(LP) Six month' target practice from a nearby attic by boys shooting unmolested at light bulbs and telephone insulators preceded the death of an expectant mother from a sniper's bullet, 16-year-old Erwin Flaster revealed Friday. Flaster admitted he fired the bullet that killed Mrs. Grace Giuliano, Wednesday night, as the four boys, two of them in high school, told police of the nocturnal sniping, Flaster fired the last shot immediately after which he heard a woman scream, he said.

The cries were from Mrs. Giuliano, whose back was pierced by the bullet as she was preparing to take a bath. With young Flaster in the attic of his home at the time, police said, were William Fieldman, 14, and Edwin Shaller, 22, both in West Orange. The fourth youth was Robert Blair, 18, who was not with the other youths Wednesday. Flaster finally detailed the shooting after five hours intensive questioning.

"We were shooting at a vacant house on the drive," he said. "Then we started firing at an electric light bulb on a flagpole. pulled the trigger, missed the bulb, heard some glass tinkle and then a woman screaming." Flaster will be accused formally Friday, probably of homicide. The others will be held as material witnesses.

LONG TUNNEL ON DRAIN ROAD NEAR FINISHING The longest highway tunnel in Oregon is now nearly completed, state highway engineers said Friday.

The new bore will not gO into use until next summer, however, as bridges on either end are vest yet finished and new road construction leading to the approaches is not surfaced for winter travel. The underground roadway is three miles west of Elkton on the Reedsport -Drain federal forest road. It is a cut mostly through of solid rock, entailing excavation of 18,760 cubic yards. The arching roof has a maximum clearance of 21 feet, width is 26 feet. Cost was $70,000.

Elimination of two miles of winding road having rise and fall of some 500 feet will result from the development, State Highway Engineer Roy Klein said. Originally the tunnel was started by the Southern Pacific railroad but construction discontinued when the company decided on another route.

C. and J. O. Nibley, Portland, Ore. In 1889, Mr.

Nibley was associated in organizing the Oregon Lumber company of Baker City, and a year company of which he became vice later the Sumpter Valley Railroad president. tine Afterwards he was president of Payette Valley railroad in Idaho and was one of the founders of the La Grande Sugar company of La Grande, Ore. After having served the Latter Day Saints church on missions and in minor offices he was named presiding bishop in 1907. In 1925 he was made second counsellor in the first presidency of the church. He was connected with many business enterprises here, as officer and director.

President Nibley contracted a slight cold the middle of last month. Complications and infirmities resulted in his death. Born in Huntersfield, near Edinburgh, Scotland, February 5, 1849, he had been a resident of this state since he was 11 years of age. Besides life long activities in behalf of the Latter Day Saints church, he was prominent in business affairs of this section. He is survived by two widows, Mrs.

Ellen Ricks Nibley of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Julia Budge Nibley of this city, by eight daughters, nine sons and 53 grandchildren. CHILDREN DIE OF SPANISH FLU Portland (LP)-Deaths of two children and illness of four others of a Newberg family, from a virulent type of streptococcus, resembling the fatal "Spanish flu" of 1918, was reported Friday. Both children, Robbie Daniels, 12, and Myron, 9, died in Portland hospitals after the entire six children had been rushed here from the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Roscoe Daniels of Newberg. The other four children, Howard, 11, Catharine, 10, Ilena, 5, and Ione, 3, were running temperatures Friday but thus far their cases do not seem so virulent as the other brothers' and their recovery is hoped for. The disease resembles that which recently caused the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Monte Austin of Portland, the illness of a doctor and two nurses who attended them and the death of an ambulance driver who took one of the victims to a hospital.

However, there was no direct contact between the Daniels family and any of the Portland victims. Dr. Frank R. Menne, pathologist at University of Oregon medical school, who performed autopsys on Robbie and Myron Daniels, said the disease is a fatal pneumonia, similar that of the 1918 epidemic. "The principal difference in the diseases," Dr.

Menne said, "is that in these present cases it has appeared in families and in widely separated localities. The 1918 epidemic was universal and struck everywhere." FIRM INCORPORATES FOR FARM BUSINESS That the Charles R. Archerd Implement company will be replaced by a similar concern when affairs of the receivership are wound up is indicated by filing with the county clerk articles of incorporation for the Salem Seed Implement company with a capitalization of $9,000 and Salem as its principal place of business. Incorporators are Walter H. Smith, L.

