Friend have sent me copies of
an advertisement of the pari

Don't . kill pari-mutuel Racing
Revenue." Under it, at the top
of the list is the name of The
Statesman and my own name and
a sentence from a column I once
wrote on the operation of the rac
Ing meets. The quotation is I think
correct, but it had to do only
with comment on the manner in
which the race meets have been
operated, not on the question be

tinued, i

them among papers ana editors
saying. Don't kill pari-mutuel rac

vote 32SX YES and put an end to
this form of commercialized gam

tion a week from Tuesday.
All are fighting ground, marked
down for. heavy campaigning by
both sides. .
The Eisenhower schedule relat
ing to them in the closing days of
the campaign is being kept fluid.
Some substitutions are possible, an
aide to the general said.
He told a reporter Eisenhower
is "keeping himself ready, like a
fireman, to. move in on any poli
tical hot spots."
A member of the Eisenhower
high command, campaign Chair
man Sherman Adams, said he is
looking for a "smear campaign"
and "last minute desperation tac
ticcs" from the Democrats.

At Bridge
A traffic detour at the east end
of the Center Street bridge will
be in; effect this morning, prob
ably as soon as the 8 ajn. traffic
rush ends.
The Center Street block be
tween Front and Commercial
Streets will remain closed to traf
ficuntil the east approach to the
Willamette River bridge is rebuilt.
And the specific detour routes
scheduled for start today will re
main in effect continuously until
the new Marion Street river
bridge is open to traffic. This is
slated for the middle of December.
Principal features of the detour
are closure of the Center Street
block: one-way southbound traf
fic on Front Street between Mar

of River Street for .access to the
Center Street bridge from points
to the south.
The State Highway, Department

system revision started over two
years ago. After the Center Street
bridge east approach . has over
passed Front Street and west ap
proach has been linked with the

The detour plan is expected to
slow traffic somewhat at peak

President Makes
Appeal; Full Pay
Boost 'Postponed
WASHINGTON (-President Truman apparently won a prom
ise from John I Lewis Sunday night that the week-old soft coal
strike will be ended. '
Truman made a personal appeal that the strike be ended in a
White House meeting with Lewis, a spokesman, for the strike-bound -industry
and high government officials.
The President, here for a week
end pause in his busy campaign-
Iing for the Democratic presiden
tial ticket, took Lewis on a per
sonally-conducted tour of the
White Heuse after the formal
meeting in the President's study.
Their friendly visit, along with
the apparent willingness of Lewis
to end the strike, seemed to spell
an end of the era of disagreement
between the two men. Lewis had
bitterly blasted Truman as a "dan
gerous man" just before the 1948
presidential election, won by Tru
man. . .
Assured Cooperation
Truman announced, after his
2 4-minute meeting with Lewis,
that he had personally appealed
to the miners' union chief that the
strike be terminated. Truman said
Lewis "has assured me of his co
operation." -
A high government official said
privately . afterward that this
meant the strike would be ended
soon. Joseph E. Moody, president
of the Southern Coal Producers
Association, was not present at
the meeting but when told what
had happened, also said it sound-,
ed like it had been arranged to
end the strike.
The President's " announcement
Of his request and Lewis' reply
was made after a suddenly-ar
ranged ' White House meeting. It
was attended by Truman, Lewis,
Harry M. Moses, president of the
Bituminous Coal Operators Asso
ciation; the President's assistant,
John R. Steelmanl Economic Sta
bilization Director Roger Putnam
and Federal Mediation Chief Da
vid L. Cole.
Agrees with Truman
On leaving, Lewis told report
ers he had no statement but added:
"Obviously, whatever the Pre
sident said is right.'
This still left up in the air the
question whether Lewis would or
der the United Mine Workers back
to work as Truman's words, that
he had been "assured of coopera
tion by Lewis, seemed to indi
cate. ... - . -
The strike . began throughout
the coal fields last Monday- after
the government's Wage Stabiliza
tion Board (WSB) cut a $150
daily pay increase negotiated by
Lewis and Moses to $1.50. The
WSB said the remaining 40. cents

amounting to 40 cents a day"

has only limited play park
facilities," said O'Hara.,
"That part of the state fair
