J built to replace a 45-foot struc-

Idanha Vote Uncounted:
Ballot Boxes Locked
Official certification by the
election to incorporate Idanha held December 9 was at an
impasse Tuesday morning as the election board had locked and
scaled into the ballot box their tally sheet and under the law
the box cannot be opened without a court order.
A hurried consultation Mon-
day afternoon between Allan
Carson, attorney for the Idanha
interests, Ed Stadtcr, district at
torney and David O'Hara, state
elections expert, brought the in
formal conclusion that the coun
ty court, being the body which
called the election could issue an
order to open the box. But
County Judge Grant Murphy,
when also being advised that
probably the election board it
self could come here and open
the box, or send down an extra
tally sheet, said there would be
no court order at present. It was
expected some time Tuesday the
election board or representative
might show up with a tally sheet
or to open the box. If it doesn't
until such time as a tally sheet
shows up, or it becomes essential
by lapse of time the court does
issue an order to open the box.
However, whatever is the dis
position, it was likely Tuesday
that the Idanha election results
will be counted first.
Detroit is balloting on the
question of its incorporation
Tuesday with some overlapping
territory in the Idanha area be
ing involved.
If the Detroit election should
fail then all of the controversy
which has b een waging for
weeks will be automatically set
tled and Idanha can start oper
ating as a municipality as soon as
the formalities are taken care
of. Unofficially it voted 190 to
8 to incorporate.
However, if the Detroit elec
tion carries then both votes must
be canvassed with the likelihood
Idanha will be first. What turn
the situation will then take re
mains to be seen.
Chest Articles Filed Articles
of incorporation for Mt. Angel
Community Chest have been fil

nard Fisher, Loretta Dehler, Jo
sephine Lulay, C. J. Butsch, John

county court of the results of the
n
lomroi board
(Continued from Page 1)
The board authorized L. L.
Laws, superintendent of the state
flax plant at the penitentiary, to
engage the services of a flax ex
pert to assist in a planting and
marketing output for the entire
industry in the state.
Hiring of Dr. Harvard C,
Moore of Eugene, as chief of the
medical services at the state pen
itentiary at $6600 a year salary
was approved by the board.
This appointment, effective
February 1, is in line with rec
ommendations made by the
board after making a survey of
the prison and its needs.
Dr. Moore was in the army as
a doctor for more than 32 years,
retiring four and one-half years
ago as a colonel. He was over
seas during World War I ir
command of a field hospital and
during his long army career has
been stationed all over the coun-
try as well as in island army
posts.
Since his retirement he has
made his home in Eugene. His
wife is a daughter of the late F.
M. Wilkins, noted pioneer resi
dent of Eugene, and she with her
sisters, Mrs. Condon C. McCor-
nack and Mrs. Lynn S. McCrea
dy, both of Eugene, wrote the
book, "The Story of Eugene,
published last spring as one of
the best sellers in the northwest,
During the last war, Dr. Moore
was chief surgeon for the 9th
and 7th army service command
ers. He is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Oregon.
The board will file a request
with the state emergency board
for $20,000 with which to erect
a home for Dr. Moore and also
build a residence for Everett
Kaiser, superintendent at the
prison farm.
Israeli's Plan
(Continued from Page 1)
If th council succeeds in ob
taining the "cooperation of the
parties it will proceed to imple
ment tne statute, one source
explained. That would involve
the naming of a U. N. governor
for the area.
If cooperation from Israel and
Jordan is not forthcoming, the
sources said, then the trustee
ship council would be forced to
refer the Jerusalem question
back to the general assembly
next year.
This would shift the responsi
bility but might not bring the
matter any nearer to a conclu
sion. The assembly has no pow
ers of enforcement other than
the pressure of world public
opinion.

