Offers Plan to
Combat Sex
Delinquency
Governor Proposes
3-Point Legislative
Curbing Program
By JAMES D. OLSON
Governor Douglas McKay
Tuesday proposed a three-point
legislative program to combat
sex delinquency in Oregon.
The governor said that while
his plan probably would not
j stamp out all sex crimes, it
would go a long ways in par
tially checking outbreaks of
atrocities. His plan would call
for legislative action to provide:
3 Point Program
"1. Psychiatric investigation
at the court level, to bring about
the recognition of these delin
quents for what they are;
"2. Provision for indetermin
ate committals to an institution,
instead of set sentences to the
state prison or confinement at
Hillcrest school for girls; the
state boys school or any of the
present wards of the state hos
pital, and
"3. Erection of confinement
facilities for this type of men
tality, exclusively, with security
measures provided of a scope
and type comparable to those in
force at the state prison."
New Approach Needed
Gov. McKay added that
through efforts of the last two
legislatures and the actions of
the board of control, the state
has made long strides in the
treatment of the mentally ill but
added that "the sex maniacs pre
sent a problem requiring an ap
proach all of its own."
Secretary of State Earl T.
Newbry will ask the board of
control to consider establish
ment of a separate institution for
psychopaths, patterned after
such an institution in New York
state. '
Newbry's contention is that
psychopaths are responsible for
many of , the sex crimes "but
they can't be placed in state hos
pitals because they are not in
sane." "Oregon has no place to put
this type of criminal," he said,
"until they commit a crime that
justifies a prison sentence.
Newbry added that an insti
tution such as he has suggested,
would protect society by lock
ing up these psychopaths before
they perpetrate serious crimes.

For Plane Wreck
Disposition of a light plane
which crashed near the Santiam
Junction last week waits word
from the owner with whom the
state board of aeronautics has
been unable so far to get in
touch. Civil aeronautics regula
tions require that all plane
crashes be reported and so far
this has not been done.
The plane is registered to
Russell H. Brown, Miami. Fla.,
and inquiry has been made there.
Brown and a woman were seen
to walk to the nearby highway
and board a bus for Albany but
there their trail apparently ends.
Only information available to
the state board here is tnat
Brown took off from a Portland
airport last Wednesday and

servicing. He commented here
that he was on a return flight to
Florida. The plane apparently
made a forced landing shortly
after leaving the Salem field.
Major damage was to the wings
and landing gear.

59 Varieties of Candy
By STEPHEN A. STONE
A candy manufacturing com
pany employing, in its present
location, 91 persons will locate
in Salem next March.
This definite announcement
was made Tuesday by the Cham
ber of Commerce, but for the
present the name of the con

be here to work on location and
plant.
The company, it is said, makes
59 varieties of candies and man
ufactures 15 tons daily, and 15
or 20 trucks are plying in and
out of the plant most of the
time.
To List Year Work
The bringing of this plant to
Salem will be one of the ac
complishments of the year re
ported at a joint meeting Tues
day night of the old' and the
new boards of directors of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Among other things in which
the chamber has ' cooperated
during the year, and been in the
forefront for accomplishment or
improvement, are airport better
ments, the federal Detroit proj

the Salem alumina plant, and
expansion plans of Oregon Flax
Textiles. .

Baby Killer
Under Arrest
Fresno, Calif., Nov. 22
ot-
An itinerant cotton picker, Paul
Gutierrez, 25, was held under
strong guard on a murder book
ing today for the vicious rape-
killing early Sunday of 17-
months-old Josephine Yanez.
Police said he gave them
statement, admitting he took the
baby from her parents' car and
spanked her, but contending
everything after that was
"blank" until he woke up at his
cabin later in the day.
Gutierrez was arrested yester
day afternoon, picking cotton in
a field six miles west of Huron.
It was near Huron, 40 miles
southwest of Fresno, that the
baby was taken from her par
ents' car, violated and thrown
face down in a furrow in a field,
her head shoved into the mud.
The parents, Ranch Worker
Joe Yanez, 29, and his wife,
Teya, 22, had gone to a Satur
day night dance to pick up Mrs.
Yanez' sister. When Josephine
began to cry, Yanez left the car
to go get his wife. When they
returned, Josephine was gone.
Searchers found her tiny body
Sunday night, a few hundred
yards from the dance hall. The
child had been stripped naked,
except for her bonnet and one
shoe. There were tooth marks
on her body. She had been
beaten. Her liver was lacerat
ed, indicating she had been
squeezed violently, officers said.
Silver Falls Timber
Holdings Transferred
By DON UPJOHN
Deeds filed with County Recorder Herman Lanke Tuesday
morning indicate transfer of the bulk at least, if not all of the
remainder of the huge timber holdings formerly belonging to the
Silver Falls Timber company but which have been under man
agement of the Cascade Operating company since the company
went out ot Dusiness.
The transfer with revenue
stamps indicating a considera
tion of about $189,000 cover
holdings in Township 8 which
parallel and also lie pn each side
of the old Silver Falls Timber
company logging railroad now a
county road called the new
Bridge Creek road in the eastern
end of the county. The deeds
from Cascade Operating
company to Longview Fiber
company.
Two deeds are involved, one
covers land paralleling the road
and lying in section 9 of town
ship 8 and the other lands lying

