: Regatta Adds
; Extravaganza
DeLake, July 13 The Aqua
plare on scenic Devil's Jake on tne evening 01 juiy ioui is some
thing entirely new and unique in the entertainment line, accord
ing to Dean LaPoint, Salem promoter who is organizing the
mull, chnur ?'
The water festival, which La
Point describes as the Mardi
Gras of the Northwest, will be
presented for the first time this
vear as a colorful addition to the
Devil's lake regatta which has
been a summer beach attraction
here for many years.
The show will feature the
crowning of the regatta queen
by the Lake Devil (the Indians
believed the lake to be inhabited
bv an evil spirit), and will con
sist of a number of eye-filling
production numbers and perfor
mances by singers, dancers and
comedians. Among the novelty
acts will be a water ballet pre
sented entirely by local talent.
Also in attractive evidence
during the two-hour show will
be several shapely models who
will display, among other things,
the all-new Jantzen swim suit
line of 19S0. Miss North Lincoln
Beaches (Norma Jeanne Ander
son of Portland) is expected to
be present and will be intro
,duced to the gathering during
the course of the evening.
The regatta itself, which will
roar through Saturday and Sun
day, July 15-16, will be the most
ambitious yet offered the pub
lic, according to George Cal
kins, commodore of the Devil's
Lake Yacht club, original spon
sors of the affair. Top drivers
from all over the western part
of the United States will com
pete and an added thrill will be
provided by aerial daredevil
Dick Travis who will parachute
into the lake from a hovering
plane after a ten-thousand-foot
delayed drop.
Truman Lists
Plans for Korea
Washington, July 13 (IP) Pre
sident Truman said today he is
considering mo b 1 1 1 z i n g more
men and money behind the Ko
rean war effort. He declared he
will take any steps necessary to
bring It to a successful conclu
sion. In a mood of confidence and
determination, Mr. Truman told
a news conference the United
States will hold on in Korea.
He said we never have had
the tar licked out of us and It
won't happen this time.
Under questioning, the presi
dent said that among things re
lating to the Korean emergency
under consideration for proper
action at the proper time are
these:
Calling in reserves, specialists
and the National Guard.
Asking congress for more mo
ney for military purposes in the
near future.
Mobilization of manpower In
general.
Reports both to the people and
to congress on the Korean situ
ation. Mr. Truman said he hasn't
changed the opinion he express
ed last week that conditions in
Korea are hopeful.
"Are they anything more than
hopeful?" a reporter asked. The
newsman added that queries are
coming all the time as to what
reassurances can be given that
we are not getting the tar licked
out of us.
It's never happened to us, Mr.
Truman replied emphatically,
and it won't happen this time.
He went on to say that we'll
be able to retain a foothold In
Korea, one as far north as the
38th parallel.
Asked whether that meant
there would be no "police ac
tlon" north of that line, Mr. Tru
man said that decision would be
made when It becomes necessary,
The president says he still calls
the American fighting in Korea
a police action.

No Food Lack,
Says President
Washington, July 13 VP)
President Truman today said the
government has under consider
ation plans for every phase of
home-front mobilization but will
use them only if necessary.
Mr. Truman told his news con
ference:
No food rationing will become
necessary;
No food shortage is in pros
pect; and hoarding is very fool
ish. Mr. Truman said the sharp in
crease in many food prices must
be attributed to profiteering.
He implied he has no imme
diate plans to call on congress
for emergency powers dealing
with price, wage or allocation
controls or with the conversion
of civilian industry to war pro
duction.
All matters relating to the
emergency are under considera
tion, he said, and at the appro
priate time steps will be taken
if they are necessary.
Earlier Senator Maybank (D.
S. C.) had said that if the world
situation is "as black as it's being
painted," the government soon
might be forced to slap drastic
controls on the civilian economy.
Maybank is chairman of the
senate banking committee, which
would have the job of studying
at least part of any control legis
lation which President Truman
might ask.
Some well-placed officials have
reported growing pressure on
the administration to seek at
least limited controls on indus
try to help arm the country for
the fighting in Korea.
Officials in a position to know
said no specific control plan has
yet reached President Truman
and there has been no decision
on seeking emergency powers
from congress.
Warning Post
For Aircraft
Preliminary instructions for
setting up an aircraft warning
post in Salem were received
Thursday from Lt. Col. Stanley
E. Matthews of the Western Air
Defense force by Airport Mana
ger Charles Barclay, supervisor
for the Salem post.
Included with the instructions
were forms upon which names of
the observers were to be placed
the Salem post will need from
20 to 30 observers on a stand-by
basis.
In the pamphlet received by
Barclay it was explained that the
post would be used only for low
Hying airplanes, with radar to be
used on the high flying planes.
It will be the duty of observ
ers to watch for military craft
that might be dropping para
troopers or fire bombs and posts
will be placed close enough to
gether that field glasses will not
be used.
Observers, manning the post
are to be on a volunteer basis
and the post is to be placed
where it has a reasonable view
of the sky, is within 15 seconds
of a telephone and where it is
easily accessible to those mann
ing it. Two observers are to be
on duty at a time.
Present plans call for settine
the posts up on a stand-by basis
until exercises are held or it is
needed.

