MOTHER DENIES STORY
Orval Hager, Jr.,
Quits GOP Post
Orval O. Hager, Jr., chairman
of the Marion county republican
central committee, has resigned
the position because of his mov
ing to Portland where he is asso
ciated with a law firm. Hager
has been chairman of the cen
tral committee since last Janu
A ary when the organizational
meeting was held following the
November election.
The central committee plans
to call a meeting in the near fu
ture at which time a new chair
man will be selected as well as
a congressional committeeman
named to fill the vacancy
brought on with the death of
George Manolis. Also, several
precinct committee posts will be
filled, including those held by
Hager and Manolis.
It is reported Harry V. Col
lins, at present the alternate or
co-chairman for the central com
mittee, may move up to take the
chairmanship, in which event
there would be election also to
fill the post of vice-chairman.
Several local republicans are
planning to be in Bend on Sep
tember 24 to attend a policy
meeting for GOP workers in the
district.

Delineated In the Heavy White Lines is the Breitenbush fire
district. The proposed city of Detroit, incorporation of which
is to be voted on October 13, is that portion of the fire district
which lies in Marion county or north of the Santiam river.
The balance of the fire district lying in Linn county to the
south is not included in the project. A population variously
estimated in figures up to 1000 or more is included in the
area. Part of the western end will be inundated eventually
by water from the Detroit dam, including a major portion
of the present city of Detroit. But the remainder of about
six miles extending from the Detroit schoolhouse to Macy
creek will form a narrow city, hailed by its proponents as
"the longest little city in the world." Petitions seeking the
incorporation were signed by 100 residents who are legal
voters. In the entire precinct at the last election 391 votes
were cast and the area to be included in the city is but a small
part of the precinct, so advocates of the plan think they have
a majority in favor of the proposal.
Minnesota Girl Reported
To Wed Japanese Pen Pal
Tokyo, Sept. 14 U A 23-year-old American girl is coming
to Japan next January to marry a Japanese she has corresponded
with for a year, the newspaper Mainichi said today.
The newspaper said the girl is Miss Dorothy A. Christensen,
of St Paul, Minn., who is studying Oriental political science at
Minnesota university. '
Her "pen pal" is Shige Suga
numa, a Kyushu university
graduate who works for occu
pation forces at Fukuoka.
According to Mainichi, Suga
numa began corresponding with
Miss Christensen after a mis
sionary gave him her name.
Reds Send Trouble Shooters
To U. S. to Reorganize Party
Washington, Sept. 14 VP) A self-styled charter member of the
U. S. communist party says that Russia has sent a secret "trouble
shooting unit" to this country. He explained communists think
the party is in danger of being driven underground.
Maurice Malkin, the author of this statement, was a witness
before a senate judiciary sub
committee. He said the three
men from Moscow attended a
meeting of top layer American
communists a few weeks ago in
a farmhouse at Beacon, N. Y.
He said they gave party line
orders and have power to reor
ganize the party in this country,
if necessary, in an effort to save
it from being outlawed by con
gress. Malkin described himself as
a Russian-born macninist oi
Brooklyn, N. Y. He said he
helped organize the communist
party in this country in 1919,
changed his mind about it in
Sing Sing prison for activities
in a furriers' strike, and left
the party in 1937.
During the last year, he add
ed, he has been employed off
and on by the immigration and
naturalization service as an ex
pert witness in deportation hear
ings.
Recently Malkin testified at
a closed meeting of the sub
committee studying legislation
to keep subversive aliens out
of the United States. Thirty-eight
closely typed pages of his test!
mony were made public by the
subcommittee last night. I
Malkin said of the alleged par
ty huddle at Beacon:
"One of the party members
present gave me the informa
tion as to what was going on at
the meeting. Present at that
meeting was the whole group of
the top leadership of the com
munist party. The information
that I received was that there
were three strangers there . .
"In my opinion, this commis
sion was sent here because the
party in the United States finds
itself in danger of being liqui
dated; that is, of going underground."
The witness testified that the
number of card-carrying com
munist party members in the
United States Is 73,000 to 100,
000, but that about 4,000,000
people in this country are "un
der the communist discipline."
By that, he said he meant they
are members of organizations
controlled by the communist
party.
St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 14 U.
Mrs. A. O. Christensen, mother
of Miss Dorothy A. Christensen,
said today she did not believe
there was anything to a report
that her daughter planned to
marry a Japanese pen pal.
Miss Christensen, reached by
telephone at a western Minne
sota resort where she is vaca
tioning, refused comment on the
report.
'I can t say anything about it
now, she said.

City Manager
Facing Ouster
Albany, Sept. 14 Reports
were current Tuesday that peti
tions demanding that the city
council oust City Manager J. D.
Baughman will be presented to
the city council at its regular
meeting in the city hall Wednesday.
While the petitions have no
legal significance and would not
be binding upon the council,
they are designed, circulators
were quoted as stating, as an
expression of dissatisfaction with
the present city manager's ad
ministration, and they charged
that he has so disrupted the
functioning of department heads
that they cannot operate effectively.
The petitions were being cir
culated by Martin Holmes, for
mer city police officer, signers
said, and by others, whose iden
tities could not be ascertained
late Tuesday.
The movement against Baugh
man followed the discharge of
Holmes from the police force,
effective September 1, after he
had been charged by the city
manager with incompetency.

man's little finger could hold as
many as 1,000,000 oysters when
they're a day old.
160 Answer Call
For Blood Donors
From a list of 160 persons
signed to give blood only 115
showed up for the mobile unit
of the Portland regional blood
center when it visited Salem,
Tuesday, meaning that 43 per
sons failed to keep their appoint
ments.
As result, only 88 pints of
blood were obtained during the
operation of the unit here.
Out of the 115 who came, 30
were persons who volunteered
to give blood as replacements
for blood that had been supplied
to members of their families or
friends during recent emergen
cies.
"This gesture to provide blood
in replacement for that given
their families was most gratify
ing and reveals that the blood
program is firmly established in
the community as a service pro
gram, said Milton L. Meyers,
county mood program chair
man.
On September 28 the mobile
unit will be in Silverton and
will come next to Salem on Oc
tober 11.

Distance isn't the only thing
which passes swiftly when you sit at
the wheel of e 1949 Cadillac. So
does time!
You rest your hand on the beautiful
steering wheel and press your toe
ever so lightly against the obedient
throttle . . . and you're off on a
wonderful journey.
Your ride is free and easy and rest
ful. You just lit and relax and
enjoy the scenery and the com
panionship of those about you. Con
versation is as easy as if you were
sitting in your own drawing room
for the car is so quiet you can hear
the soft ticking of the electric clock.
The labor of driving is almost non
existent. The big powerful motor
moves you in and out of traffic as if
by automatic propulsion. Steering
is little more than a response to your
wish. Brakes are light to the touch
and velvety-smooth in action.
You are as relaxed and care-free as
the happy passengers around you.
For you do little more than the
thinking and the car does the rest.
And then a familiar landmark looms
in the distance. Can it be that you
are there?
You look at the clock and you look
at the speedometer and, surely
enough, the time and the distance
have passed, and your journey is over.
Better come in and see for yourself
that when you lit at the wheel of
a Cadillac lixty minulet teem but
