testimony of city representa
tives, and the remainder of the

Bad Weather
Snowbound in Seattle after
making a flight to the Naval Air
Reserve Training unit there, Lt.
Comdr. Wallace Hug, officer in
charge of the Salem Naval Air
facility Friday evening at 6:10
o'clock made it back to Salem

ing. That day he got only a short
distance the other side of Van
couver, Wash., and was forced
to return to Salem because of
road conditions.
The following morning the
weather cleared enough for Hug,
who was accompanied by Chief
James Brown, to take off in one
of the Beachcrafts at the facili
ty for Seattle. Once in Seattle,
however, the weather again took
over and Wednesday afternoon
he was forced to cancel his re
turn trip.
Thursday if marginal weather
continued he was to be flown
back to Salem in one of the
navy's larger planes at the Naval
Air station. That day the weather
was so bad that not even the
big planes could leave the
ground. The first break in the
weather did not come until Fri
day afternoon when Hug and
Brown left for Salem,

Doe Speaker at
C of C Luncheon
Riley W. Doe may be vice
president of Safeway Stores, but
to Salem Chamber of Commerce
audiences he is a good humored
philosopher who knows how to
put a stinger into his comments
on every day life.
Speaking for the third time
Monday noon at the local cham
ber Doe urged his audience to
ever bear in mind that: it is bad
public relations for the business
man to forget that he is depend
ent upon his customers; or to
assume that "we are never
wrong." For the professional
man he stated that it was not
good public relations for him to
load up his appointment book
so completely that an individual
is forced to wait an hour.
Doe pointed out that a "rear
view mirror" only reflects those
things that are already passed
as he urged his audience to look
through the windshield to deter
mine what is ahead.
He urged simplicity in han
dling public or private business.
And as for government he do
clared that "one thing to be hap
py about is that we do not get
all of the government we pay
for. If we did we couldn't stand
it."
In closing Doe urged his audi
ence to quickly reach the under
standing that "we depend upon
each other as individuals and as
communities."

a little deep for them One light
plane did make three or four
landings Monday morning, but
that was the only light plane in
the air.
Runways, the tower said, were
in better condition than they
had been Sunday, when tracks
made by the planes had frozen
Only planes landing at McNary
field Sunday were the air car

planes of the navy all remained
on the ground.
Haste Urged
(Continued from Page 1)
Meanwhile three alternative
proposals concerning the lot on
which Coatcs has a city build
ing permit on which to con
struct the apartment house, were
submitted by letter by Coates to
the capitol zoning commission.
Release of the contents of the
letter was authorized by Robert
W. Sawyer, chairman of the
commission, in a telephone mes
sage to the Capital Journal Mon
day morning from Bend.
Incidentally Mr. Sawyer said
that he was willing to contrib
ute $500 to a fund to be used
in meeting Coatcs expenses and
Herman Brookman, Portland ar
chitect, also a member of the
commission, had offered to con
tribute $1000 to such a fund.
Now Up to Salem
'From there out," Chairman
Sawyer said, "it is up to officials
and citizens of Salem to work
this important matter to a suc
cessful conclusion."
Coatcs in his letter to the com
mission sets forth costs of the
project, with $12,600 as the cost
of the Summer street lot; $15,600
for architects' fees; $960 FHA
fees for commitment; $100 for
survey and $671.50 for Salem
building fee, or a total of $2i),
931.50.
The first proposal offered by
Coates stipulates that the state
of Oregon, or anyone acting in
its behalf, purchase the property
at its original cost plus the addi
tional expenses. If this proposal
is accepted Coatcs states willing
ness to take his own chances in
obtaining another piece of prop
erty, or failing in this, abandon
the entire project.
Second Proposal
Coates' second proposal pro
vides that the state or anyone
else, obtain a substitute piece of
property in the immediate area
of the present site on which the
present architectural plans can
be used with the price not to
exceed $12,600. Coates said he
would immediately convey the
present property to the state up
on payment of the purchase
prices and assume the remain
der of the costs himself.
In the event that neither of
the two plans is accepted Coates
said he had no alternative but to
proceed with construction on
the present site.
In a preface to his proposal
Coates pointed out a formal
commitment from FHA was ap
proved on November 30, 1949,
effective for ninety days. This
was obtained after the Salem
Chamber of Commerce, he said
had aided him In obtaining the
site.
He added that the Salem
Chamber had also assisted in ob
taining FHA approval, and that
no one concerned was aware of
any capitol zone extension plans
until stories appeared in the
press on January 6, 1950.
It is probable that Governor
McKay will present the entire
subject to the board of control
Wednesday and suggest that the
state emergency board be con
vened at an early date, Lawson
McCall, the governor's secretary,
said.

Commodore Costello admit
ted his prediction was "very
optimistic" but said "if the ex
cellent visibility holds out, I
feel we will find the plane to
day." Costello took charge of
the search yesterday.
The search was the biggest,
and costliest in the history of
the northwest. More than 7,000
men were engaged in the oper
ation which already has cost
more than $1,000,000.
The weather forecaster said
conditions north of - Edition-.
ton, Alta., were getting "pro .
gressively worse." Some snow
was predicted in the Edmonton
area tomorrow night. High,
heavy overcast rolled in from
the north blanketing most of the
southeast sector of the vast
search area today but a 10,000-
foot ceiling and 10-mile visi
bility permitted almost ideal
flying conditions.
Far North Criss-Crosscd
At Great Falls, Mont., this
morning, more planes began
taking off at 15-minute intervals
to search 1,250 miles of Yukon
wilderness.
Already, scores of planes have
criss-crossed 55,000 square miles
of far north country that includ
ed every type of terrain.
On one of the planes was
Maj.-Gen. William D. Old, air
inspector for the U. S. air force.
He was to conduct an investiga

disappearance of the four-en-
gined transport.