C. Matthes and George Bernhardt. Capital stock is divided into 90 shares of $100 par each. Walter H. Smith has been connected with the Archerd Implement company for many years.

He stated Friday that he expects the new concern may continue in business in the present location of the Archerd Implement company but says this is not certain and there are a number of matters to be straightened out before all of the plans of the new company may be divulged. REPORTS SALE OF FOSHAY PROPERTY Filing of a receiver's report and confirmation of sale with the county clerk Friday in the case of Anna Barbara Becke others against Foshay farms, incorporated, it is shown that farm lands under execution to Anna Barbara Becke and others plaintiffs for $23,203.34.

Rhoten, receiver, who conducted sales personal property chattels of the estate reported a balance of $974.74 in his hands. An attorney for one of the parties involved intimated steps might be taken to open up the proceedings as he stated that the report and order of confirmation were filed at the same time and that the report had not been of record prior to the filing of the confirmation and thus had not been available for examination. Belcrest Memorial 0651 Priced Phone Moderately Park A Park Cemetery with perpetual care Just ten minutes from the heart of town Street Lighting Costs To be Slashed $2725 To Reduce Deficit A recommendation from council reducing the expense about $2,723, and overcoming light budget, will be presented next council meeting, signed by the committee memberz. Aldermen F. L.

Wilkinson, S. A. Hughes and George Averett. The recommendation will be based on a proposal made by the Portland General Electric company in a letter dated December 10. The new schedule of rates reduces the rate for 250 candlepower lamps by 10 cents a month each, and will aggregate for these lamps about $750 a year.

Also, according to an agreement between the com- INVALID CHILD SEEKING BUGGY FOR HER DOLL Poor people generally are so busy trying to secure the bare necessities of life that they don't spend much time in longing for things not material to keeping body and soul together, but one little sick girl, years old, confided a secret desire' Friday to Mrs. Mae Carson, Associated Charities secreShe saw the food and clothing Mrs. Carson brought her mother, a widow with five children, and judged that here was one person who could help 8 little sick girl to attain her wish. "Please," she told the Charities secretary, "do you suppose you can find me a doll buggy?" She produced a well-worn rag doll. "My dolly has never had a ride in a doll buggy, and I'd just love to have a doll buggy to play with too.

Do you suppose anycue has an extra doll buggy they would let me have?" ande her eyes were very wistful. child is a semi-invalid, cannot play with other children very well and is forced to depend upon herself for her own entertainment. Mrs. Carson is looking for 150 to 200 one coffee cans, empty coffee cans, also. One interested woman has offered to make a plum pudding for every Christmas dinner that was sent out from the Associated Charities office, As her Christmas gift, provided that Mrs.

Carson could find containers for the puddings. So anyone having coffee cans will do a genuine service in seeing that the Charities office gets them. Toys of all kinds will be in demand during the next few weeks, for there are many, many children among the more than 150 families the Charities or office is caring for. And the number continue to mount up at the rate of three, four or five new families a day, to which the 24-hour emergency reliet is given while their cases are investigated. Donations received Thursday include $7.50 from Lee Abbe, $1 from the Spanish American War Veterans' auxiliary, and $8.24 from the street kettles.

Two Salem canneries donated canned fruit, one giving nine cases and the other 20 cases. AD CLUB TOLD OF BILLBOARD IDEAS Advertising, in its various phases, is the medium through which the manufacturer conducts his own confidence in the article producer to the ultimate consumer, declared Vernon Jenkins of Portland, representative of Foster and Kleiser. Friday in a talk before members of the Salem Ad club, at the he same time explaining that the further article gets from the manufacturer, the less confidence Jenkins divided advertising into two divisions- explanatory and reminder, placing especial emphasis on the latter. Outdoor advertising concerns have classfied the highways into two groups insofar as their business is concerned, Jenkins said, commercial and scenic. He declared his concern along with other national outdoor advertising agencies 13 working with women's clubs in an effort to regulate signs along the scenic highways.

Outdoor advertising has grown immensely, the speaker said, although admitting that it has dropped off from $95,000,000 in 1929 to approvimately $80,000,000 in 1930. Recruiting in the United States marine corps has been resumed, effective immediately, according to telegraphic word received Friday by Sgt. Mack Sherman, in charge of the local recruiting station in the postoffice bufding. The age limit for recruits has been fixed at 18 years minimum with a minimum height of five feet six inches. Sherman stated Friday that all men who have their names the waiting list here should get in touch with him at once, Marine corps recruiting has virtually been shut down since last June.

