Two Air1 Force generals testi fied that although much engineer ing work remains, "no inventions are required" to perfect intercon tinental missiles. They disclosed also that a definite schedule of de velopment has been prepared, and expressed confidence it will be met. The testimony was given by Maj. Gen. S. R.Brentnall.assiSt ant chief of staff for guided mis siles, and Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Schreiver, who is in direct charge of the long-range missile program. A House Appropriations subcom mittee made public a censored version of their testimony last night. Brentnall said missile develop ment was long stymied because of the size of the warhead. But he sah." the "advent of lightweight high-yield warheads" has simpli fied many technical problems and assured eventual success. Schreiver said the big job now is to plan and put together the complex system required to oper ate accurate missiles. He did not say. in the released testimony, how long that mighl take. Does This Load Wfeigh Too Much? u ' "' m on ABaAijMafliBjhvjB Attendance at Home, Garden Show Declines Sunday attendance at the Sa- Ilem Lions club Home and Gar den Show at the state fair- I grounds, estimated in excess of j 4,000 persons, swelled the three- day total attendance to 8,861. While the Sunday crowds were said to be the largest in the three-year history of the show, the overall attendance was down slightly, officials said. The drop was blamed on a large number of competing activities over the weekend, particularly opening of Ithe trout fishing season.

(Capital Journal Photo) Weighmasters Bring Reduction In Overloaded Trucks on Road Log Violations Show Sharp Decline By JAMES D. OLSON Capital Journal Writer A substantial reduction in overload trucks during the past six years can, to a great extent, be attributed to the work of 65 men who handle the weighing of trucks in various parts of Ore gon for the state highway com mission. Heavy fines for violators and assistance in emergencies by members of the Oregon state police have also made the "weighmasters bible" which contains all pertinent informa tion of the duties of the person nel of the station, list of high ways on which certain loads are permitted, public utility commis sion regulations and other infor mation for the guidance of the station men. There are no 8 to IS o'clock work schedules at the stations for the simple reason that there are not sufficient men to work out any such schedule with a 40-hour week in vogue. To keep the stations open during the greatest number of hours that trucks operate and on Saturday and Sunday as well, staggered shifts have been arranged. Linn 22,044 and Douglas 16,523. Little Complaint Chief Welghmaster Spauldlng says that surprisingly little com plaint is made Jjy delays due to weighing and said that this is probably because efforts are made to speed up the operations as much as possible. All men in the division have instructions to cut down delays wherever pos sible. Importance of the work of the weighmasters to the citizens using the highways, as R. H. Baldock, chief engineer of the highway department, has point ed out many times, is that over loaded trucks destroy the highways. The legislature has been lib- Building Code Exceptions Set For Heading The Salem planning commission will hold hearings May IS on four proposed variations to the city building code. Central Assembly of God church is seeking permission to enlarge its building at Cottage and Hood streets and wants to eliminate the Cottage street setback require ment. Setback changes are sought by Ludwig Schoultz, who plans to build a house on Lefelle street be tween High and Church streets, and Gabriel Marsh who wants to construct a home on the east side of Maple avenue between Pine and Hickory. Permission to change the set back and provide 16 instead of 27 off-street parking spaces is asked by Betty Byrd in connection with a proposed 27 unit apartment court on the northwest corner of Chem eketa and 13th streets. This meets the nrnhlpm nuite enntri- well for the stations but virtually eral in setting up legal weights robs the men of going to any " maus, m.-iciock said.
