Candidates' Tax Cut Promise Decried: Truman Favors Boost Br DOUGLAS B. CORNELL Associated Press Political Writer President Truman, taking note cf Republican candidates' prom ises io reduce taxgs, declared Thursday taxes ougBt to be high er rather than lower. No President, be the Republican or Democrat, cart reduce taxes 15 per cent, he said. Toddler Found Alive, In Bear-Infested Wood GRANTS PASS (A3)- Little Wil liam Glaspie Jr., 19 months, ran the wrong way when children were called to the house to get a treat cf candy Weanesday. Nearly 200 men tramped through the bear-infested woods looking for him. They even divert ed a stream, fearing that he had fallen- in. But this afternoon, near ly 20 hours after he had disap peared, Mr. and Mrs. Bud Turn bough found him three miles into the woods and high above Thomp son Creek that flows past the home DIP 333DDQ0 So far, General Eisenhower's personal wooing of delegates has little visible to show for it. In Detroit he met the Michigan del egation Governor Fine of Penn sylvania visited him in New York and the Pennsylvania delegates called on him in his Gettysburg ' farm home. But no conversions are reported. Meantime, Taft has gathered in the most of the dele gates from South Dakota, Indiana and Delaware. The most recent box score we have seen shows Taft 464; Eisenhower 392; Warren 76; Stassen 25; McKeldin 24. The last has said his Maryland delega tion would vote for Eisenhower, though he didn't say for how long. It takes 604 delegates to make a nomination. ' The New York Times last Sun day reported: "The consensus is that so far General Eisenhower has not started a real prairie fire." Its correspondents in six cities which the General has not visited reported his return had produced no significant impact on their areas. Ike still is far ahead of his leading rival in popularity polls; but thus far that is not carrying over into enough delegate strength. In the making, it is said, is a grass roots campaign, styled much after the drive staged by Or en Root which brought the nomina tion to Wendell Willkie in Phila delphia in 1940. Whether it can repeat is the big question. The Eisenhower campaign needs a lift to get it really rolling in the re maining two weeks. Power of decision rests with the uncommitted delegates who (Concluded on editorial page 4) Five Youths Nabbed for Destruction Marion County sheriff's office Thursday booked five juveniles who were arrested in Stayton on charges of malicious destruction of property. The five were first wanted by Marion County on a burglary charge and then late Wednesday night were said to have destroyed numerous signs and other roadside property between Mehama, Lyons and Stayton. They were arrested in Stayton by Donald J. Johnson, chief of police in Stayton and it was later learned by the Marion County sheriffs office that these boys were the five wanted on ihe previous-burglary charge. They were brought to Salem by a sheriff's deputy and are being held in the Salem juvenile ward on the two charges. The lads, the youngest is 15 and the oldest 17 years, are from the Lebanon area. KOTXN QUITS WSB SEATTLE (JP) Leo Kotin re signed Thursday as chairman of the Regional Wage Stabilization Board. Animal Crackers Bv WARREN GOODRICH "I'd better stort dinner. Any min ute now pig Mo will come charg ing in and soy whet a hard day he's hod!" Truman was taking direct aim at Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, who says he will cut levies 15 per cent if he becomes President. More indirectly, Truman was popping at Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower, who claims he could bring about a "steady shrinkage" in taxes after a couple of years. Taft and Eisenhower are the f of his parents, Mr. - and Mrs. Wil liam John Glaspie. His face was tear-swollen. He was badly scratched. But Mrs. Lester Adams, who phoned in the word, said he was all right. He was examined at a Medford hos pital and released. Wednesday he had been playing with his brothers, sisters and cousins. Then they all were called to the house for candy. Not until his turn came around was it not iced that he wasn't there. And then the search started. Veterans Start Receiving Bonus Checks The first of 'Oregon's World War II veterans began getting their checks Thursday, even though mailing of the checks was temporarily slowed down, the State Veterans Administration re ported. Two checks were cashed Thurs day in Salem and returned to the state treasurer. They were among the first batch mailed out Wed nesday. Mailing of bonus checks slowed down late Wednesday when ma chines used for stuffing and seal ing the envelopes refused to op erate at normal speed. But re pairs were completed Thursday and mailing operations picked up. Officials estimated that between 