Airfield Markers
Being Checked
mariters aim cuuifjuss iumvuio
at McNary field were checked
for accuracy and correct signals
this week by James W. Farrls,
airway flight lnspetor for the
regional office of CAA, Seattle
Farris used a twin - engine
Anient, which was installed the
past month, and is known as an
instrument landing system, even
though the localizor, glide path
and high intensity lights will
have to be added later to com
plete the whole system.
Both the outer and inner mark
ers of the system have a fre
quency of 75 mcgocyclos. In
using these markers the plane
equipped for Instrument landing
has a purple light that goes on
as it passes directly over the
outer marker and as it ncars
the marker It picks up a dot
dash on the radio.
The middle marker has a dash-
dot signal for the radio and as
the plane passes over this mark
cr an amber light on the panel
lights up.
Compass locators at each mar
ker (a homing facility) locate
the plane in relation to terrain
The locator at the outer marker
operates on 284 kilocycles while
the middle marker is 266 kilo
cycles. A needle on the instru
ment panel points to zero as long
as the plane is headed toward
the station. When the plane has
passed over the station the
needle makes a 180 degree turn.
United Air Lines' homing fa
eility, installed this fall for use
of the air carriers until the
ILS was Installed at McNary
field, will remain In operation
until CAA flight procedures for
the svstem in snlem have been
fctod and distributed to all

bv my husband."
Mrs. Thomas told reporters
her husband's resignation is in
the mails.
Thomas is 54. His wife Is a
little younger.
Federal Judge Alexander
Holtzoff gave an ear-burning
lecture to Thomas along with the
jail term and the fine.
He told the little man who
seven times was elected to the
house as a republican from New
Jersey that he knew he had a
good record in the first world
war and had done "much good
work" in congress as chairman
of the house un-American ac
tivities committee.
But, the judge said sternly:
"These can't properly be con
sidered mitigating circum
stances." '
In fact, he said, as chairman
of a congressional committee,
Thomas "had a duty to set an
example of upright living."
Holtzoff concluded:
"J. Parnell Thomas, it is the
judgment of this court that you
be imprisoned in an institution
to be determined by the attorney
general for a term of not less
than six months and not more
than 18 months, that you be
fined $10,000 and that you stand
committed until the fine is paid."
Britain to Buy
Prunes in U. S.
Washington, Doc. 9 (VP) Bri
tain will spend $2,000,000 in
Marshall plan funds for Ameri
can prunes and raisins and the
agriculture department will pur
chase for Britain another $2,-
000,000 worth.
The economic cooperation ad
ministration (ECA) said today
the purchases will be made un
der Britain's agreement to buy
perishable commodities here in
exchange for the right to use
ECA dollars in purchases of
Canadian wheat.
An ECA authorization a month
ago permitted Britain to buy
$2,000,000 worth of apples. This
sum also is being matched by
the agriculture department.
The British thus actually will
obtain $8,000,000 worth of sur
plus apples, prunes and raisins.
The agriculture department
Is authorized in the ECA appro
priation law to pay up to 50
per cent of the total cost of the
purchase of a surplus foreign
product by a Marshall plan coun
try, to encourage the export of
agricultural commodities.
The British will buy the ap
ples through private trade chan
nels. The prunes and raisins
will be purchased by the agri
culture department either from
present surplus slocks of the
commodity credit corporation or
new purchases by CCC.

