3. Declared that the country
needs a "real, honest free press"
worse than anything In the world.
4. Said that in these critical
days of an uneasy peace, "It Is
dangerous to try to go back" to
the 1890 isolationist attitude and
that the country must "catch up
with the moral spirit that will
match the material In which wo
live."
Stands By Pudges
The chief executive declared
that his party will battle on for
enactment of its 1948 platform
pledges.
"Now, I havi told the Congress
and the leaders in the Congress
that we are going to fight It out
on that basis if it takes all sum
mer and winter, and all next
summer," he said.

Mr. Truman came through with
this comment on Barkley, who
earlier addressed the celebrants
as "fellow Mlssourians."
"We are glad we are very
glad that we have managed to
get our distinguished vine-president
to visit a place in Missouri
ouhilde of St. Louis. The vice
president Is a grand man, and I
am proud that he is my friend
and counsellor, and I also am ex
ceeding glad that he is about to
become a citizen of Missouri."
Barkley's daughter, Mrs. Max
O. Tniitt, scoffed at the idea that
Mr. Truman's remarks, or those
of the vice-president, had any
serious significance Insofar as
marriage wa concerned.

where an estimated 3.V) tons of
pineapple slipped In last Tues
day. Teamsters drove some of
the trucks moving the fruit In
land. The unloading was made
there on a privately owned dock,
guarded by private employes.
That led, however, to violence
In Portland yesterday. Long
shoremen caught up with two
non-union pineapple driven from
Tillamook and mauled them
slightly before police arrived.
Still to be settled are two court
suits here. One is a request by
the Hawaiian Pineapple com-
Eany for an injunction against
ongshoremen's picketing.
The other is a $40,000 damage
suit filed by the company after
the Longshoremen's dock raU.
It asks $0.00 for damage to equip
ment. $10,000 for lost time and
$25,000 punitive damages against
the Longshore union apd its key
officials.
In addition there may be as

McKay Spurs Action
Squads of slate police, armri
with riot guns and bayonets, pa
trolled the waterfront here yes
terday to keep the peace. They
were sent by Governor McKay
of Oregon, who later telephoned
Mayor R. J. Mauser of the Dal
les to urge quick settlement of
the controversy, since he said he
couldn't keep the state police
there long. This was believed to
have played an Important part
in the commission's decision to
order the barge away.
The Governor, however, disa
vowed any part In the decision
of the Port commission.
"It's their business and T had
no vote In their deliberations."
he told reporter. He admitted
telling Mayor Mauser that he
wanted to get the barge out of
there quickly.
On his decision to send Stale
police to The Dalles, he said, "we
had the State police there to al
low them to unload. We are not
going to allow anybody to des
troy property. People there told
me the goons were all over
town."

shore dispatcher, said a plane,
flown and owned by members of
the union local, is scouting the
Oregon coast.
Kive speedboats are "ready for
action" in case an attempt is
made to land pineapple along the
coast from Astoria to Tillamook,
he added.
The longshoremen, according
to Knutinen, had heard rumors
that several pineapple barges
were off the Columbia river,
walling to land cargo designated
as "hot" by the union.

Charge of Treason

dio Tokyo, testified the defendant
said "now you fellows have lost
all your ships. You are reallv
orphans of the Pacific. How do
you tnink you are going to get
home. . ."
That, the Jury decided, was suf
ficiently damaging to American
morale to constitute treason. Her
defense was based primarily on
this contention. Her wartime
broadcasts on the "Zero Hour"
were harmless entertainment
and she and prisoners of war on
the same program really tried to
boost Instead of lower morale.

but it didn't work." Matthews
said. "So I spread the word
around town and some of the iel
lows got together."
"We caught one car at the edg
of town and worked over three of
them. Then we let them go.
The soldiers were in private
automobiles, the pitchfork and
pick-handle armed townsfolk in

Facing House Decision
WASHINGTON. Sept. 30 (.VI
Democratic leaders predicted to
day the House will pass over
whelmingly before adjournment
a bill vastly broadening the gov
ernment Old Age Pension pro
gram. The bill sped toward a House
showdown as some labor unions

such an independent plan yes
terday. Under the government
system the employes and employ
ers equally share the cost.
