To Reconsider
Long Beach Cut
Washington, Aug. 29 W) Rep.
Doyle (D., Calif.), said today
navy department officials have
agreed to reconsider orders shut
ting down the Long Beach
(Calif.) naval shipyard.
The Long Beach congressman
requested the reconsideration In
a conference today with Under
secretary of Navy Dan Kimball
and Rear Adm. Charles D
Wheelock, assistant chief of the
bureau of ships.
Doyle told a reporter he did
not receive "too much encour
agement."
However, he said, the officials
promised to reconsider the move
and discuss it with Capt. W. E
Sullivan, commandant of the
shipyard, who is in Washington.
Doyle s a i a a decision was
promised late this week.
The congressman said Kimball
advised him that because of
changing work loads., personnel
cuts will be greater on the west
coast than elsewhere.
Doyle urged that any neces
sary personnel reduction at Long
Beach be spread over an 18
month period. The navy, he
said, already had agreed to
i spread the reduction over a year
' instead of the originally plan
ned four months.
British Cabinet
Approves Plan
London, Aug. 29 UP) Prime
Minister Attlee's labor cabinet
approved today a 15,000-word
plan for dealing with Britain's
economic crisis.
Sir Stafford Cripps, chancel
lor of the exchequer, and For
eign Secretary Ernest Bevin will
take the plan to Washington
this week for talks with U. S.
and Canadian leaders on the dol
lar problem.
Just what specific, steps Bri
tain will propose for joint action
in bolstering her sagging econ
omy remained secret. It was not
disclosed whether the cabinet
made any substantial changes
In the plan as drafted by treas
ury, board of trade and foreign
office experts.
The ministers met for four
hours and 10 minutes, with a
. break for lunch.
John Straehey, minister of
food, and Hugh Gaitskell, min
ister of fuel, took part In the cab
inet meeting, although they are
not members of the cabinet.1
This led to speculation that
cuts in dollar purchases of gas
oline and food were being dis
cussed. Democrats Meet
At Klamath Falls
Klamath Tails, Aug. 29 P)
Some 500 democrats gathered in
Moore park here yesterday for
the Klamath county democratic
picnic, described by local party
officials as the opening gun in
the 1950 political campaign.
Principal speakers were Sen
ator Austin Flegel of Multno
mah county, expected to run for
governor or United States sen
ator next year, and State Treas
tirer Walter Pearson.
Pearson declared the party is
on the upsurge, and is strong
enough to win the governorship,
two seats in congress and a ma
jority in the legislature.
Flegel called for a fight with
republicans on such Issues as the
Columbia valley authority, la
bor and social rights. He warned
that the party "hasn't any room
for poor candidates, for dishon
esty or incompetence."
Steel Fact-Finders
Extend Report Time
New York, Aug. 29 Ml The
fact-finding board in the steel
Industry dispute announced to
day that President Truman had
extended the time for submis
sion of its report to Sept. 10.
The original deadline was to
morrow, but the board had to
ask for the extension because
submission of the evidence took
longer than was at first expect
ed.
Chairman Carroll R. Daugh
terty made no announcement
about extension of the 60-dav
truce deadline, which is Sept.
14, but board members said ear
lier they did not believe this
would be changed.
They said privately that the
CIO Steelworkers union and the
companies probably would de
cide in a short time whether
they would accept the panel's
recommendations.
Pravda Sees Lynching Bee
Moscow, Aug. 29 VP) A Prav
da headline said today: "Outrage
of American fascists; attempt to
lynch Paul Robeson." That was
the communist party newspa
per's sumup of the disorder near
Peekskill, N. Y.', that cancelled
a concert by the Negro singer
Saturday night.

