Washington, Dec. 24 Rep.
Walter Norblad (R., Ore.) asked
the air force today to put the
proposed air force academy in

In a letter to the air force site
selection board, Norblad said
there are many sites in Oregon
that meet all of the: require
ments. Norblad's letter, which he
made public, added:
"I further call your attention
to the fact that the existing serv
ice academies are located on the
east coast, that your air force
advance school is located in the
south and the navy has a large
graduate training school in Cal
ifornia, but that there are none
of these facilities in the Pacifc
Northwest."
"As a matter of equitable geo
graphic distribution, it would
seem only proper that we be
given first consideration."

Hearing on
Alley Vacation
A public hearing is scheduled
to be held by the city council
Tuesday night on that state s ap
plication for vacation of the al
ley in Block 86, original plat of
Salem.
The alley is in the block
where the new office building of
the state highway department is
to be located and where excava
tion has started.
The hearing, it is evident, will
be merely a matter of form, for
no protests to the vacation have
been made and none is expected
to appear Tuesday night.
The second city council meet
ing for December will be Tues
day night for the reason that
Monday will be legally observed
as the Christmas holiday, since
Christmas falls on Sunday this
year.
It was said today that a com
promise has been reached on the

Seek to Speed
Eubank Release
District Attorney E. O. Stadter
and his staff went to work
Saturday to leave no legal stone
unturned in an effort to bring
a larceny case to a close and
return a father to his family
in Klamath Falls.
The principal in the case Is
William L. Eubank. He is ac
cused of petty larceny in the
theft of a tire, pipe dies and
two coats. The complaint against
him was signed by J. E. Jones.
Although the thefts alleged
in the complaint took place
months ago, Eubank was not ar
rested until this week in Klam
ath Falls. He was held in jail
there three days and the Mar
ion county sheriff's office re
turned him to Salem for trial.
Saturday morning, Eubank
pleaded innocent to the charge
in district court, and trial was
set for Tuesday, the earliest pos
sible date.
But Judge Joseph B. Felton,
the sheriff's office staff and mem
bers of the district attorney's
department became concerned
when they learned that Eubank
had a wife and two children in
Klamath Falls.
Eubank's bail was set at $250,
and he was unable to post that
sum.
In view of the man's plea of
innocence, officials from the
county agencies were to work
to speed the wheels of justice in
the hope that his presence would

Last Run for
Santa's Special
The "Santa Claus Special"
that has been operating over
the Southern Pacific lines from
Oakland Pier, Cal., to Portland
and back again daily during the
past two weeks made its last run
Saturday.
The train, made up of a num
ber of mail, baggage, freight
cars and a caboose was placed in
operation to carry excess mail
that accumulates during the hol
iday season. It relieves the bur
den that would ordinarily be
placed on the regular passenger
trains which customarily handle
the mail.
The mail train has been pass
ing through Salem on its north
bound trip around 2 o'clock each
afternoon and at 3 o'clock on
its southward journey.
While regular passenger trains
have been running behind time
due to heavy traffic, had they
been compelled to carry the
large amount of Christmas mail,
too, they would have been de
layed .many hours operating be
tween the two terminal points,
company officials explain.
The special has been unload
ing several platform truckloads
a day in Salem as well as pick
ing up quantities of holiday
packages and letters.

