Dr. Jenz Talks
Sex Perversion
In a frank and matter of fact
manner, Dr. Ruth Jenz, member
of the medical staff of the Or
egon State hospital spoke con
cerning the problems of hyper
sexualism before members of
the Salem Kiwanis club Tues
day noon.
Dr. Jenz spoke of her exper
iences with five cases which
came to her attention at the hos
pital, most of whom were self
committed because they realiz
ed their predicaments.
The benefits to be derived
through medication are already
well known said Dr. Jenz and
there is great hope for over
sexed men in this connection
she stated. The remedy is given
in huge volume over a period
of three days, with a tapering
off in dosage thereafter.
In many instances men in
volved have glandular disturb
ances that throws them out of
physical balance.
Re-education along sex lines
should be carried on extensive
ly advised Dr. Jenz, who added
that the mere killing of the so
called pervert does not solve the
problem.

McClure Talks
On Traffic Plans
The two long range planning
commission proposals for solv
ing the east-west flow of auto
traffic in Salem and the 12th
street railroad problem were
presented Tuesday to the Salem
Junior Chamber of Commerce
by G. A. McClure, engineer for
the commission.
The engineer first explained
the most favorable solution
would be a tunnel for the main
line of the Southern Pacific
railroad under 13th street, but
the cost of that project has been
estimated at six and a half mil
lion dollars.
The second proposal dealt
with a plan to raise the railroad
and tunnel for several intersec
tions. The cost of that approach
to the problem was about one
qur.rter of the estimated cost of
the tunnel.
Prior to his talk, the Jaycees
heard reports relative to the
Harlem Globetrotter basketball
game Monday night at Willam
ette gym which had been spon
sored by the Junior Chamber.
Tl.e game was arranged by a
committee headed by Gordon
Keith.

Fire Destroys
Ranch Resort
Fire that reached several thou
sand dollars in damage practical
ly destroyed the interior of The
Ranch, dining resort at 3260
Portland road, early Tuesday
morning. It was operated by
Dave Byerley and Del Williams.
The fire department was call
ed at 3:10 a.m. Firemen believ
ed the blaze was caused by an
overheated oil stove that recent
ly showed some defect. No one
was in the building when the
fire started.
Most serious damage was to
the front part of the building and
the attic, but there was serious
smoke and heat damage in the
kitchen. Booths and their fur
niture were ruined.
Firemen reported that the fire
was difficult to fight because of
intense heat from the blaze. And
outside the building firemen had
to handle hose in below-zero
temperature. ,
Another fire occurred Tues
day forenoon at the Truman
Cummings Machine shop at 598
South 18th street, but with dam
age probably under $1000.
The Cummings fire was raus
ed by thawing out water pipes
in the bath room with an elec
tric heater. Some stock was de
stroyed and walls and ceiling
charred.
Several chimney fires were
reported during the day.
Cancer-Patient's
Metal Jawbone
Philadelphia, Jan. 31 VP)
Surgeons at a Philadelphia hos
pital disclosed today that a can
cer victim has been given a
metal jawbone as a substitute
for diseased bone.
"Unless something unusual
happens," the surgeon said, "the
patient stands an excellent
chance of suffering no recur
rence of the disease.
The operation, described as
one of the most complex of its
kind ever undertaken, was per
formed at the American Onco
logic hospital more than a year
ago. Until now, however, the
surgeons have not disclosed it in
detail.
Surgeons and patient alike de
clined use of their names.
After the three-hour operation
the patient's head was set into a
cast to prevent movement.
- All surgery was performed in
side the mouth. No scars are
apparent, doctors said. Risk of
infection was reduced by use of
new antibiotics such as penicil
lin and streptomycin.

Insane Hospital Escapee
Captured in California
Marion Watson, who escaped
at Oregon state hospital here December 2, was captured by sher
iff's officers at Stockton, Calif., Monday night, Oregon state
police were advised.
There was a possibility that Watson might be left in California
as a mental charge ot that state,s
under an unwritten agreement
among the states of Oregon,
Washington and California, ac
cording to Dr. C. E Bates, su
perintendent of the Oregon hos
pital.
The agreement is that a men
tal charge less than two years
out of any one of the three states
shall be considered a resident
of that state. Watso.i was only
five months out of California
when first committed to the Ore
gon hospital.
However, District Attorney E.
O. Stadter said he would at
tempt to extradite Watson on the
automobile theft charge that has
been lodged against him.
Watson, who engineered the
four-man break here in which
two attendants were knocked
out, was captured by Undersher-
iff Michael Canlis and Lt. Loren
Brown of San Joaquin county
sheriff's office.
Robert M. Burr. Watson's
partner in the escape, was cap
tured by FBI agents in San
Diego, Calif., Dec. 26 and re
turned to Salem.
Watson started the break De
cember 2 when he feigned ill
ness to get an attendant into his
cell. He tied the attendant with
his sheet, took his keys and re
leased Burr and the others. They
phoned to an attendant in an
outer ward that their attend
ant was hurt, then when the at
tendant came in, also overpow
ered him.
Two patients who Watson and
Burr let out, officials believe to
act as "decoys," were caught in
a matter of hours. Watson and
Burr hid in a building on the
hospital grounds then stole an
auto belonging to W. J. Wellard
hospital employe, and headed
south.
How Capital
Treats Bunche
New-York, Jan. 31 W) Dr.
Ralph J. Bunche, United Nations
official and an American ne
gro, tells in a magazine article
hod racial discrimination in
Washington, D. C, hits him.
"If I visit Washington today,"
he writes in the American Mag
azine, "I can't buy a meal, or
der a drink, see a movie, or,
with very few exceptions, rent
a hotel room, except in the ne

