La Follette's bid for Republican nom ination after 12 years as a Pro gressive lent sparkle Tuesday to Wisconsin s primary. With the La Follette senatorial scrap spilling over into the arena of national politics, the Wisconsin balloting outshone the selection of GOP candidates for governor ana senator in Vermont and a free-for-all for the Democratic nomination for governor in South Carolina. Both La Follette and the 83-year-old Republican governor, Walter S. Goodland, were snub bed when they sought the en dorsement of the Wisconsin GOP convention for additional terms. But they went after nomination in the primary, anyway, against these men backed by the party organization: For the Senate, Circuit Judge Joseph R. McCarthy, former Mar ine captain; for the governorship, investment banker Delbert J. Kenny. Also in the senatorial race is Perry J. Stearns, Milwaukee at torney. Third man in the guber natorial field, with La Follette's blessing, is Ralph M. Immell, vet eran of two wars and former sti'e adjutant general. La Follette carried into his bat tle nearly 21 years' experience in the Senate and a name lustrous in Wisconsin politics for two gener ations. Win Would Rebuff GOP But his attempt to force his way back into the Republican fold, which he deserted to organize the Progressive Party, got no wel come from the state machine. Thus a La Follette victory would . weaken Chairman Tom Coleman's clutch on the state Re publican organization. And it would shunt the senator into a position where he could help pick Wisconsin's 24 delegates to the Republican national convention in 1948. That could be important to two potential presidential nominees. There have been demonstrations of friendship between La Follette and Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio. And there has been evidence of coolness between some of La Follette's following and Harold E. Stassen of neighboring Minnesota. Labor Front Stirred Anew By ASSOCIATED PRESS The nation's labor front,, com paratively quiet since settlement of a series of countrywide post war strikes, began stirring with new activity Tuesday. A CIO Imposed embargo dis rupted the flow of news to and from the United States, strike by AFL workers curtailed bread sup plies in Chicago and Philadelphia, a strike which both union and company spokesmen called a "sur prise" closed a hat manufacturing plant in Philadelphia and white collar workers threatened to quit work In International Harvester Co. plants. At the same time, however, a threatened strike aainst the Camp bell Soup Co. was averted by fed eral conciliators, a strike which closed the Packard Motor Car Co., was settled, pressmen ended a week-end strike against the Springfield (Mo.)

Lack of Materials Boa Portland Building PORTLAND W About 75 per cent of new building here is bogged down by lack of materials, building inspectors said Tuesday. While in normal times a- house is built in about three months, the city now has some 4000 partly fin ished homes, some started as early as 1943, inspectors said. And commercial construction makes a total of at least 7500 structures held up by shortages, Inspector Hugh W. Gooding estimated. On some lots, lumber is growing gray from the sun. while builders await materials. What materials? "Just about everything," inspec tors said. Romania Asks Treatment As Co-Belligerent PARIS (U.R1 Romania appealed unexpectedly to the peace confer ence Tuesday for co-belligerent privileges and permission to re tain her armed forces. Foreign Minister George Tatar escu pleaded Romania's case for a reduction of sentence by the victors. He pledged his country to the careful fulfillment of peace treaty terms and adherence to the principles of the United Nations Charter. Soviet Minister V. M. Molotov indirectly accused the United States and Great Britain of seek ing a monopolistic position in the Mediterranean. He spoke at the day's first session of the confer ence, where the general debate on the Italian treaty turned out to Be surprisingly brief. Romania pledged close friend ship with the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and France. Tatarescu offered to bury the hatchet for all time with Ro mania's neighbors and traditional foes, Hungary and Bulgaria. Main Objections He made three main objections to the terms of the draft peace treaty prepared for Romania by the Council of Forcgin Ministers. They were: 1. That Romania had not been given formal recognition as a co belligerent although the country fought on the allied side for more than a year. 2. That no provision was made for Romanian reparations and war damage claims against Germany and Hungary. 