It says that President Truman "pathetic ally brave," has "lost the leader ship of the nation." The Journel finds that Dewey has conducted his campaign on a high level, "fairly, frankly, with poise and confidence." The Jour nal says that Dewey "has pledged himself as unequivocally as Frank lin D. Roosevelt ever did, to. the broadening continuance of land and water development" in the west. It thinks he is under no ob ligation to the GOP "old guard" and approves of his advocacy of "a strong, non-appeasing dui per sistently friendly foreign policy." In 1936 the Journal supported Willkie and McNary. In fact the only daily in. the state to support Roosevelt and Wallace was Shel don Sackett's Coos Bay Times. So far The.

Suffering from a compound skull; fracture and a broken right arm,' youhg Michael Lintner re mained in good spirits as an RCAF para-rescue crew eased him out of his ; precarious position in the wrecked maroon Stinson mono plane. ; His mother, Mrs. A.

"It jfust happened like that " he told his father as they chatted on the plane trip to Edmonton. Two of the rescue crew, Sgt Larry Poulson and Leading-Air craftsman K. W. Clark, both of Edmonton, said Michael was con scious jwhen they reached him and that he knew of his mother's death Bra rest Boy' "Th bdy was one of the bravest I have ever seen in my air force experience," said Clark. "He knew his mother was dead but never mentioned it. He v cheerful at all times. "As a description of his courage, we remarked on what we had eaten for supper before we left Fort Nelson. He said, 'I haven't had anything for four days ex cept a handful of snow.' He ap parently 'got mixed up on the length: of tune he was in the plane." . ; Low-Hanging Clouds There had been no snow at the time of the crash, but the little Stinson was unable to get above the low-hanging clouds. Crew members ! believed the ship had been, caught in a down-draught and swept into the ground.

Lumbermen Protest Sale of Timber Land PORTLAND, Sept. 29.-UP)-An independent loggers and lumber men's group said today it disap proved; of: a recent sale of state owned timber without competi tive bidding. The Western Forest Industries association said in a letter to the state land board that it opposed such sales by the state because it involves the same principle it has opposed in federal timber cooper ative' agreements. The letter referred to sale of 280 acres of school land in the Bend area to Leonard Lundgren of Sis ters. The price represented about $18 per 1,000 feet for a stand in volving 6,000,000 feet.

Spy 4 Hunt Feuders Continue WASHINGTON, Sept 29 - (&) - The nation's atomic plants were barred today to labor unions with leaders suspected of communist tie-ups. The order came from the atomic energy commission, coinciding with these other developments: 1. The department of justice told the House un-American Activities committee it won't engage in "witch hunts' or institute prose cutions "to justify the publicity seekers." The committee has ac cused the department of failing to prosecute atomic espionage sus pects. 2. Rep. J. Pamell Thomas (R NJ) chairman of that committee, made public a letter to President Truman declaring that "you and your attorney general have at tempted to obstruct and thwart our pursuit of the facts." He challeng ed Mr. Truman to back up his re cent criticism of the committee with facts. Answer Refused 3. Two more high ranking offi cials of the CIO United Electrical workers refused to tell a house la bor subcommittee whether they are or have been communist party members. David E. Lilienthal, atomic energy commission chairman, sign ed letters ordering the United El ectrical Workers and the CIO Un ited Public Workers of America to stay out of the atomic installa tions. In each case, he said, informa tion is available concerning "al leged communist affiliation or as sociation" of certain union officers. Serious Question Viewed in connection with the failure of the labor organizations' officers to sign noh-communist af fidavits under the Taft-Hartley act, ne said, there is "a very se rious question" whether the repre sentation of atomic workers by such unions would be consistent with "that full and unqualified loyalty" to the interests of the Un ited States required by the atomic energy act. The notification went out in let ters from Lilienthal to Charles E. Wilson, president of the General Electric Co., and William B. Har rell, business manager of the Uni versity of Chicago. The company ano the university each operate atomic plants under government contracts. Both the United Public Workers and the United Electrical Workers have been under recent congres sional scrutiny. Pope Asserts Young Women Over-Confident VATICAN CITY, Sept 29 - (JPS- Pope Pius said today the modern young woman is over-confident of her ability to guard against "tho roguery and hypocrisy of seduc ers." "She believes herself able with impunity to read everything, see everything, try everything, taste everything . . . she is disarmed be fore the peril," said the pontiff. The pope addressed representa tives of the Eleventh International Congress of the society for the pro tection of young women. It has branches in many countries de voted to the assistance and re habiliation of young women. He told them their greatest ob stacle was not the hostility of those "who traffic shamelessly to en rich themselves in what is horrid ly but with exact hardness called white slavery,' but the indiffer ences and heedlessness- of people who believe themselves to be cor rect Christians.

