Sell From $8.95 0 ALBANY Council Backs Baughman, 5-1, In Bitter Row With Firemen (Continued From Pase One) district contracts are in force until June 30, 1951. Would Require Election Replying to Risdon, the mayor said definitely the council is without power to increase the budget and he said the budget committee had kept appropriations 6 per cent limitation because that to do otherwise would necessitate approval of the electorate, which been adverse at nearly all such elections elsewhere in western Oregon. "Does anyone think a tax increase would be voted?" Councilman Davis asked. There was no reply. To his suggestion that the situation at the fire hall, imposed by reduction of hours from 78 to 72 a week, might be relieved by procurement of two or three qualified truck drivers to do call night duty, Chief Hayne replied that such volunteer help could not be depended upon.

Calls For Open Discussion Risdon asserted that an adequate tire department is needed for safety of the city and declared bicker- "There has been too much internal ing. here and it is confusing to the public. 'All this controversy should be brought out into the open. Albany is being made the laughing stock of the entire state." "I don't want to 'go into personalities," said Risdon, "but something is wrong and that is no way to operate a fire department. If employes are dissatisfied you can't get efficiency." Mayor Savage interposed with the declaration that the whole thing reverted to lack of funds to finance the need at this time without increasing taxes, asserting that additional sources of revenue were repeatedly considered by the council but that it had as often faced the likelihood of public.

disapproval. Opposes Increased Burden "I pay high taxes and make other. contributions to the city, perhaps more than anyone else in the room," said the mayor, "and I'd be willing to pay more taxes but I don't want to load taxes on the poor sucker who can't pay." Councilman Barrett re-entered the discussion with the question, that the firemen are dissatisfied? We haven't cut their pay or their personnel. They have a fine new, well equipped building. Why is it that they can't put out fires any more?" To his notation that Corvallis has only 11 firemen while Albany has 13, Chief Hayne replied that Corvallis has less.

rural area to cover. He went on to say that he had numerous conferences with the city manager regarding solution of the help shortage problem but could reach no agreement. Demand Notes of Meeting Members of the department injected a demand that the minutes of an informal meeting held between firemen and councilmen Tuesday night be produced but were told. it was not a meeting of record and only notes were taken. Then Assistant Chief Burkhart demanded "Make the city manager tell what he said about Hayne being a liar," and he advanced with the resignations of the department in his hands.

Harry Pitts, a member of the audience, rose then and cried "This is the rottenest thing I' 'have ever seen firemen walking out because their chief has quit. Let's chip in and hire the two men if we have to. I've got $10 to give." Chief Hayne gave assurance that the city would not be left without fire protection. Discussions waxed more and more heated and Fireman Stanley Martin demanded that statements made Tuesday night about what might be kept in the fire hall ice box and about Chief Hayne overworking the volunteers be brought to the floor. Asks Specific.

Charges Councilman Don Densmoor demanded of the firemen specific statements of what is wrong but received only the reply that "the men have become confused and demoralized by this 'commando' form of government," as described by Fireman Leach, who said that HARRY'S MARKET "Where Quality Meats Are Sold for Less" PHONE 103 104 FOR FREE DELIVERY FRANKFURTS, SIRLOIN STEAK Bacon Squares, RED SALMON FANCY--Buy a Piece and We Will Slice It For You At No Extra Charge A Good Buy For Your Locker! HEADQUARTERS FOR THOSE FRESH KILLED CHICKENS! Reds Flanking Launch Drive (Continued From Page One) South Koreans were making an orderly withdrawal on the central front. In that region, the only natural advantages were the mountains and bad roads, which might be exploited to slow the Communist advance. The North Koreans had the choice of that route or a frontal push against the Kum river line. Poats reported from the battle zone: "If the Red invaders are slow, they will be too late, observers here believe. Every day brings more American tanks into action, and the balance may be shifted against the so far unstoppable North Korean army before it can get another offensive rolling." He said the Americans and South Koreans on the western end of the front were in their best detensive positions of the war, and could exact a bloody toll for any break through the river line, State Sets Up Warning System PORTLAND, July 13 (U.P.) A network of key point air raid warning stations was being established today as The Dalles, Pendieton, Eugene and Portland, Ore.

Louis E. Starr, director of Oregon's civil defense organization, said organization of the air raid warning system in the vital northern area of the state was in an advanced stage of planning and development. Elaborate 24-hour telephone circuits have been installed at the "key point" centers to receive air raid alerts from the air force's air security conter. The key points in turn will, in event of an air attack emergency, distribute the warnings to county seat cities and other communities -known as "sub-key points" -for general distribution to local civil defense authorities. "From there it is the responto spread the alert," city, Starr said.

sibility of each and county "The responsibility of the federal authorities, as far as the warnings are concerned, ends at the key point centers." Starr said the installations at The Dalles, Pendleton, Eugene and Portland will "cost considerable" but will not require construction of new buildings. $4,000 Valuation Placed On Fred Baker Estate Real property valued at $4,000 comprises the estate of Fred Oliver Baker, who died here on July 4, according to the petition of Sarah Louise Moore for appointment as executrix of the will.

(U.P)- Stocks began and ended today's session on rallies. Sandwiched between these recoveries which weren't sufficient to lift averages much it any, there were two selling sorties.

One came at 11 a.m. and it was touched off by margin selling, dumping of stock of investors who didn't "get up" more margin in response to calls sent out last night. The second selling move came late in the last hour. But when it failed to generate another rout, the market turned around. The auto shares, hard hit earlier, rallied substantially from their lows.

