- When the Duke of Windsor was
Prince of Wales he was a veritable
globe-trotter. He was Britain'
best salesman in the period be
tween the wars. He made friends
for the home country and the
royal house .both in Common
wealth countries and colonies but
in foreign nations as well. King
George has no son to take the
title of Prince of Wales, but his
daughter, the heir presumptive to
the throne, is doing her part both
to give peoples in the far-uung
outposts of empire a signt ana a
touch of royalty and to acquaint
herself with the peoples and the
lands over which some day she
will reign.
Last year in company with her
Husband tne uuxe 01 rmourg,
the princess made the tour of
Canada." with a side trip to Wash
ington. Now the couple is getting
ready to set out on a mucn longer
journey. They will fly to Kenya
in Africa which Britain is trying
to develoD as a military and eco
nomic base. Then they will take
the ship Gothic at Mombassa and
sail for Australia and New z.ea
land. Later, if King George is well
enough the king and queen and
the princess and duke will visit
South Africa.
The liner Gothic has been pret-
' tied up to serve as the houseboat
of royalty. It has been painted all
white, and refitted at a cost of
nearly half a million dollars. The
funnel of the ship was raised six
feet the better to keep smoke out
of the eyes of the famous per
sonages on board. For escort, snips
from British, Indian, Ceylon, Pak
istan and Australian navies will
accompany the Gothic.
It will be quite a treat for the
Australians and New Zealanders
to see their princess. Though
these neoDle "down under" some
times chafe under the invisible
leash that holds them to the Com
monwealih, when royalty comes
they are all loyalists, lor tne
Crown is the symbol that binds
the self-governing dominions to
the motherland.
When Prince Edward was mak
ing the rounds he was regarded
as something of a drummer to
spur the sales of British goods.
Princess Elizabeth is on no mer
cantile errand. Hers is the mis
sion of keeping knit in the Com
monwealth the great self-govern
ing dominions so that the old
empire may suffer no more
shrinkage. Judged by the success
of her visit to Canada she will be
as winning in her way as Edward
was in his.
Iran Accepts
American Offer
Of$24MiUion
TEHRAN, Iran (JP) Premier
Mohammed Mossadegh announced
Sunday Iran's acceptance or a
million dollar American aid pro
ject under President Truman's
Point Four program for technical
assistance to underdeveloped coun
tries.
Iranian Cabinet approval of
working agreement for the coming
year ended more than a month
of negotiations marked by Iran's
hesitation to accept commitments
which might bind it too tightly to
the West in the current East-West
etrueele.
Iran, despite mounting internal
troubles arising out of nationaliza
tion of oil, has tried to steer a
middle course in the divided
world.
Mossadegh's government is at
tacked by both political extremes,
the outlawed but active Comma
nist Tudeh Party and the terror
ist Fedayan Islam. The latter has
been blamed for the assassination
of the late Premier All Pazmara
and other killings.
Fedayan Islam's second in com
mand, Seid Abdul H ossein; threat
ened at a news conference Sunday,
"We will kill Mossadegh if our
leader, Navab Safavi, is not re
leased "from prison immediately .'
Safavi was imprisoned early this
month by the government on un
disclosed charges. His hundreds of
followers have been demanding
his release.

