fW JJl Vanguard Of Oklahoma Rivals For Senate Face Run-Off For Nominaton Foe How Far Below Seoul MOT! ME i'7riumt ll jLAsW ....La in S.n. ELMER THOMAS OKLAHOMA CITY. July Rap. Mile Monroney rallied th driva for votes in tha July 25 Oklahoma. Monroney enters the strenous three-week campaign as the man to beat. He gaind a 14,095 mar gin over Thomas in Tuesday's hol iday primary. The 48-year old Congressman missed nomination for U. S. sena tor without a runoff when five other opponents were accorded 41. 595 votes. This .left Monroney 27, 510 short of a majority. The near-record vote gave Mon roney 201,333 and Thomas 187,243 from all but 102 precincts. A bitter struggle appeared cer tain for the two veteran legisla tors. Both confidently predicted vic tory in the runoff. Thomas, a Senate veteran of 24 years' service, is seeking a sixth term. Monroney has served 12 In The Day's News By FRANK From Moscow: "A lengthy statement by Depu tory Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko charges the Unit ed States is making war against the Korean people and carrying out 'direct aggression' against both Korea and Communis-led China." Gromyko knows that a lie re peated often enough is apt to be come acceped as he truth. That is the underlying principle of propa ganda. To me, the funniest thing the Russians are doing in their reit erated propaganda statement that the Americans are SOWING PO TATO BUGS from the air over the fields of east Germany. Even war has its laughs. George Smith tells me the crops are growing as they never grew before. It's hot all right, but in a farming country hot weather has its advantages. I grew up in the corfields of the Mississippi Valley, and back there in weather like this people said happily: "If you'll listen close, you can HEAR THE CORN GROW." Darned if you almost couldn't. From Washington: "Orders for marines to join General MacArthur are taken by military men here underscoring the need for KEEPING STRONG IN JAPAN as well as holding the Korean invasion." If you'll take an appraising look at your map, you'll note that it's only a short jump from the south ern tip of Korea to the southern islands of Japan. If the commun ists were able to push us into the sea in Korea they'd hardly be able to resist the temptation to follow right on into Japan. Oakland, Yoncalla Street Projects Scheduled Two Douglas county projects both to be financed by state funds apportioned for expenditure on city streets, are listed among 32 pro jects in 22 counties for which bids have been called for opening by the State Highway commission at its meeting in Portland July 10 and 11.

Now that we're committed to it, we've GOT to stop them where they are. Tthis also comes from washing ton: "General Omar Bradley, chair man of the joint chiefs of staff, last year began urging the forma tion of a STRIKING ARMY CORPS to be composed of two divisions. He contended such a corps should be ORGANIZED AND READY AT ALL TIMES to move on short notice to any part of the world where danger threatens. "The army did not get this strik ing corps." Why didn't the army get the plnch-hitting "striking corps" it wanted? At a time like this by-gones are by-gones, and things like that are water under the bridge. But we might as well recall that an army corps trained and equipped like that COSTS MONEY and in those days we preferred to spend the money in politically profitable en terprises such as buying and stash ing away butter and eggs in caves so as to win the farmer vote. I knjDw that sounds like a mean and nasty political crack, but I don't mean it that way. If you don't appraise your mistakes when the results of them become appar ent, you'll go on making more of them. If you make TOO many mis takes, you're a gone gosling. Former Political . Aide Of Truman Accused Of Fraud SAN FRANCISCO, July 6 UP) George T.

He called it an unjustified strike and blamed 't upon a small min ority of the switchmen. He said the switchmen declined to abide by the recommendations of a very able presidntial fact finding board. He said the strike is tying up five main line railroads at a time when the rail services are need ed especially for the movement of cattle and wheat from the west. That is reason enough to take drastic action unless the atrike ends, he said. He wouldn't say, when asked, whether he felt the strike was enough for him to go before Con gress or to seek seiiure of the strike-bound lines! The strike has halted completely service on all the lines except the Great Northern. The Great Northern, however, has slashed its operations. In Chicago.
