The State Board of Control voted today to meet with the Capitol Planning com mission as soon as possible to decide on location of the new Labor and Industries building in the Capitol Mall. The commission was expected to recommend a site now occu pied by the First Presbyterian church which the state owns. The church probably would be destroyed to make way for the new building. The Labor and Industries building would complete the for mal section of the mall. If it was similar in appearance to the Public Service building, cost would be roughly three million dollars. Method of financing the struc ture will be decided on definite ly after some detail work by Fi nance Director John Richardson. In other business, the board reappointed Walter Foster and Mrs. Emery Ingham to the train ing school advisory committee. The board decided to locate a laundry at the new intermedi ate penal institution here which could handle laundry also for the F. H. Dammasch Mental hos pital near .Wilsonville. The state now has laundries at the penitentiary, Fairview home and MacLaren school near Woodburn. The penitentiary laundry does the work for the state hospital and TB hospital., A request from the Oregon State Labor . council for a re statement of policy relative to employee membership in organi zations and handling of griev ances was referred to the Civil Service commission for study. Polio Shots Scheduled For Police Department Approximately 35 employees of the city police department and their families will be given po .lio vaccine shots by Dr. A. Erin 'Merkel, Jackson county public ; health officer, starting Thurs day. , The program is strictly vol untary with each person paying for the cost of the vaccine, it was explained. The first shots of the series will be given in the Jackson county public health of- fice. MOUSE CASUALTY Wauby. S-D. IB Frank Lewandowski took a swing at a mouse with a stick. The stick broke and a piece of it pierced his eye. Inventor of Radar Finally Gets Patent Washington OP) The man primarily responsible for devel opment of radar, vital national defense device, finally has won a patent on his discovery, the Army announced today. He is Col. William R. Blair, Fair Haven, N. J., a retired Sig nal Corps scientist. Blair con ceived the Idea "prior to 1930," the Army said, and has had a "basic and fundamental" patent application pending since June, 1945. Radar is a pulse-echo system in which a transmitter sends out electrical impulses which bounce The Army revealed that a workable set was demonstrated to the War Department and to members of Congress in early 1937. Manufacturers later began turning out radar equipment for the Army. It said Blair' patent application was not filed until 1945 because of the secrecy sur rounding radar in World War II. The government uses radar under a patent free license but Blair apparently stands to make millions in its application to peaceful purposes. Vandals Gaffing Fish At Savage Rapids Grants Pass IW Cole Rivers, fishery agent for the State Game commission here, said today that vandals were making serious in roads in the Chinook salmon runs on the Rogue river at Sav age Rapids dam. Rivers said vandals had been gaffing salmon right out of the fish ladders at the dam'. On a single raid recently, he said, 20 big Chinooks were jabbed and killed with a pike pole. There was no estimate of how many fish had been sacked up and hauled away. Rivers estimated that if the salmon killed in that one in stance of vandalism had been allowed upriver to spawn they would have produced 30,000 offspring. Fad and Use Classified Ad, Th Low Cost Way to Sell Firms Indicate No Immediate Plans To Shut Operations Portland (Ifl Firms affected by an order cutting off interrup- tible power supplies Aug. 31 un til water conditions improve on the Columbia river indicated to day they liad no immediate plans to shut down their operations. Many said they would use power from other sources, in cluding provisional power from Hungry Horse dam. The firms must guarantee replacement of this power if the weather pic ture does not improve. - Bonneville Power administra tion said the interruptible pow er cutback was necessary be cause of low water on the Co lumbia. Provisional Power H. W. Shoemaker, general manager of the Reynolds alumi num plant at Troutdale, said BPA had advised that provision al power would be available in sufficient quantity to replace the interruptible supply for part of September. He admitted "we are taking a calculated risk" but that it was hoped the weather situation would improve in Sep tember. A spokesman for Aluminum Company of America said the firm first wanted a clarification of the order. He said that unless provisional power were used to make up the loss, cutting of in terruptible power would shut down about one-third of Alcoa's operations. Manager Thomas Water of Pa cific Carbide and Alloys said his firm probably would use provisional power from Hungry Horse. Glen More, production manager of Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing company, said his firm had other power sources and would not lay off any em ployes. Elmer Howard, manager of Carborundum company, said the plant's new addition, opened in March, would shut down when interruptible power is cut, mean ing layoff of about 10 men. : Local Woman Takes Gladiolus Awards With 11 blue ribbons and two purple ribbon awards, as well as lesser awards, Mrs. L. G. Gent ner of 22 South Groveland ave., was sweepstakes winner in the 1957 Pacific International Glad iolus show at Grants Pass last week end. Mrs. Gentner won the trophy for the best corsage, using Gold Bank gladiolus grown by Paul Brandon, Grants Pass; the award for the best corsage, using an unnamed seedling gladiolus de veloped by R. H. Pruitt, Grants Pass, and the non-commercial sweepstakes trophy. Among the judges were Mrs. John Holmer, Old Stage road, and Mrs. Gaston Floux, Central Point. They judged corsages, baskets and arrangements. This week end Mrs. Gentner will judge the flower show held in connection with the annual Del Norte county fair at Cres cent City, Calif. This is one of California's largest shows, with more than 200 classes of all types of flowers to be judged. It is expected that the judging will continue from Friday morn ing through Sunday morning. Mr. Gentner will accompany his wife to Crescent City and will go deep sea fishing with Aubrey and Carl Norris of Medford. Committee Postpones Action on Aid Money Washington (IP) The Senate Appropriations committee today postponed action on President Eisenhower's foreign aid money request. It asked the adminis tration for more detailed infor mation. The action came at a one hour and 15 minute closed-door ses sion where the President's sup porters planned to put back most of the 809 million dollars cut out of the $3,367,800,000 program by the House last week. Just before the committee met, Eisenhower appealed to Republican leaders at a White House conference to support him in his fight for a full scale mutual security program. But his party leaders held out hope of restoring only part of the whopping House cut. PUNCTUATION Detroit iff! County Treas urer Harold Stoll sent out a property tax bulletin listing the the county tax for Detroit as S7,353 per $1,000 assessed valu ation. His bulletin caused some consternation until another bul letin was issued, replacing the comma with a period. Husbands! Wives!