Some rails moved higher and few made net gains for the day. Chemicals produced several strong spots. And the recently weak televisions rose as much as points. During the course of the session, General Motors touched 761. off points and Chrysler made Printing upon returning from a month's leave he had observed a decided drop in morale of the department.

"He wants to take over everything," Leach remarked, alluding to the city manager. "I know what is wrong," said Councilman Densmoor, "You have been told to do all you can to get rid of the city manager form of government." He referred to the state firemen's association convention at Salem, attended by two delegates from the Albany department, which resolved against the city manager plan, with subsequent support of the Oregon AFL at its state meeting in La Grande. Risdon Replies This brought forth the rejoinder from Risdon that the unions are in favor of democratic and not dictatorial government. Verbal exchanges of like nature continued with George Wilson, asserting he spoke for all volunteers, declaring that "We won't go back as long as. Baughman is in office," and stating that he is also opposed to the city manager plan in general.

To Carl Stanley's suggestion that the health fund be diverted as had been proposed and that firemen be relieved of ambulance duty Councilman Davis said "that is the first constructive suggestion that has come out of this meeting." Requests Conference Chief. Hayne asked for a conference with a fact finding committee and the manager in a further effort to work out the tangle. The budget was finally passed, appropriating $362,280.29 for general expenditures, $54,690 of it for the fire department, an increase of $1,190 over the 1949-50 appropriation. The amount to be raised by taxation is $183,028.81. IOne-Way Traffic Plan Discussed (Continued From Page One) parking space is released by the grid is one of them, he added.

make the space more accessible. Albany's business center runs the risk of decline mainly because traffic problems are growing, he said. Some plan is needed to clear up the problem--and the one-way grid is on of them, he added. Lists Four Other Proposals Cleaver made three other suggestions that, he said, might help keep the business center growing. They include: 1-Zoning Ellsworth street as commercial from First street to highway 99.

Lyon street is already zoned, he said, and Ellsworth street property is in a commercial zone from First to Fifth avenues. The complete commercialization of these two thoroughfares, bridge between said, the downtown provide: and he would highway 99 trade centers. 2-Create a county zoning board with control over the fringe areas sO that immediate planning can be made on future entrances to the downtown Albany trade area. City zoning authority ends at the city limits- -thus no advance plans can made future city approaches involving property out of the city limits, he said. 3-Rezoning of an area east of Lyons street to permit construction of multiple-unit apartments.

Present zoning allows new apartments to be built only in commercial zones. He said the city should relax a law in some areas. City law forbids more than one family to be constructed in each 1,500 square feet of lot in areas classed as residential. By encouraging apartment house construction in the area east of Lyon street, Cleaver. said, more people could dwell within easy walking distance of the' business district.

Goode said at least four burglary would be filed against Macomber should he be returned to Albany. Macomber was the object of two-week search in the dense forests in eastern Linn county, but every time searching police got close he escaped. The exconvict lived in a cleverly camaflouged camp near Lebanon, found by police after he had abandoned it.

Stole Car Near Sweet Home Saturday, night Macomber broke into a cabin near Sweet Home, shaved off his beard and stole an automobile. Then he dropped from sight for several days. Macomber, while hiding out from police, slept by day and foraged for food at night. He was an excellent woodsman, police said. Macomber had a long prison record, most recently in Nevada where he was paroled in May after serving two years of a fitteen year sentence on two counts of burglary.

In 1938, when Macomber was 15 years old, he emptied a caliber pistol at a state police officer who had arrested him for stealing a car. The officer was wounded. He was subsequently sentenced to Woodburn training school. Three-Year Sentence In 1941 Macomber was sentenced to three years in the Oregon state prison after being convicted on a larceny count in Polk county. Police in Albany say Macomber also served a second larceny sentence.

Police have positively identified Macomber as an accomplice of Ted Nichols, 22, who is being held in the Linn county jail on a burglary charge. It was at the home of Nichols' mother that Macomber was shot night. Linn Deputy Sheriff George Miller left for Medford this atternoon to. question Macomber. Both Macomber and State Policeman Jack Hunton, wounded in the gun play, early this morning, were released later from a Medford hospital with minor injuries.

U.S. Casualties Fewer Than 500 89859 Ax (Continued From Page One) aggerated stories obtained from individuals wounded or mentally shocked have given a completely distorted and misrepresentative picture to the public, "Total American losses to the present time are less than 500, amounting to 42 killed, 190 wounded and 256 missing, Many' of the missing are undoubtedly men who, in the confusion of fighting, have lost touch with their own units and will eventually return. "Probably the most flagrant of these exaggerated reports dealt with the so-called "lost battalion" of the 34th infantry, which was reported as being completely whereas its actual losses amounted to only two killed, seven.

wounded and 12 missing. "America ground units in Korea are fighting one of the most skillful and heroic holding actions in history. Their excellent peacetime training is reflected in the combat record they are now compiling. They have been overwhelmingly outnumbered, in some instances more than 20 to one, and the casualties inflicted on the enemy have been immeasurably greater than those they have sustained. They have filled a breach without which North Korean forces would have, long ere this, completely overrun and destroyed South Korea.

This has provided time for the rapid movement of reinforcements forward, in exploitation to the fullest extent of the logistical capabilities at hand. Each day we reduce the enemy's superiority in numbers and weapons."