County Crops
Grass and grain crops In
northern Marion county are be
ing seriously damaged by grass
hoppers. County farm agent Ben Newell
said yields of chewing fescue
were being affected, reduced as
much as half in some areas.
Newell said growers In the

yields of 200 pounds an acre, but
would do well to salvage 100
pounds.

spring barley and oats fields in
some districts near Hubbard.

ing made to determine the range
of the insects to other county
districts.

Plaque to Mark Spot Where
Oregon Folk Died by Bomb
Bly, Ore., July 13 High in the vast expanse of southeastern
Oregon's whispering pine forests,
War II will be relived this summer.
Pines which witnessed death
monies dedicating America's only continental World War II bat
field as a patriotic shrine. The
event assumes special signifi
cance because of war clouds now
hovering over this country's fan
eastern outposts.
On August 20 a bronze plaque
set in a native stone monument
will be unvieled to commemor
ate civilian victims of an air
borne enemy assault. The lone
ly site, to be known as Mitchell
recreation area, is on tree farm
land owned by Weyerhaeuser
Timber company, which is spon
soring the ceremony, according
to R. R. Macartney, general man
ager of the company's Klamath
Falls, Ore., branch operation,
It was on May 5, 1945, that
death visited near Bly, a lumber
town of about 600 people, 45
miles east of Klamath Falls.
News of the casualties, which
struck local residents, was kept
from the outside world because
of wartime censorship. But his
tory was to record the grim event
as "the only place on the Amer
ican continent where death re
sulted from enemy action dur
ing World War II."
Four boys and a girl, ages 11
to 14, and a young married worn
an met instant death on a picnic
outing when they picked up and
detonated a bomb attached to a
grounded Japanese balloon,
Fiendishly conceived, these air
borne missiles with their lethal
cargoes had been released from
the Nipponese mainland by the
hundreds during the closing
phase of the war. Drifting high
on thermal air currents, many
reached scattered Pacific coast
areas, but inflicting no damage
on targets of. military impor
tance. Innocent victims of this lurk
ing death were: Mrs. Elsie
Mitchell, 26; Jay Gilford, 13;
Edward. Engel, 13; Dick Patzke,
14; Joan Patzke, 13, and Sher
man Shoemaker, 11, all Bly res
idents at the time. Mrs. Mitchell
was the wife of Reverend A. E,
Mitchell, now stationed in Indo
china. The recreation area is
named after Mr. and Mrs. Mitch
ell, leaders of the fatal outing
party.
Feature addresses at the ded
ication ceremony will be made
by a representative of Lt. Gen
eral Albert Wedemeyer, com
mander of the Sixth army, and
Governor McKay of Oregon.
Lake county officials and men
identified with the war incident
over five years ago will also ap
pear on the program. Families
of the victims will be honored
guests and will receive com
memorative awards from the
United States army, according
10 present plans.
According to R. R. Mcartney
the ceremony will be open to
the public. Because of the isolat
ed nature of the dedication site,
arrangements for transportation
and refreshments will be an
nounced at a later date.

New Ruling on
Navy Recruits
In the future only those men
who enlist with the rating of
recruit or apprentice will be
prevented from joining the navy
because they have dependents.-
That word was received
Thursday by the Salem naval
recruiting office.
Previously dependents had
prevented men from enlisting in
the first four enlisted rates.
The change now makes it pos
sible for grades E-3 and E-4,
which previously had been pre
vented from enlisting if they
had dependents to enter the
navy.
The memorandum to the Sa
lem station also stated that all
men dischargerd under ALNAV
117-49 and men last discharged
by reason of dependency under
article C-10308 may now be re
enlisted without reference to the
bureau of personnel.
