see the sky, tops of trees and
mountains and otherwise greatly
increasing the view of features

"The bus is more than 90 percent
safety glass above seat level, and
the glare and strain of strong sun
light is filtered out by a new tint
i g method which does not inter
fere in any way with clear vision.

fountain, two way radio, public
address system and facilities for
playing recorded music.
"Wherever the Scenicruiser has
been shown it haa attracted thou
sands of interested people," said
Murray, "and the new bus has

While the total budget as pro

that of the current year's budget,
the estimated receipts will be
$68,211 08 less than that of the cur

Florida Primary
To Decide Fate
Of Sen. Pepper
'Br The AtMrlatffd Prii
Florida Democrats will decide to
morrow whether to keep Claude
Pepper in the U. S Senate or re
place him with Rep. George Smath-
The Democratic primary, In
which Communism and parts of the
ih nartv
'
Ballot box fireworks In those two
states are likely to overshadow pri
maries in Ohio, where Democrats
will pick an opponent for Senator
Taft (ROhio), and in Indiana,
where both parties will nominate
for 11 House seats.
Florida voters will decide what
looks like a photofinish race be
tween the veteran Senator Pepper
and Smathers, 36-year-old former
marine. The primary winner isn t
expected to have any trouble with
Republican opposition in Novem
ber, as only 60,595 Republicans are
Smathers has been trying to hang
"la pro-Red label on I'epuer, con
Ml
tending that the senator has been
too friendly with organizations
Smathers calls pro-Communist.
Denying this hotly, Pepper has
fired back that Smathers has been
running "a Republican campaign
against ma in a Democratic pri
mary." Pepper says he haa fol
lowed the "Roosevelt-Truman pro
gram." The President's civil rights pro
posals have figured in the Florida
, campaign, but not to the degree in
national Democratic party
Hill hasn't bothered to campaign
against his primary opponent, Law
rence McNeil, but he and Senator
Sparkman (D-Ala) have been con
lending that the best way to get
benefits for Alabama is for the
state party to turn away from the
' rights group it followed in
1948 and go back into the national
fold.
Both sides are strongly opposed
to the President's civil rights pro
grain, but differ on whether they
houl(l ''Kh " 'm within or out-
side of the national party.
In Ohio, aeven Democrats are try
ing for the senatorial nomination
to oppose Taft. The choice is ex
pected to lie between State Auditor
Joseph T. Ferguson and Mayor
Michael V. Disalle of Toledo
In a state where organized labor
ia gunning for Taft, the CIO-PAC
didn't endorse one candidate in the
Democratic primary. The Truman
administration says it is keeping
its hands off the primary race.
Indiana house races haven't
whipped up any interest outside tha
slate. The campaign will begin to
get hot, however, after the Demo
crata hold a convention June 27 to
nominate an opponent for Senator
Homer Capehart, who is expected
to get renoniination at a June 30
Republican convention.

Kansas City Gambling
Nets Millions Yearly
IContinufff' from page One)
lowed the jury's report was the
firing of Samuel C. Hayden as an
assistant Jackson county prosecu
tor. Hayden waa among IS persons
named as operators of Kansas
City's largest dice game. Hayden
denied the accusation. Others
listed as operators were Gargotta
and Robert S. Greene, county
superintendent of buildings.
In its bitter condemnation of
gamblers, the jury said:
"It is shocking to learn that
regular system of law violations
can develop and that operators of
gambling houses grow fat and wax
arrogant with the profits of their
nefarious enterprises apparently
without the slightest danger of
prosecution for their violations of
the state law."
In addition to ita report on
gambling, the jury said tens of
thousands of dollars were exacted
in Kansas City from business
firms by jumping or threatening
to jump real estate or personal
property taxes.
Edward D. Collins Sr., and
Claude Lewis, deputy assessors,
were listed as the men involved.
The report said the tax fixing oc
curred under the administration
of County Assessor George R.
Clark, a political associate of
Rinagaio. -

Traffic Death Rate
Short Of Record Low
Oregon's traffic death rate is
failing to match the all-time low
established in the early months of
1949. Secretary of State Earl T.
Newbry reported Friday.
The traffic rate is a figure rep
resenting the number of lives lost
in each 100 million miles of travel,
as computed from gasoline con
sumption records and total accident
fatalities. It is estimated at 5.4
for the three-month period ending
March 31. as compared with 4.7 at
the end of March last year.
Despite the increase, Newbry
said the rate is running well be
low the yearly average because
fatal mishaps are not keeping pace
with the large gain in motor ve
hicle travel. He warned, however,
that the upsurge thus far this year
may indicate a reversal of the
trend.
April traffic death reoorts now
being compiled show a number of
high speed collisions and loss-of-control
smash-ups on inter -city
highways, the secretary said. Rec
ords for past years reveal that
about three out of four lives lost
in Oregon traffic are due to acci
dents in rural areas, with exces
sive speed the most common con
tributing factor.
