Asks About Culverts Don D.
Terpenning, who a few weeks
ago wrote the county court ask
ing that culverts near his place
on the Turner-Marion road be
enlarged as, he said, water backs
up on his land, has renewed his
request. In his original letter he
said if the outlets were not made
bigger he would be compelled
tn build a dvke on his rjlace to
protect it from backwater. Now
he says he wants to know what
will be done, if anything, as if
nothing is to be done he wants
to start building his dyke before
the rains set in. The situation
will be investigated.

for hearing petitions asking for
change in boundary line between

47 New Instructors Enter
Salem's School System
Forty-seven instructors, new to the system, will preside over
class rooms or hold principalships in the Salem schools when the
1948-49 term opens Monday, Sept. 12, according to a compilation
by Supt. Frank B. Bennett. The head of the schools, while pre
dicting that enrollment would be larger than a year ago would
not set a figure as to Just whats
it would be.
Part of his belief is based on
the fact that houses that were
empty last year have been oc
cupied. However, he points out
that he has no way of determin
ing whether the occupants are
new to the community or have
shifted their quarters.
Among the newcomers in the
professional line is Charles D.
Schmidt, who resigned the prin-
cipalship of Pendleton high to
take a similar position at Les
lie. Fifteen of the group are

Milk Truck Owners
Held Responsible
Attorney General George
Neuner ruled today that owners
and operators of milk trucks
should be held responsible un
der the new milk transportation
regulations . which become ef
fective next Thursday.
The new rules require en
closing of milk trucks and pro
tection of milk from dust and
sunlight.
Neuner ruled that the respon
sibility rests only with the truck
owner or operator, rather than
with the dairy or milk plant
which receives the milk.
In another opinion, Neuner
ruled that state police can serve
municipal court warrants upon
non-residents of the city In
which the warrant is issued.

Crash Ties-up
ic
An Oregon Electric railroad
diesel train rammed a logging
truck at the foot of the Marion
Polk bridge shortly before noon
Monday tossing seven logs across
the intersection.
The truck, driven by Beatty
Lay of Nyssa, was reported by
eyewitnesses to have eased out
in front of the diesel engine. The
train was headed north, while
the truck was coming off the
bridge at the Front and Center
street intersection.
Unable to stop the loaded
train despite a slow speed esti
mated at five miles an hour, the
diesel plowed into the truck.
The impact broke the rear
wheel hitch of the logging ve
hicle and spilled the logs over
the intersection. Traffic was par
tially blocked until nearly 1
p.m. when the wreckage and
logs were dragged from the in
tersection. The driver of the truck appar
ently was endeavoring to make
a right turn off the bridge in
advance of the train to take his
load to the log dump.
The wrecked truck is owned
by a brother of the driver, Rich
ard Lay of Willamina.

17,000 Lb. Elephant
Stranded by Crash
Portland, Aug. 29 CP) A traf
fic accident left a 17,000-pound
elephant stranded on a street
corner here today.
The pachyderm, Babe, was en
route to Longview, Wash., as a
part of a carnival, when her
truck collided with an automo
bile.
There was no serious damage,
but police refused to let the
truck go on because of faulty
brakes. Babe got nervous and
began shifting around. So she
was brought out and tied to the
back of the truck.
Nearly 12 hours after the ac
cident, Babe was still standing
there patiently to the surprise
of passing motorists.
The truck driver, Ernest A.
Susanj, 22, Tacoma, said he
would have to wait until an of
ficial of the Imperial Exposition
show comes along with (1)
money to fix the brakes or (2)
another truck. The show was
en route from McMinnville
when Babe was left stranded.
Legion Chief
(Continued from Page l)
Brown denied charges made
by Past National Commander
Frank N. Belgrano, Jr., Port
land, Ore., that the Legion is in
fluenced by "king-makers and
politicians and is bankrupt
Belgrano Defiant
Belgrano stuck to his accusa
tions. He said further that pres
ent Legion leadership "discri
minates against the veteran of
World War II."
Brown told the committee the
Legion's finances were in a
"precarious condition and urg
ed convention passage of a dues
increase.
Meantime, some 4000 mem
bers of the 40 and 8 the Le
gion's fun and honor group
are holding their own conven
tion. They show off in parade
fashion at their annual "pro
menade nationale" tonight.
Eliminations continue in the
junior and senior band, bugle,
fife and drum, color guard and
drill contests. Final judging will
be made tonight so winners can
take places of honor In tomor
row's 13-hour parade.
Right now hilarity reigns.
Thousands of Legionnaires are
keeping the fun and pranks go
ing 24 hours a day. Firecrackers
pop off constantly. Whistle-toot
ing, bell-clanging 40 and 8 box
cars zig-zag along downtown
streets dodging in and out of
traffic.
"In the same way, nations
have different business practices
and different governmental de
vices for achieving the same
economic ends."
Admits Misunderstandings
As for this country's inter
national economic policy, Mr.
Truman commented that there
is considerable "misunderstand
ing and misinformation, some of
it due to the complexity of the
problems involved. But, he ad
ded acidly:
"Some of this is deliberately
stirred up by certain newspapers
and politicians for political reasons."
The president spoke before
the national convention of the
American Legion, which earlier
had presented him a medal for
"outstanding service to the na
tion." The keynote of his address
was that "world prosperity is
necessary to world peace."
To Avert World Chaos
Because of that, he said, and
because ' world prosperity i
necessary to our own prosperity
in the United States," American
leaders resolved before the end
of World War II that "the in
ternational chaos which led to
war should not occur again."
"Shortly after the war end
ed," he said, "it became apparent
that the economic life of the
world was more badly disrupted
than anyone had expected.
Still further difficulties were
created when it became clear
that the Soviet Union would not
join In working for world eco
nomic recovery."
One of the main problems
now, Mr. Truman said, is that
foreign countries need more
things from the United States
than they can pay for. "As a re
sult, world trade is now ser
iously out of balance."
