Churchill Urges
Red Recognition
London, Nov. 18 U-R Winston
Churchill urged in the House of
Commons Wednesday that Bri
tain and America speed at least
de facto recognition of the Chi
nese regime.
The wartime Prime Minister
denounced the labor govern
ment's policy toward Germany.
Regarding recognition of the
Chinese communists, Churchill
said, "we ought certainly to
have contacts with that large
area of the world. It seems dif
ficult to justify full diplomatic
relations with the Soviet govern
ment in Moscow and remaining
without de facto contacts with
its enormous offshoot in China."
He agreed, however, that ac
tion should come only after
consulation with the common
wealth of the United States.
He urged formal admission of
West Germany into the council
of Europe at an early date be
cause "1950 may well prove
critical year as to how the minds
of the Germans will turn.
Bobby-Soxer's Dream
) Of Hollywood Deflated
Los Angeles, Nov. 18 (UP) A
15-year-old girl who hitchhiked
across the country was held in
juvenile hall today awaiting her
sister to take her back to Wheel
Ing, W. Va., without seeing her
film heroes.
Alma Good was disappointed
that her long trip ended with
out her seeing two bobbv-sox
Idols, Farley Granger and Peter
Lawford.
She had plenty of fan maga
zine pictures of the two to help
Identify them if she ran across
the two. But she got lost in her
search here and was taken into
custody when she turned to po.
lice for help.
Her sister, Frances Ethel
Good, left Wheeling by bus to

Amendment Needed for
Tax on Coin Machines
Drastic amendment doubtless will be necessary fof an ordi
nance bill now before the city council providing for a license
fee on coin-in-the-slot vending machines.
The bill applies to all machines that are made to receive
coins of 5 cents or greater value. It makes no exceptions.
Machines are made to vend
soft drinks, peanuts, candy,
chewing gum, cigarettes, news
papers and postage stamps, and
also are attached to the lavatory
doors in the rest rooms of some
public buildings.
Machines that vend con tec
tions and soft drinks are to be
found in many of the public
schools of the city, in industrial
plants and office buildings. One
of the best-patronized is the
peanut candy machine in police
headquarters at City hall.
Several downtown business
places have postage stamp ma
chines that pay a profit. The
big one at the post office doesn't
pay a profit, and couldn't be
taxed by the city anyway, since
it is government-owned.
The bill provides that "a li
cense fee and tax in the amount
of $20 per annum hereby is im
posed on each coin-operated
vending machine which has a
slot for the reception of a 5-cent
piece or coin of greater value."
Licenses would expire Decem
ber 31 of each year, and for li
censes obtained after July 1 only
half the regular fee of $20 would
be paid.
The bill would not apply to
pinball and slot machines now
prohibited in Salem.
City Manager J. L. Franzen
said the bill did not originate
with him, and that he had made
no estimate of how much rev
enue it would produce.
Plane Wrecked;
Couple Walk Oil
Any landing that a pilot is
able to walk from is regarded
in aviation circles as a "good
landing," hence an unidentified
couple, believed residents of
Florida, made a good landing in
the Cascades near the Santiam
junction in that they hiked to
the highway and caught a bus
ride into Albany. Wreckage of
their light plane was found
Thursday.
The plane is described by state
police as an Aeronca Champion
No. NC 1B59 and is registered to
Russell H. Brown, of Miami,
Fla. The plane had been refueled
about noon at McNary field
where attendants were told by
the pilot that he and his wife
were flying from Portland to
their home in Miami.
State police have no word re
garding disposition of the craft
which has the fusilage and one
wing damaged. Several trees
were knocked down by the im
pact.
The exact location of the
wreck S placed about one-fourth
mile east of the junction just
off U.S. highway 20.

Freight Cars
Ordered by SP
Lebanon, Nov. 18 i") Rep.
Harris Ellsworth said he was
advised that the Southern Pa
cific railroad Thursday author
ized purchase of new freight
cars to relieve the shortage
plaguing Willamette valley
shippers.
Ellsworth said W. W. Hale,
Southern Pacific vice-president,
telephoned him from Chicago
where he is attending a board
of directors meeting, to say that
the board had authorized pur
chase of 1000 50-foot automobile
type box cars, 2000 40-foot box
cars, and 165 drop-end gondolas
which are suitable for lumber
shipment.
He said Hale told him this
brought to 20.530 the number of
new cars ordered by the S P.
since V-J day and total expendi
ture for rolling stock in that
period to $238,000,000.
All of the cars, he said, are to
be delivered within a year.
This, he said, was expected to
prevent a shortage from devel
oping late next fall the cus
tomary period when grain ship
ment demands conflict with de
mands from lumber mills. In
past years there have been mill
closures widespread two years
ago when lack of cars forced
mill men to jam their storage
space to capacity.
