    I wasn't able to get any closer
than 25th street to the "Stan in
Stripes" show put on last week
at George Alexander's hostlery at
the end of State street. The over
flow crowd already turned back
barred the way. Judging by re
ports it was a great performance,
as might well be expected, since
George's houseguests include men
of varying talents not all of which
by any means run contrary to the
rtatiitM. The show was an "inside

the State street variety offering
didn't go to the high school, for
there was plenty of room and the
program was wel) worth while.
The orchestra took the first
half of the program. It put-its
best foot forward in the opening

Electric Heat
Sug
gested for
Icy Highways
SEATTLE, Jan. 23 -OP)- When
ample power is again assured in
the Pacific northwest, icy high
way stretches now hazardous in
winter may be heated electrically,
Seattle City Engineer R. W. Finke
said yesterday..
Successful tests of -such heating
were made mdst'! Fink e's -supervision
when he was bridge engin
eer for the state highway depart
ment. He left that post last year
to accept the city position,
Heating of even extensive por
tions of the Snoqualmie pass high
way would be infinitely less ex
pensive than building the oft-discussed
Cascade tunnel .as a means
of assuring safe and uninterrup
ted cross - mountain travel, Finke
declared.
Several practical installations
have been made of highway sec
tions heated by various systems
of hot water or hot anti-freeze
piping systems, he said.
Finke, while in Olympia, work
ed with engineers who installed a
heating system on a steep grade
at Klamath Falls, Ore, using the
hot springs there as a heat source.
He emphasized that tests made
here under laboratory conditions
were not- designed to free high
ways entirely of snow and ice. It
was considered sufficient if
enough electrical heat was run
through the pavement to enable
plows and scrapers to remove
snow without leaving an ice lay
er on the road.

action in releasing Moore.

The former governor attributed
his action to Moore's ill health.

Toothache Leads
To Horse Thievery

Farmhand Patrick Burns has
learned two lessons you shouldn't
try to remove an aching tooth
with pliers and it's a 'mistake to
sell your boss's horse.
It all started when Burns' tooth
broke as his employer tried to
pull it" with pliers. Burns then
borrowed the farmer's horse and
set out for .the dentist. But he
changed his mind, sold the animal,
and went on a binge. !
Today he was convicted of horse

Mass Arrests
Hold Czech
'Spy Suspects'
PRACUE, Jan. 22-;p)-New mass
arrests of persons accused of plot
ting against Czechoslovakia's com
munist government were revealed
today, with 60 reported held in
Bratislava on charges of spying for
UJ5. intelligence services.
Three nuns and the head of a
Franciscan monastery were listed
among the 60, along with various
Slovak business and professional
men.
The arrest of the four church fig
ures came after signs had develop
ed of a slackening of the feud be
tween the government and the Ro
man Catholic church. The press
and radio, both controlled by the
government, dropped their cam
paign against the church this week.
Officers Arrested
Gen. Josef Kuttlwassr and a
number of other army officers and
civilians were arrested early this
month on charges of preparing a
Putsch.
Persons who have seen the exer
cise yard at the Panrac prison say
at least 16 generals and 300 other
officers are in the circle lineup
during walking exercise periods.
Large Roundup
The roundup at Bratislava; capi
tal of Slovakia, was one of the
largest in a series of continuing'
arrests throughout the country
which, by official figures, would
indicate that a high proportion of
the people spend much of their
time trying to overthrow the gov
ernment.
There has not been, however.
an official statement promised last
Monday on the arrest of Gen. Kut
tlwassr and the others. The gen
eral, one of those in Pankrac pri
son, was a leader of the Prague
uprising in 1945 that finally ousted
German troops. Identity of other
high officers held was veiled in
official silence "for security rea

