ever the reason, Wayne Hilliard
of Santa Ana, Calif., felt a swell

he had been elected president of

Ferry Crash
To Bring Suit
Marion county will be the
plaintiff in a law suit against the
owner and driver, or both, of a
truck which was involved in an
accident with the Wheatland
ferry on November 1, 1949. .
The truck, owned by B. J. Ca
sey of Independence and oper
ated by an unidentified man, at
tempted to drive onto the ferry
as the boat was pulling away
from the slip of the Yamhill
county side of the river.
The truck's front wheels
caught on the ferry, causing
$361.99 damage to the apron of
the ferry.
The county court was notified
by letter Thursday that the
owner and driver of the truck
are in the opinion that the acci
dent was caused by negligence
on the part of Marion county,
operator of the ferry.
It is the opinion of the county
court that the truck driver was
at fault, so the court ordered
District Attorney E. A. Stadter
to enter court action against the
truck driver or owner, or both.
for Prob
A story of a kidnap-holdup
told by James E. Byers of 1715
North 20th street, was under In
vestigation Thursday by Salem
detectives.
Byers told officers that he had
been drinking beer in the Fair
grounds tavern Wednesday night
when two men offered to give
him a ride to another drinking
spot.
When he accepted the offer
and the trip started, Byers charg
ed that one of the men "stuck
something in his ribs." He was
taken outside the city limits
along Silverton road, ordered
out of the car and told to strip,
When the men thumbed
through his wallet and found
only three or four dollars, they
told him to dress and take them
somewhere where he could get
them some additional cash.
Byers related that he promis
ed to borrow some money for
them at Carr s tavern, but when
the trio arrived there, the estab
lishment was closed.
He told police that he led the
two men to believe that he could
secure additional money for
them at his home and that they
drove him there.
Then, he explained, the two
men sped off in their car the
moment he stepped out.

Flood Threat
(Continued from Page 1)
On the basis of that warning
and because of backwater roll
ing through openings near the
south end of the front-line levee,
about 9,000 residents of the
floodway lands have fled their
homes.
Refugees Transported '
Carried out by trucks, boats
and amphibious army ducks, the
refugees have streamed through
this small Missouri city and the
nearby town of East Prairie since
Monday.
Almost a 1,000 have been
quartered in abandoned army
barracks at Maiden, Mo. The
others have found housing with
friends and relatives and in tents
issued by the Red Cross. The
Red Cross, however, has ceased
issuing tents at the request of
the Missouri health department.
The Red Cross has urged the
tented refugees to go to Maiden
in busses provided for them.
Chapters and army posts in the
south and midwest have sent
huge food and bedding supplies
into Maiden. The center there
is equipped to handle 5,000 re
fugees.
While the army engineers
statement at Memphis indicated
the Cairo district flood threat
was easing, the engineers are
ready for an emergency. They
moved bulldozers and other
equipment onto the levees near
here yesterday. This equipment
will be used to flood the spill
way should the river surge above
the anticipated crest.
Dynamiting
(Continued from Page 1
President John P. Busarello of
the United Mine Workers' dis
trict five wouldn't hazard a
guess on whether his staff could
get the striking miners back at
work Monday. He declared:
"We union leaders simply
have to get across to the miners
in our lectures that Mr. Lewis
suggestion that they return to
work amounts to an order."
Walkout Continued
Last week, Lewis suggested
the 69,000 diggers on an unex
plained strike go back to work.
Instead, most of them continued
the walkout. The few who did
return were replaced by other
thousands. Then some more join.
ed in. By the time the juggling
was over, 90,000 miners were on
strike.
Unpredictable John L. hasn't
given any further suggestions,
Busarello declared. The Pitts
burgh man added:
"We don't need any further
word. We're going to try and get
the men back to work on the
three-day week ordered by Mr.
Lewis."
Busarello's statement came on
ly a few hours after the govern
ment launched a move toward
getting coal mined on a five-day
week basis. And it came amid
reports of mounting fuel and
power shortages.
Weather

Several awnings fell under the

one at Jim's Shoe shop on High

inforced by bracing them from
the sidewalks. At Olson's Flow

dow was broken by the collapse
of an awning.
Some public and organization
meetings cancelled yesterday

day, but the Chamber of Com
merce board of directors post
poned its meeting Wednesday
night for a week.
Birds were having a rugged
time and householders were urg
ed to toss out a little food for
their feathered friends. Warm
pans of drinking water were also
advised for the birds.
Early Thursday the main In
convenience and hazard for
pedestrians was the glaze of ice
on the snow or on walks from
which snow had been removed.
Later it was slush and water In
the gutters.
For two dayi city trucks have
been hauling snow from the
streets and dumping It into Mill

