THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, Salem, Oregon Pag I DISCOVERS HE'S ALIEN (J MONITOR Marius Christcnsen, 85, retired Monitor and Butte Creek rancher, is studying civil government to take a citizenship examination at Portland March 18. After voting regularly since 1897, Mr. Christensen discovered recently that he is not a citizen because he was more than 21 years of age when his father, a native of Denmark, took out his citizenship papers. Mr. Christensen wants to establish his citizenship, and that of his wife, 87, who became an alien when she married him, so that they may visit relatives in Denmark. ' Creamery to Aid Mr. Angel In Building Sewage Plant MT. ANGEL Principal or der of business of the Monday evening meeting of the Mount Angel city council was discus sion on the city sewage plant Joseph Berchtold, manager of the Mount .Angel Cooperative creamery, presented the cream ery's position relative to its share of the cost in financing the dis posal plant, which is to be built by the city. Berchtold explained the vote taken by the members at the annual membership meeting, when the creamery board was authorized to spend up to $38,000 as the creamery's share of the cost of the plant, and he went on further to show what the creamery menns to the city. Ap proximately 75 farmers come to town each day to deliver milk to the creamery. The creamery has 825 lockers in the plant which are rented to 563 families, with the creamery making a $523 cash dividend refund annually to locker users. The locker rent charged by the creamery is 30 per cent cheaper than other lock er plants. The creamery av erages 52 employees, with an annual payroll of $172,623.34. The value of the creamery is $63,000, and the assessed valua tion of the creamery is 10 per cent of the city valuation. It was also brought out that the three co-operative organi zations in the city pay 22 '4 per cent of the city tax. Other business matters taken care of at the Monday meeting Included reading of the report from the Portland General Elec tric Co., which showed that the PG&E's gross revenue for the electric energy sold within the city limits of Mount Angel amounted to $54,875.85.

Air Raid Sirens Give 90 Per Cent Coverage An evaluation of the results and effectiveness of the Thursday and Friday test air raid alarms in Sa lem was transmitted in letter form to Colonel Arthur M. Sheets, director of the Oregon Civil De fense Agency. Wallace S. Wharton, director of the Marion County Civil Defense agency, wrote that "it is possible to report that while minor im provements are desirable the sys tem provides 90 per cent cover age." This is the coverage deem ed necessary in target cities, of wmcn fcaiem has been designated one by the Federal Civil Defense Agency. lhe tests were conducted at 12:15 p.m. on both Thursday and Friday. The signal, a coordinated sounding of the steamship whistle mounted on the roof of the Oregon Pulp and Paper company plant, and the city fire siren mounted in the tower of City Hall, was .sound ed for a three-minute period. mere were 57 official "listen ers distributed throughout the citjy including two teachers at each school In addition to the official ob servers, spot checks were marie from the Salem Civil-Defense of fice following the Thursday test An analysis of tl reports from the official auditors and from those spot-checked was submitted to the state civil defense nffir The annalysis read as follows: 1. All of the nubile schnnU within the city limits and envi rons heard the signal, except at Englewood School. Schools be yond Englewood, and auditors in adjacent areas heard the signal Audibility inside the school buildings was poor. Z. Twenty-seven of the 38 citizen - volunteers made re ports. Six of those reporting did not hear the signal one in West Salem, two in the north end of the city and three in the southvest sector. Of the 21 that reported hearing the signal, 14 reported it audible inside as well as outside. 3. Extreme voints of audi. bility were the XSLM transmit ter and Cliffmoore Village, both in tne west Salem area; Hayes ville School in the north; Middle Grove School on the Silverton Highway in the northeast; Swe- gei school and Auburn school on the east: the U. S. Weather Bureau at McNary airport in the southeast; Prlngle school and Liberty school in the south. The signal was heard on a farm near Turner, nine miles south. 4. In the 30 degree sector originating at State and Com mercial Streets, with South Com mercial Street and South River Road as that radii, autibility was rery spotty and poor. Five re ports of hearing the signal were made from this area, but as in dicated in pargaraph S, the ma jority of reports of non-hearing were from this area. The hilly terrain of this area compris ing Fairmeunt Hill, Candalaria and Salem-Heights, which inter fered with audibility, also would shield the area from bomb blast from the most pro ably target centers of the city. 5. Audibility of the signal was excellent within the area which is one and one-half miles of the probably target center, especially inside buildings of the downtown area and of the state 'capital group . 6. Audibility of the signal has been greatly improved by com bining the tone, pitch, and car rying capacity of the steamship the fire siren into an integrated sound. One or the . . the wnistles attracted attention, whereupon the other also was heard. - . 7. Improvement is indicated as necessary in synchronizing the signals, in better inter-communication between the Salem sub key point and the signals and in obtaining better coverage in the area outlined in 'paragraph 4 by an auxiliary signal for that area. These improvements, .however, are minor in character and well within the two per cent as set forth in FCDA TM-4-1. 8. It also was apparent that there is need for public education to achieve better recognition and identification of the signal. De spite the extensive press and radio announcement! of the test, several hundred telephone calls were re ceived by public officials, inquir ing why the whistles were blowing.

OJC Fast Service Delirious Fond Trv Salem's Best rinre to F.t Enemies of Warren Flayed at Meeting A resolution defending Chief Justice Earl Warren and con demning the actics used against him in an effort to block con firmation of his appointment was passed unanimously Tuesday noon at a meeting of the execu tive committee of the Marion County Chapter, Oregon Repub lican Clubs. The resolution declared that "we condemn the action of the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee for his attack on the character, integrity and qualifi cations of Earl Warren in the recent hearing preliminary to the Senate vote on confirmation. "We particularly condemn the credence given to the unfounded lies of the unscrupulous Demo crat politician who seeks pub licity for his campaign for the Democratic nomination for the governnorship of California a man who is himself a fugitive from justice." It was regretted the resolution was too late to be used in War ren's defense, but the resolutions committee, headed by George Haley, was alerted for possible similar future attacks on the characters of .reputable citizens. Gerhard Pagenstecber is presi dent of the chapter. The execu tive eommittee met at the Sena tor Hotel.
