Many to Observe
Fast Time Anyway
By The Associated Press
Oregon's Gov. Dougloa McKay
Thursday put an end to specula
tion that he might change his
mind about leaving the state on
standard time.
"The incident is closed," he said
on a visit to Portland. "I made
the decision and if the people
don't like it they ought to change
the law."
McKay said he did not believe
he had legal authority to malce
any change from standard time.
"If the people of Portland want
to change their employes' work
ing hours, that is their privilege,"
he said.
Some of them were doing just
that. The Portland city council
ordered its 3,000 employes to work
from 7 a. m. to 4 p. m. and the
county was considering a similar
'Losing' Suitor Blamed
For Tone-Pay ton Suit
LOS ANGEI.ES (JP) Tom Neal returned to the scene of his first
victory for further conquests, Franchot Tone alleged Thursday, laying
the groundwork for adultery charges against his wife, Barbara Pay-
ton.
Tone asserted in a court petition
that his estranged wife and Neal
spent several nights together from
March 27 to April 23 in the same
house where the famed fight over
voluptuous Babs took place be
tween the two actors last year.
The court set May 6 for hearing
on the petition to file a supple
mentary divorce complaint. Miss
Payton's plea for alimony is to be
heard Friday. Tone filed his origi
nal suit last Nov. 20; she cross
complained March 28.
Tone's petition was bolstered by
affidavits from three private de
tectives who asserted they saw
Neal, only partially clad, alone
with Miss Payton in the residence
which she and Tone called home
during their short and stormy mar
riage. ,
Attorney Stanley Gleis, who fil
ed the petition, said the supple
mentary complaint would charge
adultery. He said Tone would vig
orously fight Miss Payton's at
tempts to obtain $1,000 a month
alimony or any part of the mil
lionaire actor's fortune.
Miss Payton's attorney, Milton
Golden, declared Tone's charges
were false.
"If he wants to fight this way,
Barbara will file charges more
serious than adultery," Golden
said.
Tacoma Plane
Crash

Power, Kills 3
TACOMA, Wash. (VA private
airplane crashed through Tacoma's
main power line near the city
Thursday night and fell to the
ground in flames, killing two men
and a boy. A fourth person was
critically injured.
The city of 143,000 was plunged
mto darkness for 16 minutes when
the power line was severed at
7:39 p.m.
The dead were identified as Bill
Jones, 40, his son, Gene Paul
Jones, 7, and Bob Joslyn, 40.
Witnesses said the four-place
Stinson plane was coming in for
a landing at a small private air
port just east of the city limits
when it struck the power line. It
burst into flames and plunged to
the ground, a tangled mass of
wreckage.
Nearby residents pulled the pi
lot, Richard Dexter, 35, a Tacoma
oil distributor, from the wreckage
but were unable ,to help the others
before flames drove them back.
Dexter was taken to Pierce
County Hospital where his condi
tion was described as "extremely
critical" from burns and injuries.

Film Evidence
Fails to Convict
Salem Driver
Motion pictures as evidence
were used for the first time in
Salem, Friday, during a municipal
court trial.
Over the objections of defense
attorney John Steelhammer, Mu
nicipal Judge Douglas Hay admit
ted as evidence for the city, films
taken the night Harvey Albert
Berr, 2875 Evergreen Ave., was
booked on a charge of driving
while intoxicated
Friday afternoon's trial resulted
in a hung jury after an hour's de
liberation. It was not known
whether a new trial would be set.
Objections Entered
Judge Hay said he admitted the
films as evidence after he had
ascertained that Berr had not
been compelled to be a subject.
The movies were taken by city
police personnel and depicted
Berr's reactions to a series of tests
given by police to determine ex
tent of intoxication.
Steelhammer objected to the
admission of the films on the
grounds that it violated constitu
tional provisions which stipulate
that a man may not be compelled
to testify against himself.
Assistant City Attorney T. W.
Churchill, conducting the prose
cution, said movies would be used
in trials "as often as it seems
necessary.
Unprecedented Here
Hay said that while Fridays' ac
tion was unprecedented in Salem,
films and tape recorders have
been used as evidence in trials and
hearings elsewhere.
Police said that the films are
processed entirely by police per
sonnel and therefore it is not
necessary to bring in outside evi
dence to prove that the films
shown to the jury are the same as
those taken by the department.
This would be necessary, a police
officer said, if the films had to be
sent elsewhere to be processed,
and were handled by other
persons.

sue was adopted at a closed ses

ANPA with only four dissenting
votes among the 500 publishers
attending. . "
It challenged any concept thatf
a President of the United States
has an "inherent power" to seize
either the nation's press or radio.
While this action was being
taken here, President Truman
told a White House news confer
ence that the thought of seizing
the nation's newspapers and radio
stations has never occurred to
him.
It is difficult to imagine the gov
ernment taking such a step, Tru
man said.
Charles F. McCahill, of the
Cleveland News, ANPA president,
said Truman's statement Thursday
"does not square" with what he
said last week.
"I don't think he was misquo
ted," McCahill said. "ANPA ad