35,000 and 40,000 checks were in the mails late Thursday. Meanwhile, H. C. (Hub) Saal feld, director of the bonus divi sion of the department of veterans affairs condemned the lists of eli gible veterans which were re ported being sold to Oregon mer chants at 2'2 cents a name. Saalfeld said any such lists were bound to be inaccurate be cause many veterans applications have been disallowed and ad dress of many of those eligible have been changed. The lists were compiled from discharge certifications in the. of fices of county clerks, Saalfeld said. Carnations Signify Sex of Quadruplets WEYMOUTH, Mass. (JP)-A 39 year old ex-Marine walked jaun tily out of South Shore Hospital Thursday with four carnations to honor his newborn quadruplets. Three of the flowers were red for the boys. A white one was for the girl, first-born of the quads. John J. Manning said his wife insisted he take the flowers from a bouquet at her bedside. He saw her briefly earlier, while she was still in the delivery room. "How are the babies, John?" she asked. "Are they all well?" "They're lovely. They're marvel ous," the father said. "They're beautiful. They're all healthy." ' But the weary 27 year old moth er had dozed off by then. "Now I've got three bus driv ers," chuckled Manning, who is president of South Shore Coach Lines, Inc. The three prospective drivers and their sister were reported in "pretty good" condition. All were in humidity cribs in cubators with the temperature around 80. None wore a stitch not even diapers. The quads must wait until Fri day sometime for their first meaL It probably will be glucose from a medicine dropper. The quads have a brother and two sisters Dennis, 4, Mary 3, and two-year -old Anne Marie. Automobile Arsonist Active in Pendleton PENDLETON (JP) Three cars burst into flame while parked on Pendleton streets Wednesday night. Fire Chief William Batche lor said all were set deliberately. The cases were similar to the 17 reported earlier this spring' in Portland. The arsonist was caught. Western International At Victoria 7. Salem At Vancouver 1. Tri-City At Yakima 0.

After a day of taking it easy at Denver, Eisenhower has con ferences on tap Friday with the Montana, Idaho and Washington delegations to the Republican na tional convention that opens July 7 in Chicago. They are a follow up to meetings earlier this week with delegates from Colorado, Wy oming, Utah, Oregon and Arizona. Taft's campaign headquarters announced that Sen. Dirksen (R 111.) has been chosen to put the Ohio Senator's name in nomina tion at the GOP convention. Dirk sen is a polished speaker who has served as Taft campaign manager in Illinois. Sen. Knowland (R-Calif.) said he will nominate Gov. Earl War ren of California.. Knowland took the occasion to tell a reporter that neither Taft, Eisenhower nor any one representing them had tried to make a deal to steer the vice presidential nomination his way in return for his swinging California delegates one way or the other at Chicago. Pledged to Warren California's 70 convention votes, plus six from Wisconsin, are pledg ed to Gov. Warren. "If the time comes," Knowland said, "when Gov. Warren releases his delegates at Chicago, then the California delegates . . . will meet and decide what we will do in the best interests of the nation and the Republican Party. "It will not be a decision because of any deal." Taft stuck to Senate duties in Washington in advance of a trip to New York Thursday night for a TV-radio show. Networks that carried Eisenhower's homecoming speech at Abilene, Kans., June 4 made the time available to Taft. In a prepared script, Taft called for an end to the draft as soon as possible, the wiping out of price controls and a reshuffling of for eign policy. If elected president, he said, he will balance the budg et in his first year in the White House. Harriman in Fight The Ohio Senator said his party can't rely on its "New Deal wing" to guide it to victory in the future any more than in the past. One of the Democratic presiden tial hopefuls, Averell Harriman, went on the air, too, to say that a Southerner can't carry the North for the Democrats, and the bulk of the voting power is in the North. Harriman said he is going to fight straight through for his own nomi nation. He denied reports that he is merely a "stop-gap" candidate until Truman persuades Gov. Ad lai Stevenson of Illinois to accept a draft. Warren's 76 votes puts him in third place in the GOP presiden tial sweepstakes. On the Associa ted Press tally sheet, Taft leads with 466 and Eisenhower is next with 393. A total of 604 are needed to clinch the nomination. Kefanver Active In the Democratic race. Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee has 246 votes. Sen Richard B. Russell of Georgia lHVi, and Mutual Se curity Administrator Harriman 914. It takes 616 votes to win the Democratic nomination. Kefauver attempted to stretch his lead by drumming up support in Michigan Thursday. He had a speaking date at a Michigan fed eration of labor meeting in De troit. Russell was courting Wash ington delegates in Spokane, while Harriman headed westward him self on a nine-state tour. For Harriman it was Little Rock Thursday and Friday morning and Des Moines later Friday. Harri man had a breakfast date with Gov. Sidney S. McMath of Ar kansas and a news conference scheduled for Des Moines. Policemen Get Tight to Try Drinking Test EUGENE (JP)- Three policemen went to the University of Oregon Wednesday and got down to drink ing. City officials watched them do it. Then the three were tested in an experiment connected with the Oregon School of Alcoholic Stud ies, sponsored by the university and the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. They were trying out a meter invented by Dr. Leon A. Green berg of Yale, who is one of the lec turers at the two-week-long ses sion here. One policeman got two ounces of whisky. The meter showed he had the least. Another got four ounces. The meter showed he was in worse shape. The third got six ounces. The meter pronounced him drunk. The inventor warned, however, that the dial reading could be thrown off by anyone using a mouth wash with a big percentage of alcohol. Mother CoBusidered Karnes as.EVHodel Son The distraught mother of con fessed slayer Albert William Karnes has no explanations for the actions which led to bis first de gree murder charge in the death of 81-year-old Mrs. Susan Litch field. She told The Statesman Thurs day night from her home in As toria that for the past year, Karnes had been a model son, respected throughout his home town. Karnes is now held by Wasco County authorities in The Dalles, but is scheduled to be brought to Salem today to begin serving a 15 year sentence for the burglary of the Ben Callaway home there. Later, he will be tried for the mur der of Mrs. Litchfield. 102nd YEAR 20 PAGES Food, Rents Boost Cost -Close to All-Time Post - By ROWLAND EVANS JR. WASHINGTON (JP) - The cost of living, as measured by the gov ernment, Thursday crept close to the all-time peak set last Janu ary. Rising food and rent costs boosted the latest index, covering prices for the month ended May 15, to 189 per cent of the 1935-39 average. Last January it reached 189.1 per cent, fell sharply in February, and started climbing again in March. The new figure, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), means an automatic two cent hourly wage boost for 1,250, 000 railroad workers and at least Baltic Islands Hide Russian Missile Bases STOCKHOLM, Sweden 0P-The newspaper Aftonbladet reported Thursday the Russians have trans formed the Baltic islands of Dagoe and Oesel into major bases for guided missiles trained on targets in Scandinavia. The Russians claim the unarmed Swedish rescue plane they shot down Monday was Snooping over Dagoe when fired upon. The Swedes say it was out in inter national waters. The report bv the influential circuspect newspaper was made at the height of a storm of emotion here aroused by the shooting and by revelations of Soviet spying being made at the spy trial of Rus sia's Swedish agents. Aftonbladet implied the Swedish plane might have been shot down by Russian MIG fighters maintain ing an advanced protective screen off Dagoe to shield its secrets. The paper's report listed a long series of Russian guided missile bases including some which it said were specially designed to bom bard the Ruhr industrial area of West Germany. It also purported to give the lo cation of a large number of Rus sian air bases, naval ports and submarine pens. Telephone, Tex. Doesn't Have a Line TELEPHONE, Tex. (JP)- The town of Telephone, Tex., doesn't have a telephone. Not since the big ice storm of January, 1950, has the local citi zenry heard a telephone ring. But residents of the little Fannin County community don't seem to mind going to Coffee Mill Lake, seven miles away, when they want to make a telephone call. As one village jokester puts it: "Ain't got no telegraph and no telephone. But the womenfolk don't have any trouble spreading the word." This isn't the first time Tele phone has been without a tele phone. No one in town knew what a telephone looked like when the community got its unique name in 1880. "Just to be frank with you, said Henry Copeland, 78, the town's oldest citizen, "we don't even know how this town came to have such a name. "Since the telephone was in vented along about 1878 and Tele phone, Tex., got its name in 1880, we always figured somebody just named it for the newfangled talk ing box." Telephone got its first tele phones in 1900. The