Thomas E. Dewey In answer to President Truman's chai-fie that the Repub licans plan "sabotage of the Wset." Following Mr. Truman in Den ver, the Republican presidential nominee prepared in his second major speech of the campaign there tonight to talk about "our land as the basic resource of our country's material strength." Conservation The quotes were those of Paul Lockwood, the New York gover nor's secretary, who told report ers: "The governor will discuss the need to conserve our natural re sources and to develop our coun try for the future. He will pledge an administration that under stands our land and water pro blems and that will keep our country strong as it works earnestly for peace in the world." Direct Reply This added up to a direct reply to Mr. Truman's assertion that if the Republicans win in November they will "try to turn back the clock to the day when the West was an economic colony of Wall Street." Republicans were visibly disap pointed that rain "spoiled their plans for an open air meeting, in Des Moines Monday night when the Republican nominee called in his first formal speech of the cam paign for " a foreign policy based on the belief that we can have peace." Blr Crowd -.. .. ., ........ But a howling, whistling crowd estimated at 8000 persons gave Dewey a rousing send-off in the jammed Drake University Field House. After his speech, the governor drove in an open car around the Drake stadium where an overflow of several thousand persons listened to his talk over a public address system, Dewey's move into Colorado emphasized his support of William F. Nicholson, GOP nominee for the Senate, who is opposing Sena tor Edwin C. Johnson, Democrat. His Doctrine While Mr. Truman blamed the Republicans in his Denver speech for high prices, Dewey contented himself in Des Moines with setting forth a doctrine of his own for the next administration he hopes to head. In his own words, it was: Foreign Policy "I pledge to you a foreign policy based upon the firm belief that we can have peace. That policy will be made effective by men and women who really understand the nature of the threat to peace and who have the vigor, the knowledge and the experience required to wage peace successfully." w Miv stasis !

IP VANE COUNTY'S EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1948 Committees Said Ignorant About Needs of West Haven't Been There, President Declares EN ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT TRUMAN, (U.R) President Tru man, as he campaigned from Colo rado into Utah Tuesday, accused Republican chairmen of the House and Senate appropriations com mittees of being ignorant about the problems of the West. Mr. Truman, after criticizing the Republicans for reducing appro-1 priations for reclamation projects at the last session, picked out as 1 his particular target the Republi can chairmen of the House and Senate appropriations committees, Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hamp shire, and Rep. John Taber of New. York. How Far? "What do they know about the West?" he shouted. "I doubt that either one of them has ever been west of the Appalachian Moun tains. "If the senator was out here on a jaunt or something, he probably didn't know what he was looking at." The President appeared rested and refreshed after one of his longest spells of speechmaking and public appearances since leaving the White House in his 18-car special train last Friday. 27th Speech In his brief platform appear ance at Grand Junction, he de livered his 27th speech of the ar duous campaign tour to date. After reviewing reclamation, power and preservation of the soil as the "life blood of the.. West," the President told of this regiWs- "rolling advancement" after the late President Franklin D. Roose velt was first elected. Wants Big- Vote Then he appealed for support of the Democratic ticket next Nov. 2. He cautioned that two-thirds of the people of the United States failed to vote in 1946, in which year the "do-nothing 80th Con gress came into being. Mr. Truman cited the .reduced appropriations for western devel opments brought about by that Congress and asserted the cuts were made "with malice afore thought." Can't Afford It The Grand Junction audience, the ranks of which were swelled by school children recessed for the occasion, was told that It "can't afford to have a Republican con gress and president during the next four years." Throughout the President's ser ies of eight speeches in Colorado, he urged his audiences to "study the record" and then decide for themselves who should be elected. The President's major speech Tuesday will be at the huge tab ernacle in Salt Lake City at 8 p.m. Delightful Confusion Opening of Fair Set for 7 a. m. Everything was in a state of delightful confusion at the Lane County fairgrounds Tuesday as workers raced through the crisp fall sunshine to get their displays ready for the 7 a. m. opening of the gates Wednesday first day of the annual Lane County Fair. The really enthusiastic fair goers may arrive as early as 7 a.

