Realtors Talk
Trade Problems
Members of the Salem Board
of Realtors delved into prob
lems of their own profession
during their Friday luncheon
program, discussing such mat
ters as racial restrictions and
ethics involved when two firms
have had a hand in the sale of
a given piece of property.
The racial question which in
volves F.H.A. loans proved
something of a hot potato and
further discussion will be had
next Friday. It is understood
racial restrictions imposed prior
to February 15 do not jeopar
dize the possibility of securing
a F. H. A. loan.
It was stated during the ques
tion and answer session that ab
stracts, as a means of recording
the history of property are grad
ually disappearing from the
scene. Title insurance men stat
ed that their type of instrument
covers 95 percent or more of the
transactions.
The board of experts includ
ed Leo Page, Robert Powell,
Wesley Stewart, Robert Smith
and Leo Ohmart.

Apartment House Location Approved by FHA This prop
erty at 1165 Chemeketa street has been approved by the FHA
as a location for the Robert T. Coates apartment house project
if the building plans are not changed. Coates will now form
ally ask the FHA for permission to transfer from 555 North
Summer. Surveyors are shown at work on the lot. Frank
D. Talbot, Portland civil engineer, is shown with the transit,
and L. D. Grady of Portland is the flagman.
New Location
(Continued from Page 11
The building, designed for 36
apartments and to be seven
stories high, was originally
planned for 555 North Summer,
and a city permit was issued.
That conflicted with an exten
sion of the capital building zone
as recommended by the state
capitol planning commission,
and pressure was exerted to get
Coates to move the project else
where. He was cooperative He made
several proposals, one of which
was that he would take the proj
ect to another location if the
state would take the Summer
street property off his hands at
a sum amounting to what he had
paid for it plus some small in
cidental expenses. The state
emergency board followed up by
appropriating $14,250 for the
purpose.
New Post Office

building at Kingwood and Sec
ond streets in West Salem to be

ing which means that three foot
carriers and two rural route op
erators will work out o the
place. The personnel will be
transferred from the Salem post-
office, Postmaster Albert C.
Gragg states.
Bids for the building were
asked several months ago but

West Germany
(Continued from Page 1
Political bickering stalled the
West German government plan
to spend 3,400,000,000 marks
($850,000,000) to provide jobs
for 1,000,000 unemployed in the
federal republic.
Leftist socialists won parlia
mentary adoption of their previ
ous resolution catling on Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer's gov
ernment for a program to deal
with the 1,900,000 jobless in
West Germany, whose estimated
population is 95,000,000,
Adenauer submitted his plan
to parliament yesterday. He;
sought to have it approved be
fore the socialist demand was
voted on to keep the socialists
from sharing in the credit for
the program.
A number of government sup
porters, however, left the par
liamentary chamber during the
10 hours of debate that followed.
Socialists who outsat the gov
ernment forces then secured a
favorable vote on their original
motion, instead of on Adenauer's
plan.
The government now must re
submit its program or offer an
other.
Ardenauer's plan called for in
tcrnal loans, chiefly for construc
tion to relieve West Germany's
acute housing shortage. Gov
ernment financing also would
aid long-term contracts, railway
projects, small business, com
munications and jobless refu
ges. Wallace Sells
(Continued from Page 1)
The purchase was made as an
investment and it was announc
ed that tenants will not be dis
turbed. The property has been
owned by the Valley Motor com
pany for 35 years. Members of
the Steeves estate are Mrs. Mu
riel Morse, Mrs, Conrad P. Paul
son, represent! ng Thomas!
Steeves, a minor, Richard
Steeves and Robert Steeves.
Old Paulus Cannery
The old Paulus cannery build
ing, bought from Paul Wallace
by Wallace Bonesteele, was
built by A. Myers about the year
1870, when he and associates
planned to manufacture water!
wheels and agricultural imple-j
ments. The building was first
known as the Agricultural
works, but Myers soon went out:
of business.
Later the building was occu
pied by a planing mill, a bag!
factory, a fanning mil! factory,!
and it is believed an upper floor
was once used as a skating rink.
Near 1886 Thomas Holman
had Salem's first electric plant
in the building The building was
gutted by fire about 1888, and
what had once been a three-story
structure was rebuift as a two-
story building. In 1890 and for
some years after a sto'age ware
house was located in the build
ing. In First World War days
Gile & Jenks had their prune
packing plant there and logan
berry juice was bottled in the
basement. .
A newer south section of the
building was erected about 190?
The building is 150 by 165 feet,
or a quarter block. It is really
a combination of two buildings,
the section on the north side 60
by 185 and on the south side 40
by 80 feet, and has a full base
ment. It is a brick structure with
walls 22 inches thick, and foot
ings are of stone five feet thick.
Both Southern Pacific and Ore
gon Electric tracks are available
to the building.
Bonesteele is now dismantling
parts of the building. He said
he hoped within a few months
to have it in condition for rent
al, possibly for warehousing or
wholesale purposes.

