MARSH, as she industriously sharpened a circu lar saw in her husband's shop, United Saw Service, in the Riverside business district. There aren't many women saw filers, I imagine, and certainly few with the skill and exper ience of Mrs. Marsh. She spent six yeors in Mr. Marsh's shop in Seattle, when he was located there; and 1 Vi years in the Boeing plant there during the war. More recently she has been employed at the A. F. Saar mill here. That Mrs. Marsh is able to work at all, to say nothing of the long hours she puts in at this trying labor, is extremely gratifying; for two years aqo, os perhaps you recall, she wos pictured in our polio drive here os a patient who at that time was just fairly beginning to recover from a severe ottack of polio suffered the previous year.

In a state where politics are so 'mixed up that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's name might appear on both Repub lican and Democratic ballots, puzzled Democratic leaders appears headed toward Truman-vs-Kefauver and Eisen-hower-vs-MacArthur presidential nomination races. Monroe Sweetland, Democratic national committeeman, told a re porter that in the absence of word from Mr. Truman or Frank Mc Kinney, Democratic national chair man, he is going ahead with plans to put a slate supporting the Pres ident in the field for the May 16 Oregon primary. At i the same time, however, Sweetland said a slate of delegates for Kefauver for vice president al so may be entered. He Indicated that If Mr. Truman doesn't run, Kefauver may be the choice of Oregon organization Dem ocrats for the presidency. William L. Josslin, Democratic state chairman, said that he has "serious doubts" that Mr. Truman In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Interesting news from Tokyo: In an unprecedented criticism of an occupation agency, Yomiuri, Tokyo's largest newspaper, said today Japanese are FED UP with an American ordered radio soap opera on the democratic way of life.

And more is to come, according to the local Weather Bureau. Snow showers are forecast for Tuesday, and lower temperatures are pre dicted tonight. Southern Oregon has been hard est hit by an almost atationary snow front that is hovering just north of Seattle, a spokesman said. ! Rainfall, measuring 1.4 inches over the weekend, is falling from a flow of moist air current from the Pacific. But road conditions from Rose burg to Eugene have improved. Highway 99 north is covered with slush, but chains are not required, state police report. However, cars without chains were unable to cross Rice Hill late Sunday night, where snow now measures 14 Inches. Twelve Inches of new snow has fallen on Sexton Mountain, and chains are required. It was snow ine liehtlv this mornine. but nlows are operating and snow is well packed. Highway 42 is open, but chains , are required on Camas Mountain.

Motorist Diet In Car His car stalled, a Myrtle Creek motorist kept the motor running to keep warm Sunday and died apparently from carbon monoxide fumes. Dead is William Alvin Pritt, 34. State Police said Pritt slid off the snow-laden highway west of Crater Lake near Union Creek in Jackson County. Apparently un able to secure help, he pulled up the collar of his overcoat, started the engine and went to sleep. Pritt reportedly was going to Ft Klamath when the car stalled.

(Picture by Photo Lab) 60 BELOW IN FAIRBANKS Alaskan CityBattles Clutch Of lev Atmosphere To Pursue Regular Routine Of Existence FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) The temperature skidded to 60 degrees below zero Sunday and Fairbanks' 20,000 resi dents, their regular air communication virtually cut off by the bitter cold, shivered in a frosty world of their own. The cold spell, the second in ten days, held most of the far north in its grip. It was 78 below zero at Snag on the Alaska-Canadian border and many Interior Alaska points reported readings of 70 below or colder. A dense Ice fog which always forms when the mercury drops be low minus 45, forced scheduled air lines to cancel flights to and from Fairbanks. ... The occasional plane that did arrive took off again before its engines got cold. Visibility at night was reduced to about 30 feet. Taxis were doing a rushing busi ness as the cold stalled private automobiles. However, the taxi drivers' expenses were running high. Because of the difficulty of start- Returning Roseburg Gl's Son Born At Sea SEATTLE in When thi Navy Transport Hugh J.