Earl Warren invaded President Truman's home state of Missouri Tuesday amid indications that the Warren campaign axe was about to swing with increased vigor on Democratic Party leadership. A whooping audience in Tulsa. Okla., Monday night heard the Republican vice-presidential can didate take his first full-fledged swipe at the President. Lambast Talking at Tulsa Coliseum, the Californian lambasted Mr. Tru man for "intemperate" and "belli gerent threats," and charged they proved only the incumbent ad ministration had become a "sham bles." Warren took Mr. Truman to task for his campaign-opening re mark, "I am going to give them hell." If the President meant by "them" everyone who disagreed with his administration, Warren declared, then he would have to include Democrats as well as Re publicans. Proves One Thing "Such threats can prove only one thing," he said. "That is, that the incumbent ad ministration is a shambles; that it is dispirited, chaotic, quarrelsome and desperate." "And," he added, "after all is said and done on this subject it has been shown that people who start out with the publicly avowed purpose to give somebody hell, are usually the first ones to cry 'red herring' when something amiss is discovered in their own back yard." The Warren campaign train left Tulsa early Tuesday morning for a day of platform stops across Missouri. The Republican vice-presidential candidate is due in St. Louis at 4 p. m. and is scheduled to speak at Kiel Auditorium Tues day night. Mediator Asked State of Israel PARIS (U.FS Count Folke Bernadotte in a last statement before his assassination by Jewish terrorists appealed for United Nations recognition of the state of Israel, it was announced Monday. He also recommended abolition of his own job of UN mediator in favor of a Palestine concilia tion commission which . would work for permanent peace be tween Jews and Arabs. Bernadotte's statement, complet ed only a few hours before his murder in Jerusalem Friday, con sisted of a 150-page report to the UN General Assembly which meets here Tuesday. He asked recognition by the Assembly and by the Arab world that -"the Jewish state called Israel exists in Palestine and that there are no sound reasons for assuming that it will not continue to do so;" That a Palestine conciliation commission replace the present UN machinery in Palestine and help conclude real peace; That Jerusalem be internation alized under UN authority. crowds in history, and the Brown ing Brothers Carnival will swing into high gear at noon.

Nations, faced with a com plete breakdown between the East and the West over Ger man, opened its third General Assembly Tuesday on the grim keynote of fear of war. The temporary assembly president, Juan Bramuglia of Argentina, opened the assembly in the theater of the ultra modern, flag bedecked Palais de Chaillot overlooking the Seine. Before the leaders of both sides of a cold war which ap peared to have reached the showdown stage, Bramuglia said: v "We are confronted with human conflict.". Even as he spoke, the foreign ministers of the western powers, meeting without Rus sia represented, were weigh. ing the Berlin crisis and ap parently preparing to turn it over xo ine uin. Bramuglia appealed to all na tions to shun force and to aban don all thoughts of resorting to war, even in the cause of re-es- PARIS-(U.R) Foreign Minister H. V.

Obviously with the Berlin crisis in mind, he said: "War as the final point in a phase of disagreement cannot be either the goal of hope or the goal of despair. Influence must be di rected in all countries away from the stimulation of warlike ener gies. Then he concluded solemnly: "I call upon you to reflect. I call you to peace." Fifty-eight members of the UN gathered for the opening ceremo nies. Tuesday's assembly session was devoted to opening speeches. Scheduled to follow were organ ization and elections which would enable the general or steering committee of the assembly to meet soon, possibly Tuesday night. On the program when finally approved will be Borne of the world's most critical problems the Balkans', atomic energy, the former Italian colonies, disarm ament, and armed forces for the UN. But they will fade into the back ground if the West's foreign min isters decide formally to put the Berlin case on the agenda, either of the assembly or the security council. Russia will fight long and hard for the thesis that the problems of Germany are problems which fall only within the jurisdiction of the big four. Morse to Go East Friday Sen. Wayne L. Morse will leave directly for Washington, D. C. Friday morning, from Ontario, Ore., his office in Eugene an nounced Tuesday.

