Governor Douglas McKay told
the board that T8 young men
who were granted paroles by the
state parole board months ago
are still confined in the prison
because jobs are not available
for them.
"I realize that there are many
outside of the prison who are
unable to find jobs," the gover
nor said. "However, it is cost
ing the state money to keep
these men, all of whom the
parole board feels are entitled
to another chance."
Confirmation of the appoint
ment of County Judge T. A,
Power of Jefferson county as a
member of the advisory commit
tee for the boys and girls schools
was made by the board. Under

named to the board.
An amendment to the law at
the next legislature authorizing
the association to appoint a
member on the committee was
suggested by William Ryan, su
pervisor of institutions. Ryan
said that the yearly changeover
in membership would thus be
avoided. He told the board
that the association favored the
change.

Jordan said he telephoned his
superior officer, a Colonel Gltz-
inger, at Wright Field, Dayton,
Ohio, and asked him about the
equipment.
Good God," Jordan quoted
Gitzinger as replying. "Don't
tell me they got radar equip
ment. Rip it out."
The former officer said he
complied. Three other planes ar
rived en route to Russia with the
same equipment, he said, adding
in each case "I ripped out the
radar.
'General Arnold (Gen. H. H.
Arnold, then chief of the army
air force) would just as soon
have given away his right arm
as that radar," Jordan declared.
However, a fifth plane took
off from Washington with Maj
Gen. A. I. Velyaev, chief of the
Russian purchasing mission
aboard, Jordan said.
"He got into the plane," the
former officer said, "and I heard
later that he dumped out in the
grass at the end of the runway
all the other unnecessary equip
ment and baggage and took off.
Instead of landing at Great Falls,
he went on to Russia and that's
how I missed him."
Jordan said the Soviet gener
al's departure from Washington
was reported in newspaper sto
ries and picture.

E. Eades,
Druggist
istr Die
Guy Elmer Eades, who learned
the drug store business here in
1908 and later operated his own
pharmacy at The Dalles, Ore.,
for 31 years, died here Monday
at the age of 85.
Eades was born July 4, 1884,
in California, but his family
moved to Jefferson, Ore., when
he was still a baby.
He started working at the old
American Red Cross drug store
here in 1908.
He and Mrs. Bessie B. Eades,
who survives him, were married
January 2, 1910, at Hopewell,
Ore. They moved to Portland
where Eades operated a drug
store for several years before
going to The Dalles. Eades re
tired in 1947 and he and his
wife moved to Salem.
He was a member of Elks
lodge 303 and the AF & AM
lodge, both in The Dalles, and
of Chadwick chapter 37, OES,
in Salem.
Surviving him besides his
widow are two sisters, Mrs.
Zona Fredencksen of Eugene
nad Mrs. Lena Tecker of Jeffer
son.
Funeral services will be held
at 3 p.m. Wednesday in the W.
T Rigdon chapel, with rtiual
istic services by Salem lodge 4

in Belcrest Memorial park The
Hev Lloyd T. Anderson will

Wallace Eyed
montimtea irom page 1)
And tomorrow Wood's com
mittee will question Gen. Leslie
Groves, retired, who ran the
wartime atom bomb project.
Committee officials said there
may be 40 or 50 additional wit
nesses. But there is no indica
tion yet when Wallace might be
called.
Broadcaster Fulton Lewis, Jr.,
said last night that it was Wal
lace who "ordered the atomic
materials sent to Russia" over
Groves' objections.
"Sheerest fabrication," Wal
lace retorted from New York.
His charges were called "out
rageous" last night by Mrs
Franklin D. Roosevelt, widow
of the president.
"I cannot imagine Mr. Hop
kins trying to hurt his country
when he literally killed himself
for it," she said when asked for
comment. "I have never met or
heard of Mr. Jordan, but if you
look far enough you will find
someone who will find fault
with anyone.
"I can believe, however, that
Mr. Hopkins exchanged certain
information with Russia, as they
were doing with us, but cer
tainly not without full know
ledge of our military leaders.
Mr. Hopkins cannot fight back
He is dead."
While he was stationed at
Great Falls air base during the
war, Jordan said, Hopkins told
him personally by telephone to
hurry up atomic shipments to
Russia and keep quiet about it.
The son and numerous former
associates of the wartime lend
lease administrator scoffed at
Jordan's story. Louis J. Russell,
senior investigator for the house
committee, said he knows of no
evidence involving Hopkins in
the atomic shipments.
Idanha Election
(Continued from Page 1)
Senator Tom Mahoney, attor
ney for the plaintiffs, admitted
the oversight and asked that the
complaint be amended to name
Stadter as relator. In response
to a question from the court
Stadter consented to the change
and use of his name in this re
gard. He declared in doing so
he was acting only because a
question of great public interest
is involved. He said nothing in
reply to Carson's charges as to
his appearing, ostensibly, on
both sides of the complaint, and
lending his name to a complaint
charging the county officials
with acting in "an arbitrary
and unlawful manner " while he
also was their legal adviser
The Carsons also made fur
ther assertions that the latest
complaint was not on sound le
gal grounds. They contended
that the issue involved is pure
ly a political matter, that the
county court in calling the elec
tion did so purely in a minis
terial capacity, that the ballots
have been sent on to the elec
tion board and the court has
completed all of its functions
and cannot be enjoined as there
is nothing further to enjoin
them against.
The latest demurrer inter
posed also alleged a defect in
parties defendants charging that
the plaintiffs failed to include
the members of the election
board as defendants.
They also disputed a charge
in the complaint that in event
both proposed incorporations of
Detroit and Idanha carried there
would be a duplication of taxa
tion and regulation asserting
that the law in Oregon is that
there cannot be two lawfully
organized bodies of the same
type having jurisdiction over the
same area. It was asserted the
matter was not for the injunc
tive process to determine, but
to be determined by legal ac
tinr, when, and if, both of the
Guy
proposals carry.
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore..
Salem Heights Wafer Votes
Said Illegally Rejected
Twelve ballots which had been ruled out by the election of
the Salem Heights water district election Monday because an
"X" had not been placed in front of a write-in candidate evi
dently should have been credited to Glen C. Wade, of the Liberty
district, and place him on the board of directors instead of
A. W. Blankcnship who was de--
clarcd elected Monday night.
Thirty-three ballots were cast
at the election at the Salem
Heights school with Blanken-
ship, the only printed candidate
on the ballot, receiving 14 and
Wade, a write-in candidate, the
remaining 19 votes.
Only seven of the Blankenship
write-ins had the "X" placed be
fore his name and because of
this, after attention had been di
rected by Chester Skelton, jan
itor at the school, the remaining
twelve were disregarded. Skel
ton in pointing out that a write
in candidate must have an "X"
marked by the name apparently
is in error.
Dave O'Hara, in charge of the
elections for the secretary of
state and a recognized authority
on Oregon election laws, said
this morning that writing in
the "X" is not necessary and he
nas Been unable to find any
authority to the contrary. In ad
