he arrived by plane last Tuesday.
Saturday evening an eager
crowd of teen-age autograph seek

with police escort, about 8:15 and
was immediately swallowed up by
the large throng.
Speaking on a KRNR radio in

"Ciy" and "The Little White Cloud

incmns, aeciacd: -
"It's wonderful to be back."
Among those in the welcoming
crowd was Mayor Albert G. Flegel.
The singer plans to be in Rose

San Francisco to do some pro

He gave no indication as to what
he'll do here during this week. It
was all supposed to be a big secret
in the first place.
But if local record merchants
have anything to say about it, he'll
make a few personal appearances
and sign a few autographs.
Johnny says he has several new
records "on the shelf" to be re
leased when the proper time
canes.

And once back East he didn't
have much trouble selling the idea
of "The Little White Cloud That
Cried," he said. It was his own
creation.
His next engagement will be at
Philadelphia, Feb. 11.
One of his major problems this
week will be getting rid of the
cold he contracted somewhere a

Six Persons Perish
t In Flood That Metes
Extensive Damage
MARIETTA, 0. Wl The crest
of mi Ohio River flood surged
southward toward the heavy in
dustrial area of Wheeling, W, Va.,
Monday washing across the -lowlands
and chasing 7,000 persons
from their homes.
Six persons died from the flood
ing Ohio and swollen tributaries
in the first 36 hours of a three
state flood.
Homes and businesses- suffered
unestimated damage. More dam
age was on its way. Roads by the
scores nowea deep in water.
Gorged Ohio tributaries created
slightly lesser flood conditions
throughout Centra) and Southern
Ohio. Torrential winter rain over
'.'.ie week-end was the cause.
Surprisingly high crests on these
minor streams set up the threat of
heavier flood damage than was
anticipated from Portsmouth west
through Cincinnati into Indiana.
The swollen Scioto River, for in
stance, crested in southern Clio
at 28 feet this morning 13 feet
over flood stage. This gorge of wa
ter will hit the Ohio at Portsmouth
in 24 hours.
Villages Hard Hit
By mid-morning, the crest swung
by the lowland villages of Stratum,
Lmpire and Brilliant. O.. and New
Cumberland and Wellsburg, W. Va.
All these villages were hard hit.
About 2,000 persons were driven
frirni their homes and at Steuben-
vilie just to the south.
Wheeling is next. The ponderous
top of the flood should reach that
area in mid-afternoon.
It looked like a cinch that the
Ohio would flood clear down to
Cairo, III., where it joins the Mis
sisissippi. Although the Ohio River head
lined the big show, the Great Mi
ami River in .Southeastern- Ohio
was putting on an exciting side-
snow, ine Middietown city com
mission declared an emergency.
Commission Chairman Francis
Carmody ordered engineers to blow
up the levee of the hydraulic canal
to relieve flooded northwestern city
areas.
Bad Checks Cashed
On Commission Basis
A man who admitted he was
cashing bad checks on a 25 per
cent commission, was arrested on
Jackson Street Saturday, reports
Chief of Police Ted Mazac.
Lodged in the city jail on a bad
bad check charge is Frank
David Jones, 22, Roseburg, Mazac
said.
Jones was arrested 12 minutes
after he had cashed $132 check
in the establishment of a Rose
burg merchant.
The check was written on one
of several blank ones that had
been stolen earlier from Fir Man
ufacturing Company, the officer
said.
An accomplice of Jones' was
arrested on a drunk charge and
is also being held in Jail pending
further investigation, Mazac
stated.
Police believe, they said, that
Jones was hired by three men
who agreed to pay him 25 per
cent of the total amount of checks
that he cashed.
Mazac warned merchants to be
on the alert for groups that work
in a similar manner.
Herbert Hoover Repeats Advice
To U.S. To Quit Europe, Become
West Hemisphere's 'Gibraltar1
NEW YORK (AP) "Dantrprous overstraining" of
American economy and continental Europe's "inertia" in re
arming, Herbert Hoover says, make it advisable that Con
gress reconsider U.S. foreign policies.
The former President, calling for
a study of alternative actions, pro-
no-es that American ground forces
eventually be withdrawn from Eu
rope while this country concen
trates on air and sea power. He
aid an exception would be made
for those U.S. forces needed to
protect American air bases outside
Atlantic Pact nations.
Mr. Hoover's appeal that Con
gress recalculate the "risk of war
or economic degeneration" was
made Sunday in a nationwide tele
vision and radio address.
He indicated that such a restudy
of national policy would amount
to the re-opening of "The Great
Debate" of a year ago in the light
of evenU that have happened since.
In December, 1950. Mr. Hoover
joined in that foreign policy debate
in a speech in which he summoned
Americans to defend the Western
hemisphere as a "Gibraltar" of
freedom.

The Reds promised to study the
proposal
The prisoner exchange plan in
corporates all basic points of the
Allied proposal submitted Jan. 8,
including voluntary repatriation
which the Reds have said they
never will accept.
It is a companion piece to the
detailed draft on truce supervision
given the Communists Sunday.
Staff officers were scheduled to
start work on this Allied draft Mon
day, but the Communists asked for
and got a 24-hour postponement.
The truce supervision subcom

He repeated previous arguments
that the principle of voluntary re

exchange, of mixing civilians
and war prisoners and paroling
prisoners would deprive POWS f
their .-rights. - -
"You may try to hide your In
tent behind the nice sounding
words of voluntary repatriation,
but I tell you you cannot attain this
purpose," Lee said.
Libby told Allied newsmen there
was no chance of turning the pris
oner exchange problem over to the
staff officers for the time being.
"We're not ready to da any
thing like that," he said.

Drunken Driving Rap

jail sentence on a drunk driving

speech closely paralleled those Mr,
Hoover made in late 1950. These.
in essence, would leave European
Allies to concentrate on eround
torces wniie tne United states and
Britain built air and sea striking
power. The U.S. also would pro
vide Its friends such munitions as
it could afford, but it would forego
a large ground army so as not to
risk endangering the national eco
nomy. The 77-year-old former President
was critical of United Nations pol
icy in Korea and called for re
vision of American relations to the
U.N. Charter.
In an appraisal of domestic con
ditions in the past year, Mr. Hoover
said the United States suffers
"from the blight of Inflation and
confiscatory taxes."
He said the inflation-tax pres
sures are welcomed by aome men
because "these forces drive to

Tri-State Truck
Tax Plan Agreed
On In Principle
BOISE IH Oregon, Washington

Jordan said the agreement
reached over the week-end calls
for full reciprocity on passenger
cars and all trucks up to 26,000
pounds.
Both Idaho and Oregon will con
tinue to collect their ton-mile tax,
the governor said, and Idaho con
tract and common carriers will go
on paying the Washington Public
Service Commission fees.
Idaho owners of more than two
vehicles over 26.000 pounds will
prorate their mileage in the three
states and license them in Oregon
and Washington in proportion 'to
tne miles traveled in each stale,
the agreement stipulates.
Idaho will waive deposit of the
$20 prepaid highway use tax for
out-of-state trucks, but will collect
the mill levy use tax where ap

Jordan said a program whereby
trurkers paying the ton-mile tax
