Of Church Lot
Presbyterians Anxious
For Action on
Moving of Building
By JAMES D. OLSON
An early decision by the state
board of control on whether the
state will purchase the First
Presbyterian church property on
the corner of North Winter and;
Cbermketa streets was request
ed in a communication from the
building committee of the
church.
Board mtmberi Tuesday
agreed to meet with the com
rtfjttee composed of Rep. Robert
L. Elfstrom, William L. Phillips
and Arthur B. Bates in the very
near future for a discussion of
the proposition.
In the letter the board was
told that the church congrega
tion is growing to such an ex
tent that an addition to the pres
ent church plant is necessary
very soon.
To Move Across Street
If the state decides to pur
chase the property which is lo
cated in the capitol mall area,
the church will be moved to
property owned by the church,
located diagonally across from
present church plant.
On the other band, if the
board of control decides not to
purchase the property In the
foreseeable luture, church offi
cials plan immediate expansion
of the church plant.
State Treasurer Sigfred Unan
der suggested that the expanded
wing could be so designed as to
conform with the mall plans,
and although admitting that it
might be difficult, he felt that
church officials could consult
with the capitol planning com
mission to determine if his idea
Is feasible.

Atomic Power
Sub to Show
Exhibited in Salem next week
will be a miniature of the Navy's
atomic-powered submarine, the
VSS Nautilus.
Monday through Thursday the
42-inch model will be on display
in the window of Arbuckle's
shoe store on State street and
from Thursday night through
Saturday will be at the Naval
and Marine Corps Reserve train
ing center.
Constructed at the Puget
Sound Naval shipyard, Bremer
ton, Wash., the model shows how
a nuclear power plant can op
erate the vessel and how it may
be incorporated into the hull of
the submarine.
The Navy points out that the
Nautilus will be the world's first
"true'
submarine, for she willjthrough ; community was
tie able to remain submerged at
sea for months, even under Arc
tic ice, without even a snor
kel breathing tube to the sur
face. The submarine will oper
ate under water at more than
20 knots and will -dive deeper
and faster than any submarine
yet known.
Nautilus and her sister A-sub,
which is to be named the Sea
wolf, are under construction at
the Electric Boat Division, Gen
eral Dynamics corporation, Gro
ton. Conn. Estimated cost of
construction of each will be $32,
700,000. This does not include
costs to the atomic enery com
misiton for the nuclear portion
of the power plant

Washington VP) Repeal of
practically all major provisions
of the Taft-Harley labor law
was urgea on congress loaay oy
we American rvucrauuii wi
Labor.
A 13-page statement prepar
ed by AFL President George
Meany for house labor commit
tee hearings closely paralled
recommendations made public
recently by the CIO. The ef
fect of the proposals would be
to return the basic labor law
largely to the framework of the
Wagner Act, which the Taft-
Hartley Act modified in 1947.
Meany quoted President Eis
enhower as advocating "a law
that merits the respect and sup
port of labor and management"
The Taft-Hartley Act, now
on the books, does not merit or
enjoy the respect of American
trade unions, and that's putting
it mildly," the union official
said, declaring it has placed
"intolerable restrictions upon
the exercise of basic rights and
freedoms by trade unions and
their members."

book," weary

This adamant stand, and the
announcement earlier by Chief
U. S. Delegate John Cabot
Lodge, Jr., that the U.N. allies
would not budge from their
demands for an "honorable set
tlement" in Korea, Indicated a
continuing dealock on the
question during the rest of

No delegate has shown any
intention of introducing any
