79 Pints of Blood Donated
In Salem Despite Cold Spell
A total of 79 pints of blood was donated at "American Legion
donor day" Monday when the mobile unit from the Portland
regional blood center set up operations at the American Legion
club.
Although short of the hoped-for 100 pints, the total was rated
"remarkable" by the unit, con
sidering weather conditions. Up
on arrival here at noon, the unit
oficials said they did not expect
to get more than 50 pints.
The visitation was a special
one arranged by Capital post
No. 9, American Legion, the first
time in the regional center a
Legion post has sponsored a
visit by the mobile unit. The
blood program is a community
(service approved by the Oregon
department of the Legion.
A majority of the donors
Monday were Legion members.
A large number of donors were
"drop-ins," those unable to
make previous appointments,
and several were replacements
for blood given friends or rela
tives. Dr. W. L. Lidbeck of Sa
lem was in charge of the unit
for the visitation, the regular
physician traveling with the
unit being unable to attend Mon
day. Several Legion auxiliary mem
bers assisted at the visiation in
looking after the donors. Mrs.
Austin H. Wilson Sr., of the
auxiliary was in charge of the
nurses aides serving for the af
ternoon and Mrs. Donald Madi
son, also of the auxiliary, was
In charge of the canteen.
Regular monthly visitation of
the unit to Salem will be Febru
ary 14, operations to be carried

Says Big Stores
Evading Taxes
Washington, Jan. 31 (U.R) Rep.
Noah M. Mason (R., 111.) charged
today that "tax dodgers hiding
behind tax exempt fronts" le
gitimately beat the U.S. treas
ury Qut of $1,000,000,000 in
taxes each year.
Mason named "lax exempt
fronts" organized by corpora
tions, churches, colleges, labor
unions and cooperatives.
Writing in the American
magazine, he cited, among many,
C. F. Mueller Co., one of the
nation's largest macaroni pro
ducers; R. H. Macy & Co., New
York department store; Lit
Bros., Philadelphia department
store, and the giant $60,000,000
Textron Corp., as being involved
in what Mason called "deals"
with charitable or educational
groups which permit them to
escape paying some taxes.
"I am not criticizing the or
ganizations that make these
profits by taking advantage of
the laws," Mason wrote . , . "It
is the law that needs changing."
President Truman has called
on congress to plug such loop
holes, particularly where char
itable and educational groups
are concerned.
Mason said that a "spectacu
lar example" of the way tax
laws permit business profits to
go untaxed is the California &
Hawaii Sugar Refining com
pany.
He says the company pays no
taxes, although it "makes mil
lions of dollars in profits," be
cause it is a cooperative. He said
businessmen dominate the com
pany, but since they also own
plantations they have formed
farmers' co-op and the company
has not paid "a federal income
tax since 1027."
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture recommends the use of
lindane, a new Insecticide, to
control flies in dairy barns and
milk plants.

plane immediately after it crash
ed into the trees 100 yards from
the mountain peak at 12:15 p.m.
(CST) yesterday.
Two uninjured crew members
were stoking a huge campfire to
keep the men warm as the rescue
party staggered into the clearing
after a two and a half hour trek
past jagged precipices through
waist deep snow and over rocky
crags.
It was an eight-mile trek from
a point on the Carcross highway
21 miles south of here to the
crash scene and we had to climb
3,000 feet to reach the plane.
All the rescue party wore
snowshoes, and two of the hus
kiest plowed ahead to break
trail along the marks left by the
pilot, Lt. Charles R. Harden, in
his heroic plunge through the
forest to get help.
The rescue party dragged
stretcher-sleds loaded with med
ical supplies, blankets and food
through the fantastically rugged
wilderness. In spots, we scram
bled along the edge of cliffs
that dropped a sheer 40 or 50
feet into the valley hanging onto
overhanging tree limbs.
By the time we got near the
crash scene, the search party
doctors, Maj. Gordon Fisher and
capt. Henry Krawczyk from
Camp Carson, Colo., had given
first aid to the survivors. They
also bundled them well In sleep
ing bags there were plenty of
those and strapped stretchers
to sleds for the return trip.
It was hard to believe how Lt.
Harden, his face broken and
bleeding, had fought his way to
the highway over that rugged
country.
The crew told us how the
plane, searching for the miss
ing U. S. transport with 44 per
sons on board, had been caught
in a down draft as it skimmed
low over the treetops.
The airspeed fell from 140
miles an hour to 70 and Harden
knew if he gunned the motor
the machine might plow into
the mountain.
As it was, it came down almost
like a helicopter, slicing off i
few trees as it spun complete
ly around.
It was demolished.
Some of the chopped-off trees
fell on the plane. One huge tun
ber cut it in half like a giant
scimitar.
All the men aboard were hurl
ed into the front of the machine
The three injured were unable
to move. As gasoline spilled
over the plane from one of the
motors, tne other crew mem
bers seized the injured and haul
ed them to safety. But there was
no fire.
Lebanon Lloyd Moody, 19,
of Lebanon is in the city jail
serving out a $15 fine assessed
in city court on charges of oper
ating a motor vehicle without a
driver's license. According to
police records, Moody was

to appear in court.