Sherman was unable to say how long he would be able to accept new men. Paul Lee, who recently underwent an operation at a local hospital, 1s convalescing at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. A.

MORTUARY Phone 5151-Church at Ferry St Clocgh Dr. Barrick I Golden BATTLE OPENS FOR CONTROL OF TRANSAMERICA the light committee of the city street lighting in Salem by deficit of that amount in the mittee and the company the latter will replace 69 lamps of 400 puower with lamps of 250 candlepower. This will effect a saving of $1573 a year, making a total net saving of approximately $2323.

This, however, would still leave a shortage of about $400 in the budget. But a way to meet this 1s found through deliberations between the and the company representatives. The proposed contracts call for operation of the 250 candle pother street lamps from dusk until dawn, This involves the operation of the lamps about 4000 hours a year. In pliance with a request of the committee, when weather and atmospheric conditions permit, the company will turn the lights on a little later in the evening and turn them off a little earlier in the morning than has been the practice in the past. It will credit the city's account for street lighting at the end of 1932 with a sum equal to one-half cent per lamp times the number of hours less than 4000 hours that the lamps have been operated during the year.

On the basis of the present approximately 620 lamps this saving will be $3.10 an hour. Hence if arrangements can be made to save approximately 130 hours of operation during the year the saving effected will equal the remaining deficit of about $400. The company states in its letter to the committee that it will be governed by instructions from the chief of police as to time of turning the lamps off and on, with the understanding that the total number of hours of operation during the year shall be reduced only enough to effect the necessary saying. As a further contribution to help the city keep within its budget the company, agrees to postdate the contract with the city to December 1 of this year, provided it is executed before the end of the year. The company reminds council that under one of the O'Hara revenue bills passed at the latest council meeting the company's annual license fee is increased from $500 to $2500 a year, an increase of $2000.

"This $2000 may in a way be looked upon as a still further reduction of the cost of city lighting of no small magnitude," says the CENT A MILE FOR XMAS ON RAILROADS Co-Incident with the announcement of the Southern Pacific company of special holiday fares to points north, south and east of Salem, comes the announcement of additional new rates by the Oregon Electric and affiliated lines, Friday. New cent mile rates effective only on Oregon Electric lines, were published earlier in the but these have been extended in the new tariff to include all Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah and Wyoming points, as well as British Columbia.

San Francisco (LP)-Money giants fought for a billion dollar prize Friday when executives of Transamerica corporation, the nation's largest company, accepted the challenge A. P. Giannini to a race for proxies to 25,000,000 shares of stock. stock in the one time 000,000,000 bank combine sank to 8 new all-time low. charges and -charges were hurled by the financiers opened 8 "battle to the death" which will culminate in an annual meeting next February 5.

Giannini, who founded Transamerica from a group of subsidiarles that grew out of his powerful Bank of Italy, emerged from one of his many "retirements" to lead the fight against Chairman Elisha Walker, sponsor of the corporation's widely discussed organization plan. The appeal of Chairman Walker and President James A. Bacigalupi for proxies to oppose "enemies of Transamerica" was the first break in silence they have maintained ever since Giannini announced his active intervention in the reorganization. The 64 year California financier, one of the pioneers of branch banking, retired from the board several months ago when the first Indications of a rift were apparent. Giannini's charges against the present Transamerica management were answered by Walker and Bacigalupt with accusations of their own against the Giannini regime.

They entered sweeping denial to allegations of mismanagement and then ordered the annual meeting moved ahead to February 15 so that "stockholders may determine whether they wish to support the present board or one chosen by Giannini and his associates." DEPRESSION LAID TO WAR Washington (A) -Wartime inflation was described Friday as the underlying cause of business troubles by Melvin A. Traylor, Chicago banker, who has been suggested for the democratic presidential nomination. Before the senate manufacturers' sub- committee considering proposals a national economic council, he said there was an inflation of credit in excess of $200,000,000,000, which started the world off with that much debt following the conflict. The jor portion of this burden, he said, fell on the United States. American exports were tremendous and production was further stimulated by consumer credit, Traylor said, and speculation was a tural consequence.

Traylor denied the world's economic troubles were caused by gold shortage. He asserted the foreign investment policy of American lenders was not well advised and was too liberal.