Russia Charges
(Continued from Page 1)
It added that the Japanese set
up two secret research centers
in Manchuria to conduct bac
teriological warfare on secret
orders from Emperor Hirohito.
The germ program, the charges
said, was directed at the Soviet
Union, the Mongolian people's
republic, China and "other
states." Japanese generals, in
testimony published at great
length, related how they were
preparing to spread the horrors:
Bubonic plague, cholera, ty
p h o i d , paratyphoid, anthrax,
glanders, gas gangrene and oth
ers. Documents to this effect, as
well as testimony of the accused,
were included in the published
indictment, which said detach
ments for bacteriological war
fare were disguised.
Trained in Dropping Germs
The bacteriological centers,
the indictment also said, had
special aviation detachments
which had been trained in drop
ping the germs. It said the Japa
nese had special prisons in
which Chinese, Russians and
Manchurians were held as hu
man guinea pigs for use in bac
teriological experiments. It said
those sent to these prisons
many of whom were soviet citi
zens never returned, and if
they did not die from one infec
tuous disease they were con
taminated with another.
Four of the 12 men mentioned
in the indictment were former
Japanese generals and the other
eight presumably were army of
ficers of equal or lower rank.
They were accused under a de
cree of the presidium of the
supreme soviet on April 19,
1943, defining crimes of war.
Names of Accused
Further installments of the in
dictment will be published later,
after which, it is supposed, the
accused will be called to trial.
The broadcast said those in
dicted were Gen. Otozo Yamada,
Ryuji Katjitsuka, Takaatsu Ta
kahashi, Kiyoshi Kawashima,
Toshihide Nishi, Tomid Kara
sawa Yamada, Masao Onoe,
Shunji Sato, Jensaku Hiraza
kua, Hazuo Mitomo, Norimitsu,
Kikuchi and Jipi Kurushima.
Old Story to U.S.
Washington, Dec. 24 VP) The
Soviet charge that Japan plan
ned bacteriological warfare as
far back as 1935 Is old stuff to
the U.S. government. It made a
similar report four years ago.
Informed today of a new Rus
sian charge, Maj. Gen. Anthony
C. McAuliffe, chief of the army
chemical corps, said he had no
comment.
But on January 3, 1946, the
army made public a report on
bacteriological offensive and
I defensive efforts of the United
States and other nations. The
report was prepared by George
W. Merck, head of a drug firm
and a special biological warfare
consultant to the secretary of
war.
The report discussed efforts
of Germany with Japan, an
axis member to develop germ
warfare.
Girl Scouts Guest Mrs. Rob
ert Morrow was hostess this
week to Girl Scout troop 51 of
the Liberty community at her
home on Boxwood Lane. A so
cial hour and Christmas party
followed the business meeting.
Gifts were exchanged and car

Ex-Wife Shoots
(Continued from Page 1)
The shooting came on the eve
of what would have , been the
Drewrys' wedding anniversary.
They were married 24 years ago
today. Their divorce was grant
ed July 15, 1949.
Threatened Suicide
Chief Roberts said police
learned of the shooting from T.
M. Philpot, a friend Mrs. Drew-
ry called immediately after she
returned home. The chief said
when officers went to pickup
Mrs. Drewry she threatened "to
take something and end her own
life."
He quoted her as saying only
the arrival of the police stopped
her.
Dr. Jonathan C. Rogers, pres
ident of the university, said the
shooting would not affect Dean
Drewry's position at the univer
sity.
Mrs. Drewry instituted the di
vorce proceedings, charging her
husband with treating her m a
'cruel and humiliating manner,
constantly nagging and com
plaining." Her petition told of
previous separations and said
Drewry once threatened to force
her from their home.
The dean filed a petition ask
ing for a separate divorce. He
merely denied his wife s charges.
A joint divorce was granted.
Dr. Harry Talmadge reported
that the dark-haired former sec
retary was in a more critical
condition than Drewry. but that
both were "doing all right and
are expected to pull through.1

Saving on Cards
Flainfield, N.J., Dec. 24 VP)
James MacLaren and A. J. Cave
never had trouble deciding what
Christmas card to send to each
other they've been sending the
same one back and forth for IT
years.
This year it's MacLaren's
turn. A native of Scotland now
livnlg in nearby Warren town
ship, MacLaren bought the card
for 15 cents back in 1932. Cave
lives in Red Bank, N.J.
The card has a little window
in it, and each year the sender
changes the cheery message In
the window.
The canny Scotsman several
years ago thought of a way to
save the cost of a stamp every
other year.
The two men work near each
other in New York City. Now
the sender of the card each year
walks to the other's office and
delivers it in person.
Pope Opens
(Continued from Page 1)
Riot squads dispersed the anti-
Franco demonstrators who were
protesting the presence In Rome
of Spanish Foreign Minister
Martin Artajo, here for the Holy
door ceremony. In the disorders
an automobile owned by a U S
embassy official was overturned
near the Spanish embassy.
Inauguration Ceremonies
But the incidents failed to in
terrupt the Holy year inaugura
tion ceremonies at St. Peter's.
A crowd of 50,000 persons in
side the basilica cheered as the
pontiff strode alone through the
door into the vast church, seat
of the religion of 400,000.000
persons of which the Pope is
the temporal head. Outside 300
000 more gathered in St. Peter's
Square heard the great bronze
bells of the basilica ring the tld
ings that the jubilee year had
begun.
But the struggle in which the
church is now locked with com
munism was symbolized at the
very hour of the Holy ceremonial
by a call from the communist
led chamber of labor for a gen
eral strike in Rome.