They described how, numb with cold, they clung to a slippery wing until the rescue boat arrived. ' The four-engined plane, inbound from Japan with troops enroute home on emergency leave, crash landed a mile off Sandspit Air port early Saturday after it devel oped engine trouble. The survivors said ten were kill ed in the crash. The others man aged to reach the wing. Lt. Donald E. Baker, 26, of Glen dale, Calif., said the plane was "flying well on three engines ' when it touched the runway at Sandspit in an attempted emer gency landing. ing cold engines, drivers were keep ing their motors running 24 hours a day. Some residents who had to use their cars to get to and from work were parking them with their engines running all night, or get ting up every three hours to start them and warm them up. The hardy who ventured out doors were bundled in fur-lined parkas with wool mufflers tied over their faces to keep noses and cheeks from freezing. An uncov-' ered cheek would freeze in as little as ten minutcsfof exposure. Deliverymen for grocery stores were the busiest people in town. They had to race around their routes, delivering two or three or ders at a time to prevent the food from freezing. If they tarried with a load of groceries, they would have apples as hard as rocks, eggs that smashed like glass and canned goods that had frozen and bulged the container. Cans of beer fioze in le.is than -45 minutes. Even double storm windows in wcj-hf?tcd houses frosted up on the inside like a refrigerator coil. When a door was opened the frigid air meeting the warm air of the house formed a dense fog that blotted out the doorway. Hie dif ference in temperatures outside and within the houses alsj caused icicles to form in keyholes. "We ran' part way down the run way," Baker said. "After he (the pilot) touched down, evidently, he decided he couldn't make It. He hit the throttle. There was a good deal of vibration in the nose. The plane would not climb. When it hit the water, the left wing hit first but the piano landed pretty flat on the water." Baker said he tried to distribute life jackets, but apparently nobody used them, and also helped the pilot and co pilot in a futile attempt to get a liferaft out of the plane t nose. He said the co-pilot, Kenneth Kuhn, 32. Seattle, jpparcntly was lost while trying to reach the wing tip after the fuselage sank.

Command said Monday Allied jets without meaning to may have attacked Communist truce con voy on the Kaesong-Pyongyang Highway Friday. At the same time, the Allies accused the Reds of violating the agreement guaranteeing freedom from attack to one northbound and one southbound convoy daily. These developments came as subcommittees working on a Ko rean armistice again reported 10 progress. " The U.N. acknowledged that four planes bombed and strafed a bridge and antiaircraft positions near where the Reds said a plainly marked convoy of two trucks and a jeep was hit. Red Schtmt Revealed During 1 fruitless two-hour sub committee session on prisoner ex change the Communists again ac cused the Allies of scheming to deliver prisoners of war to South Korea and Nationalist China by insisting on voluntary repatriation. U.N. delegates, on the other hand, argued that the Reds are seeking to build up their armies by demanding the return of all prisoners without giving them a free choice. Brig. Gen. William P.

I The delayed-action explosion of a crip pled Air Force bomber atop a crowded guard house killed six men and injured 61 at Mather Air Base Saturday. The bomber was coming in for a landing when one of its two en gines failed. A wing dipped and sheered a power line. The bomber cartwheeled onto the peaked roof of the guardhouse, caving it in. And he gave notice, In a budget preview for reporters, that a new five to six billion dollar five-year expansion program for atomic en ergy facilities will go to Congress soon. This Isn't included In his hiulept for the fiscal year starting July 1, Mr. Truman said, because it would be apent later in conection with some fantastic weapons. He said his foreign aid program, under especially heavy criUcism, "is vital and indispensable ... in the total fight for security and peace." Mr. Truman called for ex panding total aid from $6,868,000, 000 this year to $10,844,000,000 next fiscal year, with military aid alone jumping from four to eight bil lion. Mr. Truman said without new taxes, his budget for the fiscal year beginning July l would plunge the government $11,446,000,000 fur ther in the red. The deficit for the current fis. cal year was an estimated $8,201. 000,000. Then he repeated a call for about $4,600,000,000 "at the very least" in additional revenue a call that apparently fell on aeaf eari when he first urged more taxes last Wednesday In his economic report to Congress. , This time the President didn't pitch his plea aa strongly as ho did last week nor did he soecifi cally mention rate increases as ha dla in his economic report. He emphasized "loophole" plugging. , The President told reporters, how ever, he wants the same rates h asked for last year when Congress cut his new tax program from 10 billion to about $5,400,000,000. This would mean approximately a five per cent increase in per. sonal income taxes, an increase I the normal corporation rate from 52 to J5 per cent, and more ex cise (sales) taxes. ' Mr. Truman tacked onto his budget a reduced flock of "fair deal" measures, including a fair employment practices commission anathema to manv outhrn expanded social security benefits and federal aid to schools. lie did not mention two rnntrn. vcrsial programs he plumped for futilely in his last budget the Brannan plan of farm subsidies and national health insurance. uverau, national security pro grams would take 76 cents nut f every dollar, the President said and nondefense spending would be slashed one billion dollars during mo iuii cut year. Bomb Shelters Asked He called for BOO million Hntlar.
