Sight Wrecks
Of 2 Planes

Oct. 22 " A rescue party
tolled up a 6,000-foot mountain
todav toward two burned-out
wrecks, believed to be two of
three navy fighter planes max
disappeared four days ago.
A civilian "rain-maker pilot'
(aid there were "absolutely no
inns of life" around the wrecks,
which he spotted yesterday only
four feet from the crest of a
peak in the rugged ranges of
Superior, Ariz.
Darkness last night prevent
ed an air force helicopter and a
navy plane sent to the scene from
confirming the report, made by
Pilot Chuck Barnes of Phoenix
Meanwhile, a SO-plane search
continued for the three single
seat F4U planes, missing on a
ferry flight from El Paso, Tex.,
to Litchfield Park, Ariz.
Barnes said the wreckage was
"very recent" because it burned
holes in the snow which first
fell Wednesday, the day the
planes disappeared. Navy offi
cials said the area was in s
direct line with Miami and Saf
ford, Ariz., where ground wit
nesses saw the three planes fly
ing in formation.
The missing pilots were Lt

Men's Garden
Flower Show
A wide variety of blooms,
shrubs and vegetables went on
display Saturday afternoon when
the Salem Men's Garden club
opened its annual fall show. The
exhibition, being held in the
store room formerly occupied by
Sears at State and High, will be
in place through Sunday. Ent
rance is from the High street
side.
While early frosts damaged
some varieties of flowers, the
display of chrysanthemums, as
ters and roses is quite compre
hensive. Fuchsias are well re pre
aented, one of the three varieties
being in excess of six feet tall.
A number of commercial con
cerns are cooperating in the fall
exhibition with displays,
The vegetable portion of the
exhibition was small as compar
ed with the balance of the dis
play. f
Dozens of Czech
Priests Arrested
Prague, Oct. 22 W) Church
sources said today that commu
nist-directed police raids of the
last two weeks resulted in the
arrest of dozens of Roman Cath
olic priests and caused unrest in
some Czechoslovak communities.
These sources estimated that
more than 300 priests are now
in jail, most of them for oppos
ing the government's new church
control law which makes them
civil servants and gives the state
control over all church appoint
ments and financinl and admin
istrative affairs.
The police action against
priests, which was stepped up to
break resistance to the govern
ment's church control schemes.
was separate from the wide
spread roundups of small busi
nessmen which sent thousands
of middle class elements to pri
son and forced labor camps,

Forum Leader Harold
Bartsch, lumberman, elected

Chamber of Commerce this
week. (Curtesy Appeal Trib
une). City Folks Kick
On Egg Prices
Washington, Oct. 22 OI.Ri The
department of agriculture has
been getting letters from city
folks protesting the high price
of eggs.
All blame the government
price support program.
Under the program, the gov
ernment bought more than 2,-
000,000,000 eggs during the first
eight months of the year. The
eggs were in powder form from
drying plants in 12 states.
To protestors against high
prices, the department has this
reply:
1. If the government stopped
its egg buying now, egg prices
in cities wouldn't be any cheap
er.
2. The purchases are only ac
complishing what the law re
quires holding farm prices of
eggs on a national average at a
level equal to the mandatory
support level.
Since May, 1948, the govern
ment has had a standing offer to
buy at fixed prices all the egg
powder processors want to turn
over to it. The only condition is
that the processors pay the far
mer a floor price of at least 35
cents a dozen.
The government still is pick
ing up eggs under this 35 cent
support program. The protest-
ants are consumers who have to
pay 75 to 90 cents a dozen.
Allen to Be Envoy
To Yugoslavia
Washington, Oct. 22 W) The
United States is expected to
name Assistant Secretary of
State George V. Allen ambas
sador to Yugoslavia as part of
the western campaign to stiffen
Marshal Tito's resistance to Mos
cow.
Infodmed liplomatic officials
said Allen is Secretary of State
Acheson's choice for the key
cold war post now held by the
ailing Cavendish Cannon.
Allen is a former ambassador
to Iran. There he had two years
of first-hand experience in a dis
trustful neighbor country of So

relations between Iran and Mos
cow were particularly critical.

Alaska Salmon
Pack Very High
Seattle, Oct. 22 W Alaska's
1949 salmon pack was reported
today at the highest figure since
1944, but the dollar value was
off 17 per cent from last year's
record high.
The U. S. fish and wildlife
servcie reported the pack at 4.
375,147 cases, compared with
3,974,540 last year.
The value was computed at
approximately $80,000,000, com
pared with last year's record
$96,000,000. The value estimate
is on the basis of price to job
bers as listed by the salmon
brokerage firm of McGovern
and McGovern.
E. B. McGovern cited two rea
sons for the drop in total value
for the bigger pack: (1) general
reduction in salmon prices; 'or
example pinks were $23 to $24
a case a year ago and $10 this
year; and (2) a sharp reduction
in the pack of high priced
salmon and an increase in the
lower priced pinks.
The boost in the 194S pack
was in southeastern Alaska
where the final total was 2,511,
274 cases, compared with 1,283,
791 last year and l,090"6 in
1947. The southeastern pack
was 95 per cent above last year,
while the pack of other areas
dropped. The sharpest fall-olf
was in Bristol bay where tne
pack, which ended in August,
was only 563,020 compared with
1,316,168 last year.
There were 119 canneries op
erating In the territory this
year compared with 124 last
year and 115 in 1947.
2 Hunters Die
In Plane Crash
Klamath Falls, Or., Oct. 22
(IP) A duck hunting trip plan
ned by two well known San Ga
briel, Calif., hunters and their
Klamath Falls pilot ended trag
ically shortly after this morning
when the plane crashed on the
Clark Fensler ranch near Tule
lake, claiming the lives of two
men.
The third in Klamath valley
hospital here Is critically burn
ed.
Dead are; Claude Stephens,
pilot and Weyerhaeuser timber
company employe. valmont
Kittle, San Gabriel business
man.
Critically burned is John Har
vey Kittle, retired San Gabriel
resident.
Both Kittle and Stephens
were burned beyond recognition
and at 1:30 this afternoon their
charred bodies remained in the
plane, overturned in a drainage
ditch near the Fensler home.
John Kittle, thrown from the
flaming plane into the ditch,
was pulled free by Jack Fensler
and Herbert Kirby, who with Ed
Fensler, witnessed the crash
only about 150 yards in back of
the Fensler home.
Jack and Herbert ran to the
scene but were able only to aid
the one man.
The other two were clearly
visible in the burning craft.
One was still screaming and
fighting to free himself from
the flames. The other, his head
split open, appeared uncon
scious.
The committee proposed that
fraternity pins be allowed; haz
ing be banned; all meetings be
chaperoned, and open at any
time to inspection by a school
representative.

