Air Facility
Heating Plant
Preliminary work for the in
stallation of the heating system
at the Salem Naval Air Facility
was begun by the George Isack
son company of Portland Mon
day. The company, awarded the
contract in December by the pub
lic works department, has al
ready moved the building to be
used as a boiler room 25 feet
south of its old location. This is
to comply with the navy's fire
regulations.
Pits were being dug at both
sides of the building Monday aft
ernoon, but work was hindered
by water filling the holes and
having to be drained off by
sump-pumps.
The Air Facility for some time
has had the boiler and the blow
ers for the heating system, both
secured from other naval Instal
lations. Republicans Meeting A

Lansing Talks
On Accidents
Captain Walter Lansing of the
Oregon state police charged that
the "accident situation is a dis
grace to our civilization" as he
addressed the Salem Kiwanis
club Tuesday noon.
The speaker went on to state
that "we work at correcting the
situation in our spare moments"
and while we pride ourselves on
our ability in an industrial way,
so far the country as a whole
has not been able to halt the
mounting death toll from high
way accidents.
Captain Lansing pointed out
that more automobiles would
operate over the highways in
1950 than ever before, but he
predicted there would be com
paratively less effort and more
careful driving. He said the
streets were too congested to
permit of carelessness on the
part of the unresponsible mo
torist. The suggestion that there
"ought to be a law," leaves Cap
tain Lansing somewhat cold as
evidenced by the statement that
you can't legislate brains or
consideration for one person to
another."
Ben Kohn, the young Korean
whom the Salem Kiwanis club
assisted in obtaining an educa
tion at Willamette university,
was a guest of the organization.
Aluminum
(Continued from Page 1)
He said Salem was chosen as
the location for the factory and
its offices because it is a good
distribution center and a good
springboard to keep pace with
the industrial development of
the northwest section of the
country.
The plant output at the start,
he said, will be 400.000 pounds
of sheet aluminum monthly, the
equivalent of 1,500,000 square
feet of aluminum. Specially de
signed machinery will be used
Much of the conversion work
is done automatically which
limits employment to some de
gree. But Amussen said local
personnel, both in factory and
offices, would be mainly used.

Blizzards
(Continued from Pace 1)
Winds reached a velocity of 56
miles per hour in the Rapid
City, S. D., area last night as the
storm howled into the tri-state
region of Minnesota and the Da
kotas. Fair, mild weather was re
ported over the southern tier of
states. Temperatures in the east
ern states were far above nor
mal. Meanwhile, flood conditions in
the midwest improved and the
threat of new serious floods in
the lower Mississippi valley eas
ed. The 12,000 residents of the
Birds Mount-New Madrid flood-
way near Charleston, Mo., await
ed word from army engineers
before returning to their homes.
Most of them fled their homes
last week after the army warn
ed it might be necessary to flood
the area to ease the pressure on
Cairo, 111., and other cities along
the Mississippi. Although the
army has indicated it would not
be necessary to flood the area
no formal notice has been giv
en. Big Sleel Chief
(Continued from Page 1)
i airless said there was "no
mystery" about the price increas
es which he described as "mod
est in character."
Annual Costs Mount
He said that U. S. Steel's coal
costs had mounted at the annual
rate of 20,000,000 in the closing
months of last year and that
freight and fuel oil were also up
nearly $13,000,000.
However, he pegged the price
hike solidly to the pension and
insurance programs.
"We favor pension and insur
ance benefits for our employes,"
Fairless said. "Our earnings,
however, are not sufficient to
permit us to absorb the large
cost involved. That is the rea
son we raised prices."
Asserting that "some still sug
gest we should absorb these in
creases because of our earnings
in early 1949 compared with the
corresponding period in 1948,"
he added:
"I cannot agree with specu
lating about profits in our cor
poration or in the steel industry
based on one-quarter or one
half year earnings at an extra
ordinary high rate of produc
tion. "Nor can I agree with those
who think we should borrow
long-term money to replace I
did not say expand, I said re
place existing facilities. If
there is any certain way to ruin
or liquidate a business, that is
it."
Snow and Ice
(Continued from Page 1)
This is believed to have been
sufficient to have brought the
total snowfall this year to
slightly more than 50 Inches at
Dallas.
21 Inches Snow Total
So far this month, Salem has
measured 21.7 inches of snow in
its various storms. The last big
general snow storm was in 1943
when 22.1 inches were recorded
for the entire month.
The new storm here started at
mid-day Monday, first snow flur
ries beginning to fall around 1
p.m. and the temperatures start
ing to drop. By 4:30 p.m. Mon
day the mercury reached freez
ing point, 32, then continued to
drop until the minimum this
morning of 24 degrees.
Portland areas were worse hit
than this section in the new
storm and farther north, Wash
ington and British Columbia had
even more intense cold and bliz
zard storms.

