'tKDijjQ In the early summer . Gov. Thomas E. Dewey announced he would retire from public office at the end of his current term as governor of New York state. Yielding to pressures which, have been building up in recent weeks be has now witdrawr his with drawal and declares he will stand again as candidate lor the office holds. Needless to say his declaration gives heart to the re publican -party in his own state and will be a tonic nationally. As the national standard-bearer .in 1948 and 1944 Tom Dewey is more than a state firure. he is a man writs n nation-wide following. It is conceivable that pressures mftrVit build uo that will make him withdraw his renunciation of another candidacy for president - hut that is a matter for the future. ' i . Gov. Dewey says that what has fndured him to stay in politics i the international situation. It is indeed grave. Our line in Ko rea has been breached in fierce f iehtinz. A Russian plane evi- dentlv car a hostile mission has been shot down by U. S. naval forces. : We face further tough fighting in Korea and possibly the involvement of otner powers on the side of North Korea. The republican national com mittee. in command of the Taft -. forces, has chosen to explpit in its campaign the defaults and de " ficiencies of the democratic ad- : ministration in its handling of . foreien affairs. The opening . is there: it is wide and Inviting.' - ; But exploiting it "Is also dan gerous.

Madsen I Farm Editor, The Statesman STATE FAIRGROUNDS, Sept 5 Mrs. Joe Hiebenthal of Dallas route 1 was named Queen of the Kitchen at the Oregon state fair to day. To win the title; Mrs. Hiebenthal had 23 entries all baked on her wood stove at a typical Polk county But there weren t any prunes on our trees this year, - so I had more time to bake," Mrs. Hieben thal exclaimed. Of her 23 entries, II were firsts; eight were seconds and but two were thirds. At a ceremony at 3 o'clock this afternoon, she was pre sented with an electric mixer from Douglas Yeater, Salem appliance dealer. Bill Phelps in charge of press activities at the fair made the presentation in the absence of Yeater. He was assisted by Gladys TurnbuU, superintendent of the culinary department at the fair. Practice the Thing - The Queen of the Kitchen said she did not win her title by being a domestic science graduate. She learned her cooking ability through practice first under her mother and later for her husband and two boys. i The 1950 queen takes the title from Mrs. O. W. Olson,' Silverton, who received national recognition when she won hers two years ago. Mrs. Olson was out again this year but with a much smaller showing. Proving she had not lost her abi lity, however, she took a first on her nut bread which figured pro minently in her title winning two years ago. Janet Ellwert, 17, Sher wood, placed second in top cooks, with Mrs. Olson third. Wipper Wins Trophy Highlight in the livestock divi sion was the awarding of the gold sheep bell trophy which this year went to Karl Wipper of Turner on his pen of four lambs. Last year's winner was Eldon Riddle, with other past winners including Clan de Steusloff, M. O. Pearson and Gath Brothers. Eight different groups competed for the trophy today. ; Another big event in the live stock show rings today was the selection of county herds in both Jerseys and Guernseys. In the for mer Linn county tierd ,won top place, followed by Marion, with Clackamas in third. Clackamas county placed first in Guernsey county herds, with Polk second and Tillamook, third. t (State fair stories also on pages 2 and 7.) Max.

