Sewer Job
Will III ICOI UUL UIU 11U1HI
Church street bridge across
Mill creek, which will be re
placed by a new bridge built by
a city crew.
Original construction of the
bridge was to be part of the sew
er contract, but this plan was
changed .when it became neces
sary to let the pipe-manufactur
ing contract and the sewer-build-ing
project to different contrac
tors.
Werner & Teske will remove
the old bridge for the reason
that the removal is necessary so
the sewer excavations can be
made at that place.
The new bridge to be built by
the city will be about 70 feet
long, and will have a 36-foot
roadway with a seven-foot side
walk on each side. It will have
timber pilings, concrete deck
and iron railing. The cost will
be about $12,000.
With the exception of the first
work at the bridge the contrac
tors will do the construction
work from the other end of the
line, and as the work progresses
it will be necessary to close at
different times parts of North
Commercial, Shipping, Fifth, D
street, Church and Union streets
Size of the pipe now being
made by the Seattle Concrete

T. M. (Ted) Medford
Talk Appears
In the Record
To have one of his speeches
printed in full in the Congres
sional Record is an unusual dis
tinction that has come to T.
M. (Ted) Medford of Salem.
An address entitled "In a
Land of Plenty Where Are We
Drifting" has been given by
Medford before a number of
Willamette valley audiences, and
has given him a reputation as
a speaker and thinker on ques
tions of government and the Am
erican way of life.
Without Medford's knowledge
a copy of the speech was sent
by a friend to Congressman
Walter Norblad in Washington.
Norblad was so impressed with
the speech as it applies to pros
ent issues in congress that un
der "extension of remarks" he
got it published in full in the
Congressional Record of Thurs
day, July 28.
The speech takes up five col
umns in the Record, one column
more than a page.
Copies have been received by
few Salem friends and Roy
Harland, president of the Cham
ber of Commerce, is trying to
obtain a large number of copies
from Washington for distribu
tion.
Medford is district manager of
Safeway Stores. He is president
of the Salem Kiwanis club and
chairman of the public relations
department of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Salem Marine
Reservists Land
Camp Pendleton, Calif. (Spe
cial to the Capital Journal) Aug,
21 Marine Corps Transport
aircraft landed on the Camp
Pendleton airstrip at 1:35 p.m.
(standard time) today with 45
Marine reservists from Salem's
"C" battery, 4th 105 mm how
itzer battalion.
The Oregon unit, the last or
ganization of the Marine Re
serve to be trained here this
summer, will spend the next two
weeks in annual training at this
southern California Marine sta
tion.
The tight, carefully planned
training schedule includes the
maximum of modern, up-to-the-minute
combat-type training.
Artillerymen of the Fourth will
devote their days and a few
nights to the firing and employ
ment of their howitzers, the pri
mary marine infantry support
weapon.
Since Marine Corps fighting
requires that artillerymen keep
up with the riflemen the Oregon
citizen-Marines will also spend
time on the rifle range. One
night will be spent in bivouac
demonstrating the new skills ac
quired in training.
Other batteries of the Oregon
battalion are located in Portland
and Eugene. Battalion head
quarters are in Portland.
Making the return trip by
train, the reservists are expect
ed to arrive at their home towns
Sunday, September 4, following
completion of their training.
Expectant Taffy Gets
Back Shore Legs
Thousand Oaks, Cal., Aug. 22
(U.R) Three-ton Taffy, the fid
gety elephant, regained her
shore legs today while a man-
made jungle was being con
structed for her forthcoming
blessed event.
The Siamese jungle giantess
was hosted ashore at Los An
geles yesterday after a trans
Pacific voyage that kept sea
men aboard the S.S. President
Taft on edge because of her ele
phantine fits of morning sick
ness.
Movie Executive Frank
Whitebeck, one of Taffy's own
ers, said it was necessary to
build the jungle because ele
phants will kill their calves un
less birth takes place in seclu
sion. Taffy's baby, if born alive,
will be the first elephant born
in the U.S. since 1917.
The baby, expected to weigh
about 175 pounds, will be born
in two to eight months, White
beck said. One wall of Taffy's
jungle maternity ward will be
of "one-way glass through
which the birth can be watched
without her knowledge.
Station Wagon
Plunge Kills 2
Two Portland residents, iden
tified as Roscoe T. Pierce and
Mrs. Anna B. Pierce, both
around 30 years old, were killed
and their station wagon demol
ished in a plunge into a deep can
yon six miles east of Idanha
early Monday morning.
There were no witnesses to
the accident, believed to have
occurred around 1 o'clock, and
the alarm was given by a pass
ing motorist who noticed lights
of a car burning in the canyon
and notified a state police offi
cer stationed in that area.
Leston Howell, Marion county
coroner, left for the scene short
ly after 3 o'clock. He describes
the wreckage as "bad as a plane
wreck" with parts of the vehicle
strewn among the boulders from
the road way to the bottom of
the canyon, about 200 feet be
low. Both bodies were thrown
clear.
Marks on the highway indi
cate that tire had blown out
and that the brakes had locked,
causing the vehicle to plunge
from the highway. Both bodies
are at the Howell-Edwards
funeral home here.
The couple were parents of
two small children. Pierce, a
partner with his father in the
Northwest Hardwood Floor com
pany in Portland, had left Port
land with his wife Friday night
for a week-end of antelope hunt

