Keenan, former No. 2 man in the justice department and former U. S. war crimes prosecutor in Japan. Keenan spent many months in Tokyo after the end of the war, sent some of its top lead ers to jail for atrocities in the Philippines and for the attack on Pearl Harbor.. But the other day he went back, was cordially received by the em' peror, treated generously in the Japanese press, and called on one of the war criminals he had convicted. He was Mamoru Shigemitsu, Japan' foreign minister all during the war, and sentenced to seven years in jail by Kee- nan's court. Shigemitsu, whom I knew In Peking when he was a sec ond secretary of the Japanese embassy and I was a young newspaperman, always seem' ed to me pro-American. Kee nan confirmed this impression, aid he didn't want to prose cute him, but the Russians and other members ol the court in- sisted on it and we were trying to get along with the Russians in those days. Whether Shigemitsu is pro American or not happens to be of great Importance these days, for he may be the next premier of Japan if Premier Yoshida fails of re-election this month. Significantly, Shigemitsu re ceived Keenan without bitter ness, said he felt Japan's only course was with the United States. i Bouncing Mayor Fahrettin Kerin Gokay of Istanbul bounc ed into Washington the other day, then bounced on to Chi cago and the west coast to at tend various medical conven tions. Mayor Gokay, sometimes called the LaGuardla of Tur key, has the same dynamic en ergy as the late mayor of New York and the same reputation for honesty. But Mayor Gokay goes LaGuardia one better. He is a doctor, is in the United States to meet various psychi atric experts. Furthermore, Mayor Gokay, a teetotaler himself most Mo hammedans are doesn't be lieve In letting drunks litter up the streets of Istanbul. So when a man is arrested for drunk enness, he is given an Injection which makes the patient death, ly ill if he ever drinks again. As a result the mayor is one of the most feared men in Tur keyby some people. (Coprrliht, mil BORN SALEM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL JANAMA To Rer. end Mn. Thornton Jenaine. 141 N.

Home Building Holding Its Own Washington OT The govern ment reported Saturday that home-building activity for the first quarter of this year just about equalled the same period in 1952. The Bureau of Labor Statis tics said there were 245,000 housing starts in the January- March period this year, com pared with 246,500 unit start ed in the same period a year ago. . Starts this past March to' tailed 97,000, or 26 per cent more thftn the 77,000 in Febru ary. But the rise was not so large as usual for this time of the year, when home construc tion begins to pick up after the winter lag. , The bureau said final figures showed 1,127,000 new perma nent non-farm dwellings were started in 1952, one of the big gest home-building years on record. This was about 8 per cent above the 1,091,300 units started in 1952, but 20 per cent below the 1950 record of 1,896, 000. . , Fuel Taken The theft of several gallons of gasoline from a tractor tank and from an out side gasoline pump at the James A.

