The bov, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Roberts said he was working on

Sever burns on the roof of his

His doctor today, however, said
that the boy may recover with few

NEW YORK I President F.i-

that an economic upturn is in the
maKing.
He foresaw a future bursting with
vitality and promise.
"No single person and no sin

Once again he promised that de

be made soon.
He put so much stress on the
dangers in inflation and mounting
deficits that he appeared to rule
out the likelihood of White House
support for a general cut in fed
eral income taxes.
James C. Hagerty. his press
secretary, told newsmen in re

Stassen Suffers
Crushing Defeat
In Governor Bid
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Harold E. Stassen's bid for a
political comeback was shattered
Wednesday after Pennsylvania's
Republicans handed him a crush
ing defeat in his quest to become
the second man in history to gov
ern two states.
The 51-year old , Minnesota na
tive, admittedly facing an uphill
fight, was swamped by a tide of
votes that gave his gubernatorial
primary opponent, Arthur T. Mc
Gonigle, a victory margin of near
ly two to one.
in luesday s other primary elec
tion races, Baltimore's Mayor
Thomas D'Alesandro came out
on top in a seven man battle for
the Democratic nomination for
U. S. Senator in Maryland. D Ales
andro's running mate. J. Millard
Tawes, won the nomination for
governor.
in Pennsylvania s Democratic
primary for governor 65-year-old
Mayor David L. Lawrence of Pitts
burgh won an overwhelming tri
umph, too.
Scott, Leader Win
Easy victories also were scored
by Rep. Hugh Scott in the Repub
lican senatorial primary and Gov.
George M. Leader in the Demo
cratic senatorial race.
McGonigle, a Reading pretzel
maker, achieved victory in his
first election try. beating a man
who had his first taste of major
political success when he was
elected governor of Minnesota at
31. Stassen twice was reelected
governor of his home state.
But his attempt to duplicate Sam
Houston's record of serving as
governor of two states Ten
nessee and Texas went awry.
The Philadelphia returns killed
off Stassen early as McGonigle
took an 85,000-vote edge in the
city a margin greater by 10.000
than the estimate of the 51-vear-
old businessman's backers. Stas
sen couldn't make any dent in the
rest of the state and in 37 coun
ties where there was a dear cut
decision McGonigle was ahead in
28.
Called Carpet Bagger
The organization GOP leaders
i only interested in working nis way
back into the national limelight.
They charged he also wanted to
head a "Stop Nixon" drive in
1960 -as he did in 1956.
Stassen disclaimed such inten
tions. A sidelight to the Pennsylvania
primaries was the election of the
first Negro congressman from the
state. Democrat Robert N. N'x
defeated Republican C e I i 1 B.
Moore, also a Negro, in a special
election for the seat formerly held
by Democrat Earl Chudoff, who
has become a judge.
D'Alesandro's victory in Mary
land was his 23rd straight in a
colorful political career stretch
ing over 32 years. The 54-year-old
mayor's November opponent
will be Republican Sen. J. Glenn
Brail, who had only token opposi
tion from Henry Laque Jr.
Tawes, the state comptroller,
easily outdistanced three other
candidates in the Democratic gu-
Mwrnatonal primary. He will face
Rep. James P. Devereux, who
was unopposed for the Republi
can nomination, in the general
election.

ROSEBURG, OREGON WEDNESDAY,
Budget Group,
Minus Quorum,
Discusses Items
Roseburg's city budget commit
tee put in another session on the
1958-59 budget Tuesday night, but
unofficially still no quorum.
The group was at half strength
with only four councilmen and the
same number of citizen members.
Because this was shv of a Quorum
of nine, they couldn't elect a chair
man and secretary, so Mayor Arlo
Jacklin ramrodded them.
Taking the 33 - page proposed
budget, the powerless group wad-
ea. page-oy-page, through about
half of it. They found few items
which seemed to need explanation
or which were controversial.
The proposed 1958-59 budget
calls for a total of $765,815, with
sw.290 outside the 6 per cent lim
itation.
A cut of $2,000 for planning met
witn the approval of those present,
leaving $4,000 for the fiscal year.
This is supposed to be matched
with federal funds.
Radar Oraws Comment
One item which caused consider
able comment Tuesday and prob
ably is in for further argument is
a proposed outlay for a portable
radar unit tor the police depart
ment. There is an item calling for
spending $1,000 for the unit includ
ed in the proposed budget.
The radar purchase brought the
only voting of the session. Strictly
unofficially, the eight men voted
unanimously against the item as it
appears. In another show of hands,
five favored deleting the item. A
third vote, showed, three favoring
hiking it to tl.wo to include a re
cording device for the radar unit.
Police Chief Vernon Murdoch Jr.
defended his request for the radar
unit, lie stressed that radar had
proved to be successful in prevent
ing accidents by reducing traffic
speed. Murdoch also contended a
unit, portable and operated by one
man, would strengthen cases which
go to court and also could be used
to prove to residents that traffic
otjeq is not moving as fast as they
coitendV He said his depart. nent
gets frequent complaints of speed
ing which prove unfounded.
Tonight, the budget committee is
to meet again starting at 7:30
o'clock. The members hope to work
until the budget job is completed
if a quorum is present.

$12,500 Sum Eyed
For Juvenile Camp;
Youth Talk Given
The Douglas County Juvenile Ad
visory Council has decided to ask
the county for J12.50O in its budget
request this year for establish
ment of a youth work camp.
The council at its March meet
ing had discussed a figure of H5.
UU0 but this was dismissed since it
would finance a camp for 25 boys
for uie entire fiscal year.
At the Tuesday night meeting,
the council executive committee de
cided that that many boys would
not be likely the first year. It also
decided that actual establishment
of such a camp would not take
place until next year.
Arthur Mctiutre, chairman or the
Detention and Other Facilities
Committee, said the $12,500 would
be enough to get the camp under
way if property now being eyed is
secured. Ha said the property in
question would involve no cost.
The work camp would be design
ed to be used as a detention area
to which juvenile hoys could be
sentenced rather than being sent
to a foster home or MacLaren
School for Boys.

Featured speaker at the meeting
was Amos Reed, superintendent of
MacLaren School for Boys at Wood

PARIS I Premier Pierre
Pflimlin ordered France's mili
tary chief to Algiers Wednesday,
opening the government a drive
to win back Algeria from bark
era of (Jen. Charles de Gaulle.
But from Algeria came a defiant
no.
"We will never move an inch
backward," aaid Alain d Serig
ny, a powerful member of the
French insurgent junta in Al
giers. "We will accept no one
but De Gaulle."
Bolstered by the solid endorse
ment of the National Assembly
Tuesday, Pflimlin handed the Al
gerian mission to Gen. Henri Lo
nllot, chief of staff of the com
bined French forces.
Ixmllot was ordered to confer
with Gen. Raoul Salan, the French
military commander in Algeria,
who has been walking a tightrope
between Paris and the French ci
vilian and military junta in Al
giers.
T Ward Off Outbreak
Ostensibly, Lorillot's mission is
one of discussing routine military
operations against the Algerian na
tionalists who have been fighting
rrencn rule for more than 3d
years. But that official reason for
the mission apparently la to ward
off angry demonstrations when
Lorillot arrives.
De Serigny told an Algiers
news conference that Pflimlin is
wrong if he thinks he can settle
the insurrection in a few days.
