Commercial You walking up over paint store g VSUEYy Senate Okehs Sherman for Top Navy Post Br Rorer D. Greene WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 The senate confirmed Admiral Forrest P. Sherman as the navy's top admiral today after hearing a republican t demand for the im peachment of Navy Secretary Matthews as "completely incom petent." Sherman, at 53, is the youngest chief of naval operations In Am erican history. He succeeds Admiral Louis E. Denfeld who was fired by Presi dent Truman last Oct 27 at Mat thews' request. The ouster came 14 days after Denfeld had testi fied before the house armed ser vices committee that policies In sisted upon by high officers of the air force and army were weaken ing the navy's striking power. Matthews has denied that Den feld was removed because of his congressional testimony. Sherman was confirmed by a shouted chorus of "ayes." There was little opposition to him in the preceding debate, but Senator Mc Carthy (R-Wis) angrily told his colleagues that if the senate had the right to impeach, then it should impeach Matthews. Senator Holland (D-Fla). acting democratic floor leader, promptly rebuked McCarthy. The Florida senator said It was highly improper" for a -member of the senate, who would sit as a judge in any impeachment action brought by the house, to suggest impeachment and say what the charges would be. Under the UJS. constitution, the house has the sole power to origi nate an impeachment. The senate sits as the trial board. McCarthy listed four counts In his impeachment demand against Matthews: 1. "Untruthfulness" before a senate committee. 2. "Completely incompetent to perform the duties of the secretary i of the navy. . I navy. 4. Enforcing "a new and dan gerous rule" which McCarthy said means that if a navy officer testifies before a congressional committee and tells the truth he must take the consequences. Senator Kem (R-Mo), attacking what he termed the "purge" of Admiral Denfeld, accused the Tru man administration of seeking to "intimidate" military officers who speak out against its policies. - "His ouster was only a part of the calculated pattern of intimi dation," Kem declared. "At any rate it emphasized the extent to which the administration may go to slap down -those who dare op pose it" After 40 years of service, Den feld announced his ' retirement from the navy last week.

Authorities ordered an investi gation of complaints about poor food, clothing bousing and samta tin. They also detained an undis closed number of conscripts and charged them with stirring unrest. Gen. Chen Cheng, commander for southeast China including Formosa, stressed the value of unity. He asserted the communists did not have the shipping for a successful move across the 100' mile-w IB Formosa strait. (The Peiping radio said the communists had captured one of the intervening islands near the mainland which must be taken be fore the invasion of Formosa is attempted. This is Chuanshih, east of the port of Foochow. A broadcast heard at San Francisco said the island fell Jan. 9.) Oregon Town OfTicin River Exists in N.J. If you are looking for Twin River, Ore., you won't find it on a road map, or in the Blue Book, or In the Postal Guide. Youll have to go to a high school classroom in Fair Lawn, N.

Possibly unmindful of Oregon water power suggested by the pro ject city's name, his class would like to know "if we could get gas from another community, bottle it or manufacture it.

HEW TODAY! a Weill ISAX9 lEEUKEZ nrra uu tuxum nmtna 2ND MIGHTY HIT! - Ji t 1 mm JLm New on FEPC Bill - i 24-MV-Southern democrats, assisted by a rules committee action today on practices commission. ' up in the committee and spurred ment, is a cornerstone of Presi- dent Truman's civil rights pro gram. The vote followed a stormy session at which two southerners accused administration democrats of delaying a southern-backed cotton bill in an effort to put pressure on foes of civil rights bills. It was taken behind closed doors, but there was no effort to conceal how the members voted, which was as follows: For approval: Sabath of Illinois. Madden of Indiana, McSweeney Of Ohio and Delaney of New Y6rk, democrats; Herter of Massachu setts, republican. 'Af'Sinct innrnval1 fv nt f!iu-ir- gla, Smith of Virginia, Colmer of Mississippi and Lyle of Texas, democrats; Brown of Ohio, repub lican. Absent: Allen of Illinois and Wadsworth of New York, repub licans. . Both the absentees reportedly are against the bill. Of the other votes, only Brown s surprised observers. The Ohioan had been listed informally as ready to vote to send the bill to the house floor. He told newsmen after today's session that he voted for delay in order to protect his absent col leagues and to "protect Speaker Rayburn, who said yesterday this is not the time to consider this bill." The reference was to Rayburn's refusal to give the FEPC bill priorority yesterday. Rayburn had said the heat engendered by last week's fight over a proposed house rules change left the wrong "at' mosphere" for consideration of the FEPC bill called up again in the rules committee by moving to reconsider today's vote. That means that he can demand another vote when Wadsworth and Allen are present But, since it takes at least seven votes o pry a bill out of the rules committee, it was believed un likely that the bill ever would leave its pigeonhole. In an effort to by pass the com mittee, proponents of the bill, led by Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., (D- lii-rJY), are concentrating on drive for 218 signatures to a dis charge petition. They had 79 this afternoon, but the rush of signers, started yesterday, had slowed down.

Tuesday were "greatly exaggerated," city police reported. But during the six minutes it took to clear the report a lot of people went into action. First aid and patrolmen sped to the scene. the airport was notified and a check to see if a northwest plane was missing got under way. Investigators found the Lamb Scaling Bureau's amphibious craft moored to a raft in the log pond. Co-owners Troy McGowan said it was tugged there Monday night when high water and wind made it impossible to secure it at its usual spot. A passing workman had seen just enough of one wing to think it was wrecked. The tail of the same plane foundered last week when ice collected on it during a storm. Oregon Council Of Churches Pick Giersbach FOREST GROVE, Jan. 24-(P)- The Oregon council of churches tonight reelected Dr. waiter Gi ersback, president of Pacific uni versity, to head the organization for another year.
