Curbstoning
To Be Curbed
The used car dealers of Salem
are through talking about the
curbstoning situation; now they
are going to do something about
it.
Curbstoners are persons who
make a practice of buying and
selling used cars without a li
cense or a lot, handling their
sales under the camouflage of a
"private party."
The curbstoning racket has
been flourishing for some time
in Salem, as revealed in a Cap
ital Journal article earlier this
summer.
The dealers, who are hard hit
by the illegal curbstoners, will
work together In an effort to
sweep the alleged racketeers out
of Salem.
State police are to be called In
soon, and will contact Known
curbstoners thoughout the city
If the curbstoner does not stop
operating after being so request
ed, a warrant for his arrest may
be Issued, and it is a direct vio
lation of a state law to sell more
than three cars a year without
a license.
The organization behind the
movement is the Salem Used Car
Dealers association, a recently-
organized group with Lee Green
lee as its first president. Other
officers are Lester Capp, vice
president, and Charles Musser,
secretary-treasurer.
Salem Woman
Grade Teacher
Woodburn The teaching staff
of the Woodburn elementary
schools has been completed with
the employing of Mrs. Ellyn Mc
Sherry of Salem as a primary
instructor, according to Super
intendent Frank Doerfler. Con
tracts have been signed with 18
teachers for the grade schools.
Mrs. McSherry is a graduate
of the College of Education at
Monmouth and has had four
years teaching experience, her
last position being at Newberg.
Present plans call for three
sections in the first and second
grades of the local public schools
and two each in the grades from
third through eighth. All 'avail
able rooms at the Lincoln, Wash
ington and Belle Pass! buildings
will be used, plus one section of
the Hall school and three rooms
in the city hall. No principal is
planned for the Lincoln build
ing. Two positions are yet to be
filled on the high school faculty.
Activities Cease
At Playgrounds
All activities of the city school
sponsored playgrounds will
cease Friday afternoon after
having operated since mid-June.
The program on the final .day
of the season was featured by
picnics at all of the neighbor
hood playgrounds and at Olln-
gor field. Employes of Leslie
field also held a picnic.
Although official figure-! will
not be available until they have
been compiled by Vernon Gil
more, playground director, it is
believed attendance has been
slightly below that , of a year
ago. Participation at Olingcr
field fell off materially during
the past three weeks

Unrequesfed License
Draws Strong Protest
Folks living in the vicinity of
Center street between Park
street, Edlna Lane and Park
avenue heard a rumor someone
contemplates securing a beer or
liquor license for the neighbor
hood and Friday filed petitions
carrying 57 names asking that
the county court deny any such
application if it comes in.
The petitions state that they
are topposed to it because the
young people living in the com
munity and inmates of the state
hospital would have access to it.
Also they state property values
would be greatly reduced.
So far as known no one has
made application for such li
cense petition forms and no ap
plication has been filed with the
court for any place in that area.

Amelia Earhart
Story Refuted
Tokyo, Aug. 26 (U.P.) Aviatrix
Amelia Earhart apparently did
not land on a Japanese-mandat
ed island when she disappeared
in the Pacific on a round-the-
world flight in 1937, a survey
of former .Japanese government
and navy officials indicated to
day. The survey was conducted by
the United Press after Alvan
Fltak, 33, a former marine
lieutenant, said he had gathered
evidence Miss Earhart might
have landed on the Marshall
Islands and been taken prisoner
to Japan.
Fitak said he got his Informa
tion from a Marshall Islands
native.
However, Kenliro Kitailma,
governor of the Marshall Islands
In 1937, said he had "absolute
ly no knowledge" of any woman
landing on the islands during
his term of office.
Former Vice Adm. Seiichira
Fujimori, who had Jurisdiction
over the islands, said he knew
of no American flier who land
ed on them. He recalled the
Japanese navy participated in
the unsuccessful search for Miss
Earhart.
Japanese traders, who were
active in the islands, said this
was the first time they heard of
the rumor."
"I don't think the Japanese
would have been so foolish as
to mistreat an American of such
fame had she been , forced
down," said Tsuneo Kulo.
Bad Man Sought

Walla Walla, Wash., Aug. 26
(U.R) A "vicious and dangerous"
murderer who escaped from the
state prison with three other con
victs by digging a 35-foot tun

Authorities said that convict

dug for several weeks under the
prison walls here until they es
caped through the tunnel six
feet beneath the surface of the
ground.
Madison fled in a state-owned
truck which was found near
Athena, Ore., 27 miles south of
here. He was believed to have
stolen another car at Athena.
The other men were recap
tured soon after the break
Madison was serving a life
term imposed in Spokane coun
ty. Warden John Cranor said
he made a previous escape nine
months ago but was recaptured
