The traditionally democratic,
nominally independent Oregon
Journal has come out for Thomas
E. Dewey for president. 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

City Boy's Bravery
I By Ken Kelly
EDMONTON, Alberta, Sept 29-(Jp)-A
courageous 12-year-old boy,
who hung head-downward for
42 hours; in the cockpit of a
crashed plane beside the body of
his mother, was safe in a hospital j
here ' tonight.
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. L. Lintner
of Anchorage, Alaska, died at the
controls of the light' plane as it
crashed into the rugged bush
country, i65 miles northwest of
Fort Nelson, B. C. Mother and
sqn were flying to the United
States were Michael was to have
started his school trem.
Father Arrives
An IRCAF transport brought
young Michael to Edmonton, to
getheriwrth his father, Col. A. L.
Lintner of the United States army
reserve, who flew to Fort Nelson
from Great Falls, Mont., today.
Members of the RCAF para
rescue crew that pulled the young
ster frorri the wreckage, couldn't
say enough about Michael's brav
ery.
"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.
Mrs.; Lintner. a pilot with 435
hours' j flying time, was following
the Alaska highway, together with
another light plane. Tho two
aircraft became separated and the

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. The asso
ciation: said a recent federal auc

WASHINGTON, Sept 2MV
Selective service headquarters said
today 8,584,963 men 18 through
25 years of age registered for the
peacetime draft between August

Of! these 2,147,813 are single,

pool from which the army will get
its new man power.
Selective service said it has no
data on the number of draft-age
meni who deliberately avoidedJ
registration, but it believes the
number is small. However, the
department of justice said "quite a
few"? cases of apparent draft
dodging are being investigated by
the federal bureau of investiga

The total registration figure for

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.

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.

Notes Support
West's Claims
by Francis W. 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.
Garfield School
Reopens Today
Garfield school, closed this week
for lack of heat, will reopen this
morning, it was announced last
night by Superintendent of Schools
Frank B. Bennett.
Closing was prompted by the
sudden cool weather while Nelson

plant which had been delayed.
West Salem schools also, closed
for lack of heat while heating
plant work is going on, probably
will not reopen until Monday.
