SHAPE Office
Declares 'It's
A Possibility'
SUPREME HEADQUARTERS,
ALLIED POWERS IN EUROPE
(j)-Gen. Eisenhower may make a
flying farewell tour In the next
six weeks to the capitals of the
United States' Europeans allies.
Officers at SHAPE said Saturday
it is a possibility."
Guessing here is that Eisen
hower, a candidate for the Re
publican presidential nomination,
will resign his Supreme Allied
command sometime in late May
and return to the United States.
The general has not been in
some 'capitals of the North At
lantic Treaty Organization since
fie arrived in Europe more than
a year ago to take over as com
mander. If the general does plan to re
sign and go home in late May, he
might use this last tour as a
means of getting the approval of
NATO governments for his re
placement. Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, the
chief of staff most mentioned in
speculation here on Eisenhower's
successor, probably would go with
him.
Gruenther returned to Supreme
Headquarters Saturday from
Washington after testifying before
Senate and House committees on
new foreign aid appropriations.
Gruenther's appearance before
Congress, lik. his appearance in
the same role at a recent confer
ence of NATO ministers at Lis
bon, is interpreted by many as a
deliberate assignment by Eisen
hower to let his candidate for his
own job be seen by the men who
will have to approve him. j
Reports from both Lisbon and
Washington indicated he made
favorable impressions.
It appears a good guess that
Eisenhower will start drafting his
letter of resignation soon to allow
time for President Truman's ac
ptance and th"e approval of the
other 13 governments. .
The President made it clear two
weeks ago that Eisenhower's res
ignation was for the general to
decide and that he would comply
with any request for relief the
general may make.
Superintendent
Of Roseburg
Schools Quits
ROSEBURG (VPaul S. Elliott,
school superintendent here for
eight years, resigned Friday night
as the climax to a long period of
dispute over school affairs.
He said the board "asked me in
nice way to resign and I ac
cepted." Elliott resigned once before
nearly a year ago but the protest
of teachers at a meeting last July
prompted him to reconsider.
This time the board accepted
rid issued a statement saying it
did so "with regret."
Elliott said the board tried to
get rid of him by offering him a
one-year contract at "sub-standard
salary."
Board records show that at Its
March 17 meeting it offered him
a one-year contract at $8,500.
Roseburg has been in the midst
of school growth problems for a
long time and the voters on March
14 approved a $1,425,000 bond is
sue for improvement and expan
sion. Elliott said the board failed to
give adequate thought to improve
ment and was more interested in
saving money.
He came here from Toledo, Ore.,
where he had been principal and
superintendent for six years.

Navy Forced to
Abandon 'Lab'
Plane in Arctic
BARROW, Alaska (JP)-A Navy
"flying laboratory" is to become
a stranded derelict on the Arctic
ice, 700 miles beyond this northern-most
tip of Alaska.
Nine men are stranded with the
damaged plane, but they are re
ported well-equipped to face the
Arctic cold until aid can reach
them.
They are participants in the
Navy's "Operation Ski Jump,"
which has the ice cap at the North
Pole as its ultimate destination.
That is still 400 miles to the North.
Navy officials announced Sat
urday the plane would have to be
abandoned because of the beating
it took in a takeoff attempt.
Meanwhile, three other Ameri
cans rode a floating island of ice
a few hundred miles away in a
separate Air Force Polar opera
tion.
They stayed behind to make
weather and other scientific stud
ies after an Air Force C-47 land
ed on the island March 19 and
took off again a few hours later.
Temperatures in the Polar Re
gion range to 50 and 60 degrees
below zero at this season, and the
sun barely gets above the norizon.
A 10th Rescue Squadron plane
took off from a base near Fair
banks, Alaska, Friday to take sup
plies to the Air Force party. It was
flying to Greenland first and then
will fly over the ice island to drop
supplies to the trio. The island is
closer to Greenland than to Alas
ka. It is only 60 to 100 miles from
the Pole.
The three men are Lt. Col. Jos
eph C. Fletcher, of Shawnee,
Okla.; Capt. Marion F. Brinegar,
Houston, Tex., and Dr. Kaare Ro
dahl, a scientist from Ladd Air
Force base at Fairbanks.
In contrast to the Air Force
party the nine Navy men are. not
sticking to their icebound isola
tion by choice. Repairs were being
rushed on two rescue planes,
which had suffered damage ear
lier. One of them, at Kodiak, was
reported ready.
The stranded plane is a twin
engined Navy R4-D, (a DC-3). As
a result of the damage to the "fly
ing laboratory," Navy officers said
the party's study of Polar Ocean
conditions would be abandoned.
Expedition leaders said other
phases of Polar study would con
tinue, however.
Edith Eversole
Succumbs to
Bullet Wound
A 78-year-old woman appar
ently took her own life sometime
early Saturday morning at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Inez A.
Rosenbaum of 1155 S. 13th St.,
County Coroner Leston Howell
reported.
Edith Jessie Eversole of Nevada
City, Calif., was found dead about
7 a.m. Saturday morning a bullet
hole through the right side of her
head. Coroner Howell said the
wound was self inflicted. A .32
caliber revolver was found near
the deceased.
Among the effects left by the
woman, who had been visiting her
sister for about two weeks, were
two notes directing the disposition
of her effects.
Howell said death came prob
ably sometime around midnight.
Mrs. Eversole was last seen shortly
after 11 p.m. Friday.
Besides Mrs. Rosenbaum, sur
vivors are two other sisters, Mrs.
Agnes Wion of Nevada City and
Mrs. Lucy Gray of Eureka, Calif.,
and a brother, Dwight Kenny of
Portland.

