About 200 Delegates Hear
Ways To Reduce Accidents
Some 200 delegates from central
Douglas County heard how costly
accidents can be to both labor and
industry at the Roseburg Industri
al Safely Conference at Fullerton
School Saturday.
L. 0. Arens, State Industrial Ac
cident commissioner, saiu: "We
simply can't afford to have acci
dents, nor can industry afford to
let them happen. Dollars just
don't replace paychecks nor men."
He said the slate has learned in
a check of 8,800 lumber employes
averaging $390 a month that with
out Oregon coverage, which ranks
high in the United States, losses
could range from one third of earn
ings for a man with six children
to moro than two-thirds of salary
for a single man.
The group also heard from G.
Scott Kallcnbaugh, director of the
accident prevention division of
SIAC. He urged more safety con-1
sciousness on the job. He said
workers in Oregon live in such
a "nice place it is strange that
some people don't want to live
and enjoy it."
He also called for adoption of
some of the outstanding safety
work in the major industries of
the East for Industries in the west.
Three panels were conducted In
the afternoon session. Ivan Gay of
E. K. Wood Lumber Co. of Reeds.
port discussed safety in sawmill
ing. Ho said one of the outstanding
advances by his company was use

Lightning-Set
Fires In Umpqua
Forest Squelched
A lightning fire which burned
40 acres of heavy brush five miles
west of Lemola No. 1 camp in the
Umpqua National Forest this
weekend is oeing moppea up
Monday.
Lightning struck the snow-free
south slope of Dread and Terror
Ridge Friday afternoon, reports
U. S. Forest Service Fire Control
Officer Ray Hampton. The blaze
was spotted by Copco crews who
took initial action to prevent us
spreading.
Hampton said damage was slight
in this first fire "of more than
minor nature" in 1956. He said it
was necessary for fire crews to
plough through snow 8 feet deep
in spots to get to the blaze.
Some 40 men, 10 of them forest
service employes, the remainder
Copco crewmen, were sent in.
Hampton said the fire came a
"little early" in the season. He
said it was unusual in that it
struck in one of the slopes where
the snow had melted.
He pointed out that the north
slope of the ridge, behind the fire,
was covered with snow "clear to
the top."
The forest service had Roseburg
!jilot Shirley Wardle drop food sup
plies ana oeaaing into uie area
for the fire crew Saturday. Sat
urday morning Hampton and War
die flew over the area and also
over Diamond Lake.
Only an ice fringe on the south
west corner of the lake remains,
Hampton said, although the camp
grounds are still buried in 3 to 5
feet of snow. The road to the lake
up the North Umpqua Highway is
open. Hampton said The Union
Creek Highway from Medford and
Highway 97 were about opened.

Dispute Between
Army, Air Force
Nearing Congress
WASHINGTON Wl There were
some indications today that Dem
ocrats in Congress will move to
air fully and in public a row be
tween the Army and the Air Force
over defense spending and strate
gy. The row flared up Saturday
Armed Forces Day, which is sup
posed to be dedicated to unity of
the military services. While they
were cooperating In displays
across the country, some sources
in tlje Pentagon gave newsmen
documents declaring that present
emphasis on air power could lead
only to "national disaster."
One difference involves an Air
Force contention that the Navy air
arm could deliver only a "small"
strategic punch. Another centers
around rivalry over missile devel
opment. Touching off the new row was
the release of various Army pa
pers. One of them said in part:
"We continue to pour excessive
manpower and money into an air
force which has been substantially
neutralized and which pleads for
more money, more money, more
money. We continue to divert
large quantities of our military
manpower into a navy that is se
riously threatened by a nation
with practically no naval experi
ence or tradition."
Oregon COP, Democrats
Both See Victory Signs
(Continued from PageOne)
the Republicans four years ago.
They predicted McKay would pick
up nearly all of the Smith vote in
the fall.
There were no signs of acrimony
as the aftermath of the Republican
campaign. Hitchcock congratulat
ed McKay and said they both had
held to a common goal defeat of
Morse in the fall. He pledged his
aid to McKay.
The ballot count was slow, but
fewer than 60 small, outlying pre
cincts were unreported Saturday
as the vote confirmed Adlai Stev
enson's 8-5 victory margin over
Sen Estes Kefauver in the Demo
cratic presidential write-in contest.