3. That Romania had not been allowed to retain the armed forces which fought against Nazi Ger many. Complaining vehemently against the lack of provision for repara tions and war damage aginst Ger many and Hungary, he said the draft treaty in no way compen sated Romania for waging .war against the Axis. He said, he "must draw attention to the highly un fair aspect of restrictive military measures which have a punitive character." He said the economic and repar ations claims aginst Romania were such that the country would be unable to fulfill them even if the treaty were signed. Wac Denies Any 'Criminal' Action In Jewel Theft FRANKFURT ttJ.R) WAC Capt. Kathleen Nash Durant said Tuesday that charges of larceny, embezzlement and con spiracy in the Hesse crown jewel case were "baseless." Capt Durant said in a state ment read by her attorney at a press conference: "The charges are baseless. I have committed no criminal act or acts at any time or place. "If the court says that I have committed any of the criminal acts alleged, then hundreds of people in this theater and thou sands of people in the United States have unclean hands." On the advice of her attor neys, Col. John S. Gwinell and Capt. Glenn Brumbough, Capt. Durant refused to answer any questions concerning her court-martial. American Finances Said Behind Jewish Migration Portugal's Bid To UN Opposed NEW YORK W Soviet Rus sia, Poland and Mexico Tuesday reported to have objected to ad mission of Portugal to the United Nations. A member of the Security Council's Membership Committee said Polish Delegate Jerzy Michal owskl charged that the present re gime In Portugal was similar to that of "Fascist Spain." Mexican Delegate Peon de Valle was said to have offered similar objections, while1 Alexei N. Krasil nikov of Russia gave no reasons for his opposition. The United Stales and Great Britain supported Portugal's ap Dlication. The clash over Portu gal came after the applications of Ireland and Trans-Jordan had been sidetracked Monday by So viet opposition. As a result of Mondays meeting of the Security Council's 11-nation membership committee only Af ghanistan was tentatively given a clean bill out of the first five of nine applications under consideration. Water Board OKs Contract A new 20-year contract with the Bonneville Power Adminis tration, termed one of the "most liberal" in Bonneville's history, was approved Monday night at a meeting of the Eugene Water Board. The contract provides for pur chase of a minimum of 1000 kilo watts of firm power from Bonne ville. In addition Eugene may in crease its initial contract demand at any time to help meet the rap idly growing power requirements of the municipal distribution sys tem. The power will be purchased under Bonneville's optional wholesale rate schedule. In ad dition to firm power, Eugene will also purchase "dump" energy at 2.5 mills per kilowatt hour. The BPA also has the option of pur chasing "dump" power from Eu gene at the same rate. Former City Attorney S. M. Calkins was called in by the board to deliver an opinion on the con tract early in the meeting. He told the board that the resale clause and section giving the Bonneville administrator the right to withdraw the contract if local rate policies are materially changed, were notpin his opinion, "unreasonable." "I can't imagine contract gtvinr more latitude to the wa ter board," Calkins opined. The new contract will take ef fect Aug. 20, the anniversary of the signing of the old interchange agreement in 1940, said Ray Boals, manager. The Bonneville Power Admin istration was represented at the meeting by Chesley Brazil, the Eugene district manager. A feature of the contract which pleased the board was the clause allowing the water board to can cel the contract at any time, with two years' notice to the power administration. Other business transacted Mon- Mob in Haifa Riots in Protest To Deportations HAIFA, Palestine (AP) British troops fired tommv- guns and rifles Tuesday into a crowd of noting Jews who were trying to storm through tanks, trucks and soldiers in protest against the deporta tion to Cyprus of 1000 illegal Jewish immigrants. Three persons were killed and nine persons were critically wounded. Several policemen and troops were injured by stones, bottles and other missiles which the Jews hurled soon after the outlawed Hagana radio exhorted them to "storm the streets." A moving tank injured one per son in dispersing a crowd gather ed in the Hadar Hacarmel quart er of this northern Palestinian port. Two Ships Leave Two troopships sailed with the thousand illegal immigrants dur ing the morning, but another ship bearing 650 Jewish immigrants without landing certificates ar rived and was placed under watch outside the harbor, An unconfirmed report said yet another illegal ship, the Venezia, which was spotted Monday, had arrived off Haifa with 600 more illegal immigrants. The Jews violated a curfew to demonstrate against the deporta tions. However, the rioting abat ed and the curfew was lifted this afternoon. Police reported the city was quiet at 2 p. m. as British soldiers began withdrawing. Radio Incites Mob The Hagana radio called on residents of Haifa to "storm the streets" and break the curfew, which the British Imposed while the Jews were being loaded for deportation. Even the Arabr quarters in Jaifa joined in defiance of the curfew. The Arabs, however, caused little disturbance and ven tured only outside their own homes. Several truckloads of youthful men and women were taken to po lice detention camps in Haifa for breaking the curfew. H. G. Wells, Noted British Author, Dies His Imaginative Books Thrilled Many LONDON 0J.R) H. G. Wells, distinguished British novelist, scientist and social critic, died Tuesday, a little more than a month before ho would have been 80 years