West Resource
Debate Rages
Dewey Pledges
Development
Of Resources
Candidate Prepares
Second Major Speech
ENROUTE TO DENVER WITH
DEWEY (IP) Western water and
land development was pledged
Tuesday by Gov. 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."

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.

Warren Heads
Into President's
Home Grounds
Present Leadership
Called 'Shambles'
EN ROUTE WITH WARREN
TO ST. LOUIS, (IP) Gov.
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;

United Nations
Gathers Again
PARIS (UP) The United. 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:

human conflict.".
Even as he spoke, the foreign ministers of the western
powers, meeting without Rus

tablishing peace. 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

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

devoted to opening speeches.
Scheduled to follow were organ

enable the general or steering
committee of the assembly to meet

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. He urged his re-

Reds Deny Right
To Debate Berlin
Crisis in Session
Big Four Occupying
Powers Must Agree ,
BERLIN (IP) German Com
munists said Tuesday the United
Nations General Assembly has no
authority to debate the Berlin
crisis.
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. G. Gllson, deputy fire
marshal.
