More Trucks Available Next
Week for Hauling Leaves
t City Engineer J. H. Davil laid today the city probably will
have five trucks available next week tor removal of leaves from
the streets. At present only three trucks are on this work.
A written complaint has been
that "the city of Salem won t
up the leaves lying in the gut-
ters on the streets.
The city does not prohibit the
trucks of the Sanitary Service
company from picking up the
leaves. However, the company
makes a charge for the service,
and it requires that the leaves
be raked up in piles. It will re
move them either from the yard
or from the street. If they are
Shah Invited
To Visit Salem
A friendship that bloomed
during the war years between
the shah of Iran and "Buck
Smith, assistant coach at Wil
lamctte university, was renewed
Friday via the telegraph wires.
Smith, as U.S. military attache
to the Persian military academy,
who had a special assignment of
directing athletic activities, be
came well acquainted with the
shah during the war. He was
frequently a dinner guest of the
shah and is in possession of a
solid silver vase as a token of
the friendship.
When the shah came to this
country, Smith sent him a wire
inviting him to Oregon. Fri
day a return telegram came
which said:
"The shah has commanded me
to express gratification at the
receipt of your telegram wel
coming him to the United States,
His majesty regrets that his
itinerary does not permit a trip
to Oregon. He recalls with
pleasure incidents mentioned in
your wire."
It was signed simply "Ala."

Kiwanians Propose
Kids' Day Programs
By way of completing its
program of observance of "Na
tional Kid's Day," the Salem Ki
wanis club is urging participa
tion Saturday and Sunday in
"two simple, meaningful things
In your family." For Saturday
it is suggested that parents plan
some special activity that will
center around the kids, such as
a family party, picnic, or foot
ball game.
The club suggests that the en
tire family attend church Sun
day. National Kids day, based on
the premise that "kids are im
portant," has the backing of the
more than 3000 Kiwanis clubs
of the nation.

Fog Causes
Airport Bypass
Fog descended upon the Sa
lem airport early enough Thurs
day night that the northbound
United flight scheduled to stop
at 7:45 p.m. had to pass the city
by-
Also affected was the stop of
the cargo plane, which was to
have landed here early in the
evening to take-on southbound
air freight.
Still hovering close to the
ground and thick Friday morn
ing, the fog had not thinned
enough by noon to permit the
southbound morning flight to
stop here. Visibility until just
before noon was zero and by
12:50 was only one-eighth of a
mile.
Delayed in Portland until aft
ernoon necause fog blanketed
the Eugene and Medford air
ports earlier in the morning,
the southbound flight was slated
to make stops at Medford and
Eugene when i( left Portland.
At Eugene visibility was one
quarter of a mile and at Med
ford it was one-half a mile. The
Portland airport had been open
since early in the morning.

cember.
Harold McMillan of the Court
street firm of Goodwin and Mc
Millan, was nominated vice

10 Convicted in
Mass Rape Trial
Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 18
Convicted of the mass rape of a
mentally unsound young moth
er, 10 Tacoma youths today still
faced $150,000 civil court dam
age actions brought by the wom
an's husband.
The superior court jury took
only one ballot in finding nine
of the youths guilty of rape and
the tenth of attempted rape. The
defendants range in age from 19
to 23 years.
They were convicted of tak
ing part in an all-night sex orgy
May 27 with Mrs. Marie Charl
ton, 21, and later turning her
loose in the nude some miles
from her home.
The young woman died in
August at Western State hospi
tal, Stcilacoom, Wash., where
she had been recommitted be
cause of her mental condition.
Court officials said the jury's
verdict could bring terms up to
20 years or to life. The three de
fendants over 21 years all face
minimum five-year terms.
No date of hearing has been
set on the personal damage ac
tions brought by the attack vic
tim's husband, Pete Charlton.
His separate suits, totaling $150,-
000, allege that the youths' ac
tions deprived him of the serv
ices of his wife.

East Bus Line
Quits Service
The Roy M. East stages has
halted bus service between Sa
lem and Tillamook, the state
public utilities commission re
ported today.
But Oregon Motor Stages has
applied to restore the "missing
link" service between McMinn
ville and Tillamook.
The East firm, which obtained
a permit several months ago for
operations between Salem and
Valley Junction, meeting the
Tillamook run there, stopped
trips a week ago. The reason
given was lack of finances and
adequate equipment. East had
operated two round-trips a day
out of the bus Terminal here.
The commission said Oregon
Motor Stages has agreed to re
store its Tillamook-McMinnville
service if East could not conti
nue and has applied for permis
sion to take that step. Hearing
on the proposal will be held at
10 a.m. Wednesday in Portland.
Connections would be made
with other Oregon Motor Sta
ges schedules at both ends.
Efforts to get a direct bus ser
vice between Salem and coast
points have been ill-fated.
About a year ago John Ratz
laff moved toward establishing
Pacific Coast Lines to operate
between Salem and Tillamook
via all points between. It went
to a public utilities commission
hearing where it was opposed
by Roy East who had an appli
cation before the commission
for his Salem-Valley Junction
permit.
ine rtatziau permit was
granted and a few weeks later
the East permit was granted.
Ratzlaff quit operations some
time ago because of lack of pat
ronage. New Warnings on
Shortage of Power
Warnings are again going out
from the Northwest Power Pool
against the possibility of a pow
er shortage this winter.
The new warning is of a gen
eral nature. It merely says
that the situation is going to be
very close, and that failure of
i any major electrical operation
would cause serious inconveni
ence throughout the area.
Another bulletin with more
detail will be coming out in
a short time, Fred G. Starrett,

Large Audience
Salemites listened to a bril
liant performance of vocalism
last night in attending the con
cert of Licia Albanese, present
ed by the Community Concert
association for its second pro
gram of the season.
Dense fog did not keep the
crowd away, practically every
seat being taken as association
members streamed in, the con
cert being the first time for ma
ny local enthusiasts to hear, in
person, the singing of Miss Alba
nese who for several years has
been a leading opera star and
top radio guest-artist since her
debut in America in 1940.
In addition to a flawless voice,
the soprano is noted especially
for her dramatics in her singing,
and a highlight of last evening s
program was her performance
of Boito's aria from Act III of
"Mefistofele," the account of the
demented Margherita in prison.
The formal program concluded
with a dramatic climax, too,
Verdi's aria from Act I of "La
Traviata," a favorite with Alba
nese followers.
Especially appreciated, too,
was the group of encores vary
ing from love songs and spright
ly numbers to more of the opera
selections.