Flood Crest at
Kansas City
KANSAS CITY Kansas
City stood the strain Thursday as
the upper Missouri River's great
est flood surged pajt on its way to
the sea.
"I'm smiling because it looks
awfully good," said Brig. Gen. Don
G. Shingler of Omaha, Missouri
River division engineer. "But
when the record flood on the Mis
souri is passing your door, and
you're sitting behind dirt, you have
to be watchful."
Less Than 1951
Shingler explained the Missouri
is carrying about 400,000 cubic feet
of water a second much less than
the paralyzing flood of 1951. Last
year the rampaging Kaw (Kansas)
River dumped more than 500,000
second feet into the Missouri at
Kansas City.
That disaster last July caused
almost half a billion dollars dam- j
age in the industrialized bottom- I
land of Kansas City, Kas , and !
Kansas City, Mo.
Crest Moves Down
As the river reached its peak
here, the engineers estimated 572,
000 acres were flooded from Rulo
in Southeastern Nebraska to the
Missouri's mouth above St. Louis.
Along the same stretch about 14,
250 persons had been forced from
their homes.
Far to the east on the flooding
Mississippi, the crest cleared Wis
consin and reached Dubuque, la.
Upstream in Wisconsin the river
was falling.
The little village of Sabula, la.
partly below the river's level
reported "things look much bright
er." The town fought successfully
Wednesday to close a major levee
break caused by three-foot waves.
Y alley Firms
Face Closure
Over Taxes
A half dozen mid-Valley firms
will put up or be shut up today
for non-payment of tax trust
funds to the Federal government,
Paul Lynch, deputy collector of
Internal revenue, disclosed Thurs
day. Two already have been closed
and several more will be affect
ed in the near future, Lynch said,
because they have used for their
own purposes the funds they
withheld from employes for in
come and social security taxes and
on purchases for excise taxes.
Several thousand dollars have
come in to the Internal Revenue
Bureau since the crackdown be
gan, according to Lynch, who
said all firms involved have re
ceived several notices of their de
fault, shown by Portland office
records. He added that the drive
would continue.
Lynch, who will be accompa
nied by other deputies in calls
today on some firms in the Marion-Polk-Yamhill
arear, said the
office already had closed down
the Eldon M. Doty Lumber Co.
at Grande Ronde, which later re
opened after payment of more
than $4,000, and Johnny Foster's

Rebel Cons Yield
Prison Fortress
JACKSON, Mich. fT")-Convict rebels at Southern Michigan Pri
son, their five-day mutiny won, surrendered their fortress cellblock
Thursday. They released eight groggy but unharmed hostage guards.
ine ib mutineers discarded a
ball bats and clubs outside their
cellblock, a monument to the worst
riot ever to sweep a Michigan pri
son. A roaring cheer broke the tense
silence of the vast prison as the
last of the rebels walked out of
Isolation Cellblock 15 with the
guards at 4:47 p. m.
One convict died during the
flaming rampage of 6,500 danger
ous men.
Last Surrendered
Cellblock 15, punishment center
for convicts who break prison
rules, was the first seized and the
last surrendered.
Wives of the long Imprisoned
guards some with babies clutched
in their arms screamed and
sobbed hysterically in a mad dash
into the arms of the freed but
badly shaken hostages.
Warden Julian N. Frisbie, visi
bly torn with emotion and strain.
said the brawling, hot-tempered
Block 15 convicts "wrecked the
place." They had given themselves
until Friday morning to surren
der. But apparently they couldn't
bear the thought of another night
together.
Wreck Penitentiary
Convicts in other eellblocks al
ready had wrecked much of the
vast prison, burning and pillaging
to the tune of two million dollars
in damages.
Gov. G. Menen Williams came
from Lansing to confer with pri
son officials at a state police post
about a half mile from the main
gate.
Explaining his pledge of no re
prisals to the mutinous convicts
in Cellblock 15, Gov. Williams said
they already were on punishment
status to which they would be re
turned and that therefore no fur
ther action need be taken.
Demands granted the rioters
covered such points as alleged bru
tality, lack of proper medical care
and over-rigid administration of
the parole system.
Cons Back Out
Block 15's doors were thrown
open at 4 p.m. on the dot to signal
the end of the mutiny. The rebel
convicts discarded their weapons
as they backed out one by one.
Then they were given a triple
frisk by fellow mutineers, who
searched them carefully for any
concealed weapons.
When all were out, they march
ed into the prison mess hall in
quiet good order for an elaborate
steak dinner, thrown in by prison
authorities as a condition of their
surrender.

High School
Fund Only on
Bond Election
Only new high school construc
tion, costing $4,280,000, will be in
cluded in the Selem School District
bond election June 16. the School
Board decided Thursday. -
The funds will provide a South
Salem High School, on Church
Street south of Leslie Junior High,
with construction probably to start
this summer.
An earlier suggestion to put the
issue at about $5 million to include
some elementary construction was
rejected by the board, on the rec
ommendation of Superintendent
Frank B. Bennett. Elementary
building will continue to come
from serial tax levies already in
effect.
Bennett said that selling of
bonds would not need to start un
til late this year, hence the issue
will have no effect on taxes to be
paid in November, 1952. Bonds
would be sold in lots over the
i construction period of about two
I years, at times when a favorable
: interest rate is available.
It was not settled whether the
i bonds would be retired over 20
or years, lr tne tormer, a max
imum of 6.4 mills would be added
to taxes if the latter, a maximum
of 5.3 mills. The millage would de
cline as the district assessed valu
ation rises, which Clerk Connell C.
Ward said is at the rate of about
a half million dollars annually.
The bond election will be at the
same time as the annual district
election for a member of the board.
The board, in its special session,
also called for bids on a one-room
addition to Middle Grove. School
and the new Rosedale grade school,
with three classrooms and one
multiple purpose room, to be
opened May 27.

Facing Emergency i
He sa:d the country right;

in Korea from being shot in the
back.
And that, he declared, iswhy
he felt it necessary to take over

Truman added mildly that m
Congressional move to impeach
him for seizing the steel mills is
just a political proposition, adding
that he has a pretty good defense.
He said also that he never has

of Truman's statements a boot
Iran were pretty much at odds
with the President himself said,

that he was telling the correspon

He said that in 1948 - at first
he said 1945, then decided it mift

an ultimatum to the head of the
Soviet Union to get out of Iran.
Roger Tubby, assistant Presiden

told reporters:
"The President was using the
