PTT Planning
For $500,000
Addition Here
4-Story Structure to Co
Up South of State
Street Building
The Pacific Telephone and Tel
egraph company's architects are
drawing plans for a $500,000
four-story plus basement addi
tion to its headquarters building
on State street, F. A. Dressier,
, a vice president and general
manager for Oregon told Salem
Chamber of Commerce members
Monday at the Hotel Marion.
The addition will be approxi
mately 60x70 feet in dimensions
to provide about 18,000 square
feet of floor space in addition
to the basement. The estimated
cost, unusually high because of
the demands of such a building,
will be in addition to the equip
ment to go inside it, Dressier
laid.
Construction should begin in
September or October with com
pletion next year, the general
manager estimated. "Salem is
one of our fastest growing ex
changes," he reported, and gave
some figures on past growth.
In the past 10 years the com
pany's investment in Marion
county has grown from $2,900,
000 to $11,500,000. its telephones
from 9700 to 32,000. Salem em
ployes have grown from 100 to
400, operators from 35 in 1940
to 143 now despite installation
of the dials. EM for Empire
will be added as a prefix to Sa
lem telephone numbers in late
1956, the speaker said, explain
ing that this is part of a nation
wide program to permit one to
dial a number in any city in the
United States from here.
The Oregon advisory council
of the telephone company, meet
ing in Salem today, approved 34
telephone construction projects
in Oregon totalling more than a
million dollars. Members at
tending this meeting were Ted
Chambers of Salem, who intro
duced the speaker; Milo Mclver,
Edward Sammons, Ed Dwyer and
James Redman of Portland and
Frank Taylor, Pendleton.
Harry Holloway, district man
ager here, introduced Chambers
and several telephone company
officials. Invocation was by Dr.
George Roseberry, district super

Of Shootings
Domestic Disputes antl
Broken Love Claim
Oregon Toll
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Domestic disputes and broken
love led to three separate shoot
ings in Oregon Sunday. The toll:
Three women killed, one man
dead, and two persons wounded
seriously.
Two were killed at Portland,
where Gladys Chetney, 31. had
refused to marry Roy Bredahl, 40.
She was shot dead and so was
her mother, Mrs. Gertrude Chet
ney, 74. Witnesses rushed into the
Chetney home alter a series of
shots. They found Bredahl on the
floor with two gunshot wounds in
his chest. A revolver was beside
him.
He was hospitalized in critical
condition, and police said a mur
der charge would be filed against
him.
At Eugene, 55-year-old John A.
Emmick was served with divorce
papers, and went loomng lor nis
estranged wife with a pistol. He
tried the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Hunger. She wasn't there,
but he took one shot at Hunger
and two more at Mrs. Hunger for
good measure before departing.
The shots went wild.
Then he broke into the home
of Mrs. Lena Irwin Poyfair, about
60. His wife was there, but he
did not find her. First he en
countered Mrs. Poyfair in a hall
way and shot her. He fired several
random shots in a bedroom, ap
parently unaware that Mrs. Em
mick was hiding in a closet
there.
Then he went home. Police found
him dead from a self-inflicted shot
there.
Mrs. Poyfair was listed as criti
cal when taken into a hospital,
but later improved and was listed
in fair condition.
Near Dallas, Mrs. Margaret
Alice Fanning, 41, fell dead with
three bullet holes in her back
Sunday night.
Sheriff's Deputy Bob LeFors said
the husband, Bayliss Gilbert Fan
ning, 57, admitted shooting the
woman after a quarrel.
"This is an awful thing. I guess
I lost my head," LeFors quoted
Fanning as saying.
NO EGYPT-POLISH DEAL
CAIRO, Egypt, Egyptian
and Polish officials say there is

nephew. (AP Photofax.)
Miss Mangum Pleads
Guilty in 'Giveaway'
Employers' Funds
"Embezzled for
22 Years
NORFOLK, Va. m Minnie
Mangum plcadcc' guilty Monday to
a fabulous embezzlement scheme
from her employers to finance a
lavish giveaway program for fam
ily and friends over a period of
22 years. The court accepted the
plea and found her guilty.
The plump 52-year-old spinster
was a veteran officer of the Com
monwealth Building and Loan
Assn. which was toppled into fi
nancial ruin early this year by
her defalcations of almost three
million dollars. She was found
guilty by Judge H. Lawrence Bul
lock in Corporation Court.
Defense attorney Max H. Broudy
asked the court to defer imposition
of sentence for 30 days to allow
time for submission of a proba
tion report. Judge Bullock granted
the motion, set the sentencing date
for June 25 and permitted Miss
Mangum to remain at liberty un
der $50,000 bond.
The court convicted Miss Man
gum after she had "pleaded guilty
to 12 of 16 indictments, one charg
ing embezzlement o' $1,082,968.25.
Other indictments to which she
pleaded guilty were eight charg
ing forgery, two charging she gal
false information concerning
Commonwealth's financial condi
tion to the state corporation com
mission and one indictment
charging embezzlement of $17,
364.01. State Prosecutor Linwood B.
Tabb indicated he would ask the
court to quash three indictments
alleging embezzlement, one of
them in the amount of $2,884,000.
The 52-year-old spinster was con
victed last week on an indictment
charging she lied to the state's
bank regulatory agency and sen
tenced to 10 vcars. She still was

