His First Good Trimming Judging from the appearance
(left) of Franklin George Pia, 3, he is not enjoying his good
trimming. Barber Carl Canright seems to be enjoying the
Job of snipping Franklin's 20-inch-long curls. Franklin, son
of Mr. and Mrs. George Pia of Cupertino, Calif., was sure of
two things after It was all over. His neck was cold and he
was the owner of a man-sized candy cane (right). (AP Wire-photo)
Loan to Lustron
Held in Default
Washington, Dec. 29 () The
Reconstruction Finance corpora
tion said today it will have to
act "very soon" unless Lustron
corporation, prefabricated hous
ing firm, gets its financial af
fairs in order.
Lustron, long a target of con
gressional criticism, was declar
ed "in default" on RFC loans.
These now total $37,500,000.
Harvey J. Gunderson, RFC di
rector, told a reporter the
agency "will have to do some
thing very soon" about Lus
tron's indebtedness unless the
company evolves some plan to
make itself solvent.
Gunderson said the company
"is In default on Its loans, and
we can't wait much longer."
Lustron's RFC borrowings
have been an issue in congress
since its president, Carl G.
Etrandlund, told a house com
mittee he put up only $1,000
to launch his project at Colum
bus, Ohio. The rest, he said,
came from RFC.
At Columbus today, Strand
lund said he would seek a new
loan In about two weeks and
denied his firm was In default
on $20,000,000 due the govern
ment this month.
Earlier an RFC spokesman
had announced a halt to further
financing to Lustron.

Independence Youth
Held on Girls' Charges
Two Independence youths
Michael J. Drazdoff and a 16-
year-old Juvenile were arrest
ed by Salem police on a muni
cipal court warrant charging dis
orderly conduct for molesting
girls.
The girls said that the two
had blocked every crosswalk
from the intersection of Court
and Commercial streets until
they reached the 000 block on
North Commercial. They were
urged and threatened to get In
the vehicle in which the two
youths were riding.
The girls eluded the pair by
entering a cafe and telephoning
parents who summoned police.
The arrest was made possible
because the girls had taken the
license number of the car driv
en by the pair.

Turner Road
Dangerous
Three complaints have been
received by the county court as
to the condition of what is
known as the Dike road run
ning south of Turner from the
Ball Bros, garage with the im
plied threat that rural route
privileges may be taken away
from it unless it is put in better
condition.
One of the complaints from
Helen Peetz, postmaster, says
the ditch on the road needs
cleaning and states unless re
paired the route may be amend
ed to avoid the neglected parts
or consideration may be given
to discontinuance of the serve.
Another from Margaret E.
Riches, clerk of the school board,
says the board has given consid
eration to the road and advises
it is not suitable for bus travel
when the water comes up. It is
stated the road is very narrow
nd brush extending over It
makes it difficult to see on
coming travel. Part of the road
is in the city and part in the
county and the court is asked
to make repairs on the county
part.
The third complaint is a letter
from John Mickey and 15 others
which repeats complaint as to
the brush and road and says it
is impassable to the mail, the
school bus and also to taxpayers
using it.
Court members will make an
other inspection of the road but
state it is so narrow ditch clean
ing activities are very difficult
at this time of the year.
