McKay was one of 48 governors who received this silver copy

Thielsen Will
Ask Annexation
Annexation to the city prob
ably will be the solution of H.
William Thielsen's water prob
lem at his Candalaria Heights
home.
If he petitions the city for
annexation, which he indicates
he will, his property which was
barely missed in an earlier an
nexation, will be the only pro
perty Involved. For that reason
there will be no vote necessary
outside the city. But the people
inside the city will have to vote
on it as in any other annexation
Mayor Robert L. Elfstrom
said Thursday he doubted if it
could be put on the November
ballot and that It wouldn't be
practical to call a special elec
tion on any other date, hence
that it probably will await the
regular spring election in 1952.
In the meantime, however.
Thielsen won't be deprived of
water. If he petitions for an
nexation the city will allow him
him a water connection pending
the election, as it has done for
other annexation petitioners.
And for a itime, Herman ' M.
Johnston, owner of City View
cemetery, who had threatened
to cut Thielsen off from his
water supply from the cemetery
tank, will continue to let him
have water. Johnston has so ad
vised Mayor Elfstrom.
Thielsen's plight was discus
sed by the city council Monday
night, Sept. 11, when he told the
council Johnston had said he
would cut him off unless he per
mitted a road across his property.
The result was that the coun
cil voted to give not only Thiel
sen a connection, but 60 other
property owners on Evergreen
avenue, thereby reversing a city
policy relative to furnishing city

possessions at the Marion coun
ty jail Thursday while he await

wanted in Salem in cases involv
ing some $900 in bogus checks.
Taken to district court Thurs

The U. S. army's Seventh di

south of Seoul Thursday, fight
ing for the last ridge west of

The Job of the Seventh divi

southern end of Seoul and cut
off the Reds' approaches from
the southeast.
Entrapment of 5,000 Reds by
the U. S. First cavalry division
was the standout development
on the old southeast perimeter.
The marines' entry into north
west Seoul's narrow streets was
met by stiffening resistance.
Field dispatches reported the

the city at 6 p.m. Wednesday (4
a.m., EST), from their Han river
crossing eight miles downstream.

Capitol Medal
Presented Here
Governor Douglas McKay was
one of the 48 governors of the
nation who joined Wednesday in
paying tribute to the keystone
anniversary of the national cap
itol at Washington in ceremonies
in each state capitol made pos
sible by cooperation of the na
tion's air lines.
The actual date of the anniver
sary was September 18.
At each state capitol an air
line hostess, or other air line
representative, presented to the
governor on behalf of the na
tional sesquicentennial commis
sion a silver copy of the official
sesquicentennial commemora
tive medal to mark the 157th
anniversary of the laying of the
cornerstone of the United tSates
capitol on September 18, 1793.
In Salem H. E. White, repre
senting Station Manager Hal
Sweeney, acted for United Air
Lines in making the presenta
tion. The presentations launch a
nation-wide sale of the medals
that were struck at the United
States mint, on order of Presi
dent Truman, to bring about
greater understanding and ap
preciation of the principles upon
which the nation was founded.
In Washington, anniversary
ceremonies were conducted at
11 a.m. Led by Vice President
Barklcy, sesquicentennial com
mission officials paid tribute to
the significance of the original
Masonic cornerstone ceremony
on the hour at which' George
Washington laid the cornerstone,
the. first act in creating the per
manent capital.
The Washington ceremonies
will be held at the law library
entrance to the east portico of
the capitol, directly above the
location of the cornerstone.

