About the 22 American cap tives who have refused repa triation, he said: "I feel we were lucky to lose only 22, in view of the In doctrination and propaganda Uoned in an article on "Treas ure Island," Which appeared in the December issue of Leath erneck, magazine of the Mar ines. The two are Col. William F. Parks, former Oregon man. who is the headman of the or ganization on Treasure Island, snd a former recruiter here. Master Sgt James R. Van Hekken. After telling of the building of Treasure Island, which was started in February, 1938, the article notes that the history of the Marine Corps on Tress- they were exposed to.

The article notes that Mar ine Barracks, Treasure Island, is a familiar sight to more Marines than any other base in the Carps and tells of the Barracks, Parks It atso Naval Station Security officer, and Station Vehicle Control offic er, as well at being listed at having "duties In connection with tba administration of transient personnel at and pas ting through the San Fran cisco area." Parks hat a 367- man detachment, which is divided into nine semi-inde pendent units. As the article continues it mention! and briefly tells of the duties of some of the key men at the Marine Barracks. It Is in this part of the story that Master Sgt James R. Van Heeken, former Salem recruit er, is mentioned. Telling of the arrival of troops coming in from overseas the article says: "Arriving at t h e barracks the troops are met by Master Sgt. James R. Van Hekken, chief troop handler of the sec tion. Sgt Van Hekken and his troop-handling crew play an important part in the success and are in the right place at the right time. All troop hand lers are NCOa who have aeen service In Korea." Both Cot.

J Traffic difficulties in the nearby Willamette University and SUte House districts also were discussed in a general way, and a letter from R. H. Baldock, state highway engin eer, said that extending Win ter street through Willson Patk to Court street might re lieve the situation, but that it doubtless would be opposed by the public. And City At torney Chris Kowitx said that extending the street through the park would violate the or iginal park dedication. As a more practical solution Bal dock mentioned widening of 12th street which has often been suggested. Baldock also advised the Council that Capitol street from -Court to Center should continue for two-way traffic until 12th street is widened. i An ordinance bill was in troduced to extend Ferry as a one-way traffic street another block, from Cottage to Winter. The Council Monday night approved a bid by the Electric Corporation of Salem for in stallation of traffic signals at Pine and Broadway. The bid was $3149. The contract will be awarded by the State High way Commission. . Because of the absence of Alderman Claud Jorgensen the Council tabled an applica tion of Foster and Kleiser for ridges, who have a $90,000 in vestment as well as other bus iness in the district City Engineer J. H. Davis said he wasn't sure, but thought there might be an en gineering solution to the trou ble, and he and City Manager Franzen were directed to in vestigate and report. Relative to a request by Mrs. Delia Hay den for per mission to construct garages on her property at 585 North Summer, the Council bad a letter from the State Board of control saying It was going to appraise the property, would buy It if the appraisal is satis factory, and if it bought it would not want the garages i William Dickerson r e c e n 1 1 y North Howell The PTA is planning a jitney supper to be k.U -. .