The shock was felt at 8:03:27
p.m. PST, Sitka, Petersburg and
Juneau, southeast Alaska points,
said it was the dish-rattling, pic
ture shaking type. Another
slight shock this morning, at
9:05 a.m. PST was reported by
Petersburg.
Store windows were smashed
and cars rolled crazily on the
streets at Prince Rupert and at
Terrace, B. C, 90 miles east.
A two-foot wave swept along the
waterfront at Ketchikan, Alas
ka, moments after the shock
Dishes were knocked from
shelves and pictures from walls
at Petersburg.
Damage in Seattle
Ten houseboats were torn
from their moorings in Seattle's
Lake Union. Power lines and
water mains were broken
some parts of the city.
The Queen Charlotte islands
500 miles northwest of Vancou
ver, B. C, reported "the heavi
est shocks in the island's his
tory." Chimneys tumbled, build
ings swayed and windows shat
tered. Homes rocked on founda
tions and some communications
poles snapped.
William Baker, publisher of
the Ketchikan Daily Chronicle,
said in a telephone interview
that the gangplank of the S. S.
Prince George almost went out
from underneath him as he step
per from the ship. Theater pa
trons rushed from the building
in panic, but returned shortly.
Baker said the initial shock was
followed five muintes later by
lesser one. It was the first
shock ever felt by the south
eastern Alaska city, according
to long-time residents.
A Tacoma woman said the wa
ter sloshed from her swimming
pool. And in Portland another
woman said her houseboat rock
ed in the Willamette river just
as it did in the northwest's worst
earthquake four months ago.
Then, April 13, the violent
temblor caused eight deaths and
damaeg of more than $15,000,
damage of more than $15,000,-
At Portland, Ore., an ama
teur seismologist, F. William
Geitz, recorded the primary
shock at 9:04 p.m. (PDT).
As many as eight shocks were
reported by the northern Brit
ish Columbia communities.
Truman Pleads
(Continued from Page !)
"For that reason," he went
on, we have to join other
friendly nations in forming re
gional defense pacts."
Condemns Communism
The president, speaking in
Dinner Key auditorium, con
demned communism for its
"false" claim that it satisfied
"the universal desire for a bet
ter life."
Instead, he said, it "lures men
by false promises back to tyr
anny and slavery."
The president made no refer
ence to the plight of communist-controlled
China. A new
American policy concerning that
country is in course of study at
the state department.
But, he said, the Philippines
and Korea, the two young re
publics in the far east, "need
military assistance if they are
to maintain their national secur
ity."

effort to wed his Austrian sweetheart via transAtlantic telephone
fell through Saturday.

identified as Tito agents in Al

Must Lose Their Heads
"However much the bourgoise
nationalist band of Tito, Ranko
vitch and Djilas rage and storm
in Belgrade, whatever Satanic
methods they employ, they, like
Kochi Dzodze, soon or later must
stand trial before the people and
pay with their heads for the
crimes committed against the
camp of socialism and proletar
ian internationalism."
Tito is premier of Yugoslavia;
Edward Kardclj, vice-premier
and foreign minister; Gen. Alex
ander Rankovitch, vice premier
and interior minister, and Milo