France Debates
German Issue
Paris, Nov. 22 OT France's
assembly opens a critical debate
on Germany today which may
decide whether the 24-day-old
government of Premier Georges
Bidault stands or falls.
The question is; Will the as
sembly support policies on
bringing . France's traditional
enemy back into the family of
European nations. These policies
were proposed by the big three
foreign ministers who met here
two weeks ago.
If the policies are defeated
Bidault will have to resign, leav
ing France once again without
a government.
At least 30 speakers already
are on the list to start out what
promises to be a bitter debate
of about three days.
Before the discussions started,
members of the government
were optimistic about getting a
generous vote of confidence.
But they may feel differently
by Friday, which the nation's
two biggest labor unions have
set for a 24-hour general strike.
The strike is over economic is
sues and union demands for
more pay but may have an ef
fect on some deputies' attitudes
toward the Bidault government.
It was this debate that cast a
shadow of uncertainty over the
deliberations of U.S. Secretary
of State Dean Acheson, British
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin
and French- Foreign Minister
Robert Schuman when they met
here recently to discuss the
west's overall policy in Ger

Battle Raging
In Philippines
Manila, Nov. 22 OT Constab
ulary headquarters reported to
night a big battle was raging
between communist-led Huk
balahaps and constabulary forc
es in Batangas province, about
60 miles south of here.
About 300 dissidents, using
mortars and machine guns; en
gaged two constabulary com
panies, the report said.
There was no immediate re
port on casualties.
Brig. Gen. Alberto Ramos,
chief of the constabulary, said
he would leave for the battle
scene early tomorrow.
The Hukbalahap (people's al
liance army against Japan) were
organized as left wing guerrillas
against the Japanese during-
their occupation of the islands.
In central Luzon they have been
pitted against the landlords and
the rural constabulary since the
end of the war.
President Elpidio Quirino,
who was re-elected on Nov. 8,
tried when he became president
to persuade the Huks to surren
der their arms. A very few did
but most took to the hills and
continued to clash with the con
stabulary. Court Rebukes
Bridges' Lawyer
San Francisco, Nov. 22 OT
In a long, scathing rebuke, Fed
eral Judge George B. Harris to
day threatened Vincent Halli
nan, Harry Bridges' defense at
torney, with a contempt cita
tion.
He declared Hallinan had
reached "an all-time low" in his
conduct of the Bridges case, in
which the CIO longshoremen
leader is charged with perjury.
He said his remarks constituted
review of the record as the
basis for an order and certifi
cate of contempt."
' Harris pounded his desk with
his fist as he repeatedly accused
Hallinan of lack of good faith
in disregarding rules and direc
tions of the court. .
He was bitter when he spoke
of H a 1 1 i n a n's "inflamatory
course of conduct."
The jury was not in the court
room. Mrs. Harris and Mrs.
Nancy Bridges, wife of the de
fendant, sat side by side in the
rows reserved for spectators.
Judge Harris' condemnation
of the attorney's conduct was
so bitter it surprised court at
tendants. But he assured the
attorneys he had approached the
matter "with a degree of care
and judicial aloofness."
The judge took most of the
morning session to cite the at
torney's conduct, page by page
through the trial transcript.