Birth Certificate Not Necessary for Social Security No one need fear that the lack of a birth certificate will keep him from collecting social secu rity benefits, W. V. Nusbaum, manager of the Medford social security office, announced to day. Although social .security of fices have suggested that appli cants for social security benefits bring any available evidence of their age with them, this sugges tion has been made only to speed the payment of their claims for benefits and save them additional trips, he point ed out. A person of retirement age who does not have any docu mentary evidence of his date of birth need not delay applying for his social security benefits. His local social security office will give him advice on how to get proof that he has reached the required age. Worry Unnecessarily "Many people," Nusbaum said, "wdrry unnecessarily because they do not have an official birth certificate issued at the time of their birth. While a birth certificate is the best evi dence of age, other evidence is acceptable and can be used as proof of age when a birth certi ficate is not available." Nusbaum pointed out that a certificate of baptism is also good evidence as to date of birth and so is a Bible which the births in a family were recorded at the times they occurred. If the applicant was born abroad, he may have a naturalization certificate. There may be an old hospital record showing his age at the time he was hospitalized, or a military record if he was ever in the armed services, Nus baum said. The applicant may also have a school diploma or a report card. While these would not show the age, a letter to the school might procure an answer showing the age or date of birth as shown in the school records: An old life insurance policy whether or not it's still in force, may show the applicant's age at the time the policy was issued. There are numerous other rec ords which, in the absence of a birth certificate, will serve as well as those mentioned to establish age when an applica tion for social security benefits is filed. "No one," Nusbaum said, "will be turned away from a social security office because he does not have documentary proof of his age. As long as the person is interested in locating reliable evidence of his age, his social security office will help him and keep his application open."

Cheatham Says Tax Structure 'Stinks' Portland (IB Owen R. Cheat ham, president of the only Portland-based firm that is listed as one 'of the nation's 500 biggest corporations, said here Monday night that Oregon's tax structure "stinks," but he predicted a re vival for the lagging lumber in dustry anyway. Cheatham, president of the Georgia-Pacific Lumber corpor ation, commented at a news con ference that "Oregon's tax struc ture is so bad eventually it will have to be changed. It's the worst in the United States." It definitely is a handicap to eco nomic growth, he said. ' Cheatham added that Georgia Pacific is in Oregon "because the timber is here." He predict ed that the new FHA down pay ment requirements should boost new housing starts back above one million next year and he expects the 1955 boom to return by 1959. Despite general lethargy in other sections of the industry, Georgia Pacific last year report ed increased sales and profits and Cheatham expects sales of 150 million dollars this year. He said the firm's planned ex- Midnight, Miss. im H takes exactly 18 minutes by automobile to get from here to Daybreak Plantation near Bel zoni.

"With competition at the high est peak in food store history, retailers must avail themselves of every promotional weapon to maintain sales volume," the resolution said.