telephone bus iness ran pretty smooth until 1949 when a big ice storm knocked the lines down. A. T. Shipman Telephone Co., operators of the circuit that in cludes Telephone, put the lines back but the 1950 storm levelled poles and lines again. They've never been put back up. Learning of her son's confession by reading it in the newspapers, Mrs. Roy Warren, mother of Karnes, said she was considerably upset, and that the news had come to her as a complete surprise. She said she knew her son was disturbed over the whereabouts of his ex-wife and two-year-old son, but that his search for her would lead to murder was something she had no idea would happen. "In all his life," Mrs. Warren said, "Albert has always been kind and courteous to old women. I don't know why, or even if, he would do something like that." Mrs. Warren said she had seen Karnes in The Dalles shortly after he had been arrested for the burg lary of the Callaway home. Since The Oregon a penny for an estimated 100,000 textile, aircraft and oil refining workers. These workers have contracts which tie wages with the cost of living. Adjustments are made every three months. In March, for example, the rail workers lost a cent on the basis of the Febru ary index. Now they pick up two cents. The boost becomes effec tive with July 1 paychecks. More than one million auto workers who also have contracts tied to the index were not af fected. They took a one cent an hour pay cut last month, and won't be affected again until the Dam Completed; Powerhouse Work Gets Top Priority DETROIT The huge Detroit Dam is finished, except for its 100,000-watt powerhouse, and the by-pass for waters of the North Santiam will be plugged Monday or Tuesday.

Marine Expansion Gets Approval WASHINGTON JP)-The Senate and House Thursday unanimously approved legislation setting the top strength of the U. S. Marines at 400,000 enlisted men and giving the leathernecks a stronger voice in military policy. The corps now has about 214,000 enlisted men. The Senate quickly passed a House-approved version and sent the bill to the White House. Both actions were by voice vote. Senate passage came after Sen. Long (D-La), floor manager for the bill, assured Sen. Hickenloop er (R-Iowa) there was nothing in the bill that would add to the powers of the President in deploy ing American military forces abroad. Hickenlooper had raised a ques tion whether the legislation might authorize the President to use the Marines "at his whim and discre tion in any part of the world." Sen. Douglas (D-Ill.), who serv ed in the Marines in World 5var II, said the measure will prevent the Marines from "being eliminat ed as a combat organization by any action of the joint chiefs of staff." Douglas said it would also make certain the Marine Corps comman dant will be consulted on mat ters concerning the Marines. For many years the Marines have had no direct voice in the military high command. They have been represented by the Navy. Under the House-approved leg islation, the Marine commandent for the first time would be per mitted to sit with the joint chiefs of staff the heads of the Army, Navy and Air Force as a co equal on matters affecting the Marines. , Bill Smith Jr. Convicted Of Tacoma Park Killing TACOMA (JP)-A Superior Court jury convicted Bill Smith Jr., for mer Burlingame, Calif., car-hop, of second degree murder Thurs day. He was convicted for the sec ond time of beating and strangling 17-year-old Noreen McNicholas in an outlying park in 1948. The jury received the case Wednesday and deliberated about nine hours. then she has not heard from him and she said that she had not been contacted by any officials. No arrangements have been made, Mrs. Warren added, to pro vide an attorney for Karnes. Mrs. Warren said she was not certain what she should do, or if pro visions would be made for his de fense. Salem police in the meantime continued tying loose ends in the case. Following their return to Sa lem, clothes belonging to Karnes and found in a suitcase at a The Dalles hotel were sent to the state criminal laboratory in Portland. Chief of Police Clyde A. Warren said he wished to know particu larly the nature of spots found on the clothes. POUNDBD 1651 Statesman, Salem. Oregon. Friday, kfllTQ DDH of Living War Record July index is published about mid-August. The BLS does not claim that its index is a complete measure of the cost of living. It says the in dex does show changes in the cost of living of an average family of moderate income living in a large city. The index is expressed in terms of average prices in the base years, 1935 through 1939. Thus when it stands at 189, as it did on May 15, this is what it means: If a moderate income family had to spend $100 to live in the average month during 1935-39, it