1 Police Conduct First Bicycle Auction Bicycles picked up
by Salem police and held for 60 days without claim by owners
were sold at auction this morning. Shown is Auctioneer Clyde
Warren, chief of police, who had just sold a somewhat dis
mantled boneshaker for $3.25.
$111.50 Realized From
Police Sale of Bicycles
There was no chanting, no sing song whines, no typical auction
eer style of working up bids when more than a score of bicycles
went up for sale Saturday at the City shops.
The auctioneer was none other than Police Chief Clyde A.
Warren, who climbed atop a pocking crate in the chilly garage at
13th and Ferry streets to see tharf-
the sale went off on schedule.
A throng of some 75 men,
women, boys and children tossed
aside cares about snow and storm
to jam the unheated building to
bid on the unclaimed bicycles
which police took into custody.
The auction was conducted
under a new ordinance recently
approved by the city council to
permit the police to dispose of
property which is found aban
doned and not claimed during a
period of 60 days.
Long before 10 a.m. when the
sale was slated to start, the
crowd began to congregate. At
the deadline, Chief Warren out
lined terms of the sale and im
mediately called for bids.
A conditional title by which
the city promised to refund
money should true owners be
discovered for the property was
issued to each purchaser. Each
bicycle or part was sold sep
arately, primarily to permit the
youngsters in the crowd to get
a chance at the equipment.
The first bicycle hoisted upon
the chief's stand for sale was
missing a rear wheel and nu
merous other parts.
The first bid was for a dollar.
By steps of a quarter and fifty
cents it climbed to $3, and the
first sale was made at that
point.
For approximately an hour,
the bidding continued. Many
of the group, obviously parents
held a dollar edge of the young
er participants, but one youth
caught the fancy of the chief
For each usable bike, he fol
lowed the bidding to $5.50. He
never been able to go beyond
that, but his determination didn't
wane through the sale.
The total collected by the city
for the auctioned equipment was
$111.50.

Clark to Seek
Taxi License
Don Clark, taxicab owner-
driver who Friday was acquit
ted on a charge of contributing
to the delinquency of a minor,
praises the work of his attorney,
Bruce Williams, and raps the
newspaper handlers of the entire
taxi vice scandal.
Clark, one of 14 men alleged
ly involved in immoral relations
with a 14 year old minor girl,
was found not guilty on the con
tributing charge by a jury of
six men and six women in a
trial which terminated in Mar
ion county circuit court Friday
afternoon.
Highlights of the day and a
half of court proceedings was
the brilliant defense presented
by Williams, young Salem at
torney who has been practicing
law only slightly over one year.
Next step to be taken by Clark
and his attorney win Be to ap-
pear before the Salem city coun-
of uiarks license to operate a
cab company.
The council has been holding
the matter in abeyance pending
outcome of Clark's jury trial.
Now that he has been found in
nocent, he will ask the council
for his license. Clark is owner
and manager of Capitol Cab
company, comprised of five tax
icabs. Portland Club

ever," added the Salem business
manager, "the burden of turn
ing out a winning combination
is placed squarely on my shoul
ders. It will be up to me to pro
duce." Beard's Status Uncertain
The status of Bill Beard has
not been definitely determined
and there is a possibility that he
may be on the Senator roster in
the capacity of a catcher.
Dissatisfied with the results of
last season's competition insofar
as the Senators were concerned,
an effort was made last fall to
induce public backing for the
purchase of the franchise and
the ball park.
When nego tiations failed,
Howard Maple and a group of
associates entered into the pic
ture but failure to raise the
amount of money the Beavers
asked as well as inability to get
together on operating terms
prevented a deal being made.
Sfadter to Present
Weed Control Opinion
District Attorney E. O. Stad
ter will present to the county
court Monday a legal opinion on
the proposal for a Marion coun
ey weed control district.
The matter came to his atten
tion Saturday when a petition
asking that the county set up a
project to control weeds was
presented to the county court.
The petition was signed by 355
residents of Marion county who
claimed they represented 54,150
acres of land.
The petition particularly re
quested control of Tansy Rag
wort and Ulex Europeus (gorce).
Financing of the proposal
would probably present the big
gest headache, agreed Stadtcr

