of the county court Wednesday with an interpretation of the new
law providing for improving of platted and dedicated streets in
unincorporated areas by assessment against abutting properties,

Salem Milk of
Good Qualify
The Salem milk market area
Is getting a good quality of
Grade A milk says a report to
the city administration by O. K
Beals, chief of the division of
foods and dairies of the state
agricultural department.
As of August 1, says the re
port, the Salem milk inspection
service was in satisfactory com
pliance with state Grade A fluid
milk standards.
The sanitary condition of the
milking barn, milk house and
equipment of 32 producers of
the 101 holding Grade A per
mits on the Salem market who
were inspected as a part of the
investigation was found to be
above the minimum state Grade
A producer sanitation require
ments, with the exception of one
dairy.
The satisfactory condition of
the number inspected is con
sidered to be indicative of the
remaining producers supplying
fluid milk to the Salem market,
the report says.
Except for an occasional sub
standard sanitary condition in
the way of cleanliness of utensils
or milking barn floors and ceil
ings, the dairies were in good
condition, the report continues.
It was noted, however, that
the requirement for covered hay
chutes should be given more at
tention.
Quality of milk delivered by
producers to plants was found
very good. Fluid milk plants
and retail raw dairies were all
found to be in compliance with
state Grade A standards.

Hawaii's 102-day waterfront tie
up to the showdown stage today.
Gov. Ingram M. Stalnback

the territorial government s take
over of two of the islands' seven
struck dock companies. The five
others in the outer islands were

tions to defy the territory.

dock seizure law within hours
after the government puts its
longshoremen to work. The gov
ernment began signing up 1,500
stevedores yesterday.
Hall also said the CIO Marine

Washington ordered Its members
not to sail ships from behind
ILWU picket lines. John Perry
Honolulu representative of the
engineers, confirmed receipt of
the order from Washington head
quarters.
The emergency law passed by
I special session of the Hawaiian

Wednesday, August 10, 1949
County Judge Grant Murphy's
Icomment.
Petition forms for such im
provements as received from
Multnomah county had been
turned over to the district attor
ney for comment and any revi
sions he might suggest and he
filed his report Wednesday.
Initially he pointed out that
it would be necessary for "all
the people living along the pro
posed improvement" to present
a petition to the court, even
though the petition itself would
require only a minimum of 75
per cent of the property owners
owning at least 75 per cent of
the property to sign up for the
improvement itself.
The district attorney stated
that the law reads, "when the
people living along a platted
street or dedicated road shall de
sire to improve such road they
may present a petition signed
by not less than 75 per cent of
the owners of property repre
senting not less than 75 per cent
of the abutting property."
The district attorney said that
under such language it would
mean to get the petition before
the court it would require the
signatures of "all the adults'
living along the street whether
property owners or not."
"This may not have been the
intent of the legislature In pass
ing the law, and I realize fre
quently intent is the governing
force, but it is certainly the
reading of the law and when
the matter of assessment and
taxation is involved too much
care cannot be exercised as to
what it says, regardless of what
may have been the intent," said
the district attorney.
The county court immediate
ly asked the district attorney to
get an opinion from the attor
ney general on the point in
question. Judge Murphy, who
was the primary inspiration for
the law and prepared its origi
nal draft, said certainly it was
not his intent to require the
names of all people living along
the street to get a petition be
fore the court and he is certain
it was not the legislative intent,
but he agreed if there is any
question involved it should have
ample legal consideration before
any steps are taken to spend
money under the act.
Opposes Clark's
Appointment
Washington, Aug. 10 (PI O.
John Rogge, a former assist
ant attorney general under Tom
Clark, said today his former
boss "has neither the stature.
integrity nor ability" demanded
of a supreme court justice.
Rogge, whose legal activities
since he left the government led
to sharp questioning, appeared
before the senate judiciary com
mittee in behalf of Henry Wal
lace's progressive party.
The committee is considering
President Truman's nomination
of Clark to the high tribunal,
Rogge had been allotted 20
minutes to testify. But he re
mained on the stand for more
than an hour after launching a
bitter attack on Clark's part in
carrying out the administration's
loyalty program.
Rogge called the lists of sub
versive organizations which
Clark has issued under that pro
gram unconstitutional "black
lists," intended to imply "guilty
Dy association."
He snid Clark had conducted
a "loyalty witch-hunt" among
federal employes until many
Americans are "afraid to think
for themselves."
Senator Ferguson (R., Mich.)
interrupted to ask Rogge how he
would have protected govern
ment secrets and confidential
matters against subversives and
communists.

