"All persons connecter! n,t.
the department those persons
in me department and
those who have dealing, with
the department are united in
their belief that the administra
tion of the department has been
gooa.
The governor said that Via
had also caused an examination
to be made concerning the as
sessment and taxation division
of the tax commission being
handled by Commissioner Sam
otewart.
"I find that In the brief
period of time that Mr. Stewart
has been serving as an admin
istrator he has made a remark
able record among those who
deal with this branch of the
commissibn and that they are
very laudatory in their remarks
concerning his brief adminis
tration," the governor said.
Row Recalled
At the time of the appoint
ment of Ray Smith and Robert
D. MacLean to the tax com
mission four years ago, Secre
tary of State Newbry and the
then state treasurer Walter J.
Pearson joined in making the
nominations but former Gover
nor Douglas McKay refused to
join them, causing considerable
furore around the state house.
Newbry Agrees
Newbry Monday praised the
governor for conducting an in
quiry and said that the tax
commision had been well
handled by the present com
missioners. Carl D. Chamber
of Pendleton is the third mem
ber of the commission whose
term does not expire until De
cember 31, 1954.
Unander told we Doara tnat
he had been out of the city
for the past week, and while at
the moment he would be will
ing to concur in the governor's
nominations, he felt he wanted
a few days to make his own in
vestigation. (ConUnued from Page 1)
Street improvement bonds
and water bonds are not affect
ed. Water bonds are secured
by the utility income.
On April 15 the school ad
ministration office and the city
treasurer were informed of the
situation in a letter from R. B.
Harkness of Dwinnell, Hark
ness and Hill, investment brok
ers of Boston, which said:
"Over the years the writer
has been interested in selling
to investors obligations of your
city. We were quite amazed re
cently to find that Moody's In
vestors Service had reduced
the rating on Salem, Ore., gen
eral obligation bonds from 'A'
to 'BAA.'
"Any comments which you
might have concerning the re
duction of this rating would be
appreciated, inasmuch as we
have several clients to whom
we have previously recom
mended the purchase of the
bonds and who now own sub
stantial blocks of them."
This letter caused inquiry to
be made of Moody's through
A. Lathron. of J. K. Willis-
ton, Conrad Bruce & Co., bond
brokers of Portland.
He had this reply from D. W.
Elinwood, manager of the mu
nicipal department, of Moody's.

Annual Scout Circus
Colorful Spectacle
The Boy Scout circus, under
the sponsorship of the Salem
Lions club, has become one of
the traditions of the capital and
that of last Saturday night at
Waters field was on a par of
those that have gone before.
In spite of temperatures that
were far from comfortable and
a threat of rain, a crowd ap
proaching the 2000 mark saw
the youngsters demonstrate
their skills during a two hour
performance. A parade down
town preceded the events at
the ball park.
The grand finale was the
showing of the Scout insignia
and the United States flag in
colored fireworks atop the tow
er constructed by Explorer Post ,
no. 10 ol St. Vincent de Paul
Catholic church.
The chariot race, highlight
in every circus, was won by
Troop 41, Keizer Community
club. Second place went to
Troop 65, Monitor fire depart
ment. The Flying Carpet event
was taken by Troop 54, Ger-
vais Farmers Union and sec
ond place went to Troop 14,
Oregon School for the Deaf.
Awards made in connection
with the parade include
Informal Meet
(Continued from Page 1)
In a review of foreign prob
lems Churchill told the house
of commons:
1. The compromise truce
proposals offered by the com
munists in Korea should be
given "sympathetic and patient
examination.
2. Western Germany needs
to be incorporated soon into
the western defense set up
Britain Intends to stand firm
ly behind her commitments to
Western Germany.
3. Britain will discuss ar
rangements lor providing an
international defense of the
Suez Canal Zone but British
troops will defend themselves
if the Egyptians try to start
trouble there.
Plwmf9l finltitlnns
4. A piecemeal solution of :
problems with Russia was bet
ter than no settlement at all.
This could be interpreted as
mild criticism of President
Eisenhower's recent all Inclu
sive peace plan. ' '
5. The position of French-
led forces in Indochina has
improved, partially because of
the advent of the rainy sea
son there. He warned the
west not to assume too hastily
that Moscow is calling ' the
tune for the military move
ment in Indochina.
Churchill clearly showed
that tie believed the death of
Stalin has brought about an
important new factor In world
diplomacy.

