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.

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

gress.
When Cain finished, xewer man
20 senators were in their seats.
Cain, giving southern democrats
welcome rest in their long fili

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.

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

world's non-stop distance record
$75 worth of gasoline from Honolulu to Teterboro - - a distance of o,

"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

(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.

time was when his engine sud

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

Earlier, Dr. Nourse said the
primary reason for his visit to

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'

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. (Details on page 2.)
