the impulse of a tourist boom.
This item in the news reminds
me of a short stoy written by Sam

Statesman News Service
I N D E P E NDENCE A two-year-old
boy was killed Sunday
morning when he was run over
by a pickup truck as he played in
. the driveway of the Gene McCar
thy hop ranch, two miles east of
the Independence Bridge.

Korean Truce
Hopes Fading
MUNSAN (JP) Allied and Com
munist top delegations met for
only 11 minutes Monday on the
crisis in Korean truce negotia
tions. Details of this fifth plenary off-the-record
meeting at Panmunjom
were withheld. An Allied Spokes
man said the chief Red delegate,
North Korean Gen. Nam II, did
most of the talking.
The brevity of the last several
meetings hinted strongly the two
sides were close to stalemate in
their efforts to agree on conditions
for an armistice.
The delegations agreed to meet
again Tuesday.
Fight Frost
By LILLIE L. MADSEN
Farm Editor, The Statesman
Frosts in recent years have
made a lot of growers wonder if
there isn't a more sure way of
paying the farm taxes and family
bills than by raising fruit. Certain
it is that frosts have taken heavy
tolls in many sections in the Wil
lamette Valley fruit growing area.
"Either," said one berry grower
Saturday, "We are going to have
to quit growing strawberries in
our section or we are going to
have to learn some efficient way
to combat frost damage."
The question which has been
raised in recent weeks by those
opposing frost prevention meth
ods is: "What did they use to do
about it?" ..
And the answer to this, berry
growers will tell y6u, is: "The
same as the day-laborer used to
do about his wages: took what
was offered him."
Now Bir Industry
Things have changed. Some
thing was done about the former;
something will have to be done
about the latter if modern-day
competition from other states is to
be met. Berry growing in the Wil
lamette Valley has changed from
a small part of a general farm
program to entire farms devoted
to berry growing only. To save
this industry, which means a live
lihood to many more than the
growers, frost damage prevention
must be studied.
"And don't think we ha vent,"
Don Rasmussen, Marion County
horticultural agent, said this week
flight and landed on pack ice.
There the party took various
measurements, including ocean
depth and gravity field strength,
strength. It then returned to the
island.
Lt. Col. Joseph Fletcher of
Shawnee, Okla., who established
the post on the frigid floating
island, made Saturday's polar
flight as co-pilot.
Alaska Air Command officials
said details of the North Pole
landing were lacking because of
uncertain radio communications
with the ice island station.

John Wood, Marion County
berry grower, reports consider
able success with the sprinkler

Pepper
Backs
Kefauver
By DON WHITEHEAD
MIAMI, Fla. (P)-Former Sen.
Claude Pepper of Florida Sunday
threw his political influence be
hind Sen. Estes Kefauver in the
lanky Tennesseean's big bid for
Southern support in Tuesday's
Democratic presidential prefer
ence primary.
Pepper's announcement came
just as Kefauver and Sen. Richard
B. Russell of Georgia, Kefauver's !
opponent in the state's popularity
contest were preparing to make
their final campaign pleas in pop
ulous Dade (Miami) County after
swings through northern and cen
tral Florida.
Kefauver supporters were hope
ful Pepper's still-potent political
influence might -shift the balance
of -voting power and give their
man an important victory in the
South.
Pepper was defeated for re
nomination to the Senate in 1950
by Sen. George Smathers, who is
supporting Russell. But despite
the defeat he is conceded to have
a strong following in Florida.
Pepper's statement said Russell
was a distinguished Senator but
that Kefauver was a Presidential
candidate with greater national
appeal.
"In Senator Kefauver," Pepper
said, "our South has its first op
portunity in a hundred years to
elect a President and to reconcile
our differences in a united repub
lic. In Senator Kefauver the
Democratic Party has a candidate
who rides with victory.
"... I shall vote for Senator
Estes Kefauver."
Pepper said if Kefauver could
win in Florida, he then could go
on to win the Democratic nomi
nation. (Story m primaries also

SEOUL, Korea (JP)- Allied in

Western Korean Front which they
had yielded Saturday in a bitter,
daylong battle.
comprehensive one is that of Al
bert Jesse of Gales Creek in Wash
ington County. His experiment
started five years ago and he has
been generous with information he
has compiled from results
took a heavy toll in his field
Packers were paying 28 cents
a pound that year. Alter deduct
ing cost of picking, estimated loss
was approximately $9,000. He
could, he figured, buy a W
field heating equipment for that
money.
Buys Smudge Equipment
Following a study of smudging
equipment used in other frost
territories, Jesse bought a power
sprayer, to be used as a tank
wagon; 500 ten-quart orchard
heaters; a 1,400 gallon fuel storage
tank, which proved to be too small,
so that another 1,600 gallon ca
pacity tank was obtained; two
lighting torches; two minimum
registering thermometers; alarm
t'-rmometer; an alarm box with
1,800 feet of number 18 wire to
reach the coldest spot in the field
This equipment, to take care of
10 acres, cost $1,220.20 at 1946
prices or $12.20, annual cost per
acre, figuring the useful life at
10 years.
Later, when heaters proved dif
ficult to obtain, Jesse made 113
from discarded paint and. oil
buckets, adding "spiders" to con
trol the heat, and lids to protect
the oil from rain. Cost ran from
55 to 77 cents each, depending up
on cost of the bucket.

