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.
That itself will be proof of
Lunds Plane, Bodies
Found Near OSitzville
;- ,
RITZVILLE, Wash., Aug. 22-VA faulty propellor was blamed
today for the crash of a private
members of a Roseburg, Ore.,
The wreckage of the plane,
intensive search, was found today
In it were the bodies of Paul O.
his wife, and their two children,
Freda Marie. 7, and Paul, Jr., 2.
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. Since
they were not due back in Rose
burg until Aug. 12 or 13, they
were not reported missing imme
diately and the start of the search
was delayed for more than a
week.

Little Change
Expected Now
In Taxi Order
The city's "off-the-street or
der to Salem taxicab firms be
comes effective today, but tittle
immediate change in taxi business
downtown is expected.
Principal cab stands affected
are those on High street at the
Greyhound bus terminal, but with
that block torn up for street wid
ening and parking meters tem
porarily removed, the familiar
picture of several taxis lining the
west side of Senator hotel is ex
pected to be about the same until
the sheet improvement is fin
ished. Cab stands on State street,
where parking meters are now
"hooded," will be opened to the
public, but the cabs are expected
to use available metered spaces
by depositing coins like any oth
er motorists.
None : of the five taxi firms
affected indicated Friday that it
would operate exclusively from
off-street lots, although some
such off-street arrangements are
understood to be in the making.
Taxi operators are expected to
try using metered street parking
long enough to note the effect on
their business.

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.
The blast occurred one hour
after the last logging train pulled
out of the canyon. Kukenberg
construction crews will work all
night and Saturday and through
tomorrow night if 'necessary to
clear railroad tracks for resump
tion of rail . traffic. Highway
travel, however; has not been
disrupted by the blast and the
road past the site of the blast is
still open.
The site of the bla.t is in the
vicinity of Little Sardine creek
along the North Santiam high
way. The new highway there
will parallel the river 135 feet
below the level of the present
road which is 175 feet above the
river. Upriver from this site a
two-mile grade will begin, to
carry the new highway up to the
level of the Detroit dam's top.
About 2,000 feet of track in the
vicinity of the blast will be mov
ed about 20 feet closer to the
river, which will locate the new
highway about where the rail
road runs now.
Rock from the blast tonight
will be used in construction work
around the dam and particularly
in a fill to raise the level of Sar
dine creek. Eventually a flume 16
feet wide, 4 feet deep and 170
feet long will be built to let the
creek flow into the river over the
railroad and under the roadway.
The Kukenberg company now
has approximately 300 workmen
on relocation Jobs at the dam site,
but is still in need of drillers and
Jackhammer men. Employment
headquarters Is located at the job.
Among those at the scene of the
blast tonight were Hill Lind, Ku
kenberg general superintendent;
Wendell C. Struble, resident en
gineer of the public roads admin
istration, and Julian Burroughs
of the Burrougtis Electric com
pany, Salem, who owns land
nearest the scene of the blast.

court were also on hand to in

SEOUL, Korea, Aug. 22-(avPrompted by an extraordinary
complaint, U. S. authorities announced today the arrest of many
Koreans .accused of "widespread activity of a revolutionary
nature." .
Lt. Gen. John R. Hodge, commandant of the American
occupied southern half of Korea, made the announcement and
pointed cautiously to a tie-up between the accused plotters and
"the north." But he specifically declined to attribute it to Rus
sian inspiration. The Russians occupy northern Korea.
A soviet official statement to the press brought the situation
to light this afternoon and led j
one high American officer to re
tort that the Russians were "at
tempting to interfere in the con
duct of the government of south
ern Korea." r
3 Yanks Still Held
The charges, counter-charges
and disclosures in a series of
statements and press conferences,
were laid against a background
of sharp American-soviet tension
over this divided country.
Three American enlisted men
who stepped over the line into " 'ICl. v

are held incommunicado by the gainst Mression be limited to

statement with the Americans on
the stalemated efforts to arrange
a unified Korean government.
Col. Gen. Terentey F. Shtikov,
chief of the Russian delegation in j
unification negotiations, issued j
his press statement this afternoon.
Disruption Charged
He said "mass arrest' of aleft
ists in southern Korea in the" past
10 days was apparently aimed at
"disrupting the work of the joint
commission." He demanded "im
mediate measures for restoration
of normal conditions.".
General Hodge then called a
press conference and disclosed
the "revolutionary" activity.
Hodge said about 100 ringlead-
ers naa oeen arrestee in eoui
and an unknown number of oth-
Seoul
ers in the provinces on charges
of rioting, attacking police boxes
and interfering with the govern
ment's rice-collection program.
