Polio Toll in Marion Lower While statistics show that Oregon is one of 12 states which are reporting more polio cases this year in comparison with 1949, Marion county's contribu tion to the total has not been as great, Dr. W. J. Stone, county health officer, reports. The records show the Marion county health department has been informed of 17 polio cases as of October 21. For the same period last year 26 Cases were reported. Oregon as a whole has had 328 cases, as compared with 236 for the same time in 1949. In the nation last year 35,913 cases were reported, the worst year in United States history. Up to the week ending Oct. 14, this year, 24,947 cases were re ported. Dr. Stone calls attention to the fact that the incidence of polio appears to be shifting from mid summer to early fall, with the largest number of cases being registered in October in Marion county for the past two years. Eleven of the entire total for last year were recorded in Octo ber. Newbry Answers Hegel's Charges Oregon City, Oct. 21 W) Earl T Newbry, secretary of state, defended the republican party here yesterday as the party that brought about Oregon's popula tion increase. Addiessing the convention of Oregon Republican clubs at West Linn, Newbry said democratic criticism stemmed mostly from the problems attending the state's growth. He said the republican ad ministration is solving most of these problems. He made reference to the criti cism by Austin Flegel, democrat ic candidate for governor, on the secretary of state's leasing of branch offices. - He said it showed how democrats lacked "legitimate issues." "Actually the people of the state are interested in highways, state institutions, development of state resources and a bal anced economy," he said, add ing that he had heard nothing from democrats along these lines.

Oct. 21 (U.fi) The disastrous effect air power had on the North Korean army since the start of the war is being revealed fully only now. Systematic study of communist war prisoners' reports and on-the-spot investigations by experts make it clear that the airplane Russia Votes (Continued from Page 1) At the outset, Vishinsky de manded that the committee steer clear of an "ostrich policy" and recognize the communist regime as the government of China. ' Nationalist China answered that the question was not accept able at the present stage of the debate and the committee up held that view. T. F. Tsiang, nationalist Chi na's chief delegate, promptly answered that the communist re gime is a Russian satellite and does not represent China. He called on the committee to toss out the Russian demand. Vishinsky Fails The United States, France and Britain have indicated their sup port of the resolution but a clash came today when Vishin sky called on the committee to list the names of the powers in the resolution and to give Chi na s place to the Mao Tze-Tung government. The Chinese na tionalists hold the U. N. seat. He said the facts are that the communist regime in China-v which he always refers to as the Chinese People's republic represents China and should be listed among the great powers. He put an amendment to that ef fect before the committee. "Let's not be like ants, like birds, or like ostriches, whp see ing approaching danger, hide their heads urlder their wings." he said. He said an "ostrich pol icy is unacceptable and he in sisted on naming the members. One Who Defied Curse Dies Santa Monica. Calif., Oct. 21 (U.RI Maj. C. Robert Hoyne, one of the last survivors of a 22-man party that defied an ancient Egyptian curse to enter the tomb of King Tutankhamen, died here yesterday. Hoyne, 64, died at St. John's hospital following a heart at tack. He was a member of a party of archaeologists who in 1022 entered King Tut's tomb, thus challenging a curse supposedly- uttered by Egyptian priests cen turies ago when the vault was sealed. Over the entrance of the tomb were engraved the words: 'Death shall come on swift wings to him that toucheth the tomb of the Pharoah." me archaeologists were led by Howard Carter and financed by Lord Carnarvon. Lord Car narvon died of a beetle bite shortly after the vault was en tered, and Carter'! secretary. Lord Westbury, committed sui cide. Several other deaths among members of the party streng thened the legend of the course. Neighborhood Psrtr A Hallowe'en party will be given Saturday evening, Oct. 28, at the Butler Methodist church by the people in that neighbor hood.

Central Club Meeting The regular meeting of Central Townsend club will be held at 7:30 o'clock Monday night at 2SS Court street. Silvertun's first town meeting was the single most feared im- plement in the United Nations hands. It may well be that fully eval uated prisoners' reports will show that the UN. forces actually under - estimated the damage fighter planes and bombers did to the communists from the first day of the war. According to reports from prisoner interrogations, air pow er early struck Red morale a a blow from which it never re covered. And, perhaps surpris ingly, one of the most success ful airborne "weapons" was the propaganda leaflet promising any North Korean humane treat ment if he surrendered. Prisoner after prisoner reports that these leaflets, dropped all over Korea, prompted him to quit and to convince his fellow soldiers that they should follow suit. One valued report in the hands of an American intelli gence officer is given by a cap tured communist colonel. The colonel said: "A single fighter strafing a North Korean column strikes terror into the heart of every man In the column and makes him feel that the North Korean cause is lost." (In Tokyo, Lt. Gen. George E Stratemeyer,, commander of the Far Eastern air forces, said to day: ("The North Korean military man has confirmed the U. S Far East air forces' evaluation of the F-80 Shooting Star airplane as a superb weapon for close support . . . our jet fighter Is the most effective and most feared weapon we have employ ed against the North Korean military machine." (Stratemeyer was replying in directly to criticism voiced early in the Korean war that Jets were"! poorly suited to tactical support operation.) Paratroops (Continued from Page 11 General MacArthur, who sup- ervised the big parachute drop rriday, said he is confident the end of the fighting and triumph for United Nations forces is near at hand Five South Korean divisions the sixth, seventh, eighth, third and capital are preparing to rush to the Manchurian bor der to cut off escape routes for remaining Red forces.