nas said he will make his position, known around Feb. 1. -
But in a radio Interview Mrs. Kefauver made It clear the Ke-
fauvers have their eyes on the White House. She added, however,
that "there are so many angles" that if still "hard to say" what might
happen. f i
Even the four children, ? she said, have been talking about how
life would be at the White House, with a swimming pool and a big
oacK yara. ,
Asked in the radio interview what the senator's strongest politi
cal philosophy was, she said she had anticipated the question and had
asKed him lor an answer at breakfast.
"It wasn't the right time or place, she said ruefully. "I don't
think I received an adequate answer. But i would say his dominant
goal is to help establish lasting world peace.'
She said the senator undoubtedly would campaign in his famous
coonskin cap which he wort in his successful senatorial campaign.
"People expect it," she said. "It's an emblem, a good luck piece,
a sort of symbol."
Hatfield Sees Oregon
As GOP Battleground
Nearly all the Republican candidates for presidential nomination
intend to make Oregon's Primary election in May their battleground,
Mark Hatfield, secretary of the Oregon for Eisenhower committee,
indicated Sunday upon his return to his Salem home from the GOP
leaders' meeting at .San Francisco.
. Hatfield said, "Our Eisenhower campaign strategy in Oregon will
be planned in preparation for everybody."
"Rumors that California Gov. Earl Warren and former Gov.
Harold Stassen of Minnesota may file in Oregon were heard con
tinually at the conference," Hatfield said.
Seen at the conference were several Douglas MacArthur buttons
and leaflets espousing his candidacy, Hatfield said. Backers were ap
parently unorganized. But they

Hatfield said.
"The campaign spirit was strong at the conference with hot de-
bate heard on behalf of various candidates, Hatfield said. He re
marked that many fine speeches were given by supporters of all
candidates.
Hatfield and William L.' Phillips, president of Oregon for Eisen
hower campaign, attended the meeting for conferences with Sen.
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, and other leaders of the na
tional campaign. Phillips had gone to Seattle Sunday morning and
was unavailable for comment.
miahoney Lays Plans to
Keep Ike on Demo Ballot
PORTLAND (jPV-State Senator Thomas Mahoney of Portland said
legal action might be taken, if necessary, to get the name of Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower on the Oregon Democratic presidential primary
ballot
He told a reporter Sunday it
Newbry, secretary of state, would accept petitions with 1,100 signa
tures of Democrats entering Eisenhower.
The Signatures were collected and filed before Eisenhower said
he was a Republican. "In the event
legal action may be necessary to
on the Oregon Democratic primary ballot," Mahoney said.
Newbry said Saturday that Oregon law apparently would not per
mit Eisenhower's name to appear on the ballots of both parties in the
Oregon primary.
That would mean that Elsenhower's name would hot be on the
Democratic ballot since the General already has publicly declared
himself a Republican.

Start of UMT
Said 'Simple'
WASHINGTON (JP) Chairman
Vinson (D-Ga) of the House
Armed Services Committee said
Sunday it would be "relatively
simple" to get universal military
training underway on a limited
scale.
If Congress were to accept the
proposal now under study, he said
in a statement, the Defense De
partment could get the program
running within six months.
Endorsements of the plan came
during hearings held by the com
mittee last week. The group will
resume the taking of testimony
Monday with opponents of UMT
on tap.
The plan calling for the Army
to train 30,000 men yearly, the
Navy 14,000, the Air Force 13,250
and the Marines 2,750-has been
okayed by members of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff.

WASHINGTON OP) President
Truman unveils Monday his an
nual budget, generally expected to
ask Congress to provide about 83
billion dollars in new funds for
the fiscal year starting July 1.
As is customary, Mr. Truman
will not deliver the bulky' mes
sage in person. Portions of it will
be read by clerks in the i House
and Senate. It normally runs to
1,000 pages or so.
1 A reauest for 83 billion, dol
lars would s be about 10 billions
less than Mr. Truman sought, for
the present fiscal year,
i Spending., however, .probably
will nnv, considerably higher than
the budget figure. This is possible
because tha . government, partic
ularly the armed forces, has some
70 billion dollars on hand which
Congress appropriated in previous
yean.

