Local Broadcast Stresses Amateur Radio's Value Interest in the work of amateur radio operators took a noticeable rife last week after the only means of communication out of Coos Bay waa handled by the so-called "hams." An important link In that single communication channel was found Voter Qualification May Bar Negroes In Alabama BIRMINGHAM, Ala. UP) Late returns today increased the margin favoring an Alabama voter qualification amendment backed by state white supremacy advo cates, i With 1,978 of the state's 2,444 boxes heard from after Tuesday's special election, 50,190 votes had been cast for the amendment, and 47,083 against. Negroes fear that the voter qual ification amendment could be used to deny them the ballot. It would five wide judicial powers to county boards of registrars which pass on prospective voters. Among other things, the amend ment would require applicants for registration as voters to be of good character and to "embrace the ob ligations of citizenship." County registrars would decide whether these requirements were met. The widely debated $25,000,000 road bond issue was approved. Choral Group Will Present 'Messiah' Sunday At 4 P.M.

Woodward and Shirlie Iverson; contralto, Jaenne Moore and Mar rion Ross; tenor, the Rev. Willis Erickson, and bass, Herschell Scott, Frank Moore and Wayne Mosher. Philippines Face Return Smash From Typhoon MANILA UP) The death toll from a typhoon which swept across the central Philippines Mon day rose to 569 as the same storm situation, to show that U:e vast ma jority of government employes do their duty and to see that the hon est employes are not smeared by the actions ol the others. With an apparent air of confi dence, the President said he does not expect the recent wave of scan dal to be an issue in the 1952 presi dential campaign. A similar statement was made Tuesday by McKinney. Republicans promptly retorted to Mcitinney that it was now an issue and would continue to be. Press Critics Rapptd Mr. Truman said this matter will be cleared up long before the cam paign gets under way, just as the communism - in - government issue has, in his belief, been disposed of by firm administration action. The President took a broad swing at his newsoarjer critics by saying McKinney suits him down to the ground as national chairman and he doesn't pull the rug from under people who please him just be cause the newspapers don't like him. Asked about a demand by Rep. Byrnes (R-Wis) that McGrath be fired on the ground that he has shown no zeal for a governmental cleanup, the President said he doubts if there's a single member of his cabinet that some congress man or other . doesn't want fired.

They didn't get any where today. An official U. N. command spokesman said the Reds may hold many prisoners in camps far to the east of Panmunjom, where the Communists want to trade prison ers.