day where he will attend a three

HopmenTold
(Continued from Page 1)
Ballard said that whether the
hop growers liked governmental
control together with subsidies,
such aids to producers, probably
moderated somewhat, would re
main for many years to come.
The six million farmers of
the nation will be asking for
federal aid," he said, "and when
they get the financial aid regu
lation will naturally come with
it."
Hep Research Program
A hop research program con
ducted jointly by the slate ex
periment stations in Oregon,
Washington, California and Ida
ho and the United States agri
culture department was ex
plained to the hop growers by

charge of the survey.
The morning session of the
convention opened with the
showing of a film produced by
John I. Haas, Inc., hop operat
ors in three western states, show
ing hop growing operations from
early spring until the crop has
been picked and baled and ship
ped to market.
The afternoon session, with
Dean H. Waiker, presiding, in
cluded the showing of a film
depicting the California hop in
spection service and a market
agreement panel discussion.
Friday night the annual ban
quet of the association will be
held at the Crystal Gardens
with Robert F. Magutre, Port
land attorney, as the principal
speaker. Waller Leth, former
county agent of Monmouth, will
be toastmaster. Large attend
ance made it necessary to move
the banquet from the hotel to
the Crystal Gardens,
aaturaay morning the con
vention will hear a talk by Sen
ator Wayne Morse, who Is mak
ing a special trip from Eastern
Oregon to meet the hopmen.
Following the address the dele

make an inspection of the Sa
lem piant of Sick's brewery

teg a child born last June.
"Have you ever thought of
marrying this girl?" the magis
trate asked, pointing to the un
wed mother.
'I would have married her i
she had asked me," he said.
The judge looked startled.
'Does she have to ask you?
Can't you ask her? he question

Fuchs Admits

The mild-mannered Fuehs,

his thick spectacles as the prose
cutor, Christmas Humphreys,
labelled him a "political fanatic
on the payroll of a foreign
power."
The prosecution produced

Fuehs, describing himself as
"schizophrenic Cspht personal

into two compartments. One;
permitted hint to carry on!
agreeable contacts with those
around him at the Harwell atom
plant. The other established hira

In the statement, Fuehs was
said to have asserted that when
he learned the kind of work he
was to do in Britain. I decided
to inform Russia and I estab
lished contact through another
member of the communist
party."
"Since that time I have had
continuous contact with persons
completely unknown to me ex
cept that they would give infor
mation to the Russians, thi
statement said.
At this time I had complete
confidence in the Russian policy
and I had no hesitation in giving
ail the information I had.
I believed deliberately the
western allies allowed Germany
and Russia to fight each other
to (he death.
Paid Money by Russia
Humphreys, m his opening
statement, declared that Fuchs
received money from Russian
agents after he began giving
them atomic research secrets in
1942.
Fuchs, described as a brilliant
physicist, was interned in Eng
land in 1S40 but was released
in 1842 to aid in British A-bomb
research. He was given natural
ization papers and came to the
United States in 1943 with a
British research team to work
with Americans on the atom
bomb.
At various times during the
war he visited both the Oak
Ridge, Tenn., uranium plant and
the laboratory at Los Alamos,
N, Mex., where the workTs first
