Wins Land Suit
The state supreme court re
versed today a Marion county
circuit court decision in a prop
erty dispute.
L. P. Bartholomew, Salem ar
chitect, had agreed to buy for
$6500 a tract of land south of
Salem from Mrs. Constance Ba
son. It was learned later that part
of this property contained a de
dicated street which Mrs. Bason
didn't own. The street, however,
had never been built.
Bartholomew wanted to. go
ahead with the contract, but
making allowance for the street.
Mrs. Bason wanted to cancel the
whole deal.
Former Circuit Judge E. M.
Page of Marion county agreed
with Mrs. Bason that the deal
should be cancelled.
Today's decision by Justice E.
C. Latourette ruled that Bartho
lomew should get the property,
but that he should get it for
$750 less than the $6500 price
because of the dedicated street.

Seeks Raise in
School Taxes
Marble Cook, a spokesman for
the Oregon Education associa
tion, outlined arguments in fa
vor of the" "Children's Bill"
Tuesday for members of the Sa
lem Junior Chamber of Com
merce.
Armed with charts and
graphs, Cook predicted that the
number of schoolchildren, teach
ers and buildings in Oregon
would double within a decade.
Among other arguments
pointed to in favor of increased
financial assistance to school
districts out of state funds as
provided for by the bill Cook
favored were the needs of meet
ing the population problem as
well as general improvements in
the education system.
The so-called children's bill
is House Bill 193 and will be
submitted to the voters in No
vember. It calls for the levy of a
state property tax to boost sup
port from $50 to $80 a student.
Money raised by this property
tax would be offset by income
tax surpluses, Cook claimed,

Kiwanians See
A New Light
Complexions of people change
from a sallow tone to one of
warmth, steaks take on a new
liveliness and flowers become
much brighter under the illum
ination of a new type of light
that has been developed by the
General Electric company.
A demonstration in contrasts
between the present standard
lamps and the new fluorscent
type was presented by represen
tatives of the G. E. company
during Tuesday's Kiwanis club
luncheon. Two booths were
used to bring out the contrasts
"warm white" and "cool
white."
The new light which was
brought about through the dis
covery of a process which adds
red to the illumination, has been
perfected but is not currently in
supply to fill the demands of
merchants and homes.
New members introduced dur
ing Tuesday's luncheon were
Earl Wiper, Everett de Weese,
Guy Atwood and Allen Stevens.
Members of the scout troop
sponsored by the Kiwanis club
were luncheon guests.
Next Tuesday s luncheon will
be held at the naval reserve
building.
Flood Threat
(Continued from Page 1)
On the upper Willamette,
which is the center for starting
flood troubles, the river meas
ured 3.1 feet at Eugene Tuesday
morning and was rising. The
station there, however, did not
have as substantial a boost as
did the Salem one Tuesday,
Flood stage at Eugene is 12 feet.
Moderate Rises Forecast
General forecast is for moder
ate to substantial rises in the
rivers of the valley during the
next two days. The weather out
look is for cloudiness tonight and
Wednesday with occasional
showers and but little change in
temperatures.
The soil conservation service
reported that partial snow sur
veys reveal the snowpack at
scattered stations has the high
est water content in the region's
records.
The Santiam junction is list
ed with a content of 33.8 inches
of water compared to the aver
age of 14.4 for this time of year!
the Marion Forks with 27.8
inches compared to a normal of
8.2 inches. The readings are all-
time records.
Meanwhile, the weather bu
reau at Seattle ordered storm
warnings hoisted along the
Washington and Oregon coasts
Tuesday morning, the forecast
being for southerly winds of 30
to 40 miles an hour, and small
craft warnings were posted at
the same time for the inland wa
ters of Washington.
Blame British
(Continued from Page 1)
The secret pact was regarded
by Bricker and others as perti
nent to the case. They feel rt
may have opened the way . for
foreign scientists to come to the
United States to work on the A
bomb without U.S. security
checks.
Bricker said he intended to
ask the "proper witnesses"
about it.
Senator H i c kenlooper (R-
Iowa) sought unsuccessfully to
get the text of the agreement
last year during the investiga.
tion of the atomic energy com
mission. Hoover was quoted by law
makers as having told the ato
mic committee yesterday it was
unfortunate the British arrested
Fuchs as early as they did.
It was the FBI director s posi
tion, these legislators said, that
others might have been drawn
into the net more easily if the
arrest had been delayed.
Hoodoo Ski Bowl

there would permit students
south of State street and in West
Salem to attend the new struc
ture. The shift of students then out
of the present Salem high school
would leave enough room in that
building for additional junior
high students. In the case of the
proposed South Salem high
school, there would be enough
room until the bumper crop of
children reached high school
age for the equivalent of an
other junior high student body.
Bennett favored this plan be
cause it would meet senior high
school needs for probably an
other 15 years and would meet
junior high school needs for an
other eight years. During those
eight years, a check on popula
tion increase and population shift
in the city could be watched to
offer recommendations for per
manent junior high school loca
tions. Bennett said expansion of the
present high school was im
possible in its location. He de
scribed the addition of a South
Salem high school as the best
solution since the one new build
ing would result in the equiv
alent of two more junior high
schools by the gain in the two
high schools of additional space.
The high schools, according to
this plan, would serve for about
eight years as combination high
schools and junior highs.
He estimated that within an
other nine years Salem would
need 132 more elementary class
rooms. He put the cost of such
classrooms at $25,0OC a piece
This would amount to three and
one-half to four million dollars.
Junior high schools in the next
11 years are estimated to cost
$3 millions. The total for all
school needs, according to his
figures, would amount to $9 or
$10 millions in the next 10 to 15
years.
