Jordan Raised
Hell Over Cargo
J Cincinnati, Dec. 6 W Lt.
Col. J. D. McFarland o Cincin
nati, former engineering offic
er for the Alaskan Division, air
transport command, said in an
interview here today that for
mer Maj. George Kacey Jor
dan "raised considerable hell"
ver shipments of uninspected
cargoes to Russians from the
eir Dase at ureal uaiis, ivium.
! Jordan has claimed atomic se
Crets and materials were ship-
ped to Russia in 1944 and 1945
' Col. McFarland, who said, he
visited the Montana field "al
knost every two weeks" declared
Jie did not know whether Jor
dan's protests had anything to
Ido with his transfer from the
base.
J "There was an uproar at Great
, Falls about letting cargoes go
(through without inspection,"
Col. McFarland said. "But the
Russians wanted no U. S. army
control over their shipments and
every time there was a hot dis
pute, they telephoned direct to
Washington and won."
' He emphasized he had never
heard the names of former vice
president Henry Wallace or the
late Harry Hopkins mentioned
)n connection with the ship
ments. ! Col. McFarland declared he
knew Jordan "very well," had
een his diary in which Jordan
recorded incidents of uninspect
ed Russian shipments. He ex
pressed belief that Jordan "can
substantiate everything he's
paia.

Decision Has
Two-Way Effect
A two-way effect on unem
ployment claims of seasonal
workers is expected to follow
decision of the state unemploy
ment compensation commission
to allow separate "active
sons" for distinct employing
units operated by one concern.
While many of the 2,200 sea
sonal employes who have filed
claims since the start of the ben
efit year last July may be de
clared non-seasonal (with con
sequent lifting of restrictions
upon benefit payments), the
more immediate effect will be to
deny compensation to several
hundred cannery and other
workers during a few weeks of
overlapping off-seasons.
The referee's decision was
made last month in the case of
former employe of a Junction
City cannery. New restrictions
are expected this week when
workers laid off by a Woodburn
cannery will find that their act
ive season ended November 26
instead of December 17 as was
previously determined when the
firms two operating seasons
(Woodburn and Hillsboro) were
combined for benefit purposes.
Not until May 7, 1950, can sea
sonal employes at Woodburn
draw further benefits under the
decision.
Workers in 20 plants operat
cd by nine seasonal firms also
may be further restricted in
drawing benefits. In addition to
fish, fruit and vegetable can
neries, the new ruling changes
active seasons of a few poultry
packers and lumber mills.
He-examination of these
sonal" claims may bring changes
because of division of base year
earnings between two or more
employing units. Unless 75 per
cent of the worker s wage cred-
its come from one seasonal firm,
he is classed as "non-seasonal"
with unrestricted benefit rights
2 Liquor Board Clerks

Portland, Dec. 6 up) Two

United Plans
5-Cent Fare
Chicago, Dec. 6 OP) United
Airlines announced Monday it
plans to ask civil aeronautics
board approval of five-cents-a-
mile passenger fares on planes
carrying cabin cargo.
Harold Crary, UAL vice pres
ident, said the air line wants to
test the plan on one round trip
daily over its Chicago-Seattle
route and one in Seattle-Los An
geles service.
The proposed fares would
average about 17 percent below
standard fares. The schedule,
covering intermediate points as
well as full distance trips, would
set the Chicago-Seattle fare at
$96.50, excluding federal tax.
The Seattle-Los Angeles fare
would be $51.35, tax excluded.
The Salem United Air Lines
station said Tuesday that it was
doubtful that planes carrying
cabin cargo would make Salem
stops, but that they would be
making Portland stops.
Planes used in this type of
service would be the DC-4s and
passengers would take prece
dence over cargo. That part of
the cabin, not used by passen
gers, however, would be used foil
carrying cargo.
The service proposed by Unit
ed Is not the same as the coach
service offered by other airlines.
Passengers of UAL will still go
first class on this combined
service and will still have their
meals served on the plane.
The new service would mean
a reduction of from one cent to
a cent and a half a mile in the
fares charged on straight passen
ger service, and is only one cent
a mile more than coach service
offered by the other airliners,
which serve no meals in the air.
Directors for
Chest Elected
The eight members of the
board of directors to serve on
the Salem Community Chest
were elected during a meeting
held in conjunction with the
weekly Kiwanis club luncheon
Tuesday noon.
Persons new to the board are
William Entress, Dr. Brooks
Moore, and William L. Phillips,
Jr. Held over members are
Chandler Brown, Clair Brown.
Tinkham Gilbert, Mrs. Carl E.
Nelson and Carl Hogg.
AI Loucks, chairman of the
nominating committee for the
board of directors, explained the
method by which directors were
selected.
George Alexander president
of the board of directors, stress
ed the Importance of the com
munity chest in keeping alive
agencies that draw their finan
cial support from a central fund.
In view of the fact that the re
cent campaign failed to reach its
goal of $105,000 by some $11,000
it will be necessary for the bud
get committee to cut the appro
priations of the various agencies
accordingly.
The report of the treasurer as
given by Leo Page indicated the
chest spent $106,170 during the
fiscal year ending last Septem
ber 30, or $2,633 more than was
received. The deficit was made
up from an accumulated reserve.
This reserve has now been re
duced to $70.59.