At Salem Boathouse a sea

pontoons breaking beneath it,
which may or may not have been

rain late Wednesday afternoon,

At the time the heaviest storm

kid did "a pretty darned good
Job."
Other crooners admitted that
Gary's youthful, clear voice
sounded Just like his old man1
did 20 years ago and that they
were worried about the competi

'A Crosby without hair was
bad enough," Frank Sinatra

Gary got off to a good start'
when a Washington radio execu

But Gary still has two years
at San Jose prep school, near
San Francisco, then four years
of college before him, Crosby
said.
'His future is educational,"
the balding crooner added. "He
will probably go to Stanford

having the edge.
"It's the only school around
here that can win a bowl game."

About 90,000 miners in seven
states stayed away from the pits
entirely this week, refusing to
work even the three days Lewis
has ordered for the industry as
a whole. This was the third
straight week in which key
groups of miners have quit work
completely.
Lewis has mildly suggested
that the completely idle coal
miners return to their Jobs, a
suggestion many ignored. This
may become the basis for a Lew
is argument against the Den
ham court plea; that he had al
ready asked the miners to re
turn to work, but they didn t as
a protest against lack of a work
contract.
Some lawmakers, including
Senator Taft (R-Ohio), who have
been urging President Truman
to act under the Taft-Hartley law
to halt the three-day week be
cause of lack of coal, expressed
doubt that Denham can do the
same thing under another sec
tion of the labor law.
Ice was used to cool beverages
and preserve food as far back as
the time of the Romans.
Gary would bo successful.
"I could even quit and be his
agent," he said.
Comedian Bob Hope, at a tern
porary loss for words, withheld
immediate comment on the Cros
by father-and-son show.
This was despite an exchange
of banter between Gary and
Bing about girls, Uncle Ever
ett, shaving and kindred topics
in a manner dear to the hearts of
Hope and Crosby.
The San Francisco studio aud
ience on hand when the show
was tape-recorded Monday night
gave Gary a 15-second ovation
after his song.
Bing, who has four other boys,
was busy doing another pro
gram and didn't hear last night's
broadcast.
"But I heard the tape record
ing the other day," he said, "and
he did okay."

Courthouse
(Continued from Page 1)
The new courthouse will con
tain over three times as much
floor space as the old county
edifice. The new building will
have about 104,000 square feet;
tne present building has but 32,-
000.
A few minor changes must
still be made in the building's
interior. They include the ar
rangement of some of the of
fices, vaults, rest rooms, eta.
When Belluschi completes these
alterations, he will return to
Salem for a meeting with the
commission. Once the entire set
of plans is awarded approval, ha
will start making up the actual
blueprints.
The county will probably open
bids for the courthouse as soon
as blueprints are available.
Another move taken by tha
courthouse commission Wednes
day was the adding of $80,000
to the previous cost limit of tha
courthouse.
The extra amount was the
estimated cost of adding two
wings extending out frayn tha
front of the building on either
side. The addition of these wings
was recommended by the com
mission in their earlier meet
ing with Belluschi this month.
The $80,000 alloted Wednes
day brought the financial out
lay for the new courthouse to
about $1,580,000. Of this
amount, $1,350,000 will be read
ily available by the time tha
building is completed.
Any amount over and above
$1,350,000 would have to be
raised through additional tax
levy, county sale of timber land,
etc. Money has been going into
a courthouse fund for the last
10 years. There was $839 000
actually in the fund on January
4, 1950, not figuring money
which had already been collect
ed by the treasurer and not yet
placed In the fund.
During the process of tearing
down the old building and put
lng up the new, offices now
housed In the courthouse will ba
moved, for the greater part, to
the school administration build
ing. The county offices will oc
cupy the space now held by stata
offices there. The state offices
will move out of the school ad
ministration building when tha
new Public Service building la
ready for occupancy.
One of the major problems
involved in the temporary shift
ing of offices will bo the hand
ling of prisoners In the county
Jail. They will probably havo
to be spread out to other county
Jails in Albany, Dallas and Ore
gon City.