Of Freeze
In Salem
Oregon's weatherman stuck to
his ice-lined rut Saturday and
forecast new low temperatures for
many areas of the state for early
Sunday morning.
At Salem, the temperature was
due to drop to near 15 degrees
early Sunday with freezing fog
thrown in for good measure.
With the continuation of sub-
freezing temperatures, today is the
23rd consecutive day the ther
mometer has dropped to 32 or
below. Not since December 31
when the mercury lowed at
"mild' 38 degrees has Salem been
free of icy readings.
McNary field weathermen could
count only two aays since Decem
ber 20 that the temperature had
remained above the freezing mark.
No relief was in prospect for
Monday either, with a 12 -degree
minimum predicted for the Salem
area. Low reading Saturday was
23. Warmest Saturday afternoon
was 37.
Cold Plagues Northwest
Bitter cold and the remains of
the winter's worst snow storm
were still plaguing most north
west cities. Portland streets still
had a frozen crust of snow Satur
day despite sanding operations
Some snow flurries were forecast
for Portland today.
Klamath Falls residents were
having double trouble. Striking
plumbers left many householders
on their own to unfreeze water
pipes. Many minor fires occurred
as amateurs tried thawing pipes
with blow torches. That city was
due for five degree temperatures
today.
A freak calm in the Portland
airport district Saturday scored a
near record low of 9 degrees at
8 a.m., when it was 24 degrees in
down-town Portland.
Order in Effect
The Marion county court
minded Saturday that the order
banning all large trucks from
county roads would remain in
effect until the danger of damage
to the routes is over.
Continued cold kept area logging
and lumber operations at a stand
still and the Salem employment
office reported unemployment at
a record peak.
Motorists were warned Satur
day in the state highway engi
neer's report to drive carefully
over the week end. Chains were
required for travel In the Klam
ath Falls area.
Roadside snow in the Santiam
Junction area reached 134 inches
Saturday; Odell lake had 107
inches and Government Camp 110.
Plows and sanders were operat
ing in many parts of the state.
3,000 Americans
May Cast Illegal
Ballots in Israel
TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. H-JP-Perhaps
as many as 3,000 United
States citizens may vote illegally
in Israel's first elections Tuesday,
January 25. This is th estimate
coming from opposing political
camps tonight.
Close to 8,000 American citizens
have been resides of Palestine
for a long time. There also are
American volunteers in the army
of Israel.
Paid advertisements appeared in
the Hebrew press this week under
the name of James MacDonald,
special representative of President
Truman in the Jewish state, warn
ing Americans that they could lose
U.S. citizenship if they voe in the
Israeli elections .That is American
law.
But. other than this official
warning, it is hard to see what
action might be taken.
Cold War Grows
Europe Defense
By Alex H. Singleton
LONDON, Jan. 22 The
cold war between Russia and the
western powers grew icier today,
with both sides apparently bent
on building up their defenses.
In London, responsible diplo
matic sources said the five-nation
western European alliance has
agreed on a common defense line
stretching from the Dutch sea
coast to the Swiss mountains.
From one after another of Rus
sia's satellite statse came reports
the rulers of communist eastern
Europe are tightening their anti
capitalistic front, even amid ap
parent hints of a communist
"peace offensive."
The actions from east and west
hard on the unsuccessful ef
forts of the United Nations to set
tle international problems did
little to allay world concern over
the possibility of a third world
war.

Student Leader
Warns Against
Reds at 0SC
CORVAIXIS, Ore., Jan. 22-4JP)-The
president of the Oregon State
college associated students charg
ed today that "there are certain
people on this campus for the sole
purpose of converting students to
the cause of communism."
Tom House, Portland, said Ih a
column published in the campus
daily paper, Barometer, that "com
munism is a real factor on this
campus."
His coUimn discussed the pro
tests of the Young Progressives of
America against the policy and
the conduct of the Barometer.
Communism Real Factor
"Many people after attending
the meeting of the pre-doomed
student Barometer committee"
a committee created by the Young
Progressives of America "have
come to the realization for) the
first time that communism is i
real factor on this campus,1
House wrote in the column.
He declared that communist be
lievers "appeal to the religious
side, the workingman's side, or
anything possible to gain an open
ing wedge, or break-through,
through which they pour a satur
ated solution of high-powered
cure-all that later is admitted to
be communism
Situation Recognised.
The college president, A. L.
Strand said he was glad to find
student leaders interested in the
question. "While we probably have
less of this sort of activity than
the average campus, he com
mented, "we undoubtedly have
some, hence it is gratifying to see
the responsible student leaders
recognizing the situation and thus
taking steps to guard against it.
"My chief concern is that j
number of sincere, well-meaning
students, some with admirable re
ligious purposes in championing
what they think are worthy causes,
have been misled by the few ac
tive and persistent pro-Soviet ad
vocates," and are thus used by the
latter to their own detriment"
Aga Khan to
Bless Wedding
Of Aly to Rita
CANNES, France, Jan. 22-CPV-
The Aga Khan, spiritual leader of
70 million Ismaili Mohammedams,
will give his blessing the mar
riage of his son and twice-divorced
movie star Rita Hayworth.
Aly Khan told newsmen this at
news conference today in his
Palatial chateu on the Riviera.
The heir to untold millions, cas
ties and palaces all over the world,
fabulous jewels, yachts and racing
stables also said that his wife
would keep on working after the
marriage.
"Why should Miss Hayworth
quit her career?" he asked. "This
beautiful woman has made a bril
liant career for herself and no man
should spoil it."
He said that the marriage cere
monies one civil and one in a
mosque will be held in Cannes
so that his father the Aga Khan
could be present.
The presence of the Aga Khan
will make the ceremony notable.
He is considered so holy by Ismaili
Mohammedans that water in which
he has bathed is considered bless
ed and is bought by members of
that religion at huge prices.
Icier as West
Line Drawn
They came amid a number of
developments reflecting that con

leaders from Denmark, Norway
and Sweden met to discuss a com
mon Scandinavian defense policy.
All three expect bids to enter
the North Atlantic defense pact

