Poor Support
For Chest Drive
A pessimistic view of the re'
suits of the 1949 Red Feather
drive In Salem was given Tues
day to members of the Salem
Junior Chamber of Commerce
by Al Loucks, a member of the
campaign committee.
"Frankly, t h e Community
Chest is having a hard time in
Salem this year," Loucks told
Jaycee members. He explained
that contributions had already
fallen far behind those of last
year and that the outlook was
poor.
Loucks emphasized that the
various agencies, members of
the Chest, had cut their budget
estimates "to the bone" and that
failure of the campaign would
mean a diminution of many es
sential and worth-while serv
ices for children and needy ad
ults. "Because the various agencies
cut their estimates, we were able
to lower our goal this year from
$110,000 to $105,000," Loucks
said.
The campaign committeeman
cited excuses for not giving as
the recent hospital drive, tighter
economic circumstances, and a
philosophy of thinking "you can
get something for nothing."

Squabble Ousted
A Coos Bay argument over a
few Inches of property isn't any
business of the courts, so the
three families involved will have
to settle the four-year argument
themselves.
The state supreme court ruled
today that Circuit Judge Dal M
King, Coquille, did the right
thing when he tossed the whole
mess out of court.
The feud was "extremely em
bittered; so much so that, on one
occasion, they resorted to a mu
tual display of firearms," Jus
tice Arthur D. Hay wrote in to
day's opinion.
The case involved a strip of
property varying in width from
of an Inch to 4 inches.
It all started when Mr. and
Mrs. Pryne Fields built a con
crete wall at the edge of their
property. It was on their own
property, all right, but it wasn't
a very good wall. It leaned over
toward the adjoining property.
The adjoining property was
owned by Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Mc-
Kee and Mr. and Mrs. Pete Mc
Gowan. They sued Mr. and Mrs
Fields to force them to remove
the wall.
But Mr. and Mrs. Fields
wouldn't remove the wall. They
laid it was undermined by the
McKees and the McGowans tres
passing. Cargo Liner Service

Banker Talks
On Ouilook
While savings are being de
pleted and collections are slow
er, the total picture of the na
tion's economy is on the bright
side, in the opinion of David
A. Abram, assistant vice presi
dent of the U.S. National bank
of Portland.
Abram presented this view
point as he spoke concerning
credit trends for the benefit of
Salem Kiwanis club members
Tuesday noon. He Indicated
that business concerns would
need more money to carry on
their affairs while their credit
programs should be flexible to
Meet changing conditions. He
said he could see no reason at
this time for extending credit on
large purchases such as automo
biles beyond maximum of four
years, although in some in
stances payments on automo
biles are running as much as 52
months.
The economists predict a na
tional income of 203 billion dol
lars for 1950 and the only dls
agreement in the various tabu
lations la over the degree of
prosperity which the country
will enjoy.
The depletion of savings Is
charged against illness, purch
ase of durable goods, the high
cost of living and home improve
ments. The speaker said it Is
indicated that persons with in
comes of $5000 or less will have
greater difficulty in meeting
their obligations.
Special music for the lunch

sisting of Chris Seely, Mrs.
Seely and Donald Jepson.

McKay's Tribute
To Columbus
Although the 1949 legislature
removed Columbus day from
Oregon's list of official holidays,
Gov. Douglas McKay today is
sued a statement in commemor
ation of the 457th anniversary of
the discovery of America.
McKay said the courageous
spirit of Columbus was "the in
spiration of every generation of
pioneers since his day . . . the
spark that was fanned into a
flaming westward movement,
leading eventually to the build
ing of this republic into a family
of patriots stretching from the
Atlantic to the Pacific."
The governor said we should
assess these facts "so that we
may more ardently cherish the
sacrifices that have brought us
a full life in the greatest or all
countries. We should consider
them, too, in the light of the fu
ture and thus dedicate ourselves
to the perpetuation of the prog
ress and freedoms made possible
by the vision of Christopher
Columbus and all like him.

