African Styles
Fashion Vogue
Beverly Hills, Calif., Aug. 18
(Pi The wilds of Africa have
invaded fashions.
Inspired by his recent trip to
the dark continent, Adrian has
designed a series of fashions
that look like everything from
costumes of native chieftains to
cold, sleek cobras.
Tiger stripes and leopard
spots dazzled the eye at Adrian's
fall fashion showing yesterday
One outfit, a sleek hooded
suit of cobra-like material, with
long tapering gloves, is start
lingly reminiscent of the veno
mous reptile.
Another costume, dressed up
with braid and tassels, looks
like a fuzzy-wuzzy native. Long
fringe and braids make another
look like an Indian princess'
garb.
Unusual and tricky sleeves
are used in Adrian's more con
servative numbers. Cut-out
shoulders, sleeves like angel's
wings, sleeves like fans, and
cape-effect sleeves are distinctive.
Newcomers
List Swelled
More new arrivals were add
ed to the population of Salem
during the week of July 18 to 25
than any other week this year
so far, the Chamber of Com
merce reports.
The total list for that week
was 45, but most of these are
heads of families, so the figure
should be multiplied by about
3 for the actual number.
Most of them, of course, came
from other places in Oregon,
but 14 in the list came from
other states or countries.
For the full month of July the
chamber's list shows 129 new
names, which also must be mul
tiplied by 3.6 for actual figures,
which would be 46 new popula
tion for the month. Out of the
29 other Oregon places contrib
uted 85 and other states or
countries 44.
Numerous letters are received
daily from persons who want to
come to Oregon and who inquire
about various business oppor
tunities in the Willamette val
ley. Among the latest is a group
of medical laboratory techni
cians represented by Elmer
Rich, 2728 Edgehill road, Cleve
land, Ohio. They want to know
how many medical laboratories
are established within a radius
of 100 miles of Salem, the
number of hospitals having lab
oratories, and the number of
physicians in private practice
in the same radius.

Tells of Rescue
On 'Shangri La'
Four years ago last May,
Reynolds Allen, Salem business
man, then an officer in the army
air corps, played an important
role in the rescue of two men
and a woman from the valley of
Shangri La." Tuesday noon
during the Kiwanis club lunch
eon Allen spoke of his experi
ences and showed the film that
was made at the time by a Neth
erlands picture concern.
Allen spoke of the 10 to 1
ratio of men over women in the
valley but admitted that he had
heard 'Of no reason for the sit
uation. He said the jumping
of two Filipino medics into the
wilderness of New Guinea as the
outstanding feat of the rescue.
The people within the 400-mile
long valley were described as
purely primitive, having had no
experience with the outside
world. They knew nothing of
tobacco, salt and apparently had
no method of recording history.

Testifies for
'Tokyo Rose'
San. Francisco, Aug. IB NP
A Los Angeles born woman on
trial for treason made the To
kyo Rose broadcasts to Ameri
can troops during the war
against her will, an Australian
wartime major says.
Charles Cousens, now a 48-year-old
radio announcer at Sid
ney, told a federal jury yester
day he selected Mrs. Iva To
gurl d'Aquino, 33, Jor the To
kyo Rose job.
"She had a gin fog voice the
comedy voice I needed "to shade
the Tokyo Rose programs so
they would miss their intended
propaganda effect, explained the
defense witness.
He persuaded her to go on
the air, he said, by telling her:
"This is a straight out pro
gram. I've written it and I know.
Look on it as though you were
a soldier under my orders. You'll
do nothing you don't have to do.
I'll guarantee that."
He said he previously assur
ed himself of her loyalty of the
graduate of the University of
California at Los Angeles to the
United States, whose citizenship
she refused to renounce.
He said he wrote the script for
the program so it would seem to
be, but wouldn't actually be, a
morale-destroying "home sicky"
program. He put it on to remove
the threat of execution from al
lied prisoners forced to work at
Radio Tokyo, Cousens said.
Dictated Memo
(Continued from Page 1)
Waitt also acknowledged writ
ing another memorandum which
gave a highly flattering report
on himself. It was written in
the third person and he testi
fied it was prepared for
Vaughan to hand to President
Truman as Vaughan't evalua
tion of Waitt.
Flattered Himself
Senator McCarthy (R., Wis.),
noted that Waitt, in the report,
described himself as one of the
world's leading experts on tox
icological warfare.
Waitt laughed nervously and
then said: .
"That is most embarrassing
But it happens to be true."
Waitt, squirming in his chair
and still laughing, said:
"Pravda (Soviet newspaper)
has called me the savage Gen
eral Waitt. Moscow radio has
called me a cannibal."
The committee got testimony
last week there was no evidence
the report Want prepared on
himself ever got to the White
House. It was found in Hunt's
files.
Waitt said today: "I didn't
use that memo. My brass broke
down at that point. I wasn't ask
ed for it. It's just been a source
of embarrassment to me."
Waitt, a small, slightly-built
man, wore his uniform with
four rows of decorations as he
testified. He has remained si
lent publicly since he was sus
pended. Waitt and Maj. Gen. Herman
Feldman, quartermaster general
were suspended July 16 by Sec
retary of the Army Gray pend
ing further investigation. Gray
acted after the names of the
two officers were brought out in
the senate inquiry.
Hunt Close Friend
Waitt today called Hunt "a
close personal friend." Before
Waitt testified, Lt. Col. Roy T
Evans testified that Hunt claim
ed to have been responsible for
Waitt's appointment as chemical
chief.
Evans said Hunt, forme'r of
ficer in the quartermaster corps,
made the claim at a social gath
ering within the last year and
half. He said Hunt tried to
"impress people" that he knew
many prominent persons.
Evans said Hunt also said at
the party that he was responsl
ble for the appointment of Tighe
Woods as housing expediter, and
Jess Larson as war assets ad
ministrator. Hunt formerly was
special consultant for the WAA.