old. Wells, whose health had been ebbing for several months, died at 4:15 p. m. (11:15 a. in., EDT) at his London residence. Ho had suffered for many years from diabetes, and recent compli cations drained his vitality. He would have been 80 Sept. 21. Authored 70 Books Herbert George Wells, who at 15 was a draper's apprentice, be came one of the most famous lit erary men of his age. He also was one of the most prolific. He turn ed out more than 70 novels and historical works, which have been translated into every mojor lan guage of the world. Possibly the best known of Wells' works was his "Outline of History." It was published in 1920, and immediately became a best seller around the world. I Among his many novels which had a wide circulation were "Mr. Britling Sees It Through," "Tony Bungay" and "Kipps." The bold imagination of Wells ; plus his scientific knowledge con- jured up visions of Interplanetary affairs and marvels to come. They j were set down lor a generation which at the turn of the century marveled over his 'The Time Ma chine," "The Invisible Man" and The First Man in the Moon." Ills Last Attack Wells rivaled George Bernard Shaw as a conversationalist. His last barrage upon phlegmatic (COOTlrfUED ON PAGE 2) FAMED FOR HIS HISTORICAL writing; as well as his stirring novels of eras yet to come, English author II. G. Wells died Tuesday morning at his London home. VETS ON THE JOB WASHINGTON IU.B Approx imately 1,700,000 veterans were employed by industry during May in jobs that paid them at least $42 a week, the Bureau of Labor Statistic reported Tuesday. Yugoslavs Mum About Occupants of C-47 BELGRADE W U. S. State DoDartment officials en countered a veil of silence Tues- dar in their attempts to learn tne whereabouts of the occupants of an American C-47 Army transport plane who have been held in enmmnnicado bv Yugoslav au thorities since their ship was forced down near Ljubljana by Yugoslav fighters last Friday. Harold A. Shantz, charge d'affairs In the U. S. Embassy said that a Yugoslav officer in charge at the scene of the crash landing had refused to tell the American consul at Zagreb, where the occupants of the plane had been interned. State Has 40 Polio Cases - No Epidemic PORTLAND W Oregon has had 40 cases of poliomyelitis this year Dr. Harold Erickson, state health officer, reported Tuesday, an increase of 10 in the past week. "We are not alarmed." he said, "as this is only slightly above nor mal, but naturally we are watch ing it closely. The next two weeks will tell whether we are to have an epidemic." He pointed out that in 1943 there were fewer than-40 cases at this time when the disease sud denly spread and reached a rec ord high of 415. Mot ca.en this year are in the Portland area. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2) Victory Day Parade Planned TOKYO (IP) Victory day will be celebrated quietly Wed nesday in Japan, where problems of peace overshadow the mem ories of war. Those memories-will be present in an inevitable glimpse at the past by the relatively small per centage of American occupation forces who saw combat service. They will be recalled by the Jap anese who survived the last cre scendo of fire bombs. . But the whole tone of this an niversary here will center on the present and future. The major military display will be a parade before the Imperial Palace of the Seventh Cavalry Regiment chos en because it has borne the brunt of occupation duties in the capital. The anniversary coincides with a gesture toward the future completion of two giant American airfields in Japan. One, a trans port field at Haneda, between Tokyo and Yokohama, will be dedicated formally on Wednesday. Rent Men Get Council Ribbing Problems of rents, which Don Wilson and Rupert K.. Shaw have been taking care of for other people, dropped on their own doorstep Monday evening. The two, representatives of OPA rent control, came before the city council, seeking an of fice in the city hall to replace their Walling Bldg. office which they must vacate Aug. 31, Their plea resulted In some good-natured chiding from councilmen. "This is our chance to get even with you boys," Mayor Earl McNutt told them. "There is no ceiling on business prop erty and we can charge you all we want." Councilman A. L. Hawn chimed In by expressing his contempt for "the whole OPA program," and indicated he wanted to charge OPA $50 per month, plus the $I000-cost of. remo"deling the office. At that point, Wilson, travel ing OPA representative, said In most cities, OPA gels space rent free. The city council finally agreed to negotiate with the rent. control men on a basis of $75 per month. Despite the kidding, the rent men look the offer and will probably move in Sepl. 1. Still looking for space is the OPA price control board. Price Group Hears Laborite WASHINGTON OP) The American Federation of Labor Tuesday urged restoration of all possible price controls Including meats, grains, and other foods. Boris Shishkin, labor economist appearing for AFL President Wil liam Green, told the OPA Decon trol Board that labor insists that "price controls be relmposed on these four groups of commodities." Even then, the AFL witness said, labor is doubtful that infla tion will be checked. Shishkin said Congress had "failed to protect the peopje" by the "emasculated form" of the new OPA act. Earlier, Wesley Hardenburgh, president of the American Meat Institute (packers), argued against revival of meat price ceilings on the grounds that the Industry Is rapidly meeting public needs. AFL Launches Political Plan CHICAGO (U.BThe AFL, the nation's largest trade union or ganization, added its full strength Tuesday to labor participation in political activities. Raising its voice against the "dismal record" of the recent Con gress, the organization's executive nnnri1 UnnHnv ftrHarorf AFT. nn.

