but just in ease yours hasn't
been to see you or you have
forgotten his name, here's a list

If you recognize the name of
your inspector, pick it from the

you. He's probably the one or
maybe can help you.

Faster Turnover of
Parked Cars Wanted
Largely at the request of
downtown merchants, the city
administration has Instructed
Chief of Police Clyde A. War
ren to crack down harder on
meter feeders.
The feeders are both employ-
era ana employees ai some
places of business who park in

chants have told the adminis
tration they want a faster turn

Cities Told
' (Continued from Page 1)
One problem stressed by the
league president was that of
off-street parking and parking
meter regulation, which seems
to be common among the city
members of the league.
Thirteen cities of Marlon and
Polk counties were represent
ed by several score of their of

the regional meeting. '.
Cities represented were Au

conclusion of his speech, in
troduced Ray Coulter, ' league
consultant who represented the
cities in the 1953 legislative

of the session in which the ci
ties were interested.
Coulter complimented City

Salem, and vernal McMullen.
member of the Salem planning
and zoning commission and of
the county planning commis
sion, for the assistance they
gave him during the four

After the two addresses the

all important . city problems
were discussed informally.
These , Included liquor-by-the-drink,

In addition, the detonation
tested bunkers and simulated
fortifications, both above and
underground, constructed for
the military, and series of
wall segments and textile
samples mounted for civilian
defense experiments. Twenty-
five autos, which came through
previous tests at Tucca Flat,
were moved to Frenchman
the southernmost test area to
undergo another blast.
Two Air Force drones. QF-

the test at Indian Springs AFB,
A similar drone crashed in
the last test April 25. ,
Twenty Air Force planes.
both bombers and fighters,
completely manned, passed
over tne site shortly after the
blast. It was part of the Air
Force's continuing atomic erew
indoctrination. The planes were
believed to include B36s, B47s,
F84s, and F86s.
The shock of the explosion
reached Las Vegas about five
minutes afterward, but caused
no damage.
This- was the eighth test of
the spring series and the first
held at Frenchman Flat An
hour after the detonation, the
troops were reported moving
forward in their maneuvers to
ward ground xero, according to
plan.
Army guns, tanks and trucks
were part ot the military equip
ment tested; various samples of
military uniforms were also
subjected to thermal heat tests.
The B-50 which delivered the
bomb came from Kirtland

Like Humphrey the defense
secretary testified behind clos
ed doors. An outline of his
statement was given newsmen
by Chairman Chiperfleld (R
111.). . .
Wiley said Humphrey testW
fled "the legal limit on the size
of the national debt may have
to be increased."
May Raise Debt Limit
The limit is 379 billion dol
lars and the debt now Is about
265 V, billion.
"There is no prospect at all
for anything but an increase
in the national debt at the pre
sent moment" Humphrey was
quoted as saying.
"We have not been able to
make the reductions I person
ally hoped to make," he added.
Wiley said Humphrey ex
plained that "the difficulty in
cutting the budget . . . is that
65 to 70 per cent of the ex
penditures is-for security and
about half of the remainder is
for relatively fixed items, such'
as the interest on the national
debt. That leaves only 15 to 17
per cent of the total budget
which is really subject to re
duction unless you Involve
security."
