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.
Radar Warning
Credited With
Saving Of Lives
BRYAN, Tex. t Residents of
tnis central Texas city of 20,000,
alerted, by radar tornado-spotter,
escaptcd without a single cut or
scraicn yesterday as a major
twister destroyed or damaged
more than 200 homes and half a
dozen commercial buildings.
A broadcast 15-minute warning
irom me lexas asm college ra
dar tornado-spotter, gave citizens
a cnance to laKe saictv measures.
AAM was a pioneer in develop
ment of tornado warnings bv ra
dar.
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.

Lumbermen Not Alarmed
Over Ruling Of FHA

should be stuffy about this. The
main thing is we want a structure
that is sound within the intent of
our mortgaging guarantee pro
gram. We are going to rely on our
officers. I'm hoping they will use
their common sense," said Charles
A. Bowser, assistant commissioner
in charge of underwriting for the
FHA in Washington, D.C.
Arrineton said, however, his
office would not approve loans
where it was Known wree-quarier
inch boards had been used.
"Of course where a house is
already built, we can't see what
size is stamped on the boards. And
if the boards are unstamped in
new construction we probably
can't tell the size water content
can make more than l-32d of an
inch difference," Arrington added.
But Arrington said that where
stamped lumber can be seen loan
applications will be rejected until
the national FHA office puts out a
new directive or the American
Lumber Standards Committee
approves the three-quarter inch
board.

the area constitutes a health haz
ard and introduces into the area
a serious value destroying ele
ment." 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."
Describing the situation, Arring
ton said a number of septic tanks
have failed with the area, and
signs of raw sewage seeping into
ditches along the roads and diffi
culties by the Green school with
sewage disposal have become evi
dent.
'The health hazard inherent In
the area cannot be ignored by this
administration," he said.
"If the sanitary district . . .rais
es necessary funds through bond
issue, installs sewer lines connect
ed to an adequate treatment plant,
we will be pleased to consider ap
plications for mortgage insurance
on homes within the area," he
concluded.

Acid Thrower "
Sought; Riesel
Badly Injured
NEW YORK ( The FBI and
other federal and local agencies
today pressed a hunt for the uni
dentified young man who threw
sulphuric acid into the eyes of
crusading labor columnist Victor
Riesel. Rewards totaling $14,500
have been offered.
Full facilities of the FBI, the
city Police Department, the Man
hattan district attorney's office
and he U. S. attorney'i office
were mobilized.
State Ally. Gen. Jacob K. Javits
pledged the cooperation of his of
fice in bringing Riesel'i assailant
to justice. Gov. Averell Harriman
said he was "inexpressably shock
ed." The latest word on whether Rie
sel's eyesight will be lost or im
paired came from Dr. Geralimo
Bonaccolto, chief eye surgeon at
St. Clare's Hospital:
"The diagnosis is guarded. We
will not know for one week. He
can see now. He has vision now.
He can make out objects and light.
It will take, however, about one
week before we can tell what the
results will be to his vision. 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. Williams
called the acid-throwing a "black
effort" to intimidate witnesses in
his month-old investigation into in
dustrial rackets in the metropoli
tan area.
Williams said Riesel had given
the Justice Department "impor
tant information on gangster me
thods in the trucking and garment
industries.