Results of the 1949 official
travel survey, placed under way

ing pier nine. It also restrains
the ILWU, its officers and 100
"John Does" from "inciting or
directing" anyone else to picket
the pier and thus halt work on
the ship.
Taking a picket post on pier
nine, Bridges moved swiftly
toward the ILWUs long-threatened
test of the seizure law's
constitutionality.
Injunction Secured
Authorities served him with
an injunction notice. He stuffed
it in his pocket. For a half-hour
he marched on the picket line.
Police did not try to stop him.
On the march he told report
ers:
"This is the start on this law.
It's going to the supreme court.
This is where it starts and that
is where it will end. What these
islands need is a cool breeze,
legislatively speaking."
The ILWU has called the seiz
ure law all along an attempt to
break the strike.
Bridges and his union blocked
for one full day, at least, the
government's operations on Mat
son line ships. They normally
carry the bulk of Hawaii-main
land commerce.

Washington, Aug. 16 W)
Secretary of Labor Tobin fore
cast today an increase of a mil
lion jobs by the end of the year
and a corresponding drop in un
employment.
Tobin reported to President
Truman that the employment
situation is improving steadily.
He told reporters on leaving
the White House:
"It looks very much like there
will be a decided increase in em
ployment during the next six
months and that by the end of
the year payrolls will be increas
ed by approximately 1,000,000
persons.
This does not take In the pos
sibility of a major strike in coal
or steel, he said.
Tobin said there would be a
substantial increase in employ
ment and a drop in unemploy
ment figures beginning about
the middle of September.
He said he based his forecast
on the fact that purchasing or
ders to build up depicted inven
tories already are increasing and
will continue to accelerate. He
also said the employment situ
ation would be helped by many
workers returning to school in
the fall.
Asked If he thought a steel
and coal strike could be avert
ed, he replied he devoutedly
hopes so.
$30,000Suit

Spaulding stated that the
1942 leases were on a basis of
$100 per acre per year. As time
went on the lease value of the
lands went up, he said, until by
1946 a reasonable lease value
was in excess of $200 an acre.
New members had come into the
cooperative and many of the old
ones didn't come back. Spauld
ing said it was realized by the
members that the lease values
of the land were not commen
surate with what was being
paid and an agreement was then
reached that for the years 1946,
1947 and 1948 Jones would be
paid $10,000 a year for each
year, the consideration being he
would not raise the rentals on
the land and this, he said, was
the consideration for the $30,
000 voted to Jones from the re
volving fund, an agreement, he
said, made between Jones and
the cooperative for the benefit

B. G. Skulason, Portland at
torney appearing for Hiroshi,
alleged there was no considera
tion shown between Jones and
the 1942 members of the coop
erative. He said after the evac
uation many of the old mem
bers, Including Hiroshi, did not
come back, that the profits tak
en from the 1942 crop were
profits to be accounted for with
the members who gave their
power of attorney and were
members of the cooperative at
the time and for that reason.
he averred, the $30,000 should
be distributed to them.
The case Is on trial on an
amended complaint, the court
having stricken from the orig
inal complaint all the issues
raised except that of alleged
lack of consideration. However,
Skulason said that under a new
law of 1949 evidence' as to the
issues raised by the original
complaint can be put into the
record for the benefit of the
supreme court and Judge Kim-
mcll agreed to this, but said
as far as the instant trial is con
cerned, none of those issues is
involved, other than alleged lack
of consideration.
one of the authors of the disap- .
proval resolution (which re
quires a constitutional majority
of 49 senators to become effec
tive), was equally cautious. He
agreed that a heavy turn-out
was necessary if the 49 votes
were to be obtained
