Cancer 'Cure' Specialist
Faces Law's Penalty
PORTLAND, May 23 UP)
A salve sold as a cancer cure
brought a district court convic
tion yesterday to Otto Soles, 69,
charged with practicing medicine
without a license.
Dr. Daniel D. Wilson had testi
fied that Mrs. William Tharp, 40,
is near death because she used
the salve instead of submitting to
surgery.
The doctor said Mrs. Tharp
could have been cured when she
came to him three years ago. Soles
was accused of assuring the wo
man that he also could cure her
with the salye. This was identified
in court as a compound made of
petroleum jelly and charcoal. Mrs.
Tharp spurned surgery and took
the salve.
Soles will be sentenced tomor
row. The maximum penalty is (300
fine and six months in jail.

to death from a tree limb Mon

to a hangman's noose. Acquaint
ances called him a "happy-go-lucky
youngster."

Victorious Rivals
SALEM. May 23 (& State
Treasurer Walter J. Pearson, who
failed to win the Democratic nomi
nation for governor, announced to
day he would support all Demo
cratic candidates in the general
election next November.
Pearson's announcement ended
speculation that he might throw
his support to an independent can
didate. Joe E. Dunne, Portland,
leader of old age pension groups,
has indicated he would run for
governor as an independent.
In the Democratic race for gov
ernor, State Sen. Austin F. Flcgel
won the nomination, and will op-
fiose Republican Governor Doug
as McKay in November. Former
State Sen. Lew Wallace ran sec
ond, and Pearson third.
Pearson s statement today said:
"I want to thank all the Demo
crats who loyally supported, worked
and voted lor me. it is disappoint
ing to lose because of you.
"At this time, I want to urge
you and other Democrats who lost
in the primaries to join with me
in supporting the Democratic tic
ket this fall. United we will win
our victory in 1950, not only for
the Democratic party, but fo:- the
people ot Oregon." '
Budget Slashing In
Multnomah Started
PORTLAND, May 23 (P)
Multnomah county commissioners
started trimming the 1930-51 bud
get yesterday in the wake of a
special tax defeat and a "no"
from the governor.
Items adding up to about a mil
lion dollard were cut from the
original $10,695,000 budget. Com
missioners doubted they could
shave off the $2,443,000 refused by
the voters.
Governor Douglas McKay had
"no" as his answer to the com
missioners' request for a special
legislative session to help Mult
nomah county out of its financial
proglem. County officials said a
a 1947 act over-loaded the county's
welfare costs.

Last Of Shelf on
Brothers Victim
Of 2nd Shooting
FAIRFIELD, 111., May 23 -UB-Almost
a year to the day a sec
ond attempt was made on the life
of "Big Earl" Shelton, last of the
notorious Shelton brothers.
"Big Earl" was shot in the right
forearm yesterday afternoon.
Last May 24 he was shot in the
back and seriously wounded as he
sat in a gambling house just off
Fairfield aquare.
Yesterday he and his nephew,
"Little Earl" Shelton, were motor
ing through Pond creek neighbor
hood. A shot ripped through the
windshielf and into "Big Earl's"
arm. Another slug hit the rear of
the car.
Treated at a doctor's office, Earl
said he hadn't seen his assailant.
but that the shots sounded like
they came from a machine gun.
Earl's brother Carl was shot
and killed in the same area in
October, 1947. Another brother
Bernie, was murdered nine months
later near Peoria, 111, Both slay
ings are unsolved.
"Little Earl" was with his uncle
when "Big Earl" was shot last
year and in . September, 1949,
"Little Earl" was seriously wound'
ed when a volley of shots was
fired at him from an automobile
near his Fairfield home.
During the twenties the three
Shelton brothers and their gang
carried on a racket warfare, using
armored trucks and a plane to
battle-rivals over several Illinois
counties. Authorities estimated 40
men lost their lives in the strug
gles. Mock A-Bomb Attacks To
Be Used In Defense Plan
WASHINGTON UP) -Mock
atomic bomb attacks on Washing
ton, Chicago and Seattle will be
used to map an emergency civil
defense plan for American Cities.
Arrangements for the stoo-eaD
program have been completed by
the National Security Resources
board, the government agency in
charges of civil defense prepara
tions.
The idea is to give cities an
idea of how to use what they have
now, in case there were an ato
mic attack. Civilian defense offi
cials said there is no thought that
an emergency is any nearer now
than it was last week or the
week before.
