Seek Paving
1 Of Four Roads
I The county court Tuesday ten
J tatlvely approved petitions cov
i ering improvement and pave-
ment of four dedicated public
I roads, the first to come under a
new law of the last legislature
l providing for the assessment of
' costi of such improvements
against property owners.
Court members Monday after -
I noon personally inspected all of
j the projects, including South
! view place in Southview addition
' off the Liberty - Rosedale road
and Jelden andn 34th streets and
Brenna avenue northeast of the
I city just east of the track at the
' state fairgrounds.
' The county engineer was di
! rected to prepare estimates of
i costs and when these are avail
J able hearings will be had by
t the court to determine whether
J the costs as estimated are accept
i able to the property owners and
J they still wish to go ahead with
the projects.
t If the projects are then ap
J proved bids will be secured from
i contractors. Both the property
j owners and the court will still
have a chance to back out in
event the bids submitted are so
in excess of the estimates they
are not agreeable to either the
i owners or court members.
! The acceptances of Tuesday
' are very much of a tentative na
J ture, court members pointed out,
and their final approval will be
j dependent on developments.

Old School Site
Not ior Sale
The old Washington school
building and the city block on
which it stands at 13th and Cen
ter streets are not for sale. At
least not for the present.
In running down a rumor that
a large department store con
cern of Portland was negotiating
for the property, it was learned
that the Salem school board
hoWl tQ ju tentatlve plan, of
ultimately converting the frame
school building into offices for
the administration. However,
nothing definite in this connec
tion has been determined.
The structure is now being
used for class room purposes
but will be vacated in another
two weeks when it is expscted
the new Washington building in
the Capitola district will have
been completed.
It is improbable the Wishing
ton school will be used for stu
dent purposes since the district
which it formerly served has
few children of school age. For
the past few years it has been
occupied by pupils transported
there from outlying districts.
Several months ago the school
board looked over tentative
plans of Superintendent Frank
B. Bennett which looked to the
conversion of the property into
offices. These plans called for
the removal of the upper floor
and the filling out of the four
corners of the "H shaped struc
ture.
Plans for the occupancy of the
old senior high school, where
the administrative offices are
now housed, by civilian or army
groups, could cause the board to
go ahead with the remodelling
of the Washington building
which is entirely sound struc
turally.
Fedje Talks on
European Trip
That communism Is on the
wane and that people are more
interested in social security than
they are to buckling down to
real work, were two of the ma
ny impressions Rev. Roy Fedje
gained during a recent tour of
Europe.
Rev. Fedje, a native of Nor
way who left that country at the
age of 15, told of his travel ex
periences during Tuesday's lun
cheon of the Salem Kiwanis
club. The tour was made by air
and stops were made in all
Scandinavian countries except
Sweden as well as France, Eng
land and Scotland.
A majority of the Europeans
believe security can only come
through working for the govern
ment, said Fedje and they are
doing their best to get on the
payrolls. The result is an ex
tremely heavy tax.
In England Fedje learned that
the people would vote for the
return of the Tories to power if
Churchill could assure them that
conditions would become bet
ter. The English may develop
the best statesmen in the world,
said the traveler but they cer
tainly need to raise a new breed
of culinary artists.
Senator Vandenberg
In Good Condition
Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 4 ftl.fi)
University hospital authorities
reported Senator Arthur H. Van
denberg in "fine" condition to
day after half of his left lung
was removed in a lengthy oper
ation. Dr. John Alexander, chief
surgeon, said he couldn't ex
pect the senate republican lead
er to feel better.
In a 9:15 a.m. hospital bul
letin, Alexander said the sena
tor's reaction from the opera
tion and anesthesia is normal
and satisfactory.
The delicate six and one-half
hour operation yesterday was
needed to correct a lung lesion,
Alexander said.

Kids' Queries
Swamp C of C
The Chamber of Commerce,
like every other organization,
has its problems.
Curiously, one of the big
ones for the Salem chamber is
the kids, the inquiring, know
ledge-hungry kids. Not the boys
and girls of the home commun
ity, but those of every othe:
state in the union. The Salem
youngsters are writing their let
ters to the other states.
The letters come by hundreds.
"I don't know what we're go
ing to do about it," says Man
ager Clay Cochran. "We cer
tainly don't want to deny the
boys and girls of America any
information about Oregon we
can give them. But answering
their letters keeps a staff mem
ber busy, and it takes a big -ut-lay
in postage."
The letters have increased
since the school year opened.
Many of the inquiries are for
information to be used in class
work in school. But some of
them want Oregon pictures to
put in their scrapbooks. They
want to know about Oregon in
dustrial and agricultural re
sources, about the animals both
wild and tame, about tourists,
population of cities, the kind of
state government, and the poli
tical party in power. Scores of
requests come for pictures and
maps.
Cloves were such an expen
sive luxury to western civiliza
tion at one time that the ships
of explorer Ferdinand Magel
lan sold a cargo of them for
more than the cost of a three
year expedition.

