Saturday Night
Bath Assured to
College Students
Oregon College of Educa
tion, Monmouth, Jan. 21 Stu
dents at Oregon College of
Education are assured of their
Saturday night bath regard
less of the curtailed water
supply.
College authorities have
chartered a school bus to
transport students to the In
dependence schools for general
clean-up purposes.
Resumption of classwork
-depends upon restoration of
of the city water service
which was disrupted at the
source near Falls City. Ap
proximately half the town is
without water service with
water for heat at the college
being obtained from a well.
Only the dormitory has been
kept open as there is insuffi
cient heat for all buildings on
the campus. If the water sys
tem is restored over the week
end, classes will be held as
usual Monday.
Airport Fire
(Continued from Page 1
One pile of partially burned
paper was found outside the
building. This was on the north
side directly below a window
over the work bench. Badly
charred wood over the work
bench and a window broken by
heat indicated that a fire had
also been started on the work
bench.
Remnants of burned paper
were also found on a block di
rectly below the front of the
engine of the Stearman, owned
by Farm A i r company. This
black was cleared by Miller be
fore he left the building Friday
On the floor below the en
gine of the same plane there
was a pile of what appeared to
be burned paper and wood and
when the navy men arrived the
fuselage of the plane owned
by Monner, which was in the
east side of the building and
away from the Farm Air com
pany's plane, was afire.
Gasoline Drained
Forty-six gallons of gasoline
had also been drained from the
tank of another plane directly
to the north of the shop and the
petcock was still open when
Poet arrived about 4 p.m.
The engine of the Stearman,
which had been cleaned of oil
and grease was smoke-blackened
and the fabric on the fuselage
destroyed. This plane had
insurance on it. .
Monner's Stinson fuselage ap
parently had had a fire set near
it or under it for it had been
burned so badly that Poet said
he did not believe it could be
repaired. This fuselage, accord
ing to Poet, was insured. It was
the fuselage to the plane that
sometime back went into the
Willamette river.
Quick work on the part of the
control tower operator in spot
ting the blaze and on the part
01 the navy in fighting it pre
vented more damage. Miller re
ported seeing a small blaze to
the two navy men on duty at the
Naval Air Facility, AD1 John
Anglin and AD2 Phil Gille.
Navy Fights Blaze
Anglin using the navy's pick
up truck took two fire extin
guishers and headed for the fire
as soon as Miller contacted him.
Finding the blaze too much for
the extinguishers ne brought
the fire on the work bench un
der control and then returned
for the fire truck.
Anglin and Gille then took
the Navy Air Facilitie's fire
truck to the fire and the city
fire department was contacted.
.The navy men used fog on the
inside and turned high pres
sure on the ceiling of the build
ing and by the time the city's
three trucks, the salvage truck
and two pumpers arrived, had
the blaze under control Smoke,
however, still filled the build
ing and with the city trucks and
the Navy truck the fires were
completely extinguished, with
only minor damage to the build
ing. The Pribilof islands scaling in
dustry brings the U.S. govern
ment more than $1,000,000 a
year.
Brannan Warns
Of Farm Losses
Washington, Jan. 21 W Sec
retary of Agriculture Brannan
sounded a warning today that
the nation's entire economy i
being endangered by a $2,000,
000,000-a-year drop in farmers'
purchasing power.
In terms of 1947 dollars, farm
families have been losing pur
chasing power at that rate for
two years Brannan told a house
committee
"It could drop another $2,
000,000,000 in 1950, or another
15 percent, if farm prices aren't
improved, he said, adding:
"I cannot conceive of a grow
ing economy during a period
when agriculture is going
through an economic wringer,
We must guard against that."
Brannan's statement was re
leased by the house appropria
tions committee. He made it as
he appeared before a subcom
mittee to argue for his depart
ment's appropriation for the next
year.
He put in a plug for the "Bran
non Plan" to set up a system of
direct government subsidies for
the producers of many farm
products.
There he met immediate on-
position, with some subcommit
tee members arguing that the
cost of such a program might
run as high as $30,000,000,000 a
year.
Air Hearing
(Continued from Page 1
Now, Cochran said, he has
started negotiations with large
exporting firms which he hopes
will buy the flax for sale abroad.
He said he has arranged for
grading of flax grown in the area
hereafter and added he believes
this will enable the growers to
produce grades easily disposed
of to textile mills. He said he
does not believe the producers
will have any more trouble sell
ing their crops.
Cochran said the civil aero
nautics board has again postpon
ed a hearing which had been
for February 20 on a proposal to
take Salem off a United Airlines
route and have the city served
by West Coast Air Lines.
He reported CAB officials said
they would try to arrange the
hearing early in March at Salem.
The secretary, he said, had
urged the United States Cham
ber of Commerce to eliminate
two points in its proposed air
port program, prepared for sub
mission to the civil aeronautics
administration.
An Aluminum Plant Deal
Cochran said he believes that
plans will be worked out for the
Manganese Products corporation
of Seattle to acquire the gov
ernment constructed alumina
plant at Salem.
He added he has interested
representatives of large New
York firms in a plan to aid in
financial arrangements for the
Seattle company, which has
contract to produce manganese
at the Salem plant, to take it
over.
Cochran planned to depart for
home today.

School Buses
(Continued from Page 1
Vehicles inspected ranged
from 8-passenger station wag
ons to 72-passenger coaches, and
from 1932 to 1949 models. Prin
cipal deficiences noted by the
inspectors ranged from lack of
stop signal arm to poor brakes
and worn steering gear.
Few Wood Body Buses
The Inspectors reported that a
few wood-body buses were still
in operation in Oregon.
These outlawed buses have
avoided condemnation by being
in operation before the first reg
ulations were adopted in 1939.
Promises were obtained, howev- ,
er, that all of such buses would
be replaced before the next
school year begins, the inspectors
reported.
A majority of the buses are
owned by school districts, al
though some are owned by pri
vate contractors and under lease
to the districts. In all cases the
district is responsible for school
transportation and safety of the
pupils, Capt. Lansing said.
Some Overcrowding
Inspector found some over
crowding in school buses. One
case was cited where a panel
truck with a maximum allowa
ble capacity of 13 students was
carrying 21 pupils on wooden
bench scats. The rear emergen
cy door was completely blocked
by scats and could not be op
ened from the inside in any em
ergency. This bus was ordered
out of service. Clackamas coun
ty reported the largest number
of school buses in operation with
108, closely followed by Lane
county with 106. Gilliam coun
ty was low with four.
Nearly 100 bus drivers were
briefed on the new law requir
ing traffic to stop for buses and
on driver regulations. The safe
ty division plans to expand the
driver training phase of the pro
gram while continuing to inspect
new buses and recheck old ones,
Capt. Lansing said.
