McKIN LEY, June 22 VP) The worst weather since the arrival of the atomic test fleet at Bikini to day forced postponement of the scheduled full dress rehearsal for the dropping of the world's fourth atomic bomb. Admiral William P. Blandy, test force commander, and his staff set the test over 'until Monday after meteorologists had predicted heavy cloud cov er and high winds through Sun day. Weather prospects for the final practice drop Monday were reported as fairly good. All but a handful of the more than 100 supporting ships of the fleet already had lifted an chor and were cruising on the open Pacific when the post ponement was announced. Some of the fleet will return tomor row but others will remain out side the atoll until the rehear sal is finished. Favorable cloud conditions are necessary for the dress re hearsal because an explosive bomb will be dropped over the target fleet, it was explained. Maj. Gen. William E. Kep mer, commander of the army's 'atomic test operations, an Inounced that Maj. Woodrow P. Swancutts B-29 crew definitely Jiad been assigned to drop the World's fourth atomic bomb. jSalem Plans iState Fair ' I SALEM, June 22 (P) State Jfair time, an emergency cas ualty for five years in Oregon, will be back next Labor Day with one of the state's most ex- ttpnsivo fairs in years. . .

Commercial Arts Building 233 So. 11th phone 71o4 because of the great variance in- the value of money among the world's nations. Ship owners representing 15 nations Joined in a bloc behind this line of reasoning as the minimum wage proposal stumbled in the wage and hour committee of the world mari time conference. Hutchinson, a workers dele gate, added that a "minimum scale" of some sort must be agreed upon, however, to avoid a possibility that an avaricious ship owner in a low-pay nation might exploit his workers. "It must be recognized, said Richard Snodden, British ship owner delegate, "that seamen's wages depend in the main upon the cost and standard of living in their respective countries and are related to the general level of wages in the shore industries of the country concerned." Even as this opposition arose to the $H4 minimum wage now before the conference, Morris Weisberger of New York pro posed that going wages of American seamen be adopted as the international wage mini mum. He is New York agent for the AFL-Sailors Union of the Pacific and American sub stitute delegate. Housing Lack Seen For 1947 PORTLAND. Ore.. June 22 (IP) The housing shortage still will be acute by 1947, even if the government program lives up to expectations, Norton Long, assistant national housing ad ministrator, told mayors of wes tern cities meeting at Timberllne lodge. He reported the program to build 2,700,000 housing units In 1946-47 is Drogressing, but is behind schedule. The mayors, attending the western conference of the Ameri can Municipal association, ex pressed fear that hastily erect ed temporary housing may turn into ought areas, a lew years hence. Mayor William Devin of Se attle urged better coordination between federal agencies. He said people cannot understand wny they can't get housing ma terials yet Seattle warehouses are reputed to be bulging with them. Naval warehouses are full of nails, he said. He asserted 1,000.000 pounds of metal need ed on the Pacific coast was sent from Camp Farragut, Idaho, to tne east. Another mavor. Earl J. Glade of Salt Lake Citv. said his citv jreierrea aoing the job under ocal control to obtaining nublie housing projects, scarcities of lumber, glass and pipe are de laying wont, ne reported. Salem Area In Need Of Cherry Pickers SALEM. June 22 (VP) Faced with a definite picker shortage, approximately 120 cherry or chards in the Salem area began picking operations here Satur day morning. Picking was three to four days earlier than previously an-1 ticipated due to extremely hot weather earlier this week.

Cm to betlowa Milky Clouds Hover Over The first Portuguese naviga tors to sail their sturdy little ships around the African Cape of Uood Hope told stories o( two faint, white clouds always pres ent in an otherwise clear sky over the southern areas. These so-called "Cape Clouds" were reported in English to resemble detached portions of the "Mylke Whyte Waye." although at a considerable distance from this sky-encircling band. Later, another Portuguese, credited with the first circum navigation of the earth (1519 22), gave his name permanently to both a terrestrial waterway and to these celestial "mists." The inland passage north of Cape Horn, through which his ships for 38 days dangerously wound their way, is known as the Strait of Magellan; and the "Cape Clouds," so well de-. scribed by the fleet's historian. Pigafetta, now bear the name of Clouds of Magellan, or Magel lanic Clouds. These celestial clouds are con stantly below the southern hori zon for all observers above 20 degrees north latitude. The larger cloud covers a sky area comparable to that of the bowl of the well-known Big Dipper. The other appears about half as wide. Like the Milky Way, the smaller object is entirely obliterated by strong moonlight, but the larger remains faintly visible. Large telescopes in southern latitudes show that these cloudy spots are vast assemblages of stars, thousands of them, so far away that they are outside our star-system, or galaxy. The Magellanic Clouds are some times referred to as satellites of MOOSE DANCE! for MEMBERS and GUESTS SATURDAY NIGHT JUNE 22 Make EVERY Day Memorial Day When we leaf back through the Book of Time, and our fondest memories linger on the one in our heart who sought the trail of everlasting peace and contentment, we cannot help but rejoice in the lasting impression occasioned by-an EVERLASTING MONUMENT of Dignity and Security.
