Salem, Oregon, Thursday, April 25, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Section 2 Page 6 Need for New YWCA Pool Told by Local Workers The prnnnsed pool for the YWCA is the answer to "family night" swimmers who like to do more than get wet. Gus Moore, , general secretary of the YMCA states the scheduled family nights at the YM pool are always crowded, and the facilities are used to capacity at all times. 'There is a definite need for another indoor pool in the Salem area, Mr. Mnore says. The YMCA swimming facilities are the only indoor accommoda tions for the entire Salem metro politan area of 90,000, including 14,000 school children. The total use of the YMCA pool In 1956 was 79,191 times, and dur ing the month of March, 1957, it was used 8,277 times. Mr. Moore, who has taught many men, women and children to swim, himself, said that the YMCA had never been able to give girls and women the. time they deserve. "I'll be very happy to see the YWCA get a pool," he said. "I'm sure the YW pool will stimulate a greater interest in swimming in the community and increase attendance in both oools." The new YWCA pool will be available not only fx family swimming but to organized groups as well, such as Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Willamette University. personnel, and state office work ers. The pool will also serve resi- dents in surrounding towns, where mere are no indoor swimming facilities. Profane Bird Left, Marital tiliss Ceased MIAMI, Fla.

May Have to Force Secrecy Halt By NEIL MacNEIL United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP)-A House Information subcommittee asked the nation's leading editors and publishers today for help in its fight against Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson's information orders. The action was the latest round in the subcommittee's long quar rel with Wilson over his depart ment's practices on release of in formation not involving national security. May Pass Legislation Subcommittee Chairman John E. Moss (D-Calif. said Congress may have to pass legislation spe cifically designed to curb Defense Department secrecy unless the de partment itself reverses what Moss called its current trend toward greater secrecy. He asked a picked list of edi tors and publishers for their ad vice and suggestions on what such legislation should contain. Wilson accused the subcommit tee Wednesday of undermining the constitutional separation -of powers" between Congress and the executive branch of govern ment. What drew Wilson's fire was an announcement by Moss and three other Democrats that they were sponsoring legislation to blast hole in the government's "paper curtain of secrecy." Moss cited Wilson as one official who has abused a "loophole" in existing laws to further restrict military information to Congress. Would Plug Loophole Moss said the proposed bill would plug this loophole as used by the Defense Department and other government agencies. Today, in his appeal for help from the editors and publishers, Moss suggested that specific legis lation aimed at the Defense De partment may be necessary. He sent the news executives copies of Wilson's most recent directives on how department officials should deal with releasing information to Congress and the press, In an accompanying note, Moss told the editors and publishers Wilson s directives raised a num ber of danger signals." He said they could have a "far - reaching effect on the people s right to in formation about the Defense Department.