Jobless Men
Cut County's
Wood Supply
Jobless men have cut more than
a year's supply of wood for Mar
ion County in the past two months,
the County Court said Saturday.
This program, revived for the first
time since depression days, kept
more than 50 men off the welfare
rolls.
The court said that, during the
two months of 1951 that the proj
ect operated, 172 men applied at
the county welfare office for as
sistance. Of these, 132 were sent
to the county court for referral to
the wood lot, and 57 took the Jobs.
The men cut, through Dec. 31,
about 400 cords of wood, for
which they received $7 per cord.
The Courthouse and county shops
burn approximately 250 cords per
year.
Supervision is done by men al
ready on the county payroll, at
slack time for their regular jobs.
Generally in charge is Harvey
Girod, county road supervisor,
with Clair Harvey as foreman.
Experience has shown that men
who don't take the county up on
this "pay for work" deal don't
usually return to the welfare of
fice to ask for a direct money
grant. The County Court also is
satisfied with the project, in get
ting return of services for expen
diture from the budget.
Co-ed Acclaimed
For Proficiency
As Bull Fighter
EL PASO. Tex. (JP) Patricia
McCormick, who was a co-ed just
brief weeks ago, fought her first
nrofessional bull fight Sunday.
Her skill and courage in killing
a fast charging black and white
bull brought her the bull s two
ears, cheers and "oles" from the
crowded Plaza de Toros in Juar
ez, across the Rio Grande from
here.
Working on drenched shortly
before by a rainstorm, the blonde
tor era passed the bull so closely
that her trousers were smeared
with blood from the attacking ani
mal.
The blue-eyed 22-year-old girl
left her studies at Texas western
College here this fall to devote full
time to bull fighting.
An 83 billion dollar budget
would mean a deficit of some 14
billion dollars for the next fiscal
year unless Congress votes the new
tax increase Mr. Truman has pro
posed. There seems little likelihood that
it ; wilL He has asked for about
five billions in new revenue,
which would do no more than re
duce ' the size of tha prospective
deficit.
Officials have indicated that the
budget will include about 51
billion dollars for the armed
forces, and perhaps eight billion
dollars to continue foreign aid pro
grams; with their heavy emphasis
on 'building up the military
strength of this nation's allies.
Senator. McMahoo (D-Conn.),
chairman of the Senate -House
Atomic- Energy Committee, has
also said the-President will call
for a "real expansion of the na
tion's atomic program.
About a billion dollars a year
is now beins; spent on the atomic
program.

The Falls City-Valsetz road was
closed by slides most of the day
Sunday with three big snow-
slides, residents of the area said.
Three families in autos were
stranded for several hours before
rescued by workmen with road
clearing equipment. No injuries
were reported.
Two to three inches of snow
were reported in the Aurora
Canby areas and at Albany. Dallas
reportedly had one to 2 inches.
Salem weathermen recorded about
one-half inch.
Total precipitation figure for
Salem in the 24 hours to 10:30
p.m. was .49 inch.
State police said Illihee Hill,
south of Salem on 99-E, caused
trouble for trucks and autos un
til sanding operations by State
Highway Department crews were
completed.
No serious accidents were re
ported by State or city police in
spite of hazardous roads and street
conditions. City police said "few
more than usual" motorists came
to the station to fill out state ac
cident report forms.
Fender-scraping episodes in dia

were noted as cars slipped side
ways with spinning wheels along
side their neighbors.
At 7 p.m, during the height of
early evening snowfall, one down

stalling chains on two cars jacked
up on grease racks, one on a oort

Wind Rolls Up
Snoicballs in
East Oregon
ONTARIO, Ore. (P)-"When resi
dents of this Eastern Oregon com
munity woke up Sunday morning,
they thought snowballs had fallen
from the sky during the night.
Snowballs, ranging from base
ball to basketball size covered the
area. L..A. Bailey, CAA weather
observer on night duty at the On
tario Airport said he saw the
snows form.
The ground was already cov
ered with snow when warm winds,
gusting at 40 miles an hour, hit
the area. The rising temperature
made the snow sticky and the wind
rolled up the snowballs, he said.
The wind obscured the tracks of
the snowballs in most instances.
They led many people to think the
snowballs had failed from the
heavens.

