COMMUNIST LEADER All five were arraigned be fore U. S. Commissioner Jo seph Karesh here last night less than nine hours after they were caught in the FBI trap. Almost simultaneous with the arraignment of the five here, other FBI. agents were arresting a sixth person impli cated in the huge communist coverup. A woman identified as Patri cia Blau, 42, alias Janet Con roy, was stopped as she drove her car from Modesto to Stock ton, Calif. The FBI said her car "had been used" recently by the two fugitive Red lead en. The woman, who also uses six other aliases, was held in San Joaquin County Jail at Stockton where she was to be arraigned later today on charg es of harboring fugitives. Norblad Balks (Continued from PkeTt 1) Norbland, now in Oregon, said in the letter which was sent through his Washington of fice: "I fail to see why any serv ice, whether it be the Marine Corps, Army, Navy or Air Force under a program of re ducing its budget and releasing many officers and enlisted men should at this time under take the promotion of 22 gen erals. Norblad'a Protest "You will recall that aU of the -services were under criti cism during the last session of congress for having promoted its officer personnel into the general rank to the point where we now have the aver age of three or four times as many generals per man as we had at the height of World War II. "The services indicated to our committee armed services and to the congress that they would not make such wholesale promotions in the future, but this is the first indication to me that thia policy is not being followed, at least by your serv ice." Sentenced Don Coleman, wisnram, wasningion, was lin ed $10 and sentenced to 10 days in the county jail Thurs day, in Woodburn justice court on a charge of petty larceny. He was charged with the theft of 29 ears of corn from the cornfield of George Grimts, Hubbard, on Wednesday. Four! companions of Coleman were given 5-day suspended senten ces earlier in the day in Marion county district court. Tho real thing ARRESTED Steel Erection (Continued from Page 1) To eliminate any cross traf fic on the Pacific highway one way traffic will be instituted. To accomplish this a new south bound road Is being constructed by Roy L. Houck of Salem. Under plans of the highway department north bound traffic only will be carried on the present Pacific highway for a half-mile stretch beginning just nortn oi Hubbard. An overhead road located about 100 feet south of the railroad overhead on the pres ent concrete road leading to the Wilsonville ferry, to carry south bound Pacific Highway traffic over this road is under construction by Birkemeier and Saremsl, bridge contractors. An Interchange structure to allow traffic on and off the new Salem-Portland express way from the Wilsonvllle-Os-wego county road will be con structed at a point about one mile south of the Willamette river. Bids for grading the first unit of the southern portion of the Salem-Portland ex pressway will be received by the highway commlsison at Ha next meeting, and the re mainder of the road from Ger- vais to Hayesville will be con tracted at the January meet ing. The entire $11,000,000 ex pressway is expected to be completed and open to traffic in the fall of 1955. The Salem by-pass Is ex pected to be completed in the fall of next year. When com pleted traffic will be able to enter the by-pass or leave It at only four locations, Hayes- vme, the northern entrance to the by-pass; Garden Valley road (Market street); at the point where the new North Santiam highway enters Sa- lem and at Battle Creek, the extreme southern end of the by-pass.

Then, officers said, the prisoners apparently drop ped into the county clerk's vault which can be opened from the inside after which they probably got out via a fire escape.