Sweden, neutral in the world's
two biggest wars, has been back

Peiping Falls to Reds;
Peace Envoys Chosen
By James
NANKING, Jan. 22 -P- Peiping made its long - expected sep
arate surrender deal with the communists tonight even at the rickety
Chinese government sought a nationwide peace at almost any price.
Gen. Fu Tso-Yi's north China headquarters announced a cease
fire had ended the 40-day red siege of Peiping and that some units
of Fu's 12 5. 000 -man army had
already begun an agreed march
out of the city.
A bipartisan liaison office is to
manage civic affairs during an un
specified period until the commu
nists can take cnarge.
Terms previously reported in
cluded, removal of Fu's name from
the communists' "war criminals
list.
Peiolnc Treated Gingerly f
The communists had treated
Peiping gingerly throughout the
siege, declaring they did not want
to destroy that intellectual and
spiritual center of China. A more
practical reason probably was that
they wanted it intact for their
capital.
No such consideration was
shown towards Nanking. Despite
the departure of President Chiang
Kai-Shek at least partly meet
ing one of their demands the
reds save no indication tney wouia
make concessions to the frenzied
pleas of Chiang's political heirs.
fThe reds are in position mili
tarily to enforce a flat surrender
on their own terms. A communist
broadcast heard in San Francisco
said Chiang's retirement was an
American - instigated stunt ana
"all indications" were that Nan
king "has no desire for genuine,
democratic peace. )
Trying to End War
With Chiang in reluctant retire
ment and all north China gone
except for Tsingtao and Taiyuan
s the disintegrating nationalist
regime was trying frantically to
end the civil war on some terms
short of total surrender.
Acting President Li Tsung-Jen
appointed a five - man delegation
to try to negotiate with the com
munists, and his cohorts poured
out a series of statements ana
telegrams.
All evidently were aesignea ei
ther to gain a settlement or
barring optimistic possibility to
damn the communists with the
public for continuing the three-
year war.

Men at U. of We
For 20 Years
SEATTLE, Jan. 22 -P- The
University of Washington board of
regents dismissed three long-time
professors today ss the aftermath
of a controversy over asserted
present or former, communist par
ty membership.
The three dismissed were Asso
ciate Professor Joseph Butter
worth, Associate Professor Ralph
Gundlach and Assistant Professor
Herbert J. Phillips.
The regents' ' order, far-reaching
! in importance in educational
circles, was announced after aa
afternoon session.
Six accused professors, five at
whom have served on the. Wash
ington faculty more than 20 years,
were; given an opportunity to ap
pear.! The board of seven regents vot
ed against the dismissal of Pro
fessor Harold L. Eby, Associate
Professor Melville Jacobs and As
sistant Professor Garland Ethel
on the condition that they sign
affidavits saying they are not now
members of the communist party.
Another condition was that the
three be placed on probation for
two years.
The three dismissals will be ef
fective February 1.
A .faculty committee on tenure
of academic freedom had recom
mended dismissal of only Gund
lach.; The controversy became publie
last summer when the state legis
lature committee on un-American
activities (the Canwell committee)
conducted hearing in Seattle. The
committee questioned many, wit
nesses, including the' six profes
sors. -
As an outcome, the. university
raised formal charges against the
six with the tenure committee. The
committee held 33 secret hearings,
and then made an 81-page report
to President Alien. The decision
was then made by the seven-man
board of regents. ;
Teaches at Columbia ;
Professor Phillips, ' who has
taught summers at Columbia uni
versity in New York, has been on
the Washington faculty since 1920.
Professor Eby has been at
Washington 23 years; professor i:
Gundlach and Ethel 22 years, ana l.
Bufterworth 19 years. '
Professors Eby, Ethel and But- j
terwbrth had been in the English I
department. ' Professor Phillips
field was philosophy; Jacobs' an-
thropology and Gundlach psychol-
ogy. t
The charges against Phillips and I
Butterworth accused them of t
membership In the communist ?'
party. Gundlach also was accused .
of party membership and of ne
glecting his duties toward the unl- l
versity. ' .;

of regents as a blow to civil liber- 8
ties.!' I I
"Cannot be Permitted".
A Joint statement issued bv nro- h
fessors Herbert J. Phillips and if
Joseph Butterworth asserted the f
action "cannot and will not be if
permitted , to stand."
In a separate statement, profes
sor Ralph Gundlach declared his
dismissal was due to the "guilt by
association" doctrine. And he h
charged the regents "made a mis- '
take that will seriously effect the
reputation of the university." 'j
The statement by Phillips and ;
Butterworth said in part: .
"The action) represents md
serious blow to academic freedom i
and traditional civil liberties. We i
have appealed to the American i
association of university profes-
sors. we also appeal to au people
who support the traditional Ame- 'k
rtcan way of life." ; $
