V lips rkT7 , liWMrnraJaiMaJ Interest Taken ; By Truman Assures Suitable Marker At Grave Of Noted Oregonian By CHARLES D. WATKINS AP Special Washington Service WASHINGTON, July l$-iP The kindly interest of the nation's chief executive and his friendship for a member of the Senate may lead 10 appropriate marking 01 the spot where one of Oregon's Civil War heroes died In battle. Last week, President Truman slipped quietly away from Blair House lor a trip to Leesburg, va., about 50 miles from the capital. There Edward Dickinson Ba ker, a Union army colonel and U.S. Senator from Oregon, was killed in the battle of Ball's Bluff when union forces were defeated b" the Confederate army on Oct. 22, 1861. Senator Morse (R-Ore) was the president's guest for the trip which was made without the us ual fanfare and escort of a presi dential sortie. The president drove his own car with the cus tomary secret service man In the back seat. And it was Gen. George C. Mar shall, former secretary of state, who guided Mr. Truman an J the Oregon Republican to the spot where Baker fell. All three climbed through barb ed wire, briars and bushes to un cover a small stone marker on the site. Baker had died leading his troops, who served under Gen. Charles P. Stone, in a charge up the steep sides of Ball's Bluff. His body, Senator Morse said, was brought to Washington and later taken to San Francisco where it was buried in Lone Mountain Cemetery. The prcslden. and benalor Morse agreed that the site where Baker fell should be better marked. Morse told a reporter a more colorful political figure than Ba ker has never served Oregon in the United States Senate and de clared few orators in the Senate have matched his eloquence. 222 W.

Baker served In the House as a representative from Illinois. He once dcleated Abraham Lincoln for the congressional nomination in the Springfield, 111., district but iosi tne election. He resigned from Congress to accept a commission as colonel in the American Army during the war wnn Mexico and again was elected to Congress for the 1849- 51 term. He declined reelection. Baker moved to California where he ran for the House and was defeated. He then moved to Oregon and In 1860 was chosen by me legislature as senator. ' During his service in the Sen ate he fought to uphold Lincoln's policies but while still a senator took a command as colonel in the Union Army. The battle of Ball's Bluff caus ed General Stone to be relieved of his command and the creation of a congressional committee to look into incidents of the war. After the president and Morse agreed that the site of Baker's death should be more approprl. ately marked, Morse said he would take it up with Oregon! ans. Morsa Tells Appreciation Morse wrote the president aft er the trip: ' "I want you to know that the highlight of my service in the senate was tne rare privilege and great pleasure I had last Sunday in being your guest on the trip to nan s biuii. "Although it was an occasion of great personal enjoyment for me, it was a particularly gracious thing for you to do because your interest in Edward Dickinson Ba ker means much to us in Oregon. "The fact that the President of the United States would take time out of his busy life to show in terest in and pay the respect to BaKers notable record, wnicn you did last Sunday, is a clear symbol of your devotion to the historical meanings of our sys tem: of representative govern ment., . "I am sure the people of Ore gon will show their gratitude for the interest you have expressed in this matter by seeing to it that an appropriate marker is placed on Ball's Bluff battlefield at the spot where Baker fell, mortally wounded. "Also I am sure they will want to have a plaque bearing appro priate information about Baker prepared for the base of his stat ue which now stands in the ro tunda of the capitol." "While Morse frequently dis agrees with the president's pro gram, he said a friendship ex ists between them that amounts to a deep personal fondness. Pinball, Highball Separated By Washington Order Don't overcook the vegetables to be added when you are making a slew; brown the meat first and cook until tender, then add the carrots." potato slices, celery, or other .vegetables at the last. lHWWetwisw',y ' mymmvtwwwmtmwwM- ft'W'iMWwwi' ywwww' with' ANY BEER from i ANYWHERE! i 1 JLS hires' SEATTLE, July 19. m The wall between the pinball and the highball in Washington state must be raised from four feet, four inches, to seven feet. The State Liquor Control board disclosed the elevating order Mon day, but operators of cocktail lounges indicated they Will ap-Deal. The board said the ruling is experimental. "We are trying to separate gam ine from drinking," said Clar ence LaFromboise, a board mem ber. He said the board feels a 52-inch partition over which even short-stuff drinkers and blink ers can peer back and forth to see who is a-tilt, does not amply wall off the games of skill and swill. When liquor-by-the-jigger first became legal in Washington, the board ruled gaming devices must be housed In a separate room. They later ruled for partition ing off gaming devices with a short wall. The latest modification, oper ators hold, will make it easier for minors to play the games. With the present midget fence, they point out, a minor is quick ly spotted from the bar, unless he is playing on his knees. Officers of the Washington State Spirituous Beverage associ ation will meet with the liquor board 4oday in Olympia to ap peal for a modification. Geo. W. Brown Succeeds Earl On C. I. O.
