COURT NEWS
In addition to a sprinkling
system for the main building
and school building at the deaf
school, a request has been made
for an appropriation of $12,000
from the state building fund for
a new dining room.
for a . new dining room.
At present, food at this insti
tution is cooked in the base
ment and then must be carried
to the first floor where a warm
ing oven is utilized prior to plac
ing the food on the tables for
approximately 80 patients. Un
der the plan proposed by Marvin
B. Clatterbuck,. superintendent,
a one-story addition would be
built where all patients and em
ployes could be fed. The entire
cost is estimated at $19,000 but
$7,000 of the cost is provided
in the institutional budget.
An addition to the administra
tion building at the state hos
pital, estimated to cost $150,000
is also on the list. At present;
Dr. Charles Bates, superintend
ent, there is inadequate space
for records and the - addition
necessary to bring records up
to-date as is required in order
for the hospital to maintain its
present hospital rating.
Dr. Bates said that the hos
pital is now used by nurses in
training and desiring psychi
atric training and if the rating
is lost, such nurses will not be
given credits for work done
at the hospital. He said that
the loss of these nurses,- who

Nurse Testifies
(Continued from Page 1)
Mrs. Smith said Mrs. Borroto
had "a drawn, painful expres
sion on her face and I thought
she had passed away."
The nurse testified she told
this to Elizabeth Rose, day nurse
for the stricken woman. Miss
Rose has testified for the prose
cution that she heard Mrs. Bor
roto gasping at the time.
Mrs. Smith also said Mrs. Bor
roto did not twitch as claimed by
state witnesses.
Dr. George F. Dwinnell, chief
surgeon at the Elliott hospital,
Manchester, testified that he
knows of no medical reason for
the injection of air into a per
son.
The desperate outlook was
occasion for a prolonged discus
sion as the meeting progressed.
me meeting was the first one
for members of the newly form
ed county council to attend. This
council was set up to give a
wider public understanding of
the problems of the chapter and
its needs.
Some Cause for Hope
mere were some causes for
hope, however.
No new applications for help
were received at this meeting
although three hospital cases
are still being cared for, and
about 25 persons each week are
receiving physiotherapy treat
ments, all of which cost money.
One of these hospital cases is
costing about $500 monthly
a case of a man for many months
in an iron lung and still help
less, a man with a family of six
cnuaren.
Another ray of hope for tem
porary relief came with state
ment by Joe Kievit of Portland,
state representative for the
state's 36 county chapters of the
national group, that he was posi
tive the chapter's appeal - for
$4000 for emergency help would
be granted, He pointed out it
takes time because the national
headquarters has to canvass re
sults of the March of Dimes cam
paign from throughout the na
tion, then act accordingly.
A third cause for heme was
the response from various or
ganizations "to do something
about it."
Working Plan Suggested
In the discussion last night It
was brought out that different
organizations might take on pro
jects to help the situation say
one group purchase some of the
braces needed, another group
might underwrite charges for
use of pools where swimming
exercises are available; or an
other group might contribute to
ward purchase of additional
quipment for the Physiother
apy department at the hospital.
The group at the Thursday
meeting voted that the chapter
chairman, Mrs. David Wright,
appoint a committee to make out
list of needed equipment and
the costs and have such informa
tion available for any organiza
tion which might wish to spon
sor a project. .
For this first joint meeting,
besides members of the regular
chapter board, there were coun
cil representatives from the
Pringle Mothers club, the Ma
cleay Mothers club, the Engle-
wood PTA, downtown Lions
club, Hollywood Lions club. Ki

