ceed Clark.

nouncement to reports in the
White House loby after the
Rhode Island senator called on

McGrath later confirmed his
acceptance of the attorney gen
. tralship.
He called It a "high honor
carrying with it tremendous re
sponsibility." McGrath was asked whether
he is resigning as chairman of

$135,660 0ffer
County Timber
Marion county has received a
bid from J. K. Elder, Portland
lumber man, of $135,000 on the
timber off of 1100 acres of land
near Sardine creek on the North
Santiam highway and County
Judge Grant Murphy will dis
cuss with state forestry officials
the feasibility of accepting the
proposition.
The land In question has been
turned over to the forestry de
partment for management and
in event of a sale the county's
share of the money would be
about $100,000, subject to what
ever distribution would have to
be made to local tax levying
agencies In the area which are
very few.
The state and Elder are in dis
pute as to what the timber
cruises on the property. The
state cruise shows 32,000,000
feet, which includes 22,000,000
fir and 10,000,000 hemlock. The
Elder cruise Indicates 24,000,000
feet of which 17,000,000 is fir
and 7,000,000 hemlock, judge
Murphy said the offer would
figure out around $8 a thousand
which he considers possibly a
little low.
However, It was conceded an
extra $100,000 in the treasury
of the county could be very use
ful and unless the forestry offi
cials have some reason for re
jecting such an offer, the coun
ty might be Interested in the
proposal.
World Census
Of Arms by UN
Lake Success, N. Y., Aug. 1
flj.B xhe United Nations con
vention armaments commission
today approved plans for a world
census of all armaments except
' the atom bomb.
Russian Delegate Semyon K
Tsarapkin charged before the
11 -member armaments commis
sion that the United States, and
not Russia, was engaging in an
arm race as tha groundwork for
World War III.
His charge came In reply to
an assertion made last Monday
by U. S. Delegate Frank C. Nash
that the Soviet Union was un
willing to agree to the inter
national arms inventory because
she and her satellites are un
willing "to let the rest of the
world know how far they have
gone in arming themselves for
the world conquest which Is
their avowed goal."
The commission adopted the
arms census plan, proposed by
France, by an 8 to 3 vote with
Russia, the Ukraine and Egypt
opposing.
The arms census plan calls
for each of the UN's 59 member-governments
to supply in
formation on a fixed date con
cerning the number of men it
has under arms, and the type
and caliber of equipment. It
specifically excludes any Inves
tigation of atomic weapons or
research connected with them
Age Pensioners'
Bodies Not Utilized
Old age pensioners don't have
to worry for fear their bodies
will be used for scientific pur
poses when they die.
Attorney General George Neu
ner ruled today that the pension
ers' bodies don't come under a
1049 law, which lets medical
schools use bodies of persons
burled at public expense.
The opinion was requested by
Governor Douglas McKay.
In an opinion for State Treat
urer Walter J. Pearson, Neuner
ruled that money recovered In
damage suits for wrongful death
is not subject to Inheritance
taxes.
Neuner ruled for the state
board of health that the Masonic
and Eastern Star home at Forest
Grove does not have to be 11
censed by the board.

Aftlee3rdBritish
Leader on Ill-list
London, Aug. 1 Vf) Prime
Minister Attlee has fallen ill
becoming the third of Britain's
"big four" leaders to go on the
sick list in time of a national
crisis.
"Mr. Attlee is ill at Chequers
with a chill," said a spokesman
at No .10 Downing street, the
prime minister's official rest
dence.
Chequers, south of London, is
the country home of the prime
minister.
The British Press asociation
said Attlee, 66, had been bed
fast since he went to the country
home after delivering a labor
party election campaign speech
in London Saturday. He is re
ported, however, to have kept in
close touch with governmental
affairs here.
In addition to his regular
duties, Attlee has been super
vising the foreign office and the
treasury recently. He took them
over when Foreign Minister Er
nest Bevin and Chancellor of
the Exchequer Sir Stafford
Cripps went to continental Eu
rope for medical attention and
rest.
Only Herbert Morrison, de
puty prime minister and fourth
ranking member of the labor
government cabinet, remains fit
for duty.
Excise Taxes
To Continue
Washington, Aug. 1 UP)
House Democratic Leader Mc-
Cormack (Mass.) said after
White House conference today,
he sees no prospect for repeal of
any of the wartime excise taxes
at this session of congress.
McCormack, in addition to his
party post, is a member of the
house ways and means commit
tee which originates tax legis
lation. McCormack and other demo
cratic congressional leaders dis
cussed the tax situation and
other matters at their regular
Monday morning session with
President Truman.
Other conferees were Vice
President Barkley, Speaker Ray-
burn and Senate Majority Lead
er Lucas.
When Lucas was asked about
the possibility of tax legislation,
he referred questioners to Mc
Cormack, asserting the matter
was in the jurisdiction of the
house committee.
"Everybody Is for repeal,"
McCormack said, "but when
you open up the question of re
pealing excise taxes, you open
up the question of repealing
them all and raise the possibility
of another $1,700,000,000 loss
in revenue.
You can't lose this much rev
enue without further unbalanc
ing the budget and without levy
ing other taxes to replace the
excise taxes."

