Court House Architecture Fits That of Capitol Group?
Question Asked
If Court House
Ties Into Group
Do plant for the exterior of
the Marion county courthouse
conform architecturally with the
beautiful buildings forming the
capitol group?
This is the question asked by
many Salem and Marion county
citizens after viewing the plans
prepared by Pietro Belluschi
Portland architect, for the new
courthouse, expected to be con
structed next year.
Rising from its own ashes,
Oregon's marble capitol build
ing dominates the capitol group
The structure, of modernized
Greek architecture, stands on
the site of the state's second
capitol, destroyed by fire in 19H5
The now building was complet
ed in 1938 at a cost of $2,50(1
000. The architect was Francis
Kcallv of New York City. The
design was selected in a nation
wide contest.
Library Follows Capitol
Next came the state library
building, located just north of
the west wing of the capitol
building, and architecturally
harmonizing with the capitol.
Nearing completion is the
five-story slate office building.
to the east of the sunken gar
dens. Like the state library,
the new structure likewise is in
complete harmony with the
group.
Soon to be constructed will
be the new state highway build
ing, located lust north of the
state office building, its plans
also in accord with the general
architectural scheme adopted
for the capitol group.
Postoffica Conforms
West of the capitol group is
Salem's new postoffice. Even
though built in 1937, prior to
the completion of the new capi
tol, it fits in architecturally with
the capitol group.
County Judge Grant Murphy
has announced that construc
tion of the new courthouse can
not begin before July 1, 1950.
The present courthouse will not
be vacated prior to January 1,
1950.
In the meantime, Miss Ren
ska Swart is leading a campaign
to retain the old courthouse
structure for historical reasons.
together with the fact that it'
is the only building in the coun
ty with architecture that ante
dates 20th century vogues.
Basic plans for the new court
house were approved by the
courthouse commission on Au
gust 18 with some members of
the commission expressing satis
faction "with the close conformi
ty of the general plan with other
governmental buildings In Salem."

more liberal interpretation of
the church canon on marriage

cities of Salem's size for opera
tion expenses to be 12.1 per cent
of the funds. Salem s opera

Selective Service End
Like No Insurance
Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 30 UJ-
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey said
here today that to kill selective
service at this time would be
"like cancelling an insurance
policy for a person nearing the
test of survival."
The selective service chief
said machinery has been set up
to put the draft in full operation
within 60 days in the event of
emergency. If the law were
dropped, he said, it would take
six months before draft could
begin.
Hershey, making his only
scheduled northwest public ap
pearance at a Rotary club meet
ing, said voluntary enlistments
were now filling armed forces
quotas. "But to drop the se
lective service law would be like
laying off the fire department
until a fire.
