Attendance for all recreation activities during the 1956 season amounted to 268,590, 37,408 above the previous year, the report stat ed. Swimming was the most popu lar activity with 93,369 participat ing at the two pools. Speaking of the pools, Gilmore said "the limited funds for opera tion and maintenance of the pools is not sufficient to make any of the much-needed repairs that are necessary for operation next year.. More adequate equipment and modern bathhouses should be planned for the near future." The present pools, constructed in 1934, are considered sound but the bathhouses, drains, plumbing, circulation systems and pool decks arc in need of major repair or replacement, the report says. Temporary circulation lines to the pools were installed in July to cut down on the loss of water through worn-out and corroded lines under the pool decks. Tem porary four-inch lines were laid above the decks and discharged water directly into the pool at one place only, the report explains. It is noted that permission to operate in . this manner was grant ed by the stale board of health for this summer only. Timber foundations of the bath houses are almost completely rot ted away and will hold for only one or two years at most, it is re ported. The decks of the bath houses have settled and cracked in many places making draining and sanitation a serious problem.

(Capital Journal Photo) -, $500,000 City Sewer Expansion Approved East Side Line to Get Priority in 6-Year Plan By DOUGLAS SEYMOUR Capital' Journal Writer A $50,000 trunk sewer line to serve the cast side of the city was given top priority as the city coun cil Tuesday approved a six-year program costing over half a mil lion dollars' to expand the city's sewage facilities. The project k planned next yean When completed the ' project would make sewer lines available to virtually every section of. Sa lem. Cost of new trunk sewer line's, to be financed by recently-increased sewer rentals, would total $338, 500, City Engineer J. H. Davis estimated, while an addition to the sewer treatment plant would cost an additional $200,000. No means of financing the treatment plant was given. New Trunk Lines Planned In addition to the new trunk line to serve the cast side of the city, new trunk lines arc planned for the Laurel Springs, Lowcn Heights and Glen Creek areas. Reconstruction is planned of the Cross street line from 16th to 25th streets and the Jefferson, Belmont and Market street lines.

As to the policy of the office Miss Bratzel said she hoped to do a good job as an attorney. "I realize that I am in some thing of an unusual position," the future district attorney remarked. However, she indicated that she had no desire to take the spotlight as the first woman D.A. in the county's history. "I hope to handle the job in a capable manner, and trust everybody concerned will look upon me as they would any other public official." Miss Bralzel gave no hint as to whether she would retain the pres ent force of deputies or would bring in a new group. State Senator Harry Boivan of Klamath Falls were on the tele phone Tuesday night urging him lo get in the race. It was pointed out that Boivan not only had ex perience in the senate but served one term as speaker of the house. Pearson was a house member in ihe 1355 session, and previously ; served a term in the senate A Democratic caucus is said to be scheduled in Portland next Sat urday, but whether the caucus will include all Democratic senators or only a portion of them could not be ascertained.

Warren Mc- Mimmec, Tillamook Republican who was defeated for re-election, filed application for a recount Wednesday with Secretary of Stale tan t. iNewbry. Such applications automatically are granlcd when accompanied by sufficient money to cover the cost. McMinimcc was defeated by Andrew J. Naterlin, Newport Democrat, in the district compris ing Lincoln and Tillamook coun ties. The vote was 8.836 to 8,714, a margin of 122 votes for Naterlin. The supporters paid $800 for the recount. If McMinimcc should win, they would get their money back. Since the new Senate now would contain 15 Republicans and 15 Democrats, a McMinimcc victory would give the Republicans a 16 14 edge. . Two other defeated candidates also asked for recounts Wednes day. They will get them. They are: Stan - Skoko, Clackamas County commissioner who was defeated as tho Democratic candidate for county judge. C. E. Lalourctte, Republican, beat him 22,315 to 22,253.

Deadlocks Sidetrack UN Force Anxious Sessions Held in World Capitals LONDON (UP)- The Egyptian government has asked Russia to dispatch "volunteer" forces to Egypt immediately, a Moscow dis patch reported today. It was a grnve, new develop ment in the Mideast crisis and took on added significance because the brief Moscow dispatch cleared the strict Moscow censorship. The dispatch was attributed to Arab sources in Moscow. The Middle .East was the sub ject of anxious conferences in London, Paris, Washington and the United Nations. In Washington, President Eisen hower pledged continues U. b. support of the United Nations and said the United States would con tinue, through the United Nations, to oppose the introduction of any new forces in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, French. British and Israeli troops faced Egyptians in the Port Said area of tho Suez Canal Zone and in the Sinai Desert within, rifle shot of each other un der an uneasy -censo fire. The Arab sources in Moscow said the Egyptian request for iaV- untcers had been made through me Egyptian Embassy. Such a move removed it from the category of a general broad cast appeal for volunteers to aid Egypt and made it a formal aclion between governments. It was un der the guise of a formal request from tho puppet government in Hungary lhat Rusian troops movea in to crush the revolt (here. Ballle-lcsled Troops r If such a formal request has been made, it Is in line with previous threats' by Soviet Prem ier Nikolai Bulganin to send battle- teslcd Soviet airmen, lank experts and officers to the Mideast unless Israeli, French and British forces withdraw from Egypt.

Rhee, in a statement Issued through the government Informa tion office, said "several bombs" had been exploded recently In North Korea and there is danger of "drastic steps" by Russia to hold on to Ihe satellite. Rhee did not say what kind of bombs were exploded.

He said he intends to -work during tho next four years indus triously and incessantly lo sell his concept of modern Republicanism. 3. Although the voters decided to continuo a split government, Mr. Eisenhower regarded his own reelection as a mandate for his basic policies. To think otherwise, he said, would be to arrogate to himself unthinkable personal mag netism. 4. He agreed emphatically that steps must be taken to check the rise in the cost of living. He said he hopes business, labor and all elements of tho American econ omy will cooperate with the gov ernment in achieving an cconomid balance to prevent inflation.