Bunche, after completing his
work as U.N. mediator in Pal
estine, rejected an offer of a
post as U. S. assistant secretary
of state last year. He is direc
tor of the United Nations trus
teeship department.
In his magazine article
Bunche said the American Ne

are at a heavy economic disad
vantage in job opportunities and

Kenny Testifies
To Aid Bridges
San Francisco, Jan. 31 CP)
Robert W. Kenny, former at
torney general for California.
testified today the reputation of
Harry Bridges for truth, honesty
and integrity was good.
He was another character wit
ness called on behalf of the CIO
longshore leader, on trial in fed
eral court for perjury.
The federal grand jury indict
ed Bridges on a charge he lied
when he swore at his 1945 citi
zenship hearing that he was not,
and had never been, a commu
nist.
Chief government prosecutor
F. Joseph Donohue asked Kenny
with whom he had discussed the
honesty and integrity of Bridges.
Kenny said "with various
groups."
"Name them," said the prose
cutor.
"Well, with Justice Rutledge
of the United States supreme
court," Kenny answered.
"Now dead," Donohue added,
Kenny said "yes."
D.onohue wanted to know "Did
you sponsor a dinner of the
American Youth for Democracy,
which was the successor to the
Young Communist league,
1945?"
"Yes, I remember that din
ner," Kenny testified. "I went
with Gen. Evans Carlson of the
U. S. marine corps."
"Now dead," Donohue snap
ped.
"Yes," said Kenny, "and with
Frank Sinatra, now alive."
Donohue inquired if it had
been correctly reported that
Kenny had been acting with
counsel in defense of William
Schneiderman, California com
munist party secretary, in 1939
"Yes," said Kenny, "That
counsel was Wendell Willkle

Supreme Court
Orders New Trial
The state supreme court to
day ordered the Multnomah
county circuit court to hear a
$3,150 damage suit which re
sulted from a collision of a car
and a train.
Circuit Judge James R. Bain,
Portland, had thrown the case
out of court. The high court, in
a 4 to 2 decision by Justice Har
ry H. Belt, ordered that the case
be heard.
Allan T. Finn and the Em
ployers Mutual Liability Insur
ance company of Wisconsin
sued the Spokane, Portland and
Seattle railway for $3,150.
On Jan. 17, 1947, Finn's auto
mobile struck a freight train at
Northwest Vaughn and 22nd
avenue in Portland. Finn, who
was injured, claimed that weath
er conditions made it impossible
to see the train, which was on
a rarely-used spur track.
Finn claimed the railroad was
negligent because it didn't have
flagman for the train, which
was stopped on the crossing.
The high court also reversed
Circuit Judge Frank C. Howell
of Multnomah county in a con
demnation suit by the state high
way commission.
To obtain right of way for
the new Columbia River high
way west of Troutdale, the high
way commission offered $3,000
for land owned by Mr. and Mrs.
M. A. Cerruti and Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph J. Fisher.
The offer was refused, the
commission going to court.
Judge Howell s court offered
$4,000, so the commission ap
pealed. Todays decision, by Chief
Justice Hall S. Lusk, orders
new trial in the case.

"In making this proposal, I
do not wish to interfere with
any bargaining conferences that
may assist in the settlement of
this dispute. I would appreciate
your informing me by 12 noon
Saturday, February 4, 1950, if
the normal production of coal
will be resumed on Monday,

