8 to 1 Ratio
Births, Deaths
A ratio of 8 to 1 in the matter
of births and deaths was record
ed in Marion county during Aug
ust, the monthly statistical re
port of the county health depart
ment reveals. Births for the
period were 240 as eompared
with 33 deaths.
Births for the first eight
months of the year totalled 1606,
an increase of 52 over a similar
period for 1948. The 515 deaths
during the eight months were 20
less than a year ago.
There has been a sharp in
crease in the number of polio
eases tnis year over 1948 ,hc re
port indicates. Only two were
reported for the eight months of
1948 as compared with nine so
far this year.
Deaths during August were
on a ratio of 2 to 1 male and fe
male. Heart disease accounted
for 10 deaths, cancer five and
apoplexy two. There was one
death as the result of automo
bile accidents, bringing the total
for the year up to 5, a decrease
of eight over 1948.

Circus Delights
Crowd of 9,500
A crowd of 9.500 persons was
thrilled and amused by the huge
Ringling Brothers and Barnum
and Bailev circus at the Fair-
I grounds Thursday night as every
act drew enthusiastic rounds of
applause. The afternoon show
had attracted about 4,000 spec
tators. The tremendous spectacle of
performing man and beast, and
the dazzling costumes and floats
gave the circus a splash of color
and sensationalism that will not
soon be forgotten locally.
Daring aerial acts, balancing
feats that were almost unbeliev
able, flawless animal performan
ces and the continual antics of
100 clowns kept activity hum
ming without a break for a solid
2 V, hours.
Perhaps the most unique of
all the sensational acts was
staged by "Unus," master of bal
ance. Unus. without the aid of
any support of any kind, stood
on his forefinger atop a glass
ball for a full minute in the
feature stunt of his performance.
Other acts were equally sen
sational in their own right. The
huge crowd was so awed by some
of the aerial stunts that com
plete silence filled the tent for
several minutes at a time while
the performers were doing their
acts high in the "big top." As
each aerial act safely completed
its routine, a thunder of applause
broke loose.
Children were amused by
animated Mother Goose charac
ters In the spectacular "Birth
days" parade, and also stood on
their toes to watch the numer
ous animal acts, which included
a bear riding a motorcycle.
The circus performers re
mained in Salem overnight,
leaving at 7 a.m. for Eugene
where the circus shows today.

Interim Group
(Continued from Page 1)
Harvey said said that he esti
mated that the new tax laws
would bring the highway fund
approximately $10,500,000 an
nually instead of an estimated
$9,000,000 and Healy estimated
that the bulk of the increased
revenues would come from the
one cent additional gas tax.
Healy could not give any ape
cific figures as reports on the
first three months consumption
of gasoline by motor vehicles
will not be filed In the secre
tary of state's office until later
this month.
The committee heard repre
sentatives of numerous truck
lines during the afternoon ses
sion. Coal Strike
(Continued from Pare 1)
Lewis met with the northern
and western operators at White
Sulphur Springs yesterday for
three hours and did these two
major things:
1 Questioned the owners
about the next payments, but did
not get a firm commitment from
the operators about whether
they would pay up or refuse
as some of those in the south
already have done.
2 Notified the operators he
wants a 7-hour work day with
out loss of pay in place of the
present 8-hour day. The miners
now get a base rate of $14.05 for
6'i hours of production. Anoth
er hour and a half is allowed
for underground travel and
meals.
The latter demand would am
ount to the equivalent of a wage
boost of approximately $1.75 a
day.
The White Sulpher Springs
meeting was recessed until
Sept. 21, the day after the north
ern and western payments are
dhe.
To Represent Stale Mrs. Ag
nes C. Booth, county superinten
dent, plans to leave in early Oc
tober to attend tne national as
sociation meeting of county sup
erintendents as a representative
of Oregon and will advance an
invitation to get the association
to meet on the west coast in
1950. She also will appear on the
program as a representative of
Marion county In discussion per
iods. The meeting will be held

ikon Trial
(Continued from Pase 1)
(The Yugoslav government
charged last night that the trial
was a trumped up device of the
Soviet Union for an "unbridled
witchhunt" against Yugoslavia,
and that it was based on lies
and forgeries.)
The Americans named by
Rajk were Lt. Col. George Ko
vach. formerly stationed in Bu
dapest, and a man named Martin
Himmler. Rajk said both in
structed him about spying 'and
plotting against the government.
The state contends the defend
ants had marked Deputy Pre
mier Matyas Rakosi, Hungary's
communist boss, for assassina
tion.
The 40-year-old former for
eign minister said he also had
been in touch with Selden Chap-
in, the former U.S. minister to
Hungary. He said he placed in
important government posts per
sons who are charged by the
government with spying for the
Americans, the British, the
French and the Yugoslavs.
Rajk was the first of eight de
fendants to enter a plea. His
plea came within 90 minutes of
the time the trial opened in the
headquarters of the Hungarian
Metal Workers union.
Kovach Says It's Nonsense
New York, Sept. 16 UP) Col.
George Kovach said today it's
strictly nonsense that he ever
made or tried to make Laszlo
Rajk an anti-communist agent.
"I never even met Rajk," Ko
vach said, "he was not a govern
ment minister when I was in Bu
dapest and, while I saw him at
various parties, I had no desire
to meet him.
"It is just one of those nicely
built-up communist stories."
Kovachs, now general mana
ger of the Great Northern hotel.
was chief of the Hungarian sec
tion of the U.S. military mission
in Budapest from Feb, 18, 1945,
to Dec. 5, 1946.
Joint Meeting
luontlnuetl from Fare 1)
"A strike can be averted It
your corporation will agree with
the union and public opinion to
accept the recommendations of
the steel industry board as a
basis for negotiating a prompt
settlement of the existing labor
dispute."
Policy Board Called
Murray ordered the big
union's wage policy committee
to meet here Wednesday.
There was no amplification of
the announcement. Union offi
cials declined to discuss the or
der. Murray's action comes with a
resumption of contract negotia
tions between union and some
57 steel companies blocked by a
difference of opinion over
whether workers should help
companies pay for social Insur
ance and pension programs.
Both sides now are working
during an 11-day strike dead
line extension which expires at
midnight, September 24.
Reply from J. & L.
The first reply to Murray's
telegram to steel companies to
day came from the Jones and
Laughlin Steel corporation,
which said:
"Jones and Laughlin believes
that genuine good faith collec
tive bargaining requires that
each party approach the bar
gaining table without exacting
prior commitments from the
other party as a condition prece
dent to sitting down to bargain."