No. 17 will meet at the George
Johnson home, 1335 North 18th
street, at 2 o clock Tuesday aft

Control Tower
(Continued from Page 1)
Diiatush and one other con
troller, R. J. Fisher, have been
in Salem ever since the tower
reopened here February . 28,
1949. Other controllers are
Bob Magill, Royce Miller and
Fred Granger. All are mar
ried, four have families and
three own their homes in Sa
lem. . i
Discontinuance of the tower
at the airport will mean that
planes landing and taking off
from there may use either
runway that they choose and
can go any direciton that they
choose. Also there will be no
control of traffic and the
planes will be on their own
on determining which lands
and takes off first.
The letter received from the
regional office in Seattle by
Diiatush' Monday stated that
Helena, Montana, was the
other CAA control tower in
the Seventh region, which in-
eludes Oregon, Washington,
Montana and Idaho, listed for
closing. Helena, however, has
been a combined airways com
munications station and con
trol tower. The communica
tions station will remain.
Concerning the instrument
landing system, the ' letter
from Bedinger said:
"The ILS monitoring is to
be discontinued, unless it is
feasible to have this accom
plished by the weather bu
reau. If not, automatic
eqiupment will be provided,
which will shut the equipment
down in event of malfunction
tag.
Salem will probably lose
another government installa
tion in the economy move
the district CAA engineer's
office. The Salem office ' is
one of 11 in the Seventh Re
gion, which is being consoli
dated with the Sixth Region
to form a larger area (the
Fourth Region) with head
quarters in Los Angeles. Three
area offices will be located in
the new region.
In charge of the local CAA
district office is Jake Fryber
ger, district airport engineer.
He has an assistant engineer
and a secretary in his office.
Still in the rumor depart
ment, but being circulated as
a rumor is the fact that the
weather bureau in Salem
might be affected by the econ
omy drive.
Jack Bartlett, state director
of aeronautics, was one of
those hearing the rumor and
he has contacted Hugh Span
gler, regional administrator
in Salt Lake City, asking in
formation on the matter. No
word has yet been received
from Spangler.
A few years ago a 'move was
made to reduce the hours that
the . Salem weather bureau
would operate during the day.
Protests from the city admin
istration, the Chamber of
Commerce, farmers in this
area and various organizations
prevented that move. .
Two Resignations
Sent to White House
Washington W) President
Eisenhower Monday accepted
the resignation of William H
Draper, Jr., a U. S. special
representative in Europe for
economic assistance.
The White House also an
nounced the resignation of
Howard K. Travers as ambas
sador to Haiti. Travers gave
ill health as his reason. Both
resignations are effective June
30. No successor was an
nounced to either man.
Engineers Make Survey
Marion county engineers will
visit a section of the road up
the Little North Fork of the
Santlam river Tuesday where
a change is being made In con
nection with the Installation of
a power line, Tne expense oi
the change in the road is to be
tottrMttd.
Louclis Seeks
(Continued from Page 1)
On the other side of the pic
ture the mayor and some of the
aldermen think Franzen has
fallen down on public relations,
and that as an administrator he
doesn't measure up to his engi
neering ability. As the mayor
puts it "we feel -that some of
the city departments are run
ning him instead of his running
thein."
Enrene Plan Liked
1 ..
The mayor deciinea to name
the departments, but the engi
neering' and' the fire depart
ments would be two of them,
and probably the police depart
ment the other. Franzen has
firmer hold on the water de
partment because part of his
salary is paid out of its reven
ues. It is actually under the
city manager although It oper
ates separately from other city
activities and with a separate
financial set-up.
But the major difference be
tween Mayor Loucks and the
city manager relates to organi
zation of the city council. The
old mayor-council government
that preceded the managerial
form was one of standing
committees. The council had
over a dozen of them. Mayor
Loucks thinks the council
should go back to standing com
mittees as is done In Eugene
under its managerial form.
Franzen does not agree with
him.: .
Fransen Silent
"We are firmly for the man
agerial form of government,"
says Mayor Loucks, "but as we
have it now we feel its too
much of a one-man govern
ment." He explained by saying
the council would be more rep
resentative of the people if it
had standing committees and
that council members them
selves would be closer to city
problems.
City Manager Franzen pre
sumably believes that city ad
ministration would be hamper
ed rather than helped by the
committee system.
Under the Salem city charter
the council is a legislative and
policy-making body, while ad
ministration and managership
of departments and finances
are functions of the manager
under Tne state retirement
plan the retirement age of pub
lie officials, after which they
can continue in office only at
the request of the municipali
ties employing them, has been
changed from 65 to 72 years.
Since Franzen was 65 the may
ors have each year requested
his remaining in office. Th
request, if he stays in office,
will hot be necessary again lor
four years.

Shah's Private Estate
Given to Government
Tehran, Iran () A royal
decree announced Monday the
transfer of the Shah's privately-held
estates to the govern
ment of Premier Mohammed
Mossadegh. ,
This is another victory for
Mossadegh in his campaign to
bring the royal taurt under
complete government domina

The payment specified b 60
million rials about two mil
lion dollars at the official rate,
or $800,000 at the current un
official rate. The money, will
be spent on charities by the
Royal Institute for Social Serv
ices, but the funds will be
under government supervision.

Mossadegh regime after clashes
In March.
These clashes were followed
by the resignation last month
of Hussein Ala, veteran Iran
ian diplomat, as the Shah's
chief court minister. Ala, a
powerful prop of the monarchy
against Mossadegh's dictatorial
regime, had been accused by
the. Nationalists of being a cen
tral figure in 'intrigues" against
Mossadegh.
The Shah's beautiful 21-year-old
wife. Queen Soroya, is in
Rome. The royal court an
nounced she had gone there for
medical treatment. Rome ad

signs of illnes, and speculation
then was she left Tehran at
the urging of the Shah during
his battle for power with Mossadegh.
