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.

Air Power Destroyed
North Korean Morale
Seoul, Korea. 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. Everyone else who is in
terested may attend, however.

and Mrs. Harold Caligan, cele

the party.
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.)

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.
