M'Nary Field
Fixed for Stops
Salem's McNary field prepar
ed Saturday to take the United
Air Lines flights scheduled to
land in Portland but in the end
got only those making regularly
scheduled Salem stops.
The Salem United station
early Saturday morning re
ceived word from the Denver of
fice to prepare to handle the
Portland stops, the Portland air
port at that time having a heavy
covering of snow on its runways.
United in Salem called em
ployes normally on other shifts
in to work in event that the
flights were forced to stop here
and arrangements were made to
charter buses for transportation
to Portland.
Only about three inches of
snow blanketed McNary field,
while in Portland, according to
the report given the UAL in
Salem, there were drifts of be
tween 18 and 19 inches of snow
on the airport. Portland run
ways, however, were cleared
enough by the time of the first
flight from the south arrived to
be used by the plane. Seattle still
was not open to operations.

Russia Seeking
Bases in China
London, Jan. 14 T) Russia is
reported negotiating for import
ant new naval and military bas
es in communist China.
A qualified informant said
last night this information came
from Moscow to a major west
ern power. The source stressed
that the report may have arisen
out of speculation on the current
secret talks between high Rus
sian and communist Chinese of
ficials. Other western officials, how
ever, said they believed the two
countries would soon complete
agreements on defense, trade
and friendship.
Extensive details on the re
ported negotiations for new Rus
sian bases in China were not
forthcoming from the informant
But if the information is cor
rect, he said, Russia would gain
much firmer military control
over China than she has today.
Chinese communist leader
Mao Tze-Tung has been in Mos
cow for several weeks, presum
ably to discuss every phase of
his country's relations with tile
Soviet union.
Radio Moscow announced
about two months ago that
Mao's regime intended "to re
view all treaties concluded bv
the Kuomintang (nationalists)
with foreign powers and, accord
ing to their nature, revise, an
nul or recognize them."
Fasting, Prayer
Back of Meetings
Rev. Dale Hanson who has con
ducted services of a city-wide
nature in various cities of Can
ada and the United States has
been secured for a series of re
vival meetings at the Evangel
istic Temple Market street and
Park avenue.
The services are different in
that they are based on the prom
ises of the Bible to fasting and
prayer. Rev. Hanson is said to
follow his own preaching in this
connection and frequently in
duce as many as 200 persons to
last with him.

Fir Tree Crashes
Simning Home
Two winters in a row now dis
aster has struck at the Sid Simn
ing family at 850 Bever drive.
Shortly after 5 o'clock Friday
evening a fir tree nearly 150
feat high, weakened by the
storm, fell across the Simning
house and crushed the roof on
two sides.
On November 20, 1948, a tree
toppled and crushed Simning's
automobile.
The house is badly damaged
both inside and out, but the fam
ily of four is still making it liv
able. Plaster and glassware suf
fered most. No furniture was
damaged.
Simning was up all night
working to get the tree off his
roof, but it was still there to
day. Bever drive, where the Simn
ings live, is just north of the
city limits between Cherry ave
nue and North River road.
New County
Map Complete
You can find almost anything
in Marion county, except your
keys or your spectacles or some
thing you've lost out of your
pocket by consulting a new
map at City hall.
The fire department, the en
gineer's office and some other
offices have the map. It's a
big one for the wall 2 inches
to the mile by scale.
If you want to locate Welch
street in Silverton, or John
street in St. Paul, or Hardcastle
street -in Woodburn, all you
have to do is move a tape indi
cator that operates by numbers
and your finger is on the street.
All cities and towns in the
county are on the map. Other
things shown include highways,
county and market roads, rail
roads, parks, postal routes,
schools, churches, cemeteries,
rivers and creeks.
All boundary lines are defin
ed, and distances from Salem
shown.
It's called a Polyconic Pro
jection map and it is made by
Hcarne Bros, of Detroit, Mich
The map is in colors. All
property owned by city, state
county or federal government
is indicated in green.
Rev. Becker Goes
To Chicago Meet
The Rev. E. H. Becker leaves
Monday evening for Chicago to
meet with district presidents and
executive officers of the Inter
national Walthor league, youth
organization of the Lutheran
church-Missouri Synod. The Rev.
Beck is the advisory pastor of
the Oregon district. The purpose
of the meeting is to work out a
plan to make the league program
more effective.
Youngsters Coast
On South High
It's a pretty good country af
ter all.
No burly cops appeared Sat
urday to tell the kids they
couldn't coast on Fry's hill.
Instead city authorities decid
ed to turn the hill over to the
youngsters, and the police bar
ricaded South High street from
Mission to Oak. So if you're
driving to or from south Salem
you'll have to go by another
street.
As far back as anyone can re
member Fry's hill has been a
favorite coasting place for Salem
youngsters whenever there was
a snowfall. And even in the old
days they got no better cooper
ation from the police than they
are enjoying today.

