Thomas Talks
To Farm Union
"Since political and economic
democracy is inseperable we
must have an economy charac
terized by the maximum of prop
erty owners," declared Lyle
Thomas, secretary for the State
Farmers Union as he gave the
principal address Saturday morn
ing during the quarterly con
ference of the Maron county
unit of the organization.
Quoting from the Federalist,
a publication of early United
States history, Thomas said
"power over a man'? support is
power over his will " "Which
means," continued Thomas, "we
must avoid the evils of Indus
trialism in which a ft-w control
the livelihood of the many."
Much of the forenoon session
held in the Farmers Union hall
on North Commercial street, was
devoted to various reports. Gus
Schlicker, of the Bethel local
and president of the county unit,
presided. He was assisted by
Marie Cornwell, secretary of the
Woodburn local.

Indonesia Next
In Line for Aid
Washington, Feb. 11 Wwith
Indonesia set for a new $100,
000,000 U. S. credit, Indochina
was chalked up today as the next
communist - threatened Asiatic
region in line for .American dol
lar help.
Diplomatic authorities look
for the new Vietnam regime
headed by former Emperor Bao
Dai to be dealt a share soon of
the $75,000,000 far eastern arms
fund which President Truman
has at his disposal.
Vietnam and the two smaller
French-sponsored states of Cam
bodia and Laos in Indochina
also are eligible for United
States government loans such as
the big credit which the export
Import bank yesterday author-
ized for Indonesia.
Herbert Gaston, bank chair-
, man, said Vietnam's needs will
"certainly" be investigated if an
Inquiry is made.
Such a loan, which may be
be used only for economic pur
poses, might require months to
negotiate. Meantime Indochina
is under direct pressure both
from the advancing Chinese
communists on its northern
frontier and by the internal re
bellion of Ho Shi-Minn, Moscow
trained revolutionary.

Regional Plan
For Pychopalhs
Mental hospital superintend
ents, prison wardens and heads
of similar institutions in the 11
western slates have gone on rec
ord as favoring establishment of
a regional institution for psy-
copaths and mentally defective
delinquents. .
Word to that effect was
brought to Governor Douglas
McKay Saturday by Dr. Irvin
B. Hill, superintendent of the
stale's Fnirview Home at Salem.
He said that favorable action
on a resolution urging creation
of such a facility was taken re
cently by the Western Commit
tee on Institutional Care at a
meeting at Long Beach, Calif.
The committee is a subsidiary of
the National Governors confer
ence.
Estimates compiled at Long
Beach showed that at least 1000
of these persons in the west need
institutional handling.
It was felt that the institu
tion should be centrally located
so as to give the best possible
service to the interested states
and that it should be built to ac
commodate 1500 inmates," Dr.
Hill told the governor.
He added that the concensus
of the meeting was that the
building should be erected on an
extensive plot of fertile land to
give the inmates an opportuni
ty to work outdoors and grow
much of their own food. Those
attending the meeting agreed to
work on legislation that might
lead to approval of the facility
Dr. Hill is a member of . the
committee which the board of
control named recently to study
Oregon's psycopathic problem
with the idea of preparing re
commendations for the 1951 leg
islature.

Snikpoh Play
Is Smash Hit
By DAVID BLACKNER
Presented before a capacity
crowd of over 1,000, the Salem
high school Snikpoh Dramatic
club put on the play "Years
Ago" Friday night at the Salem
high school auditorium, direct
ed by Margaret Burroughs, club
adviser.
From the opening of the cur
tains the play was a sm&jh hit
and the student actors received
praise for their spectacular act
ing ability.
The theme of the play reached
into the hearts of everyone at
tending as the scene of the early
davs was the setting and the
cast was called back for sev
eral curtain calls following the
play.
Susan Perry, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Kenneth Perry, was
presented a bouquet of red roses
by the members of Stage Craft
flub for her fine performance
in the leading role of Ruth
Gordon Jones.
Ruth Jones had an opportun
ity to go on the stage in New
York before finishing her high
school education, and her fa
ther, portrayed by Robert Chiv
ers, objected to her ideals. Chiv
ers played a stern typical role
of a father in the early days as
he cussed his family up and
down over the matter of a high
grocery bill and other things.
Other parts impor'ant in the
play were acted by Susan Steed,
the mother; Judi Wood, and Myr
tle demons, friends of Ruth;
Richard Geer, Don Davis, Bob
Doughton, Rilla Rogers.
A Snikpoh cat also received
applause from the audience as
the cast had to worry about put
ting it out every night before
going to bed.
Miss Lelia Johnson, business
manager for the production, re
ported the plhy a financial suc
cess. Snickpoh club plans to use
all proceeds in purchasing a new
stage set which will cost over
$700.
Gerald Lewis, and the hostess
Mrs. Olson.
The next meeting will be
February 16 at the home of

9 Chinese Ships
Seized in Japan
Tokyo, Feb. 11 U.R)The Unit
ed State government today seiz
ed nine Chinese Nationalist
ships, ostensibly because the
Chinese defaulted on their
payments.
However, observers said the
move was obviously aimed
against the Chinese communists
who have laid claim to the ships.
The seizure appeared to be
aimed at keeping the vessels,
which would be potentially val
uable in a communist invasion of
Formosa, out of the hands of the
Chinese communist government.
Today's announcement from
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's head
quarters failed to mention the
communists, however. It stated
merely that eight Chinese Liber
ty ships and one Victory ship had
been seized in Japanese ports on
orders of a newly-formed admir
alty court.
It was considered significant,
however, that the seizure came
less than a week after the U. S.
joint chiefs of staff completed
their tour of U. S. Far East bases,
including lengthy conferences
with MacArthur.
