' J Medicine-Gulping Child Identified via Use of Warm Milk PORTLAND, March 8 -)-Two little girls, both too young to talk, were playing together and one of them drained a bot tle of nosedrops. Their mothers couldn't find out whether Linda Jean Lund bom, 18 months, or Kathleen Mary Opray, 2, had emptied the bottle. Frightened, the mothers summoned a first aid car. Crewmen found the children were too small to use a stomach pump. But one of them found a solution. He administered warm milk to both. "Which ever one gets sick is the culprit," he said. It turned out to be Kathleen Mary. She felt even worse than two days before when, her mo ther said, she drank a bottle of perfume. William ITren, Aged Political Reformer, Dies PORTLAND. March 8-VWil liam S. U'ren, 90, who fought for political reforms In Oregon that later became almost universal in the United States, died today. He had been near death for al most a month since a pneumonia attack. U'ren was credited with effect ing Oregon adoption of the Aus tralian ballot the initiative, the referendum, the recall, the direct primary and the voter registration law. These wero first adoDted in the United states by Oregon and and have since been recognized as basic political rights elsewhere in the union. He fought for the DODular vote for selection of UJB. senators and directed the legislative battles in 1808 that made Oreeon the first state to adopt the system. The late Senator William E. Borah of Idaho said at the passage of the inn amendment to the UJS. con stitution that ITren was the man who did the Initial spade work. He drew much of his idealism from work with the leaders of the populist party in the last decade of the 18th century. His most ac tive years were between 1890 and 1908. He served but one legisla tive term, preferring to remain in the background to manage the legislative maneuvering. FLYING SAUCEKS AGAIN KLAMATH FALLS, March 8-(P)-Those saucers are flying again. At least a woman living on the outskirts of Klamath Falls report ed she saw two brightly-colored objects flying over Hogbtelc mountain southeast of the city. She said they looked something like two wagon wheels attached with what might be a motor. fr. Old Man Oregon Getting too By Ralph Watson This is introducing Mr. Omo. He Is a sturdy pioneer whose full name, all stretched out, is Old Man Oregon. But his home foIksH who have largely followed the fashions set in Washington, D. C, Just squeeze him down into his Initials and let it go at that. It saves space and sounds democra tic. Mr. Omo Was born in 1859 and he has three sons (board of con trol), 38 grand son s (counties) and 205 grand children (cities). aU living on 'he original old home place in the spots given to each. Back when the three kids were young Mr. Omo split up what the place raised with them and every body had enough and was con tented and happy. And even after the 38 grandsons got established and the 209 great grandchildren Longest Speech of Session WASHINGTON, March Z-(Xy-In a speech that took nearly seven hours and set a talking record for this congress. Senator Harry P. Cain (R-Wash) tonight lambast ed Mon C. Wallgren, President Truman's nominee to a high de fense post. He charged that Wallgren was unqualified for the $14,00o-a-year chairmanship of the national se curity resources board, and thf he had been soft toward commun ists when he was governor of Washington. Cain also demanded an inquiry into a report, which he attributed to Columnist Drew Pearson, that Wallgren once won $50,000 in dice game with Johnny Meyer, contact man for Howard Hughes, multimillionaire plane builder and movie producer. Wallgren, who previously had denied Cain's other charges, told a rerjorter the report of a dice game was "entirely false." Billed for 16 Honrs Cain had billed his speech to last 16 hours. Asked why he had knocked off far short of that, he said he "reached a logical stop Dins Dlace." He started at 2:15 d. m.. and ended at 9. Frequently during his long blast he sipped milk and coffee. Twice an aide changed his shoes to ease his aching feet. An interested spectator in the gallery was Mrs. Cain, who recent ly started a divorce action against the senator. Cain demanded that the senate armed services committee sum mon Columnist Pearson to testify under oath about the alleged dice same. The senator said Pearson called him on the telephone and told him that Wallgren had won the $50,000 from Meyer six or seven years ago In California. Investigated by Committee Meyer was public 'relations man for Planemaker Hughes, whose al leged parties and favors for high officials were investigated by the senate war investigating commit tee two years ago. Wallgren was a member oi tne senate and the Truman war in vestigating committee in 1942-43.