awarded to a Salem high school
senior girl by the Salem Wo
man's club, it is announced by
Mrs. George Webster Ailing, pre

eration of Women's clubs. One
of the purposes of this contest

in the state federation's scholar
ship loan project and in the
award of a yearly $1000 fellow
ship by the state federation to a
Pan-American woman student to
continue higher education in

the Salem club contributes is
the $150 art scholarship to the
University of Oregon which is
given each year to a worthy
student.

Freeze to Death
Ritzville, Wash., Jan. 14 P)
Two small children, who tried
to walk home with their father
after the family car stalled on a
country road, froze to death in a
field yesterday at the height of
a howling buzzard.
Sheriff Frank Lucas said the
victims were Frederick (Don
nic) Stumpf, 6, and his sister,
Eileen, 10. The father, Fred
Stumpf, was taken to a Ritz
ville hospital in serious condi
tion.
Lucas said Stumpf was in
Ritzville yesterday afternoon
when schools were closed at
noon. He picked up the chil
drcn but apparently stayed in
town for a time before heading
home.
He started out about 3 p.m
with the children, the sheriff
said. They drove 14 of the 15
miles home when the car stalled
on the road in heavy drifts
Lucas said Stumpf and the
children got out and started
across the field. The children
were unable to make it. Stumpf
kept going for help, shouting as
he staggered along in the blind
ing storm.
His wife found him 200 yards
from the house and led him in
side.
They have no telephone and
it was hours before they could
get word out.

State of Siege
Rules Bolivia
La Paz Bolivia, Jan. 14 (IPl
The Bolivian government said
today it has imposed a state of
siege to guarantee public order
in the face of "subversive plot
ting." The plotters were not named.
Presumably the government was
aiming at elements of the na
tional revolutionary movement
(MNR), who led a revolt last Au
gust which was put down after
weeks of civil war.
The communique added that
the nation "is passing through a
moment of exceptional gravity"
as a result of anti-government
plots.
There was speculation the gov
ernment might have learned of a
new large-scale plan to unseat
it by MNR who were driven from
the country in last August's ci
vil war.
The government has been in
conversations recently with lead
ers of the liberal and social dem
ocratic parties with the intention
of giving them representation in
the cabinet.
The MNR would have no place
in the proposed broadened cab
inet. The decree followed a cabinet
meeting last night.
A government communique
said the nationalist revolutionary
movement (MNR) which has en
gineered several recent revolts
was trying to create "a situation
of unrest" by spreading false re
ports. The MNR had falsely reported
fights between police and gov
ernment troops in several cities
of Bolivia, the communique
added.
The communique said quiet
prevailed throughout the coun
try. Day Wasn't Lucky for
State Prison Guard
Roy Basley, who wasn't even
driving an automobile, faces a
traffic charge in justice court
at Oregon City.
lnis is because Basley is a
state prison guard from Salem.
He was returning to the peniten
tiary with a prisoner. The
lines were torn down and win
dows shattered. Gusts exceeded
hurricane velocity of 75 miles
an hour and reached as high as
90 and 95 miles an hour in
places.

