Morale was good and "shen anigans" among dealeri and salesmen were few. The report covered the cor poration's fiscal year, ended last June 30. It showed that the number of domestic corporations organized for profit on that date totaled 6,005, an increase of 352 over the number of record June 30, 1948, the previous record high.

The department's receipts for the year ended last June 30, reached a hefty new record total of $467,898.68. That compared with $438,858.68 June 30, 1948 and $303,811.70 June 30, 1944. Because of the need for more help to handle the Increasing business, expenditures also went up, reaching $67,888 for the year ended last June 3u, compared with $54,078 for the previous year. Hudson stilted in his report: "The field of securities In vestment in Oregon was increas ed in breadth and Importance with the present growth of in dustry and population within the state." Noting that his department, besides examining securities for the purpose of registration, also supervises registration and activities of dealers and sales men, Hudson said: "Instances of misconduct by registered dealers and salesmen have been few, but such as have occurred were Immediately re ferred to the appropriate district attorneys and indictments lot lowed." The savings and loan activi ties in Oregon have shown a healthy advance, said Hudson. He stated: "In spite of predictions by mait business indicators of a downward trend, savings and loan associations have shown a healthy, conservative increase in both savings certificates and total assets.

Lebanon Area Seeks Merger Lebanon A petition seeking exclusion of a small area from proposed annexation to the city at the election on Nov. 22, was refused by the city council at the meeting this week. The pe tition represented 21 small property owners on the north west edge of town. The petitioners pointed out that they lived on plots of ground from one-half to two acres, engaged in small farming and did not feel they were need ed in the area to be annexed. The council, however, after con sideration, went on with plans for conducting a vote in the en tire area originally described as the Strawberry precinct. A resolution of the council shifted monies from the building sinking fund to the civic im provement fund. Directions were also given the public im provement committee to study the advisability of pouring ce ment sidewalks on public prop erty within the city limits. Approval was given the report of Fire Chief Elmer Fitzgerald, who announced only two fires of consequence during the month. It was termed one of the finest reports in several years. Summary of Chief of Police Cliff Price's report showed a very small number of arrests, and only a few for major viola tions.

This was the message given Cordon to Oregon Republican ner In the Chamber oi wm merce Friday night We must replace a govern ment of rjaternalism, that if con tinued, will in the end rob the people of this nation oi tneir in herent rights and freedom" h said. Don Eva. of Portland, vice chairman of the convention com mittee as toastmaster, first in troduced all at the speakers- tables and then selected promin ent workers from the floor for in troduction. The meeting was op ened with invocation by the Rev George Swift, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, Salem. He then introduced me principal speaker. Senator Cordon declared that the United States was the land of promise to which people sailed in little ships irom me oia world, people who sought free dom. 'Our country" he said "was the only one in world's history where the individual was free where a government was set up by the people, a government that was a servant of its crea tors." He told of the tremendous material advances made in the United States, advances far in excess of anything in recorded history. And he held that these advances had ben made even though the older countries had the same opportunities in talent, universities and science, only because the minds of the people of this land were free. "Every person in this land knew he could create and keep what he had created" said Cor don. "He knew he would not be lashed" The Christian relig ion found a land where people could worship in accordance with their consciences. Warning of the menance of subversive groups, Cordon de clared that there were people in this country today who would destroy all, from the church to the schools, from the police court to the highest court, and from the village council to the houses of congress. And they are endeavoring to do this by chicanery, trickery or any other means known" he said. Cordon said that for a long Deriod of time the United States had nothing to think of but it self. But, he added, we came out of the second world war the leading nation in the world, the only nation solvent and the only nation with productive capacity not alone for itself but for much of the world as well. "We cannot make any changes. even in domestic attairs today without its repercussions felt around the world" he said. He told the 300 diners the re publication party must chart its course with all the wisdom, all the patriotism, all the ability that all our souls are capable of and thus carry the torch of freedom forward. He held that the republicans were faced with the challenge of bringing a return of that sort of a government pictured by Abraham Lincoln a government of the people, by the people and for the people and not allow this country to be run by the whim or caprice of any man, any dic tator or any group that strived for statism. "Let us go forward as free men," he added, "without sacri ficing the right to say yes or no." Sen. Cordon said he had heard a great deal about the republi can party's need of being con structive and not opposing the other side. "But" he asked "how are we going to be for a free America and not be against slavery? How are we going to be for free enterprise and not be against socialism."

"Freedom to write and send nothing if you can't get the you news," Allen, a Pulitzer prize winner, told the 16th annual meeting of the Associated Press Managing Editors association. "Any Pole who becomes friendly with an American or any representative of the west ern press soon vanishes," Allen said in an address prepared for delivery this afternoon. When the government is ask ed what's happened, the answer is: 'They were arrested, but not because of their association with you. They were arrested be cause they were connected with the underground or engaged in anti-state activity.' " Allen told of wretchedness in Poland poverty and fear and snort rations. "If I had my way, any man in America with communist lean ings would be given transporta tion to Poland or any other communist-held country and forced to stay a year," he said. "I guarantee that man would come back to America and kiss the ground he walks on, If there Is to be a war with Russia, Allen thinks it will come by the end of 1952. "I have three reasons for thinking this. By that time, Russia will have a supply of atomic bombs. Secondly, the Russians feel that Americans are disunited during any presidential- election year. Thirdly, the Russians believe that Marshal- plan aid will run dry about that time. They thing we can't keep on pumping money into Europe. When our financial aid to Euro pean countries is at an end, it will be much easier for them to step in and take over." Allen is one of two AP foreign correspondents to address the convention. Seymour Topping, formerly AP correspondent in Nanking and recently attached to the Hong Kong bureau, will speak Saturday, final day of the meeting. Special electric cables have been developed for use in hot beds.