Vital Primary
Races Near
In Midwest
By The Associated Press
Voters have their eyes focused
on Nebraska and Wisconsin and
the nip-and-tuck primaries In
those states Tuesday.
Most eye-catching development
was Sen. Kefauvers challenge to
Sen. Kerr In Nebraska to a winner-take-all
battle for Nebraska Demo
cratic delegates. Briefly, he offered
to let the over-all vote determine
which of the two would get all of
the state's 12 Democratic dele
gates.
This is "the way things shaped
up in the two states:
Kefauver and Kerr battled it
out for the two slates running for
the Democrats 12 delegates. The
Republicans offered Sen. Taft,
Gen. Eisenhower, Harold E. Stas
sen and Gen. Douglas MacArthur
either as avowed candidates or
through pledged d legates.
Heavy Vote Forecast
A heavy vote was predicted as
both sides fought to make the Ne
braska primary a sort of political
weathervane which may influence
the Middle West. But few would
predict the possible outcome.
Taft supporters, working for a
write-in victory which would re
gain some of the prestige he lost
to Eisenhower in New Hampshire
and Minnesota, were hopeful. Eis
enhower backers sought "voter
volui -ers" and said 21,000 of
them could "turn the tide." Stas
sen is due in Nebraska Sunday for
a last-minute drive.
Seek Grand Slam
Kefauver looked for a grand
slam in Nebraska and Wisconsin to
touch off a chain-reaction senti
ment In his favor, particularly in
view of his surprising success In
the two earlier primaries. Kerr
believes he haf an even chance of
capturing the nomination if he
can win in Nebraska.
Wisconsin:
The Republican candidates are
Gov. Earl Warren of California,
Taft and Stassen.
In the democratic race are Ke
fauver and two democratic slates
each claiming to represent Tru
man. The campaign has been one of
the most intensive in state his
tory. It came to a climax with
major appeals from all principal
candidates.
Taft and Warren spoke in Mil
waukee, concentrating on foreign
policy questions. Stassen empha
sized again his offer to turn over
half of the total Wisconsin dele
gates he wins to Eisenhower on
the first ballot. He said he might
do the same thing with his Min
nesota delegates already won.
Warren also made a bid for
Eisenhower supporters, and the tug
of war between the Californian
and Stasf for the General's
backers added new confusion to
the Tuesday election.
Debris Traps
4 Firemen in
Denver Blaze
DENVER (JP) Firemen said that
maybe four firemen were trapped
under nearly 20 feet of debris that
collapsed on a company of fire
men battling a fire in lower down
town Denver early Sunday.
A company normally has six
men. The firemen had been re
roving flaming furniture from the
blaze when an explosion blew out
the whole front of the building and
sent the first and second floors of
the three-story building crashing.
All of Denver's fire fighti .g
equipment was moved into the
area as the blaze threatened to
spread through the entire block of
old buildings. Flames finally were
brought under control.
Firemen brought out a fireman
identified as a Capt. Kinney. He
said before being rushed to Den
ver General Hospital:
"I have just seen a miracle. The
building went poof."
He was trapped under an esti
mated 20 tons of debris for about
one hour.
Firemen were breaking through
a 20-foot wall to reach the trapped
men.
About 70 were sleeping in two
hotels adjoining the furniture store
where the blaze started. Firemen
said they thought all were evacu
ated. Two soldiers, identified as Sgt.
William Smyth and Pfc. Donald
Bowen, hurried through the Com
fort Hotel above the building and
aroused six to eight persons who
were sleeping.
The building housed a furniture
store, where the fire broke out.
Several small hotels and shops
were packed in tightly along the
block. The site is on Larimer St.,
which is known as Denver's "skid-road.'