Silverton Girl
Shot for Hawk
Silverton, Ore., Jan. 24 Ruby
Ann Briggs, 8, is in the Silver
ton hospital receiving treatment
for a bullet wound and George
Peters, 22, Silverton, and Del-
Den Jjavis, li, oi fortlana, are
to appear in justice court, as
result of an accidental shooting
Monday afternoon.
The little girl was playing near
the home of her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Arnold Briggs, two
miles southeast of here, when
she was struck by a bullet, fired
police state, by one of the men
who were shooting at a hawk.
Both men plead guilty to
charge of shooting across a pub
lic highway when they appear-
ed before Alt O. Nelson, justice
of the peace, who released them
on bail. Sentence will be pass
ed Friday.
Police described the wound as
being in the hip, leaving her
body and re-entering between
the knee and ankle. It was fired
from a small calibre Japanese ri
fle, they state.
Council Asks
(Continued from Page 1)
Two speakers for the east sub
urban area said they wanted a
minimum of five schedules daily.
To this Wendt replied that the
Four Corners district is getting
hourly service , and that four
schedules had been restored to
the curtailed Swegle and Fruit
land districts. He said also that
a change that was made on 12th
street, and which brought a pro
test, would be changed back.
"We haven't changed a single
line that existed when our fran
chise was granted," Wendt said.
He explained that the company
hadn't consulted the city council
prior to making changes for the
reason that it became confused
by the fact a special transpor
tation committee had been
appointed by the mayor and he
thought that was the authority
to consult.
Wendt said his company lost
$41,000 in Salem in 1949, and
that with the changes recently
made it might be able to break
even.
Alderman O'Hara inquired if
I all the intended changes had been
made, and Wendt said "at least
till summer."
He said the company "would
be very happy to unload its
Salem operation."
Relative to frequent criticism
of bus drivers, whom the cus
tomers accuse of discourtesy,
Wendt admitted some "bad
apples," but defended the men
as a group.
There hasn't been a single
person who has made a com
plaint who has been willing to
come to our office and face the
man accused," he said.
Mrs. Kuphrosina English said
she liked the bus drivers. "They
have always been nice to me,"
she said, and added that she had
seen thm give personal assist
ance to riders, sometimes with
a loss of time.
One bus driver hit back hard
in reply to criticism. "All we've
been getting is a line of ridicule,"
he said. "They post a plain
clothcsman on the corner to
watch us. That's like Russia.
This is the first council meeting
have attended, and all I see
here is a lot of bickering."

demands that this country aci
to keep Formosa out of Chinese
communist hands, President Tru-I
man has barred future military
help to the nationalists.
Conquered Jap Territory
Some senators contend that
Formosa is conquered Japanesel
territory over which the UN
could place a trusteeship, with
this country as trustee.
However, Chairman Connallj
(D., Tex.) of the foreign rela
tions group said he doubts thai
the UN would be willing at thi
time to step into the Formosa
situation.
Connally told a reporter he
thinks the committee will go
ahead with plans to make $106:
000,000 in economic cooperation
administration funds available
to the Chinese nationalists until
June 30. Under present law this
fund would revert to the treas
ury February 15..
Senator Knowland (R., Calif.)

that this fund will be in addition
to any economic aid that might
be given to southeast Asia. Ache-
son has said such help offers tho
best chance of stopping thel
spread of communism from
China on the Asiatic mainland