An estimated 400 persons were in the gallery for the windupf of the longest session of the 81st con gress. When Cain finished, xewer man 20 senators were in their seats. Cain, giving southern democrats welcome rest in their long fili buster to preserve the right to fil ibuster, has been fighting for sev eral weeks against the nomination of Wallgren, former Washington governor and fishing companion oi President Truman. Heifers Live 63 Days in Haystack CODY, Neb- March 8UPhTvro Hereford heifers caught in the January 2 blizzard were alive and in reasonably good condition today after being entombed 'C 3-days in a straw stack. John Yancy, who found the two-year-old heifers in the straw stack late Friday, said they had kept alive by licking the snow and eat ing straw. The two cows were wobbly and weak but otherwise in good condition. They had spent 63 days in a four by 20 foot space inside the strastack. Big for Their Taxable Britches set up housekeeping on their own everything ran along pretty har moniously. But after while Mr. Omo sort of softened up and adopted a whole flock of orphans with big appetites and the habit of outgrowing their clothes and he began to reach out and put the touch on the 36 grandsons and the 205 great grandchildren to help feed his orphans. So, finally, the 36 and the 20S ganged up on the 'old man and they built a six-rail stake and rider fence (6 per cent tax limita tion) about the old home place and told Mr. Omo he would have to take care of his orphans out of what he could raise inside the six- Irail fence and if he ran short he f would have to come and ask them for It, or go without. Well,' Mr. Omo thought that was hanging it on him alter ne naa set all the. kids up but he figured he and his three boys could get along on what they could raise in side their boundary fence, which they did and put money in the bank. aM"HMMM'asMaaMBaaMBaaaiBaHMMaaanaMBnMHMBiBa ' ' UeoDs mi Irflomnies Judge Suspends Fines on Six In Gty Court PORTLAND, March 8-(iip-Six Pyramid club members drew sua pended fines in municipal court today on their pleas of guilty to lottery ordinance violations. Judge John B. Seabrook said the six arrested last night at the Gale E. Mead home in the first lo cal police crack-down on the Pyramid craze probably had no intent to violate the law. He gave suspended fines of $50 each to Mr. and Mrs. Mead and $25 each to four guests who were charged with visiting a lottery. Patrolman Robert Adair, who turned in $2 at the club meeting last night and was told his name would start up the ladder toward an eventual $2,048 payoff, said he got his money back. Social Evening Held The meeting was conducted in accordance with standard proced urea social evening with coffee and cake. "I was a perfect hostess as us ual," Mrs. Mead told the judge. "I served coffee and cake after the arrest as well as before it." Deputy City Attorney Walter Ake said the arrests were made under a city ordinance aimed at cVin letters. He said the Pyramid club principle was the same. Judge Seabrook said arrests would continue in an effort tJ halt the dubs before they become a menace." He took note of the pressmen's strike which has shut down Portland's dally newspapers by remarking that unfortunately many people probably would not learn of the clubs' illegality until police appeared. Bookies Closed Earlier. Charles P. Pray, police chief, said he "understood all the c?!y's bookmaking establishments had been closed" as a result of a state supreme court decision last week declaring their operation il legal. Thursday is the deadline for operation of most punchboards In the city. Refunds will be granted to those with licenses after that time, upon request. Rent Lid Bill Clear in House WASHINGTON, March 8 -Vfh- A 15 - month control extension bill today was cleared for house action later this week. But it was an open question whether the curbs will be renewed before their expiration March 31. The showdown battle in the house is slated to open Thursday, with a final vote on the contro versial measure .likely Friday. This was the legislative procedure approved today by the rules com mittee. But the ultimate fate of the rent control law hinges on the senate's egislative timetable now far behind schedule as a result of the filibuster by southern democrats. and His Large Family As time went on the kids got fat and full of fancy ideas that cost a lot of money so they went back to Mr. Omo and said they had to have a lot more moola to keep them up with the Townsends, and Mr. Omo just grinned and pointed to the six-rail fence and told them to climb over and dig it up on the other side. And that, gentle reader, is what has happened to Mr. Omo and the kids. Right now, he can see in sight during the next two years a little bit better than $15,500,000 he can raise inside the six-rail fence. Then he can pick up from here and there about the place about $26,000,000 more. Then the kids have raised Just over the fence about $43,000,000. Putting it all to gether they can scrape up about $89,000,000 between them to pay fori the upkeep of 'the adopted children and the four old folks still living inside the fence. But that is not enough ( which is what is worrying everybody up around the state house. Regional Planning, for CVA Backed by Nourse EUGENE, March 8 -UP)- Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, President Truman's top economic advisor, told 150 state leaders tonight that any proposal for a Colum-' bia valley authority would re quire cautious study. Answering a question posed by Marshall Dana, of the Ore gon Journal, Nourse said: "I believe that it is a great mistake to think that TV A can be translated altogether into this area or into any other area." Nourse said that TV A was an experimental project which pro bably