Willamette By noon, almost every avail able bit of space along the bank of Mill creek was occu pied by hopeful Juvenile fish ermen. The creek is closed to anyone 18 years of age or older. The Salem Izaak Walton League an the Salem Lions club were manning five check points along Mill creek, regis tering all fish caught by the boys and girls. One of the checkpoints near the penitentiary annex, reported 40 fish turned in at noon today. - A number of boys and girls fishing in the area had caught fish, but bad not yet checked in. A number of prizes are waiting kids catching the largest fish, for the youngest boy and youngest girl to re port a catch, and for the first limit catch reported. The prison annex check point said that apparently no body fishing in that arse had approached the limit by noon today. Another checkpoint, near the state forestry build ing, did not have a count of the number of fish turned in, but lt was thought to be the busiest checkpoint of the five. The other three checkpoints are located upstream, at Aumsville, midway between Aumsville and Turner, and at Turner. Prizes will be awarded at a special gathering of youthful fishermen at the Izaak Walton League clubhouse next Satur day. Ways, Means (Continued from Page 1) "Three principal factors in- uuenced our decision to re- refer this question to the vot ers: The excessive cost of an institution confined to the aged mentally ill; the fact that the aged need the companionship of younger patients,' and the pressing need for third men tal hospital." The statement points out that doubtless the people thought, as did the committee members. that the proposed institution would be open to all aged per sons, in effect a nursing home for the aged. Admissions Limited "This is far from the actual situation we have discovered," the statement continues. 'Hin der the terms of the measure approved by the people the pro posed institution would be open only to such persons as are afflicted with certain men tal ailments peculiar to the aged. They would be admitted only by commitment. Their number, therefore, would ne cessarily be fairly limited. Because admittance to the proposed Institution would be limited, the committee discov ered that Its cost would be at least twice as high as that of operating the state's two men tal hospitals. Costs Run High In the Salem and Pendleton state hospitals the per capita cost now runs about $82 a month, the committee statement said. In the proposed "domicil iary hospital," largely because of absence of younger patients who would perform some of the work, this cost would run be tween $180 and $179 for each patient. The need for a third mental hospital in Oregon is recogniz ed by our committee and the legislature generally," the co chairmen declared. "We feel that such an institution should be located in the Portland area which contains one-third of the state s population'. Limit Salem Hospital "The committee this year took tne first step toward es tablishment of such an institu tion when lt refused to concur in the recommendation of the board of control that the Salem state hospital be greatly ex panded. We feel the Salem in stitution should be limited to 3600 patients which it is now approaching." ' The commltee ignored entire ly the fact that present build ings in which the aged are housed in the state hospital in Salem have been condemned by the state fire marshal and a constant threat of a holocaust is ever present in the old hos pital building and in Ward 48 where some of the aged are housed. ' Scattered Showers Cloudi ness, occasional light rain to night and scattered showers for Sunday is the weather out look for the week-end in Salem and vicinity. The showers are not expected to be heavy enough to prevent garden fans from doing considerable work in their yards if they want to, Sunday. Only -a trace of pre cipitation was recorded for Salem in the 24-hour period to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, and only 37 of an inch is measured for the first 18 days of April.

Forest Code (Continued from Page 1) When one recalls the heat ed controversy over the ori ginal severance - tax bill en acted in the 1S47 legislature lt Is worthy of note that House Bill 481 the severance tax bill passed both houses of the 1953 legislature without a dissenting vote. Another Important bill tightens restrictions on logging operators who use power equipment in hazardous areas and enacts into law many of the rules and regulations of the forestry board. These in clude prohibition of the use of fuse and cap in blasting, the use of powder in topping trees, tightens the provision which requires the falling of snags coincident with logging and re quires permits when mills and factories are constructed with in forest areas. New Fire Financing House Bill 238 sets up an entirely new method of fi nancing fire patrol associations and state fire patrol districts. It provides for assessments and extension on the tax roll of budget estimates rather than actual cost. This allows fire districts to make needed Improvements and additions to equipment on a current basis and will speed the allotments of government money to compensate for pro tection of O&C lands. An approved senate bill al lows the governor to close game seasons when fire condi tions make it unwise for con centrations of sportsmen in the woods. This is expected to clarify a condition which has existed for many years. A house bill defines new areas which will be subject to closures due to low humidity and requires permits for log ging operations over the en tire state. Formerly, special permits were required only west of the Cascades. In connection with the hunt SURGICAL SUPPORTS Of all kinds. Trusses, Abdo minal Supports, Elastio Ho siery.

"Ask Your Doctor" Capital Drug Store 40S Slate St, Corner of Liberty RAH Green Stamps IS YOUNG ANGLERS' "V-jfti.... 1 ol 18, the banks and braes of ing season, under former statutes the governor was em powered to close forests to en try but had nothing to do with operation of the hunting sea son. This made it possible for hunters to hunt on areas out side the closed forest areas and as result much confusion was caused through inability of either forest or police authori ties to control traffic through forest areas. With game seasons closed at the same time forest areas are closed, much confusion will be eliminated. Senate Bill S Increases the amount of bond from $8 to $16 per area which must be furnished by an owner or oper ator of forest lands who is found to be cutting in viola tion of standard- set up for proper reforestation. This in crease was needed because of the increased costs should the state forester find it necessary to replant the area. Timber Owners Responsible Two approved house bills make timber owners responsi ble for logs, poles or piling lost or placed upon county roads and state highways. If owners fall to remove them within 80 days they are presumed to be abandoned and the county or the stale may dispose of them. in brief, House Bill S47 clar ifies the procedures, definitions and responsibilities of land owners for protection of their lands and other lands against fire. Closely allied with the for estry bills was passage of Sen ate Bill 269 considered by the logging Industry as a marked Improvement in highway leg islation. No major changes were made in allowable weights or dimensions of loads but some clarification of the basis for fining those in violation of -.tx.
