To Swap Arms
With Canada
Washington, Aug. 13 VP)
Lawmakers voiced general ap
proval today of a proposal to
swap military supplies with Can
ada, although some of them
picked flaws in the plan.
Secretary of Defense John
son reported to President Tru
man and the cabinet yesterday
that the Canadians want to bar
ter warships, aircraft, small
arms ammunition and other
things they make for American
supplies. This would help keep
Canada's dollar reserve intact
but still provide her with equip
ment she can get only in this
country.
The defense secretary said he
very much in favor of the
idea. And so were many mem
bers of congress.
Chairman Connally (D., Tex.)
of the senate foreign relations
committee said the proposal
looks as if it might "be help
ful to both countries."
But Senator Maybank (D-
S.C.) said he doesn't like the
idea of exchanging U.i S. sup
plies for anti-submarine vessels,
one of the Canadian items nam
ed. .
Along that line, Secretary of
the Navy Matthews assured
Senator Johnston (D-S.C.) yes
terday that he knows nothing
of reports that the Charleston,
S. C, navy yard will be closed.
Peaches For Free Advertis
ing Marion county peaches and
providing guests with samples,
W. W. Chadwick, owner of the
Senator hotel, has placed a huge
bowl in the lobby of the , hotel
with a sign telling guests to help
themselves. Chadwick has re
serve boxes of fruit available
and the bowl is kept full. The
fruit is grown- on his own ranch
which is producing several hun
dred boxes this year.
Visiting Here Mrs. Emma E
Jones of Chicago is spending a
few days in Salem as guest at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. E
Arneson. Mrs. Jones for 26
years was superintendent of the
Multnomah county hospital. She
retired a few years ago and is
making her home with a niece in
Chicago. Dr. Tom Dunham of
Salem is her nephew.

1300 Pickers
Needed in Area
Two-thousand more pickers
are needed to help harvest snap
beans, hops, prunes and other
late crops in various parts of
Oregon, the state unemployment
service reported today.
The service said that the cen
ter of agricultural activity for
the next month or six weeks
would be the Salem area, where
1,300 more workers are needed
at once in the early hops and
snap bean harvest, and where
many more will be needed at
the height of hop picking in ear
ly September. Cucumbers,
blackberries, pears, peaches and
grain also are ready for har
vest. Hop pickers for early hops
near Independence and bean
pickers in the Stayton and West
Stayton area are especially ur
gently needed, according to Wil
liam H. Baillie, manager of the
employment office at Salem.
McMinnville, Hillsboro,
Gresham and Eugene have is
sued calles for outside help, but
there is room for only a hundred
or two in each area, the em
ployment service said.
In eastern Oregon, the only
labor shortage area is Freewat
er, where fresh prunes are being
picked and packed.
The employment service said
the pear harvest in full swing

Home Freezers
(Continued from Page 1)
Bennett is president of the
Albert Verley, Chicago Perfume
company. Testimony brought
out in the senate inquiry was
that the home freezer units were
shipped by Albert J. Gross
Milwaukee business man. The
testimony also was that they
were paid for by the perfume
concern.
Vaughan said it is his recol
lection that those receiving the
home freezers were not ac
quainted with either Hoffman
or Bennett.
He said: "They may have
asked me later from whom I
obtained the units and some
acknowledgement of the re
ceipts of the units may have
been made to these men, or to
either of them."

Marion County Prisoner Confesses Slaying Edward Charles
McEwen, held by Sheriff Denver Young for stealing and
wrecking Rigdon's mortuary hearse, has confessed to Arizona
authorities in Salem to accomplish his extradition that he killed
Frank Shupe, a citrus grower, near Phoenix on June 12,
of this year. From left: B. W. Wiskstrum, Arizona deputy
sheriff and McEwen who are now on their way to Arizona.
McEwen En route Arizona
To Face Murder Charges
Special investigators B. G. Wikstrum and Lin Constajitine from
the sheriff's office at Phoenix, Ariz., left Salem Friday after
noon with Edward Charles McEwen in custody headed back
toward Phoenix armed with McEwen's confession to the murder
of Frank Shupe, citrus grower,
irrigation canal about a mile out
of Phoenix, June 12.
Also leaving Salem Friday
afternoon was Texas Ranger
Frank Probst who had hasten
ed here following McEwen's ar
rest to see if he could be lied
in with the murder of Tev
Thornton, widely known oil
explosive expert, at Amaruio,
Texas, June 22.
While McEwen made a state
ment to the Arizona officers ad
mitting the crime in that state,
he as stoutly denied any impli
cation in the Texas murder, tell
ing them he had never been in
Texas and giving information
as to his movements after the
Arizona crime which, he said,
could be checked on by the of
ficers and he was certain would
clear him of such complicity.
. Texas Ranger Probst told lo
cal officers that when he back
tracked to his own state he
would check on McEwen's story.
And he left here somewhat
convinced that McEwen's state
ments would be borne out as
iatest information as to the fin
ger prints found in connection
with the Texas killings indicat
ed they didn't match up any too
well with McEwen s which
threw a considerable shadow of
a doubt on the theory that one
man did both the Jobs. While
the description of the Texas sus
pect showed a great similarity
to that of McEwen, it was said
to be not such as to be entirely
conclusive. The two murders fol
lowed pretty much the same
general pattern and this was one
reason which sent the ranger
hurrying here when he heard of
the McEwen arrest.

On the south side of the river,
access roads are being built by
CBI around the hills, to provide
several approaches to a rock
quarry from which dam build
ers will obtain all the "aggre
gates" needed to mix with ce
ment for the huge, tall dam. The
formation in the quarry is also
dioritc, the same as found in the
tunnel, and is particularly suit
able for a most satisfactory ce
ment mix.
Two bridges now span tin
North Santiam at the damsite,
the upper stream bridge having
been in use for some time while
the lower river bridge is com
pleted except for planking. This
bridge is picturesque, an arch
rib type with one 200-foot span,
another 100-foot span and two
50-foot spans. The bridge will
support up to 70 tons.
About 500 men are now being
employed by CBI with the peak
of construction expected next
spring when pouring of cement
will begin. It is estimated that
approximately 1500 men will be
employed at that time. Far
more than this number are al
ready registered, it was stated.

In Washington the government
started off the first month of the
new fiscal year spending more
money than it had in the bank.
That spells inflation with a capi
tal "1."
The only living former oresi
dent, Herbert Hoover, had an un
settling thought.
The government is spending
the people's savings, he said, and
through government spending
and taxes the nation is heading
for collectivism.
Corporate earnings still were
pretty good. But they were a
little lower in the second quarter
in many cases. It still was cost
ing them more money to make
a dollar.
Some Pass Dividends
Some of the big fellows, like
American Woolen and U. S.
Rubber cut their second quarter
dividends.
But that was water over the
dam. Those figures reflected past
performances. Current conditions
were more encouraging.
Wesltnghouse said it planned
to hiro additional workers at its
Mansfield, Ohio, and Springfield,
Mass., plants to meet increased
production schedules in its elec
tric appliance divisions.

Capital Journal representa

and F. F. Paul, coordinator for
CBI. Incidentally, Paul is assist
ing a group of the CBI employes
and citizens of Mill City in an
effort to launch a nine-hole golf
course. The company has noth
ing to do with this, but already
150 charter members have been'
signed up and it is possible Mill
City may have a golf course in
the not too distant future.
A new housing project for
army engineer personnel has
been launched on the new high
way, north of Camp Mongold.
Lt. Col. J. W. Miles, resident en
gineer, stated that a contract for
installation of water and sewer