needs revision. "Consequently,? he declared, "I would say it is necessary first of all to find out what the con ditions are here. We must find what ingredients will fit the situation." Nourse said the resources and people oof the Pacific northwest should be taken into account be Bill Odom Successful In Hawaii-New Jersey Mop By Leonard Leddlnrton TETERBORO. N. J March 8-(P)-Lanky Bill Odom broke the world's non-stop distance record $75 worth of gasoline from Honolulu to Teterboro - - a distance of o, 000 miles. . "It was easy," the clean shaven, immaculately dressed Odom said. He made the remark as he stepped from his single-engined plane for the first time after leaving Hick- am field. Oahu. T. H.. S0 hours before. It was ' Odom's second attempt to come non-stop from Honolulu to Teterboro in his 185-horscpower Beechcraft Bonanza, 'Walkikl Beach." (There are four V-talled Beech craft Bonanzas of the type used by BUI Odom, flying in the Salem area. They belong to ut. a. u. Woodmansee. Lee lyerly, Jack Everlv and Howard Eisman.) Bad weather forced an ena to that first flight in January Odom landed at Oakland. Calif. Odom said ha was interested In a new btiodsi xuani wu unw touchinr at both the North and South Poles. The carrier pilot said he was worried only twice during his grueling solo flight from Hono lulu. Once was when he found ice forming on his wins over the Ttnrkv mountains. The second time was when his engine sud AmnW went dead over Chicago. The Chicago Xnciaent, ne saia. was tne resuii oi an oxiiuaiu cas tank. He said he switched tanka auicklv. fMnm landed with 14 fallons of the original 288 gallons of gas sun in M tank. Three extra tanks had been fitted to the plane. a Forest Road Program Agreed lor Oregon HTLAND. March 8 -CffV A forest highway program fhr Ore gon to cost $3,500,000 has been acreed to by federal agencies and the state highway commission. W. -H. Lynch, public roads ao- minlstration division engineer, said the program is subject to fed eral approval at agency headquar ters in Washington, D. C. What complicates the situation Is that the 36 grandchildren and the 205 great grandchildren have been throwing themselves around. Take the last bunch first. They have spent in the last two years $26,652,441 to run their establish ments, and this year they are cry ing for more. Then take the 36 grandchildren: In the past two years they have spent $28,613,6'4 Just for general running expenses; $75,492,393 for schools; $5,933,840 on roads; $1, 214,404 for Port districts; and $4. 613,308 for miscellaneous pur poses. Altogether they have spent $141,494,388 to keep them going, not counting the odd figures and the fractions. So you can see what Mr. Omo is up against. The kids have fenced him in with the six-rail fence. Then they spend 50.46 cents out of every dollar; for education; 23.76 for county expenses; ,4.59 cents for roads and 20.74 cents out of every ; dollar i for cities and towns. And now they are telling Mr. Omo It Is up to him to figure out some way to lift them out of 1 ' i if PeunsDflDmieirs WM fore any attempt is launched to establish a CVA. Earlier, Dr. Nourse said the primary reason for his visit to the northwest is to make a first hand study of the area involved In the proposed Columbia valley authority. About ten days ago Charles Murphy, executive assistant to President Truman, visited the northwest to confer on proposed CVA legislation. At a meeting in Portland at which a working draft was dis cussed, a board of three direct' ors was mentioned with two named from the region and one at large. They would be named by the president, aand would re ceive a salary of $17,500. The CVA, based along gen 'eral lines of the TV A. would supervise irrigation, power and flood control facilities in the Co lumbia basin. for light planes today by stretching School Board i Calls Again for Bids on Bonds Salem district school board Tuesday night called for bids by April 12 on its sale of a 1 1,600, 000 bond sale for school construc tion purposes. The bond Issue, already ap proved by voters, was delayed last November when the only bid re ceived was considered to have an excessive interest rate and was rejected. A syndicate bidding ask ed Interest at 2 per cent on an nual installments through 1962 and S per cent for the duration of the 20 - year payment period. Under the new call, installments are revised slightly, ranging from $62,000 to $96,000 maturing an nually and maximum interest rate permitted is 4 instead of S per cent. The latter feature, school of ficials pointed out at a board meet ing last night in the administra tion building, might improve the over-all effective interest rate by allowing higher interest to be pre scribed for some periods within the 20' years. The new sale offer alsoeyovides that the school dis trict might call the bonds at any tune alter 10 years. In other action the school board authorized purchase of a new CMC 85 - passenger school bus at dis count price of $6,750 offered by Truck Sales 8c Service Co. of Sa lem, provided financing can be arranged to permit payment after the new budget year begins in July. Transportation Chairman Harry Scott of the i school board said the district now has only one small standby bus and is about due for replacement of two buses and addition of at least one bus to meet school population increase predicted for next year. The board also approved leave of absence for Mrs. Marilyn Wick ert at McKinley school and as signed Mrs. Lorrainne Kent as her substitute; approved use of West Salem school for a non - denom inational religious meeting May 8 as requested by A. F. Lamb: re jected request by Girl Scouts to use . school buses for summer .transportation of 80 girls to a camp near baiem, ; and adopted teacher tenure and probation for next year.
