70 Protesting
Turn Turn Dam
A delegation of some 60 to 70
Lincoln and Benton county resi
dents was due to meet with Gov
ernor Douglas McKay at 2 p.m.
Monday to protest plans for Turn
Turn dam on the south fork of
Mary's river.
The project was recently list
ed as having won presidential
approval.
Elmo Wehnert, a spokesman
for the delegation, said he was
prepared to advise the governor
that county courts of both Lin
coln and Benton counties were
opposed to the dam along with
local organizations of the Farm
ers' union and the grange.
The project has been aimed at
flood control, along with creat
ing surplus water for elimination
of pollution downstream and a
recreation area.
The basis for the opposition
stand is made on all three counts.
They contend that the Turn Turn
crests at the same time the
Mary's crests at Philomath so
that the tributary crest is not
added to the down river waters
at peak flood time. They also
contend that Willamette river
water backs into the area.
Wehnert quoted a survey
which pointed out that flood con
trol could be achieved by clear
ing the stream and., removing a
downstream dam.
The pollution problem down
stream from the damsite is the
product of cesspool overflows
and opponents of the project con
tend the pollution problem
should be solved at its source.

Search
(Continued from Page 1)
Besides Minton and Clark, the
majority today was made up of
Chief Justice Vinson and Jus
tices Reed and Burton. Frank
furter was joined in his dissent
by Justice Jackson and Justice
Black wrote a separate dissent.
Justice Douglas took no part in
the case
Specifically, the tribunal ap
proved the search of Albert J.
Rabinowitz's one-room stamp
sales office at 276 West 43rd
street, New York City,
The officers made the search
after arresting Rabinowitz on a
warrant charging him with sell
ing four altered postage stamps
While the officers had a warrant
for his arrest, they did not have
a search warrant.
Altered Postage Stamps
Rabinowitz objected to the
search but the officers went
ahead. They took several thous
and canceled stamps for exami
nation. Most of them were re
turned. But 573 were made the
basis of a new charge that Ra
binowitz possessed and conceal
ed altered postage stamps.
The government charged that
Rabinowitz was implicated in a
scheme to defraud stamp collec
tors by selling them stamps on
which "overprints" had been
forged. Overprints are scarce
and they thus have an , extra
value to collectors.
Today's decision means that
Rabinowitz must Dav the 41000
fine assessed on the possession
charge. Papers in the case filed
here do not show the final dis
position of the stamp sale case.
Other Cases Decided
In another case involving war
rants, the tribunal held, 6 to 2,
that a home owner may refuse
to admit a city health inspector
unless he has court approval for
a search. The case involved Mrs.
Geraldine Little, who was fined
$25 in municipal court here on a
charge of interfering with a pub
lic health officer.
On other matters, the court
today:
1. Set aside, 6 to 1, a deporta
tion order against a Chinese sea
man on grounds that the immi
gration service used a short-cut
law rather than one that would
have caused the government
more trouble and expense. The
seaman, Wong Yank Sung, has
been living here.
2. Held, 5 to 3, that even
though an alien is unwilling be
cause of religious views to serve
in the American army as a non
combatant he still is entitled to
citizenship. The case involved
German-born Martin Ludwig
Cohnstaedt, a teacher at Sterl
ing ( Kas.) college.
3. Rejected, 7 to 1, the claim
of a condemned Georgia prison
er, George W. Solesbee, that he
should have been granted a court
hearing on his sanity instead of
a finding by three doctors ap
pointed by the governor. Soles
bee is under sentence to die in
the electric chair for killing a
salesman.
Court Extends
(Continued f.'om Page 1)
Rayburn said there was only
general discussion of the coal
situation at the White House con
ference. He said Mr. Truman told
them he was "expecting some
kind of report" later today on
the situation. Presumably, this
is a report from his fact-finding
board and mediation officials
keeping in touch with develop
ments.
In congress, there was senti
ment expressed in the senate for
legislation permitting the gov
ernment to seize the mines in an
effort to end the strike. Some
lawmakers noted that the sen
ate already had Included such a
provision in a Taft-Hartley sub
stitute which was never acted on
by the house.
President Truman said two
weeks ago and the White House
repeated Saturday that the
president doesn't have seizure
power now and doesn't want it.
But the question ot a contempt
against the union was another
matter entirely, :

3 Survivors
(Continued from Page 1)
Before leaving Texas, how
ever, Barry and Gerhart said
they believed the missing men
might be on Ashdown island
tiny strip adjacent to Princess
Royal.
Search crews from the Cana
dian destroyer Cayuga and four
U.S. coast guard cutters criss
crossed the tiny island Saturday
without success.
Meanwhile, rescue officials
had nothing but praise for the
conduct of Lt. Charles G. Pooler,
Beloit, Kas., the 12th member
of the crew to be brought out
safely.
He was returned to McChord
air force base, near Tacoma,
Wash., last night in a flight C,
fourth rescue squadron C-47
from Port Hardy, B.C.
In Good Condition
"Pooler is in remarkably good
condition," said Col. Hervey
Porter, air force doctor, after an
examination of the injured man.
He has a simple fracture of the
right ankle and a mild case of
frostbite of the right ankle."
Although too tired to be in
terviewed, Pooler's story was
pieced together from other par
ticipants in the now seven-day-old
search who accompanied him
back.
"He did everything just right,'
they declared.
They gave this account of his
experiences:
When the 36-year-old engin
eer plummeted into the darkness,
his parachute snagged on a tree
and left him swinging 40 feet
in the air. It was believed that
his angle was broken then when
he cut himself down.
Mrs. Dent 111 Mrs. Jessie W.
Dent, of the Liberty district who
has been seriously ill at the Sa
lem General hospital, is now at
Boyce Nursing home and still is
hi a serious condition. A daugh
ter, Mrs. R. S. Daniels, is here
from Medford and a son and
daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. W.
Y. Dent, of Snake River, Wash.,
are also in Salem.
Risk Rates Reduced Residents
of the Albany rural fire protec
tion district are being notified by
the Linn County Insurance Ag
ents' association that fire insur
ance premiums will be reduced
10 percent immediately and that
they will receive 10 percent re
funds on all premiums paid since
April 21, 1949. Charles McCor
mick, president of the association.
states the reduction applies to
policies covering all farm build
ings and insured field crops.
Albany Store Robbed State
police were alerted over the
week-end for two men who held
up C. W. Mammers, 80, owner of
the Self Service Variety store
at Albany, of around $118 Satur
day night. Only one of the men
was armed, he reported, and
both left for the north in an old
model car. He was counting his
cash when they entered the