year-old girl's story of how she
had been led into selling herself
by the driver.
Monday afternoon, detectives
finally located the man who had
been a party to the affair. He
had been unknown to the girl,
and only an intensive probe built
on slim clues revealed his iden
tity to officers.
The name of the key witness
was withheld by police, but the
man signed a statement which
supported the girl's story. She
had previously told that Mur
dock had arranged for the meet
ing in a room and had received
$10, splitting the fee with her.
The new .arrest was the 15th
in the case, with Murdock previ
ously having been arrested for
statutory rape. The rape charge,
as in all the other cases, was re
duced to a charge of contribut
ing to the delinquency of a mi
nor. Another man is being
sought on a rape warrant.
The young girl was taken to
district court Monday afternoon
for a preliminary hearing on
charges against Terrle Conway
and Troy Crabtree.
Upon motion of Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Gordon Moore,
the session was closed to all but
the accused men, their attorneys
and court attaches,

once.
She was quickly hustled away
by Mrs. Nona White, county
juvenile officer, when the court
session ended.
Shortly after the district court
action, five others were given
suspended sentences in circuit
court.
The five men were Monte
Burkhart, Richard S. Taylor, Les
Hamrick,- Meyers Rbgow, and

sentenced to a year in jail, hut
the term was suspended. They
were placed on a three-year pro
bation and barred from driving

Recover 31
Bodies from
Plane Wreck
Dutch Transport
Carried 28 Jewish
Children and 7 Adults
Oslo, Norway, Nov. 22 (IP)
Police announced today they re
covered 31 bodies from the
wreckage of a Dutch plane
which had carried 28 Jewish re
fugee children and seven adults.
The police said a 12-year-old
boy was the only survivor.
There was only the slimmest
chance that there were any more
survivors, the rescue parties re
ported. The searchers found the twin
engined DC-3 transport after
searching since Sunday through
the dense forests of southern
Norway. It was lost en route
from Tunis, North Africa, to
Norway with the 28 undernour
ished refugee children, three
nurses and four crewmen. It
was an Aero Holland ship.
Smashed Into Forest
The plane smashed into the
forest, cutting a broad swath
through the trees. As rescue
workers came upon it, some of
them reported they could hear
faint, feeble cries.
' Several bodies were found
strewn about in the dense
woods.
The plane was found near Filt-
vet, a small town on the west
side of the Oslo fjord, about 30
miles from the Norwegian capi
tal. The nearest house to the
crash scene is almost two miles
away.
The child who survived was
taken to a hospital at Dram
men, 20 miles from Oslo, police
said and a doctor there was
quoted as saying the boy has a
good chance of recovery.

Russia Plans to
Take Over U.S.
Los Angeles, Nov. 22 (JP)
Paul G. Hoffman said today that
the Russian politburo is "plan
ning to take over this country
of ours in due course.
But communism's threat can
be1' wiped out, America's foreign
aid chief said, if the United
States remains strong and pros
perous and western Europe
achieves economic recovery.
In a speech prepared for de
livery before the student body
of Pomona college, the chief of
the economic cooperation ad
ministration (ECA) traced the
background of events leading to
establishment of ECA and the
Marshall plan.
Hoffman lashed out sharply
throughout the address at Rus
sian ideological, aims. He declar
ed that while American foreign
aid can help stem communism,
western Europe must also work
to provide economic and politi
cal self-help in which freedom
can survive.
At the end of World War II
Hoffman recalled, "the leaders
of this country saw only too
clearly that our freedom, our
own way of life was definitely
threatened by loss of our his
toric allies to communism."
Success of the Marshall recov
ery plan so far, he went on, has
turned the tide against the Rus
sians.
School District Survey
Over County Planned
A prospective organization for a general survey of districts
over the county leading to a possible reorganization of the pres
ent setup began to take form Monday evening at a preliminary
meeting of educators and others held on call of Mrs. Agnes C.
Booth, county superintendent.
The initial move will be to as
certain just how far Salem
school district plans to go in its
extension and addition of out
lying districts and this policy is
expected to be revealed at a
meeting of that board Tuesday
evening. Discussion was had of
this situation Monday night and
a general outline given, howev
er, subject to the board's action
Tuesday.
The next move, after Salem's
attitude is made plain, will be to
call together a group of laymen
with representatives from the
district boundary board,' rural
school board, county education
al board and non-high school
district board and out of these
it is expected a definite reorgan
ization group will be carved.
The objective will be to ex