German Police
Fire on DP Jews
Munich, Germany, Aug. 10 WP)
German police today fired in
to a crowd of 1000 Jewish dis
placed persons they said had
stoned them and defied orders
to disperse.
The police said three of the
DP's were wounded.
The crowd, without obtain
ing a license for a meeting, had
gathered to protest an alleged
anti-Semitic letter in a Munich
newspaper, police said.
Munich, in the American oc
cupation zone, was a Nazi
stronghold before the war. Hit
ler staged his first, unsuccessful
beer hall putsch here in 1922
The crowd of DPs gathered In
front of the building housing the
newspaper Sueddeutsche Zei
tung, which had printed a letter
criticizing German Jews.
City officials said the DP's re'
plied to an order to disperse by
tearing up cobblestones from the
street and hurling them at the
police. Hand-to-hand fighting
broke out at several points.
The DP's set fire to one po
lice car. Then they pelted a has
tily summoned fire engine with
stones.
Four more fire engines arriv
ed and also were stoned.
The crowd dispersed after the
firing.

Ask Return of
Hospital Cards
The city campaign division of
the Salem Hospital Development
program neared the finish wire
today, and its leaders appealed
to Salem residents to speed re
turn of pledge cards so that the
whole project may be wrapped
up in good order, and hurriedly.
Chairman Al W. Loucks said
that a. telephoning canvass by
volunteer women workers will
end this afternon, having comb
ed the directory as completely as
possible.
"We undoubtedly have missed
a few persons who are willing
to give," he said. "We invite
them to come to campaign head
quarters at 335 North High
street, or to call one of the tele
phones there 2-4601 and
2-3851. It will help us greatly if
persons who have received
pledge cards by personal call or
through the mail will return
them at once."
The campaign office reported
gratifying results from the dial
ing offensive.
As the day began 245 cards
had gone into the mail by re
quest of telephone subscribers
contacted Monday and Tuesday
At least 100 more were yet to be
mailed.
While this canvass stressed the
desirability of even the smallest
donation, not all of those receiv
ed were in this category. Two
hospital benefactors reached
through this system signed cards
for $150 each.
Drive to reach potential giv
ers among the general public
will close officially on Friday.
Odds and ends of the campaign
will make it necessary to main
tain a headquarters for a consid
erable time, however, and it is
expected that the High street of
fice will be kept open for i
matter of months.
Rotary Hears
Fry on Africa
The natives of Africa vary
greatly in their complexion,
habits,, mentality, wealth, etc.,
and the country itself offers all
sorts of terrain and soil condi
tions, Dan Fry, Salem business
man and city councilman, told
in a talk to a meeting of the Sa
lem Rotary club at the Marion
hotel Wednesday noon. Fry and
his wife retently made a three
months trip through Africa.
Fry said that the color of the
natives range from that which
resembles ' a sun-tanned white
person to a very deep black.
The heighth of the tallest Pigmy
is about four feet, while some
tribes are replete with seven
footers. Several languages are employ
ed by the African natives, Fry
recalls. He said that the lan
guage used by one tribe has but
seven sounds, mostly of a cluck
ing nature.
Certain natives can go for a
month without eating, Fry re
ported, and when' they do eat
their main diet is elephant meat.
These natives have no perma
nent place to stay, but just roam

He said that most of the na

In regard to big game hunt

anyone would want to hunt

easy to find and so easy to kill."
Fry did try his hand at fish

Obtained Here
Had 33 persons remembered
to keep their appointments Tues
day, Salem might have attained
its goal of 100 points when the
mobile unit from the Portland
regional blood center made its
regular stop here.
As it was, only 77 pints were
obtained. Ten persons who
showed up for the unit were
unable to give blood.
Because of several "drop-ins,
those stopping at the unit with
out appointment, cancellations
were offset, but there were not
enough to fill in for the 33 who
failed to show.
Next visitation of the mobile
unit will be September 1 when
it will receive donations of blood
from the local naval reserve
unit, including navy, marines
and seabees. Next regular stop
for the general public in Salem
will be September 13.
