TrumanChanges Press Meetings Washington, April 21 U.R) President Truman has scrapped, White House press conferences as Washington reporters have known them since the days of Woodrow Wilson, i He decided to move his week ,ly meetings with newsmen from his own office to a drab, musty conference room on the fourth floor of the old state depart- . ment building next door. Newsmen no longer will be permitted to stand against the edge of the president's desk and fire questions at him with machine-gun speed. The corre spondents will be seated. And before asking a question, a re sorter must stand, get recogni tion from the president and then give his name and that of the organization he represents. "f White House Press Secretary Charles G. Ross said the changes .'were made for the convenience of the reporters, as well as the " president. i But practically none of the re- porters regularly assigned to the White House favored the change -and preferred to keep the con ferences in the president's of fice. Mr. Truman was aware of : their attitude beforehand Bince they had been sounded out in advance by Ross. SovietTrade Pad With Red China '.

Asks Removal 01 County Dump Removal of the county dump from the Macleay area and con sideration by the Marion county court of locations found by a Macleay citizens committee is asked in a letter received from Norman Winslow, attorney for the group. The letter, dated April 18, points out that the Macleay com mittee has found two or three locations, as suggested by the county court and asks consider ation of these locations, it fur ther states that legal action may! follow if no steps are taken by the court in removing the dump, County Judge Grant Murphy stated Friday that he was ar ranging a conference with Win- slow to discuss the matter and that the court had viewed three different sites, but in some in stances had not been able to con tact owners. One site. Murphy said, is lo cated on the Geer Road and was given to the court as being on the Fred Hersch property, where as it was on the property of A, C. Hersch, who informed the court that he had changed his mind about selling the property for a dump. A second location is on the Mc-Alpine-Macleay road and locat ed on the Miller place. The court as yet has been unable to con fer with Miller on this location. Still a third site was found by the Macleay committee. This is located on the McAlpine road about three and a half miles east of the McAlpine school and would be such a great distance from Salem that Murphy is not sure that it could adequately serve those areas just outside Sa lem's city limits. In noting the distance he pointed out that the Salem city dump served only that part of Salem within the city limits.

Rossellini Expects Green Light On Marriage from Sweden Soon Rome, April 21 U.R) Roberto Rossellini said today that he ex- pecte dto get a green light from Sweden for his marriage to Ingrid Bergman within the next five or six days. "We intend to marry as soon as possible thereafter, but no date has been set yet, nor do we know where we will get married," the Italian movie di-0 rector said. He granted the United Press an exclusive interview at a mo vie location outside Rome where he is completing a film on the life of St. Francis. The setting was similar to that when, just after the birth of Miss Bergman's baby early this year, he first ac knowledged publicly the pater nity of the boy. Rosselini said he and Miss Bergman, who are living in a $400 a month apartment in Home with their son, Renato, were 'terribly happy" when they heard by telephone from Holly wood this morning of the set tlement with Dr. Peter Lind- strom. Lindstrom agreed to give Miss Bergman partial custody of their daughter, Pia, 12. He also agreed to joint division of their $250, 000 estate. We received the news of Dr. Lindstrom's acceptance of the settlement proposed by our law yer at 4 o'clock this morning by telephone from Hollywood," Rossellini said. Our lawyer, Greg Bautzer, spoke to us. We had been wait ing for this news for months, and you can figure how happy we are with the settlement. "Now matters are simplified, because the application we filed in Sweden for the registration of Miss Bergman s Mexican di vorce will be speeded up con siderably. As a matter of fact I believe that it will be only a question of five or six days be fore we get the green light for our marriage. Then they will be married as soon as possible he said, but they don t yet know just when or where. I don't see why we should go to England, as reported by some newspapers, he said. He chatted freely about the settlement with Lindstrom and his plans, including a long vaca tion with Miss Bergman, but would not discuss the Swedish actress' private life. Asked where they would set tle after marriage, Rossellini said with a grin: "What's wrong with Rome? It's my home town. Labor Government Boosts Taxi Rates London, April 21 VP) Lon don's taxi fares were bocsted to day for the first time in 16 years. The government approved an increase of 3 V4 cents per trip to meet increased gasoline costs. Gasoline went up to 42 cents a gallon Tuesday after the labor government's new budget added 10 ',4 cents per gallon to the gas tax. The increase, Home Secretary Chuter Ede announced, is a temporary relief for taxi driv ers pending decision on their re quest for all-round fare increases. Dr. Lindstrom Seeks Divorce Los Angeles, April 21 (P) Ingrid Bergman is charged with deserting her husband, Dr. Peter Lindstrom, in the latter s coun ter divorce suit. But Roberto Rossellini, the other man, goes unmentioned. The Swedish surgeon's suit filed yesterday also specifically asked the court to issue an or der forbidding Miss Bergman to take their daughter, Pia, 12, out of the United States at such times when the actress will have custody of the child. Dr. Lindstrom, who also al leged mental cruelty, stated that on April 15, 1949, his wife violation of her vows, left her home here and "deserted and abandoned him." The petition explained that Miss Bergman actually left the Beverly Hills home March 15, 1949, but a month elapsed before the hus band realized she had gone for good. The suit made no mention either of Rossellini or the Mexi can divorce which the actress obtained Feb. 9, a week after a son, which Rossellini claims is his, was born to her in Rome. But Lindstrom's attorney, Isaac Facht, told reporters the Mexi can decree is a "complete nulli ty." The petition also asks superior court to approve a property set tlement reached after weeks of dickering between Pacht and Miss Bergman's lawyer, Gregson Bautzer. County Courts Discuss Issues Problems and questions fre quently confront ing county courts were discussed at a Dis trict No. 5, Association of Ore gon Counties, meeting in Cor vallis, attended by Marion coun ty court members Thursday, Also given attention at the meeting were possible future problems and legislation to come in the future. Approach roads and the new law passed by the 1949 legisla ture governing them were taken up by the group. The law sets up requirements for approach roads which make it necessary for a person build ing such a road (driveways into homes are included) to secure a permit from the county court before constructing such a road. It also provides a penalty for those persons not getting a per mit. Coming in for much discus sion was the cost of maintaining and constructing county and market roads, with a federal government man speaking on the subject. The speaker sug gested first the maintenance of roads and then a four-point pro gram. The program would include: a set-up for priority; considera tion of base and drainage before construction or improvement oiling only those roads adequate ly prepared; and education of the public through the newspa pers of the cost of maintaining and constructing roads. The question of muzzling dogs was also brought up at the meet ing and the Marion county court is going to check on the law and its application in this county.

GIBSON'S DIAMOND 8 BLENDED-WHISKEY 86.8 PROOF -65 GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRTTS GIBSON DISTILLERS, MO, MX Pain Is Deceptive! By By J. a WILLETT of thft Capital Drug Stora One of the reasons why it is so difficult to determine the cause of illness is that pain is misleading. It may occur in a part of the body where no ill ness exists. This is especially true when the teeth or tonsils are the offender, but it is also true of diseases involving other bodily organs. Doctors of course, through experience are alert to such de ceptive pain. By examination they check thoroughly for the true cause. And having found it can prescribe the medicine that will alleviate it. Medicine to be of real value must be properly prescribed and carefully compounded.
