In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS I APOLOGIZE, but the Fourth of July still has me going. There's the case of the Portland lad who suffered an eye injury WHEN A FIRECRACKER EXPLODED IN A BOTTLE. The trouble with firecrackers (now about as deep in the law's doghouse as it is possible to get) is that nobody ever would use them as they were intended to be used which was to make a joy ful noise at a safe distance. The way to use firecrackers is to buy a bunch of penny dread fuls, with the fuses all twisted to gether, touch a match to the place where the match is supposed to be touched, throw the bunch out into the middle of the street or some bare place with no dry grass around, stick your fingers in your ears and run like Billy-be-darned. Handled that way, they are practiclly as safe as a church. BUT who in America ever wanted to be safe? : If our ancestors had been of the safety-first breed, they'd never have come to this savage wilderness. They'd have stayed at home in the Old Country and put (Continued on Page Four) WOULD KILL NEGRO Dallas Lawyer Jailed After Asking To Pay Prisoner's Bond So He Could Kill Him DALLAS, Texas, July 9.

UP) The National Education Association slammed the gates yesterday against Communists in the teach ing profession. The association's annual con vention reaffirmed its ban against Communists by adopting a reso lution designed to bar them as teachers in the nation's schools and from NEA membership. It reserved for loyal teachers, however, the right to "think for themselves." The action was tak en at the convention's closing session. The vote on the Communist ban was about 2,995 to 5. It was taken over the warning of one delegate that the convention was settine up a "blacklist" which would "undermine" its dignity. Mrs. Rose Russell, legislative agent of the CIO Teachers Un ion of New York City, said she feared the teachers were estab lishing "an unAmerican doctrine of guilt by association." The communist issue was tne hottest of the convention attend ed by 3,000 delegates represent ing 825,000 teachers. Proposed loyalty oaths for teachers drew strong opposition from the department of class room teachers. They said such an oath, applying only to teach ers, would be discriminatory. The NEA reported that loyalty oaths for teachers are now re quired In 25 states but vary wide ly in form. Dr. Andrew N. Holt, 44, Nasn ville, Tenn., was elected presi dent of the association. St. Louis was chosen for the 1950 conven tion. Flames Damage Several Buildings At Beaverton BEAVERTON.

Perjury Tricl Jury Is Hung For 29 Hours Pecislon Reported 8-4 For Conviction; Hiss Glum After Long Wait NEW YORK, July 9. W The perjury trial of Alger Hist ended in a hung Jury last night, and the government promptly ordered a new trial. The jury, split eight to four in favor of a conviction,' was dismissed at 8:01 p. m. after near ly 29 hours of fruitless effort to reach an agreement Shortly thereafter, Attorney General Tom Clark announced In Washington: "The Department of Justice will vigorously prosecute the Hiss case again as quickly as the dock et of the court will permit." At the earliest, that probably would not be before next autumn. Murphy Gets Job A Justice Department spokes man here said that big, mus tached Thomas F. Murphy,, the assistant U. S. attorney who handled the prosecution, vill have the same job again when the case is retired. Hiss was continued in $5,000 bail.

He said he also will support the proposal expected to be sent to Congress as soon as the Senate completes action on the treaty next week to help pact signers rebuild military defens es. But the new Senator said he doesn't now believe that any $1,130,000,000 outlay, proposed for the first year, ought to be in volved. "The effect of the program Is largely psychological, he de clared. We cannot build up armies in Europe in less than five years that would stop a de termined aggressor. But we need to help strengthen some defenses in strategic places."
