Elmes Talks With Farmers
Of Soil Conservation Service
Problems of presenting conservation plans to all farmers in
the district within the next few months were discussed by Ron
ald Elmes, soil conservation service, at the monthly meeting
of the Sliver Creek soil conservation district in buvorton. He
was accompanied by Austin Sanford, Eldo Betcke and Clarence
Olds, assistants.
Elmes suggested a land capa
bility map of the soils of each
farm be printed and the rec
ommended conservation prac
tices needed for each type be
attached. This, he said, would
reduce to one the planning meet
ings the groups of interested
farmers with the plan to be of
fered at the first meeting.
Drainage ditch and tile lines
dug by E. J. Slick, of Salem, on
the Henry Hanson project were
favorably commented upon, par
ticularly on the way the banks
of the ditch were sloped back so
farming operations of hay and
grass seed can be carried down
New Realtor
Firm Organized
Claude H. Murphy, former
real estate commissioner, and
Calvin V. Kent, former deputy
commissioner, have announced
that they will open a real estate,
insurance and mortgage loan of
fice at 456 North Church in the
new Greyhound building in Sa
lem about March 15.
The firm will be called Mur
phy & Kent, Realtors, and will
handle all types of real estate,
including timber lands and stock
ranches. Their insurance depart
ment will offer coverage for fire,
automobile and other allied
lines.
Murphy has had extensive ex
perience in the real estate busi
ness, having been engaged in
business for 12 years before be
ing appointed commissioner in
1939. He attended Oregon State
college and operated a furniture
and hardware business, an auto
mobile agency and a number of
farms before entering the real
estate profession.
During 1935 and 1936 Murphy
was instrumental in organizing
the Greater Willamette Valley
association, an organization that
publicized the valley throughout
the United States. Some of the
literature developed by this as
sociation is still being used by
Chambers of Commerce in ad
vertising, their cities and the
Willamette valley.
Kent attended the University
of Oregon and before his ap
pointment as deputy commis
sioner in 1947, was licensed as a
real estate salesman in Salem.
He was office manager of the
state division of vocational edu
cation for five years.
The partners stated that be
fore choosing Salem as the city
in which they will operate their
business, they considered vari
ous other communities in the
state but chose Salem as the city
with the most stable economy,
the most promising future and
one in which the Chamber of
Commerce is very active in the
public interest.
Changes Location Nila du
ett, for 10 years associated with
Leo N. Childs in his real estate
and insurance operations on
State street, is now located at
1980 Fairgrounds road with the
Cluett & Kenyon real estate
firm. Miss Cluett also is interest
ed in insurance with Fred C.
Frciser, a brother-in-law who
has offices at the same location

The text given out last night
was not an actual transcript but
a version prepared from memory
oy r rancis Kusscll, state depart
ment director of public affairs.
It was approved by Acheson.
In it, he declared that the Unit
ed states must follow two close
ly related lines of foreign policy.
The first, he said is "to meet
wherever possible all thrusts of
the Soviet Union" as has been
done in Greece and Turkey.
The second policy line, he said.
"must be to create those eco
nomic, political, social and psy
etiological conditions that
strengthen and create confidence
in the democratic way of life."
In this connection, he cited
the European recovery program
and American aid in bringing
independence to Indonesia. Then
he added:
"One of the things that we
must do is to enable other coun
tries to buy with their own prod
ucts the raw materials that they
need to feed and clothe and cm
ploy their own people. This
means that we must buy their
goods and their services to a
greater extent than at present."

Doing a whale of a job back
ing up the whole show was the
Salem high school band, under
the direction of E. Donald Jcs
sup. The musicians performed
throughout the two and a half
hour show, pausing only to wet
their whistles with a coke at in
termission. All in all, the contestants in
the show turned in a creditable
job of whirling their batons
There were times, of course
when the young ladies dropped
their sticks or became somewhat
confused, but encouragement
from the audience seemed to al
ways inspire them to finish up
their routine in flying fashion.
Of the 15 contestants, there
was only one who went through
her entire performance appear
ance without her baton hitting
the floor at least once. She was
Salem's Miss Carroll, who finish
ed fifth. Miss Carroll's snappy
routine included tossing the ba
ton so high that it sailed between
the rafters and came within
inches of the gymnasium ceiling.
Tom Hill was master of cere
monies for the event. Hill and
Vernon Wiscarson were co-chairmen
in the planning of the ma
jorette contest.

Johnson Tells
(Continued from Page 1)
He gave tile following rea
sons for creating a ground ob
server corps, the filter centers
to screen and evaluate observer
reports and the civil air raid
warning system:
First and foremost, to detect
low aircraft which are below the
level of positive identification
by electronic means or are fly
ing through corridors in the
screen due to limitation of ter
rain and economy.
Readiness to Operate
Second, to detect unusual oc
currences, such as landing by
paratroopers, gliders, and the
like.
"The formation and establish
ment of an aircraft observer
system after a war emergency
has been forced upon us is en
tirely impracticable." Johnson
wrote Norblad.

ness to operate at any time.

this activity is neither arduous
nor particularly time-consum-
n g , the development and
establishment of a completely
organized and well-trained corps
requires many months of pro
gressive effort. It has, therefore,
been decided to organize this
observer system now, to estab
lish the observation posts and
filter centers, to train the per
sonnel and then place them in
a stand-by status.
Effectiveness Established
Johnson said the effectiveness
of the ground observer system
has been well established by '
combat experience and, more
recently, by full-scale tests"
conducted by the air force.
The value of an observer
system is two-fold." the defense
secretary noted. "First, it in
creases the capability of the air
defense forces to prevent or
counter air attacks upon this na-,,
tion. Second, it provides a basis
for initiating air raid warnings
to civil defense officials and to
the general public."
The ground observer network
will call for a series of filter
centers. At the filter centers
the reports of aircraft seen
or heard by observers are
screened, evaluated and made
available to the appropri
ate air defense commander. '
These reports, with data from -the
radar screen, provide him
with information on which to
base his tactical action.
Benefits to Community
Johnson considered the bene
fits to a community, resulting
from operation of the ground ob
server system, as reciprocal in -
nature. "Reports of hostile air-,
craft received from observers in
Oregon," Johnson wrote, "might
be the basis of alerts flashed to
cities in California, and the time
ly warnings given to residents of
Oregon might well be the result
of reports received from Wash
ington, Minnesota, or Canada.
The plan for the establish
ment of an air observer system
across the United States has
been thoroughly 'war-gamed'
and tried in a full scale opera
lion. "Observation posts and fil
ter centers were established
throughout the greater portion
of ten northeastern states last
summer. Personnel was recruit
ed and trained and a civil air
raid warning system was in-'
stalled.
System Already Tested '
"The entire installation was
tested last September in a ten-'
day exercise conducted by the
United States air force. This ex
ercise proved the feasibility ot
creating an observer system
through volunteer participation,
and it proved the practicability
of utilizing existing communica
lons media in a civil air raid
warning system." ;,
Johnson viewed the cost of
installing the aircraft warning
service in the stales presently
included in the program, like-.
Oregon, as "relatively small as
compared to the cost of one ra-i
dar station."
Administrative costs and the
costs of installing filter centers
and air raid warning facilities. .
are the most sizeable items.
Those costs would be borne by
llic air force, the defense secre
tary commented. The cost to the
stales will be primarily admin-' '
istrative expenses. Such ex
ponses, he felt, could be absorb
ed by existing slate government
activities.
It is estimated that Oregon will ,
need 6000 persons to man the
warning system in the state. It
is anticipated that the broad out
lines of a warning system will
be completed in Oregon by the
middle of April.