The mayor agreed with his
off-street parking committee and
recommended "that as a matter
of policy the city - should first
develop its own property," be
fore acquiring privately-owned
lots for off-street parking, and
that the city "should utilize all
the space in the streets."
The three city center streets
would be widened on both sides.
"The cost of the project," the
mayor said, "would be paid by
the additional revenues from
meters, which would be about
$6000 per year.
The city manager has sug
gested, and the committee has
agreed, that it would be a good
idea to change the meters in the
fringe area from two hours to
three hours in other words
three hours for a dime instead
of two hours. . . , We have kept
records of the revenue from the
meters and find that in some of
the fringe areas it is only about
25 percent of what it should be
if the space were utilized to the
fullest extent."
No Meters on River Street
The mayor, the manager and
the committee agreed that the
River street parking place
should not be metered on
grounds that "the location is
not the best and that it would be
a mistake to put parking meters
on it.
"Some parking restrictions
will have to be placed on it,
however, as all day parkers will
keep the shopper out " the may
or said. "Maybe the answer will
be . . , prohibiting all parking
on the lot before 9:30 a.m. In
that way the employer and the
employe would not be able to
use the lot." .
Relative to the question whe
ther off-street parking is a city
responsibility, a private enter
prise, or a combination of the
two, the mayor said:
Curb Parking Best
I am convinced that private
enterprise cannot alone solve the
problem. . . . Personally I don't
care how the job is. done as long
as we get the desired results.
We must remember the prob
lem has not been solved by the
charging of high parking fees.
Curb parking is the most desir
able of all parking and in Sa
lem this charge is 5 cents per
hour. Most shoppers object if
the charge is much higher than
this."
Also he said "I doubt If the
job can be done by the mer
chants themselves."
The mayor estimated that the
Salem area has 100,000 people
in the shopping area, and 250
autos to each 1000 persons,
"The committee feels," said
the mayor, "that a diversion
should be made of the parking
meter money. At least 25 percent
of the parking meter money
should be set up in a special
fund and be used to increase the
number of parking spaces both
off the street and on the street."
Over 100 men, mostly down
town business and professional
men, attended the meeting. Whe
ther they approve or disapprove
the mayors recommendations,
their action is not official, but
will be influential with the city
council which will decide.
The downtown problem caus
ed by business development in
the . fringe districts was men
tioned by the mayor.
New modern stores at the
city's fringe are spick and span,
light and airy, have well-dis
played merchandise, and have
handy parking," he said. They
draw more and more customers,
James Beard, president of the
Retail Trade bureau, mentioned
that a certain property owner
is thinking of a double-deck off-
street parking lot downtown.
Fifth Member
Of Board Named
Election of a fifth member
and approval of a budget of
$18,670 for 1950 occupied the
annual meeting of the board of
trustees of the Turner Memorial
home.
The fifth trustee is Henry E.
Meyer, of Central Christian
church, Portland. Others are
Dean Schomaker, president;
William F. Morse, vice presi
dent; Elery A. Parrish, secretary
and George W. Kaseberg. Selec
tion of a field representative has
not been made.
The annual report showed that
25 guest members received be
nefits during 1949 with the cost
of operation for the year $16,
841.55 or an average per guest
day cost of $2.40.
Ninety-two churches and 95
individuals made undesignated
gifts totaling $6015.25 with the
remainder of the operating cost
coming from the Cornelia A. Da
vis estate. The estate fund has
now been exhausted and future
operation of the home will de
pend upon gifts from churches
and individuals.
Designated gifts last . year
amounted to $4165. This amount
was used to memorialize cot
tages in the park and to increase
facilities at the Inez Carr memo
rial dairy.
The Turner Memorial home
is sponsoring Guy Howard in a
lecture tour during the latter
part of May and June in Oregon
and Washington. He is known
as the "Walking Preacher of the
Ozarks." The itinerary has not
been completed.

At the chapter meeting last
night Charles Schmidt was elec
ted a new member of the board
He said that John L. Lewie
and the coal operators, who are
still continuing their negotia
tions, "will reach agreement be
fore it actually becomes neces
sary for the government to take
possession of the mines."
"But." the president declared,
"we can wait no longer to pre
pare ourselves with the neces
sa: legislative authority."
He earnestly asked congress
to enact the legislation "as
quickly as possible."
In advance of arrival of the
president's message at the Capi
tol, Senate Democratic Leader
Lucas of Illinois told reporters
he would ask "emergency senate
action" to carry out Mr. Tru
man's request. Lucas said he
thought congress might pass the
seizure legislation by Saturday
night.
Prompt Action Assured
House democratic leaders also
had made clear they would press
for all speed in getting whatever
authority Mr. Truman felt he
needed.
The president made it clear
that the administration did not
propose to settle the dispute be
tween the united Mine w oncers
and the coal operators.
The union and owners have
been at odds since last June 30
when their old contract expired.
Lewis is understood to be de
manding an increase from $14.05
to $15 in the basic daily wage
and a boost from 20 to 35 cents
in the royalty payment to the
miners' welfare fund for each
ton of coal mined.
President Truman said of the
dispute:
"They will have to settle their
differences through their own
collective bargaining, just as
though government operation
were not in effect."
'I do not propose to substitute
the government's representatives
for the private operators at the
bargaining table. It will not be
our purpose to establish wages.
hours, or working conditions
which would bind either the op
erators or the miners upon re
sumption of private operations."
When the country can be as
sured of sufficient supplies of
coal, the government will have
no need to continue public op
eration and the mines will be
promptly returned to private
hands."
