Kaiser-Frazer
Slashes Price
Of Henry Js
DETROIT vn The first sub
stantial price reduction to be an
nounced by any auto company in
many months became effective
Monday with a $100 to $168 cut
in Kaiser-Frazer's Henry J line.
However, the reduction doe not
indicate a trend in auto prices
generally, according to automotive
authorities. Increases, authorized
by the Capehart Amendment to
the National Defense Act, have
been the rule and there isn't likely
to be any definite price action by
other manufacturers until uncer
tainty about steel prices has been
. removed.--f- "
Automotive circles Interpret the
K-F action in reducing Henry J
model prices as an effort to read
just the competitive position be
tween this newest model in the
Kaiser-Frazer line and the average
price of other somewhat larger
cars in the lower-priced field.
Rumor has had it that some K-F
dealers have been protesting that
their sales problems had been in
tensified by the fact the differenJ
uai Deiween ine nenry u muueis
and average Ford, Chevrolet and
Plymouth models was relatively
small.
In announcing the new Henry J
price schedules, Edgar F. Kaiser,
K-F president noted that, effective
immediately, the lowest priced
Henry J model is priced at more
than $350 below the average of the
volume cars in the lower priced
group. . ' .

In the Day's News

In' New York the other night, the
Democrats held aootber of these
1100-a-plate dinners. (I think I

sitting in the seats of power and ac
customed to feeding at the public
trough couldn't consume that
amount of food. What is left over
after paying for the dinner- goes
the party campaign fund.) .
The dinner was held to honor
W. Averill Harriman, who is pres
ently mutual security director, and
to make him a full-fledged candi
date for the Democratic nomina
tion for President. Apparently he
took it seriously, for he got up and
made a speech in which he said:
"If the GOP voices of hesita

what we have built and destroy the
leadership of the United States."
Vice President Barkiey was
present and also made a speech,
in which he said: "The Democrat

Oregon Democratic National Com

The current dispute was touched
off Friday when State Treasurer
Walter J. Pearson, speaking at a
Roseburg Jefferson-Jackson Day

impossible under the "Sweetland
group."
' Sweetland later replied that
Pearson had aligned himself with
a "disruptive element" in the
party with which he said State Sen.
Thomas Mahoney is associated.
Mauoney, replying to the Sweet
land statement, said: "In his usual
cowardly fashion, Sweetland, in

Three other MIGs were shot

of the Reds new fast type 15 jets
was. hit in this scrap. It raged
30 minutes from 40,000 feet down to
tree top level. .
Fighting on the 155-mlle ground
front was sporadic and generally
light.
The heaviest action Sunday was
east ef Kumsong on the central
front. A U.N. patrol battled hand-to-hand
with a strongly entrenched
Communist company for 10 min
utes. Allied troops used their fists
and rifle butts against the Reds.
. The Allied raiders then withdrew
and fought the Reds for four hours
with rifles. ...

13 Miners Killed
In German Blast
BERLIN Wl A coal mine ex
plosion behind the Iron Curtain in
East Germany has killed at least
13 miners and injured 27. An undis
closed number of miners are listed
as missing.
An official statement by the East
German government said the blast
Saturday was in a shaft of a hard
coal mine in Zwickau in Southern
Saxony,, an area closed to West
erners. The announcement was the first
of its kind to come from the Com
munist government although It is
known that copner and uranium
mines have exploded in the pa,st.
This fact led to speculation that
the latest disaster was so great it
was felt it could be kept secret.
State security police, who nor
mally investigate nolitiral matters
including sabotage, have been
called to seek the cause of the ex
plosion. Some East Zone coal pits work
as many as 500 men each. Con
ditions in majiy are primitive and
dangerous because the Russiana
stripped them of much equipment
as reparations just after the war.
Vote Tuesday
Polls Will Be Opn
At Barcut Service;
Turned Down Before
Whether or not the North Rose
burg district will become a part of
the city of Roseburg will be up to
residents of that area in an elec
tion scheduled for Tuesday.
Polls will be open from 9 a.m. to
S p.m. and the voting place will be
at Barcus Sales and Service build
ing at the junction of Pacific High
way 99 and the Garden Valley
Road.
This will mark the third time
that this issue has come before the
voters. In previous elections it was
turned down. The area to be con
sidered at this time, however, is
larger than that previously to have
been included. It extends west
ward to include Hu Crest and the
Calkins road area. It would in
clude, Cloverdale, Fruitvale, Dixon
addition, the airport, Edenbower
and Riverside districts.
Includes All
Petitions submitted by North
Roseburg residents originally ask
ed for annexation of the area in
three separate divisions. The city
council, in setting the election, how
ever, included the area all as one
because of possible difficulties that
might arise if one or two portions
vere to become annexed and not
he other. . ;
Parts of all three areas are cov
ered by the North Roseburg San
itary District. This would cause
technical difficulties, city officials
pointed out.
Residents of Roseburg do not
vdte at this time, as a law passed
at a recent legislature, sponsored
by Representative Paul Geddes,
makes it possible for the district
considering annexation to vote
first. If it does not carry the city
does not then have to vote upon
acceptance. If the vote is favor
able, the city then must hold an
election to vote upon accepting the
area.
4 Persons Die
When Race Car
Spins Off Track
DAYTON, O. (ifl A racing car
spun crazily out of control into the
Dayton Speedway grandstand Sun
day. When it came to rest four per
sons were ' dead including the
driver, Gordon Reid 29, of Bur
bank, Calif. and at least 50 spec
tators were hurt.
It was one of the worst accidents
on American tracks since 1929,
when four persons were killed and
20- hurt -at Winchester, Ind.' : '
The crash lopped off Reid's head.
It also decapitated Mrs. Ruby Ellen
Shaffer, 43, of Springfield. The
other victims were Robert That
cher, 22, a track guard, and Gene
Lawson, 19, of Dayton.
Some among the 14,000 attending
the opening AAA sprint car pro
gram at the Speedway had narrow
escapes.
Reid had planned to drive the
car in the 500 mile speed classic
at Indianapolis May 30. He had
been driving since the end of World
War II, mostly in midget and "hot
rod" competition.
The accident happened during the
first trial heat. Reid's racer went
out of control near the top of a
bank for a turn. It spun through
a retaining wall, shot through a
standing-room crowd, ploughed into
a paint barrel, and hit the grand-
) stand.
Track officials said they did not
think Reid's car had mechanical
trouble, but they gave no immed
iate explanation for the crash.
The races resumed 90 minutes
later. Joey James of Van Nuys,
Calif., won.