3. The communist press step
ped up its propaganda barrage
against the west, shrilling cries
of "Ami (American) and Tom
my (British) go home." On the
other side of the ledger the Rus
sians released, after 14 hours
of routine questioning, two Am
erican military police they had
nabbed yesterday in the border
area. The men said they had not
been mistreated.
4. Berlin's barge traffic with
west Germany remained par
tially crippled as some 50 barges
lay tied up here with their car
goes. The Russians would not
clear their crew lists for inter
zonal passage, claiming the lists
were out of date. The German
skippers declared clearance of
new lists would keep them idle
for months.
5. East Berlin cold storage
houses, keeping goods for west
Berlin firms, told the western
ers to evacuate. The latter call
ed it " more communist chi
canery." Plans were made to
seek American financing for a
west Berlin warehouse.
Today's electric blackout try
was the second time in inree
months that the communists had
cut power delivery to the west.
They laid their action to a dis
pute over payments. West Ber
lin authorities branded it as
a purely political move.

Chest Campaign
Drive Launched
Salem started its drive to raise
$111,000 for the 1950 Commun
ity Chest fund Wednesday night
with a pre-campaign kick-off
dinner at the Senator hotel.
Speaker for the pre-campaign
affair, which marks the opening
of the pre-campaign drive for
larger donations, was Charles A.
Sprague, editor of the Oregon
Statesman and pre-campaign
chairman for Salem's first Com
munity Chest campaign 14 years
ago.
In his talk Sprague told the
group that the welfare of or
phaned children and character
building institutions was depen
dent on the success of the drive.
He praised civic leaders who
take time to help with Chest
work and predicted that with
the help of new workers Salem
this year would go over the top.
The speaker also noted that
funds raised in the drive mean
better citizens developed by ac
tive chest agencies, who receive
funds from the drive.
Date fcr the main drive, when
individuals will be solicited for
contributions is October 3 to
October 13.
Presiding at the dinner meet
ing Wednesday night was A. C.
Hang, pre-campaign chairman,
and among those introduced
were Loyal Warner, state Com
munity Chest president; Carl
Hogg, chairman for the general
drive; Al Loucks, president of
the Salem Community Chest;
and William M. Hamilton, first
president of the Salem Commun
ity Chest.
Mehama Petition Not
Allowed by Court
After Investigation the status
of Blair street In Mehama for
which a petition asking oiling
and surfacing of the street by
the county was filed Tuesday,
the county court denied the pe
tition. Grounds for denying the pe
tition were that the Blair street
was not on the county road sys
tem and therefore not eligible
for public road funds. At the
time of the filing of the petition
which had 24 signatures, it was
stated that the street had been
torn up by logging trucks.

Truman Lauds
(Continued from Page 1)
When a reporter asked whe- -
ther he knew of many democra-!
tic senators whose records eaual-
led or surpassed Taft's, the pre-
smcnt replied very few and ad-
ded: i
There are more republicans
who voted right than democrats
who voted wrong, so the country
still has a bi-partisan foreign ,
Praises Congress
The president said he was
very well pleased with the re
cord of congress now about to
recess. He said It had given him i
not all but substantially what he
asked for in the way of legisla- -
tion, and had accomplished the
business it set out to do. He said
he had no plans to campaign
lor democrats to the new con-
gress.
Mr. Truman was asked at the '
outset today to comment on Gen.
George- C. Marshall's testimony
before a senate armed services '
committee. A reporter said Mar
shall disclaimed responsibility '
for this government s China
policy in 1946 when he visited
China on a special mission.
Comments on Marshall
Mr. Truman replied that Gen
eral Marshall at the time was not
secretary of state, but a special
envoy for him. He added that
Marshall, sworn In today as the
new secretary of defense, had
written instruction for him when
he went to China.
The president said a new de
puty secretary of defense to suc
ceed Stephen T. Early, resigned,
will be appointed as soon as pos
sible and he is still looking for
men to fill posts under the eco
nomic control act.
Mr. Truman predicted the
foreign ministers meeting In New
York will attain their objectives .
before they are through. He
said they are making great pro-,
grcss.
Asked what U. S. policy will
be on whether to go beyond the
38th parallel in Korea in clean
ing up Korean communists, the
president said that is a question ,
for the United Nations since the
forces opposing the Korean Reds
are a U N organization.
He added he will abide by the
decision of the UN.