Stone Tools Not Artifacts
Or Any Other Kind of Facts
By C. K. LOGAN
Scientific expeditions into he
Lebanon community, with published reports of the "find" prompt
ly protected by copyright, might -as well have remained at home.
In fact, they could have saved
remains of a lost race.
Amateur geologists became
highly agitated by artifacts
buried in a ridge above the
Roaring River home of Victor
Wilkins, mountain fern picker,
who turned his find over to W.
C.Hunt, Lebanon amateur geo
logist and rock collector. ,
After a careful study of the
uncovered "facts" Dr. John A.
Rademaker, head of the sociolo
gy department of Willamette
university, comes up with a few
facts of his own. He and Prof. W.
Herman Clark, head of the phy
sical science department, made
rough examination of the spe-
ciroont loaned them in an off
hand opinion October 22 and
said indications were that the
tools might be between 200 and
300 years old and varied from
the usual discoveries in that ter
ritory. Amateur scientists from Wil
lamette university hastily form
ed digging expeditions and scat
tered much good Linn county
earth over the landscape but un
covered nary another artifact or
any other fact.
As a result of more careful
examination of the specimens,
aided by Dr. L. C. Cressman,
chairman of the department of
)in hi' nji i i mmmw--f9'm
George Spaur
Spaur Named
State Forester
George Spaur has been named
Oregon state forester.
The state forestry board,
meeting here Monday appointed
Spaur to the permanent post.
He has been acting state forester
since the death of Stae Forester
Nels Rogers last September.
Spaur, the sixth state forester
since the department was set-up
in 1911, has been with the de
partment since 1937. He was
named deputy state forester In
March, 1946, following his re
turn from service in World War
II.
A native of Roseburg, Ore.,
born there in 1903, the new state
forester graduated from the
Roseburg high school and re
ceived his bachelor and master
degrees in forestry at Oregon
State college. Prior to joining
the state forestry department he
spent several years in the for
estry and the lumber industry
with private companies.
Now a colonel with the army
reserves and commander of the
369th engineer boat and shore
regiment, army reserve unit in
Salem, during World War II
Spaur was a staff officer with
the Ninth Army Corps in the
Pacific.
Later he served with the oc
cupation forces on Hokkido is
land and assisted Gen. MacAr-
thur in an economic resources
survey of the Japanese islands
He has the Bronze Star medal
awarded during World War II,
Spaur is a member of the So
ciety of American Foresters, the
American Legion, the Masons,
the Xi Sigma PI, forestry honor
ary, and Chi Phi, social frater
nity.
Truman
(Continued from Page 1)
They say concentration on an
anti-poll tax bill or the anti
lynching bill might draw a little
less fire but that there was noth
ing in the past history of the
senate to indicate either of these
could be passed.
Consults Strategists
Mr. Truman's top specialists
on civil rights are here to con
suit with him on strategy. They
are Administrative Assistant Da
vid K. Niles and his assistant,
Philleo Nash.
Meanwhile, White House ad
visers continued to shuttle back
and forth by plane. Most of
them have told reporters pri
vately they have spent more time
playing than they have working
on the "State of the Union" mes
sage Mr. Truman will deliver to
congress in January.
Said one bright young brain
truster, lolling on the sands of
the beach: "It a difficult to get
work done here."
Leaves Beauty Nook Certifi
ficate of retirement from Beauty
Nook, a beauty shop, has been
filed with the county clerk by
W. M. Garner.
Roaring River district in the
much fruitless digging for the
anthropology of the University
of Oregon, assisted by Dr. Wil
liam Laughlin and Dr. Shot-
well, Dr. Cressman advises
follows:
"Our examination indicated
that these artifacts appear to
have been made by modern
rock-cutting and polishing
equipment; that particles of
abrasive and grinding compound
still are visible in the surfaces
and that at least two pieces very
so much from useable or pre
viously known forms that they
cannot be accepted as stone age
tools or artifacts from any
where." Dr. Rademaker, in summing
up the situation, sticks to facts.
He urges that any future geolo
gical "finds" be left where they
wcrs discovered pending the ar
rival of a skilled geologist who
could analyze "surrounding ma
terial." Discovery that the seven al
leged stone tools were "fakes"
was not published under copy
right. The Lebanon man, who has
one of the largest amateur geo
logical collections in the state,
has not materially increased the
size of his accumulation.

