Williams. appears that the theft was a highly organized Police and FBI agents refused to speculate on who may have been responsible for the theft. But authorities said they were investigating routinely the possibility that a terrorist or radical group may have been involved.

The firing pins were missing from the stolen weapons, the Army said, but police officials added that replacements could be obtained easily. A list of missing items issued by military authorities included thousands of rounds of ammunition, eighty 16 rifles, seventy M60 machine guns, eight M79 grenade launchers, one 45- caliber automatic and 15 bayonets. Ammunition taken from the armory Wednesday was listed as 3,360 rounds of 5.50-caliber bullets, 1,000 rounds of 7.58- caliber bullets, 45 rounds of 45- caliber shells, 40 grenades, 16 smoke grenades and 100 riot gas grenades They said 75 masks also were missing. An FBI agent said the quantity of weapons and ammunition could fully equip an Army combat company. Investigators said entry to the armory was through a side door and a vacuum drill was used to pierce the weapons vault, which an armory sergeant recalled locking at 10 a Wednesday.

Em ployment rose by 194.000 to 86 2 million persons. The administration had been braced tor a six per cent unemployment rate over the first half of the year Three drivers were cited and one hit-skip incident was reported to Salem jiolice in six traffic accidents in the last two days.

In Medina, the park and recreation director is paid $16,500 annually Mr.

Woods is paid $11,900 annually. In Medina, park maintenance personnel are Civil Service, with part-time help paid $2.50 an hour starting salary for equipment operators 'tractors, mowers, etc.) is $3.10, and beginning pay for groundskeepers is $3.40, all with increments upward In Salem, the maintenance foreman today is paid nearly 40 cents an hour less than a starting groundskeeper in Medina. And the system in Salem has to suffer from the low pay, which does not encourage a permanent, career-type position. Any operation undoubtedly loses hen there is a turnover in personnel, which limits the chances of continuity in a program. And workers have a tendency to view' low-paying jositionsas interim, looking for jetter-paying jobs, And who can blame a person for wanting to improve.

As far as administration goes. Woods met regularly with Metzdorf during the 10 months Metzdorf was maintenance foreman in 1973. They went over priorities lists, according to them, which included one from the Park Commission. Also, a priority list was set up for each park that crews had to follow. However, one parks maintenance worker complained at a Council meeting that equipment is faulty and inadequate.

Again, the need for money appears. MORE PEOPLE are using the parks system today; and more people create a bigger refuse problem which must be handled first, and which takes manpower. Furthermore, the problem of vandalism has grown in recent years, which necessitates manpower for repair and the purchase of ria Is. Since the announcement of Mr. dismissal, public support for him has come from Ihe Memorial Building staff, including Metzdorf, Dale Eastman who is present park maintenance foreman, and Mrs.

Fvie Allison, recreation director; from the Memorial Building Board, from the Salem Jaycees, from the Salem Lions Club, and from who knows how many individuals, as evidenced by the petition containing about 63 signatures which was sub nutted to City Council, This lias to be counted as evidence for a good job as an administrator Finally, it has to be pointed out that no one has complained publicly about the parks or ret teation programs which are the people And, administratively the man who holds the parks position must also tend to the recreation program, plus the Memorial Building itself.