7 Puppies to
Continue Diet
The seven Chesapeake retriev
er puppies owned by A. C. Frie
sen of route 5, Salem, will ap
parently continue to live on a
diet of a special formula which
uses syrup as its basis.
I
Mrs Friesen said Saturday
that four persons have brought
would-be foster mothers for the
puppies to the Friesen farm, but
that none of the four mother
dogs would allow the Friesen
pups to nurse from them.
At least one other offer, that
of the owners of a Dayton. O.
dog, is still pending.
However, the Friesens think
ihey will continue to feed their
pups with the formula mix, since
they seem to be thriving on it
K&F Club Hears
Harding Talk
Is America losing its risibil
ity?
The answer is "no" by the
response some 175 members of
the Salem KniJe and Fork club
gave Ed Harding of Washington,
N. C, Friday night at the Mar
ion hotel.
The diners forgot all about
world problems as they heard
the humorist indulge in a story
telling orgy of some 60 minutes.
Starting off with sketches con
cerning the wives of the presi
dents of the United States, Har
ding worked his way into a
chain of yarns that kept" his
audience roaring.
As the humorist admitted
some of the stories were old
but his manner of relating them
made them brand new for most
of those present.
The next meeting of the K
and F club is scheduled for
February 17 with Judge George
W. Hardy of Shreveport, La.,

Air traffic was grounded.
Trains ran hours behind sched

1000 Cars Marooned
Upwards of 1,000 cars were
reported marooned in various

Dozens of communities were

The weather bureau at Seattle

The blizzard, caused by the
merging of two storms, spread

Jobless Aid
(Continued from Page 1)
Covered payrolls for the first
three quarters of 1949 reached
$704,603,936 compared with
$716,201,241 a year ago for the
same period.
Although covered employ
ment dipped to 268,000 during
last winter's prolonged cold
spell, the average number of
covered jobs during 1949 was
expected to remain above 300,
000. With nearly as many more
persons occupied in activities
not covered by unemployment
compensation law, Oregon's to
tal labor force was expected to
average nearly 600,000, about 50
percent above the pre-war fig
ure of 1940.
Seasonal lay-offs during ihe
final four months of the year in
creased unemployment friim
36,000 to 69,000, but the changes
were much less rapid than
year ago, when 72,000 were
thrown out of work during the
September-February decline.

Snowfall
(Continued from Page 1)
In Portland, downtown areas
had but a thin blanket of snow
while in other sections of the
city in the northeast areas, drifts
piled up to as high as six feet,
and the weather bureau reported
an official measurement of eight
inches for the city.
To the east of Portland on the
Columbia highway's upper reg
ions, more than 100 cars and
trucks were listed as stalled due
to drifts.
Many sections of the Pacific
highway, as well as the North
and South Santiam highways
and the Dallas-California high
way were all reported closed by
the snow.
Power Blackout
Most of Roseburg was with
out power from 1 p. m. Friday
on. Heavy rains and wind
brought on the blackout there,
then snow came, nearly seven
inches falling during the night
there.
Corvallis was listed with 10
inches of snow this morning;
Eugene with three to six inch
es; Grants Pass with three inch
es.
Eastern Oregon fared worse
in the blizzard-hke storms, be
low-zero temperatures being re
corded in several sections, in
eluding Pendleton, which was

While there have been more
severe storms in years past in
Salem, also colder temperatures,
the combination of the snow and
cold, along with the severe
wind, which in some peak gusts
hit BO miles an hour velocity
Friday, and the downpours of
rain made it a stand-out storm
for the records.
So far this January up to
10:30 a. m. Saturday a total
of 11.4 inches of snow has been
measured here. In January,
1943, a total of 22.1 inches was
recorded, the heaviest fall at

measured on January 21 of that
year.
