Anti-Trust
(Continued from Page 1)
The criminal action involved
charges of a world-wide under
standing by major domestic
and foreign companies to con
trol oil distribution and prices.
Pressing of the case was held
up during the Truman admin
istration when questions arose
as to whether it might bring
out information damaging to
national security.
Preliminary to dropping the
criminal case, the Justice De
partment last week filed a civil
anti-trust suit against Standard
Oil Co. of New York, Stan
dard Oil of California, Socony
Vacuum Oil Co. Inc., The Texas
Co. and the Gulf OU Corp.

said at the time that the list of
defendants might be expanded

"When tax money stops go

by the public for the things

can produce," the 'secretary
predicted. -
One of the greatest stimu
lants, he said, would be the
"pew war on world' poverty"
proposed by the president in
his speech to the American So

The conception is "no mere

Claim Convicts
(Continued from Page 1)
Morgan said the Legislature
never intended that the land
clearing contracts should be ne
gotiated by an employe of the
board.
"I am very tired of seelne
official misconduct in this state
go unnoticed. by those in au
thority," Morgan wrote.',
George Alexander, prison
superintendent who has had
charge of prison work oper
ations, denied that convicts had
been used for land clearing.
"We cut wood for the use of
state institutions in several
places in the Jefferson area,"
Alexander said, "but no con
victs have been used for land
clearing. I can't tell from Mor
gan's letter as to what he re.
fers, but it undoubtedly was a
place where we cut wood."
Gov. Patterson hasn't been
available to the press for sev
eral days. He hasn't held his
usual daily press conference for
a week.

'It was hoped that we might

City Council Votes on
Disputed Street Issues
Some unusual actions were
taken by the city council
Monday night on petitions for
street improvement. t
. In one case the council vot
ed to improve a street regard
less of the fact that a major
ity of the property ownership
remonstrated against it. - i
In another case the protest
of one citizen was sufficient
to get an improvement peti
tion tabled, although the peti
tion represented over SO per
cent of the affected property, i
In a third case an improve
ment was defeated by wtih
drawal of names from the peti
tion. Property owners on Taft
street petitioned for improve
ment from Madison to the ter
minus ot Taft. Salem Linen
Mills, holding a majority of
the property, remonstrated.
The council invoked a new
charter provision whereby the
city may improve a street re
gardless of a majority remon
strance if it considers hazard
or traffic convenience make it
necessary. -
Alderman David O'Hara
City Needs One Way
Grid, Mayor Thinks
The city would like to oro
vide a one way grid in the cen
tral area but probably will not
have funds to do it this year,
Mayor Al Loucks told Kiwan-
ians at a panel discussion to
day.
The mayor said the grid
should be bounded by Com
mercial, Marion, Ferry and
Capitol and will be in order
when the old bridge it re
opened, about Dec. 1, but that
at least $30,000 will be needed
and it is not being placed in
the current budget.
Loucks answered everything
tossed his way, covering such
widely varied queries as poison
oak in Bush park, sheep in the
cemetery, poor lighting on
east State, rumors that the
West Salem fire station will be
closed, which he said are with.
out foundation, delays in de
veloping parks here, and many
otneri.
Other city officials sat at
the head table and answered
some of the questions. Presi
dent Jim Hunt presided.
Drivers Charged Raymond
L. Fullington, 560 North Water
street, was arrested by city po
lice Monday evening on a
charge ot drunk driving. He
pleaded innocent in municipal
court Tuesday and was ordered
held in lieu of $250 bail. Lloyd
Russell Collins, 830 Cade street,
was jailed in lieu of a $150 fine
for reckless driving. He was
also arrested Monday evening.
The U.S. government spent
about $51,700,000 in 1952 on
farm research and development.

DERBY BUG ON DISPLAY
ft O fi
Worth rlftn street, proudly
and Mayor Al Loucks contend
ed the charter provision was
intended for ; arterial streets,
and pointed out that Taft is a
dead-end street. v :
Alderman Tom. Armstrong
declared it is a rough and
dusty street that is nuisance
to the whole district and should
be improved regardless ot the
linen mill. Bud Reldy appear
ed before the council for the
petitioners. He said the Keith
Brown ' company, which gets
heavy r . traffic , through the
street, was willing to help the
property owners pay for the
cost of it.'" " 1
Tabled was. a petition for
the improvement of Haight
street from Prospect way to
Grenada way when Phil R.
Brownell remonstrated per-
sonally against that part of it
south of Hansen avenue.
Brownell told the council
that the assessment against
him would be about $4400,
and there are, he said, no
homes in the block.
More than the required 50
per cent of the property, at
fected was represented on the
petition for the improvement,
and nearly 25 per cent of It
would be assessable to the Sa.
lem school board, but Brown-
ell's protest- was weighty
enough . to ' get the . matter

In reply to a question City
Attorney Chris J. Kowitz said
the council does not have to
grant an Improvement peti
tion even though it is petition
ed for by more than 60. per
cent of the property owner
ship.
Improvement of Englewood
avenue from Klngwood drive
to Margaret street had been
petitioned for by a majority
of the property owners. Two
weeks ago Justice James T.
Brand of the state supreme
court and Mrs. Brand with
drew their names from the
petition, but it still had over
the required 50 per cent.
Last night Clyde Everett
withdrew his name, which
reduced it to 48 per cent,
which caused City Engineer
J. H. Davis to recommend that
no further proceedings be
made. In addition were two
other withdrawals, and the
council adopted Davis' recom
mendation. '
Street improvement resolu
tions adopted included:
Frederick street from
Thompson to Catterlin; Hyde
from Ford to 23rd; South 23rd
from Hyde to Claude.
Petitions for street Improve
ment received were:
, Forest Hills way from Long
view to the westerly terminus
of Forest Hills way; Granada
way from Hansen to Haight.