gestion in the state, Slate High

Springfield business district.
Bischoff Tops
OnWeslSide
In the annual Oregon state
corn show held at Ontario, Mal
heur county, Peter Bischoff of
Silverton was top man for west
ern Oregon with a yield of 96.5
bushels an acre with Oregon
Hybrid 3-5-5.
But the state champion was
Robert Rcffert of Nyssa, who
produced the highest yield ever
achieved in Oregon 186.7 bush
els an acre, using Idahybrid
5-4-4.
Bischoff had previously won
top honors in the Marion coun
ty show at Central Howell.
In the Ontario show the west
ern Oregon 4-H club winner was
Ted Wilkinson of Albany, with
106.6 bushels. Don Bensel, Her-
miston, was high in eastern Ore
gon FFA competition with 177
bushels. Jerry Jeskey of Aur
ora was the western Oregon
FFA winner with 80.9 bushels.
Police Check
Policy Changed
A new check cashing policy.
outlined by Police Chief Clyde
A. Warren to relieve individual
desk men from personal liabil
ity, was placed in operation to
day at police headquarters.
"The past policy in regard to
the acceptance of checks by of
ficers charged with receiving
fines or bail was that each man
was held personally responsible
for the check," Chief Warren
explained.
"The result of this procedure
was that officers were reluctant
to accept any checks with re
sulting Inconvenience especially
during the night, the Chief continued.
Under the new regulations,
officers will not be held per
sonally accountable for rubber
checks, but they were directed
to exercise careful precautions
to cut down chances of taking
bad money orders.
Even under the exacting con
ditions which have prevailed,
officers took in approximately
25 bad checks each year. Vir
tually all of them were written
on accounts having insufficient
funds.
Wants Action on
Detroit Election Delay
Edison Vlckers, chief backer
of a proposal to incorporate De
troit, and leader in a light wag
ed in the courts to have an elec
tion on the incorporation of
Idanha being held today shoved
over so as not to be held before
a vote on the Detroit measure
December 13, has injected an
other bit of strategy into his
fight.
Friday he filed a "request on
behalf of a large group of citi
zens," asking the county court
to defer any action regarding
certification of either of the
elections, the one today for
Idanha and the one December
13, for Detroit until Wednesday,
December 14.
The court took no action on
the request, merely putting it on
the table.
The next move the court will
have in the premises is to can
vass the votes on the two elec
tions. It is taken for granted no
delay will be had by the elec
tion board for the Idanha elec
tion in getting its vote in for an
early canvass, providing the
move carries in the unofficial
returns.

To Ratproof
Salem Buildings
Rats are not only vicious and
unsanitary, but their athletic
ability is amazing, according to
the ratproofing bill that will be
on the city council calendar for
final action Monday night.
The bill proposes to ratproof
Salem buildings. Read it and
you discover some of the as
tounding things a rat can do. He
can, among other things, crawl
through a water pipe,, jump a
full yard, and fall 50 feet with
out a parachute and live.
As a general guide, says the
ordinance bill, "the following
capabilities of rats must be rec
ognized. Rats can:
"Gain entrance through open
ings which will admit a cylinder
of one-half inch in diameter.
"Climb both horizontal and
vertical wires which are not rat-guarded.
"Climb the outside of vertical
pipes, if the maximum diameter
of the pipe is three inches and
is not rat-guarded.
"Climb the outside of vertical
pipes of any size if the pipe is
within three inches of a wall or
other continuous support for the
rat, provided that such pipes
are not rat-guarded.
Climb the outside of vertical
pipes which are not rat-guarded
and which have a diameter of no
less than 1 V4 Inches and no
more than four inches.
"Jump either vertically or ho
rizontally a distance of 36 inch
es from or on a flat surface.
'Reach 18 inches in any di
rection.
"Drop 50 feet without being
killed.
"Burrow vertically in earth to
a depth of four feet."

Society for Salem
Organization of a Marion
County Historical society will be
the purpose of a public meeting
being called for Monday night at
the Salem Public library by
David Duniway, state archivist
and president of the Salem Art
association.
The meeting will be held at
7:30 in the Fireplace room.
While it was inspired mainly
by publication of a move started
by Mr. Duniway to preserve the
old Holman building at South
Commercial and Ferry streets,
it will be far more extensive
than that.
The old Holman building has
the distinction of having been
used for legislative sessions
from 1857 to. 1876, and is now
