Neuberger Talks
CVA to Rotary
Richard L. Neuberger, state
senator from Multnomah coun
ty, asked members of the Salem
Rotary club to study the propos
ed Columbia Valley Authority
on its merits and not from a po
litical viewpoint during a Wed
nesday noon luncheon address.
Neuberger said he deplored
the fact that CVA had been
made a political issue in the
northwest and then discussed
the measure in general man
ner. Few details of the pro
posal were touched upon.
The speaker stressed the im
portance of one single unit hav
ing control over the existing
agencies. He said that virtually
every forward step In the coun
try since Thomas Jefferson took
a stand for public highways over
toll roads had been fought by
those who injected
"scare
words" into the issue.

Chicago Papers Again

the news sections of the Sun
Times and Tribune editions this
morning.
Since the end of their strike
Sunday, many of the 1,300 AFL
printers employed by the five
Chicago newspapers have been
called back to work as compos

Impossible to
Pave Elma Avenue
County Commissioner Rov
Rice announced Wednesday that
it will be impossible for the
county to pave Elma avenue
into the new city school in
Childs addition this summer be
cause of the lack of necessary
base to handle the big buses and
other traffic which will go over
the road.
He said that, however, the
county will have the road proc
essed during the winter with a
sufficient base so that it may
be paved next summer.
Rice also said that the countv
oiling crew Tuesday completed
work of paving at the airport,
not only on the 25th street ex
tension on the west side but
also rejuvenated the pavement
from the main airport road into
the United Air Line offices. The
latter job while being done by
ine county is at city expense,
while the expense is shared on
the 25th street extension be
tween the county and Salem.

Dog Killing
Brings Protest
H. C. Babcock, Turner, has
directed a letter to the Marion
county court demanding dis
charge of Ervin Ward as dog
license enforcement officer. The
court has passed the letter on
to the county dog control board
which hires the enforcement of
ficer. Babcock says that on Septem
ber 2 the enforcement officer
appeared at his place and told
him his dog had been killing
sheep and would have to be
killed itself and if Babcock
didn't kill it the enforcement of
ficer would.
Babcock said he had no
knowledge of his dog having
killed sheep, but consented to
it's being killed. He says the
enforcement officer took the dog
about 50 feet to the back end
of his lot and shot it three times
and would have shot again' if
he hadn't stopped him.
The dog, said Babcock, was a
pet of his two little girls who
were crying and asked not to
shoot their dog. He also said
that his wife was seriously ill
in the house and the incident
required attendance of her phy
sician. Dog Control Officer Ward,
when asked of the incident, said
he did kill the dog, that it had
been killing sheep, and that its
owner was harboring an unli
censed dog.
He said that Babcock himself
was asked as to where he want
ed the dog taken to be killed
and that he led Ward along
with the dog to the spot where
the killing was done and that
it was a long distance back away
from the house.
During the winter months 95
percent of the migatory birds

exhibit at the state fair than has

Changes in Spud
Marketing Order
Washington, Sept. 21 in
The agriculture department ;
commended today some changes
in a federal marketing order re
gulating handling of Irish po
tatoes grown in Oregon and
California.
Adoption of the amendments
is subject to approval of the
growers. They would permit a
committee of growers and hand
lers to recommend regulation of
shipments by grade, size, quality
and maturity of varieties.
The committee also could re
commend that special considera-
tion be given to shipments for
purposes such as export or manu
facturing outlets, livestock feed
or relief distribution.
The amendments also call for
addition of Jefferson and Lake
counties, Oregon, and Modoc
and Siskiyou counties, Califor
nia, to the area covered.
Studies show that migatory
birds confine themselves to cer
tain geographical regions,
known as "flyways".

Transient Held
OnCheckCharge
A tip on a bogus check artist
given to police headquarters
Wednesday morning led to the
arrest of a transient who told
detectives a story which will
take several days to fathom.
The traveler identified him
self as Roy Clifford Bruaas, but
he carried no identification. Af
ter the tip, a detective trailed
his suspect to two separate
stores when he endeavored to
cash a check.
When the officer took him
into custody, he found the check
tucked in the bib pocket of Bru
aas' overalls. The check used
local names which Bruaas claim
ed he selected from a telephone
directory.
The tale the transient told
detectives began in August in
Sioux Falls, S.D., where he
claimed it was released while
serving time on a bad check
charge. Bruaas said he discov
ered that prison authorities
there had released him instead
of another prisoner who was
rightfully slated for freedom.
Knowing that, he headed
west. In Montana, where he
was unable to find work, Bruaas
told officers he purchased a
quart of wine to fortify his
nerves. Then, he said he sharp-
ened ms razor and cut his
wrists.
His bandaged arms were proof
of that part of his story, but
the pudgy little man declined
to comment on how he had sur
vived the cutting. He merely
said he had bandaged the slashes
himself.
After that episode, he head
ed for Portland, but left there
Tuesday.
He was up bright and early
Wednesday morning to go to
work with his pen on the blank
checks he secured from a serv
ice station. Police expect it
will take several days to check
his record.
Bruaas was held for court ac
tion on a charge of attempting
to obtain money under false
pretenses with bail set at $1,000.

Zoning Board
The county court by unani
mous vote Wednesday passea
back to the Salem city zoning
and planning commission a pro
posed plat for Forkner's acres,
north of the city with the com
ment that the zoning commis
sion was asking the court to vi
olate the zoning commission's
own order to the court and as
County Judge Murphy said "a
positive reversal of the standard
heretofore set up by the zoning
commission."
The question came up when
the plat submitted showed that
Park Lane is laid out as only a
30-foot street, the subdivision
being situated at Park Lane and
the Pacific highway. The zoning
commission heretofore has es
tablished a standard of approv
ing only 60-foot streets within a
six-mile radius of the city.
Hedda Swart, county survey
or and chairman of the zoning
commission, in submitting the
plat to the court, said the com
mission at a meeting Tuesday
night had allowed the plat and
directed it to go through with
the restriction that houses be set
back so that at any time neces
sary a 60-foot road could be in
stalled. Swart said he was op
posed to the plat personally but
as chairman of the commission
could not vote. He said that
Forkner, who also is a member
of the zoning commission, did
not vote on the question himself
and left it up to the rest of the
commission.
County Commissioner Rice in
moving that the plat be sent
back to the zoning commission
said that the restrictions put on
the width of the road by that
commission were ineffective un
less successive land owners in
cluded them in the deeds they
draw up. He said he had been
advised that such a restriction
