The department said Sen. Joseph
C. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo) chairman
of the committee on interior and
insular affairs, and Rep. J. R. Pet
erson, chairman of the House
mDlic Lands Committee, were
unable to accept the department's

terials distributed Thursday. The
city has been divided into 14
parts, each headed by a district
chairman or major. Teams of soli
citors for the districts vary in size
according to the density of the
population.
Although some districts have
not yet been fully organized, it
is expected that the enrollment
will be completed within the next
few days. The co-chairmen are
requesting the assistance of all
women who either helped in the
past or who are now in a position
to make some of the home calls.
Last year, on a goal of $10,000,
the women's residential division
raised $10,199. This year the goal
is $9,858, with $5100 for the east
side and $4758 for the west side.
First reports from the women's
division will be made next Tuesday.

Safari Party
To Study
Ghost City
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
W) A small expedition is
pushing through the grassy
wastes of the Florida Ever
glades in search of the key that
will unlock the mystery of an
abandoned village about 30
miles west of here.
The little safari traveling In
two lumbering swamp buggies
is made up of L. P. Harvey,
game warden William Gill of
Davie; Ed Peterson of the State
Game and Fish Commission;
and three newsmen.
The group hoped to learn the
fate of a rotting "ghost town"
located several days ago by a
private pilot, Hully Stirling.
Stirling, Gill and Harvey re
ported they had visited the vil
lage and found the bones of
humans and animals strewn
through the rotting cypress
buildings. They displayed pots
and brass kettles which they
said were brought from the
mystery town.
Several theories have been
advanced as to the fate of the
settlement, none of which has
been substantiated.
One was that the village was
founded by Confederate sol
diers who fled with a quantity
of gold bullion at the close of
the war between the states.
Another was that the settle
men once was an Army outpost,
and all of its occupants were
massacred by Seminole Indians.
Still another was that a great
tropical hurricane claimed the
lives of the entire community,
before the storms were record
ed. An epidemic also could have
wiped out the population.
The expedition left in the
specially made vehicles for
swamp travel. It will take at
least two days to penetrate the
thick tangle of vines, sawgrass
and underbrush.

tioned that Gent was obviously
performing for the benefit of an
audience of high school students.
Many Complaints
Gent and the witness said they
had not gone over ten miles per
hour, that their tires had not
screeched and that the gas had
splashed from the tank not be
cause of speed but because of a
faulty tank.
Assistant Chief of Police Ted
Brown told the court that manv
complaints had been received
from the high school vicinity

