Silverton Hills Men to
Farm Ground at Airport
By MARGARET MAGEE ;
Farming of land pn Salem's I except a strip to thu east of
airport will be taken over by
two farmers from the Silver
ton Hills area, J. C. Krens and
Richard J. Krens under a five-
year agreement between the
two and the City of Salem.
For the past few years what
farming has been done on the
airport has been by Feu-view
Home. Four hundred and
fifty or more acres are involv
ed in the agreement.
i The agreement between the
Krenzes and the city of Salem
is from October, 1953, to Sep
tember 30, 1958, but permits
the "farmers to get onto the
land prior to that date to pre
pare the soil for the next
year's crop and do what plant
ing is necessary for the crops
for the following year.
i That area ' around the run
ways and enclosed by the taxi-
ways on the airport is restrict
ed to grass or hay crops. Un
restricted farming will be per
mitted in all of tha other areas
Doctors' Draft
Passes Senate
Washington () The Senate
Thursday passed bill extend
ing lor two years, until July 1,
1950, authority to draft doc
tors, dentists and veterinarians
into the armed forces.
The measure, previously
passed by the House, was ap
proved on a voice vote without
objection after a brief explana
tion of its terms.
Two changes made by the
Senate will have to be ironed
out with the House before the
legislation goes to the Presi
dent for his signature.
One amendment would con
tinue the 3100 a month extra
pay now going to all physicians
and dentists who volunteer to
accept commissions as officers.
The Senate committee also vot
ed the extra $100 monthly
above pay ot other officers for
veterinarians after July 1.
The other Senate change
would cut down the required
service ot the medical officers,
depending on prior military
service.

President Plans
(Obnttnutd from Page 1)
"No single free nation can
live alone In the world," the
President said. "We have to
have friends. Those friends
have got to be tied to you In
some form or another.
We have to have that unity
in basic purposes that comes
from a recognition, ot common
interests."
The President was asked at
the outset ot the news confer
ence:
Do you share Sen. Taft's
view that we should forget the
United Nations as far as the
Korean war is concerned." '
"No." the President replied.
Big Three Meeting
Other foreign policy high
lights in Mr. Eisenhower's news
conference:
1. He said the Big Three
meeting in Bermuda, tentative
ly set for mid-June, might be
delayed by the failure to form
a new French government
a. He said he does not necea-
sarily believe the Bermuda con
ference will lead to a later
meeting with Russia, despite
British and French hopes that
it will. .
3. The President opposes ad
mission ot Red China to the
United Nations under present
day circumstances wherein the
Chinese government supposed
ly is subservient to Moscow.
No Ferced aWMtrlattea
. He sees no evidence ot a
rising tide ot Isolationism In
this country. He said the bulk
of the American people feel
there Is no safety for a tree
country standing alone.
5. He said no solution ot the
Korean war should be adopted
wmcn .according to our con
science, is basically unfair to
South Korea. In connection
with the truce talks, the Presi
dent restated bis unchangeable
position that there be no forced
repatriation ot prisoners. He
said the Allies stand together
