Fireworks Hard Problem for Salem City Council to Solve " Fourth of July firework! legislation isn't ai simple as It looks the city council finds. At this moment the city has no regulation at all. Salem had an ordinance limiting sale and shooting of fire works to ( certain few days around the Fourth. Largely through mo auvnc ui k u v uici nr. Roble thtt ordinance was killed and one passed a few weeks ago prohibiting either sale or shoot ing at asy time. Dealers protested, and got that one killed. Another was intro duced tt allow no sale in the city, but permitting shooting on the Fourth only. Monday night Alderman Tom Armstrong told the council it was unjustly dis criminatory against dealers in the city because it permitted sale outside the city and shooting in side. A representative of the dealer) also entered into the ar gument. So that bill was killed by in definite postponement with the Intention of passing another. When the council voted on sus pension of rules to permit it to be read three times and acted on, Alderman David O'Hara voted no, so it had to go over for two weeks. This bill would permit sales on July 1, 2, 3 and 4 at places approved .by the fire chief. It would permit shooting on July 4, except in a zone in the center of the. city. , Two ordinances were enacted Monday night. One accepted deeds from A. D. Wagner and others for the purpose of widen ing Summer ttreet between Ter race avenue and the south city limits. The other vacates a street abutting the south line of West Salem addition for school pur poses. Bills introduced were: Establishing special setback lines on the south side of Lee street, between 20th and 21st, and re-establishing the setback line on the south side of a part of Gaines street. Granting the Southern Pacific the right to continue to main tain an industrial spur track on Trade and Front streets; also on Front and Division streets; and across the intersection of water and court streets. Also introduced was the bill to regulate the removal of trees from public property, requiring permits, and payment of a fee to create a fuld for planting of other trees.

The council had a protest from the Salem Alumnae association Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity, relative to zone changes in the capitol area, and another sug gesting that Madison street be extended, but neither was con sidered because thev were un signed. On recommendation of the city engineer the council voted to refund $10.25 to a Mrs. Bow ers in connection with a sewer condition at 565 South 20th street.

No War If West 'Sticks Together' London, June 13 (U.R) Russia won't dare start a war as long as the free countries of the West stick together, Deputy Prime Minister Herbert Morrison said today. "Today, and it's no use shut ting our eyes to it, the Rus sian government wants to con quer the world for the principles of communist dictatorship," Morrison told a meeting of women at nearby Huddersfield. "We and the United States and France and the other free coun tries of Western Europe have got together in the Atlantic pact. We are putting together all our armies and navies and air forces to form joint defenses that will be strong enough to frighten off the communist imperialists and the maybe warmongers. "As long as we free countries stick together in this way, and all do our fair share in making our Joint defenses strong, we need have no fear of war. "The men of the Kremlin won't dare to start one, and we shall be sure of peace. And if Moscow should change its line and seek peace and cooperation, we shall be ready to respond most heartily." Pepper was once considered so valuable that it doubled for money. HEAR BETTER TODAY WITH "MINIATURE" I RADIONIC E I HEARING AID THE AMAZhN 6V4-OUNCE EE MORRIS OPTICAL CO. 444 State St Salem, Ore.

Flagg said today that many shippers in Oregon are faced with a serious car short age in the next few months. He said the area most affected will be that served by the Southern Pacific, south and southwest of Eugene. Th period of greatest demand especially in lumber and seed shipments is only starting. But the pinch already is being felt, Flagg said. Car supply to sawmills has been running as low as 60 to 70 per cent of the number ordered. And the heaviest, shipment of valley seed in history will be well under way In a few weeks. Estimates of the seed crop run as high as double that of 1949. Until now, the 1950 car sup ply on the S. P. has been the best in years But a lot of effort will be necessary, and empties will have to be hauled for long distances, if production and pay rolls are not to be adversely affected in the immediate fu ture, the utilities commissioner said. For the first time in many years, Flagg said, he has men in the field, in charge of a former car service expert of the ICC, checking to see that Oregon shippers are getting their share of available cars and that a fair distribution is being made. The commissioner concluded: "This is an annually recurring problem, and there does not ap pear to be any Immediate solu tion. The railroad has not been able to meet its obligation to the shippers. Its inability to do so has cost labor and employers a large sum each year for some time. 'This department Is co-operat ing with the shippers in seeking a remedy, and will continue ag gressively to do so."
