Spring Mud Besides having to battle the Chinese Reds,
this tank crew has an additional problem to cope with,
mud. Spring rains, which have seriously hampered the U.N.
heavy tank movements, have given the Reds much needed
time to regroup. (Acme Telephoto)
Landscape Architecture
Not Overcrowded Profession
The profession of landscape architecure is not overcrowded,
Prof. Frederick Cuthbert of the University of Oregon, retiring
president, told the Oregon Association of Landscape Architects
here Saturday.
Cuthbert said he had only one graduate in that field to place
1 this spring, and added that "if-
could easily have placed 10, for
there is a definite upward call
for more landscape designers."
The landscape architects,
meeting here in their annual con
vention, elected Walter Gerke of
Portland to succeed Professor
Cuthbert as president. Miss Edith
Schryver of Salem was elected
vice president, Neil Butterfield,
Portland, with the national park
service, was elected secretary
treasurer, and W. Riley Malster,
Eugene park superintendent, was
made chairman of the commit
tee on memberships.
Over 30 association members
attended. Most of the day was
given to touring gardens. Gar
dens visited included those of
Hollis Huntington, Dr. Willard
Thompson, Mrs. Chester Cox,
Schreiner iris gardens, Elizabeth
Lord, Carl Nelson, and Mrs.
Keith Powell.
The business meeting and eve
ning dinner were in the Camel
lia room of the Senator hotel
where Miss Schryver showed'
slides of gardens in the southern
hemisphere that were visited by
her and Miss Lord.
A problem for landscape de
signers is level terrain as against
varied elevations, Mrs. Phillip
Brandt told the members, so in
the last 10 years a good deal of
attention has been given to the
former with interesting results,
the said..
It was Mrs. Brandt who work-
ed with Robert Severin, building
y designer, on the new building
and grounds of the Willamette
Credit Production association on
North Commercial street, and
that place drew much favorable
comment as the first public spot
in . Salem where building and
landscape designers have worked
In collaboration.
Mrs. Brandt, Miss Schryver.
Mark Astrup and Glenn Whar
ton were a local committee ar
ranging for the meeting. A two-
day meeting will be held m bep
tember at Beaver Creek Lodge
on the beach.

Louisville, Ga May 21 (
An air force officer was killed

The plane crashed and burned

Ex-Millionaire
Claims Down to
His Last Dollar
Los Angeles, May 21 m
Ex-millionaire George Fep
perdine says there's no point
in suing him he hasn't got
a dollar to his name.
Pepperdine, 64, made a for
tune in auto supplies and gave
$2,500,000 to the college
which is named after him.
But in superior court yester
day he said he had less than
a dollar in his pocket. Even
that, he said, was given to him
by his vife as part of his al
lowance. Mrs, Pepperdine is worth
between $50,000 and 3100,000,
he said. That's what is left of
gifts he gave her 10 years ago.
PepipercHne said he made some
bad investments and s now
their mansion is being sold to
pay debts.
Pepperdine was in court to
explain why he can't pay a
810,000 judgment won by
Maxwell L. Rubin, Chicago
attorney on a 1949 promissory
note.
Interest Sold
In Gravel Co.
Grand Island E. W. Mandigo
has sold his one-third interest
in the Grand Island Sand and
Gravel Co. to Norman C. Hanna
of Stanfield and formerly of
Independence.
Mr. Hanna received immedi
ate possession of his business in
terest. No change of- personnel
is contemplated, Mr. Hanna an
nounced. He plans to move his
family, a daughter 16, and a
son, 14, to the district with the
close of the school term. .
Mr, Mandigo pioneered the
business 15 years ago when he
and Dale L. Fowler started with
one dump truck. This has pyra
mided into a large business with
a string of modern trucks.
The 100-acre farm in the
Grand Island district, source of
the supply, was included in the
transaction.
Mr. Mandigo retained a build
ing location in Unionvale which
he may utilize after returning
from a vacation trip with his
wife and son.

