AUTO OWNERS BAFFLED
Paint on Cars Peels;
Gulf Hurricane Blamed
Shreveport, La., Oct. 8 U.R) Paint mysteriously peeled from
automobiles in widely separated areas of the south and south
west. Baffled automobile owners in Louisiana and Arkansas re
ported hundreds of cars were damaged.
The only explanation ana
that only a guess at this stage-
was that the recent gulf hurri
cane had borne to the mainland
some mvstery substance that
reacted on the paint
In Little Rock, Ark., one auto
mobile dealer reported that all
of his cars had "broken out into
a rash." Eruptions, about the
aize of "goose pimples," caused
the paint to be pitted down to
the raw metal. Then the cars
began turning brown with rust
specks, giving them a freckled
appearance.
Earl Denoon, owner of a Flor
ida paint testing plant, said the
hurricane was probably to
blame. He pointed out the same
thing happened after the 1947
Florida hurricane.
The damage, he said, is caused
by terriffic wind pressure and
not chemical reaction. He said
the theory is that a falling bar
meter sets up pressure beneath
the paint film that "sucks up"
blisters.
Nelson Confronted
By Second Charge
Orvil E. Nelson, who was ta
ken to district court Saturday
by a iheriff'i deputy for arraign
ment on a charge of obtaining
money by false pretenses, found
himself faced with a second si
milar charge before he was ta
ken back to jail pending further
action.
Nelson was recognized by a
Salem detective who recalled
having a warrant for his arrest
on a check charge which had
been pending for months. That
warrant was brought to court,
and served there.
Nelson pleaded innocent. His
bail was set at $1000 on each
charge.
The detective who recogniz
ed Nelson had brought Floyd
Rhymer to court for a hearing
on a charge of attempting to ob
tain money by false pretenses.
Rhymer pleaded guilty and was
ordered held for the grand Jury
on $1000 bail.
Senate Rests
On Farm Bill
Washington, Oct. 8 (P) The
senate took a short breather to
day in its efforts to pass a new
farm bill, after accepting the
flexible price support program it
once had rejected.
A late-hour tangle on amend
ments last night put off final
action until Monday, following
the 45 to 26 defeat of an attempt
to write in a high-support pro
vision for basic crops.
That provision calling for
government price props at 90
per cent of parity for such farm
products as cotton, wheat, corn
rice and peanuts has had a
checkered history in this ses
sion of congress.
It is the keystone of a house-
approved measure which the
senate thus far has ignored in
favor of a bill written by Sena
tor Anderson (D-N.M.). The An
derson bill calls for supports of
basic crops varying from 75 to
90 per cent, depending on avail
able supplies.
Last Tuesday, Senators Young
(R-N.D.) and Russell (D-Ga.)
asked the senate to throw out
Anderson's flexible support plan
for the 90 per cent provision.
The senate turned that down.
Then it voted to reconsider.
On the second vote, it approved
the Young-Russell amendment
on a tie which was broken by
the vote of Vice President Bark-
ley. Harried senate leaders suc
ceeded in having the bill re
turned to the agriculture com
mittee for rewriting.

Washington, Oct. 8 W Paci
fic northwest senators voted

2 Zoning Bills
Gel Hearing
The city council Monday night
will have before it for final ac
tion an amendment to the taxi-
cab license ordinance, two pro
posed zone changes, a railroad
spur franchise, and street as
sessment ordinances totaling
$24,735.22.
Public hearing will be held
on the two zoning bills.
The taxicab bill leaves the an
nual license fee at $50 a year
per cab as at present, but makes
it all payable in advance. Under
the present act half may be paid
January 1 and half July 1. Un
der the new bill if a license is
obtained after July 1 a charge
of $25 is made to the first of
the year.
One of the public hearings
will be on a zone change from
Class I to Class II residential at
Rural and University In Yew
Park annex to permit the es
tablishment of a two-unit dwell
ing. The other will pertain to
the proposal of Don Young to
build an office building between
the Court apartments and the
YMCA on Court street. The
change would make the zone
Class III-X.
The proposed Oregon Electric
spur, for which an ordinance
will be up for third reading,
would be to accommodate a new
warehouse for which Wallace
Bonesteels has obtained a per
mit.
Street assessment ordinances
on the calendar for final action
are:
Improvement of Hickory from
Valpak road to Brooks street,
$7992.15; 15th street from Nor
way to Jefferson, $1431.48; Alice
avenue from Commercial to
Mountain View drive, $10,
036.01; North 15th from Jeffer
son to Madison, $1602.14; North
22nd from D street to Nebras
ka, $3673.44. j
AFL Set to Pick
Up CIO Members
St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 8 (jP)
The AFL today embarked on a
plan to carve huge membership
chunks from the CIO toward
achieving a figured 1,000,000-
member gain in 1950.
Key officials of the American
Federation of Labor said private
ly they expect to pick up big
parts of CIO unions, when the
factional scrap in the CIO comes
to a head, as may happen soon.
A showdown between the
CIO's left wing and the right
wing elements is shaping up for
the CIO convention at Cleveland
later this month. CIO President
Philip Murray has threatened his
left wing union leaders with ex
pulsion.
Labor circles expect the result!
to be a splintering up of the
CIO's major unions, with the
CIO trying to salvage as many
members as possible and repudi
ate left wing leaders trying to
drag large membership groups
from the CIO.
Officials of the rival AFL, in
annual convention here, are
looking forward to an expected
CIO civil war with glee. They
say they hope to woo big CIO
segments into AFL ranks as a re
sult of the split.
That's what is behind the an
nounced AFL goal to pick up a
million new members next year
to boost AFL political power in
the 1950 elections.