Fliers Rest After
Breaking Record
Yuma, Ariz., Oct. 11 UP) The
new world's champion endur
ance filers, woody jongewara
and Bob Woodhouse, are resting
at their homes today.
The wartime navy pilots
brought their four-place plane,
"The City of Yuma," to a land
ing at the Yuma county airport
yesterday afternoon at 3:33 p.m.
(MST) after 1124 hours and 18
minutes of continuous flying.
"Never again, the two said,
when asked if they'll make an
other endurance try.
Both stepped from their plane
and confided that they knew
they could walk all the time. An
exercise rig had been set up in
the plane for the purpose of
keeping their legs in shape
while they were cooped up in
the tiny cabin.
Neither knows exactly what
they'll do next. Vacations say
their wives and B e r t a Wood
house declared they "won't fly
wherever we go."
Since Aug. 24 when they took
off from the smaller Marsh avi
ation field on the other side of
town, they had flown 85,000
miles, the equivalent of three
times around the world.
Decision to terminate the
flight most of which was spent
over Yuma to show the world
this city's fine flying weather
came Sunday night when one of
their two magnetoes burned out.

Moch Asked to
Form Cabinet
Paris, Oct. 11 UR Jules Moch,
socialist party leader, was
asked by President Vincent Au
riol today to form a new French
government.
If he succeeds, Moch will be
come premier to succeed Henri
Queuille, who resigned six days
ago in an economic dispute that
split his 13-month-old coalition
cabinet.
Moch served as minister of in
terior in the Queuille cabinet. He
had been negotiating with lead
ers of other political parties for
several days seeking agreement
on a socialist proposal for limited
wage increases to offset effects
of devaluation of the franc.
President Auriol offered Moch
the premiership despite the fact
that the socialist minister is far
from certain of wooing enough
support from other party groups
to obtain a majority in the1
French national assembly.
Moch said he would tell the
president tonight whether he
would accept the nomination.
Both communist and non-com
munist trade unions have been
demanding wage increases to off
set the rising prices expected to
result from currency devalua
tion. Moch has proposed wage
bonuses for low-paid workers
and favors dropping the Queuille
government's wage freeze, to
permit labor and management to
go back to prewar colletcive bargaining.

tory, Ross Cunningham, Seattle
Times associate editor, wrote in
his column today.
The work was planned to
cost about $100,000,000 and
members of the state's congres

ed from time to time that it
would be located in central
Washington, Cunningham said.
"The latest word, however, is
that the project has been denied
to this area by the air force and
will be located in Tennessee
the apparent reason being that
the Pacific northwest is consid
ered relatively more vulnerable
than Tennessee," Cunningham
wrote. .

Vishinsky Hits
'Mud Slinging'
Lake Success, Oct. 11 W)
Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky
today accused the United States
and Britain of slinging mud at
the communist-dominated gov
ernments of eastern Europe be
cause he said western sup
ported plots failed to overthrow
the communists.
The Soviet foreign minister
made a fiery, arm-waving at
tack on the western powers in
the 59-nation special political
committee of the United Nations
assembly. He said charges that
Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary
had violated fundamental free
doms were invented by the
United States and Britain.
The committee is debating s
United States proposal to ask
the international court of jus
tice for an opinion in connection
with the charges. Vishinsky said
this was an effort to make the
court a branch of the American
state department and the Brit
ish foreign office.

1 Churchill Raps
Beaverbrook
London, Oct. 11 Wi Conserv
ative party leader Winston
Churchill pointedly told Lord
Beaverbrook today "it is cer
tainly not our intention to try
to win votes by wholesale prom
ises of higher wages at the pres
ent grave time."
Beaverbrook gave his own po
litical campaign platform for
British recovery Monday in a
personally signed article in his
London Dally Express. He ad
vocated a six pounds ($16.80)
minimum weekly wage.
"Lord Beaverbrook's opinions
are his own, but it is my duty
to say that they must not be
taken as representing the consid
ered policy of the conservative
party," Churchill told a tory
conference.
Britain at the present time has
no minimum wage scale, al
though railwaymen are trying
to get five pounds ($14) mini
mum. The labor government has
maintained a wage freeze poli
cy since early 1947.
Meantime three right wing
London newspapers said Britain
may have a general election in
late November.
The conservative Daily Mail
and Lord Beaverbrook's inde
pendent Daily Express both said
the conservative party chair
man, Lord Woolton, believes the
labor government soon will call
for an election on November 21.