The 15-man council directed that full Information on the vot ing records of each member of Congress seeking reelection be prepared and distributed to tho AFL's 7,000.000 members. The action was taken to enable members to "elect the friends of labor and defeat its enemies," the board said. Hoover Blasts Soviet Russia SALT LAKE CITY 0J.R) Bluntly asserting that freedom has shrunk rather than expanded sinco World War II, 71-year-old Herbert Hoover, former President of tho United States, Tuesday leveled a vigorous blast at Russia as the stumbling block to world peace. "There Is universal desire in all nations except Russia to make peace," declared Hoover, recently returned after a world, tour study?. Ing alleviation of condlUons for the world's starving peoples. "My own impression is that Russia Is obstructing to gain time for elim ination of all non-Communist ele ments and thus consolidation and practical absorption of those areas behind the 'iron curtain' and Manchuria." America's "depression Presi dent" declared that Russia's in vigorated fifth columns in every country add to the confusion, with the result that the remainder of the world Is rapidy concentrating Its fears and animosities toward the Reds. Hoover, In Salt Lake City on the first leg of a fishing trip with his son, Allen Hoover, sold his Impression of Russia's place in world affairs was only one of sev eral conclusions he drew during his world-wide tour and conver sations with lop officials and other citizens In 38 nations. He pointed out that one year after World War I the dominant note was hope and confidence, whereas today it is fear and frustration. Former Surplus Property Official Tells of Pressure from Senator WAR Politics Aired in Hearing WASHINGTON W William Gilrcin, discharged War Assets Administration offici::l, testified Tuesday he once was Instructed to get rid of a subordinate and replace him with a man favored by Senator Myers (D-Pa). Gilrcin formerly was a WAA sales manager in Philadelphia. He told the house Surplus Com mittee that his immediate su perior had told him that "If I was smart. I would fire the man acting as my assistant and move in one who Is now my successor." He identified the former as Paul Wingalo and his successor as Joseph Muldowney, and then added: T was told It fall that Senator Francis E. Myers was Interested In having Muldowney pat on the payroll." Earlier Gilrein said he had been fired because ht had failed to respond to wishes of the Democratic Party organization in Philadelphia and the stale. "If I was 'in' politically I would still have a job," he de clared. Gilrcin said that his Immedi ate, superior, whom he identified as C. K. Du Mars, told him forcefully to ouiit Wingale and make way for Muldowney, "He lold me lo throw him (Wingale) the hell out of there," Gilrcin said. He told the committee that the reported interest of Senator Myers in Muldowney was related to him bv Joseph Dellert, a regional director of the surplus properly disposal agency. Gilrcin said there "probably was negligence" on his part In handling a surplus properly order ol Benjamin S. field, He denied repeatedly, how ever, that any "special treat ment" was accorded the Wash ington promoter and war con tracts broker. Gilrcin made his remarks to the House committee in describ ing how the Philadelphia WAA office handled an order for wire scrppning which Fields was "hand processing" for speedier action. "There was probably negli gence on my part, but nolhliir beyond that," (illreln testified In explaining why he gave Fields' order to a subordinate after the closing date for a sale. He also stated he "didn't no lice" that the order lacked proper certification to show it was intended for retailers to help ease the shortage of hous ing materials. Santiam Road Project Held PORTLAND (U.ra Two major public works projects were placed Indefinitely on the shelf Tuesday. after the Public Roads Adminis tration had been asked by Col. O. E. Walsh, district Army Engl neer, to make no awara nn mas for relocation of the North San tiam Highway. Walsh s request followed an earlier announcement that bids to construct the $9,000,000 Dorena Dam have been postponed. Relocation of the North Santiam Highway was In connection with the proposed construction of the Detroit Dam on the Santiam River. Col. Wakh cited high bids, the Sleclman public building mor. atorlum and limitation of the ex penditures now In force as rea sons for the action, Six Soldiers Die In Motor Pool Fire BERLIN C Six American soldiers were burned fatally and three others Injured Monday night In a fire that broke out in a mili tary police motor pool, the U.