Vets Applying
For Dividends
Washington, Aug. 29 (Pi This
is dividend application day for
16,000,000 veterans of World
War II.
Postoffices and veterans of
fices throughout the nation
and U. S. foreign service offices
throughout the world start
handing out dividend applica
tion forms to the ex-GI's today.
Actual dividend payments will
not start until next January.
The forms will signify the vet
eran's desire to share in the $2,-
800,000,000 dividend to be paid
next year on about 20,000,000
national service life insurance
policies.
The policies are those taken
out between Oct. 8, 1940, and
Jan. 1, 1948, and which were ef
fective for three months or long
er.
Beneficiaries of veteran-poli-
cyholders who have died also
will receive dividend checks
next year, but they should not
apply. Their payments are be
ing handled under a different
system.
In Salem veterans early in
the morning began getting their
application blanks from the of
fices where they were avail
able. The demand, how-ever,
was not as great by mid-morning
as had been anticipated and
the local Veterans Administra
tion office on South Commer
cial street estimated that there
might be calls by evening for
approximately 100 application
cards. v
The applications, a simplified
card form, were available not
only at the VA office but at
the local post office at both the
general delivery and stamD win
dow, at the Marion county vet
erans' service officers office.
the state department of veter
ans' affairs and from service of
ficers of the various veterans'
organizations.
Neuberger Wants
Referendum on CVA
Portland, Aug. 29 W) A spe
cial legislative session to set up
a Columbia valley administra
tion ballot referendum was sug
gested today by State Senator
Richard L. Neuberger.
The democratic legislator made
public a letter he had sent to
Governor McKay on the subject.
The CVA proposal is now be
fore congress and congressional
hearings are due later this year
in me region.
Sen. Neuberger pointed to Mc
Kay's statement that the people
in the territory to be affected
by CVA had a right to express
their approval or disapproval at
the polls.
The Multnomah county legis
lator suggested the governor call
a special legislative session to
put th CVA on the 1950 gen
eral election ballot. The ses
sion, limited to the CVA topic,
would be inexpensive, Neuber
ger said.

vented by a hormone sold in
powder form under several
trade names.

Boys Board Bus Capital Journal carriers are pictured here 1
just before climbing aboard Hamman Stage Lines bus for trip
to Portland Saturday night to see the Shrine all-star high
school football game and a two-hour visit to Jantzen beach.
The carriers earned the trip by each selling a prescribed
number of new Journal subscriptions in the last four weeks.

GAR Meeting
For Last Time
Indianapolis, Aug. 29 U.R Six
frail old veterans of the Civil
War sat in their wheel chairs to
day and spun yarns of Antietam
and Bull Run at the 83rd and
last-encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
The six men, all over 100,
were the only men in condition
to attend the GAR's last meet
ing. Only 16 GAR members sur
vive the mighty armies that Gen.
U. S. Grant led in the war be
tween the stales.
In the 1890's the Grand Army
numbered more than 400,000
men. It was the first of the
powerful veterans organizations
founded to maintain the welfare
of the men who fought for their
country and their survivors.
During its peak of power, the
GAR was influential in six presi
dential elections. Long parades
of "Boys in Blue," marked Me
morial day celebrations in every
town.
But every year since the turn
of the century, their ranks thin
ned and today only the six had
the strength to attend the meet
ing. The Grand Army was being
mustered out to eternity in the
same city where it was founded
83 years ago.

high school football game. They
capped the evening with a two-
hour visit to Jantzen Beach.
The carriers had earned the
trip by each selling seven new
subscriptions to the Capital Jour
nal in a period of four weeks.
From the time the Hamman
Bus Lines' chartered bus left
the Trailways depot at 6 p.m
until the same bus pulled into
Salem in the wee hours of the
next morning, the gang of kids
never let up in their funmaking.
If you're not well-versed In
such subjects as the location and
description of the best swimming
and fishing holes, the disposition
of certain Salem grade school
teachers, the merits of various
brands of squirt-guns and the
lives of western movie stars,
a ride to Portland with a bus
load of eager, talking boys will
soon bring you up to date on all
of them.
Watching the Portland-Upstate
all-star football game actually
tended to quiet the kids down
when the team you're rooting for
is losing 19-0, you just don't
have much to yell about.
After the game, the bus trans
ported the Capital Journal party
to Portland's million-dollar play
ground, Jantzen beach. There
courtesy of the Jantzen adminis
tration, each carrier was given
a book good for eight free rides.
They frolicked for two hours
throughout Jantzen's 40-acre
amusement area, which includes
24 thrill rides, five of them made
in Salem. They rode the world's
largest merry - go - round, once
owned by Charlie Chaplin movie
productions and containing 96
horses.
Chaperones Millard Hodges
and John Slanchik had as much
fun as the kids. Hodges is city
supervisor of the Journal, while
Slanchik, a Willamette univer
sity football star, is district man
ager.
Sweetheart of the trip was
blonde, 15-year-old Joann Fin
ney. who rode the wildest rides
at Jantzen beach and laughed
all the while. Most girls refuse
to even climb aboard the more
sensational rides, and those that
do get on scream all the way.
After the last candy-cotton
stand had closed for the night
and the roller-coaster had com
pleted its final run of the eve
ning, the Journal carriers board
ed the Hamman bus and started
back for Salem.
The youths were not quite as
energetic on the return trip as
they were riding toward Port
land several hours earlier, but
they still were having fun.
Boys will be boys.