erence to this proposal.
If production will be so re
sumed this proposal may be dis
regarded.
II you can not inform me
that normal production will be
resumed on Monday without
reference to this proposal.
would then want your reply to
this proposal by 5 p.m. Satur
day, February 4, and I urge your
acceptance in the national in
terest."
Sent to Lewis
The telegram was sent to
Lewis, and to George H. Love,
operators' spokesman for the
national bituminous wage con
ference, Pittsburgh Consolida
tion Co.; Harry M, Moses, presi
dent of the H. C. Frick Coal Co,
and Joseph . Moody, president
of the Southern Coal Producers
association.
Mr. Truman told them that
the coal dispute visits "severe
hardship upon the miners and
their families and severe eco
nomic loss upon those who have
invested in bituminous coal
mines." He said continuous pro
duction of an adequate soft coal
supply Is essential to the na
tion's economic stability, prog
ress and security.
Atomic Board
( Continued from Page 1)
Still, that much of a boost
would have tremendous effects.
The bombs which destroyed two
to four square miles of Hiro
shima and Nagasaki also killed
more than 100,000 persons and
injured about that many more,
Those bombs were officially
described as comparable in blast
power to more than 20,000 tons
of TNT. Since they were drop
ped in 1945, the uranium-plu-
tonium bombs have been stepped
up in power six to 10 times.
Double their power and you
would have a weapon equiva
lent to 120,000 to 200,000 tons
of TNT.
If the hydrogen bomb turns
out to be many times more po
tent than "ordinary" atomic
bombs, it may turn out to be the
'absolute weapon military men
have talked about but hardly ex
pected to see.
Freeze Causes
(Continued from Porc 1)
The same is said to be true of
cane berry busncs, aitnougn
continuation of sub-zero weath
er in the valley, would result in
heavy damage to both fruit and
berry trees and bushes.
Riches also reported that the
protracted cold spell, preceding
the sub-zero weather, had kept
many fruit trees dormant.
'If the sap was running in
these trees," he said, "the unus
ually cold weather would kill
them. But In many cases this Is
not true and the damage to such
trees should be light."

10 Below Zero
(Continued from Page 1)
Pop-eyed Salem folk could
hardly believe what they saw
as they read their thermometers
Tuesday morning.
After all, the weather man
should remember this is the
Willamette valley. We just don't
have weather like this, was the
general wail.
Arctic Air Bitter
The Arctic air began to be bit
icr about mid-afternoon Mon
day. The day's maximum was
reached at 2:30 p.m., 23 degrees,
and from then on the mercury
a k
Forest Grove apparently was
the coldest spot in western Ore
gon this morning, press dis
patches reporting a minimum of
-18 degrees there!
Portland listed 2 below but
the weather bureau will not
recognize the Portland and Se
attle readings as records since
the weather stations used to be
in downtown areas and now are
at the airports and minimums
run lower in the downtown re
gions. Entire State Frigid
Eugene reported three below
zero the all-time record there
was -4 in 1924. Corvallis listed
1 this morning.
In eastern Oregon the new fri
gid wave brought new seasonal
marks of below-zero tempera
tures. A slate highway commis
sion thermometer recorded i
reading of 38 below zero at Mea-
cham. Other weather reports
listed 34 below zero at Chemult,
31 below at Madras, 25 below
at Pendleton.
Southern Oregon and coast
points reported all below-freezing
marks, some of them not far
above zero. Medford hed 3 above,
Grands Pass 5 above, Newport
14 above, Roseburg 16 above,
Brookings 23 above.
Fog No Protection
Some fog hung over the low
places near the river here early
Tuesday morning, but it did not
seem to bo much protection
against low temperatures.
Burst water pipes, increased
car troubles and many other
woes were reported from all sec
tions of the valley as residents
prepared to meet the new on
slaught of winter.
The intense cold certainly did
not give the newly fallen snow
much chance to melt with result
many sections around Salem still
have 6 or bolter inches of snow
on the ground.

down.
He walked back to a store
at New Era, telephoned an Ore
gon City garage to care for his
car and then looked around for
some transportation.
A driver of a cheese truck
asked Latourctlc where he was
bound.
To Salem," answered the jus
tice.
"Hop in," invited the driver,
with the result that Justice Xa-
tourette was delivered right to
the door of the supreme court

Salem Schools
Again Reopened
Salem's public schools reopen
ed Tuesday following closure the
previous day although in some
instances attendance was consid
erably below normal.
Pupils at Liberty were sent
home when it was found impos
sible to operate the heating
plant. A succession of blown
fuses in the power line leading
to the heating plant caused the
failure.
Temporary power failures at
Swegle and Auburn resulted in
closure of those schools. The
power company remedied the
situation during the forenoon
but by that time temperatures
had gone so low that it was felt
pupils and teachers could not op
erate to advantage.
All Salem district buses made
their routes Tuesday morning
after being given an additional
supply of anti-freeze. In two
or three instances radiators froze
up after the machines had start
ed. The Keizer school sent the
youngsters home when it was
found some of the rooms could
not be brought up to a reason
able temperature. The admin
istration hopes to operate Wed
nesday if higher temperatures
prevail.

$30,000 should have been paid
to them instead of to Jones. They
accused Jones of assuming con
trol of the situation without
proper authority to do so.
The Japs got a surprise in
court Tuesday. Not only did
Judge Kimmcll award his de
cision to Jones, but he also de
cided that the Japanese had
been paid $17,574.18 more than
they were entitled to. This
amount is one-half of the total
bonuses paid to the workers in
1942.
There will apparently be no
attempt to recover the $17.-
574.18 from the Japanese.
Bruce Spaulding appeared as
attorney for Jones, while Ka
neko was counseled by three
Portland attorneys, one of them
Japanese.