Strikes Affect Salem Poultry, Produce Plants Union strikes In two Salem plants are being negotiated in Portland today with prospects of early settlements. Both strikes are state-wide. They involve the local plant of the Northwest Poultry 8c Dairy Products where about 30 work ers walked out Wednesday noon and the Pacific Fruit and Produce company, struck Tuesday by about 20 truck drivers and warehouse men. Plants of both companies are also struck in Albany, Corvallis and at the poultry and dairy pro ducts firm in McMinnville. Both strikes were called in Portland at each union's headquarters. Ware Issue Blamed The 20 women and 10 men members of the Poultry and Egg Workers union are out of the Salem plant on an issue over hourly wages, according to S. W. Barker, Portland, secretary and business agent for the union, and O. F. Ryals, manager of the plant. The union headquarters has de manded a state-wide increase of 18 cents per hour. Maximum wages now are 95 cents per hour for women and $1.40 for men. A com pany offer of 10 cents per hour increase was refused by the union because of an attached appren ticeship clause, Barker said here Wednesday night. Chickens Cared for Poultry in the plant will be taken care of by a worker whom the union has permitted to cross the picket line. This arrangement was set up by the union immed iately after the strike was called. Members of the warehousemen and truck drivers at the fruit and nroduce plant are involved in a state-wide dispute over hours and working conditions, but not over wages, union officials reported. Ward Graham, secretary-treasur er of tho Salem teamsters union. is in Portland today attending a negotiation meeting.

Carpenter PARIS, Sept. 29-JP)-The west ern powers asked the United Na tions security council today to step into the Berlin crisis on the grounds that ruthless Soviet ac tion threatens world peace. The Moscow New Times pre dieted failure for the appeal which was presented to the council un der the U. N. charter's most dras tic provisions. Informed sources said the coun cii would take up the issue on Monday. The United -States, France and Britain handed in the hottest case in U. N. history on the tenth an niversary of the Munich pact i forerunner to World War II. But where appeasement was the key in Munich determination to resist Soviet pressure was appar ent in Paris. The western powers said they would reserve to themselves the full right to take whatever meas ures were necessary to maintain their position in Berlin while re ferring the case to the U. N. Informed sources said this was a definite warning the three pow ers would not be forced out of Berlin. Charges Filed The United States, France and Britain had announced last Sun day their decision to go to the council. Today they filed their charges, with SO pages of notes and documents supporting them. under chapter VII of the United Nations charter. The council has the right to im pose a land, sea and air blockade around a guilty country. If nec essary, it can call on U. N. mem bers to supply armed forces for military operations against the of fender. Delegates agreed generally that the Russians would veto any de cision against them, however. This would probably result in the west ern powers taking tho case to the general assembly. Indictment States The western powers" Indictment of Russia said: 'It (Russia) has resorted to blockade measures; It has threat ened the Berlin population with starvation, disease and economic ruin; it has tolerated disorders and attempted to overthrow the duly elected municipal government in Berlin," the notes said. The Russians were silent In Paris as the charges were circu lated, but in Moscow the weekly publication New Times said the appeal to the council would be un successful. It charged Secretary Marshall and British Foreign Sec retary Ernest Bevin with direct ing a campaign for the "further ignition of war hysteria. California Told To Let Atoms Boil Sea Water SPOKANE, Sept. 29-P-South-ern California won't need to worry about irrigation water when atomic energy is fully harnessed, Dr. Gerald Wendt said today. The Calif ornians can boil all they need out of the Pacific ocean. The editorial director of Science Illustrated magazine said in an in terview that California can give up the idea of diverting water all they way from the Columbia river for irrigation. "When atomic fuel is perfected, perhaps within 10 years, it will be economically feasible to boil the water of the Pacific, toss the salt back to the fish and use the Afresh water on the land," he said.