Admit Vogeler
Held as Spy
Budapest, Hungary, Nov. 22
OT) Hungary announced today
it had arrested Robert Vogeler,
an American businessman, and
Edgar Sanders, a Briton, on
charges of spying and sabotage.
Vogeler is an assistant vice
president of the International
Telephone and Telegraph com
pany and its eastern European
representative, with headquar

sents the company in Budapest.
Hungary also announced the
arrest of Imre Geiger, managing
director of Standard Electric
Co., Ltd., of Budapest, a sub
sidiary of ITT. He, too, is held
on a spy charge.
The Hungarian foreign office
yesterday denied it knew any
thing about reports of the arrest
of Vogeler, who disappeared
Friday morning during a busi
ness trip to the Hungarian capi
tal. The Hungarian government
announcement said Vogeler and
Sanders had confessed to sabo
tage and spying.
(In Vienna, Vogeler's wife
said Hungarian agents had been
shadowing her husband. Reports
there said the files of the ITT

dation, partition or otherwise
as might be determined and go
into the question from the stand
point of advantages to the coun
ty as a whole as well as to the
individual districts.
The problem has arisen large
ly due to the rapidly increasing
schooi population of the county
which has left many schools
overcrowded, class rooms jamm
ed, equipment available inade
quate as well as a need for ad
ditional teachers. The primary
remedy in many cases is con
sidered to be consolidation,
at least a shifting of boundaries
in some instances. But the ob
jective is to determine on the
inadequacies and then on what
remedy should be applied and
take steps toward that end.
It is likely the reorganization
committee will not be worked
out until after the first of the
year.
Truman Urges
Cooperation to
Feed World
By Nations Working
Together Abundance
Of Supply Assured
Washington, Nov. 22 OT Pre
sident Truman today pledged
United States cooperation to
help "create an abundance of
food for all countries."
He called this "a major co
operative endeavor toward our
common objective of a stable
and peaceful world."
In a speech for the annual
meeting of the food and agricul
ture organization of the, United
Nations, the president declared:
"If by working together in
this organization, we can create
an abundance of food for all
countries, we shall bring better
health, longer lives, and greater
happiness to mankind every
where." Point 4 Program
Mr. Truman said the "point
four" program he presented in
his inaugural address last Janu
ary could be utilized to increase
production of foods in under
developed areas.
"Our experience, our know
ledge, our technical experts are
all available to you, and I hope
that you will continue to call
upon them as needed."
The president made no refer
ence to a proposal to set up a
world food bank, or clearing
house, as a means of getting sur
pluses from one area into anoth
er area where food is scarce.
The proposed world food bank
would have a revolving fund of
$1,000,000,000, most of it prob
ably from the United States.
Doubt that congress would be
ready to share heavily in the
originally proposed capital of
$5,000,000,000 promped the 80
percent scale down.
Major Problems
However, Mr. Truman de
clared"that the work of the FAO
centers around two major prob
lems. "The first is to increase the
production of foodstuffs and
other agricultural commodities,"
he said. "The second is to see
that those agricultural commodi
ties reach the peoples and coun
tries which need them."
The president expressed hope
the FAO spon will be able to es
tablish permanent . headquarters
in this country.
Its task, he said, "is central to
the whole broad effort to raise
living standards and achieve
greater freedom for all man
kind." He spoke, too, of the "agricul
tural revolution" that has been
taking place in the United
States.
Chilean Attacks
Soviet Policies
Lake Success, Nov. 22 OT
Russia was described by Chile
in United Nations debate today
as a super-capitalist, imperialist,
totalitarian, police state "with
nothing Marxist about it."
The sharp attack came from
Chilean Delegate Herman Santa
Cruz, whose country broke off
diplomatic relations with Mos
cow in 1947. Santa Cruz has
since led campaigns against Rus
sia over the Czechoslavak com
munist coup of February, 1948,
and Russia's refusal to release
Russian wives of foreign nation
als from Russia.
Santa Cruz spoke before the
59-nation political committee
which is considering Russia's
proposal for a five power peace
pact and a rival western peace
proposal based on the UN char
ter. The session was stormy. The
lead-off speaker, Dmitri Z. Man
uilsky, foreign minister of the
Soviet Ukraine, was interrupted
by Santa Cruz and Yugoslav
Delegate Ales Bebler with pro
tests against what they called
insults to their governments.
Manuilsky and Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky, in
turn, protested against some of
Santa Cruz's remarks.
Santa Cruz supported the 12-
point resolution sponsored by
the United States and Britain,
re-affirming the main principles
of the UN charter and calling on
all countries to live up to their
international obligations and
pledges.
