Board Sought
Salem's Military manpower
committee at a meeting Tuesday
took the initiative In proposing
the formation of a combined
armed services committee in the
state to serve in an advisory
capacity to Oregon's governor.
Under the proposal made by
the Salem group and forwarded
to Governor McKay for approv
al, the combined armed services
committee with the governor
would function when the com
bined armed forces planned ex
hibits or any coordinated activ
ity in the state.
During the meeting a sub-committee,
composed of William
Baillie, Col. Mark Hillary, Col
Philip Allison, Judge Rex Kim
mell and Dave Hoss, was ap
pointed to contact the governor
and work with him in carrying
out the plans for formation of
the committee.
Approved at the meeting of
the committee was the formal
report made by Col. Mark Hll
lary, who headed the sub-corn
mittee of the Salem Military
Manpoyer committee in planning
the combined armed forces ex
hibit for the state fair, and the
report of Col. Henry Russell.

Curb Powers
(Continued from Pag 1)
King did not appear In person
But Halsey, who as Third fleet
commander in the Pacific war
guided history's greatest con
centration of naval forces, did.
The hard-jawed tough little
man know as "Bull" rapped at
"city bombing" as capable of
accomplishing nothing but uni
fication of enemy peoples In
fiery patriotism as the as
sault on Pearl Harbor did Amer
icans. Halsey said the air force's
high-flying, 1 o n g-range B-36
could stop nothing but enemy
bullets. Like other navy wit
nesses, he declared it is too vul
nerable to enemy fighter planes
to be a useful weapon.
Mobility Essential
Halsey said the mobility of
naval forces In war is the prime
requisite for victory against an
enemy. The lessons of World
War II, he said, gave "proof of
the pudding" rather than sup
porting the air force theory of
pure aerial warfare.
Hal'ey's testimony was not
limited to criticism of the air
force. He also outlined what
should be done in war, especial
ly by navies.
Halsey said the strategic the
ory of city bombing was useless
in cutting down an enemy like
Russia. Instead, he said, this na
tion should be prepared to at
tack the Soviets' "string;' trans
port systems so drawn-out that
they cannot be heavily defended
at all places." He did not name
Russia in this connection but his
meaning was clear.
There is no issue over air
power but over the employment
of it. Halsey made clear to the
committee.
58 Air Groups
'Continued from Page 1)
"I came down here to hear
what the president had to say,
but it Is not going to influence
me in any way," Wherry said.
Wherry said the president was
"very decent" at the meeting and
simply gave his opinion.
The house voted 305 to 1
against yielding from its posi
tion in favor of the 58-group air
force.
Lucas, supporting the presi
dent's position, said it "is diffi
cult for me to understand how
the experts in the house want to
override the experts in the army
and the air force as well as the
president of the United States."
The argument between the
two houses over air force funds
has held up the huge military
appropriations bill for more than
a month.

Price Supports
fContinued from Pane 1)
The senate bill would allow
90 per cent of parity supports
for tobacco whenever growers
voted controls but would per
mit supports to vary from 90 to
79 per cent on the other basic
crops.
For next year tobacco, wheat
corn and cotton probably would
stay at the 90 per cent level,
since they presumably will be
under production controls.
Parity Is a price calculated
to give farmers a "fair" return
In terms of things they must
buy.
In passing the variable sup
port bill today the senate follow
ed a prediction made this morn
ing by Senator Lucas.

sees no chance for congress to
adjourn by Saturday night.

State to Sell
Land to County
The Marion county court Wed
nesday received written advices
from the state board of control
that it will sell the county for
health unit purposes a strip of
land facing on D street and ad
jacent to Salem General hospi
tal property for $3500.
The land in question is 79'i
by 644 and includes approxi-.
mately an acre and a quarter.
The offer will be referred to
the county health board to take
into consideration In making es
timates as to the overall prob
able cost of a health unit at this
spot. In event the proposal is
considered feasible the present
plan is to submit it to the voters
at the primary election next
May with a probable request for
$50,000 outside of the 6 percent
tax limitation to be used for the
establishment of a county health
unit establishment there.
The land In question has an 80
foot frontage on D street and
runs back 644 feet parallel with
and adjacent to property of the
Salem General hospital on that
street.
Those in favor of the pur
chase consider it an ideal loca
tion for the health unit being
contiguous to the hospital where
many hospital facilities would
be available. They also point
out that it is advantageous for
the unit to have its own building
with ample parking facilities
and that its present quarters
downtown have been outgrown.
Steel Strike
(Continued from Page 1)
About 100 left-wing faction
leaders of the CIO in Cleveland
asked Murray to do all he can
to "keep the CIO united."
Talk that left-wing CIO un
ions may break away and form
a third major labor organization
was denied by Grant Oakes,
president of the CIO Farm
Equipment Workers. He denied
reports which named him as one
of the key planners of the rebel
move.
In New Orleans, southern CIO
officials and the president of the
CIO Gas, Coke and Chemical
Workers investigated reports
that 8,000 of the 15,000 southern
members of the gas and coke
union have seceded.
In Washington, a group in
cluding Mrs. Franklin D. Roose
velt accused the steel industry
of acting "in favor of its profits
and against the national inter
est" In the steel strike.
The statement was issued by
the Americans for Democratic
Action (ADA), a political group.
It said the industry should accept
presidential fact finding
board's report, and declared the
union's demands for company
paid pensions are justified.

mean to shoot his friend

ing Reed when the shot took
place. The scene of the shoot
ing was in Reed's cabin in De
troit. Bascomb was brought to Sa
lem General hospital for treat
ment of a flesh wound and was
