Dr. Sword Talks
On Future India
If Nehru, India's top official.
now in this country is unable
iO give his people quickly those
things which were promised at
the time that country gained its
independence from the British
empire, they will turn to com
munism or socialism, predicted
Dr. Victor Hugo Sword as he
spoke to the Salem Lions club
Thursday noon.
Dr. Sword, interim pastor of
Calvary Baptist church, Salem,
missionary to India for 20
years states that India is making
great strides toward becoming
a real country. He states that
Nehru is extremely aggressive
and an astute politician who
was educated in England and
Russia.
Efforts by Dr. Sword to in
duce Nehru stop in Oregon prov
ed futile and the Indian repre
sentative passed over this coun
try yesterday en route to Se
attle.
The speaker said India was a
great producer of cotton, jute,
wheat and tobacco but is badly in
need of industrialization.
During the luncheon copies
of the book "World's Greatest
Doers," a story of Lionism, was
presented to representatives of

Nobel prizes today.
Japanese ever to be given a
cal physics at Columbia univer
sity. New York, since last Sep
tember. He was educated entire
ly in Japan.
Dr. William Francis Giauque,
54, professor of thermo dynamics
at the University of California,
was awarded the chemistry prize
for his studies in the behavior
of matter in temperatures close
to absolute zero. The world's
foremost expert on cold, Giauque
developed methods of his own
to create lower temperatures
than any scientist had ever at
tained before him.
Each award is 156.289 Swed
ish crowns (about $30,000).
The Swedish academy decided
to shelve the 1949 Nobel prize
for literature, because it was
deadlocked over the top candi
dates, including Winston Church
ill and Italian philosopher Bene
detto Croce. Thirty-five persons
have been nominated
Both Giauque and Yukawa are
so-called pure scientists, interest
ed in learning the secrets of na
ture, leaving the practical appli
cation of discoveries to others.
The academy's deliberations
are in secret. Churchill's candi
dacy presumably was based
largely on his two books of world
war II memoirs. Croce, 83, is the
author of many works on phil
osophy, esthetics and history.
The others in the final round
were not identified, but outside
observers had considered the
American novelist, William Falk

biographer of Lincoln to be
possibilities.

Government
(Continued from Page 1
An appeal similar to Gov.
Schricker's was made by Gov.
Adlai Stevenson of Illinois. But
Stevenson confined himself to
a plea to both sides for a quick
peace plan.
Minnesota's Gov. Luther W.I
Youngdahl also called for an end
to the strike, but he addressed
his appeal to President Truman.
"Your earnest efforts to bring
the coal strike to an immediate
end are hereby solicited,"
Youngdahl wired, "so that sub
sequent acute suffering in our
severe winter climate can be
avoided."
The only coal negotiations
that have been going on of late
between the miners union and
southern operators were brok
en off yesterday by the operat
ors. UMW talks with northern
and western operators ended
without result last month.
There are almost a million
men on strike in the coal and
steel stoppages. The steel strike
has been going on since Oct. 1
Lewis Again Appeals
John L. Lewis today asked
Governor Henry Schricker to
renew his effort for a separate
coal strike settlement in In
diana a proposal rejected by
the state's mine owners yester
day.
Such a settlement might break
the way for ending the nation
wide strike of 400,000 United
Mine Workers.

Federal Judge Claude McCuI-

The trial here was recessed
Tuesday to give Judge McCul-

Typhoon Kills
200 in Neqros
Manila, Nov. 3 UP) The Ma
nila Chronicle tonight reported
200 persons were killed or
drowned at Kabankalan, Ncgros
island, in the Philippine's worst
typhoon in years on Oct. 31.
The report, the newspaper
said, was given to the provin
cial governor's office by Esteban
Abada, a senatorial candidate
who came from Kabankalan to
day.
Previously 57 persons offi
cially had been reported killed
on Negros and Cebu islands.
Additional storm damage was
reported from the islands of Ley-
te and Mindanao.
In Manila the Philippines
weather bureau was asked to
explain to the president's office
why its storm warnings were 12
hours late.
10-Year Plan
(Continued from Pane 1)
For the type of projects to be
listed on the program Franzen
and committee members favor
special millage taxes rather than
bond issues for the reason that
they arc less burdensome and
avoid long-term indebtedness. A
'pay as you go" plan is pre
ferred.
Park development was dis
cussed Wednesday night in t
tentative way, and another con
ference on parks will be held
Friday night of next week. Most
of the talk was about Bush Pas-
ure park, but it was stressed
that the city is under obligation
to develop parks in other parts
of Salem, particularly Kay park
or some other area in the north
east part of the city.
Bush Pasture Park
As the first project for de
velopment for Bush Pasture park
it was suggested that the peo
ple be asked next May to op
prove financing for laying out
picnic areas in the park and
completion of seeding the
grounds. The suggestion, how
ever, was tentative and some
other development might be cho
sen. The manager said he be
lieved three picnic places could
be developed for use next sum
mer.
A systematic plan for overall
city development is necessary,
the manager said, because of
rapid growth of the city.
Looking ahead through the
next 10 years, the manager told
the committee that the city will
be in need of several small pub
lic buildings located at conveni
ent places. These should house
additional fire department sub
stations, needed with city ex
pansion, possibly a branch office
for collection of water bills, and
branch public library, the pur
pose being to save residents the
inconvenience of going down
town to transact certain busi
ness with the city. Also under
the same roofs could be small
community halls for the public
meetings.
Fairgrounds Proposal
Among city departments that
'will
have numerous projects
coming up In the next 10 years
the manager mentioned especi
ally the water and engineering
departments.
Mentioned in a general way
was a proposal that came from a
member of the Salem school
board that a deal be made with
the state whereby the State Fair
grounds be moved to a location
southeast of the city. The school
board would take over the race
track area for an athletic field
and utilize the grandstand, and
the fair board sell other parts of
the grounds to finance a new
State Fair plant. It was men
tioned that the grove lying be
tween the entrance to the fair
grounds and the railroad would
make a good public park.
