The tumult and the shouting
dies.
The captains and the kings
depart."
Whew! What a campaign' It will
take old Oregon two years to catch
Its breath.
The campaign is one for the his
tory books, not only of this state
but of national politics. There
never was anything quite like it
candidates for president running
like candidates for constable.
And the captains Stassen and
Dewey when they write their
memoirs the May 1948. story will
read like narratives generals write
of their military campaigns. The
battle for Coos Bay, the skirmish
at Cascade Locks, the race for
Baker, the strategic mistake (for
Dewey) at Corvallis, the poor -intelligence"
at Woodburn, and the
great climax in the debate at Port
land (with Dewey's claim his op
ponent 'surrendered").
The 'businessmen for Dewey"
pouring out their dollars on bill
boards and ads. The young "am
ateurs" in politics backing Stas
sen with all their energy and en
thusiasm. And ,the public left with minds
awhirl to decide which one should
be voted for for president. Some
what wearily the people last night
said to each of the candidates,
"Here's your hat, what' your hur
ry?" Honestly this is the presidential
primary at its worst. Interesting
and novel as the experience has
been it ought not to be repeated.
It puts the presidency, the highest
office in the world, on the level of
a local office. It has been a pleas
ure to see and to hear these emin
ent men; but obviously they could
not repeat this performance In 48
states. To do it In one or a few
states distorts the pre-convention
test. Oregon's 12 delegate votes do
not merit such Intensive cam
paigning. When tne sound and fury of this
campaign die down, attention will
turn to the republican national
convention where nominations will
be decided. Even there the atmos
phere will be electric and delib
eration will be diluted with craft
and emotionalism. But for years
the country will be talking about
the 1948 Oregon primary.

ZANES VTLLE, O., May 20.-VP-It
goes on in a thousand cities ev

seniors play at running the town
for a day, but here the boys play

They put the pinch on some
gambling, added $25 and costs to

The duly elected and appointed

Snell Crash
Laid to Lack of
Pilot Training
WASHINGTON, May 20 -(JP)
The plane disaster which killed
Governor Earl Snell last October
was probably caused by flying in
instrument weather without pro
per experience, the civil aeronau
tics board said today.
The board said the crash ap
peared the result of "the pilot's
flying into instrument weather
without the training and exper
ience required to control the air
plane safely."
The plane, piloted by Clifford
W. Hogue of Klamath Falls,
crashed southwest of Lakeview
Oct. 28, killing Snell, Secretary
of State Robert Farrell, Senate
President Marshall Cornett, and
the pilot.
The CAB said its inquiry show
ed the plane flew into a heavy
rain that limited visibility. "All
available evidence," said the CAB
report, "indicated that the pilot
encountered instrument weather
conditions and because of his in
ability to handle the aircraft by
reference to instruments alone,
lost control of it and crashed."
The report spoke of the "lack
of any instrument training or ex
perience of the pilot."

His selection came after the
U.N. security council wrangled in
two sessions today over whether
to use strong measures against
warring Arabs and Jews In Pal

By The Associated Press
Fighting in Jerusalem neared
a climax last night as Jewish
troops and Trans-Jordan's Arab
Legionnaires battled in the narrow
streets for the Holy City that con
trols Palestine's main highways.
The Arabs claimed to have gain
ed the upper hand in the struggle
in and around the ancient walled
area. They estimated they had
taken 80 per cent of the old city
and said they were mopping up
remaining Jewish strongpoints
there. A Trans-Jordan communi
que said the legion's artillery dis
persed a concentration of Jews
forming up for a counter-attack in
the northwestern quarter of Jeru
salem. Israel's air force made its first
strike, bombing Arab pofitions be
low the Sea of Galilee, a Tel Aviv
announcement said. Arab planes
attacked with cannon fire three
Jewish settlements in the north
eastern tip of Palestine.
Egypt announced that her troops
occupied Beersheba and captured
two strong Jewish positions on the
Palestine coast beyond Gaza.
The Lebanese government an
nounced the arrest of 69 Zionists,
including 41 Americans, en route
to Palestine aboard the American
ship Marine Carp. It said those
held were sent to a concentration
camp because they were able to
bear arms.
A Jewish source in Haifa said
more than 100 armed Arabs board
ed the Marine Carp and forced 61
passengers to land. The state de
partment revealed in Washington
that the removal was carried out
over the objections of the Ameri
can minister in Lebanon.

Air Advances
WASHINGTON. May 20 - (JP)
Two striking advances in long

today by U.S. fighting arms as
Russo-Araerican "peace exchan

The navy disclosed . that one of
its P2V Neptunes the plane that
holds the 11,235-mile world's dis

successfully from a 45,000-top
carrier.
The air force reported that a
huge six-engine B36 bomber had
made what is probably the longest
flight in history with a payload.
It shuttled 8,000 miles between
Texas and California, carrying a
"sizeable, useful load of dummy
bombs" which were dropped
about midway of the flight.

miners were killed tonight when
a roof section in the No. 2 mine of

here collapsed, burying them un

miles underground.
Four other miners were slightly
injured in the collapse.

Mercury Sets
Season Mark
In Salem Area
Fair weather throughout Ore
gon today will bring a record
vote in the primary, election. Dave
O'Hara, state election registrar,
predicted Thursday. (List of can
didates appears on page 4.)
At least 80 per cent of the
state's record 635,631 registered
voters are expected to go to the
polls in one of the most impor
tant primaries in history.
Thursday's bright sun brought
the thermometer in Salem to 73
degrees the warmest day since
76 degrees last October 3 and
the mercury is expected to re
main in the low 70s again today.
Harold E. Stassen. foe of Thom
as E. Dewey in the preferential
primary for the presidency, is at
least one candidate not expected
to be favored by the sunshine.
Some observers believe rain
plagued farmers, known to favor
Stassen, may take advantage of
the good weather and remain at
work instead of going to the polls.
In Salem and throughout the
state, all banks, state, county and
city public offices will be closed
in observance of the holiday.
Salem liquor stores will be shut
and Salem taverns that remain
open will be unable to dispense
liquor over the bar.
A number of high state offi
cials, including Gov. John Hall
and State Treasurer Leslie M.
Scott, will spend election day in
Portland where they will cast
their ballots. Secretary of State
Earl T. Newbry left Thursday for
his home in Ashland where he
will vote. Hall said he will not
return to the capital until Tuesday.

Soviet Protests as
U. S. Retaliates to
Publications Rules
BERLIN, Friday, May 21. -JP)-The
Russian military administra
tion today protested as illegal an
American action banning Russian
sponsored publications from the
U. S. zone of Germany and de
manded its immediate revocation.
The Americans announced their
embargo Wednesday and said it
would remain in force until the
Russians guaranteed to stop inter
fering with the circulation of American-sponsored
newspapers and
other publications in the soviet
occupation zone.
The U. S. military government
charged that hundreds of thous
ands of such publications had been
confiscated on Russian orders In
violation of four-power agree
ments for a free exchange of in
formation throughout Germany.
Repeated protests proved fruit
less, U. S. officials said.
