August 23. 1947 Pries 5c No. 127 6ms 3sM:. .:(dl.8 If yjjuuue There mayi be . om personal grief over the death of Senator Theodore G. Bilbo, but the coun try as a whole will feel a tense ef relief. He was a it unwanted survivor of a period, a political relic rapidly being discredited even in the south. Bilbo was one who made po litical capital out of the ku klux Man's racism, long after the orig inal KKK had died. He was Just on of many Ben Tillman of South Carolina. Gent Talmadge of Georgia were others who ex ploited the old prejudice of whites gainst blacks for political rea son.' Probably they were sincere In their beliefs; after all they had been nurtured -in the thinking of the post-reconstruction period. But sincere or tuft, they fanned the fire of race prejudice to their political advantage. Besides being a rabblerouser Bilbo was a scalawag, on the Andy May order, keeping com pany much too close .with war contractors. While the old doctrine of white supremacy is wearing thin over the south as a whole, it has defi nite vestigial values politically. Herman Talmadge carries on his father's battle in Georgia. Others will use it out of fear or design to build up their political favor. It is hard to believe, however, that any so crude as Bilbo will emerge to attain high office, because the south is waking up. It is sensi tive to its problem of race rela tions. While resentful of "dam yankee interference" southerners are, in " great numbers, making conscientious efforts to improve conditions for the negroes, to treat them with greater fairness, to give them opportunity to progress. Mississippi, we are sure, will not end a duplicate of Bilbo "The Man- to the United States senate.

Coroner Edward O. Cross said it was believed that the tip of the , propeller had broken off in the air and that the resultant vibra tion set up in the motor caused it to wrench loose from the plane. The motor was found 650 feet away from the spot where the plane fell and appeared to have fallen straight down. Cross said the plane struck with terrific impact in scab rock and it was believed all of the passen gers were killed outright. The coroner said the propeller appeared to have been partially cracked some time before the tip broke of f. Part of the break w as discolored, he said. The plane was 'reported to be directly on course between Kennewick, Wash-, where Lund had last stopped, and Spokane, where he said he planned to refuel. It had been reported from Kennewick that Lund planned to buy a new' propeller In Spokane. Private planes had been search ing the ' eastern Washington and northern Idaho area. It was found by Max Harder, a rancher, as be drove a truck across the fields. The Lunds had been missing since Aug. 3 on a flight from Roseburg to Shelby, Mont.

Highway, Rails Clear as Rock Falls for Dam 'NIAGARA, Aug. 22-(Special) A 5,500 pound charge of dyna- ! mite lifted approximately 15,000 j cubic yards of earth and rock j from the face of a bluff over the North Santiam river 2lfc miles j above here shortly after 6 o'clock ) tonight to make way for recon struction of the North Santiam j highway, necessitated by build ing of the Detroit dam. The blast was highly success- i ful, according to Larry Kuken- berg of the Kukenberg Construc tion company, contractor for road and railroad relocation and other construction work at the dam ! site. He said the rock was moved as planned and at the same time the present highway and railroad tracks below were left intact.
