FEPA Applies lo
School Districts
The fair employment practices
act of the 1949 legislature ap
plies to school districts, since
they are not specifically excep
ted from its provisions, Attor
ney General George Neuner held
here today. The opinion was re
quested by District Attorney C.
E. Luckey of Lane county.
The state engineering board
sets the salary of its secretary
because of an amendment by the
1949 legislature, Neuner declar
ed in an opinion sought by E. A.
Buckhorn, secretary of the
board. Prior to July 16, when
the amendment became opera
tive, the salary was fixed- by
statute.
Failure of notices of a school
election to specify the time of
day the polls would be opened
and closed should not invalidate
the election, Neuner held in an
opinion requested by the board
of school district 103, Wood
burn, Marion county, and the
board was advised it has both
authority and duty to issue and
sell bonds voted by the district
in an election July 29 of this
year. Votes favoring the issue to
taled 433; against, 300.
A constable cannot serve two
districts, Neuner advised James
A. Norman, Coos county district
attorney, suggesting that justice
districts 1 and 2 of that county
could be consolidated if each or
either is too small to require
regular services of a constable.
A justice of the peace may ap
point someone to serve papers,
too, Neuner's opinion pointed
out.

Hospital Drive
Gets Results
Salem residents today re

"They were the Pumalite Block

and E. G. Quine, 2035 Bruce, of
the Salem Pump and Meter Co."
Meanwhile, Lois Maederer,

Attorney General
Falls, Breaks Ribs
Slate's Attorney General
ticorge Neuner, whose deep and
resounding voice has been heard
in many an Oregon courtroom,
was speaking in low tones today.
Until the X-ray films have
been studied by his physician
he won't know for sure, but
both he and the doctor are of
the opinion that he fractured
two ribs in a fall at his McMinn
villc home Friday night. He
broke his left wrist in the fall
and that is in a cast and sling.
but to be on the safe side the
damaged ribs are encased in
what Neuner terms "my first
corset," a tape device which lim
its his breathing and consequent
ly his speaking.

Strange Case of Leaking
Roof at Track Explained
Washington, Aug. 8 UP) Paul Grindle, New England manu
facturer, told senators today about
roof at the Foxboro trotting track clubhouse and what caused it.
The track, located 19 miles from Boston, was built during 1946-
47 with what Grindle described
James V. Hunt of Washington,
key figure in the senate's "five
percenter" investigation.
Grindle, one of the opening
witnesses before the senate in
vestigating committee, said Hunt
told him this story of how he
helped get the track built:
Paul Bowser of Boston, presi
dent of the track, went to hunt
for help In getting the then-
required government okay. Hunt
went to Frank Creedon, then
housing expediter now with the
Hanford, Wash., atomic plant,
and Creedon told him what to
do about "getting around reg
ulations."
The "loophole" was that i
building could be moved onto a
site and housing officials would
approve alterations for it. So at
Foxboro some small buildings
were moved to the track site and
remodeled into a single building
for a clubhouse.
But Boston housing officials,
when they Inspected the job, de
cided the track had gone too far
outside regulations. So they or
dered the buildings separated
by cutting three two-foot slots
across the structure.
This let in the sky and the rain
Bowser protested.
Bowser notified Hunt of what
had happened and Hunt again
went to Creedon. Creedon call
ed the Boston office by telephone
and demanded to know if they
were trying to make him "the
laughing stock of the country
Boston officials told Creedon
the slots already had been cut
and it would cost too much to
plug them.
Grindle, a Framingham. Mass
manufacturer, never did get
around to saying whether the
slots had been covered over. He
did say Hunt told him he col
lected a $15,000 fee from the
track.

Klan Routed in
Pitched Battle
Iron City, Ga., Aug. 8 UP)
A one-armed Georgia mayor
and some of his friends renewed
a shooting war against robed,
night-riding Ku Klux Klansmen
yesterday.
To top it off, the mayor chas
ed a Klan official into Alabama
at a 100-mile-an-hour pace and
had him jailed.
The shooting spree started,
said Mayor C. L. Drake of Iron
City, when 12 or 15 carloads of
robed Klansmen rolled into this
little southwest Georgia hamlet
in the dark, early Sunday morn
ing hours. One unidentified
Klansman received a flesh
wound. Drake reported none of
his fighters was hurt.
The mayor, a Klan foe of long
standing, declared "some of the
bullets whizzed by within five
feet of me" while he hastily-
scribbled down the robed fig
ures' auto tag numbers.
Drake said he didn't have a
gun but that some of his friends
did and they peppered the Klan
convoy with shotgun and pistol
fire. The night riders retaliat
ed, he related.
Several hours elapsed be
tween the shooting and the dare
devil automobile chase to Doth
an, Ala., 38-miles away.
The klan official, booked as
Bill Hendrix of Tallahassee, Fla.,
said he is an organizer for a new
hooded order, the Southern Ku
Klux Klan." The mayor had him
jailed on a warrant charging as
sault with intent to murder.
