But Just as we have sum mer theatre in New England barn lofts and on seaport wharves so music festivals are held, often out doors, in the summer months.

".W, Adding to the general confusion of state welfare grants is the $4,800 cut in general assistance tunas for Marion County for July made by the state public welfare-comma . sion. according to Marion County Judge Grant Murphy Saturday. A total of 411.200 was budgeted for Marion county's July general as sistance fund, made up of $7,800 from the state and matched , by $3,360 from Marion county. Funds for old age pensions, blind assist ance and dependent children re mains as budgeted, since they ara matched.' three ways, with county. state and federal funds.

Portland Flood Damages Top Early Estimate PORTLAND, July 10-(P)-FIood damage in the North Portland area from Van port to the eastern suburbs is worse than officials had" estimated earlier. . Red Cross workers helping re habilitate families evacuated from some 1,300 homes east of the Van port breaks and along a 10-mile inundated North Portland area said the damage has been reveal ed by receding waters. Homes that were believed only slightly damaged must be virtual-. ly - rebuilt. Scores had holes punched in their walls by float ing debris. Many floated from foundations, twisting walls and buckling floors. In the mile square sWt and water sogged sector that once was home to 18,700 Vanport residents there are few of the multiple apartment units still erect. There were 'some 800 big frame build ings when the flood struck May 30. Scores of automobiles were lost in Vanport. Their mud buried bodies are being located as the water recedes. - ' The damage to the Portland- Columbia airport is also heavier than anticipated. from the state has been cut near ly 40 per cent. Judge Murphy said, but the state still has. the county's $3,360, only part of which it can match. The county money left over can not be returned to the county until. the end of the year, or the county would go ahead and use the matching fund left-over for general, assistance. Murphy said. Unused monies must be turned back to the counties, according to law, but. Murphy has not pressed the welfare board for its return. Murphy, indicated that the- state welfare department holds, $53,000 In left-over money contributed by Marion, county during 1947.; ' J In an effort to iron out the wel fare muddle a meeting wiH be held In' Portland Friday with all county welfare agencies being rep resented.

Yugoslavia's Reds Given Cold Shoulder By Glenn VVUlUms : LONDON, July 10 Follow ing Russia's cut, four European communist parties announced to day they are refusing to attend Yugoslavia's communist party congress. Marshal Tito and his Yugoslav reds are in disgrace, suspended by the nine nation communist infor mation bureau, because they in sist upon equality among Europe's communist organizations and not just a place in the queue behind Stalin's party. The Czechoslovak, French, Ital ian and Hungarian communists all disclosed today they will not be guests at the Yugoslav meeting which begins July 21. The Yugo slav news agency "Tanjug" an nounced Monday that all commu nist parties had been invited. Russia revealed its "no" Wed nesday. The hard - faced attitude of the red neighbors who earlier hailed Tito as "brother indicated a near ing showdown on the two inter pretations of communism which already have ehaken the red world harder than anything since Stalin ousted Trotzky a quarter century ago. 3 Candidates In Sixth Ward Alderman Race Three candidates were in the race for sixth ward alderman Sat urday, with announcements from incumbent Robert DeArmond and from George Cadwell adding to the declaration of candidacy filed earlier by former alderman Tom Armstrong. DeArmond was appointed to the council post recently when Alder man Daniel J.' Fry moved into an other ward and was ineligible for council membership. Due to ad dress . changes both ward 6 and ward 4 alderman posts are to be filled in the November general election. DeArmond, a local attorney, said Saturday he would seek election. Cadwell, an oU company operator at 25th and State streets, took out nominating petitions at city hail, filing as his statement: "Work for good efficient dry government at the least possible expense to tax payers; efficient police department and better traffic control; good city schools and playgrounds.

Cornell PHILADELPHIA, July 10 -OR The democratic dans, after feud ing fiercely for months, dosed ranks almost solidly tonight be hind Harry Truman for president. But they held the vice presi dential contest wide open for the national convention - beginning Monday and ending, it may be, as early as Wednesday. First the running mate swing was .toward Senator Scott Lueas of Illinois. Then It moved toward Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, and then toward Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney of Wyoming. Caucus Cancelled Douglas said in Oregon that he would not quit the bench for the vice presidential nomination. But there wasn't - any doubt about the presidential nominee. The democrats are going to place in the willing hands of Mr. Tru man the banner Franklin u. Roosevelt carried to four victories in a row. If a'ny clincher was needed, the eldest son of the late F. D. R. sup plies it. James Roosevelt announc ed tonight he was cancelling a caucus he had called with the idea of lining up power behind Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for president. f Cenvnlttee Picked Up to that point there had been some suggestions that the caucus might go on anyway, to look over other possibilities than the gen eral. Eisenhower knocked the props from under the campaign for him with a statement yester day that he wouldn't accept the nomination under any terms. Anti-Truman southerners kept up gestures of opposition to nomi nating 'the- president for a full four-year term. Party leaders from seven south ern -states .picked .a committee to seek a possible candidate on whom they could agree at a caucus of their own tomorrow. Some of them talked of Senator Richard. Russell of Georgia.
