In Zigzag Fight
Portland, Oct. 10 OT When
William J. Hicks, 41, tells of
his encounter with the bear,

and he flops back weakly on
his pillows.
Hicks, a logger near the Mt.
Hood community of Zigzag, shot
the bear, four times, last night
because bruin had been prowl
ing around his cabin.
He used only a .22 caliber ri
fle, though, and the bear, esti
mated to weigh 250 pounds,
Just kept on coming at Hicks.
"He didn't really rush me,
but he made a slap at me. I tried
to ward it off. I thought he was
going to get me in the face,'
said Hicks wanly.
The slap cut open his right
hand between thumb and fore
finger. Hicks got out of there
running. His wife and brother
brought him to a Portland hos
pital, Hicks said, finishing his
story and collapsing back on
the pillows with a shudder, "I'm
sick."

Mass Arrests
By Czech Reds
Prague, Czechoslovakia, Oct.
10 (U.R) A week long wave of ar
rests, in which thousands of per
sons were taken into custody,
was an attack "against the big
gest underground network un
covered since the communist
party came into power," a com
munist source said today.
Well-informed sources said
those arrested were mostly law
yers, doctors and small business
men who disappeared in Prague.
But reports from Brno (Bru-
enn) in Moravia, Pilsen in Bo
hemia and Zilina in Slovakia in
dicated the drive was country
wide.
One source said tens of thous
ands already had been tossed
into labor camps.
The communist source, who is
in a position to know what is
going on but who did not want
to be identified, said the round
up was the biggest ever organ
ized by the communist govern
ment.
(The Vatican radio said in
Czech language broadcast that
police forces had surrounded the
small town of Svatyian Podska
Ion. near Prague, site of a col
lege for Catholic school teach
ers.
(The broadcast said the town
was "separated from the outside
world.")
To Survey Property
Exempt from Taxes
A complete survey of prop
erty exempt from taxation will
be undertaken by the state tax
commission, it was announced
Friday.
The commission will dispatch
appraisal engineers into every
county of the state to work with
county assessors. The engineers
will be assigned from the assess
ment and taxation division.
Although the commission has
figures relating to classes of
property exempt from taxation,
members of the commission are
certain that some items are be
ing exempt are not included
in the commission's list. It is
also believed that some proper
ty now exempt can be placed
back on the tax rolls as a result
of the survey.

Want to Be Funny?
Doff That Dignity
Hollywood (IP) Comedian Ed
Wynn prefers always to be call
ed just plain "Ed."
To quote him: "No comedian
can be mister. He immediately
becomes too dignified and
thereby stops being funny."
Admits Progress
In Fire Control
That Salem is making good
progress in providing fire fight
ing equipment and personnel for
an expanding community, but
still has some distance to go to
reach a parity, was the statement
of Robert Taylor, state insurance
commissioner Monday noon.
Taylor was principal speaker
during the weekly chamber of
commerce luncheon, which in
recognition of fire prevention
week, was held at the central
fire department. Basing his fi
gures on the records since 1940
Taylor said Salem's per capita
loss from fire was $11 as com
nared with approximately $4
for other cities of similar size.
Taylor In recognizing progress
being made toward building an
adequate fire department, prais
ed the efforts to Chief William
Roble and his crew as well as
the city administration. How
ever, he pointed out that much
of the equipment was old and
would soon be in need of re
placement. The aerial truck, he
pointed out was 25 years old, a
condition, he added was not
conductive to the safety of the
men who had to "man it. Two
pumpers are 20 years old, one is
18 and a third of 12.
Taking men from the present
staff to man the new West Salem
station when it is completed,
Taylor said, would tend to
spread the personnel fairly thin.
Fire Chief Roble presided
during the program and called
upon his associates for demon
strations in radio broadcasts to
equipment and in incoming fire
alarms.
Spinner of Tales
Entertains Nurses
An 86-year-old spinner of
tales entertained nurses at Sa
lem Memorial hospital Monday
where he was taken after suf
fering a collapse near the Salem
bus depot.
The man was identified as
John Allen of Roundup, Mont.
Sunday night, when he was
taken to the hospital, he told
nurses he had come to Salem to
look for a "Mrs. Wheeler who
used to live on Marion street."
Monday morning, his story
improved. It Included an ac
count that he had been a physi
cian "for eight years."

Two Juveniles Plot
Grim, Dark Mystery
Two Salem Juveniles plotted
a grim, dark mystery Sunday.
The plot had complications that
they didn't expect, and they
found themselves on the wrong
end.
Mrs. Eva Lieske, 395 South
22nd, found a note on her porch.
It said:
"Beware. You have one day
left to live."
It was signed, "The Hand of
Death."
Mrs. Lieske took It seriously
enough to call the police, and
the case was given to Juvenile
Officer Allen McRae. He made
a contact at Richmond school,
with the result that the two
boys, 11 and 12 years old con
fessed.
"We didn't mean any harm,"
they told the officer. "We were
just fooling, and we didn't think
it would be reported to the po
lice. We won't do it anymore."
Accidents in U.S. homes killed
35,000 people in 1948.
