Confidence in
Air Board Voted
The Sportsmen Pilots associ
ation in Portland this week gave
a vote of confidence to the stale
board of aeronautics which re
cently was the target of criti
cism from the Oregon Flying
Farmers and the Aerial Dusters.
The charges originally were
made by Claude F. Williams,
president of the Flying Farmers,
that the board was wasteful,
torn with internal dissention,
employed poor-grade employes
and mishandled certain funds.
The Sportsmen's committee
of the Sportsmen Pilots said
the allegations made by the Fly
ing Farmers were "ambiguous
and based upon misconceptions,
misrepresentations and distor
tions of the facts as they ac
tually exist."
The Soptrsmens' committee
said in its report that difficul
ties and lack of accomplish
ments of the board are "not nec-
essarilly due to improper activ
ities but rather to legislation
creating and designating its re
sponsibilities and activities."

raw material out of the North

This was stirring the com
pany to new drilling activity in
northern Saskatchewan and it
expected new shafts will be
completed by mid 19.ri0.

Elliott Names
Election Aides
Portland, Sept. 17 WV-Sheriff
M. L. Elliott, target of a re
call petition, was out building
his fences today both kinds.
The sheriff leaned over a
partly-finished fence around his
back yard and disclosed that he
has named a committee to head
a campaign to stay in office.
Richard Brown, a personal
friend of the sheriff and owner
of a car-for-hire business, will
manage the campaign. Dale
Liberty was named treasurer.
"I'm not quitting," said El
liott. "They can have the elec
tion as soon as they get the sig
natures." He predicted that the election
would be tougher than getting
signatures.
"Some of those people who
signed petitions won't bother to
go to the polls," he said. "It
is one thing to have a petition
brought to you to sign an
other to vike the effort to go to
the polls.''
The recall group says it has
nearly enough signatures now.

Bradley Back
From Alaska
Washington, Sept. 17 (Pi The
joint chiefs of staff returned
yesterday from a nine-day in
spection tour of Alaskan mili
tary facilities.
They had no comment on
their findings. The group was
headed by Gen. Omar Bradley,
who recently was elevated to
chairmanship of the defense
chiefs.
While they maintained si
lence, Senator Tydings (D-Md.)
spoke up on the problem of far
northern defenses. As chairman
of the senate armed services
committee, he issued a state
ment that troops have been
withdrawn from Alaska "from
time to time" because of lack
of suitable cold weather hous
ing. 'Since Alaska is one of ouri
most important outposts," he as
serted, "this situation is deplor
able." He expressed hope for early
senate action on a military pub
lic works bill to relieve the situ
ation. He said members of the arm
ed forces in Alaska are living
under "appalling conditions."
Part of it was due, he said, to the
haste with which shelters had to
be erected during the war.
Senator Magnuson (D-Wash.)
also pledged his aid in trying to
get senate approval of the pub
lic works bill.

On A. B. Control
Lake Success, Sept. 17 (P)
The security council yesterday
refused to direct the United Na

to resume its efforts to set up an
atomic control system.
Instead the council decided to
send on to the 59-nation general j
assembly without comment the
commission's conclusions that it
would be useless to go ahead
with atomic discussions in view!
of the east-west deadlock.
The test came when Russia
proposed formally that the
council direct the atomic com
mission to go ahead with the
talks regardless of its current
difficulties.

Slot Machines
Not Evidence
Silverton, Sept. 17 Slot
machines to be used as evidence
in a gambling case involved of
ficers of the Salem Eagles lodge
were ordered suppressed as evi
dence In Silverton justice court
Saturday on a legal technicality,
At a preliminary hearing be
fore the case is brought to trial,
Judge Alt O. Nelson sustained a
defense motion to suppress the
slot machines as evidence in the
case which charges the lodge of
ficers with possession of slot ma
chines. His ruling was based on
the contention that the search
warrant used by District Attor
ney E. O. Stadter In the raid on
the hall several months ago was
void.
Stadter had obtained the war
rant on a sworn statement "to
the best of his knowledge and
belief" that information con
cerning gambling at the Eagles
hall on North High street was
being conducted.
Judge Nelson held that affi
davits must be obtained on ac
tual, personal knowlodge and
not on reports and information
secured from other persons.
Seized in the raid which was
conducted by Stadter along with
Sheriff Denver Young and Sa
lem Police Chief Clyde A. War
ren were more than a dozen slot
machines, dice, bingo cards and
other equipment which at that
time were alleged to be gamb
ling devices.
All of the equipment with the
exception of the slot machines
were ordered returned to the
lodge by Judge Nelson.
The court gave attorneys for
the lodge officers ten days to file
information on the slot machines.
The point of law involved Is
whether slot machines can be
seized under an Illegal warrant,
held and destroyed as gambling
devices, or whether they must be
restored to the lodge.
Judge Nelson gave the district
attorney ten additional days time
to file a rebuttal.
The case was taken to Silver
ton justice court in view of the
fact the warrant was obtained
through that court when the Sa
tlem district judge, Joseph Fel
ton was on vacation.

Over 5 Millions
In Russ Army
Washington, Sept. 17 MP)
Two senate committees reported
today that Russia has more than
5,000,000 men. under arms and
is stepping up her military
might.
This estimate of the Soviet
military strength was given by
the senate foreign relations and
armed services committees in a
formal report on the adminis
tration's proposed $1,314,000,000
foreign arms aid bill.
The report accused the Soviet
Union of carrying out "apparent
ly a deliberate" policy of in
creasing its military strength.
Russia increased her military
budget for 1949 over 1948 by 19
percent and her ground forces
"are estimated to be in better
condition than at any time since
the war," the report said.
The senators said the Soviet
force in Germany has been
boosted from 70,000 to 100,000
men with "increased security
measures along its borders (of
Russia) and the borders of its
satellites."
The senate will open debate
next week on the foreign arms
bill. Chairman Connally (D.,
Tex.), will direct the fight for
the bill to rearm friendly na
tions and strengthen them
agains tcommunis.

Used Strip Tease
To Trap Peeper (
Detroit, Sept. 17 Wl A shape
ly housewife told police today
she threw modesty and her
clothes to the winds to help
trap a peeping Tom.
Mrs. Margaret Joffa, 34, said
she put on i strip tease when
she suspected someone was peek
ing through the window.
While the peeper stood goggle
eyed, police sneaked up behind
and grabbed him.
"I'm used to being a diplomat.
I try to do the unexpected. That
throws people off," said Mrs.
Joffa, a former cigarette girl.
"Most people would have
screamed. But I thought I'd con
firm my suspicions. So I pulled
off my slip and stood naked as
the day I was born."
Then, the comely brunette re
lated, she sauntered into an ad-
joining room and told her hus
band to call police. With that
she strolled back and held the
peeper's attention until police
arrived.
They identified the peeper as
Carl Hughes, 41. He was con
victed by Recorder's Judge Paul
E. Krause and scheduled for sen
tencing Sept. 30.