cilmen had asked that police do

cense for a six months' Deriod.
after explaining that this marked
Gent's ninth appearance in the
.fcugene court.
in anotner rignt-of-way case
there was a fine of $35 against
Walter W. Burgett of Cottage
Grove. He was also accused of
having an expired driver's license.
His vehicle was also registered
improperly.
Burgett pleaded guilty to the
license and registration charges
but claimed the right-of-way
charge was invalid as the vehicle
with which he collided had been
traveling at an excessive speed.
His witness, a passenger at the
time of the accident, claimed the
other auto had been going at least
50 mph. City investigators esti
mated from evidence that his
speed had been nearer 10 mph.
ADUslve Language
Burgett's witness was accused
of using abusive language and of
being under the influence of alco
hol, by the city officer. Detective
Edward Bunch quoted the witness
as saying "Anybody who says he
wasn't going fifty has me to fight!"
In other cases:
A father said "I know it is mv
fault that we let him drive" after
his fifteen-year-old son had been
apprehended driving after run
ning a red traffic light.
James Ward, a second-offender,
had his bail raised from $5 to $25.
His case was continued to a later
date when Judge Barber found
that the youth was charged with
another offense.
Teen-age Ward, charged with
driving defective equipment, com
plained because the officer had
described his auto as a "hotrod."
He said it was "just a Ford like
other Fords." But questioning re
vealed that it was comprised of
major parts from seven different
models of Fords. Also, it had no
fenders, no bumpers, no hood, no
windshield-wiper, no windshield,
no rear brakes and was missing
several other parts.
Spins wheels
The arresting officer stated that
the youth seemed to have been
traveling at excessive speed, but
that he hadn't been able to clock
him accurately. He testified how
ever that the youth had spun his
wheels on dry pavement after
stopping at a traffic light.
Ward explained that he was in'
capable of picking up speed in his
Ford without "peeling the tires,'
as the rear end was too light and
the power too great. He defied
anyone in the courtroom to do it,
saying "It's just that kind of a
car."
LONDON (U.PJ The editor
of the Socialist newspaper Daily
Mirror charged Thursday that "6
million Americans live in slums
and shacks in which I would not
put a backyard pig on a farm in
England."
Editor Claud Morris suggested
that Britons who receive food
parcels from the United States
send them back to the 4 million
Americans who need them more
than you do."
Morris recently concluded an
American discovery flight" to
the United States. He said some
16.000 parcels of food and cloth
ing left there every week for
Britain.
"Would Be Godsend"
"They would be a godsend to
millions of U.S. citizens whose
present poverty is hidden in the
back streets in hundreds of cities
and towns," he said.
He said there were 20,000 "rich"
individuals in the United States
the America of the films which
the world envies but that there
is also an "America in which the
following facts are quite evident:
Lack Medical Care"
"Twenty million human beings
in America lack adequate medical
care and cannot even begin to af
ford it.
"In U.S. industrial towns 90 per
cent of American working men
have lost all their savings since
the war through a reluctance to
have 'state control' of rising prices.
"Rent controls have been re
moved over one third of the
American continent with the re
sult that millions have had their
rent doubled."
Middle of Road
Course for GOP
SIOUX RAPIDS, la. (P)
Republican National Chairman !
Guy Gabrielson says the GOP
must steer a steady, middle-of-the-road
course between "radicals
at both ends of the social scale."
The Republican Party, he said,
believes there are "radicals who
are as dangerous on the extreme
right as there are thos who are
threatening upon the extreme
left." Gabrielson added:
"Our party sees clearly that it
must steer a steady course be
tween these opposites. It is as bad
a thing for the extreme rightists
to seize control as it is for the ex
treme radicals of the Red persuasion.
"We must protect our people
from exploitation by men who
would turn back the clock to the
old, evil days of predatory wealth
with as much zeal as we must
protect them against those who
would drag us down into the chaos
of communism of state socialism,"
Republican Party leaders in re
cent weeks have been concen
trating almost exclusively on
name-calling against the Truman
administration.
While Gabrielson did not say
whom he meant by radical right
ists, he left no doubt about the
target of his leftist fire it was
the Fair Deal.

Lane Continues
Slash Burning
About 15,000 acres have been
burned or are in the process of
burning throughout Lane County
as the three fire protective asso
ciations continued slash disposal
projects with careful watch on
the weather.
Heavy smoke has drifted across
the county for the last three days
as West Lane and East Lane set
fire, or issued permits for burn
ing, over about 6000 acres each.
Willamette Forest is burning some
areas, particularly at Oakridge,
and plans to burn 5000 acres in
the near future.
West Lane has about 40,000
acres to burn and East Lane has
about 15,000.
West Lane at Veneta reported
Thursday morning that forests
were very dry, but that early
morning fogs are keeping some
moisture in the timber areas.
East Lane, however, reported
been stopped, except In cases
where loggers are willing to take
responsibility for any spread of
fire. The association Is advising
against burning in the face of low
humidity, average Class 5 days
and some easterly winds.
Fire Damages
UC Dorm
BERKELEY, Cal. (U.PJ A fire
partially destroyed the "Beau del
Aire" women's dormitory of the
University of California on Pros
pect Avenue after 19 of its coed
roomers scampered to safety.
Eleven pieces of fire equipment
answered the three bell alarm
which gutted the third floor of
the building and partially burned
the second.
Deputy Fire Chief Howard Lc
Strange estimated the fire and
water damage at $15,000.
He said the probable cause was
defective wiring. One fireman
was struck on the head by falling
debris and slightly injured. Fire
men said a makeshift fire door on
the third floor helped to keep the
blaze from spreading more than
it did.
A crowd of 5000 onlookers,
mostly students, milled around
the area, somewhat impeding ef
forts of firemen.
