Road Still Soft The county
court stated Saturday that the
road from Gates to Elkhorm ov
er the mountain which was grad
ed and partially rocked this year
will probably be too soft during
the winter time, in certain spots
at least, to use, especially on the
south side of the mountain down
to the Elkhorn road. Two or
three four-foot fills were made
and in another place water run
ning over the road has softened
it. The crew which was gravel
ling just got in two days on the
south slope when rains softened
the road so they had to quit
and it is doubtful if they will
be able to get back onto it again
before winter sets in for good
In impassable weather, they
said, two families will be mar
ooned on the south slope.

Taking Land for
Dam Power Line
Service has been had on the
Marion county court from the
United States district court of a
"declaration of taking" of cer
tain lands in the Detroit area for
use as easement for the Bonne
ville power line. Marion coun
ty is made a defendant in the
suit but H. William Thielsen,
property agent, says after a
search that no lands of Marion
county are involved in the de
scriptions given in the declara
tion. It is assumed the county is
included as the government is
taking no chances on not getting
a clear title by failure to over
look some county interest which
may possibly accrue.
Other defendants named as
Marion county land owners are
Mabel Maria and Carl Knutson,
Richard Frederic Nystrom, Os
car F. Nystrom, Anna K. and
George D. Jenkins, Eda A. and
George Stafford, Julia C. and
Louis Stafford, Ruby A. and Joe
Frichtl, Riley E. and Oliver F.
Huise, Florence Huise, Anna H.
Nystrom, Joseph P. Huise.
The county already has grant
ed certain easements for Bonne
ville power purposes serving the
Detroit dam covering lands in
that area.
The declaration says the Bon
neville power administration has
asked the attorney general to
institute condemnation proceed
ings. Salem Auto "Pinched"
Clyde Carlton, 39, of Salm,
found both ends of his automo
bile damaged this week in a
freak accident involving his car
while driving through Oregon
City. Carlton had stopped his
machine while a big semi-trail
er was being backed onto the
highway at Ninth street, block
ing both lanes of traffic. An
other semi-trailer collided with
the rear of his machine, forcing
it to crash into the backing
equipment and he was caught
between the two vehicles.

Giles L. French
Sfeelhammer
(Continued from Page 1)
French, who is on the interim
tax committee, will have a
splendid opportunity of meeting
members of the 1949 legislature
as well as potential members of
the next session, as the commit
tee moves about the state to
hold hearings.
Steelhammer claims consider
able support in the Willamette
valley, as well as scattering sup
port from other parts of the
state, and feels confident he can
win if he is returned to the legis
lature by Marion county voters.
It has been 30 years since
Marion county has had a speak
er of the house. In 1919 Sey
mour Jones was speaker and al
so presided over the 1920 pe
cial session of the legislature.
During the past 85 years only
six speakers of the house have
been elected from Marion coun
ty. The four men, in addition to
Jones were Frank Davey, 1907;
C. B. Moores. 1895: T. J. Gregg,
1887; Rufus Mallory, 1872 and
T. R. Moores, 1864.
Patterson and Engdahl
Marion county has not had a
president of the senate since
1885 64 years ago when Sen
William Waldo was elected to
preside over the upper house.
There are two avowed candi
dates for the presidency of the
senate, Sen. Paul Patterson of
Washington county and Sen.
Carl Engdahl of Umatilla coun
ty. The latter was a candidate
for president of the 1949 senate
but was defeated by Sen. Wm.
Walsh. Both of the candidates
for president of the senate are
already at work attempting to
line up the hold-over senators
and members who will be seek
ing re-election.
Should the democrats win
control of the senate they had
ten members in the 1949 session
the presidency would be in
their hands and Sen. Tom Ma
honey of Portland has the pledg
es of the majority of the 10 de
mocratic senators.
Bridge Bids Asked Among

