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

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

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.

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.

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.
