Middle Aged
Student Talks
Frank M. Lockman, a veteran
of the First World war, who
was not presented with a de
sire to secure a college educa
tion until near his 45th birth
day, told of his experience as a
Willamette university student
during Monday's Chamber of
Commerce luncheon. The ap
plause which followed the con
clusion of his well delivered talk,
was ample evidence that all mid
dle aged men in the audience
got a big boost from Lockman's
success.
Lockman entered Willamette
without any recognized under
graduate scholastic credits and
after a fairly stiff struggle dur
ing the first semester settled
down to become an outstanding
student in speech. He is now
in his senior year and expects
to take post graduate work at
Northwestern university near
college.
Lockman told his audience
that he spent the first 25 years
of his adult life in fulfilling his
desire to earn sufficient money
which would permit of his re
tirement. However, he found
that leisure time was not what
he had anticipated and eventual
ly found his way to Willamette.
"Be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind,"
Lockman suggested to his audi
ence as a part of his philosophy
of life. "Be too noble for anger
and too strong for fear," he
added. '
In speaking of his college life,
Lockman said he found he had
become one of the students after
being tossed into the Mill stream
as a freshman because the year
lings had lost the Freshman Glee,
Auto Strikes Bridge Denzil
Lee Elder, Salem, damaged his
automobile and the railing of the
bridge over Pudding river on
the Salem-Silverton highway
Saturday night. He told police
he was driving west when he
was blinded by lights of an ap
proaching automobile, skidded in
the gravel and crashed into the
bridge.

10 Year Plan
(Continued from Page 1)
the people for the plant and the
interceptor sewer. But since
then the state sanitary authori
ty has set up changes in plans
that makes some increase neces
sary. Also some additional
money will be necessary for
the general sewer extensions.
Among other items to be con
sidered will be public parks and
playgrounds. But all city de
partments as well have to be
considered. After the city man
ager has made recommendations
it will be up to the council to
decide how the projects should
be spaced over the 10-year pe
riod and what should be given
priority.
Financial items that go on the
May ballot will not be lumped,
but will be in separate bills,
which would make it possible
for the people to approve some
and reject others.
Important also for the joint
meeting's attention will be the
general revision of the zoning
code on which the planning and
zoning commission is now work
ing. This requires much hard
work, and the commission wants
to know how as it goes along
that the council is pretty well
in agreement. Otherwise the
council might tear the report
to pieces when completed, it
would have to be done over
again, and 'would be long de
layed. The zoning of the old West
Salem area will be mentioned
but it is subject for public hear
ing before the commission on
May 21. A definite zoning plan
for that district will be recom
mended after the hearing.

Sander Slates
(Continued f'om Page 1)
That was under the friendly
questioning of his counsel who
drew from him the assertion that
Mrs. Borroto was dead when he
entered her Hillsborough coun
ty hospital room last December
4.
Maintains Position
The atmosphere changed about
an hour and a half later when
the state's chief prosecutor, At
torney General William L. Phin.
ney, began his cross-examina
tion and asked his boyhood
chum questions designed to send
the latter to prison for life.
But Dr. Sander maintained
his position that "I knew she
was dead" when he injected air
into Mrs. Borroto's arm.
"You had an obsession to in
ject air into the veins of this
poor, dead soul?" snapped Phin
ney to the physician who once
was his .pal.
"That's right," said Dr. San
der.
Can't Tell Why
"And you can't tell us why?
persisted Phinney.
"That's right," repeated the
accused doctor.
Finally, however, Dr. Sander
amplified his answer by adding
that "the very fact she was dead
gave me assurance I could do her
no harm."
Under direct examination, Dr.
bander said "I never had any
intention to kill Mrs. Borroto
. I never told anybody
killed Mrs. Borroto."
Third of Coal
(Continued from Page 1)
Railroads completed arraying
fleets of coal cars for the big
job of moving the precious prod
uct.
A survey of the fields Indi
cated fewer than 30,000 miners
on early shifts answered the
back to work call.
In some cases pits were re
opened although only a fraction
of the normal manpower was
present.
Delay Due to Tradition ..
Scores of others began opera
tion behind regular schedule as
small groups of miners straggled
Tradition accounted for the
delay in most cases.
Customarily UMW locals hold
meetings after receipts of the
official word of a strike end
from John L. Lewis. Then the
diggers go to work.
The UMW chieftain's telegram
has not yet reached many mine
areas.
In Pennsylvania, some diggers
hinted they may not go back to
work until Wednesday, explain
ing that they would be an ex
tra week's relief check that way.
Laughter echoed in the Iamri
houses and shaft entrances where
miners did show up.
Contract Terms
(Continued from Page 1)
Memorial periods These rjer-
iods of idleness to commemorate
the death of mine victims are
limited to five days a year un
der the new contract; the pre
vious clause, which Lewis want
ed renewed, imposed no limit.
The new agreement also con
tains these provisions not in the
old one and not previously dis
closed as demands by either
miners or operators:
The operators shall be held in
violation of the contract if they
fall to make "full and prompt
payments" to the welfare fund.
The fund's board of trustees
now includes Lewis as chairman;
Josephine Roche, formerly Le
wis' fund director, as neutral
trustee; and Charles A. Owen,
New York coal industrialist, for
the operators. The old board

Bacon Clue to
Church Robbers
A three-pound package of ba
con appeared to be the only clua
detectives would have which
could help them trace burglars
who struck at two Salem
churches late Sunday or early
Monday morning.
The bacon was found outsida
the First Evangelical church
which is located at the corner
of Summer and Marion streets.
It apparently had been inad
vertently left by the burglars.
Inside the church, officers
found that two cases of empty
Nesbitt orange pop bottles had
been stolen along with $8 in
cancelled one cent stamps. Tha
stamps apparently were collec
tor's items.
Two pop bottles had been
smashed on the floor in an act
of vandalism by the criminals.
The second church hit by the
burglars was the Bethel church
at Cottage and D streets. There
a window was forced by the
burglars. Nothing was found to
be missing, but the furnace of
the church had been turned on.