Sept 5-WV Russia today assailed as "provoca tive" a United States report that a Soviet lieutenant was part of the crew of a plane shot down off Korea after attacking a United Nations air patrol. The report was laid before the security council by Chief UJS. Delegate Warren R. Austin, who said he had no information beyond the fact that the plane bore the Soviet Red Star and that a des troyer had picked up the body of a Soviet officer. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Jakob A. Malik listened impassive' ly as Austin read the report He said nothing at first but later in the session after a procedural wrangle he made his brief refer ence to the plane incident Did Not Deny Report Malik did not deny the report, but called it a "provocative state ment made by Gen. MacArthur and the war department" to cover up the efforts of the United States to expand the Korean war by bringing in troops from other countries. Malik said this is "one of a ser ies of provocations" especially ar ranged for this meeting. "The sea was chosen to conceal the sharp corners of the incident," he said. This report like other moves of the United States, Malik said, is designed "to hide the aggression of President Truman and to lead other countries into the conflict." Cited As Example The report said that a twin engine bomber, identified only by a Red Star, opened fire on a Usi, fighter patrol and was shot down off the west coast of Korea Sept 4. Austin cited this as another ex ample of the type of incident which the nited States hoped to curb by its resolution calling upon all countries to use their influence to localize the Korean conflict. He indicated the nited States was much more concerned about what is now going on in Red China, especially in Manchuria which lies along the northern borders of Korea. Austin said the countries fight ing against North Korea want to restore peace in the area but "some of the actions of the Soviet repres entative in the course of the last weeks have raised doubts in our minds whether he supports this objective. Movement Disturbing "The Soviet ruling circle seems to have been doing its best to in crease tension between the Chin ese communist authorities and those members of the United Na tions who are acting together to repel aggression in Korea," Austin said. "I might note in this connection that the United States government has been disturbed recently by re ports of substantial rail and road traffic in that area of North Korea which is adjacent to the Manchur- ian frontier. A report by Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur Saturday indicated like concern. It said in the enemy rear areas a large troop concentration was reported near the Northeast ern border of Korea indicating possible recruitment of Koreans from Southeastern Manchuria. MORSE LEAVES FOR CAPITAL UJS. Sen. Wayne Morse, who had planned to enter horse show com' petition all week at the state fair. will fly back to Washington, D.C, today to attend meetings of the senate armed forces committee the rest of this week. GoaTse to the Grwrti of OrtjM Marines Stir Over Truman 'Slap9 WASHINGTON, Sept 5 -WV President Truman today drew a storm of bitter protest from Ma rine veterans groups and senators by charging that the marine corps has a "propaganda -machine that is almost equal to Stalins'" The marine corps league called the statement an "insult" and de manded a public apology. The marine corps reserve of ficers association said it felt he statement must have been a "monumental misunderstanding" on the part of Mr. Truman. The argument was touched off by a couple of innocent looking little letters in small type, tucked away in the back of the "Congres sional Record." One was from Rep. McDonough Dewey Bid Primary (Results By The Associated Press Veteran U. S. Senator Pat McCarran grabbed an early lead today in Nevada's democratic senatorial With one fourth of the precincts counted, McCarran had 3639 votes; George Franklin, jr.. Las In Utah's -epublican primary i Wallace F. Bennett Salt Lake City businessman won the sena torial nomination. With 336 precincts of 954 pre cincts in, Bennett had 10,809 com pared to 2809 for Rue L. Clegg, Salt Lake City attorney and state senator. Clegg conceded at this point Bennett will try to unseeat Democratic Senator Elbr-t Thom as who has no primary opposition. The voting in Utah and Nevada for senate, house and statehouse nominees had to share the polit ical spotlight with convention-eve maneuvering in nationally-significant New York state, i , The New York maneuvering, all gen -rally related to Republican Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's decision run again, was in preparation for conventions opening today. TLe republicans go into session at Saratoga Springs. The democrats open up at Rochester with pros pects of a slam-bang fight over an opponent for Dewey. Less than 24 hours ahead of convention opening time, about the only thing the New York dem ocrats appeared to have settled was the senatorial nomination. In cumbent Herbert H. Lehman seemed sure of that" On the governorship issue, re gional chiefs were, split wide apart The marching and counter-mar ching kept right up through Tues day afternoon, with an apparent advantage for Rep. Walter A. Lynch of the Bronx. Extradition Papers For Pinson Signed PIERRE, S. D Sept 5 -MP) Extradition papers were . signed by Gov. G. T. Mickelson today to get Oregon convict John O. Pinson- back to the prison from which he escaped May 29, .1949. Pinson was arrested in the South Dakota state capitol build ing Aug. 28.

Mr. Truman's reply, dated Aug. 29: "My r Dear Congressman Mc Donough: I read with a lot of in terest your letter in regard to the marine corps.. For your, informa tion the marine corps is the navy's police force and as long as I am president that is what it will re main. They have a propaganda machine , that is almost equal to Stalin's. "Nobody desires to belittle the efforts of the marine corps but when the marine corps goes into the army it works with and for the army and that is the way it should be. Shades primary.

The announcement putting into cold figures the fast expansion of American defense, may. mean a raise in the authorized 1950 draft totals. Here is why: Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey has stated he is au thorized to draft 185,000 in the last four months of this year. Sep tember and October calls totalled 100,000 for the army. The Increas ed call for November will leave a margin of only 15,000 for the December draft, but the president can increase the authorization. Mi litary officials believe that such a year-end increase is likely. The planned army builtup to meet Korean war needs and the overall expansion program now be fore Congress calls for an army strength by next June of 834,000. The army is considering con gressional proposals that the up per age limit for the draft be lifted to 35. Local draft boards are now selecting single men 19 through 25, who are not World War II veter ans. , , 1 The army is meeting its immedi ate manpower requirements by a gradual call up of reserves and the national guard. Four guard divisions and two guard regimental combat teams go into camp this month. The divi sions are the 28th from Pennsyl vania, the 40th from California, the 43rd from Connecticut Rhode Island and Vermont, and the 45th from Oklahoma. . - 1 .: 1- Teachers Prepare tor Classes 1 V 3.