Morse Favors State Control
Of Federal Aid to States
Washington, Dec. 13 Wi Senator Morse (R., Ore.), said before
leaving for another trip to Oregon that republicans in his state
agree with him that the party should meet "head on the demo
cratic program of assuming more and more national jurisdiction
over problems that can be handled best by the states."
Oregonians, he said, are notS
opposed to a reasonable pro
gram of federal aid to states in
health, education, housing, road
construction and similar fields.
'But they rightly insist," he
added in an interview, "that ad
ministration of such problems be
placed solely in the hands of the
states."
Morse said he found in a
month's tour of Oregon that the
people of his state oppose Pres
ident Truman's proposal for a
Columbia Valley Administration
in the Pacific Northwest. The
agency would be administered
by a board of three appointed
by the president.
"I found that in regard to the
CVA issue the people agreed
with me, generally, that we
should not take away from the
people a voting voice in deter
mining the policies which are to
be adopted in developing the riv-
resources of the Pacific
Northwest," Morse said.
'I found the democrats will
make a great mistake if they
think the people of Oregon arc
going to accept the pending CVA
bill as a satisfactory solution to
the need of greater coordination
of state and federal agencies
charged with developing sound
power construction, flood con
trol, reclamation, wild life and
land utilization programs in the
Pacific Northwest.
"They have no intention of
turning over to three executive
appointees any such economic
and political power as would be
given them under the CVA bill.1
Morse said republicans of Ore
gon "generally agree with me"
that the recommendations of the
Hoover commission on govern
ment organization should be
adopted by the republican party
as "the republican policy."
"If the republicans did that,
Morse said, "then the democrats
for once would have to go along
with the republicans."
United Stales
(Continued from Page 1)
These most recent actions, the
state department said, "are not
an Isolated development." It
noted that for some time the
legation "has been subjected to
a scries of indignities and re
strictions including false charges
against American officials, in
timidation and persecution of
local Bulgarian employes, re
fusal to issue visas to personnel
assigned to the legation, and
various restrictions on travel
and housing."
The department reported that
aside from questioning whether
Bulgaria wants to continue nor
mal relations, Webb said that
the U.S. "takes a most serious
view of such deliberate actions
which must inevitably affect re
lations between the two coun
tries." He said that the Bul
garian government has an "ap
parent intention to disregard in
ternational law and comity in
conducting its relations with the
United States."
Co-ed's Slayer
Turns to Poetry
Iowa City, Iowa, Dec. 13 W)
A University of Iowa psychology
student today turned to poetry
as he waited in jail for a pre
liminary hearing in the strangu
lation slaying of a beautiful
coed.
1
The hearing was set for De
cember 21 when the broad-
shouldered Robert F. Bcdnasek,
24, was brought before Justice
of the Peace C. J. Hutchinson
here yesterday.
He is charged with the first
degree murder of pretty Mar
garet (Gcegee) Jackson, 20,
whose body, clad in a white,
strapless evening gown was
found early Sunday in a men s
rooming house.
With his manacled hands
clasped together, Bcdnasek
shook his bowed head sadly
from side to side in a negative
fashion as he heard the charge
against him read in the crowded
justice of the peace office.
No formal plea was entered
for the senior student from
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, but his law
yer in asking for a preliminary
hearing said his client would
plead innocent.
Bednasek has said he "loved
that girl more than my life" and
that she loved him.
A friend who described Bed
nasek as an easy-going, popular
fellow, took, upon his request,
books of poems to the prisoner.
Officers brought him the book of
love poems, "This Is My Be
loved" by Walter Benton. Bob
Carpenter of Cedar Rapids, said
he took to the jail books of
poetry by Elizabeth Barrett and
Robert Browning.

Taxi Operators
(Continued from Page 1)
The one driver who appeared
was Monte Eugene Burkhart. In
characteristic but easily under
stood cabby language he said:
"You guys know what you're
doing, I guess, but I didn't do
anything anyone else wouldn't
do. I admit I pleaded guilty and
they promised to find us jobs.
They put me in the pokey. Now
we don't hear anything about
jobs, and I walk around the
streets feelin' like a thug. If I
can see the judge and get him
to let me drive again, what
about you guys? Will you let
me drive again?"
Burkhart criticized the police
for not picking up the girl when
she was loitering about the taxi
station. He said he didn't know
the girl was under age.
The hearing of the operators
was held informally behind
closed doors, and a crowd in the
council chamber waited for an
hour and a half to hear the for
mal action that followed.
Alderman Tom Armstrong led
the move for tabling the resolu
tions on grounds that there were
discrepancies to Iron out between
statements of the operators and
by the police with respect to
the knowledge the operators had
of the activities of their drivers
and what they had done to cor
rect them.
Evidence brought out In the
closed hearing was not made
public.
All the operators approved
the regulatory ordinance bill
that was on the calendar Mon
day night and which was passed
by the council. They said it
would help them to maintain
lawful operations. The bill was
amended to require the driver's
taxi license to be posted in the
cab.