San Francisco, Aug. 1 (U.R) The civil aeronautics board opened
a hearing here today to decide
Southwest Airways should serve

The board Is scheduled to hear
at a later date a similar case
between United and West Coast
Air Lines involving duplication
of service to Medford, Salem
and other Oregon towns.
Though date for the hearing
of the Salem case, which in
volves the CAB's ' proposal to
substitute West Coast Airlines
service here for that of UAL
has not been set, the CAB from
time to time Is receiving Infor
mation on the UAL service here.

ing to them Is Rep. Walter Nor
blad, who last week received
another letter from Joseph J.
O'Connell, Jr., chairman of the
Civil Aeronautics Board In re
ply to a letter sent the CAB
by the Oregon representative.
Norblad's letter to the CAB,
dated July 19, enclosed an ex
tract from the Congressional
Record of July 18 entitled "In
creased United Business In Sa
lem." This extract in which a
Capital Journal editorial of July
14 was quoted gave figures on
the increased business for UAL
in Salem. It Included passenger
revenue, air freight, air mail and
express.

27, assured Nnrblad that the ex
tract would be "made a part of
the record In the West Coast

Plan to Improve
State Parks
Portland, Aug. 1 W) A thor
ough program of state park de
velopment was recommended
today by State Highway Com
mission Chairman T. W. Ban
field.
He asked the state highway
parks superintendent, Sam
Boardman, to prepare an over
all plan of what improvements
should be made in Oregon state
parks and what the work should
cost.
The matter came up when
Boardman requested $10,000 to
deepen the Wallowa lake chan
nel to permit launching of mo
torboats. The commission agreed
to call for bids on the work, but
asked for the general survey.
What we need and want,
said Banfield, "is a complete
program of what is planned so
we will know just-how much
money we can spend each year
on these parks. We can't just
go along spending some money
here and there."
The park superintendent also
recommended construction of
overnight parking on Wallowa
lake, Emigrant Springs, Cove,
Silver Falls, Sunset Bay and
Wallowa mountain parks.
The commission opened sev
eral bids today. The largest was
a project to Improve the high
way between Seaside and Can
non Beach. Leonard & Slate,
Portland, submitted the low bid
of $325,675 on the work, which
includes 2.56 miles of grading
and 1.37 miles of paving be
tween the summit and Tolovana
park.
Other low bids: Marion coun
ty Tunnel Creek culvert con
struction, R. & M. Construction
Co., Central Point, $9,255. Polk
county Dallas (Levens street)
paving project, United Con
struction Co., $8,312.

three former editors of weekly

nal reported.
Two other editors have been

two state boards, the paper add
ed in a Sunday story.
The Journal said the 12 men
are strong supporters of the Tal
madge administration.
Five of the men were reached
for comment last night. One ac
cused the Journal of "picking on
the weekly press," three said
they were rfot associated with a
newspaper when they took state
jobs, and the other declared he
saw nothing wrong with taking
state job.
The Journal explained it made
an investigation at the sugges
tion of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors. The ASNE
recently criticized the employ
ment of newspapermen by the
state of Illinois.
The Atlanta daily listed the
appointees as including:
J. R. (country) Ham, publish
er of the Abbeville News, em
ployed Jan. 19 as "informational
representative" of the institu
tions division of the welfare de
partment at $350 per month.

Mystery Flares
Only Fireworks
Portland, Aug. 1 W) The
"mystery aircraft" that alarmed
some Portlanders Saturday may
have been only fireworks-shooting
mountain climbers.
Two pilots and an airport con
trol tower operator reported red
lights and flares in the sky east
of the Portland airport Satur
day night. For 15 minutes the
airport was closed while the op
erator tried to determine If a
radloless plane wanted to make
an emergency landing.
When no plane materialized,
Portlanders some still alarmed
over the flying disc reports of
recent years began speculat
ing. Not Myron Weygandt, though.
He was chairman of an Ameri
can Legion - sponsored climb of
Mt. Hood. He explained climb
ers went up the mountain Sat
urday night and set off 15 flares
red, white and green plus a
rocket and a few light bombs,
all visible as far away as Port
land.
The lights were seen by North
west Airlines Pilot Capt. Paul
Thrush and Co-pilot C. J. Cole
as they approached the airport.
Thrush said they were in the
vicinity of Mt. Hood, but later
It seemed as if they moved
about, passing his plane at a
high rate of speed, he said.
