Injured Wife Lies on Floor 5 Weeks, Dies New Haven, Conn., June 21 U.R Frank Bethke, 69, called a neighbor Tuesday and asked that police be sent to his house "because I think my wife is dead." Officer Edward Herman said he found Mrs. Anna Bethke, 63, dead on the kitchen floor and that Bethke told him she had lain there for five weeks with a broken hip and wrist. Mrs. Bethke fell on a flight of cellar stairs, her husband said. He said he managed to drag her to the kitchen, and that he did not call a doctor "because my wife told me not to." He said he fed her, and tried to take care of her, and that Mrs. Bethke told him "it never bothered me" not to be moved. Last Saturday, he said, was the last time he could be sure she was alive.

Douglas McKay Chevrolet Company 510 No. Commercial St. Salem, Ore. Ore., Thursday, June 21, 1951 ui ,w.u. actions of armed forces procure- sment officers. The charges were made in a scathing report released by the orocurement subcommittee of the house armed services com mittee. The subcommittee recom mended that all four contracts, which totaled nearly $3,300,000, be cancelled. The large contract was award ed March 14, but no work had been done on it by May 25. The company had $1,209 on hand Feb. 28 when it was bid ding on the contract. The report said it planned to make $139,000 profit, but the subcommittee be lieved the profit would have been much more than that. It told the "fantastic" story of how "promoters and their bank er allies, who are more interest ed in a lead-pipe cinch profit than anything else," caused the nation's established manufactur ers to be passed over in awarding the four contracts. Subcommittee Chairman F. Edward Hebcrt (D-La) said the report is "only the starter's gun" in the job of acting as watchdog on military spending. Hcbcrt's report said the Eivair corporation of Jackson, Miss., was organized last Sept. 25, proposing to make electrical as semblies for aircraft. However, its main government contracts were for canvas tank covers and tow targets. First directors of the compa ny were a. A. Totten, urover Cleveland, F. M. Justice and A. B. Down, Jr., all of Jackson. .The subcommittee said the firm's brochure included a pic ture of a plant at Natchez, Miss., which Eivair did not even lease until last Feb. 26. The brochure described Totten as having IB years experience in business and accounting. The report said Eivair neglect ed to mention that he served a term in the Piatt county jail and another in the federal peniten tiary at EI Heno, Okla. The fed eral term was for mail fraud. Distribution manager or sales manager was B. T. J a y n e of Ponca City, Okla., who met Tot ten when both were in the peni tentiary. Neither had any experience in manufacturing, Hebert re ported. Rita Hayworth, Aly Closer to Settlement Paris, June 21 U.R) Attorneys for Rita Hayworth and Prince Aly Khan moved closer to a di vorce settlement today, but its terms may never be made pub lic. "Under Nevada law, the set tlement would be private and not available for public scru tiny," said Bartley C. Crum, the red-haired actress' lawyer. In the I ana A. I -V Kf.Vs. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION s, ti5 ' Ithi wis These Trucks Hamper Traffic No immediate action is in prospect toward the widening of South 12th street, says the county court, since the improvement would involve the U. S. bureau of public roads, the state, and the county. The picture shows how big trucks hold up traffic coming off the grade south of Hoyt street. Sympathy, But No Relief Yet For South 12th Street Traffic While the Marion county court sympathizes with South 12th street residents in connection with traffic conditions growing out of the bottleneck restrictions presented by the grade south of Hoyt street, no immediate action is expected toward widen infi the street. The South 12th street cutoff leading to highway 99E carries a large volume of truck traffic and long line of motor vehicles, especially southbound, are a fa miliar sight. Because of the re strictions of the two-lane high way and the cut through which the road passes, slow moving truck traffic hampers faster moving vehicles. South of Hoyt street the high way is inciuaea in tne xeaerai aid system and improvement would involve the U.S. bureau of roads, the state highway de partment and the county. So far the county has not been ap proached by either agency in connection with any proposal to widen the road. Widening would probably necessitate the purchase of additional right of way. When the by-pass route is de veloped east of Salem, it is an ticipated a considerable amount of the heavy truck traffic will be taken off the South 12th street run.

The sum compares with $2,486,636 for the last fiscal year. Larger salaries for county em ployes accounts for much of the increase although $31,000 was included in the budget to take care of expenses involved in moving county offices and pay ing the rent incident to construc tion of a new courthouse. Most county offices will be housed in the old high school building dur ing construction. The budget was set up during a series of conferences held last May.