Express Rate
Boost Protested
Several Oregon producers op
posed an increase in railway
express rates of 10 per cent on
certain commodities when the
state public utilities commission
held a hearing Friday into ap
plication of the Railway Express
company for the rate boost.
Public Utilities Commissioner
George H. Flagg said the appli
cation would be taken under ad
visement and a decision on the
rate increase would be announc
ed, probably in about a month
The interstate commerce com
mission already has approved
the application and the express
company is asking each of the
48 states to approve the increase.
R. W. Gray of Medford, rep
resenting the Holmes Brothers
Packing Co. and eight other
firms of Medford; Lloyd Lee of
Lee's Hatchery, Salem, and oth
ers opposed the proposed in
crease on grounds it would cut
substantially the shipping radi
us and number of sales for their
products.
The express company contend
ed that cuts In employes' work
week and the subsequent addi
tional workers needed, plus a
seven cent an hour wage boost
had Increased expenses from 10
to 15 per cent.
The rate boost was asked on
only one class of shipping, in
cluding fish, fruits, vegetables,
nuts, butter, eggs, cheese, fresh
meats and poultry, bakery goods,
beer and non-alcoholic beverag
es.
The Medford firms, shippers
of fresh fruits in gift packages,
said the proposed boost would
cut sharply into the quantity of
their shipments. Lee said the
increase would eliminate ship
ping of hatching eggs outside of
Oregon and would s horten the
radius of shipments within the
state.

Ding Dong Dad
In Trouble Again
San Francisco, Oct. 8 U.R)
Francis Van Wie, the Ding Dong
Daddy of the D Car Line whose
multiple marriages cost him a
stretch in San Quentin, is hav
ing marital troubles again.
Mrs. Mary Aba Van Wie, 49
the 13th, 14th or possibly '.he
21st wife of the ex-municipal
railway conductor appeared
before Superior Judge Herbert
C. Kaufman today and com
plained her bridegroom of three
weeks is acting surly, drinking
too much and definitely not a
loving husband.
The latest Mrs. Van Wie said
she did not want a divorce, but
asked the Judge, who married
the couple, if he would
straighten my husband out and
make him stop treating me so
badly.
Kaufman, who presided at
the bigamy trial which resulted
in Van Wie spending two years
in prison, promised he would
speak to the pudgy, 63-year-old
Van Wie and advised Mrs. Van
Wie to try to make a go of her
marriage.
Kaufman last month revoked
probation provision which
forbade Van Wie to marry for
five years so that the Ding Dong
Daddy could embark on his lat
est marital venture.
Van Wie admitted at the mar
riage ceremony he didn't know
how many times he has been
married.
"Well, to be honest with you,
I don't rightly know," he told
reporters. "I think his makes
the 14th or maybe the 20th."

Hunters Trapped
By Idaho Snow
Twin Falls, Ida.. Oct. 8 OJ.R
A heavy snowstorm struck the
northern Rocky Mountain area
early today, trapping hundreds
of hunters and many women
and children in the wilderness.
Snow was still falling as mili
tiamen, rangers and deputies
searched In canyons and isolat
ed forests for victims caught in
the out-of-season storm with lit
tle food and Inadequate clothing.
An airplane carrying four
persons was missing in the
storm area.
The heavy fall was more than
16 Inches deep in some locali
ties and measured at least a foot
in many upland sections of Mon
tana, Wyoming, Utah, northern
Colorado, and the eastern sec
tions of Washington, Oregon
and Nevada.
Weather expert W. M. Percy
at Chicago said light snow might
extend eastward into the Dako
tas and Nebraska later today.
He emphasized that the storm,
while heavy, was "far below
blizzard proportions" because it
was not accompanied by a sharp
dip in temperatures and high
winds which would cause the
snow to blow and drift.
The storm struck just at the
opening of the area's deer and
elk season and wardens said
"the woods are chock full of
people unaccounted for."
Portland to Up 'Take'

double tne former one-hour ma
chines, a spot check by the Port
land traffic engineers showed
today.
Two hundred of the 1000 ma
chines averaged a daily "take"
of 85 4 cents as compared to the
35-cent income from the one
hour meters. A one-hour meter
costs a motorist 5 cents, while
the two-hour variety costs 20
cents.
Seek to Save Access
Independence Span
County Judge Grant Murphy
Saturday directed a letter to the
state highway commission ask
ing to negotiate with the con
tractors building the new In
dependence bridge over the Wil
lamette in regard to saving an
access bridge to the right of
way the contractors constructed
for use in connection with bridge
building.
The judge said he considered
that the supplemental bridge,
which leads to the right of way
on which the new main bridge
is being built, will probably be
of value to Marion and Polk
counties for use in cleaning
away drift and debris which
may collect against the piers of
the big bridge in high water
times, and also serve a useful
purpose on other occasions in
getting to the right of way. It
is not sought to preserve the
bridge for public use but merely
as a service structure for the
county road crews.
BROTHERS BAG BEAR

bruin in the same place. Both
boys needed only one rifle shot.
