Elevation of S. P. Tracks
On 12th Street Suggested
A new plan for the routing of Southern Pacific lines through
Salem was heard by the city's long range planning commission
Tuesday night. The suggestion, made by Engineer C. A. McClure,
calls for elevation of the track along 12th street to a level even
with the track on the highway B9E overpass In jvortn baiem.
Estimated cost of the project,
which would Include the con
struction of underpasses at each
of 11 major streets along the
route, is $8,000,000.
McClure points out that the
project could be built in sec
tions. As an example, he said
that to build such a construction
from Center to Mission street
would cost about $2,700,000.
In estimating costs, McClure
allowed for a double track Tun
ing along the top of the eleva
tion, and for four-lane underpasses.
After the report Is complete
in detail, McClure will submit
it to the transportation committee.
The commission also heard a
letter from Gardner Knapp, sug
gesting that should the state
fair grounds be moved to a more
spacious location outside the city
limits, the present fairgrounds

Elliott Claims Two Demo
Senators Wanted $60,000
Portland, Sept. 14 W) Two Oregon state senators unnamed
tried to use the Multnomah county sheriff's office as a demo
cratic party fund-raising organization, Sheriff Mike Elliott charged
today.
His refusal to go along started the movement to cancel his bond,
4V,o sheriff gflirt.
Elliott, under attack from a
recall move and from bond can
cellation recommended by State
Treasurer Walter Pearson, made
his statement which started: "As
two Portland newspapers, the
Orneonian and the Journal.
The newspapers carried in full
his tatement which started: "As
I promised a few days ago to
blast certain of my political op
ponents, I herewith present the
following material to both Port
land daily newspapers for pub
lication."
Elliott said the two unnamed
state senators told him the dem
ocratic party was to raise a
$200,000 campaign fund to back
W-lter Pearson for governor in
")!)0, and his office was down
for a $60,000 quota.
"I refused and from this re
fu al stemmed the bond cancel
lation trouble that was to send
me flying east to attempt to
save my job."
"Hie sheriff said he then was
told someone else would get his
Job.
He added, "In fairness to Mr.
Pearson ... I wish to make
clear that I have no personal
knowledge that the two senators
came to me with authority from
Mr. Pearson. I do know what
they said, and that later Mr.
Pearson asked for cancellation
of my bond."
Other developments In the
troubled life of Sheriff Elliott:
The Portland Methodist Min
isters association yesterday ap
proved a resolution which said
the association "opposes the re
tention of any public official
whose lack of Integrity has been
demonstrated." It directed that
a committee call on the county
commissioners "to learn what
assurance we may have that
present conditions In the sher
iff's office will not be repeat
ed." On the other side of the pic
ture, Elliott released a letter
from the Rev. T. T. Hicks, re
tired Episcopal minister, which
assailed the "diabolical move
ment to recall you. . . . You,
sheriff, have the sympathy and
good will of more people than
you perhaps think."
The recall committee, headed
by Adm. Thomas L. Gatch, re
tired, expected to have enough
signatures on its petitions this
week.

Pickets Halt Construction
On Independence Bridges
Pickets at the Valley Concrete company plant at Independence
has caused a halt In operations on the Marion-Polk county bridge
at Independence and the Ash Creek bridge between Independence
and Monmouth.
Sand and gravel for both jobs had been furnished by the picket
ed concern, according to the-
bridge construction division of
the state highway department.
Work has also been slowed on
the new Dallas grade school and
reservoir with contractors haul

representatives of union labor
and Arthur Wood, plant mana
ger, had failed to reach an agree
ment, according to F. D. Van

BRA, SLIP AS PART OF DRESS
Built-in Underwear
New Fashion Trick
By GAIL YARBROUGH
Hollywood.Sept. 12 VP) Dresses with built-in underwear are
Marusia's latest enthusiams.
"When bra and slip are part of the dress," says the Polish de
signer, "there is no problem of finding appropriate underclothing
to match the gown."
These are chiefly cocktail or
dinner frocks, intended for dry-
cleaning.
Marusia, who clothes such
screen attractions as Paulette
Goddard, Roz Russell, Dinah
Shore, Mrs. Ray Milland and
Joan Fontaine, has just return

France.
"Prices are much too high in
Paris," she reported. "Wives of
many designers can't afford the
creations of their husbands.
Americans buy them."
Designs, too, are much too ex
treme, in Marusia's opinion.

The succession of improvements rival the
original invention in importance, for they are

knowledge if incalculable, but it Is undeniable
that by such means the dark frontier of ignor