Lucky Ticket
'Dazes' Hawaii
Trip Winners
(Story also on page one.)
A couple who came to Salem
from Nebraska 16 years ago, and
who celebrated their 31st wedding
anniversary March 5 drew the Sa
lem Downtown Merchant's Asso
ciation's most sought after prize
Saturday a 10-day trip to Haw
aii. But neither Mr. and Mrs. Emll
Drees, who live two miles south of
Liberty really believed they'd win
the trip.
"I've heard of it happening to
other people, but never to us,"
Mrs. Drees said, dazedly holding
the lucky ticket drawn from the
cement mixer Saturday by Mayor
Alfred Loucks.
She told John Adlon, president
of the association and William
Hammond, chairman of the prizes
committee, that she and her hus
band had 480 tickets in the con
test, most of which came from the
purchase of a washing machine
and refrigerator.
Mrs. Drees said that the three
hours or so she spent writing their
name on the tickets was all worth
while.
Drees is a carpenter. Two mar
ried sons and four grandchildren
all live in the Keizer area.
Neither have been on any ex
tensive trips, other than going to
Nebraska several times since
they've lived in Salem.
The news came while the couple
was finishing dinner with old
friends from Nebraska. Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Sheffield, as their
guests.
Mr. and Mrs. Drees will leave
for Hawaii as soon as arrange
ments can be completed, they said.
Their prize entitles them to a
round trip via United Air Lines.
They will stay at the Moana Hotel
in Honolulu, be given free air and
motor trips throughout the Islands
and all expenses paid.
Filing Deadline
Tuesday for
City Positions
Filing for City of Salem offices
in the May 16 election will close
Tuesday at the recorder's office in
City Hall, with a large field of
candidates already assured.
Filing procedure had been com
pleted by Saturday by most of the
men who earlier took out petition
forms and signed their intention
of running for city office.
Petitions were not back yet from
Kenneth V. Lottick, alderman
candidate.
Candidates may file both their
intention and their completed pe
titions in the same day; as late as
Tuesday.
The complete lineup so far, in
cludes: For mayor, Edward Randle and
Alfred Loucks, incumbent; treas
urer, Paul Hauser; judge, Douglas
Hay; for aldermen Ward 1, E. W.
Acklin and James Nicholson, in
cumbent; Ward 3, Clayton Jones,
Claud Jorgensen, incumbent, and

Said in Line
For State Job
Sagle Nishioka, SO - year - old
Japanese - American war veteran
whose name was passed over by
the State Tax Commission, will
probably get a Job if he applies
again.
Jason Lee, personnel director
for the income tax division, who
has charge of the hiring for that
division, said Saturday he would
recommend Nlshioka's emp 1 o y
ment if his name is submitted
again by the Civil Service Com
mission. Lee was quoted Saturday as say
ing, "I vigorously resent every in
ference that I have at any time
opposed the employment of Sagie
Nishioka. I will employ him as
soon as I have been authorized to
do so."
The Tax Commission passed
over Nishioka's name when it was
submitted by the commission. W.
E. Kimsey, state labor commis
sioner, said the Tax Commission
was within its right In passing
over Nishioka s name, but this be
cause a violation of the fair em
ployment practices act when Ray
Smith, chairman of the Tax Com
mission, admitted that his action
was based on Nlshioka's national
ity. Had the commission passed over
the young Japanese for any other
good reason, Kimsey said, there
would have been no protest of its
action by his department.

