Hatfield Talks
Hoover Plan
Mark $. Hatfield, instructor in
political science at Willamette
university and a veteran of the
World War, spoke of the advant
ages of the Hoover commission
report as it pertains to veterans'
affairs before the Salem Kiwanis
club Tuesday noon.
Hatfield said the Hoover com
mission recommendations if car
ried out would consolidate many
departments under a single op
erating head but would not in
terfere with the policy making
of the various groups.
The veterans' administration,
said Hatfield, employs 186,000
persons and spends about 11 per
cent of the money involved in
the national budget.
The veterans' insurance de
partment takes four times as
many people and five times as
long to function as private agen
cies Hatfield stated. Then, too.
he pointed out, appropriations
are being sought for additional
hospital facilities when many
hospitals are not filled.
In closing the speaker declar
ed that no nation on the verge
of bankruptcy can hope to be
strong abroad.
British Youths Ask

The English boys, Anthony
Park and Brian Duffy, write
Mayor Robert L, Elfstrom: "in
the hope that you might know
some person that would be kind
enough to send us some Ameri
can magazines.
"We heard that when two
fellow patients wrote to you last
year for pen friends they met
with great response. As a mat
ter of fact (if it isn't asking too
much) we would like some boys
about our own age (which is 18
years) to write to us. My friend
and I have always liked your
magazines . . . and we consider
it a luxury when we get one or
two through the Red Cross."

Mrs. Sander went on to ex
plain that as a trained nurse she
knew that most doctors spent
long hours at their work and
put their work ahead of their
families.
Mrs. Sander was on the wit
ness stand less than 10 minutes.
When Associate Defense Coun
sel Ralph E. Langdell finished
his direct questioning Attorney
General William L. Phinney
rose from his chair and said:
"No questions."
The soft-volcea wife of the de
fendant had kept a straight
poker-face during the most of
her time in court since the trial
started. But on the witness
stand she flashed a warm smile
at the all-male jury from time
to time.
Mrs. bander said she was
working in Montclair, N.J., when
she met the young intern whom
she later married.
She- said she admired him
from the outset because he "re
spected the very poorest of his
patients."
"He was very conscientious,
she added.
Mrs. Sander said the doctor's
practice grew very much dur
ing the war and that he was not
able to be home much. She
testified he ate supper at home
only about two nights a week,
Friday was his day off, she
said, but he seldom took it off.
She described her husband as
"very sober" and said when he
was at home he spent most of his
time in his office reading.

Captured Auto Thieves
Quizzed in Dallas Jail
Dallas, Ore., March 7 Two young men are in jail here under
$2500 bail each on a charge of larceny of an automobile and are)
being questioned by state and Salem police about robberies here
and in Salem. The men are booked as John L. Shaver, 19,
Chilo, Ohio, and Robert Fox, Jr., 21, a transient. Questioning
them are James Finney, Oregon'-
state police, Wayne E. Parker
and David M. Houscr, Salem de
tectives.
The men admitted to Paul
Kitzmiller, Dallas, chief of po
lice, that they stole the auto
mobile ol Arnold Dalke. They
were arrested near Goshen, in
Lane county, after wrecking the
car following gunfire and pur
suit by patrol cars at Eugene,
which reported speed of 95
miles an hour. They were re
turned here by Sheriff Tom
Hooker and Chief Kitzmiller.
Charles McCarthy, Dallas po
lice officer, noticed two men
in the pickup truck, pulled the
Dalke car out of the ditch in
front of the Dalke place just
north of here but did not learn
until later that the car had been
stolen. The truck was taken
from the Crieder store, used to
pull the Dalke car from the
ditch and returned to the Crie
der store.
Theft of around $100 from the
high school safe, which was bat
tered before it opened, and also
money reported stolen from Sa
lem and also the reported theft
of some money from the Inde
pendence school is also being in
vestigated by the Salem and
Polk officers.
The robberies were denied by
the men, Chief Kitzmiller said
but the other officers have not
completed questioning them or
have they found whether or not
Shaver and Fox have police rec
ords in Salem, Texas, Ohio and
Kansas as they believe.
Following their arrest the men
were taken to the Lane county
jail where they were held until
returned here and charged with
the theft of the Dalke automo
bile. Kravchenko
(Continued from Page 1)
The committee called him for
testimony particularly on the
question of Soviet misuse of di
plomatic mail privileges.
Kravchenko was kept waiting
yesterday while the committee
heard an FBI under-cover agent
tell behind closed doors of com
munist activity in the Pittsburgh
area.
The witness, George Dietze
51, told reporters afterward that
he had given the committee
few hundred" names of commun
ists. ; ' r . : -
Dietze also said that since
Matthew Cvetic, another FBI1
under-cover agent, testified be
fore the committee two weeks
ago communists in Pittsburgh
were looking at each other with
suspicion, and that large gath
erings no longer are being held.
Dietze said he told the com
mittee that hundreds of com
munist meetings were held in his
music studio and later in his
jewelry engraving shop.

Board Protests
(Continued from Page 1)
Newbry said that already too
many commercial buildings have
been permitted adjacent to the
capitol zone and declared his op
position to any further encroach
ment.
Preliminary plans for a $650,-
000 tuberculosis ward at the
state hospital was approved by
the board. Frank Struble, archi
tect, said that 144 beds would be
provided in a two story rein
forced concrete building. The
board deferred decision on the
type of facing to be used al
though a stucco finish was fav
ored. Need of more beds for tuber
cular patients led the board to
approve an addition of a 40-bed
wing to the state tuberculosis
hospital in Salem and a similar
wing at the tuberculosis hospital
at The Dalles. Both wings would
be equipped with surgical equip
ment. The proposals will be in
cluded in the 1951-52 budget for
approval by the next legislature.
Surgical Facilities Shy
Col. William Ryan, co-ordi-nator
of institutions, told the
board that surgical treatment of
tubercular patients was now the
rule rather than the exception
and that sureical facilities at
both hospitals are inadequate.
Also approved by the board
were completed plans for the re
modeling of a pavilion at the
Eastern Oregon Tuberculosis
hospital to provide for 30 addi
tional beds.
A payment of $49,196.51 to
Malarkey & Moore for work
performed on buildings at Hill
crest school was approved. The
school at this Institution is com
pleted and the dormitory is ex
pected to be completed within a
few weeks, he said.