Lady Godiva's
Statue Unveiled
Coventry, Eng., Oct. 22 W)
Lady Godiva was undraped
again today and this time every
body watched.
The bronze statue of the fam
ous lady, who 900 years ago rode
naked through the streets of this
town, gave up her veils of Brit
ish and American flags in an
Impressive public unveiling cer
emony. Mrs. Lewis Douglas, wife of
the American ambassador, pull
the string that loosed the cov
ering as the bells of blitzed St.
Michael's cathedral tolled noon.
But Lady Godiva appeared sud
denly modest. The flags stuck
to her when the cord was pulled
and workmen had to prod them
down with long poles.
It was the first statue the
townspeople had ever had of
their historic benefactress. Leg
end has it that at noon one day
900 years ago she rode forth
naked in the streets, covered by
her own long tresses, to force
her noble husband, Leofric, earl
of Mercia, to lower the taxes.
On that occasion the towns
people went indoors to let their
beautiful lady pass unseen. But
one guy peeped and became the
almost equally famous peeping
Tom. The story has it that the
demonstration worked and the
taxes were lowered.
Everybody peeped today at
the 19-foot, two-ton statue of
the lady, riding side-saddle, and
slightly modest in her long hair,
standing In a new square which
had been blitzed out by Nazi
bombers in World War II. The
statue, gift of a local resident,
cost $56,000 and is the work of
Sir William Reid Dick.
Some hoped as they watched in
the cold drizzle, that this second
appearance of Lady Godiva
would mean lower taxes once
again.

Windy Storm
On Great Lakes
. (Br tht Associated PrejJt
Rainy, windy weather, accom
panied by sharp drops In tem
perature passed over the Great
Lakes region today and drove
eastward rapidly.
The storm was pushed along
on west winds which reached 63
miles an hour at Gladwin, MlJi ,
and developed 45 to 50 mile vel
ocity last night over northern
Illinois.
Behind the disturbance, tem
peratures were rising in the
northern Rockies and northern
plains after sub-freezing seiz
ures. The southern plains and
the southern Rocky mountain
region had one of the coolest
nights this fall. The mercury
reached 14 degrees at Otto, N
Mex., 15 at Eagle, Colo., and 27
at Garden City, Kans.
Texas tornadoes hit the north
ern edge of Abilene and near
Avery yesterday, killing a school
teacher, injuring four others and
causing damage to buildings and
power lines.
A heavy snow blanket, as deep
as 15 inches at Billings, Mont.,
remained in the wake of the
blustery disturbance driving
toward the east coast.
Last Bumps Off
Scope Mirror
Palomar, Calif., Oct. 22 W)
The last microscopic bumps on
the face of t h e 200-inch Hale
telescope mirror have been re
moved, and the giant star-came
ra soon will begin searching the
twin corridors of space and time
for events that happened a bil
lion years ago.
The big mirror, which pick
up pinpoints of light originating
more than a billion light years
away, will be coated with re
flecting aluminum before it is
replaced in the telescope tube.
(A light year is the distance
light, moving at the rate of 186,
000 miles a second, travels in a
year).
The coating may take three
weeks or it may require three
months, says Dr. Ira S. Bowen,
director of the Mt. Wilson and
Palomar observatories.

"We hope the telescope will

the end of next year, he said.
The mirror, essential part of
the largest telescope in the
world, was removed for more
polishing last May, after a year
of testing showed the outer 18
inches of its surface was as much
as 20 millionths of an inch too
high.
'It had been deliberately left
high because we had anticipated
some sag when it was placed in
the telescope," Dr. Bowen ex
plained. "When this sag did not
develop to the extent we had an
ticipated, we decided to do some
additional work on it."
Soviet Building
10 Rocket Sites
Vienna, Austria, Oct. 22 U.R)
Russia has built at least 10
rocket-launching sites along
the Romanian-Yugoslav borler
western diplomatic sources said
today.
The sources said their infor
mation came from "highly re
liable" informants in the Ro
manian army. The reports were
"double-checked" before beinb
accepted, they said.
The launching sites are equip
ped to handle rockets of both
the V-l and V-2 types devel
oped by the Germans shortly be
fore the war ended, the reports
said.
"Special food larders and am
munition depots also are being
built on the Rumanian side of
the Romania-Yugoslav border,'
the reports said.
"Men aged 18 to 65 are being
conscripted in these frontier
areas to build the depots as well
as fortification lines."
The reports said the Russian
work had been hampered by re
peated partisan attacks on sup
ply trains, presumably made by
Romanian adherents of Mar
shal Tito of Yugoslavia.
The Soviets also have trans
formed a number of Albanian
islands into submarine bases and
automatic torpedo launching
sites, the reports said, to out
flank Yugoslavia from the sea.
