2 Tho Nwi-Rvlew, Roieburj, Holt Heads Home With 12 More Korean Orphans SEOUL, Korea Wl Harry Holt, the Creswell, Ore., farmer who "just loves children," headed home Friday with 12 more Korean war orphans for American fam ilies. Holt adopted eight war orphans last year himself. He spent the past week furthering the place ment of hundreds more in Ameri can homes. The Oregonian shepherded his latest charges six boys and six girls aboard a Northwest Airlines plane. He offered to take the group as far as Seattle, from where they will fan out to homes over the United States, The 50-year-old farmer said American families have signed up to adopt some 600 orphans. He promised to return next month to pick up another batch. Holt interrupted spring plowing on his 350-acre farm to come here. He has been busy organiz ing adoption steps, helping mal nutrition cases to hospitals, and making arrangements with Korean agencies which are gathering chil dren from all parts of the country. The farmer said the eight Ko reans he adopted all under five are doing fine at his home. "It's quite a house full. It makes you feel younger when small chil dren are around," he added. Holt has six children of his own, ranging from 9 to 22. Stevenson Says Estes Hurting Democrat Parry (Continued From Page One) of the party's leaders around the country." Stevenson's contention that Ke fauver is damaging party unity was pinned to what he termed "a chorus of indignant denuncia tion" by the Tennessee senator and his supporters to the effect that "political bosses" were try ing to freeze him out. "A political boss," Stevenson said, "is evidently anyone who prefers Stevenson to Kefauver." The Florida primary looms as a major test of sentiment in the South as between Stevenson and Kefauver. Kefauver planned a five-day slay in New Jersey. Moving there from Nebraska Thursday, he said he feels Stevenson is "still out in front in the race for the Demo cratic nomination. But the Tenncssean expressed the opinion he is in better position to win convention delegates than he was four years ago, when Stevenson captured the nomina tion. "And." he added. "I am on better terms with more of the pol itical leaders than I was then." 'Stevenson, who was bested by Kctauver m the Minnesota prima ry March 20, said in Kingsland Ga., yesterday he is optimistic aDoul winning in tno Florida pri mary May 29 his next major Head-on test against Kefauver. Stevenson, who drops down to Jacksonville, Hit., lor a speech today, voiced the hope he would get full support from Southern delegations to the Democratic con vention in Chicago. "I am inclined to believe I will," he added in a copyrighted interview with M. L. St. John, political editor of the Atlanta Constitution. Stevenson said that "If the South left the Democratic party" over the civil rights issue the party would lose the election this year and "would be Injured for years to come. The former Illinois governor, who carried the Democrats' 1952 standard in a losing cause, Is not entered in the New Jersey prima ry on April 17. But his backers there have started a campaign to induce Democrats to support the regular Democratic organization delegate slate, headed by Gov. Kohert B. Mcyner, This 72-menibcr slate, running unpledged, is opposing a full dele gate rosier entered in behalf of Kefauver. New Jersey will have ;iti votes at the convention, each delegate casting half a vote.

ICC Car Routing Order Attacked By Lumber Firm WASHINGTON W The Inter state Commerce Commission or der against "slow routing" of railroad boxcars was attacked here Thursday by representatives of a Corvauis, Ore., lumber com pany. The Digger Mountain Lumber Co. of Corvallis petitioned the ICC to withdraw the order pending a hearing, contending the order threatens to disrupt much of the Northwest lumber industry. The ICC order, issued last month, forbids so-called slow rout ing f boxcars and was designed to relieve the car shortage, The order was designed to halt the practice of some lumbermen in starting unsold shipments east ward, some by round-about routes while brokers negotiated for sale of the lumber.' The Corvallis firm asserted this was a traditional practice in its region and that elimination of the system would require small mills to overburden their finances by carrying large inventories. The petition said the shortage resulted irom the failure of Eastern rail roads to return cars to the West. The action followed a statement last week by Sen. Morse (D-Ore) that a hearing should be sched uled before the order soes into effect. It now is to take effect next , Monday.

The college itself escaped. The tornado passed between this city and the institution. The warning possibly prevented mass injuries at the Steohen F. Austin high school, only a short distance from the main path of the tornado. School authorities kept the chil dren in the building although it was time for school to end for the day. They ordered all windows in tho building to be opened to prevent the auction of' the tornado from blasting shattered glass around the building. Children were herded into halls. ICC Schedules Boxcar Hearing The Interstate Commerce Com mission has scheduled a meeting Monday to reconsider controver sial car service, order 910. nn in. formed source said Friday, reports Tho News-Review Washington Cor respondent A Robert Smith in a telegram received today. The order, which Western Ore gon lumbermen have been protest ing vigorously, goes into effect Sunday midnight, Smith said. The ICC meeting Mondnv ( thought to have been called as a direct result of a request made Thursday by Sen. Warren G. Mag nuson (D-Wash), that order 910 be held up or amended to exclude lumber shipments until a hearing can he held on its economic effect on tne Northwest lumber Industry. Mauniisnn Is chairmon of the Senate Interstate Commerce Com mittee, which gives him probably the greatest leverage of any mem ber of Congress over ICC matters, according to Smith.

Arrington said the FHA will "not favorable act" on applications for mortgage insurance within the area." He says: "Our attitude may be summarized briefly by stating that until such time as sewer lines con nected to an adequate sewage treatment plant serve the homes in the area, insurance of mort gages represents a greater risk than this administration can as sume inasmuch as the existing sewage disposal situation can only lead to a continuing downward trend in values of all homes with in the area."

Both eyes are damaged, perhaps the right eye more than the left. It is quite serious, but I have hope for the best." U. S. Atty. Paul W.
