ment Is a construction crew
operating out of the regional
CAA office.
The "H" facility, which has
been demanded by United Air
Lines pilots for McNary field
if they are to land with a ceiling
of less than 3,500 feet, when at a
later date, an instrument land
ing system is installed can be
used as part of the system. At
that time the markers, now step
ped up, will have their voltage
reduced
Used as a homing station for
pilots, the "H" landing facility
is a marginal weather aide and
consists of a middle and an outer
marker, lined up with the north
west-southeast runway, and a
standby engine generator. This,
at present, will be used by the
control tower in case there is
a power failure.
The inner marker will be one
that was already on the field
and is now being moved to a
distance some 4400 feet from
the southeast end of the runway
to allow for the 1000 foot exten
sion of that runway, as recom
mended previously by the CAA.
That marker when re-located
will be approximately 3000 feet
from the proposed highway that
would cut off from Lancaster
drive and run to the southeast
of the airport, according to Air
port Manager Charles Barclay,
who, recently conferred with the
state highway department on
the location of that highway.
The outer marker, also to the
southeast of the airport and In
direct line with the runway, is
to be near the edge of the town
of Turner.
Use of these two markers In
bad weather will enable the pi
lot of a plane to line his plane
up with the runway, with his
instruments Indicating when he
is over the markers and in a
direct line. A light also flashes
on his instrument panel.
Housing the markers will be
two pre fabricated buildings of
the knock-down type, which with
the transmitters, wire and othe
equipment arrived in Salem by
truck from Oklahoma City, the
main depot for CAA in the Unit
ed States.
Additional equipment that
would be needed at McNary
field to complete the instrument
landing system, which probably
will not be Installed for a year
or more at least, according to
information received previously
by the state board of aeronau
tics from the CAA are a glide
path unit and a localizer.
The glide path unit provides
vertical guidance for the pilot
In landing. The localizer, a high
frequency radio unit that would
be placed at the northwest end
of the runway, gives the pilot the
course along the center line of
the runway, lining him up with
the runway as he comes in for
a landing.
Reception Arranged
For Gates Teachers
Gates A reception for the
teachers of the local schools was
sponsored by members of the
Gates Woman's club with
large group of parents and
friends in attendance. Follow
ing an address of welcome by
Mrs. Elmer Stewart, president
of the club, the teachers were
Introduced by the principal

sponded with a short talk. The
evening was spent informally
and refreshments were served

Apple and Pear
Prices Upped
Washington, Sept. 29 () The
government announced today it
will take action to bolster sag
ging producer prices of apples
and winter pears.
The agriculture department
will buy apples for the national
school lunch program. It also
will set up an export subsidy
program designed to encourage
foreign buying of apples and
winter pears.
Officials said it is not possible
yet to say how much of these
two fruits will be diverted from
domestic market channels. But
a top limit of $10,000,000 was
set for school lunch purchases
and export subsidies.
Today's action was taken after
apple growers and congressmen
from major apple growing states
had appealed for government
price support aid.
This years apple crop Is a
large one, estimated at 129,500,
000 bushels compared with 88,
000,000 last year and a 10-year
average of 111,000,000. The win
ter pear crop produced princi
pally on west coast is expected to
be about 25 percent larger than
last year and the average.
Prices and other details of the
purchase and export programs
will be announced later.
Two Jefferson

UN Overrules Russia
For Airing Chinese Charges
Lake Success, Sept. 29 W The United Nations assembly today
overrode Soviet objections and decided to give a full airing to
nationalist China's charges that Russia is threatening peace by
aiding Mao Tze-Tung's Chinese communists.
The vote was 45 to 6 for placing the Chinese complaint on the
Polio Group
Plans Program
A committee recently select
ed on a skeleton basis to func
tion in case of an emergency in
the polio field is ready to take
over whenever the health autho
rities deem it advisable, Dr. W.
J. Stone, county health officer,
stated Thursday morning.
Dr. Stone and a number of
prominent physicians discussed
the situation during a conference
Wednesday evening and the
majority felt that there was lit
tle need for closing schools or
in other ways trying to ban pub
lic gatherings.
Some IT cases and one death
have been recorded by the lo
cal health officer during the
year. And while this is a consid
erable increase over a year ago,
the percentage is not out of line
of the national average.
"We should remain alert and
pray for colder weather which
will undoubtedly check the dis
ease, said Dr. Stone. "It is im
portant to know the virus is
here and many have been ex
posed, but judging by the histo
ry of the disease not many will
have paralysis." He explained
that from 70 to 80 percent of
the population harbor the virus
but that a small percentage will
have trouble.
By way of explaining the un
predictable manner in which the
disease strikes, Dr. Stone point
ed out that there was absolute
ly no connection between the
case of 11 year old John Rein
wald of the Keizer district, who
succumbed to polio and a recent
case on Pearl street.