this account of the stabbing:
The four men had argued with
Blair at his home Saturday after
noon. They left but returned early
Sunday. A fight developed ana
when the four left Mrs. Blair
found her husband had been
stabbed. He was taken to a Med

The accusations, usually trumped
up, may be made in public by
anonymous letter or in secret ses

watched that they have no hope of
escaping the city.
The managers of the Chong Yung

Warned that security police were
enraute to arrest them for failure
to confess their alleged crimes.
they climbed to the roof of the
Yangtze Trading Company and
locked an iron gate behind them.
Through megaphones they began
denouncing the Communists. They
shouted that their workers had
been coerced into accusing them.
They cried, "no matter how in
nocent you may be the Commu
nists will ruin you," and "death
is less painful than Red persecu
tion." .
While a crowd watched, fascin

climb the walls or find other ways
ot reaching the roof.
Finally a truck with axes, hack-
saws and other equipment arrived.
When at last the iron gate gave
way to the police attack, the two

of hatred at the Communists and
leaped to their deaths... .i. .

President Truman is "drunk witti

peachment.
- In a radio broadcast Ellsworth
said the President's "unauthorized
seizure of the steel industry was
apparently Din tne flexing of his
muscles. He seems to have visions
of bigger and better control. He
has just told a gathering of news
paper editors that he is prepared
also to seize newspapers and radio
stations if he thinks it is neces
sary."
Ellsworth was referring to a
recent press conference in u'.iich
the President said he could seize
newspapers under the same con
stitutional authority which permit
ted him to seize the strike-threatened
steel industry.
Ellsworth said the President was
"repudiated" and that within the
remaining nine months of his term
he "could destroy our form of

mat it it restricts use of govern,

"paralyzing the operations of the

In a letter to Vice President
Berkley, the President hit out vig

moves to deny any funds for gov
ernment. operation of the mills.
'He said enactment of the GOP
proposals might lead to a complete
shutdown in steel and "immedi
iately reduce the ability of our
troops in Korea to defend them
selves against attack."
Further, the President contended,
much of the debate on the matter
has been of "extreme and mis
leading character."
He warned:
"If the Communists sta?e another
offensive in Korea this spring, the
success or tauure of that offensive
may well depend on whether or
not we have kept our steel mills in
operation, -
"This is a consideration over and
above the drastic effect a steel
shutdown would have on our total
defense effort." - - -i,

Truman repealed what he had
said in a message April 9 that he
ordered "temporary operation" of
the steel mills by the government
"with the utmost reluctance; that
tne idea oi government operation of
the steel mills was thoroughly dis
tasteful to me; and that I wanted
to see it ended as soon as pos
sible." , ,
The President went on then to
challenge Congress to come up with
a better way to deal with the situa
tion created by the steel wage dis
pute it it does not like what be
has done.
His letter to Barkiey reminded
the senators, too, that he bad in
dicated his willingness to "coop
erate in developing any legislative
proposals that Congress might wish
to consider" lor dealing witn tne
steel crisis.
The message was aent to Barkiey
