VA Wants
Dispensary
At Barracks
Plan Would Not Block
College Proposal,
Belief Here
Veterans administration has
requested authority to utilize
tho dispvnsiiry ut the Murine
Uarrucks plant for u ll)0-bcd
general medical hospital for vet
erans, It was leurned today.
It Is understood here that
this proposal is fur use of tho
hospital facility only at tho Bar
racks, and that this plan will
not Interfere with proposed
xtalo uso of the general plant
for a veterans' educational cen
ter. Tho two programs would
bo compatible, one official suld,
and presence of tho VA pro
gram on tho project might well
prove most helpful to tho state
In Its proposed activity there.
Request Bubmlttod
Tho VA bus submitted a re
quest to the federal bureau of
hospitalization for use of the
dispensary, which is a well
equipped fuclllty orlglmilly set
up as tho hospital feature of
the marine activity ut tho Bur
racks. It Is ready for immedi
ate use for the new purpose.
Opinion expressed In official
quarters here wus that uso of
tlio Hurracks dispensary for Im
mediate veterans hospital pur
poses will nut affect the an
nounced VA Intention to con
struct a veterans hospital at
Klamath Fulls. The dispensary
at tho Hurracks does not meet
tho fireproof specifications and
other requirements for n per
manent veterans hospiu.il, al
though such a hospital might
bo built on that site, making
uso of utilities and other facili
ties there.
It Is possible that if the stato
shares the Murine Hurracks
filant with the veterans ndmln
strution, mulfitcnunco and op
erations costs will be lightened
for the stale and It will havo
federal cooperation and help on
tho physical plant program that
It might not otherwise receive.
Visit Planned
Meanwhile, plans were on
foot for visits to Klnmuth Kails
Saturday of Governor Eurl
Snell, and some members of
both the stato higher education
board and the stato emergency
board, for a first-hand inspec
tion of the Barracks In connec
tion with Its possible use as an
educational center. Tho state
board of higher education tins
declared tha plan feasible from
tho standpoint of educational
irogram and physical set-up,
nit has said that new funds
will have to bo made available
if the operation Is attempted.
Emergency funds ore controlled
by the stato emergency board.

Walkout Remains
Deadlocked
By The Associated Press
Jonn L. Lewis today called a
meeting March 11 of the United
Mine Workers policy commit
tee the body which has author
ity to reopen the union's con
tract with soft coal operators
and transit workers voted to end
their 16-day walkout at Lancas
ter, Pa., which had snowballed
into a general AFL sympathy
strike call.
These were the day's major de
velopments along the labor front:
1. Lewis made no announce
ment of his intentions after a
day 'and a-half of conferences
with his district presidents. The
present UMWA contract expires
April 1 provided either side gives
notice to that effect within 30
days prior to that time.
2. Bus and trolley operators
at Lancaster ratified a union
management agreement which
they said provided a 12-cent an
hour wage increase. The strikers
originally had demanded 20
cents. . -
No Agreement
3. The CIO United Auto Work
ers in Detroit reported the union
was "as far apart as we were
10 days ago" in reaching agree
ment with the General Motors
corporation on the issues of
wages and promotion preference
on a seniority basis. . . ...
4. A power strike in the vital
Pittsburgh industrial area was
set for 12:01 a. m. February 25
but negotiations for a settlement
of a wage dispute will continue
until the deadline. ; The inde
pendent employes of the Du
quesne Light company conducted
a 19-hour work stoppage earlier
this month, affecting 1,500,000
consumers.
Union and management repre
sentatives reached an agreement
in Lancaster early today to end
the 16-day transit strike which
had seriously interfered with
business in the Pennsylvania
community of 60,000, but the
agreement was to be submitted
to the AFL union membership
for ratification.
Terms of the settlement in the
dispute involving wages and
other issues were not immediate
ly disclosed nor was it known
definitely when the 220 strikers,
trolley and bus workers of the
Conestoga Transportation com
pany, would return to work.
They struck on February 6 for
hourly wage increases of 20 cents
and 25 other demands.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (AP) President Truman laid
today he intended to back Edwin W. Pauley to the limit in hi
fight for confirmation at navy undersecretary.
The president told his news conference he usually backed
any man he was for, when asked whether the suggestion of
Senator Stewart (D-Tenn.) that Pauley should withdraw would
change his attitude.
A reporter, repeating a question that has been asked of
the president at two previous news -conferences, wanted to
know whether Mr. Truman intended to withdraw Pauley's
nomination. The president gave a flat no.
"Does that mean that Pauley will have your full support
if. ne insists on tigntmg it out"
a reporter pressed.

5000 Trucks
Idle In China
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (fP)
Brig. Gen. T. M. Osborne re
ported today there are 4000 to
5000 new trucks standing idle
in China, but disclaimed army
responsibility for them. . "
Osborne was asked by mem
bers of the house expenditures
committee about reports that
"miles, and miles" of surplus
trucks are being junked.
The officer, attached to head
quarters of the army service
forces, said the army had the
trucks sent to India for relay
to China over the Lido road.
The trucks were to be trans
ferred to China under lend-lease
procedure, he said, but this was
prevented when such transac

the war.
Faulty Indictment Josses
Arson Case Out Of Court
A faulty indictment yesterday
freed Alva W. Downs, former
city building inspector who for
six months has been in the coun
ty jail on a charge of arson.
Downs was released imme
diately after the case was thrown
out of court.
The trial against the former
Inspector started Wednesday
morning and two witnesses, D.
L. Mosier and Mrs. Mabel Shear
er, were put on the stand by the
prosecution before the noon re-
At 2 o'clock, when the jury re
turned to the box, R. F. McLar
en, Downs' attorney, informed
the court he had a motion to
present and the jury was ex
cused again.
McLaren then pointed out that
the indictment against his client,
as drawn up, did not conform to
the Oregon arson law code in
that nothing was said about the
house burning.
The indictment read: " , .
did then and there wilfully and
maliciously set fire in the day
time to the dwelling house of
another, to-wit, D. L. Mosier."
Two sections of the code were
cited by McLaren, who quoted
one. "that burning the house of
another is a crime" and the oth
er, "setting fire to a person's
own house and by result burning
the house of another,, is also the
crime of arson." - - -
But the indictment' against
Downs failed to say that Mo
sier's house burned arid did not
specifically charge Downs with
burning the house, McLaren
pointed out. He called for dis
missal of the case and Judge
David R. Vandenberg sustained
the motion. - It was also shown
that the indictment did not give
the location of the property sup
posedly ignited.
Downs was immediately " re
leased from the countv iail where
he has been held since August
11, 1945. v
