Naval Air Pilots
Make 16 Hops
Naval Air Reserve pilots got
in 25.1 hours of flying time at
the Salem Naval Air facility
during the past week-end, which
was the week-end assigned to
pilots from the Salem area.
During the two-day period 16
hops were made by 17 different
pilots. Sunday all of the planes
from the facility were in the air.
Bad weather limited flying to
only one hour Saturday. Dur
ing that time six pilots got in
three hops for a total of 2.8
hours.
Sunday the pilots made 13
hops with 11 pilots flying. To
tal hours for that day were 22.3.
To date the facility has clear
ed a total of 39 pilots for fly
ing. This included not only men
from the Salem area but those
from Portland outfits and from
the Corvallis unit.
Holiday time will reduce the
flying considerably during the
month of Decembor with the fa
cility secured a half day Decem
ber 24 and all day December 25,
26 and 27. The following week
end the facility is to be closed
to flying January 1, 2 and 3.
Timber Sale
(Continued lrom Page 1)
'I believe that the timber is
valued at more than our old ap
praisal of $200,000," Cronemiller
said.
County Judge Grant Murphy
urged action on the sale telling
the board that inasmuch as
portion of the money derived
from the sale would go to the
county, he favored the most fa
vorable sale possible.
It was agreed by all present
that the timber in the area was
mature and should be logged.
The area in which it is located
is exceedingly rough and Con
verse said that some of the state's
timber could not be logged.
Gov. McKay, following the
adoption of a motion by the
board, named Floyd Hart, Med
ford; Albert H. Powers, Coos
Bay, and Leo Hahn, Antelope, as
committee to negotiate with
Converse for joint use of the
right of way. In the event the
negotiations fail the committee
is empowered to institute con
demnation proceedings.
Just before the close of the
discussion a representative of
the Vancouver Plywood and
Lumber company told the board
that his company had a right to
use the road into the tract and
therefore there would be two
substantial bidders.
'That wouldn't be competi
tive," said Gov, McKay. "It
would be fine for you fellows
but how about Joe Doakes who
might bid and then find no ac
cess road in which to get out
his timber? " ,

Ward Parly
(Continued from Page 1)
That message, the consul said,
shorn of any mention of the con
sulate as a diplomatic agency,
marked the beginning of a year
long period of confinement to
compound, eventual arrest, trial
and conviction of "trumped up"
charges of beating a Chinese
consulate employee.
Trial a Travesty
Ward declared flatly that his
indictment and conviction ba
sis for red expulsion of his group
was a travesty. He was
charged with beating a Chinese
employee. Four aides were con
victed of similar charges.
Ward didn't even know on
what charge he was jailed until
"a poor English translation" of
an indictment was read in court,
"No Chinese employee was
beaten, despite the fact the pros
ecution produced 15 'eyewit
nesses'.
His movements in Mukden
were made under constant, un
relenting restrictions:
"I haven't moved, except im
der guard, since Nov. 20, 1948.'
He was permitted to go only
to the consulate building and the
Standard Oil Co. compound
where consulate employees lived.
Ward said "No Americans that
we know of remain in Man
churia."
25 Qualify for First
Aid Instructors
The state industrial accident
commission reported today that
38 men on its field staff quali
fied as first aid instructors after
completing a course here Satur
day. The course was instructed by
Carl Ross, area representative
from the San Francisco office of
the Red Cross.
Commission officials said that
distribution of the field men
gives nearly all Oregon counties
access to a first aid instructor,
although the first duty of the
s.aff is to industry and work
men. The field men will provide
instruction for key individuals
in industrial plants throughout
the state.

Delay Count on
Idanha Votes
Called to the state house on
other matters Monday morning
the Marion county court delay
ed making official canvass of
the ballots on the Idanha incor
poration election held last Fri
day at which unofficial returns
show the proposal carried by
190 to 8.
Before the court remained the
request of Edison Vickers, cham
pion of the Detroit incorpora
tion project to be voted on De
cember 13 asking that certifica
tion of either or both of the elec
tions be postponed until Decem
ber 14.
There were evidences Monday
that the court was split on the
question of whether it would ac
cede to the Vickers' request. At
least one member felt favorable
to counting the ballots at the
earliest moment the court can
get to it and go ahead and cer
tify to the results of the election
and let the chips fall where they
may. Another member was ex
pressing an inclination to per
haps delay the matter to De
cember 14 as requested by Vick
ers "in a spirit of fairness."
The third member was offering
no definite expression but seem
ed inclined to go ahead with the
ballot counting and getting the
matter finished up.
It was possible the ballots may
be counted Monday afternoon
and a decision reached as to the
certification.