CITY n a threat of new and dreadful ORLANDO J. HOLLIS Hollis Elected Chamber Head Orlando John Hollis became president of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce Monday night at the organization's annual meeting, and in accepting the office expressed a conviction that the chamber should further develop its leader ship in civic affairs as well as in the business field. Referring to the organization's original charter, the dean of the University of Oregon school of law noted the Eugene chamber was formed by "friends of the community" with the express pur pose of developing the welfare of Eugene and its environs. In this thought, Hollis antici pated remarks made later by Sen ator Wayne L. Morse, principal speaker at the Eugene Hotel ban quet meeting. Senator Morse advised the peo ple of Eugene to view critically the mounting problems of health, housing and community plan ning. "I speak only as a taxpayer and a neighbor," the senator told the chamber members and many of their wives, "but Eugene is not the fine place to build a home . . . to raise children that it was a few years ago. You had better do something about it." 72-13 Vole In the chamber's election of new officers, Hollis received a 72-13 ballot victory over John Gallagher, insurance dealer who was nom inated from the floor by Clarence J. Brown, realtor. Brown pointed out that Gallagher was president of the chamber when he entered military service.

Obviously mirroring Moscow's views, the Communists said the blockade and allied German problems can be settled only by the four occupying powers the United States, Britain, France end Russia. Neues Deutschland, official newspaper of the Soviet-snonsored and Communist-controlled Social ist Unity Party, discussed report ed American plans to bring the Berlin issue before the U.N. in Paris. "Uphold Peace" "The chief problem of our times the German question can only be settled by the great powers which are occupying our country," Nenes Deutschland said. "It is the task of the United Nations to up hold peace and security among nations. But to construct 'a peace for Germany is the task only of the Foreign Minister's Council. So is was decided at Potsdam." The Russian-controlled Berlin press claimed that bringing the Berlin question before the U.N. would result In the "torpedoing" of the prolonged big four con ferences In Moscow on East West differences. The Russians also charged that Germans are being groomed for the role of mercenary soldiers in a future war against the Soviet Union. "Criminal Policy" Taegliche Rundschau, official publication of the Soviet military administration, said the "criminal policy" supported by Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the American military governor, "will provoke a new war." In this war, the paper said, western' Germans "will play the role of mercenaries." Not Interested "The future welfare of the Ger man people does not interest these war mongers as it did not interest the Hitler clique, which allowed millions of Germans to die," Taegliche Rundschau said. The Berlin city government, forced by riots two weeks ago to withdraw to Berlin's western sec tors, charged that the Soviets had snuffed out democratic govern ment in the Soviet sector. Firemen Plan For Joint Aid The Lane County Firemen's) Assn. Monday night resolved dis cussions of several months into action and initiated a plan to start area-wide discussions of general disaster preparedness. With almost 90 fire chiefs and firemen attending, the group voted to promote mutual aid fire protection agreements among all cities and fire protection districts in this section. Noting that Marlon county al ready has in effect a plan to co ordinate all public safety agen cies, medical organizations and relief groups, the firemen then ap pointed a four-man committee to arrange for a general meeting of public officials and organizational leaders to discuss the development of a similar plan in Lane County. Committee Named Ray Hicks, assistant chief of the Eugene fire department and presi dent of the association, Tuesday announced that members of the action committee are Marvin Hendrickson, Bethel; Harry Mel son, Springfield; Adolph Daniel- son, Junction City, and E. L. Sur- fus, chief of the Eugene depart ment. Hicks explained the firemen do not expect to direct the formula tion of the disaster plan. "We know that the Red Cross has a fine disaster organization already standing in readiness," Hicks said. "But we believe that we can help to promote a more general pre paredness against all kinds of dis aster in all parts of the county. "We felt that someone had to take the lead, and that's what we are doing in suggesting the area disaster-plan meeting," Hicks said. ation, meeting at the Danebo sta tion, heard a discussion of dis aster problems Monday night pre sented by several members of the state fire marshal's office: Jack Hayes, state disaster coordinator; John Picket, vocational instructor, and M.
