spread to buildings on the Jess

The only damage was to the
tree. Firemen didn't know how
the fire started, but said it
looked as though it had been

Summer Lake
Shown to Lions
A premier showing of motion
pictures taken by the state game
commission at the Summer lake
public shooting grounds were
shown during Thursday's lunch
eon of the Salem Lions club by
Clark Walsh, public relations of
ficer for the commission.
The films included numerous
shots of geese and ducks and
depicted the manner in which
the 5000 acres of land are being
developed into "Every Man's
Duck Club."
The grounds have a dual pur
pose, Walsh explained. Approx
imately half is devoted to a game
refuge and the balance to pub
lie shooting.
It is estimated there was I
hatch of 5000 Canadian geese on
the project this year in addition
to thousands of ducks. None of
the cinnamon teal hatched there
make their way north, said
Walsh. All of them migrate into
California.

Plan Future
Of Mill City
Mill City, Ore., Dec. 29 Fu
ture of the upper Santiam can
yon depends upon the coopera
tive spirit and efforts of not only
the people of the community but
the entire district. This is the
view of Albert Bauer, general
manager of Consolidated Build
ers, Inc., contractors for the De
troit dam, who spoke at a din
ner meeting of the Mill City
Chamber of Commerce Wed
nesday evening.
Bauer pointed out that while
there are 450 men engaged in
preliminary construction now
at the dam, when concrete is be
ing poured a peak of 1200 men
will be employed. Many of these
could be induced to remain in
the area after construction is
completed, he said.
Immediate improvement of
the highway from Salem to the
district adjacent to and imme
diately west from the dam site
was described as the' greatest
need of the community, Bauer
said. The improvement was held
of vital importance to the dis
trict as a whole and not neces
sarily for the benefit of those
employed on the project at pre-
sent, he said. The remarks were
received with enthusiasm.
Need of the present is a gen
eral survey for potential indus
tries through which these men
may be employed later and oth
ers induced to locate in the
canyon area. Cooperative efforts
of the Mill City and other
Chambers of Commerce along
the line is advisable, Bauer said.
Bauer, a past president of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce
was a special guest of the year
end banquet which also hon
ored Robert Venness, Mill City
theater owner, who was announ
ced a choice of first citizen of
the year. Venness, who has been
serving as secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce, is the new pre
sident, succeeding J. C. Kim
mell.

check, he will get exactly what he
would get if he had been the first
to apply. Any Interest earned on
his dividend will go into the in
surance fund as profits.
There is no deadline on applying.
The average dividend payment will
be $175.

"I have the assurance of the
secretary of state that full con
sultation with the foreign rela
toins committee will take place
before any steps are taken in the
direction of recognizing the com
munist regime," he said.
"The most important thing
we can do now is to use our
influence and our resources to
prevent the further expansion
of communism in Asia."
To Trim $1 Billion
Connally outlined his com
ments on foreign affairs for re
porters in a prepared statement,
and then discussed them in de
tail. He said "up to $1,000,000,000"
should be cut from Marshall
plan spending next year and a
"substantial sum" from this na
tions own military budget.
Connally took note of criti
cism by Senate Republican
Leader Wherry of Nebraska and
other republicans on handling
of the bi-partisan foreign policy,
But he denied there is any
weakening of bi-partisan poli
tical cooperation in the senate
"except In spots."
Recognition for Spain
"Some republicans would be
willing to use the bi-partisan
policy for political advantage,'
he remarked.
But he insisted President Tru
man has never used the policy
tor party gain.
Connally also told his news
conference that:
1. Spain should be given full
diplomatic recognition and, if
possible, be brought into the At
lantic pact.
2. New arms aid for Europe
may be needed after June 30
but the amount should be less
than the $1,000,000,000 program
voted last year.

"A coal dispute could very
well reach the latter proportions,
but obviously the present one has
not done so to date, nor is there
any likelihood it will if the three
day week is continued."
Morse, who wants the Taft
Hartley law repealed, thus took
sharp issue with Senator Wherry
of Nebraska, the republican floor
leader. Two days ago Wherry
said there was "deplorable evi
dence of negligence" in the fact
Mr. Truman has not used the
Taft-Hartley act to restore full
time production of coal.
Wherry also accused Mr. Tru
man of failing to enforce the T-H
law because he doesn't like the
measure and wants it wiped off
the books.
The president has said he will
use the law if a national emer
gency develops. But he has ex
pressed no opinion as to whether
he would have the legal right to
invoke the law under the pres
ent circumstances when Lewis
could argue in court that pro
duction limitation is no strike.