U.N. Admits
Possibility of
Air Violation
MUNSAN, Korea (P-The U. N.
Command said Monday Allied
planes may have hit a Red truce
convoy last Friday when they
bombed and strafed a highway
bridge northwest of Kaesong.
The Allied message said four
planes roared down in a 20 minute
attack Friday afternoon on Com
munist crews repairing the bridge
and against nearby anti-aircraft
guns.
It quoted the pilots as saying no
vehicles were sighted in the vi
cinity during the attack. If any
weer hit, the Allied message said,
they must have been stationary
or in shadows.
The Allies accused the Reds of
running more than the one south
bound convoy permitted daily. It
said a convoy had been sighted
three hours earlier near the
bridge.
The Allies said, however, that if
the Red convoy was hit, "the
United Nations Command regrets
that through mischance a convoy
suffered damages as an incidental
result of a pre-scheduled attack
on fixed targets on and near the
highway.
"The convoy itself was not at
tacked. All pilots of the United
Nations Command have been
thoroughly briefed that they are
to attack and destroy only those
venicies on the Pyong-yang-Kae-song
Highway which are not in
cluded in the authorized daily
convoy in each direction.
The Communists had protested
that an authorized convoy of one
Jeep and two trucks was attacked.
North Korean Col. Chang Chun
San, who received the Allied re
ply from a liarson officer, said he
was not completely satisfied and
asked that witnesses from tne
convoy be heard at a meeting
Tuesday.
The Allied liaison officer agreed
to the meeting.
The truce talks wound through
another session without progress.

McCHORD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. (JP) A B-17 mercy piano
homeward bound from a search mission crashed on an Olympic
Peninsula peak Saturday night, but five of its crew escaped alive
Three were dead or missing. h i
The big four-engine search and rescue plane clipped the top of
6,359-foot Mt. Tyler during a blinding snowstorm. . -:,
The ship catapulted over the
mountain and skidded through
the snow down to the 5,000-foot
level where it burst into flames.
The eight crewmen crawled
from the wreckage or were
thrown free.
None Seriously Hart
The five survivors were brought
out by Coast Guard helicopter.
All were taken to a Port Angeles
hospital but none was reported
seriously hurt.
The wreckage was located by
search planes despite foul weath
er. The Air Force B-17 crashed
while returning to its base here
from Sandspit Airport in the
Queen Charlotte Islands off Brit
ish Columbia where a Korean
airlift plane met disaster. Only
seven of 43 persons aboard es
caped alive from the DC-4 after
it pancaked into the sea.
Not Carryinr Bodies
- First reports were that the B
.17 was carrying bodies from the
Sandspit accident back to Mc
Chord but crewmen said this was
not true.
Two of the B-17 survivors suf
fered cuts and bruises. They were
the pilot, Capt. Casimir F. Hybki,
31, Tacoma and the crew chief,
Sgt. Carl E. ScargaU, 22, Tillicum,
Wash. The other three escaped vir
tually unscathed.
Capt. Bybki, interviewed in the
hospital, said "The air was turbu
lent," he said, "tossing the plane
up 700 to 800 feet at times. A
snowstorm prevented us seeing the
mountain.
"There was a blinding flash
we may have hit some trees first-
as the plane crashed.
Capt. Hybki, interviewed in the
thrown out together, bgt. iwigar
Farmer, radar observer. Waynes
boro, Ga., and another survivor,
Set. Charles Hartke, racuo op
erator. Chicaeo. "rode the wreck
age all the way down as it slid
1,000 feet down the peak's far
side," Farmer said.
Had Some Time
The plane caught fire after the
wreckage came to a stop. But the
five men had time to roll out
sleeping bags and emergency
equipment. As a result they spent
the nieht comfortably.
The other survivor was Capt.
Kenneth Wentner, the co-pUot,
Tacoma.
The men on the mountain wait
ed until morning and then lit
flares and smoke bombs to attract
rescuers. v
The five said they never saw
their three missing companions
and could only speculate on
what happened to them. They said
the trio may have been thrown
out when the plane first hit.
It was snowing heavily at the
time and the men could have been
covered by snow, they said. They
also speculated that if the others
escaped alive they' may be wan
dering on the other side of the
mountain.
The Coast Guard helicopter,
after bringing out the survivors.
took four para-medics to the
mountain to continue the search
for the three missing men.