To Let Nations
Build Own Arms
Washington, Aug. 29 P) Two
senate committees voted today
to let European members of the
Atlantic pact use part of Presi
dent Truman's proposed $1,450,-
000,000 arms aid fund to build
up their own arms production.
Senator Connally (D-T e x)
told reporters the combined for
eign relations and armed serv
ices committees voted 11 to 9 to
permit use of the money to buy
tools, equipment and raw ma
terials to produce weapons in
their own factories.
Connally said the vote came
on an amendment by Chairman
Tydings (D-Md) of the arms
services committee.
Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich)
had argued against the proposed
outlay of $155,000,000 to stimu
late arms production in the Eu
ropean countries.
Vandenberg contends such as
sistance should await the forma
tion of a defense council under
the Atlantic alliance and adop
tion by the council of an over
all defense plan.
The two committees still have
to act on an amendment by Van
denberg and Senator Dulles (R-
NY) to limit to $1,000,000,000
the total amount of money lor
arms aid to western Europe.
They propose a reduction of
$160,990,000 in the amount re
quested by President Truman
for this purpose.
McKay Cold to
Extra Session
Governor Douglas McKay in
dicated today he doesn't think
much of the idea of calling a
special legislative session to set
up a referendum on the pro
posed Columbia Valley author
ity. The governor said he hasn't
received the letter from State
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger,
Portland democrat, and CVA
advocate. Neuberger wants the
special session called.
Governor McKay didn't say
yes, and he didn't say no.
But he pointed out that a
special session of the legislature
would cost $75,000. And he said
the law provides for initiative
and referendum so the people
could get issues on the ballot
without special sessions of the
legislature.
The goverpor opposes the
CVA.
Canby Gymnasium
Construction Starts
Aurora Construction of a
new gymnasium addition to the
Canby grade school will be
started about September 1 un
der direction of John Koehler,
Canby builder.
Three walls for the building
already are up as they form a
portion of the new grade school
structure. Board members said
the new gymnasium probably
would be ready for use in mid
winter. Koehler was hired to
supervise construction after a
call for bids on the work was
spurned by contractors. A. L.
Beck, city school superinten
dent, said a total of $48,000
would be spent this year for ma
jor improvements in the school
district. A new 60-passenger
bus already has been acquired.

Mrs. Roosevelt
Tells About AYC
New York, Aug. 29 (P) Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt said to
day she knew for a long time
that the American Youth Con
gress followed the communist
line but. worked with it just the
same.
Her purpose in doing so, she
wrote in McCall's magazine, was
to change the organizations
course.
The former first lady said the
experience "was of infinite
value to me in understanding
some of the tactics I have had
to grapple with in the United
Nations."
Mrs. Roosevelt's article was
fourth installment of a new se
ries of memoirs.
Of the depression-born AYC,
she said:
"I had great sympathy for
these young people, even though
they annoyed me. In that criti
cal period, growing up was
much more difficult than it had
been at any previous time any of
us could remember. I have nev
er felt the slightest bitterness
toward any of them and, as a
matter of fact, I am extremely
grateful for my experience with
them.
"I learned what communist
tactics are. I know how infiltra
tion of an organization is accom
plished. I understand how com
munists get themselves into po
sitions of importance. I under
stand all their methods of ob
jection and delay, the effort to
tire out the rest of the group,
then carry the vote when all
their opponents have gone home.
These tactics are all familiar to
me. I know, too, that no defeat
is final.
"In fact, I think my work
with the American Youth Con
gress was of infinite value to me
in understanding some of the
tactics I have had to grapple
with in the United Nations. '
Extensive Training Carol

daughter of the late actor Wal
lace Beery, as she appeared
in a Los Angeles court to ob

The court directed that $500
a month be paid to Carol Ann
for her own personal use, since
the $500 ".pocket money" will
be good training for her, as
she is willed one-third of the
late actor's $2,075,858 estate.