charge is that he let an unlicens
ed person drive the prison pick
up truck. The unlicensed per
son was a convict, Theodore
Johnson.
A Friday the 13th traffic col
lision brought it all on.
State Policeman Henry Miller
said the pickup passed a car
driven by Mrs. Lucille Holt,
Canby, on the Molalla river
bridge on the Pacific highway.
A northbound truck and trailer
swerved to avoid the truck, Mil
ler said.
The truck was avoided, but
the trailer hit a bridge abut
ment, bounced back and hit
Mrs. Holt's car, the policeman
added. Mrs. Holt was hospital
ized here. No others were hurt.
De Gasperi to
Form Cabinet
Rome, Jan. 14 VP) President
Luigi Einaudi today asked Pre
mier Alcide de Gasperi to form
a new Italian government.
De Gasperi was not expected
to submit his choices for the
new cabinet until next Wednes
day or Thursday. This was ex
pected to prolong until Satur
day the government "crisis'
brought about when de Gasperi's
coalition regime resigned Thurs
day to effect a government re
organization promised last Oc
tober.
Since his Christian democrats
control parliament, de Gasperi's
reappointment was matter of
course.
He will begin talks with po
litical leaders later today on
the makeup of the new govern
ment. Meanwhile the outgoing gov
ernment continues to serve tem
porarily. President Einaudi scheduled
interviews today with the aged
cider statesman, ailing former
Premier Vittorio Emmanuele
Orlando, and communist Sena
tor Umberto Terracini, former
speaker of Italy's constituent as
sembly.
As Einaudi continued his in
terviews, Italy's communists de
manded he throw de Gasperi
out and break this country's ties
with the Atlantic Alliance and
American economy.

- THE NEW
Protest Closing
ome Airbase
Washington, Jan. 14 (P) Gov
ernor GrueninB and Congres
sional Delegate Bartlett of Alas
ka said today they would mane
"a vigorous protest" against
the air force closing of the Nome
air base.
The air force announced yes
terday that it will be closed out
by next November, witn tne pro
rpsR to becin soon.
Gruening and Bartlett said it
was "a blow at morale" for the
air force to "pull out of the only
air base in northwest Alaska."
The base is directly across the
Bering sea from Siberia.
Bartlett said the protest would
be made at once to Defense Sec
retary Johnson and Air Secre
tary Symington.
The air force announcement
yesterday said the inactivation
affects only the Arctic survival
school, which will be transferred
to Ladd field, and the airways
detachment unit, which was re
ported to include only 12 men
for handling air traffic at the
base. They are the only units at
the base.
Reports from Nome for several
weeks had told of local resi
dents' concern over closure of
the base, but an air force spokes
man in Washington had denied
twice that there was any plan to
close it.
Bartlett declared that the
closing of the base will leave all
of the northwest of Alaska, an
area larger than New England,
without air defense. He said it
would bring Alaska's air defense
575 miles inland and strip the
nation's Bering sea front line to
nothing.

'Oh, dear God, don t let me '

The audience was one of 'the
largest to hear the 31-year-old
Los Angeles evangelist since he
came here about 10 days ago to
conduct revival meetings.
Rev. Grahams sermon last
night was based on the thesis
that "no matter how deep in sin
you've gone, there's still some
body who cares."
Earlier, nearly 100 Protestant
ministers met to decide whether
Rev. Graham's revival should
end Monday night with a mam
moth rally in Boston Garden.
They decided a day of public
prayer would be held Monday
to ask God s guidance on wheth
er he should remain.
Meanwhile, Rev. Graham said
he had been invited to give the .
opening prayer at 2 p.m. Mon
day before a joint session of the
Massachusetts legislature.
Prior to that he will lunch
with Gov. Paul A. Dever and
legislative leaders.
