invaluable service in alleviating j
suffering abroad, and while the j
grants from our government eon-;

impersonal in nature. Many peo

people in need in other land. It
gives them more of. the thrill of

Fourth
By Erie Bergman

In all the glory of a beautifully
warm Independence Day, Salem
peacefully celebrated the 171st a an
niversary of tne oirin oi me na
tion at home, at the city parks
and at the Oregon state fair
grounds in most part safely and
sanely.
City swimming pools teemed
with youngsters and grownups. At
dinger park group picnics pre
dominated, the largest being the
annual reunion of the Wiley fa
mily and at Leslie park, the Beth
el Baptist church held their an
nual Fourth of July picnic with
all the trimmings. Many families
picnicked in their own backyards
with the idea of staying off the
highways and celebrating safely
in their own home town.
i With Col. Carle Abrams as mas-
ter of ceremonies, patriotic cere-
monies led off events of Fridays

Saucers Stiage Show
Over Portland Area
PORTLAND, Ore., July 4.-UP)
-The "flying saucers" - - or may
be they were something else - -staged
a wild Fourth of July
celebration today that aroused
more hullabaloo than 10 years
of firecrackers.
Scores of citizens--Including
every branch of - police in the
area - - reported seeing what
they thought were silver discs
sporting madly about overhead.
The reports came shortly aft
er a flight of B-29 bombers, fol
lowed by P-80 fighters, passed
over the city.
The first saucer reports, came
from southeast Portland, where
residents said flying discs were
sporting above the Oaks amuse
ment park. Two police patrol
cars said they saw these, too,
"up by the sun, going east."
A few minutes later Sheriff

ported seeing "20 in a line go

for barriers down among all na

task in vigorous and unmistak
able terms today for "fallacious"
arguments against Secretary Mar

ery In Europe.
without mentioning the soviet
union by name, Mr. Truman left
no doubt of his meaning when he
declared in an Independence day
address:
"Certain nations are withhold
ing their, support of reconstruc
tion plans on the ground, that this
would mean interference by some
nations in the internal affairs of
others.
"This is as fallacious as the re

he was Everett Tillman of San

aided Young in the arrest. The
woman drove the truck back but
was not held.
Although Delfel was reported
to have given no satisfactory ex

told Portland reporters he had
come back to surrender. "I had
hoped I could straighten things
out and avoid the crash." he said,
"when things got too tight, I de
cided to take a vacation and see
if I couldn't round up some new
capital to square things away.
When I left Portland I had not

The arrest climaxed a long

Young disclosed. He said the pan

Thursday evening for about 15
minutes and that the occupants
picked up clothing and two sleep-
insr bass before proceeding east

truck was stooped, however.
Young said, the officers were told
that Delfel and the woman anew

clared In solemn and measured
tones:
"I sppeal to all nations and all
peoples to break down the arti

"I appeal for tolerance and re

nations and peoples. And I sppeal
