Greeks Smash
Albanian Force
Athens, Greece, Aug. 12 ttl.R)
American - made rocket - firing
dive-bombers of the Greek Air
force have smashed a 25-truck
ammunition and troop convoy
entering Greece from Albania,
press reports said today.
The reports, passed by Greek
censorship, said a "majority" of
the 25 trucks were burned.
The convoy was reported en
route from Koritsa, Albania, to
guerrilla territory on the Greek
side of the border where it was
spotted by Greek airmen flying
former U. S. navy helldiver
fighter-bombers.
The attack was part of a new
summer offensive launched
against 5,000 guerrillas in the
Grammos mountains along the
Albanian frontier and another
7,000 in the 300-square-mile
Vitsi area to the north, near the
junction of the Albanian, Yugo
Slav and Greek borders.
Reports reaching Kastoria in
northwestern Greece yesterday
said that Albanian regular army
troops had moved up to the
Greek frontier to give moral
support to Greek guerillas in
danger of being trapped by the
offensive. Kastoria is about 12
miles from the Albanian fron
tier. Hawaii Plans
Ban on Strikes
Honolulu, Aug. 12 (Pi Ha
waii's senate today worked on a
bill that would outlaw union in
terference with government op
eration of docks crippled by a
104-day strike.
The attorney general's office
offered amendments clearing up
constitutionality of the proposed
law. If it passes the senate il
will be sent to the territorial
house of representatives.
Under the proposed law,
strikes and picketing against
the government would be out
lawed. The bill is the outgrowth of
the costly CIO international
longshoremen's and warehouse
men's union strike in the isl
ands. The union seeks a pay hike
from $1.40 an hour to $1.72
The legislature earlier auth
orized the governor to seize the
struck docks for government op
eration. The proposed law would ban
secondary boycotts and union
"hot cargo" action against gov
ernment operations.
The 2,000 striking union mem
bers are expected to test the val
idity of the law, if it is passed,
in an early court action.
Territorial Governor Ingram
M. Stainback has ordered the
seizure of facilities of seven
struck stevedoring companies.
The islands government is now
employing men to work ships
expected here from the gulf
coast.

Checking Up
Street Traffic
Traffic statistics regarding
two-way and one-way highway
travel are now being compiled
by the Oregon slate highway de
partment through the use of
about a dozen electrical traffic
counters on highway 99E within
the city limits of Salem.
The highway department is in
terested in comparing figures of
traffic flow on two-way arteries
to that of traffic on one-way ar
teries in the same area, and has
chosen Salem for its guinea pig
Realizing that some day Sa
lem may have a one-way sys
tern for the highway through
town (as suggested by the Bal
dock plan) highway department
officials decided to take "before
statistics now, and if the Bal-
dock plan materializes, "after
statistics will be taken by a sim
ilar .traffic count on one-way
streets.
The electrical counters will re
main in operation until some
lime next week.

Return to U.S.
Toyko, Japan, Aug. 12 (U.PJ
Gen. Douglas MacArthur today
refused to return to the United
States for talks on China be
cause of "an Impelling sense of
duty" in Japan.
Replying to a request from
Sen. William F. Knowland, R.,
Cal., that he testify before con
gress, MacArthur pointed out
that China was outside the area
of "my command, responsibility
or authority.
But he said he was "deeply
appreciative of the honor" be
stowed on him when "certain
distinguished members of the
U. S. senate" asked that he be
returned.
"Needless to say it is difficult
for me to ignore the heart
warming and friendly overtures
to return to my native land, for
which it is only natural for me
to long just as would anyone
else in my circumstances," the
general said. "But an impelling
sense of duly in a position of
highly critical responsibility
leaves me with no other re
course."
"It is my understanding that
both President Truman and the
secretary of defense have made
it clear that my return in such
circumstances is a matter for
the exercise of my own judg
mcnt in the light of considera
tions bearing upon the national
interest as I evaluate them,"
MacArthur added.
Neuner Rules
On State Laws
The exaction of "one-half of
one cent on each pond of but
terfat," set out in the milk mar
keting act of the state is to be
made from the processing and
non-processing distributor alike
and then only on that milk in
liquid form sold to the ultimate
consumer by each such distri
butor, Attorney General George
Neuner held here today. The
opinion was requested by Thom
as L. Ohlsen, acting milk mar
keting administrator.
A circuit judge who retired
on October 31, 1948, when under
the law he was entitled to $250
a month retirement benefits, is
now entitled to the Increased
benefits provided in the 1949
amendment to the judges retire
ment act, Neuner held. The opin
ion was requested by the. Secre
tary of State's accounting divi
sion and specifically refers to
Fred W. Wilson, retired, who
under the amendment is entitl
ed lo $312.50 per month.
The licensing act requiring fil
ing of names of persons licensed
to practice healing arts does not
apply lo nurses, the attorney
general maintained in an opin
ion directed to the state board
for examination and registration
of graduate nurses.

False Alarm at
Statehouse
Five trucks from Salem's
main fire station and one truck
and the first aid car from the
East Salem station roared to the
State House shortly after 1 p.
m. Friday to answer what prov
ed to be a false alarm.
The alarm came into the radio
room at City, hall at 1:04 p. m.
from box 681 which was in the
southwest end of the basement
in a store room. A careful check
of the room by the chief and
other members of the fire de
partment revealed no fire.
At 1:30 p. m. the reason for
the alarms being set off had not
been learned though some
thought that construction work
in another part of the building
near one of the alarms might
have been the cause.
Trucks from the main station
answering the call were the
hook and lader. the salvage
truck, the tank truck and two;
pumpers. ;
