regular naval air station.
Cmdr. Hug in detailing oper

of Oregon, but that facilities at
the field were such that a regu

At the present time operations
of the unit are on a volunteer
basis. There are two officers
and 21 men attached to the fa
cility.

BPA Lists Cost
(Continued from Page 1
This was the information
given to members of the state
board of control Tuesday by
Charles Dunn, Portland district
manager of the Bonneville Pow
er administration.
Dunn said that his figures
were not accurate as his office
did not have the time required
to make a complete study and
recommended that if the board
was interested in obtaining di
rect federal power the state
should engage a consulting engi
neer to make a cost estimate.
Take 2 or 3 years
It would take from two to
three years for the construc
tion of the Bonneville lines and
substation needed in Salem,
Dunn said, and until McNary
and Hungry Horse dams were
completed the state could be
given only an interruptible con
tract, the same type which the
state now carries with Portland
General Electric company, and
which has 18 months to run.
State Treasurer Walter Pear
son, who proposed the state of
Oregon-Bonneville alliance, cited
the law to show that the state
was empowered to construct
power lines and the federal laws
empowered Bonneville to make
the state a preferred customer.
Salem Electric Offer
J. A. Frisbie, of the Salem
Electric told the board that the
co-operative desired to enter
bids for furnishing the state
with power when the present
contract with PGE expired. He
said that his company did not
have lines constructed to down
town Salem at present, but if as.
sured of the s t a t e's business
could construct such lines with
in six months' time. He said he
"thought" that the co-op could
furnish the power to the state at
a 10 per cent savings.
The board took no action on
Pearson's proposal.
Lease of approximately three
acres of land lying south of and
adjacent to the Naval reserve
facility to the navy was author
ized by the board. The land will
be leased to the navy for 25
years. The three acres are now
a part of land used for farming
operations by the stale penitentiary.
Search On for
Lost Airplane
Pendleton, Dec. 27 P) Aerial
search for the plane of Air Force
Sergeant Frank Eaton, his wife
and baby, overdue at Ontario
since 1:45 p.m. Saturday, swung
into a new section of the snow
covered Blue mountains today,
the area northeast of Tollgate.
Sgt. Eaton and his family, fly.
ing from Spokane to Lake Ta-
hoe, Calif., for the holidays with
his parents, took off from Walla
Walla Saturday before noon for
Ontario with three hours supply
of gas. '
Wayne Irwin,' coordinator for
the state board of aeronautics
and director of the search, said
here that Eaton must have been
forced down between Pendleton
and La Grande, because there
was no visibility beyond La
Grande. He could not have gone
beyond La Grande.
Eaton was also bucking head
winds with three hours of gas
at a cruising speed of 80 miles
an hour, he said.
Sunday and Monday planes,
manned by civil air patrol and
civilian pilots from Pendleton,
La Grande, Baker and Walla
Walla, searched the mountainous
region around Starkey, La
Grande, Tollgate and the foot
hills of Weston mountain. Snow
storms in the Walla Walla wa
tershed kept planes walled out.
Today clearing skies gave access
to this area, although pilots faced
turbulent weather.

Traffic Problems
Relative to traffic Mayor Elf
strom says:
"... The traffic problem in
Salem has been given careful
study by the city officials for
several years past. It is my firm
conviction that the studies made
have led to beneficial, tangible
results.
A reference to statistical in
formation disclosed unprece
dented increase in local popula
tion. Much of this population
is in the suburban areas to the
north, south and east of the city
of Salem, as well as on the west
side of the river. Increased
population in the entire Willa
mette valley has served to in
crease the number of vehicles
on the streets of Salem. We have
problems which deal with local
traffic which proceeds from
place to place wholly within the
city or its immediate environs,
and we have problems concern
ing the through traffic proceed
ing from other places within or
without the state through Sa
lem. In an effort to cope with
these problems the city has had
the assistance of the state high
way department, and a new
bridge is planned across the Wil
lamette, and new state highway
arteries are under consideration
which may alter the north and
south through-traffic situation.
All of these things point to the
importance of the traffic prob
lem and the necessity of careful
studies.'
Parking Problem
The mayor says that "closely
related to the traffic problem is
the parking problem," and that
"the very development of the
state capitol group means an in
creasing need for parking facili
ties to accommodate the state
employes, many of whom drive
many miles to their work. There
is need to accommodate those
having business with the state.
We shall have been remiss in our
duties and responsibilities if
visitors to the state capitol find
it impossible to park within a
reasonable distance of the build
ings . . .
"The capitol commission re
commends the closing of Che
meketa street between Winter
and Capitol. It is also urged that
Union street be closed at a later
date . . .
Dead-end Streets
The city of Salem is badly
hampered by lack of facilities
for east and west traffic. Court
street dead-ends at 19th; Mar
ion street is a narrow street jog
ging at Capitol, with a dead-end
at 15th; on proceeding easterly
on Union street motorists reach
a dead-end at Capitol. This con
dition forces east and west cross-
traffic to use Stale street and
Center street principally, and
Chemeketa street is also used
heavily for cast and west travel.
Union street is also used exten
sively for east and west travel
. . . and will be Increased upon
completion of the Willamette ri
ver bridge.
"Any closing of these cast and
west streets would create a traf
fic problem which might well
impede the orderly development
of the city 01 Salem . . .
"It is my opinion that rather
than close Chutneketa street,
plan ought to be developed for

