g Tha Statesman, Salem. Oracoxu Saturday. July 24. 193 Gall for Dewey, Eisenhower Finn Action Against Russians PAWLING, N.Y, July 2-ipy-Gov: Thomas E. Dewey and- Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower today called for "absolute firmness" against Russia in the Berlin crisis. Dewey, the republican presidential candidate, told reporters after" a conference with Eisenhower at the governor's fargrt here: "We agreed our' country must stand with absolute firmness in Berlin and at the same time ne glect no avenues toward the find ing of a peaceable soiuuon. Eisenhower came to Pawling at Dewey's request. For three hours they discussed the European sit uation in general, the Berlin blockade in detail and means of improving unification of the Unit ed States armed services. Both emphasized the meeting was non-political. Eisenhower said: "We found ourselves in agree ment fhat the United States must be firm! We found ourselves in agreement that in a place as cri tical as this (Berlin), the United States must be firm. "If it knows its moral position Is correct and that position is in conformity with solemn agree ments, it cannot properly in this day and time back up from it." Asked if he thought a peaceful solution of the Berlin crisis could be found, Eisenhower said: "I do. Certainly I believe there 1 still no one in the world mad enough to see ff solution by force of arms. ivwn was asked if his (Dew ey's) statement on Berlin could be mnstrued as an endorsement of the Truman administration's cur rent handling of the crisis. The statement "can't be inter preted beyond its words," the gov ernor replied. Senator Morse Expects Little Of Special Meet EUGENE, July 23 -(JP)- Sen. Wayne I Morse was back home today, concentrating on the care of the new horse he brought here from Lexington, Ky. The republican senator will fly back to Washington Monday for Che special congressional session a session which he thinks will not do much good. . "A majority of democrats in the senate are on record against the issues Truman has indicated hp will raise in his message," Morse said. He said he expected little to be done until the con flict between a republican con gress and a democratic adminis tration is solved. 'Guru Letters' Quiz Parried By Wallace PHILADELPHIA, July 23-(JP) Henry A. Wallace refused today to -answer questions from Col umnist Westbrook Pegler or dis cuss the so-called "Guru " letters." The matter came up at Wal lace's news conference when a reporter inquired whether the third party presidential nominee was .prepared, to repudiate or comment "on the Guru letters. ' These are letters which Pegler has said Wallace wrote to the head of soma mystic cult in New York City. "I - never discuss Westbrook Pegler," Wallace said. Back in the middle of the room a man stood up. "My name is Westbrook Peg ler, he announced. Wallace flushed, looked straight at Pegler and said in measured tones: . "I will never engage in any dis cussion whatsoever with West brook Pegler." Pegler sat down. Somebody who said he was from the Detroit News got up and asked: "Did you write the Guru let ters?" "I will never engage in any dis cussion with the stooge of West brook Pegler," Wallace declared firmly." And he continued to fend off questions, saying be would dis cuss the matter in his own discre tion and at a time of his own choosing.

Grain Finals Split in Dizzy Day's Trading By William Ferris j - CHICAGO, July 23-WVClosing out of July contracts produced ome wild price swings and wierd final prices on the board of trade today. All July deliveries ended on split quotations, with the clos ing range extending to as much as 6Y cents in the sharply higher July wheat. Up until the final few minutes it looked as if July wheat would be closed out without any excite ment. Then, when some shorts who had waited until the bitter end tried to cover they found few offerings. The price shot up near ly 10 cents on small sales within a few minutes. July corn moved over a wide range throughout the session, with the longs and shorts having the best of the argument at various times. In July oats the shorts were on top all the way. The longs liqui dated persistently and dropped the contract to the lowest level since trading started. a i July wheat ended high er at $2.31 -2.38. July corn was lower to 3Vi higher at $2.08-2.12 and July oats were 3V4-4V4 lower at 734-72. Leadinn Red Sox SchedUIt. Angels SILVERTON.