Would Oregon's delegates to the Republican National Convention

And if and when the delegates were so released, for whose

WASHINGTON UP) - President
Truman announced Saturday night
he will not be a candidate for re
election. He electrified the annual Jefferson-Jackson
Day dinner at the na
tional guard armory by declaring:
"I shall not be a candidate for
re-election."
"This breaks our hearts," said
Attorney General McGrath when
newsmen asked him for comment.
Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn.), a
strong administration supporter,
said he had expected the an
nouncement "for a long time, but
I didn't look for it tonight."
Humphrey added that the Presi
dent's action "had opened up the
picture to a number of good presi
dential possibilities."
Blasts GOP
In his speech the President lam
basted the Republicans as "fakers"
and phony propagandists, indicat
ing he will be on the hustings to
campaign for the man the party
nominates to succeed him.
But the President did not give
the nod, in any public way at
least, to Gov. Stevenson or any of
the other men called possibilities
for the nomination.
Reached after his startling an
nouncement, Mrs. Truman, walk
ing behind the President, wat
asked:
"Are youlhappy over that de
cision?" She turned, and with a smile,
said:
"Of course, anything he says
goes."
Presidential secretary Joseph
Short later told reporters Truman
decided "about a week ago" to
make an announcement to the din
ers. The electrifying tidings touched
off an immediate middle-of-the
night scurry among other Demo
crats for the top spot on the Dem
ocrat's 1952 ticket.
Truman publicly gave his sup
port to no one, apparently throw
ing the race wide open.
Supporters of two avowed can
didates. Sens. Estes Kefauver of
Tennessee and Russell, promptly
stepped up their campaigns.
Truman's announcement came
with dramatic suddenness near the
end of his broadcast and televised
speech in which he predicted the
Democrats would win this year
despite what he called a holier-than-thou"
campaign by the Re
publicans on the issues of corrup
tion and communism.
Lots of Speculation
The announcement climaxed
months of speculation during
which newsman and political fig
ures had tried repeatedly and
without success to learn his po
litical intentions.
Nonetheless Truman's reception
at the big dinner even before the
announcement that took most of
the crowd by surprise was less
enthusiastic than he has received
at similar dinners in the past.
Others at the dinner Vice Pres
ident Barkley among them drew
louder applause.
Sen. Hoey (D-NC), a Russell
supporter, said of the announce
ment: "I am strongly in favor of lt and
I heartily commend the President.
I am glad he did not wait any
longer. This gives us three months
to survey the situation and ap
praise the candidates who are in
tho picture."
Rep: Cooley (D-NC):
"It was a great surprise."
The President's statement ap
parently took his own staff of aids
completely by surprise. Secretaries
William D. Hassett and Joseph
Short were sitting at a table just
below the President Hassett told
a reporter it was news to him
and that he believed it was to all
the President's staff.
Russell Convinced
Sen. Russell of Georgia, an an
nounced candidate for the nom
ination, said he had been con
vinced for a long time that the
President would not run for re
election and had been saying so
at his own news conferences.
"I hope that it means a free
convention," Russell said.
Sen. Edwin Johnson (D-Colo)
commented:
"We will have to credit the
President with wisdom and cour
age. It took a great deal of courage
for him to make his statement but
if he had made up his mind lt was
a good thing for the party for him
to do lt at this time.
"Now well have a real scram
ble.' Sen. Connally (D-Tex) said "the

