Roads Require
20 Foot Paving
Conrad F. Paulson of the State
Finance company reported to
the county court Wednesday he
had advices from FHA represen
tatives in Portland in connection
with proposed paving improve
ments on public and dedicated
platted roads that a requirement
for an FHA loan is a strip of
bituminous macadam 20-fect
wide on such roads. A number of
the petitions received by the
court under the new law provid
ing for paving assessments
against abutting property on
such roads ask tor paving 18-
fect wide. Paulson said he
thought the FHA requirement
should be called to the attention
of the court and property own
ers so there would be no misun
derstanding.
The court showed him stan
dard specifications for a county
road are 18-feet for the width
of paving and he will send cop
ies of these specifications to the
FHA. The belief was express
ed if the FHA is apprised that
the 18-foot width is a county
standard it will relax its 20-foot
rule, at least the information will
be given with that hope in mind.
If the FHA, however, sticks to
the 20-foot requirement it will
probably be necessary for some
of the petitions already in to be
recirculated provided property
owners desire to secure the ad
vantages of FHA loans.
Y Rangers Frank Shafer, Sa

Farmers Union
Backs Brannan
Continued support of the farm
plan of the secretary of agricul
ture highlighted the annual insti
tute of the Oregon Farmers Un
ion here Tuesday with 80 rep
resentatives from western Ore
gon locals attending. Forums
dealing with major farm prob
lems will close the meeting Wed
nesday night.
The Young farm price support
bill recently approved by con
gress was branded by Lyle
Thomas. Dallas, state secretary
and Polk county representative
in the legislature, as a wartime
measure which "made the farm
er richer and worked to the det
riment of the small farmer." He
also contended that the Brannan
plan was more feasible because
it would have supported all farm
commodity prices instead of only
the six major crops. The meas
ure, he said, would have permit
ted prices to drop to normal lev
els while the new act would ar-
leader with Stanley Vogt, Den
ver, assistant director of the
national organization's education
program, discussing coopera
tives. Cliff Richards, also of
Denver, educational field work
er, outlined plans for the 1950
membership drive. A farmer-labor
relations panel closed the
session, presided over by Ronald
E. Jones, of Brooks, state presi
dent.
Offer Denfeld
(Continued from Page 1
Matthews said it will be up to
Sherman to determine what
shall be done about Admiral
Richard L. Conolly who now
holds the command offered to
Denfeld. He said Conolly has
been overseas for three years
and is "long overdue for
change."
It was too early to tell wheth
er the replacement by Sherman
of the ousted Admiral Louis E.
Denfeld would bring a smooth
and easy teamwork to the top
level job of working out the
strategy for war.
Sherman and Denfeld met for
15 minutes early this forenoon
with Secretary of Navy Mat-
thews at the Pentagon.
Presumably, Matthews called
in Denfeld to formally notify
him of his removal as chief of
naval operations. Aides said he
had not been told officially he
was out. He had reported as
usual at his old office today.
He and Sherman left Mat
thews' office, smiling and chat
ting chummily. They went down
the hall, entered the office mark
ed "chief of naval operations"
and shut the door.
But Sherman was one of the
original architects for the arm
ed services unification plaji. And
he told reporters after his new
appointment came through:
He still is 100 percent for uni
fication, expects no difficulty in
Retting along with other mem
bers of the policy-making Joint
chiefs of staff and is "sure the
navy will give me the support
and loyalty they have given all
my predecessors."
Yet within the navy and con
gress there still is a certain bit
terness over the ousting of Den
feld and over the way the whole
defense set up is working.
Twin Dakotas Have
60th Anniversary
Pierre, S. D., Nov. 2 UP)
The twin states of North Dakota
and South Dakota are 60 years
old today.
It was on Nov. 2, 1889, that
the pen of President Benjamin
Harrison sliced in two the 28
year old Dakota territory. The
twins became the 30th and 40th
states admitted to the union. No
one, including the president,
knew which document he sign
ed first, since they were shuffled
and covered with a newspaper.
Interest Manilest That inter
est is running high in the Detroit
area over the possibility of hav
ing another vote on the matter
of incorporation there into a mu
nicipnlity is shown by the fact
that since the same question was
voted on in October 114 regis
trations have been made by pros
pective voters, Edison Vickers,
one registrar, sending In 61
names and Mabel Parker, the
other registrar, 53 names. An
other election is called for De
cember 13, subject to the district
attorney's approval of the peti
tions. Club Will K.lecl The first fall
meeting of the Frultland com
munity club has been set for
Friday night, November 11, at
the school house with lunch to
be served, proceeds going to the

be elected and a program pre
sented under the direction of
Norman Geydisen, president.

Grant of $2600
To
The board of directors of Re
search Corporation in New York
City has awarded Willamette
university a grant of $2,600
known as the Frederick Gard
ner Cottrell grant.
Announcement of receipt of
this fund was made today by G.
Herbert Smith, president of the
university.
The specific project at Wil
lamette which the grant will
support is "Experimental Stu
dies of Weak Electrolyte Moving
Boundary Systems." This is the
study of complex chemical com
pounds such as proteins, which
are weak electrolytes. The ven
ture will make for a better un
derstanding of the simpler sys
tems as an aid in the interpre
tation of experiments involving
these complex compounds.
Dr. J. C. Nichol, associate pro
fessor of chemistry at Willam
ette, will direct the research
with chemistry students assist
ing. Probable duration of this
study is two years.
Willamette will have full re
sponsibility of disposal of any
inventions or patents which may
grow out of this research. After
at least six months, if satisfac
tory progress has been made on
the project, a renewal of the
grant may be considered.
Dr. Nichol was formerly in
structor in elementary organic
chemistry and organic qualita
tive analysis at the University
of Alberta, having come to Wil
lamette this fall. He received
Bachelor of Science and Master
of Science degrees from the Uni
versity of Alberta. In June of
1948 he graduated with a Ph. D.
in physical chemistry from the
University of Wisconsin.
Dr. Nichol has previously
worked on war research In or
ganic chemistry and research on
cancer compounds at the Uni
versity of Alberta.
One of the main objects of
starting chemical research at
Willamette is to give chemis
try students here a chance to do
research. It is planned that they
will receive course credit for
their participation in the pro
gram. Lewis Offers

emergency coal needs by ration
ing existing stocks held by steel
companies and other manufac

one more in a series of lndica
tlons that the UMW chief might
be angling for a quick peace.
