them asked lor a road map.
. As he went to the rack and
reached for a map, one pulled a
gun on him and ordered, "Okay,
freeze. Don't move!" Ackerman
related. While the one held the
silver-plated pistol, another
moved to the cash register and
emptied it of the money. Before
they left, one jerked the receiver
loose from the phone and took it

period in 1955 was 19.675.
Division officials said the
months ahead, when vacation
travel is at its peak, may tell
the story as far as the state's
traffic record for the year Is
concerned.

Crop of Pigs
Shows Decline
WASHINGTON (UP)-Thc Ag
riculture Department today said
the 1955 spring pig crop totalled
:3,(m5.uou neau, a decline ot a per
cent from the spring of 1055.
This decline in pig production
is expected to mean higher prices
for good butcher hogs this fall.
A spring pig crop of 57,090,000
head in 1055 caused hog prices to
drop about 40 per cent last fall.
The department predicted a fall
pig crop o( 35 million head, down
8 per cent from the 1955 fall crop.
The department .estimated the
total spring and fall pig crop for
1956 would be B8,085,000 head,
down 8 per cent from the 05.604.-
000 head produced in the spring
imuiau crops insi year.
The department said (he num
ber of sows farrowing this spring
totalled 7,650.000 winch was also
8 per cent less than the 8,359.000
sows farrowing Inst spring. The
numner ot pigs saved per Inter
was 6.94, establishing a new rec
ord for spring farrowing and com
pares with 6.90 pigs per litter in
1955.

More Emphasis
On Reactors
Claimed Need
By RENNIE TAYLOR
Associated Preii Science Reporter
EUGENE W An all-out pro
gram for developing reactors for
atomic power to match the gov
ernment's emphasis on the atom
in foreign policy was advocated
Thursday by Dr. Henry DeWolf
Smyth, one of the architects of the
original uranium bomb.
Because of the costs and other
economic risks involved, private
enterprise probably will stick to
the few types of reactor design
that have come closest to proving
their efficiency, Dr. Smyth told
reporters.
This will leave several other
types undeveloped unless the gov
ernment undertakes a program to
test their worth fully, Dr. Smyth
said.
Experimentation with reactors of
radical design is the only way to
get the final word on which ones
are best suited to the world's vary
ing needs, the scientist added.
It will take full-sized reactors,
not just pilot plants or intermedi
ate sizes, to do this, he said. This
means units capable of producing
power in the 100,000 kilowatt
range.
Despite the far-flung atomic en
ergy operations in this country we
have only one reactor specifically
designed to produce power, Dr.
Smyth said. Jle referred to the
power unit in the submarine Nau
tilus. Another power reactor is un
der construction at Slupptngport,
ra., and others are in various
stages of design or discussion.
However, a vast pile of informa
tion about materials, heat produc
tion and the types of fuel elements
has accumulated. Reactor special
ists know pretty well what all
these will do. but nothing can be
learned about how expensive they
will be in power production until
they are built into reactors and
tested. Dr. Smyth said.
This country's position of world
leadership, its foreign policy and
its own future need for more pow
er all point to the advisibility of
putting this information to prac
tical test, the scientist said.
Dr. Smyth participated in the
initial work on the A-bomb and
wrote the famous official bonk do-!
scribing its development. He was!
a member of the Atomic Energy!
Commission for more than five
years but resigned in September,
19M, "for a variety of reasons,"
He now heads the board of scien
tific and engineering research at
Princeton University. He is vice
president of the American Physi
cal Society and came here to at
tend one of its meetings on the
I University of Oregon campus.

the dollar value of checks drawn
against the deposit accounts of
individuals and business firms.
Debits are regarded as good in
dicators of current business acti

Chocolate Seen
As Cause of
Typhoid Fever
DES MOINES, Iowa (UP)-A
recent increase in typhoid fever
in five Midwestern states may
have been caused by chocolate
candy, an Iowa health expert said
today.
Iowa has had 44 cases of the
disease this year, 16 more than at
the same time a year ago. Ten
other cases are being investigated.
One of the 44 patients died.
Dr. Ralph Heeren, Des Moines,
of the Iowa Public Health De
partment, said Northern Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Eastern
Nebraska have reported "about
the same marked increase since
Jan. 1.
Heeren said "it seemed like"
all of the Iowa typhoid fever pa
tients had eaten chocolate in some
form in recent months. Two of
them had not, including one el
derly woman who was a diabetic.
I don t want to pin chocolate
in too closely. Almost all of us
eat chocolate in some form,"
Heeren said. "But we haven't
ruled it out on the basis of one
case.
Heeren said all sorts of food
eaten raw" also are being con
sidered. He mentioned carrots,
lettuce, onions and "all salad
foods."
"It's awfully hard to trace be
cause the cases aren't related to
each other at all," Heeren said.

conduct Wednesday night, but the
charge was dropped Thursday

Enforcementof
'Alley Laws'
Salem motorists were remind
ed today that it is illegal to cross
downtown streets at the alley in
tersections. All alley exits have been post
ed with signs indicating whether
a left or right turn only may
be made, according to the one
way grid traffic, Chief of Police
Clyde A. Warren said.
Motorists have been ignoring
the city ordinance prohibiting
driving across the street from
one alley to another. The prac
tice is dangerous, especially on
the three- and four-lane streets,
Chief Warren said.
A few motorists have increas
ed the hazard by attempting to
use the alleys as streets to escape
the traffic lights, he said. Strict
er enforcement of the law is
planned, he stated.

a maximum of only 66 being reg
istered in Salem, followed bv a

Sunshine was pretty general in

Costs Assessed
Complaint In
Larceny Hearing
A charge of larceny was dis
missed in Marion county district
court Thursday and court costs
assessed against the complaining
witness.
Judge E. O. Stadtcr Jr., ruled
that "it appearing that the action
was brought without probable
cause," the charge against Jo
seph Working, 1805 Lee St., be
dismissed and that $5 court costs
De assessed against the com
plainant, Hugo R. Gallun, RL 4,
Box 105.
The action arose over Gallun's
complaint that Working had sto
len nine Edison batteries from
him. Testimony developed that
there was a matter of disputed
ownership involved, Judge Stad
ter said, and the case should
more properly have been a civil
suit to establish ownership.