Chinese Woman
Chosen American
Mother of 1952
NEW YORK (JPy-A native of
China who reared eight children
while operating a laundry in
Portland, Me., was named Sun
day as the "American mother of
1952."
Mrs. Toy Len Goon, a widow,
was selected for the honor by the
national jury of the American
Mothers Committee of the Gold
en Rule Foundation.
Each year just before Moth
ers' Day, the jury chooses an
"American mother" from nomi-..
nations submitted by commit
tees throughout the nation.
The 57 - year - old Portland
mother came to this country
from Canton, China. She is
now a citizen of the United
States. Her children, ranging in
age from 15 to 29, all were born
in this country.
Mrs. Goon has had no formal
education, the committee said,
but encouraged her children in
their studies and their partici
pation in civic affairs.
-Among Mrs. Goon's eight chil
dren are a doctor, the owner of
a television store, a teacher, an
accounting student, a federal
gov ernment employe, a sailor at
the U. S. Naval School in Wash
ington, and two teen-aged chil
dren. Settlement in
Bakery Strike
Said Distant
PORTLAND. - JP A strike
against major bakeries in the
Northwest's four largest cities
continued Sunday with little hope
of an early settlement. Officials
of the AFL bakery workers union
said no meetings are scheduled !
with bakerv ODerators . And thev ; m
promised extensive picketing in
Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma and
Portland on Monday.
Workers in 25 major Portland
bakeries left their ovens Satur
day, a day after the Washington
workers struck. Sporadic picket
ing was reported Sunday at some
of the wholesale plants.
Albert Kalla, secretary of the
Oregon union local, said picketing
of some of the plants would con
tinue Monday.
At Salem, union officials served
notice the workers would accept
whatever settlement comes from
Portland negotiations. They said
no strike was planned for Salem.
Meanwhile, small neiehborhood
bakeries fought a losing battle in
their efforts to meet some of the
demand for bakerv goods.

Youth Cited
Burning gasoline from a gas
tank broken open in an automo
bile accident Sunday left a 1941
Pbntiac sedan a total wreck.
City police charged a 17-year-old
Sacramento, Calif, youth with
reckless driving, alleging him to
be the one driving a Ford con
vertible which crashed into the
rear of the Pontiac, parked in
front of 1325 S. Commercial St.,
and owned by A. L. Mason, who
"ves ax mai anaress.
Police said the youth got out
of his car to investigate after the
collision and lit a cigaret which
ignited the gasoline. The youth
was not held, but was cited to
appear in Municipal Court this
morning.
Firemen quenched the flames,
but not before the car was gutted.
Fuel used is anything from die
sel oil to kerosene, with stove oil
found to be the most economical
and least trouble,
Fuel Cost Figured
During the past five years an
average of a little more than 13
acres was protected each year. The
faverage annual cost ror iuei was
$10.55 per acre. From 1947 to
1951 inclusive, the smudge pots
were in use 20 times
Danger point on strawberries,
Jesse found, was 28 degrees on
buds and blossoms, and 30 after
the petals start falling. The alarm
thermometer rings a bell on the
alarm box in the house when the
thermometer In the field reaches
33 degrees. Lighing heaters does
not start until the temperature
drops to 30 degrees in the bud and
blossom stage, and 31 to 31Vi in
the fruit forming period.
Jesse estimates that tons of fruit
were saved in the past five years.
He points to 1951, when the tem
perature dropped to 234 degrees
on April 21, and all available
heaters were in use without suf
ficient to hold the temperature
above the danger point. However,
Jesse harvested 3,445 pounds of
strawberries per acre, while a
neighbor, who had 17 acres, didn't
pick a crate for market. Usually
the two fields ran about equal.
More experiments are being
made in various valley places this
season, Rasmussen states. These
will be reported upon as soon as
information is souadly available,
he added.

500 Rioting Convicts Set
Fire to Montreal Prison
MONTREAL (JP) More than 500 screaming prisoners rioted for
five hours Sunday at Bordeaujc Prison, demanding better food and a
new prison governor.
At least three persons, two prisoners and a guard, were reported
injured none seriously in the fray in which neither side resorted to
gunfire. The rioters set fire to two cell blocks and the chapel of the
wheel-shaped prison.
The rioting subsided about 8
p. m., (EST) as the last of the
unruly mob of prisoners straggled
from the yard back into the fire
damaged prison.
Scores of police, summoned
from all over Montreal, had ent
ered the yard more than an hour
earlier but made no effort to drive
the prisoners forcibly back into
the buildings.
Hundreds of spectators jammed
the streets outside the big old
prison.
The riot exploded at the late
afternoon meal. The prisoners
didn t like the head cheese, corn
and potatoes they were given.
They rushed their guards and be
gan screaming. Nearly all of the
prison's total population of 600
prisoners took part.
All the prisoners are short
termers, with sentences of less
than two years. They wore ci
vilian clothes and some had bed
blankets draped around them as
they ran about the yard.
One source said unofficially he
belived the riot here could have
been inspired by the big prison
riots last month in New Jersey
and at Jackson, Mich.
Comic Aspect
At times, the dfcorder took an
comic aspect and the prisoners
seemed to be having considerable
sport. When fire trucks rushed in,
the prisoners leaped aboard and
rang the bells. They made no at
tempt to molest the firemen or to
hamper their work.
Late Sunday night three more
fires broke out in the prison but
j the flames were put out quickly
and there was no indication the
rioting has resumed.
Damage by the rioters was es
timated unofficially at $100,000.

Murray told newsman
minutes after White Rmiu m
efforts failed that "naturally

Murray conferred with reporters'
shortly after Dr. John R CimL

Murray, looking very tired after
two full days and one night
constant talks with industry ofO-"
cials, accused the companies cf
being "on a strike against 'collee-

To Review Case :
The steel industry, Murray
agreed, is technically under gov
ernment control despite a U. S.
District Court ruling that seizure
was unconstitutional The Su
preme Court postponed the effec

12 lt cent wage boost and" 5s cent
fringe increase offered the union
"more than three weeks ago.

He denounced the steel coos
