Roundup Date
Draws Rebuke
At Pendleton
PENDLETON, Ore, Sept 18-ff)
The Pendleton Round-up's experi
ment was a Sunday show and Aug
ust dates likely will not be re
peated, an official - said here to
day. 'Berkeley A. Davis, Round-up
association vice president, told the
Chamber of Commerce that the
earlier dates and the sabbath per
formance likely were responsible
for the low attendance this year,
Members of the chamber said they
likely would recommend to the as
sociation that next year's show be
' held in September, and that there
be no Sunday show. The associa
tion usually follow the wishes of
Pendleton business
Davis said the 1950 show paid
for itself, but did not return
enough to pay anything on a $19.-
467.67 indebtedness for improve
ment and maintenance under way
Since 1944. .
- Pari-mutual racing, also an in
novation this year, operated $521
-in tne red, Davis said.

Man Reports
Key to Bahama
Murder Case
OAKLAND, Calif, Sept It-VP)
-A frightened, 31-year-old ma
chine operator Sunday told Oak
land police he can solve the seven-year-old
slaying of a British
multimillionaire.
Edward Majava told the offi
cers he knows who bludgeoned to
death wealthy Sir Harry Oakes
at the letters Bahama island e
tate in 1943. ,
Majava was arrested on a drunk
charge yesterday. Police described
him as "very sober and very
frightened? today.
The Finnish-born Majava told
them he received a pair of threat
ening phone calls after reportedly
learning the Identity of the Oakes
slayer from an American society
woman in Fort Lauderdale, FUc,
two-years ago.
"Both times a man told me to
keep my mouth shut and get out
of town or else," Inspector
James J. Manginl quoted Majava.
Mangini said the man appeared
pale and shaky but answered
questions rationally. Majava re
fused to talk to reporters and
covered his face with a sweater
when photographers tried to take
his picture.
Oakland - police . withheld the
names of the American woman
and the murder suspect named by
Malava. .
The Oakes slaying, on Nassau,
a British-held Bahama island, re
mains one of the most sensational
unsolved cases in years.
Count Alfred De Marigny, son-
in-law of the murdered baronet
was acquitted In November, 1943,
on charges he clubbed his sleep
ing father-in-law to death and
set fire to the bedclothes.
Brakes Save
Elf stroms from
Falling Tree
Back from a hunting and fish
ing trip Monday. Salem Mayor
Robert L. Elfstrom admitted he'd
had the "closest call" of his life.
He and Mrs. Elfstrom came
within inches of being directly un
der a falling fir tree across the
North Santiam highway near Mar
ion Forks.
The mayor was driving a new
convertible along the highway at
a good clip when Mrs. Elfstrom,
at his side, shouted, "A tree Is
falling." He braked the car so
hard all four wheels locked and
the convertible skidded to a stand
still amidst branches of the 100-
foot dead tree and a huge cloud of
debris raised by the crashing
trunk.
The Elfstroms were unhurt but
the car was considerably dented.
The auto is owned by the Russell
Bones teeles who were following at
the time in the Elfstrom sedan.
The four continued their trip to
Wyoming for opening ot both an
telope and elk seasons.
All four bagged an elk and an
telope each. Between the two sea
son openings they had intended to
fish streams of the Jackson hole
country, but heavy rains kept
their fishing to a minimum.
They were back in Salem Mon
day after the two-weeks outing.

I Stock Market
Skims Gose to
19-Year High
NEW YORK. Sept ls-PV-The
stock market skimmed close to a
19-year high with a small overall
rise today.
In its fifth advance In a row the
market rang up a new four-year
high and fell Just short of the best
average level since 1931.
Issues with a peace flavor, in
stead of many recently popular
war babies, were among the fa
vor! ties. This pattern in the market
was pronounced on Friday fol
lowing news of the successful
landings far behind North Korean
lines by United Nations forces.
Weekend news told of rapid ex
pansion of U. N. beachheads..
Today's rise was the smallest
since the market advanced sharp
ly a week ago and continued to
advance.
A substantial numW nt Ihum
closed with losses. mnt nt thorn
less than $1 a share. Gains ranged
oeyona si.
For the fifth session running
business topped the 2.000.000-
share mark. Sales of 2,040,000
shares compared with 2.410.000
Friday. .
The day started with a buying
rush. Radio-television issues easily
took the lead but the rise bogged
down almost Immediately. After
Jockeying around a bit the market
turned up again and made labored
progress for most of the day. In
terest in TVs died away after
their Initial sprint and in late
trading demand slackened in other
groups. .- ,
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks moved up J2 of one point
to 81.9, a top since May 31, 1940.
The 1946 high in turn is tops since
1931. The rail group on average
toucnea a m-year mgn.

Drop Sharply Union Veterans
CHICAGO. Sept 18 -OP- The
first trickle of new crop soybeans
to show up at terminal markets
helped to send bean futures down
sharply on the board of trade to
day.
At one time losses ran to more
than 6 cents in the bean pit but
a nice rally in the last half hour
cut that decline about in half.
Soybeans set the pattern for the
rest of the market which was off
quiet a bit most of the day only
to recoup some lost ground to
ward tne finish.
Wheat closed 48-1 lower.
Corn 1-1H lower. Oats to
1 cent lower, rye Hi-2V4 lower.
soybeans 3 to 3 lower and lard
10 to 40 cents a hundred pounds
lower.
The bulls In wheat were disap
pointed by failure of Great Britain
to take any cash wheat as has
been expected. According to re
ports, both Canada and the United
States swamped Great Britain on
its call for offers of wheat over
the week end.