assembly s calendar. Five coun
tries abstained. The issue now
goes to the assembly's 59-nation
political committee for detailed
debate.
Yugoslavia joined the Soviet
bloc in opposing UN interven
tion in the Chinese problem. The
Yugoslavs, along with the Rus
sians, contended the China war
is an internal matter and did
not come within the province
of the UN.
U.S. Delegate Warren R. Aus
tin supported China's request
for a hearing of her charges.
Yugoslav Deputy Foreign
Minister Ales Bebler called the
conflict in China a civil war and
said it would be a blunder for
the UN to intervene. This, he
said, would be taking sides in an
ideological war against com
munism.
It would only end in a con
flict of the powers," Bebler said,
"or in other words, a world war.
inereiore Yugoslavia opposes
including it on the agenda."
The specific issue before the
full assembly in extraordinary
session was the recommendation
of the 14-nation steering com
mittee that the Chisese com
plaint be taken up in full-dress
debate.
Nationalist China's chief del
egate, T. F. Tsiang, opened the
session with new charges that
Russia had openly violated her
1945 friendship pact with China
by helping the Chiese commun
ists instead of aiding the nation
alist government as she had
promised to do.
Tsiang demanded a full UN
airing of Russia's part in the
civil war. Vladimir Clementis
foreign minister of Czechoslo
vakia, led off the Soviet bloc
opposition.
Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Y. Vishinsky then took the
floor. He called China's com
plaint a farce and denied Rus-
had violated the Chinese-
Russian treaty.
Vishinsky said:
"In answer to the charges
about violating the treaty, which
are general, I can only say that
it is a lie, a provocation, a slan
der."

Grange Raps
Tompkins Purge
Medford, Ore., Sept. 29 U
A resolution protesting the pro
posed "purge" action against 22
state legislators by the state
Grange was passed at a meeting
of the Jacksonville Grange
this week, it was learned today.
The "purge" of legislators
who voted in favor of a change
in the state's initiative and ref
erendum laws was proposed at
a state meeting recently by Mor
ton Tompkins, state grangemas-
ter. The Jacksonville Grange's
resolution said:
"Such action Is contrary to
the principles of the Grange and
promotes pressure politics .
a legislator should be judged by
his entire voting recoiM and not
by his vote on any one bill
. . . be it resolved that we .
protest the action by the state
master . . .
At the same time the subordi
nate Grange nominated Victor
Boehl, Grants Pass, master of
the Josephine county Pomona
Grange, for the position now
held by Tompkins.
Action by the local Grange
follows similar protests by
Klamath and Josephine county
Granges. The resolution will be
submitted to the county Pomona
Grange in October, and copies
have been forwarded to the
state Grange.

ing to Chief Walter L. Young of
the Dallas fire department.
The Dallas City bank bid on
the bonds was the lowest of four
submitted. It was $100.6 per
$100 par value with interest at
2 percent. Other bids were sub
mitted by Blyth and Company,
Charles N. Tripp Co., and the
First National bank of Portland.

AMERICAN LEGION if
British Teacher
Replies to Critics
Those folk who doubt the ac
curacy of the phrase "there will
always be an England, would
have done well to have heard
Miss Alice Pendlebury of Man
chester, England as she address
ed the Salem Lions club Thurs
day noon.
While not exactly defiant, the
young woman who is filling an
exchange teaching position at
Oregon College of Education
spoke straight from the shoulder
as she asserted that England was
no worse off than other Euro
pean countries. More attention
has been paid to her native land
because England has always
been strong. The devaluation of
the pound has emphasized the
prominent part her country
plays in world affairs, Miss Pen
dlebury stated.
The speaker also refuted the
theory that the English do not
have a sense of humor. "I have
been delighted, shocked and hor
rified since coming to America,"
she said, adding, "and I have
liked every minute of it."
Britons, have a feeling that
they are not liked by Ameri
cans, the speaker said after ad
mitting that perhaps she wasn t
being tactful in bringing the
subject up. "It is felt that the
United States would like to take
the role of dictator without as
suming any responsibility."
We do not want your pity
but we do need your help and
understanding. I like you im
mensely and think your country
is wonderful," the English school
teacher said.
Miss Pendlebury resented the
report that men of England were
not working hard. She then
pointed out that production in
that country was 30 percent
more than in 1938.
"Could you work hard if you
were rationed to 2 ounces of ba
con, two ounces of cheese, 2
pints of milk, 6 ounces of but
ter, one ounce of shortening and
meat equal to the size of two
porkchops a week? she asked.
Pledges Report
On Atomic Bombs
Washington, Sept. 29 0J.R)
Chairman B r i e n McMahon of
the congressional atomic energy
committee today promised the
people a report next week on
what this country is doing to
keep the lead in its atomic arms
race with Russia.
The Connecticut democrat said
the United States must spend
"more bucks" on its A-bomb
program. And he said his com
mittee is agreed that "every ef
fort" must be made to boost
production and protect Ameri
ca's atomic edge.
The house senate committee
met again with the atomic en
ergy commission to review the
U.S. program and determine
what new steps may be neces
sary. This country already is
speeding conversion of its ato
mic explosives stockpile into
the latest bomb models.
McMahon, after today's closed
session, promised a report' after
the committee meets with mili
tary chiefs of staff, perhaps on
Monday.