Crashed Airmen Survive on
Scant Rations, Tests Prove
.Dayton, O., May 21 () How would you like to live on a daiiy
diet of three jelly bars, tea and coffee concentrate, two sugar
lumps, a piece of candy-coated chewing gum and a vitamin tablet?
Now, suppose you were living on this diet outdoors m the
Arctic with the mercury bouncing sluggishly around at 45 degrees
below zero. Suppose, too, there
were five inches of snow on the
ground and you had to make
daily eight-mile hikes across
country.
Impossible? Not at all, 35 men
of the U. S. air force did just
that for two weeks.
The idea? Well, the air force
wanted to find out if its air
plane crewmen could walk back
from a crash in the Arctic in
wartime.
The answer?
"We determined that Arctic
survival is feasible in overland
treks if the crewman has suf
ficient energy to make the most
of the survival equipment
which parachutes down with
him," said Capt. Harold L. Buf
fenbarger of the air force's air
materiel .command at nearby
Wright-Patterson field.
Captain Buffenbarger was
one of the 35 men who made
the test of air force survival
kits.
Big item is what the crashed
aviator eats. To get the most of
the slim low-calory survival ra
tion, the air force crewman is
told to eat a small part of the
diet each two hours. He is
warned not to eat it all at once.
"That way they can get by
fairly well," said Captain Buf
fenbarger. Why doesn't a crashed air
man just stay by his plane un
til someone picks him up?
"Ever since Arctic flying be
came a major activity," said
Captain Buffenbarger, "air
force survival techniques and
rations have been built about
the premise that the downed
airman will stay with the air
craft." .
But, now, said Buffenbarger,
air force crews are told they
might not be able to stay with
the plane under combat. Air
rescue squadrons might not be
able to carry on search proced
ures in a shooting war. Crewmen
might have to try to walk to
the nearest inhabited spot he
fore their food supplies run out.
Captain Buffenbarger and
his buddies of the survival test
may , save hundreds of lives
some day. They proved it can
be done. And, they found out
a lot about how to do it.
;
If you are ever in such a spot.
here are two tips:
Don't drink snow. Melt the
snow in the plastic bag packed
with the air force survival kit
by putting it next to your body
uon't try to soak up heat with
your clothes buttoned up and
your toes m a camp fire.
And, come what may, you
have one consolation: While fat
men do better under survival
conditions, thin men can do all
right.
"Even the thinnest person ac
tually has about 15 pounds of
fat he can rely on for reserve,"
said Buffenbarger.
Albany Burglars
Rob Four Businesses
Albany Burglars broke into
three Albany lumber yards and
a restaurant Wednesday night
but got only $4.30, two cartons
of cigarettes and a sandwich for
their efforts, police reported
Thursday,

try in each case the burglars
raided the offices of the Ham
mond Lumber company 415 East
irst avenue, Scharpf Brothers,
760 E. Second avenue, and J, W,
Copeland Lumber company,
Second avenue at Calapooia
street, and the Cottage Cafe,
333 East First avenue, Police
Chief Ray Maddy stated. The
four establishments are in sep
arated districts of the town.
The chief said he believed the
break and entries were made by
the same men.
At the Copeland yard they
took a hatchet to cash box and
upon getting it open found it
empty. Scharpf Brothers lost
$4,30 from their cash box. At
the Cottage cafe the men ate
sandwiches, and stole two car

born with malformed legs and
her right hand had no fingers.
Her legs were amputated be

on her hand, doctors fashioned
two fingers. She has been fit

Bean Pickers
To Be Scarce
Sfayton Housewives may
have to come to the rescue of
bean growers this summer,
Claude Litchfield of the state
employment office in Salem.
told a dinner meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce in the
Bon Ton cafe recently. Bean
growers were guests of mem
bers at the meeting.
A scarcity of harvest labor
in this area is anticipated, he
said, and it may be necessary
to conduct a house-to-house can
vas to recruit harvest workers.
J. S. Murray, fingerprint man
! at the Oregon state penitenti
ary and an expert on cheek de
tection suggested that bean
growers cooperate with th busi
nessmen by having their checks
printed and numbered. Mer
chants should maintain a file
of grower's signatures. Further
i precautionary steps should be
! taken by having those present
ing check for cashing, write on
the left hand side of the cheek
his social security number, date
of birth or his age.
M, Van Driesche, president of
the chamber, conducted the
meeting. Bean growers pres
ent were Merle Crane. Fred
1! Brown, Hrman Hndickson,
Dickman, Gorge Neitlitig, Law
ell Brown. Herman Hendrirk-
son. Jack Keudeli, Ray Har-
nar, Herman Darley and Neil
Dickman.