Route Changes (Continued from Page 1) "The proposed routing of the Liberty-Boone route is as fol lows: From Court and Commer cial via Commercial, Ferry, Lib erty, Leslie, High, Cross, Church Electric, Summer, Fairview, Bluff, Ratcliff Drive, Highway , Madrona Road, Liberty Road Boone Road, Sunnyside Road, re turn, via Highway 99, Ratcliff Drive, Bluff, Fairview, Summer, fclectric. Church, Cross, High Leslie, Liberty, Ferry, Commer cial to Court and Commercial, Two Roads Eliminated "It will be noted that two roads will not reseive service un der this plan. Twelfth street, from Highway 99 to Fairview produces an average of 12 pas sengers daily. The majority of these will still have adjacent service at Highway 99 and Sun nyside and on Bluff street be tween Ratcliff and Fairview. The other road is a section of Liberty between Hansen and Madrona These people In the main walk to Hansen avenue to avail them selves of the 10-cent local fare and will not be affected. The longest distance to walk In eith er direction to service will be 1,500 feet. "At the same time it is the de sire of the company to eliminate the present duplication of serv ice on Chemekcta and 24th street now served jointly by the Che meketa and Four Corners route. We propose to route the present Four Corners service over Park street from Center and thence via Park, Sunnyview, 24th and D streets to the city center. This service to be supplemented in rush hours by buses operating to Park and Sunnyview from the city. There will be no decrease in midday and rush hour service in conjunction with the proposed routing. The passengers from the Four Corners area will. have an additional four minutes added to their length of ride. Three Riders Per Trip "The Frultland-Swegle service (four trips daily) is producing an average of three passengers per one-half trip. The revenue obtained docs not pay the cost of the gasoline and oil used. This check has been made for the past 30 days of operation. The com pany desires to cancel this serv ice. "The aforementioned changes are necessary to enable the com pany to continue to operate the local city service without furth er curtailments or an increase In the rate of fare. We feel in the interests of good business and public relations that this la not the time to add further to the burden of the people by raising the cost of transportation. On the other hand we do not believe It proper or just to curtail essen tial transportation within the city of Salem to compensate for losses suffered by the suburban operations. The service to be rendered in conjunction with the changes In routing will be ample for the needs of the communi ties served."

(AP Wirephoto map) First Rehearsal Monday for Presentation of 'Messiah' Dated for Monday night is the year's first rehearsal in prepara tion for the annual presentation Oratorio society. The rehearsal is set for 7:30 in versity campus. Climax for the December 10 with the singing of the oratorio in Salem senior high school. As the big chorus made up of singers from local church choirs. individuals who like to sing, stu dents from Willamette univer sity, and Singers from surround ing towns, like Dallas, Mon mouth, Woodburn. Silverton, Jefferson and Independence launches into its seventh year, leaders of the group look back on an interesting bit of history for the organization. In January 1944 the world wasn't a very cheerful place with World War II on In all its fury and many of the cultural aspects seemingly slipping into oblivion, and then a small group of Salem folk met for the purpose of or ganizing a chorus. It was pat terned after European singing groups with the purpose of help ing to perpetuate the world's great music. Of course there were no funds available immediately. Although Dean Melvin H. Geist of Wil lamette university, one of the original planners, was willing to give his services as director and other musicians of the univer sity faculty were willing to do nate time and talents, the group included Bennet Ludden, Frank Fisher, Elwood Ball and others. there were items of expense to be met auditorium costs, for one thing, including the large item of a stage setting for sev eral hundred singers. Five local firms underwrote the expense, Bishop, Elfstrom's, Valley Mo tor company, Keith Brown com nanv and Clough-Barnk com pany. . Articles of incorporation wore drawn up by Bruce Spaulding another of the original planners who also served the group as vice president for several years Dr. L. E. Barrick, also one of the first planners, was elected president at the first choir or ganization meeting and he serv ed in that capacity during 1944 1945 and 1946. During that pe riod the big problem continued to be stage setting for a 300 or more voice chorus. Bleachers had to be borrowed from Willamette university and students "borrowed" to erect the seats on the siagc. This prob lem was finally solved when Frank K. Friesen volunteered to plan and superintend building of satisfactory seating. Ernest Frie sen offered the lumber at cost and with assistance from Marvin Roth arranged for trucks and men, free of charge to the group, to assemble and dismantle the seats each year. Storage space was made available by Mr. Frie sen, and cost of the material was paid by Dr. and Mrs. Barrick. ... Step by step the problems were met and each year has wlt- nessed a large turnout nf sing ers to make up the chorus. And each year the presentation of "The Messiah" as a special pre holiday feature has drawn whole hearted support o f townspeo ple who annually fill the high school auditorium to capacity, even to standing room. The first presentation was in the Leslie junior high building but since the concerts have been at Salem senior high. Others prominent as members of the first executive board of Ihe society were Silas C.aiser. John Schmidt. Justice Arthur D Hay, and the late Gladys M Thomas.