would now cost the same family $189 to live just as well for a month. Horse Show Chopped for Oregon Fair There will be no horse show this fall at the State Fair, for want of $4,800. That was the decision announced Thursday by Dr. Earle B. Stewart OI Roseburg, chairman of the State Fir Commission, following a meeting with Hunt Club delegates seeking retention of the show. Instead, there will be rodeo all eight nights of the fair, it was dis closed by Leo Spitzbart, manager. The rodeo will be staged by the Christensen Brothers of Eugene, who have offered a $5,000 guar antee. The statement issued after the State Fair Commission's decision Thursday said that the state fire marshal had estimated the horse show pavilion, which he had con demned for horse show use, could meet state fire requirements with an expenditure of $300 to $500 for movable panels and exits, but that a contractor had estimated cost at $3,500. Another f 1,300 would be neces sitated for extra help to operate the gates, making total cost $4, 800. Under another plan, total cost could be cut to $500, the commis sion said, but at the expense of 57 box stalls which Spitzbart said could not be spared. The commission said the horse show turned in a $3,453 deficit last year. Several weeks ago the emer gency board turned down a re quest for $100,000 for a new barn designed to permit removal of ani mals from the pavilion and answer state fire marshal objections to its continued use for horse shows. Kader Murder Case Recessed PORTLAND (JP)-The first de gree murder trial of Mrs. Jada Z. Kader, 22, accused of Blaying her 3-year-old daughter, was re cessed Thursday while attorneys argued whether statements of an other daughter could be repeated in court. The other daughter, 4-year-old Vicke, told police that her mother had held her hand over the mouth of her sister, Sherrie, then put her in a drainage pit. Sherrie's body was recovered there by police at the direction of Mrs. Kader, who claimed Vickie killed her sister with a piece of cement. The jury of eight men and six women, including alternates, was moved to downtown hotel rooms after they complained about sleep ing quarters they have had on the seventh floor of the Multnomah County Courthouse. They said the beds were uncomfortable, ventila tion was poor and that there were cockroaches on .the floor. APPROVES CIVIL BILL WASHINGTON (P)-After beat ing back all attempts to reduce the totals, the Senate Thursday approved a bill carrying $667,474,' 699 for Army civil functions. Karnes was sentenced to the prison almost immediately follow ing his confession to the killing of Mrs. Litchfield. Until he is ordered to stand trial on the first degree murder charge, he will be held in the prison for the burglary sent ence. ! Meanwhile in Marion County District Court, Brutus Ashcroft, charged with first degree murder of Silverton Constable Emery J Jackson was granted a continuance until July 14 to enter a plea. Jackson was killed early Sun day morning, June 9, the same day Mrs. Litchfield's body was found, following a family altercation at his home north of Silverton. Ashcroft is held in the Salem city jail, under county custody. June 20, 1952 PlTDSirQ In Fatal Fight Lifetermer, George Harwood, 58.

Quarrel Ends In Killing of Third Party GOLD BEACH (JP)- A gun shot rang out in a quarrel between two men in northern Curry County Wednesday. A third man fell dead. He was Marius Christian Soren son, 27, who was hit in the heart by a bullet from a carbine as he sat at the wheel of an automobile on the Sixes River Road, 40 miles north of here. James Kay Nodine, 64, dairy rancher, was arrested. Justice of the Peace A. D. Niemann, Port Orford, said Nodine admitted the shot came from his gun. Didn't Know Victim The quarrel was between Nodine and Clifford A. Shields, 29, who was sitting in the car beside Sor- enson. bmeids sam iNoaine was trying to shoot him. He added that Nodine did not even know Soren-J son. Shields said Nodine was angered because Nodine's 14 -year -old daughter had left him and was liv ing with the Shields, who also have four children of their own. He said Nodine stopped the car, walked up and cursed him, then fired. Shields added he was able to talk Nodine out of further shoot ing, then raced away in the car to get Sorenson to a doctor. Sorenson, however, died almost instantly. Sought Daurhter Nodine said he got his own car, but could not keep up with Shields. Nodine went to Port Orford, and walked into Niemann's office. Niemann said Nodine told him he wanted a doctor for a man he had shot. He insisted that he did not intend to shoot, but raised his gun to frighten Shields Into telling where his daughter was, Niemann said. Nodine said Sorenson reached out to grab the gun, and in a scuffle the gun was fired.