A preliminary report said tho fire occurred while the soldiers were cleaning a garage building In the molor pool, located in the borough of Ncukoeln. British Aver Zionists in US Airl fCmimnlinnv f-tlU tJIIIUJtJllliJ LONDON -r (AP) A spokesman for the British Colonial Office specifically named "American financial sources" Tuesday as responsi ble for "encouraging and di recting" illegal immigration of Jews into Palestine. The spokesman made the state ment when asked by a reporter to describe the "very large finan cial contributions" which, a Brit ish government statement said Monday night, were financing a mass exodus of European Jews to the Holy Land. The government's statements announced Britain's decision to end illegal Immigra tion and to convey to "Cyprus or elsewhere" any immigrants arriv ing Illegally. "Total Blockade" Capping a long scries of diplo matic, military and naval meas ures intended to check the flow of Illegal immigrants from Europe to Palestine, the British Monday night announced a total blockade to bar them In the future, declar ing that civil war threatened the Holy Land. Coupled with the government's announced intention to shift to Cyprus the terminus of "the un derground railway to Palestine," was an accusation that a highly organized, Zionist-financed or ganization planned and assisted in the movement of refugees, thereby attempting "to force the hand of the British government" In future Palestine policy. (This was the statement later clarified to name "American sources.") Jewish reaction was prompt and bitter. One Jewish leader predicted the step would cause "much more suffering but It won't stop the stream of imml- American Aid Asked The British press soberly ex pressed unqualified approval of the move, and appealed again for American aid in solving the ex plosive problems of the Holy Land. Arnb leaders hailed the announcement as "good news." The colonial office said that In the last eight months, 9446 illegal Immigrants reached Palestine, with 3800 arriving In July alone. . . Work on Dam . To Be Delayed inneiinue postponement of tne invitation for bids on Dorena Dam probably will mean delay of the dam's completion for another entire season, W. A. Schwarz, res ident engineer for the U. S. En gineers on the project, said Tues day. It had been hoped that the contractor would be able to ac complish preliminary work of digging and blasting this year, but delay in call for bids will mean that a sufficiently early start can not be made, he pointed out. Effect of the delay made Itself felt Immediately, when the heavy hand fell on the painting of the housing units brought in from Vancouver, Work was to have started Monday by the contractor, W. L. Caywood of Portland, but he had not received clearance to go ahead. No more housing units can be brought in, other than the 30 coming under the contract held by the John L. Hudson Co. of Portland. Also In doubt Is the Installation of a sewage disposal system for the housing units. Relocation of roads, railroad and the Cottage Grove water line, however, will continue and is scheduled for completion in De cember. This work has been un der way since June 22. Postponement of the bids was announced by Col. O. E. Walsh, Portland district Army engineer, who earlier had been Informed that the moratorium on federal construction would not affect the project, since it already was un der way. Bids were invited Aug. 5, to be opened Sept 4. Col. Walsh said that at least 30 days' notice would be given prospective bid ders prior to the new date for opening bids. The moratorium was announced last week by John R. Steelman, reconversion director, and is to last for 56 days. Walsh also requested no award on bids for relocation? of the North Santiam highway In prep aration for the Detroit dam, an other unit of the project SLEEPS THROUGH FALL ELIZABETH, N. J.
