Ceremonies--
Sea-Going Fortress
Can Carry Any
Naval Plane
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. to
The Navy's mightiest carrier, the
60.000-ton Ranger, was launched
Saturday in Hampton Roads
a sea-going fortress "capable of
carrying the most modern type
of naval aircraft now in existence
or on the drawing boards."
Adm. Arleigh A. 3urke, chief
of naval operations, said in a pre
, pared speech the Ranger "can
penetrate the defenses of any ag
gressor regardless of what kind
of a war he chooses to fight or
what kind of weapons he chooses
to employ."
The Ranger, third of the For-rcstal-class
carriers, received her
traditional champagne bath from
Mrs. Arthur W. Radford, wife of
the chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. Navy Secretary Charles
S. Thomas also was on hand for
the ceremony.
"The Ranger and her new
breed of aircraft," Burke said,
"will provide our country with an
extremely versatile weapon. One
of her new aircraft the A3D
Skywarrior can carry more de
structive power than all the Ran
gers of the past two centuries.
Another of her' new aircraft
the F8U Crusader will fly near
ly twice the speed of sound
better than .1,000 miles per hour
about four times the speed of
her predecessor's aircraft.
Burke said the Ranger "can
take a great deal of damage and
t fight back."
NewS35 Million
Surplus Forecast
Surplus funds at the end of the
current biennium may run to M5
million instead of the $30 million
previously estimated, according to
the State Tax Commission.
Tax commissioners said the pre
diction was based on a continu
ance of current business conditions
which have raised state gains
from personal income and corpor
ate excise taxes.
About $8 million of the estimated
surplus was carried over from the
last biennium. The current bien
nium ends June 30, 1M7.

20 Testify in
Silverton Wild
Party Incident
Twenty witnesses testified before
the Marion county grand jury Fri
day in its ' investigation into re
ported wild parties in the Silverton
area. Another dozen were slated
to be called Monday to testify.
A sidelight of the hearing was
another "party" that started in a
room where subpoenaed witnesses
apparently became bored with
waiting to be called to testify. The
group, comprised mainly of Silver
ton area boys and girls along with
a few adults, became so noisy
in its playing that a deputy sheriff
was called by someone else in the
building to quell the disturbance.

Deer Killed at 7
A noontime check of 20 Salem
area lockers turned up only one
deer, killed by Claude Lewis,
2147 North 4th St., about 7 a.m.
Saturday. Last year during the
first day, there were some 100
deer in city lockers. Two years
ago, the initial kill in this area
was nearly 200.
' Reports from the Mchama area

indicated heavy traffic most of
the day Friday and through most
of the night. Virtually all were

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Adlai Stevenson and President
Eisenhower apparently will speak
in Portland next month within
eight days of each other.
Democrats have booked the
auditorium for the following night,
Oct. 19 to hold a. birthday party
for Sen, Wayne Morse, seeking
re-election as a Democrat. Dave
Epps of Lebanon, who Is in charge
of the affair, said it "will be Ihe
biggest birthday party Oregon
ever had." The senator's 56th
birthday anniversary actually
falls on Oct. 20.
Douglas McKay, Morse's Repub
lican opponent, campaigned in
Columbia County Friday. He told
a St. Helens High School audience
of his early boyhood in the region
and urged the pupils to "learn all
you can of the American philos
ophy of government."
Republican Slate Chairman
Wendell Wyatt accused Morse ol
"flagrant waste of taxpayers'
money." He said that Oregon was
being "subjected to the greatest
Hood of political propaganda in
the state's history and the largest
amount of it is being mailed under
Morse's free frank."
Two physicians, Dr. Howard C.
Stearns ot Portland and Dr. Frank
