By CALVIN
Staff Writer,
Beginning at 4 p. m. Saturday the customary solitude of the Kola

and-dodgers, and over-and-outs that won't be interrupted until 4 p. m.

A similar scene was being
duplicated by thousands of other
radio "hams" as part "of an an
nual 21-hour test of amateur com
munications equipment under ad-

sponsored by the American Radio
Relay League, and one nf the
chief aims is to check the ef
fectiveness of such an amateur
communications network should a
national emergency arise.
For those taking part in the
test, the sole aim is to contact by
voice and telegraph key as many
other operators as possible within
the alloted 24 hours. F. P. Spen

Wilson Denies
Slur Aimed
At Congress
WASHINGTON' - Secretary
of Defense Wilson Saturday backed
away from any charge that sena
torial moves to increase U. S. Air
Force funds are "phony." The
White house denied it pressured
Wilson into action.
Wilson's uae of the word
"phony" on Thursday in a news
conference at Quantico, Va., had
set off a storm in the Senate.
Member after member denounced
the Secretary. Some Democrats
called for his ouster. Sen. Bridges
(R-NH) said Wilson was guilty of
"an unwarranted slur."
Parity" Misquoted
Saturday Wilson told reporters
St Quantico that he had either
been misunderstood or "partly"
misquoted. He remarked to the
reporters: "I don't blame you
men too much. I blame myself."
Presidential Secretary James
C. Hagerty was asked whether
any White House aids had spoken
to Wilson urging him to modify
his Thursday remarks.
"No," Hagerty replied. He de
clinetMo say anything more than
that . the matter had been dis
cussed by the President Saturday
morning with White House aides.
Brought by Adams t
The morning conference brought
Sherman Adams, the assistant to
the President, and other White
House officials to Eisenhower's
suite.
Among the topics:
1. The big senatorial storm over
Wilson.
2. Wilson's order to 11,000 mili
tary officers on desk jobs around
Washington to change from uni
forms to civilian garb starting
July 1.
Steps Taken
Within a few hours Wilson took
theso steps:
1. Announced he never meant
to insult Senators.
2. Withdrew his order for civil
ian clothes. (Eisenhower, evident

Storage Plant property in the
heart of this onion-raising com
munity, nine miles north of
Salem.
The Oregon State Air Pollu
tion Authority at Portland got a
whiff of the onions when it open
ed a letter from Mrs, Lula Mik
kelson, clerk of Brooks School
District.
Downwind From Pile
Brooks School is located about
six blocks downwind from the
allegedly obnoxious onion pile.
Mrs. Mikkelson asked the air
polution board to do something
about the onions. She declared
that the smell of the spoiling
onions was too strong for the
tender nostrils of Brooks school
children.
"And it causes a fly hazard In
the lunchrooms," she added.
The Labish Cold Storage plant,
responsible for the onion pile, is
under the proprietorship of Ron
ald E. Jones.
Jones indicated Saturday night
that action was forthcoming.
"I guess." he said, "we'll have
to get busy and move that pile
of onions."
The onion pile has been a sore
spot in the community for nearly
three years.
Now Concentrated
Formerly, most onion growers
used to top and sort thejf onions
on their own property. The of
fensive pile started to get odor
ous about the time that some of
the growers started to have their
onions topped at the cold stor
age plant. The onions in the pile
are mostly culls, tossed out when
the good ones were shipped.
"There must be 100 carloads
of onions in that pile." said W.
B. Russell, who lives four houses
downwind from the cold storage
plant.
Complains of Gnats
"I rntild stand the smell, mav-

said Mrs. Russell, "but those

"They even fly 'way out to

PORTLAND (AP) - A light
plane- crashed on a quiet rrsi
dential street here Saturday
night, killing the two men
aboard.
A. E. Thomas, who lives
about 250 yards down the street
from the crash scene, said the
plane, with its motor dead, came
in from the west, clipped off the
tops of some high trees, struck a
power line and then crashed into
a parked car in the street.
Thomas said the crash sounded
like "four or five cars smashing
up."
The dead were identified (mm
papers on their bodies as Charles
Parton, 24, and Archie W. Payne,
27, both of Portland.

The crash occurred at N E. 15tk

"Arkie. for God's sake pull it op."
Seconds later the plane crashed.
