her fliers shot down three Jup
anese aircraft which appeared In
till, skies after tho Japanese had
surrendered and had agreed to
ground their planes.
In between the first und tho

Material Lack
Delays Roads
SALEM, June 21 (P) Ore
gon's postwar highway program,
which wa scheduled to be in
full awing by now, I being de
layed by material shortages,
the state highway commission
aid today.
The program call for (pend
ing $12,000,000 a year for three
years, and $8,000,000 of the first
year's contracts have been
awarded.
But contractor are slow to
get started because of shortages
of cement, lumber and steel.
The commission said it Is hard
to get contractor to bid on
bridge and other structures be
cause the contractors don't
know what the lumber and steel
will cost them, and they don't
know when they can get deliv
ery on It.
Difficulty in hiring common
labor also Is a factor In the con
struction delay. One engineer
on a public work Job aaid "the
men who should be doing pick-and-shovel
work now think they
should be executive."
Pensions Cut
State Workers
SALEM, June 21 (AP) State
employes' take-home pay will be
less after July 1 in spite of the
$10 monthly salary Increase
granted two days ago, Floyd
Query, president of the Oregon
State Employe association, said
today.
The reason Is that the increase
will not equal the deductions
which will be made starting July
1 for the new state employe
retirement plan.
The deductions for men range
from 3.71 to 9.24 per cent, and
for women from 4.08 to 10.38 per
cent of their salaries. The amount
of deductions vary according to
age, with older employes paying
more into the retirement fund.
