Housing Loans
OK'd by Truman
Washington, March 7 (P)
President Truman today approv
ed loans to houslhg authorities
in 13 northern and western
states.
The loans, totaling $1,705,400
will enable these authorities to
plan for construction of 6,009
low-rent Units
The facilities are to be built,
owned and operated by the lo
cal housing authorties for fami
lies whose incomes are so low
they cannot afford adequate prl-vately-owned
housing.
The planning loans authoriz
ed todaV are intended to pay for
preliminary surveys, studies in
connection with site selection,
appraisals, architectural and en
gineering plans and the compil
ing of cost estimates.
A partial list of approvals fol
lows, including' the communities,
the number of units planned
and the amount of each loan:
Oregon Astoria, 115 and
$44,500.
Washington Renton, 100 and
$40,000.
Snake River
Dams Opposed
Washington, March 7 UP)
Salmon whether coming, going
r standing still are endanger
ed by dams, Oregon and Wash
ington fish and wildlife experts
told a senate committee yester
day. Their testimony was before a
committee considering a budget
recommendation that $250,000
be allowed for planning Ice Har
bor dam, but the witnesses made
it clear their views held for three
other Snake river dams also un
der consideration.
Donald R. Johnson, of the
Oregon fish commission, said ap
proximately 15 per cent of Sal
mon headed downstream are lost
in the pressure of turbine wheels
in each big dam.
Fish headed upstream, he said,
are delayed two or three days in
negotiating Bonneville dam fish
ladders. And if this period is
multiplied by construction of
other barriers, salmon lose In
terest and won't spawn.
Still a third objection to the
new construction, Johnson said,
is that pools formed by dams
wipe out large areas of spawn
ing grounds.
Fish need running water and
gravel beds not muddy water
in pools.
Johnson was joined in his tes
timony by J. H. Cellars, secre
tary of the Columbia river sal
mon and tuna packers, and John
M. Hurley, of the Washington
department of fisheries.
All contended there is no need
at the present time for the navi
gation waterway which the four
dams are Intended to provide.
Burglar Suspects '
Held to Grand Jury
Jack Troxall and Albert W
Sturtevant, nabbed on larceny
charges in the theft of govern
ment bonds from a Kelzer dis
trict home, waived preliminary
examination Tuesday in district
court.
Bail for the two men was set
at $2,000 each, and they were
oraerea neid for grand Jury ac
tion. The pair was implicated in
the burglary of the James Col
lins residence at 940 Evans ave
nue last month. They claimed
to have discarded the bonds near
Bend and approximately $1,000
in bonds was recovered there,
but Collins claimed his loss was
lrom $1,900 to $2,300.
(Jack Troxell, an employe of
the Oregon Pulp and Paper
company, asked the Capital
Journal to explain that the spell
ing of his name was different
from that of the man under ar
rest in the larceny case. The
individual under arrest is iden
tified as Jack Troxall, not a
paper mill employe.)

Tsaldaris to
Lose in Greece
Athens, March 7 UP) Returns
in Greece's parliamentary elec
tions spurred predictions today
that Constantin Tsaldaris' domi
nant populist (royalist) party
would be left out of the Greek
government to emerge finally
from the ballotting.
Late returns from the nation's
146,000 soldiers in Sunday's
election gave the conservative
populists a narrow lead over
the left-of-center national pro
gressive union of Gen. Nicholas
Plastiras.
Political experts say King
Paul will give the mandate to
form a government to the party
which gains most parliamentary
seats. However, Tsaldaris was
viewed as not able to form a
lasting government because his
strength in parliament could not
survive even a tolerant vote of
confidence.
Tsaldaris' best chances lay in
a coalition with the right wing
parties, but these, under Greece s
complicated proportional repre
sentation system, would add only
a score or so seats which would
not be enough to cushion the
government against opposition
attack.
Under such conditions Tsal
daris could either return the
mandate or go before the new
parliament with a rightist cab
inet March 30 and be rejected
there by the combined opposition.
Then the king would be obliged
to give the mandate to the sec
ond largest group Plastrias'
party. A new patchwork coali
tion, 12th since the war's end,
would be formed.

list, coiorea nens are listen at
22-24 cents; the fryers, three
pounds weight, 32-34 cents.
Coatesto Start
ilding This Month
Robert T. Coates of Portland,
who will build a 36-unlt apart
ment house at 1135 Chemekcta
street, says he expects to start
construction before the end of
this month, probably about
March 25.
Coates Informed the Capital
Journal that he had sold the
small residence on the lot, but
will have to wait until the fam
ily has moved out before tearing
down the building can be start
ed. The Coates project was trans
ferred from North Summer
street, and has FHA approval.
Its cost will be about $300,000.

Flynn Children
Subject of Suit
Santa Monica, Calif., March 7
UP) A court fight loomed today
over custody of the children of
Errol Flynn Bind his ex-wife,
Nora Eddington Haymes.
Mrs. Haymes filed 'suit yester
day for full custody of their two
children, Rory, 3, and Deldre, 6.
Flynn immediately said he would
fight the suit. '
Mrs. Haymes, now married1 to
singer Dick Haymes, also asked
for an increase in the allowance
for the children from $150 to
$885 a month.
She was given legal custody
of both children in their Nevada
divorce a year ago, but Flynn
was granted physical custody of
Rory. She has had both girls
with her since Flynn went to
Europe last summer and yester
day stated it would be harmful
to separate the girls now.
Flynn, charging he had not
been permitted to see the child
ren since his return, said he
would demand that Rory be re
stored to him.
Mrs. Haymes' counsel denied
Flynn's charge that he had not
seen the children.

RFC Funds for
Auto Parking
Locally interest is shown in a
study, of the automobile parking
problem in Seattle, which has
revealed that Reconstruction Fi
nance corporation federal mon
ey is available for the purpose
if conditions are suitable.
William Schulze, writing in
thS Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
says, in part:
"Financing is not holding back
construction of adequate off
street automobile parking for
downtown Seattle.
"Federal loans from the Re
construction Finance corporation
are available for either munici
pal or private parking projects,
says Charles R. Johnsone, mana
ger of, Seattle's RFC agency.
"Provision of parking is ah
'eligible purpose.'
" 'We would be glad to con
sider ah application of that
sort,' says Johnsone.
"Project sponsors, public or
private, must be able to show
reasonable prospects for ade
quate earnings and repayment of
the loans. They must show that
the money is not available else
where. "In this connection it is point
ed out that as a general rule
banks are hot interested in long
term loans, insurance compa
nies sometimes are. ...
"Some of the other means of
financing are municipal revenue
bonds which would not add to
the tax burden; formation of lo
cal improvement districts, or ust
of parking meter revenues."