ments, including one charging em-

Restaurants,
Unions Agree
On Contracts
After negotiating since Novem
ber of 1955 Culinary Alliance Lo
cal 452 and the Salem Restaurant
Association today signed a two
year contract covering 15 union
houses in Salem and granting in
creases ranging from 10 cents per
hour to 37'i cents per hour in
some classifications.
The negotiation, the first since
1951. included a rewriting -of the
contract for the purpose of clari
fications, and aside from the in
creases one major gain for the
local was the inclusion of n rep
resentative clause allowing tne un
ion to organize on Ihe job, accord
ing to Anne Chambers, secretary
of the local.
During negoliations the local op
erators withdrew from the Asso
ciated Restaurants of Oregon to
form their own local association
with Del Milne of the Marion Ho
tel as president and Leonard Row
en as secretary. Assisting in ne
gotiations were Robert DeArmond
and Roy Harland, attorneys for
the association. The contract as
now signed by the association rep
resents the following houses:
Marion Hotel, Senator Hotel. The
Spa, The Pioneer Club, Marshall's
Inn, Cross' Coffee Cup. The Bnte
Spot, Cline's. The Malt Shop, Nohl
grens. The Rialto, Randall's Chuck

WASHINGTON lfl The Su

state "right-to-work" laws as they
apply to railroad workers. But Ihe
tribunal s unanimous decision left
intact state laws banning union
shops in other industries.
Justice Douglas delivered the
decision, upholding a 195'. amend

roads and labor unions to enter
into union shop agreements.
Justice Frankfurter wrote a con
curring opinion.
Under union shop agreements,

Eighteen stales have laws which

During argument of the case

UCLA Players

VICTORIA, B.C. Wl -The fac
ulty representative of UCLA de
clared all members of the school's
1955 freshman and varsity football
squads ineligible today but the Pa
cific Coast Conference ruled the
penalty too harsh and reinstated
the entire group.
The effect of the conference ac
tion is to cost all of the players
one year of eligibility but not
necessarily in the 1956 season.
The conference stipulated that
any football players who received
"substantial financial aid not per
mitted" by its athletic code shall
be charged with one year of var
sity football participation.
It was explained that Dr. Jo
seph Kaplan, UCLA's official con
ference representative, had no au
thority to place a time linr.' on
the ineligibility when he advised
the conference of his action he
could only say that he had de
clared the men ineligible.
The conference further stipulated
that any athlete who can prove he
had not received "such prohibited
aid" will not be subject to the pen

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It will be Gov. Elmo Smith
against Stale Sen. Robert D.
Holmes for governor of Oregon in
November.
Smith, a John Day publisher

President Eisenhower in winning
the Republican nomination Fri

state's 2,519 precincts. Eisen
hower got 221,471 write-in votes.
Holmes, who lives in Gearhart
and manages an Astoria radio
station, had tough going against
Lew Wallace in what was not
supposed even to be a contest.
Wallace, a veteran of state
campaign:., withdrew from the
Democratic primary shortly after
filing for governor because of
heart trouble. He urged his sup
porters to back Holmes.
100,102 to 106,374
But Wallace is a familiar name
and he drew 100,102 voles to 106,-

statewide ballot for the first time
and did very little campaigning.
Wallace said Saturday it devel
oped his heart was all right
There was some talk for awhile
that he might protest because his
name had been crossed out in
advance by some election offi

such plan. He said he was "flab

Planning Money Boost
Assures '57 Slart
On John Day
WASHINGTON UH Money to
start six new projects in Oregon
and Washington is included in a
128 million dollar water resource
development program recommend
ed Monday for those states by the
House Appropriations Committee.
The huge expenditure, fo Army
Engineers and the Bureau of Rec
lamation in the year beginning
July 1, includes increases over
administration budget requests to
complete planning on John Day
Lock and Dam and to step up
construction of the Ice Harbor
Dam.
John Day planning money was
increased from J500.000 tt J1.450,-
000 which would clear the way for
a start on construction next year
Recommended appropriations for
Ice Harbor were boosted from five
million to eigh' million.
Money for major dam construc
tion on the Columbia River and
its tributaries was approved as
budgeted with the exception of The
Dalles and McNary dams. The
Dalles was cut from $47,000,000
lo $42,457,000 and McNary from
$4,500,000 to $2,828,000. The Dalles
Dam money is still the largest,
however, for any single project
listed in the bill.
The committee said The Dalles
was one of several projects which
would share in more than 414 mil
lion dollars of savings and "slip
pages" schedule delays which re
duce anticipated expenditures. The
lowered figure (or The Dalles, it
was understood from committee
sources, comes about through de
ducting money from the budget
request which have previously
been borrowed from other proj
ects and were to have been re
paid. It is not expected to affect
construction schedules.
New starts proposed by the com
mittee include these navigation
and flood control projects:
