RUSSIAN PLANES ARRIVE SEATTLE Seattle, Sept. 8. (JP Flight plans of the Russian military mission which landed at Sand Point naval air station late yes terday remained almost as much of a mystery today as upon their surprise arrival In Alaska five days ago. Members of the mission were silent. Navy officials said they had no information, but unof ficial indications were that the 47 airmen and technicians would proceed eastward today to Spo kane, Wash., by transport plane, enroute to Washington. D. C. Seattle was approximately the 8.000th mile post on the flight from Moscow. The war department an nounced this week the Russians were coming on a purely techni cal mission to observe the American airplane production process. IMPOSElTFOR In what was said to be the first case of its kind filed here, Frank J. Brown, 20, Jackson ville, was fined $1.50 and 14.50 costs by Judge William R. Cole man In justice of the peace court yesterday afternoon on a state police charge of operating a car with unauthorized stickers on the windshield. Brown pleaded guilty. It was indicated that police planned to close In on owners of cars whose windshields and windows have become cluttered with stickers of one sort or another. There has been a grow ing conviction among the public that Secretary of State Earl Snell and local traffic safety councils should lose no further time in opening an educational campaign against the plastering of stickers over car windshields and windows that are Intended to be seen out of. It has been pointed out that the stickers nullify the accompnsnments oi automotive engineers who toil to increase the field of vision of car drivers for additional safety. Some of the stickers, it has also been pointed out, advertise the state's own Insti tutions of higher learning. Owen E. Davis, 25, U. S. army air post, here, was fined 85 and costs for passing a car with Insufficient clearance. Sam W. Steele, 33, 503 Clark street, was fined $2.50 and costs for over loading a truck. Edward W. Leeming. 28, Talent, was fined $1.50 and costs for having no license on a four-wheel truck. All pleaded guilty. BOYD'S fjij DIAL 30S1 108 N.

The burglar, police said, broke into the oil station by smashing a window on the north side of the building. Stolen from the station were two fishing rods and reels valued at $13.68, but these were both recovered later lying on the ground In the alley back of the Crater hotel, 30 south central avenue. A num ber of fish hooks, leaders, spin ners, flies and sinkers were taken out of a showcase In the station and piled on a stack of tires, but were not removed from the establishment, police said. The burglar, police stated, also attempted to break into five automobiles but was successful in entering only one. From the car of M. L. Leishman of Port land, parked on the hotel lot, the glasses were stolen. The prowler broke out the left win dow to enter the car. A machine owned by Herman Glazier of Portland, also on the hotel lot, suffered a smashed right front door window, and glass in the windows of cars reg istered to Victor Vehring and Carrol Phewthers, both of Klam ath Falls, was struck by a heavy object but not broken. Neither car was entered. Another machine, owned by Roy Entler of Roseburg and parked on the service station lot, suffered damage to the right front door but was not entered. Police said that a man carry ing a long bundle, apparently the fishing rods, was seen run ning through the alley between the hotel and Lewis Super Ser vice station about 1 a. m. this morning, and that the rods were discovered in the alley back of the Crater hotel a short time later. Police found two full bottles of beer, two Jackets and a sweater lying on the service sta tion lot.

Fir Protection The Dalles. Sept. 5 WV-The Dalles fire department will con tinue aiding rural areas until January 1, and then will restrict its fire-fighting to organized fire districts. ARMY OBJECTIVE Washington. Sept. 8. CP) The army, intent on developing its fighting punch, put another billion dollars' worth of combat equipment on its buying list to day and simultaneously began shifting field leadership to young hand-picked officers as tough physically as the men they command. Both steps, announced by Robert P. Patterson, undersecre tary of war, at his press confer ence yesterday, were expected to raise soldiers' moral to a higher pitch. The extra money, Patterson said, is needed for tanks, anti tank guns, and anti-aircraft weapons. The request will go soon to congress, which recently trimmed about $550,000,000 off a $1,300,000,000 request for ad ditional weapons which army men said would be needed for a force of 3,000,000 men. Patterson made it plain that neither then nor now did the department contemplate im mediate creation of a 3 000,000 man force. But the tanks and artillery pieces will require a long time to manufacture, should be ready when needed, and new plans call for a denser assign ment of such weapons among the prevent forces. The army's plans for re-vitalizing its growing forces call for replacement of about 5,000 of the older officers now on duty with troops with younger, more active men better able to with stand the rigors of modern war fare. The new age standards will affect about 500 regular army officers, roughly 20 per cent of the National Guard of ficers now on active duty, and a small number of reserves. The maximum age for major generals in command of divi sions was fixed at 62, brigadier generals at 60, colonels 55, lieut enant colonels 52, majors 47, captains 42, first lieutenants 35 and second lieutenants 30.
