Viewers Picked
The board of viewers to be
elected in connection with con
demnation of certain parcels of
land to be used for right of way
on the new Sllverton load re
alignment will be named by the
Salem Realty board, County
Judge Grant Murphy stated Fri
day. The judge contemplates going
into a huddle with District At
torney Ed Stadter Saturday, or
as soon as feasible, to get initial
steps under way for what may
be five condemnation suits.
However, it is expected that on
ly three of these will go through
the court and an early settle
ment of at least two of them is
expected.
Lee Ohmart, who is chairman
of the board of appraisers for
the Salem Realty board, states
that there are four selected as
members of this board, the three
besides himself being Ed Byr
kitt, Clevc Bartlett and William
Goodwin. The board of viewers
on the Silverton road will con
sist of three members who will
be selected from the four nam
ed. Ohmart said he couldn't say
yet who the three would be if
the court asks for the use of the
realty board viewers. It will de
pend on conditions, but the
three selected will have no in
terest in the proposed road or
anyone connected with it.
County Engineer Hedda Swart
has just completed three maps
of the portion of the road to be
affected by the condemnations
with the lands involved depict
ed in different colors for the
convenience of the viewers.
$2 Million Tax
Fine Imposed
New York, Sept. SO m Mrs.
Eleanor Louise Patenotre, 80,
former principal owner of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, pleaded
guilty today to Income tax eva
sion charges and received a sus
pended sentence upon paying a
$2,000,000 liability.
Federal Judge Alfred C. Coxe
placed Mrs. Patenotre, widow of
a former French ambassador, on
probation for one day. He acted
on recommendation of Assistant
U.S. Attorney Thomas F. Mur
phy. The prosecution told the court
that the case grew out of the
sale of the Philadelphia newspa
per to Curtis-Martin Newspap
ers, Inc., in 1030 for $10,500,000.
Murphy told the court that in
view of the guilty plea by Mrs.
Patenotre and the payment of
the tax, the government would
not prosecute her son, Raymond,
who is suffering from hardening
of the arteries of the brain.
Murphy told the court that
for Income tax purposes, Mrs.
Patenotre transferred the stock
of the company to her son, and
he sold the stock to the Curtis
Martin interests in Montreal
May 4, 1930.
Both the mother and son were
indicted June 30, 1048 by a fed
eral grand jury on charges of
income tax evasion.
Murphy told Judge Coxe that
no part of the profit from the
sale of the newspaper ever was
reported to the government,

Ohmart Talks
On Appraisals
"The common horse sense ap
proach" is the essence of any
true appraisal of real property,
Lee Ohmart, Salem real estate
broker learned during a course
of study taken at Salt Lake City
recently. He spoke before Sa
lem realtors during their Friday
luncheon.
Ohmart was one of a number
of real estate men from 17 west
ern states who took the course
in appraisal as provided by the
American Institute of Real Es
tate Appraisals. The course was
a thorough one, Ohmart report
ed, leaving little time for out
side diversion.
The scientific approach to ar
riving at the value of a certain
piece of property played a pro
minent part in the course of in
struction, with stress being plac
ed on the income angle. The cost
approach is being forced more
or less into the background be
cause of a decline in sales va
lues.
The realtors took preliminary
steps toward raising the mini
mum sales fee from $25 to $50
and the charge for an appraisal
from a $15 minimum to $25.

great allied airlift to blockaded
Berlin. Tonight a big C-54 load

flight east in what once was an
endless skyway of planes bridg
ing the Russian blockade.

Washington, Sept. 30 W) A

tionally for 1949-crop corn was

Employe Quits '
Philip Aspinwall, who has
been in postal work for over 45
vear.T. 37 years of that time with
the Salem post office, retired
Friday. Only Paul Miller, assist
ant postmaster, has worked long
er at the Salem post office.
Aspinwall, who lives ai 645
Market street, started his ca
reer for Uncle Sam as assistant
postmaster at Brooks and at Rai
nier. Then getting into then civ
il service in 1910 he started on
June 15 of that year as clerk
at the post office in Hood River.
His transfer to Salem was June

Hjs first work here, of course,
was in the old Salem post office
building which was moved to
the Willamette campus as a law
college building in 1937 when
the new post office was dedi
cated.
"When I went to work here,"
he recalls, "there were 24 em
ployes. Now there are over 100.
Mail was delivered on the rural
routes by horseback, and one of
my jobs, of which I had several,
was dividing the mail.
"The post card is about the
only thing that hasn't changed.
It sold for a penny then, and
still does."
For the last 10 years Aspin
wall has been at the stamp win
dow. He has always been classi
fied as a clerk. For some years
he was In charge of insurance
and COD claims. He assisted in
setting up the social security
procedure at the Salem post of
fice. Aspinwall has a small acre
age on Highway 99E north of
the city, and expects to put in
most of his time there, though
he is going to travel a bit, he
says, and enjoy a vacation with
out worrying about getting back
on the job.
Mr. and Mrs. Aspinwall have
two daughters, Mrs. Douglas
Chambers of Salem and Mrs.
Roger Quackenbush of Astoria.
Postmaster Albert C. Gregg
expressed regret at Aspinwall's
departure. He said that Wilbur
C. Cavendcr, a senior clerk,
would take his place at the
wholesale stamp window.

for exporting countries, at "equi

The cut-rate price is limited,
however, to countries which use
their own dollars and which
have ratified the wheat agree
ment.
These limitations rule out
some of Uncle Sam's biggest cus

receiving Marshall plan funds,
The administration wants to
make the bargain price avail

tries. Legislation is pending in
congress to permit this, but it