Stevenson got 88,262 votes, Ke
fauver 56,899. About 60 per cent of
the registered Democrats voted.
Stevenson also got Oregon's 16
delegates to the Democratic Na
tional Convention and the psycho
logical boost for the primaries
coming up in Florida and Califor
nia. About 63 per cent of the regis
tered Republicans turned out and
92 per cent of them marked their
ballots for President Eisenhower,
who wa.i unopposed. He had 221,
471 votes, the greatest number in
either party.
Gov. IMmo smith was next, pil
ing up 217,852 as he won Repub
lican nomination to succeed him
self. His opponent was a political
unknown, Earl Dickson, Albany
grocer, who had 22,909 votes.
Smith's opponent will be Rob
ert D. Holmes, Astoria radio sta
tion manager, who won the Dem
ocratic nod as expected, although
his margin of victory was so nar
row it gave party leaders a fright.
His opponent. Lew Wallace,
Portland insurance man who has
been on statewide ballots several
times, announced some time ago
he was withdrawing from the race
because of a heart condition.
Nevertheless he ran up 100,102
Votes. Holmes, who campaigned
only lightly despite the fact it was
his first time on a statewide bal
lot, barely squeezed ahead with
106,349.
Vice President Nixon was cred
ited with 26.813 write-in votes for
vice president, but his support un
doubtedly was more than that.
A number of counties decided
against counting his total at this
time, and the vote for him will
not be determined until the official
canvass several weeks hence.
Oregon's four congressmen won
renomination. Three are Republi
cans. They are Sam Coon, who
will be opposed in Eastern Ore
gon by Al Ullman, advocate of a
high federal dam in Hells canyon;
Harris Ellsworth, who will be op
nosed in Soutncrn O r e g o n by
Charles Porter, Eugene attorney;
and Walter Norblad, who will tie
opposed in northeast Oregon by
Jason Lee, Salem attorney.
Tho fourth incumbent is a Dem
ocrat, Mrs. Edilh Green, who will
be opposed In Multnomah County
(Portland) by Phil Roth, Portland
attorney.
Two Portland attorneys were
chosen as national committee
men. C. Girard Davidson, assist
ant secretary of the Interior in the
Truman administration, led State
Rep. Pat Dooley, Portland, by
nearly 19,000 votes for Demo
cratic committeeman. Robert
Mautz, a University of Oregon
football star in the 1920s, topped
Stnto Sen. John Merrifield by
about 12,000 votes to become
Republican committeeman.
Davidson replaces Monroe
Swectland and Mautz succeeds
Jess Card, Portland. Neither
Sweetland nor Card sought re
election. Mrs. Virginia Grant, an attrac
tive 33-year-old Portland cocktail
waitress, provided an upset when
she defeated a political veteran,
Mrs. Gladys Last, Portland, for
Democratic national committce
woman. State Supreme Court Justice
Hall S. Lusk easily won re-election
with a better than 2-1 margin
over L. B. Sandblast, Portland.
City Tax Base Vote
Still Undetermined
- (Continued From Pago One)
make requests by the city for spe
cial levies over the ( per cent
limitation unnecessary in most
years to come, city officials say.
Should the measure carry, a levy
of $140,723.04 outside the old 8 per
cent wouldn't be put to a special
vote. The new tax base would cov
er that amount with room to spare,
Farrcll said.
The levy was figured last week
by the City Budget Committee as
the amount necessary to balance
the proposed 1956-57 city budget.
With the same 17 precincts re
porting, a recommendatory vote
on whether the city water supply
should be fluoridated was safely
passed, 1,798 - 1,102.
Building Trades Topic
At Architects' Meet
The Southwestern Oregon chap
ter of the American Institute of
Architects May meeting in Rose
burg over the weekend drew 15
members and guests.
The featured subject at the meet
ing in the Hotel Umpqua was a
round-table discussion of crafts
manship, apprenticeship training
in the building trades and ways
and means of increasing skills on
the job in all trades.
Gordon Todd, representing the
Todd Building Co. of Roseburg and
Richard Boss, who represented the
Roseburg Building Trades Council
were panel members. Lyle F.
Glenn, local architect, was pro
gram chairman and presided over
general discussion.