Sea Lion to Try
Channel Swim
Paris, Oct. 4 l& A sea lion,
prodded by press agents, is go
ing to try swimming the Eng
lish channel. But it isn't true
that the sea lion will be chal
lenged to a race by a crocodile
from the Cairo zoo.
The National Broadcasting
Co., of New York, is sponsoring
the sea lion's efforts. For a time
today it appeared that the croco
dile, described as 80 years old.
also would be in the swim but
Cairo officials said that was
an obvious hoax.
The crocodile challenge was
believed to have been sent as a
joke by Cairo newspaper men.
Meantime, the sea lion, which
goes by the name of Pierre See
leon, is at the Vinccnnes zoo
after an air trip from Cali
fornia. A 20-mile swim for a
sea lion ordinarily would be a
lead pipe cinch.
NBC's sea lion, incidentally,
has something or other to do
with its zany radio program,
"Truth of Consequences."
In New York, the Compton
Advertising agency, which han
dles "Truth or Consequences,"
expressed dismay that the pro
gram's channel swimmer had
been unmasked as a sea lion.
"It was supposed to be a se-
cvret," mourned Muriel Dibble,
of the agency staff. "The swim
mer has been mentioned on the
program only as 'Otto the Great'
and listeners were supposed to
think it was a human being.
The District of Columbia has
34 miles of railway.

Poses Bridges As
Most Persecuted
San Francisco, Oct. 4 P) De
fense Attorney James Lawrence
Fly today pictured Harry Brid
ges as the nation's most perse
cuted man in arguing for dis
missal of perjury and conspiracy
charges against the west coast
labor leader.
Bridges is accused of perjury
in claiming he was not a com
munist and of conspiracy to de
fraud in obtaining his naturali
zation in 1945. He was born in
Australia. He is president of the
International Longs horemen's
and Wareho u s e m e n ' s union
(CIO).
Entering the case for the first
time, Fly told the federal court
jury the government's prosecu
tion of Bridges "is a melancho
ly record."
"There is no case comparable
to it in terms of relentless pur
suit by his government after
one man on one issue," he said.
Fly, a former chairman of the
federal communications commis
sion, argued the charges should
be barred by the statute of li
mitations.

Vet Memorial
To Be Ditched
David M. Brown of Akron,
Ohio, national commander of
the Disabled American Veter
ans, now in Salem, said plans
are progressing toward dissolu
tion of the Salem Living War
Memorial association.
This is the organization that
started construction, under Sa
lem DAV auspices, of a memor
ial building at North Church
and Marion. Difficulties that
developed when the contractor
sued for a claim against the
building corporation brought
Brown and Cicero Hogan, na
tional claims director, to Salem
to help adjust the matter.
Brown said Tuesday the sig
natures of two more trustees of
the association are needed to
complete plans for the dissolu
tion. It was expected these
would be gotten during the day,
and Brown will return east Wed
nesday morning.
The situation was threshed
out at a lengthy meeting held
Monday night at the Senator
hotel . The meeting was limited
to only paid-up members in good
standing. Attorneys for the
corporation were not permitted
to remain.
If the corporation is dissolved
it is planned to sell the prop
erty and funds on hand pro
rated back to the donors. It is
said pledges and donations were
nrft less than $30,000 and pos
sibly as high as $40,000.
Brown said indications were
the matter would be settled
peaceably within the chapter.
Jaycees Order Badges
For Boy Patrols
Robert Mason, head of the

the Salem Junior Chamber of
Commerce, told the membership
Tuesday noon that badges for
the patrols have been ordered.
Thus far, the Jaycees have ar
ranged for yellow hats, belts and
badges for the vast patrol sys
tem needed to protect children
during school hours at heavily
traveled intersections.
Prior to Mason's announce
ments, four new members, Al
Stoars, J i m Elliott, Phil Janz
and Robert Brant were given
membership pins.