NLRB fo Probe
Blacklist Cases
Portland, Dec. 6 VP) A na
tional labor board representative
will begin collecting statements
tomorrow in the Salem area
from witnesses involved in the
Salem trades and labor coun
cil "blacklist'1 case.
A hearing on unfair labor
practice charges against the
council will be postponed until
Jan. 24.
R. J. Wiener, NLRB examiner,
said the statements would be
taken from both labor and man
agement witnesses.
The case stems from a strike
against the Valley Concrete com
pany, Independence, and subse
quent placing of the firm's cus
tomers on the labor council's
unfair list.
Thomas P. Graham, Jr., rep
resenting the national labor re
lations board, will be in Salem
Wednesday to take depositions
from organized labor represent
atives and from employers in
the so called "blacklist" case in
volving the Salem Trades and
Labor council.
Herbert E. Barker, executive
secretary of the council, said he
had been subpoenaed to appear
at 10 a.m. at Room 214, Pioneer
Trust building. Barker said he
thought at least half a dozen
witnesses had been subpoenaed
from the Labor temple.
Jaycees Told of
Hoover Plan
Mark Hatfield, political sci
ence professor at Willamette
university, told members of the
Salem Junior Chamber of Com
merce Tuesday that 40 percent
of the Hoover commission rec
ommendations could be put into
effect without additional legis
lation.
In his noontime talk on the
plan to reorganize the executive
branch of government, Hatfield
emphasized, however, that most
federal departments were oppos
ed to the administrative changes
which would lead to more eco
nomical operation.
He pointed out that Herbert
Hoover, chairman of the com
mission, had said that one ex
cmption would lead to collapse
of the entire plan.
Citing various problems un
covered by the commission, Hat
field said that there were 13 fe
dcral hospitals in the San Fran
cisco bay area even though six
could handle problems there.
Yet, at the time of the study,
three more were planned at a
cost of several million dollars,
Many similar instances were cit
ed of overlapping costs.

Insane Escapees
Sought in Vain
Portland, Dec. 6 VP) The
search for the two criminal in
sane patients who escaped from
the state mental hospital went
into its fourth day today.
Police still were not certain
that they had any clues. Two
automobiles were stolen in
Portland yesterday, and police
watched roads on the chance the
insane men might have taken
them.
A relative of one of the pa
tients told police he. saw two
men attempting to steal a car
early yesterday and thought he
recognized one of them as Mar
ion E. Watson, 21, one of the
patients.
Both Watson and his compan
ion, Robert M. Burr, 25, were
termed dangerous by police. '
They fled Salem once before
assaulted a man near Milwau-
kie, left him for dead and made
off with his car. They were .cap
tured later at Los Angeles. '
They escaped with two others
Friday night after overpower
ing two hospital attendants. The
other two patients were arrest
ed within hours.

Lili Ponsell, the lone female

The chorus work, with a va