In July 1948, after Burr had
been working as an attendant at
the hospital for a week, ho took
Watson, an inmate, with him
and walked away from the in
stitution. They went to Oregon
City, where they enticed a bar
tender into their motel room,
overpowered him, bound him
and made off with his money
and car.
They went to southern Cali
fornia, where Watson, the pa
tient at the hospital here, was
working as an attendant at Po
mona state hospital for the men
tally ill. Watson was returned
to the hospital here.
Burr was captured, and sen
tenced to 16 years in Oregon
state prison for the Oregon City
robbery. Last November he
feigned insanity, according to
Dr. C. E. Bales of Oregon State
hospital, and was committed to
the criminally insane ward at
the Salem institution.
The other two patients who
escaped with Burr and Watson
and were captured shortly after
were James W. Cameron, 25,
and Walter Chamberlain, 19. Po
lice expressed belief that they
were let out of their rooms by
Burr and Watson, then sent
north, to act as "decoys" while
Burr and Watson fled south.
He will appear Tuesday be
fore U.S. Commissioner George
Baird in San Diego to face a
charge of crossing a state line
to avoid prosecution.
The FBI entered the picture
when Burr crossed the Oregon
California state line. FBI agents
said they did not know when
Burr would be returned to Ore
gon, and they refused to discuss
the search for Watson.
No attorneys have been as
signed to Burr's case.
Dr. C. E. Bates, superintend
ent of Oregon state hospital, said
he would recommend Burr s im
mediate return to Oregon state
prison instead of to the hospital
Dr. Bates said lie would ask
the state board of control to
transfer the escapee to the pris
on as soon as he is returned here.
He expressed belief that Burr
'feigned insanity in order to
get out of the prison and have
a better chance of escaping at
the hospital. The superintendent
said he would throw "cold wa
ter on any plans Burr might
have to coming back to the hos
pital after he is returned lo the
penitentiary.
Dr. Bates said Burr is no
more insane than any other con
vict at the state prison." He add
ed that he does not want the
hospital used as a "dumping
ground" for prisoners with plans
for escape.

WAA FolrJs-up
At Years End
Washington, Dec. 27 (U.B The
biggest sales agency in the his
tory of this government, which
handled everything from play
ing cards to giant aircraft plants,
folds up at the end of this
month.
The war assets administration
ceases to exist Dec. 31. Its rem

public buildings service of the
general services administration.
Most of its work is done, and all
that remains are some plants
which WAA officials say are
"unsalable."
When WAA set up shop in
1D46, the government told it to
get rid of $27,100,000,000 worth
of war surplus goods ranging
from 4.000,000 decks of playing
cards through carrier pigeons,
B-29 bombers, to giant steel
mills, aluminum plants and mil
itary reservations. Since then
the WAA has disposed of $25,
600,000,000 (cost value) of pro
perty. It got about 30 cents on
the dollar, or a total of more
than $7,000,000,000.
The job, say WAA officials,
was a tough one.

New Regime
(Continued from Page 1)
The sultan of Jogjakarta, the
republic's minister of defense,
said in a broadcast that "Indo
nesia today faces a new era and
possibly many difficulties."
Reconstruction Problem
"Our new task is the recon
struction of our country, which
is important not only for our
selves but for all peoples of the
world."
The sultan paid tribute to the
United Nations Indonesian com
mission whose "valuable aid and
guidance must never be forgot
ten." The commission, which in
cludes an American, announced
that it would stand by to observe
the full implementation of the
transfer of lovereignty. .
lieves that would be unfair to
properly owners unless the re
sponsible agencies of the state
"would declare an intention of
immediate acquisition of proper
ty northerly from that now own
ed by the state." Otherwise they
would be faced, over a long pe
riod of years, with a threat of
acquisition that would prevent
their development of their prop
erties. "I question," says the mayor,
"the feasibility of extending the
capitol area as far north as D
street. This opinion is based on
the belief that it would be more
desirable for people wishing to
do business in more than one of
the stale buildings if these build
ings were grouped in more near
ly a square rather than in the
proposed rectangle which would
cover a long narrow area.
Other Possible Expansion
"I believe con sideration
should be given to expanding
the capitol area westward along
Court street to Co't.igc, and
eastward along Court street to
12th street."
The mayor discusses the
fringe area at length, and con
cludes that "the solution to the
fringe area problem is not for
the state to acquire ownership
of it, but for the city so to zone
the fringe area by 3-X zoning as
to encourage to the fullest the
improvement and beautification
of the area."
