Sprague Backs
Sen. McKay
In Radio Talk
PORTLAND. May 14 -OV If
Oregon voters let the dementi
represented by bookie and gamb
ling and slot machine syndicates
entrench, themselves in our po
litical life, they will endanger
the integrity of their government
and open the state to the forces
ol evil, former Governor Charles
A. Sprague said in a radio ad
dress in Portland Friday night.
Sprague, who said he-is throw
ing his full weight of influence
behind Senator Douglas McKay
for governor, urged the people to
nominate and elect as governor
one whose record shows he has
the resolution and moral char
acter and executive competence
to resist pressures for lax laws
and lax enforcement.
Comparing the legislative rec
ords of two candidates for the
governorship McKay and Gov
ernor John Hall Sprague as
serted that Governor Hall has al
most consistently voted with the
liquor and gambling interest, and
that McKay has voted the oppo
site way.
Sprague pointed out Oregon
needs as governor a man of un
impeachable integrity, business
ability, warm personality, deci
siveness and courage and a good
working knowledge of the state,
and he was convinced McKay
passes all these tests with a high
rating.
Police Arrest
3 Boys After
Disturbance
Three youthful "bandits." armed
with cap pistols and water guns,
were arrested by city police Fri
day night after creating a disturb
ance in a North Sjtem neighbor

three neighbor girls became fright
ened after the boys pointed their
guns at them as they were lean
ing from a window in their home.
Neighbors told police they saw
the youths trying the doors of the
Cherry Co-op warehouses, across
the street, in an apparent attempt
to enter. The girls said they first
noticed the boys when they at
tempted to ignite a pile of sawdust
in front of a nearby residence.
The boys, 11. 14 and 15 years
of age, were apprehended by po
lice at Smith street and Fair
grounds road. Police said they
were carrying a "Torn Mix" pis

Anti-Red Bill
Debate Starts
WASHINGTON, May 14-;p)-The
house plunged into a hot debate
today on a bill to put tight hobbles
on American reds.
Although assailed by opponents
as an invasion of individual liber
ties and an outgrowth of hysteria,
there was hardly a doubt the
house would approve it next week
Backers said it would expose com
munists and property.
Passage was foreshadowed by
tne zo to 40 vote by which the
house agreed at the opening of
today's session to take up the bill
The bill, which is sponsored by
the committee on un-American
activities, wouldn't make it Illegal
to belong to the communist party
It would make it a crime to try
to establish a communist dictator
ship in the United States, would
force registration of the party
membership, and otherwise keep a
tight check on operations of the,
communists and their fellow trav
elers.
Truman Terms
GOP Opposition
'Obstructionist'
WASHINGTON, May 14 -fP)-President
Truman, speaking before
a cheering democratic rally to
night, described the republican op
position as "obstructionist." He
said it was blocking liberal demo
cratic proposals.
The president spoke confidently
of his .own prospects for election
in November.
In an "off the cuff" speech to
a dinner of the young democrats
of America, he declared:
"I want to say to you that dur
ing the next four years there will
be a democrat in the Whit House,
and you are looking at him."

Dewey Implies
Reds Could Be
Arrested Now
PORTLAND, Ore., May 14-GP)-Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey asserted
tonight that the administration
knew identity of communists in
its midst, and implied it could deal
with them if it would.
As a guest on the radio (Mutual)
program, "Meet the Press," he was
asked how he would control com
munism in the United States with
out outlawing it, a hotly disputed
issue in the Oregon primary.
His rival in the state presiden
tial primary contest, Harold E.
Stassen. has called for outlawing
of the Communist party and has
been sharply disputed by Dewey
on the point. The New Yorker has
upheld the position such action
would violate the constitution.
Never Suffer From Ideas
"This country," Dewey told his
Interrogators, "will never suffer
from having ideas expressed."
As to controlling communists, he
then said:
"The FBI knows them. In my
judgment they could be prosecuted
now if the attorney general of th
United States would move."
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore.. May
14-(P)-Harold E. Stassen arrived
here tonight on a fast-paced cam
paign tour that carried him the
length of the state in 12 hours.
Stresses West Development
At stops in Cascade Locks, Hood
River, The Dalles and here, the
republican presidential aspirant
stressed his proposed program for
western development and outlaw
ing of communism.
He met the campaign promise of
his rival, Thomas E. Dewey, to
install a westerner as secretary of
the interior in his cabinet, and
asserted federal funds spent in
western projects are "investments.
not ordinary spending.
Stassen said it would be const!
tutional to outlaw communists, as
serting the government has the
power to rule out "any group that
is taking orders from a foreign
power." Dewey has insisted ft
would be unconstitutional.
