Detroit Voters
Up to Board
When residents of the area
in which an election is to be
held Thursday to vote on the
question of Incorporating it as
the city of Detroit cast their
ballots on the question it will
be up to the election board
there to determine who are qual
ified voters and who are not.
County Clerk Harlan Judd
states that when the poll books
for the election were made up
they included the names o all
the registered voters in all of
the Bretienbush precinct.
While the proposed new city
limits of Detroit all lie in the
Breitenbush precinct, they do
not cover the entire boundaries
of that precinct. However, the
county clerk had no way of
knowing just which voters in
the Breitenbush precinct live in
the limits of the proposed city
and which live outsdie of it. As
a result in making up the poll
books all his force could do was
to list all of the voteri in the
precinct and let the election
board determine who is quali
fied by residence to vote on
the question of incorporation.
Any member of the election
board or any bystander can
challenge a voter at the polls as
to his right to vote and the board
then can pass on the qualifica
tions. Council Pays Tribute
To W. H. Crawford
The late William H. Crawford,
who at his death was pro-tem

othy Crawford.
It was recorded in the reso
lution that "Judge Crawford,

public positions, each of which
he considered a public trust, and
discharged the duties thereof
faithfully, efficiently and cap
ably, with dignity and honor,
meriting and having. the esteem
and respect of his fellow citi
zens.
"As municipal judge William
H. Crawford carefully heard and
thoughtfully considered each
case before him impartially and
fearlessly, motivated only by a
deep sense of justice, and de
sire to honestly and fairly de
cide the guilt or innocence of
his fellowmen, at all times up
holding the dignity and suprem
acy of the law."

Miss Fidler,
Mr. Hosey
Engaged
Announced in Eugene last eve
ning was the engagement of
Miss Jean Fidler, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Tidier of
Salem, to James Hosey, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Hosey
of Oak Grove, Ore.
The wedding is planned for
the Christmas season, December
27.
The announcement last eve
ning was made at the sorority of
the bride-elect, Delta Delta Del
ta, on the University of Oregon
campus. At dessert during the
dinner hour the sorority girls
found miniature red triangles
with the names of the couple and
date for the wedding, the tri
angle being a symbol of the
draftsman, both Miss Fidler and
Mr. Hosey being students in ar
chitecture.
Miss Fidler was graduated
from the University of Oregon
in June and is now employed in
Eugene. Mr. Hosey, who served
in the marines during the war,
is now a student in the school
of architecture and allied arts at
the university.
Guided Missiles
(Continued from Page 1)
Sides concluded:
"With AA (ant 1-aircraft)
guided missiles approaching op
erational use, it is folly for any
country to stake its future to any
great extent on the big bomber
and atom bomb."
"Professional gamblers have
always held to the theory that
one should never gamble for
more than he can afford to lose.
"In the light of developments
which I have been describing, it
would appear that when we
gamble predominantly on the
atomic blitz concept of war it is
the life of our nation which may
be at stake."
Before hearing sides, the com
mittee had brief new discussion
with Cmdr. Eugene Tatom about
how deadly is the A-bomb. Ta
torn cited medical reports on the
Hiroshima blast to back up his
contention that it it not as dead
ly at the public thinks.
But under questioning, Tatom
agreed that all available statis
tics do not Jibe. And he taid
that anyway he isn't an atomic
expert.
Tatom Is the navy man who
surprised the committee yester
day by saying a man could stand
at one end of the Washington
national airport and come un
scathed through an atomic blast
at the other end of its 6,800-foot
(about one mile and a third)
runway.
His testimony was part of the
navy's general attack on the
military policy of putting so
large an investment into the air
force B-38 bomber a plane de
signed to fly from one continent
to another and carry an A-bomb

Drainage
(Continued from Page 1)
Franzen, in reply to a question,
said sewer rental money can be
used for drainage work. That
a provision of the act, he
said.
Franzen and City Engineer
Davis said new equipment
needed to keep down surface
water this spring it four pump
ers and a sewer cleaning ma
chine, costing a total of about
$6600. The purchase was auth
orized on motion of Alderman
O'Hara.
Davis said, however, that in
the east Englewood and Lone
Oak districts absolute clearance
of flood water will be impossible
because of the high water level
and lack of sewer systems.
Alderman Gille made the mo
tion that the action of two weeks
ago be rescinded. Alderman
Maple moved and the council
voted that the manager and at
torney go ahead with completion
of easements regardless of the
action taken.
In South Salem drainage oper
ations that have been in prog
ress for several weeks are al
most finished. The work has
been mainly the clearing of
ditches.

Brutality Denied
(Continued irom Page 1)
Ryan said that Irwin Wake
field, a patient, was killed on
April 11, 1944, after he and two
other criminally insane patients
had attacked three attendants.
Wakefield slugged an attendant
with an iron bar and was killed
in the struggle. A coroner's Jury
exonerated the attendants, the
report said.
Ryan declared that the feed
ing standards have been improv
ed during the past three years.
He said a typical noon meal con
sists of beef stew, corn on the
cob, boiled potatoes, chocolate
pudding, two fresh pears, bread
and butter and coffee.
Plenty of blankets are furn
ished the patients and all sleep
in steam heated rooms, Ryan re
ported. He also said that better
trained doctors were now on the
staff, together with more compe
tent nurses and attendants.
Railroading Impossible
The committee appearing last
week claimed that "people are
railroaded" into the hospital
without advising relatives and
without proper court hearings.
Ryan said this is Impossible un
der the law.
Gov. McKay said that he fav
ored further improvement on
food served at the hospital, de
claring that the state wards were
entitled to the best food that the
state could afford to furnish.
A low bid of $313,677 for a
new 40-cell block at the state
penitentiary submitted by Deca
tur Iron and Steel company was
referred to Warden George Al
exander and other prison offi
cials for recommendation.
Ching Trying
(continued Irom Page l)
The government will be work
ing against time in Its effort
to get the steel strike settled.
Contracts of a half-million steel-
workers in fabricating plants
where steel is the basic product
for hundreds of articles began
expiring Saturday. They'll con
tinue to run out through mid-
December.
And Murray says the union
will call a strike in each case
where the fabricators won't pro
vide free pensions and Insur
ance. A total of 10 small firms has
agreed to pay workers a 10-cent
pension and insurance package
without employe contributions.
That is the exact recommenda
tion of the presidential fact find
ing board which tried unsuccess
fully to head off the walkout.
The latest firms to give in to
Murray are Kelsey-Hayes wheel
company, near Pittsburgh, and
the Massey-Harris company at
Batavia, N. Y. The latter is a
steel fabricating firm with 2,000
employes. Kelsey-Hayes has
650 workers.