sought answers in a current-opm-
ion poll conducted among the 50
persons running for the 10 state-at-large
GOP delegate seats and
the six running for the two first
district GOP delegate seats.
The results thus far show that
21 of 25 reporting candidates feel
they should vote for the state's
preference until and unless he re
leases them.
And they show that of the 25
candidates, 14 favor the nomina
tion of Gen. Dwight Eisenhower,
two Gen. Douglas MacArthur, two
Sen. Robert Taft and one. Gov.
Earl Warren. Six would name no
preference, but one of these six
predicted that "Eisenhower will
get as many votes in our primary
as all the other candidates com
bined." For second choice, Taft won
four endorsements; Warren and
Harold Stassen three each; Eisen
hower two; MacArthur and Paul
Hoffman one each. One candidate
wrote Warren or MacArthur and
another Warren or Stassen, in re
gard to second choice.
One of the candidates who said
he Would not feel bound to stay
with the state's presidential choice
until formally released declared
that "I am the judge of the time
when I should shift my vote to
another candidate. I certainly
would not stick by a losing candi
date if I thought a better one was
available." (His first two choices
were Taft and MacArthur).
Another said he did not inter
pret the state law (which says
delegates shall do their "utmost"
for the state's presidential choice)
to mean he had to wait until he
was formally released that "ut
most" meant only so long as the
preferred candidate had "a rea
sonable chance."
Further results of the poll, still
incomplete, will be analyzed and
presented in subsequent issues of

Posse Holds

Twenty-eight members, with

their annual Ladies Night banquet
Saturday night at the Marion

another candidate who will win in
November."
Truman delivered his strenuous
blast at the opposition before more
than 5,000 politicians who paid
$100 a plate to crowd into the
National Guard Armory for a Jefferson-Jackson
Day dinner. It was
one of the year's top Democratic
rallies.
Replies to GOP
To Republican taunts about cor
ruption in government, the Presi
dent replied that Democratic ad
ministrations have battled for
years to "keep the special inter
ests from robbing the public." But
most Republicans, he said, side
with the special interests.
Some of Truman's principal foes
from the South were notable by
their absence. Including Gov.
James F. Byrnes of South Caro
lina and Sen. Byrd of Virginia. On
the other hand Sen. Russell of
Georgia, candidate for the presi
dential nomination, was there, as
was Sen. George of Georgia.
The President ate at one head
table and then moved to another
at the opposite end of the huge
hall in preparation for delivering
his address. He drew a round of
applause as he walked along to the
tune of "Hail to the Chief."
Newsmen thought the vice presi
dent, Alben W. Barkley, got more
applause as he exchanged seats
with the President. The orchestra
greeted Barkley with "My Old
Kentucky Home."
Truman let fly with a counter
attack on the issues of corruption
and communism in government
He said that on both the Repub
licans will try to fool the voters
with a "white is black" type of
campaign.
The real test of who opposes
communism and corruption, he
said, is who votes against them
not just who talks against them.
Truman declared that govern
ment morality involves more than
just an absence of wrongdoing
"it means a government that Is
fair to all."
"I think it is just as Immoral for
the Congress to enact special tax
favors into law as it is for a tax
official to connive in a crooked tax
return. It is just as immoral to
use the law-making power of the
government to enrich the few at
the expense of the many as lt is to

7,000 Troops
To Take Part
In Atom Tests
LAS VEGAS, Nev. fP-Seven
thousand officers and enlisted men
from all brc vies of the yervice
will take part In forthcoming exer
cises at the Atomic Energy Com
mission's Nevada provine pround,
the Department of Defense an
nounced Saturday.
Tnctical employment of weapons
will be included In all nh of
Army training, one phase of which
will be simulated atomic warfare,
the announcement said.
This rrrks a step forward over
the tests of last fall in which, so
far as Is known; troops acted only
as observers.
In the new series, scheduled to
start In early April, troops will
prepare and occupy predetermined
positions of safety before the
blasts, and afterward will "attack
an objective near ground zero."
Ground zero is the point directly
under ah air burst
The tests are also to indoctrin
ate units and individuals in the
deployment of atomic weapons and
physical protective measures.
The Army will furnish two bat
talion combat teams and support
ing service troops and observers
totaling 4,500 men. Elements will
come from the 82nd Airborne Di
vision, 1st Armored Division and
the 31st and 47th Infantry Di
visions. Some of these are now
participating in "Operation Long
Horn" in Texas.
From the Navy and Marines will
come observers and two Marine
battalion combat teams, totaling
2,100 men. The Marines will be
from Camp Pendleton, Calif., and
Camp LeJeune, N. C.
The Air Force will provide two
flight units and observers, 500 in
all, from the special weapons com
mand at Kirtland Air Base, Al
buquerque. Civil defense officials and news
men will be permitted to watch at
least one of the tests, which it is
understood are primarily for train
ing purposes rather than experi
mental.