Drama Guild
To Stage Shows
Some 10.000 bulletins adver
tising the coming Civic Drama
Guild series of plays to be staged
in Salem under the sponsor
ship of the 20-30 club were put
in the mail Saturday.
The three road shows which
will hit Salem on their nation
wide circuit are "The Heiress,"
"Fair and Warmer" and "Peg
O' My Heart."
The first of the three now on
tour after just closing a two-
year run at the Biltmore theater
in New York is "The Heiress."
It is scheduled to be held in
Salem high school auditorium on
November 12th.
It will have the same profes
sional cast which made it a
success on Broadway when it
comes to Salem for the Civic
Drama series. Critics in the
east have praised both the con
tent of the play and the per
formances. The story told in the play
which will lead off the group
in Salem deals with the daugh
ter of a wealthy surgeon who
is jilted by her money-seeking
fiance when he learns she will
be disinherited if she marries
him. The climax is reached
when the repentant suitor,
turning after the death of the
girl's father, is left standing in
the cold.
The play was the subject of a
feature story in a recent issue of
Life magazine.
Proceeds from the sale of tick
ets for the series will be devoted
to a 20-30 club drive for funds
to purchase playground equip
ment for recreation areas in Sa
lem.
Tickets for the three plays are
priced at $5 for reserved seats
and $3 for general admissions.
W. J. Sullivan, 295 Forest Hills
Way, is chairman of the club
program.

posed by District Attorney E. O.
Stadter who said that a "serious
crime had been charged" and
pointed out that the "law was
plain."
The charge against Everson
was based on a law prohibiting

Convicted Top Reds
Appeal to High Court
New York, Oct. 22 Oft For a trifling $5 apiece, America's 11
convicted communist leaders last
for freedom.
They were sentenced to prison yesterday by Federal Judge
Harold R. Medina. Their terms range from five years for 10
of the men, to three years for the
11th. All were fined $10,000
each.
They spent more than $500,000
fighting conviction during their
five months trial for conspiracy
to advocate overthrow of the U.
S. government. They lost.
Then they launched an appeal,
asking from the same govern
ment they so loudly criticized all
the legal rights of review that
the U. S. offers any condemned
man.
Their formal motions for ap
peal appear headed for the U. S.
supreme court. But it may be
months conceivably years be
fore the high court gets the case.
Normally the U. S. circuit court
of appeals reviews the case first.
As each motion for appeal was
filed last night, a $5 fee was
paid in accordance with the law,
Their last ditch fight for free
dom began less than an hour aft
er Federal Judge Harold R. Me
dina looked down on them from
his high bench and gave them
the maximum punishment for
their crime.
Medina spared only one. He
was Robert G. Thompson, who
got off with three years instead
of five. The 34-year-old New
York state communist chairman
won the Distinguished Service
Cross for gallantry as a U. S.
army sergeant in the Pacific war.
Judge Medina eased his penalty
because of this war record.

owner and formerly of Long Is
land, N.Y. Shoop's body was
found in an irrigation ditch near

captured near Portland, Ore.
Caught In Salem
A lead developed by Salem
city police resulted in the cap
ture of McEwen last summer
near Dayton Junction in Yam
hill county when he was arrest
ed in a stolen car.
McEwen had stolen the W. T.
Rigdon hoarse, leaving it wreck
ed at the intersection of Cheme-

was reported to state police, the
stolen Salem car was spotted
and the arrest made.
McEwen confessed to the
hearse theft, but a" subsequent
investigation showed he was

der charge and Marion county

Purges Loom
(Continued from Page 1)
Johnson, in his friendly but
uncompromising appearance be
fore the committee, said the for
mer civilian head of the navy
quit because
"Mr. Sullivan was not for
unification and would not sup
port unification.
"He submitted his letter of re
signation to the president a
day or two before I was sworn
in because I told him there was
no room on my team on the ci-
vilian side of the defense estab-
lishment for any person who
was not enthusiastically for uni
fication.
That brought a sharply-phras
ed denial from Sullivan, who
was in Boston attending a col
lege reunion.
In the first place, he said, no
one ever asked him to resign.
"I worked hard for unifica
tion while I was secretary of the
navy, he declared in a state
ment. "From outward appear
ances, it would seem that unifi
cation made more progress while
I was in the navy department
than it has since I left.'
From the testimony and the
house group's reaction to it, sev
eral things seem sure:
1. Johnson intends to keep a
hard hand on the throttle at the
Pentagon, and force through
whatever economies he can.
2. Congress will try to get its
foot in tiie door, at least to have
some say on allocattwv of funds
to the various services.
3. There may be a greater In
terchange of personnel among
the three services for better un
derstanding of the problems of
each.
4. The navy apparently will
not get the super-carrier it was
building until Johnson cancelled
construction.
5. The air force will continue
at full steam with its B-36 stra
tegic bomber program.
