Watch Blood Pressure Jjovt Warren Advised WASHINGTON -OJ.B- Rep. filare E. Hoffman (R-Mich) ad tlised Gov. Earl Warren of Cali .rnia,. Saturday to watch his flood pressure if he hopes to be '.round when the GOP picks its ! residential nominee. V In a statement entitled "super iUnsitive presidential candidate," .Hoffman wondered if Warren is j a cry baby ... or just inexper ; meed in political campaigns." i It may be, he said, that Call junta's "delightful climate and 'bundance of everything good; useful and desirable" has mellow ed Warren so much that he Is .totally unaware that a cam , aign . is not honey and kisses." Items carried by air include fire fighting supplies, food, tractors, bridges and short wave walkie talkie radio sets. Aside from fire control work, planes are used to spray insect ridden forests, to reseed burned over timberland, and for other purposes. When the fire hazard rises and lightning threatens dry forests, planes fly regular patrols, helping lookouts posted on mountain peaks to watch for telltale smoke spirals. Fire fighting crews are flown In large planes from city air ports to landing strips nearest the fire. When a fire is spotted In a re mote area which couldn't be reached in a hurry to grounds men, the Forest Service's spectac ular parachuting smokejumpers are rushed to the scene to put out the blaze or slow its progress until help arrives. Foresters says the use of air planes has saved many millions of dollars worth of timber by making it possible to control fires rapidly and every minute counts when you're fighting a forest fire. Comparative figures are cited for the region comprising Mon tana, Northern Idaho and parts of Washington and South Da kota. The average annual fire loss there between 1905 and 1930 was 252,000 acres, against 8888 acres from 1940 to 1950. Most of the Forest Service's 257 smokejumpers work in the region, about 150 headquarter at Mis soula, Mont. The rest are at Idaho City and McCall, Idaho; Illinois Valley, Ore., and Intercity Air port, Lake Chelan, Wash. 6 Men Sought For Sabotage Pasadena Rose Floats Damaged ALHAMBRA, Calif. (U.R) Six men were sought Saturday for questioning in the sabotage of 12 floats entered in the Pasadena, Calif., Tournament of Roses Pa rade New Year's Day. M. D. Offen, manager of the Valley Decorating Co., manufac turer of the floats, told police he suspected a painter and five youths of the sabotage. He said the men were fired be cause of "tough attitudes." One of the floats was so badly damaged, he said, it did not ap pear in the parade. Officers said the exhaust pipe of the rose queen's float was cut, allowing deadly carbon monoxide fumes to collect and overcome the driver. Taft and Ike Supporters Hail Demands for 'Free' Candidate WASHINGTON W) A strong western demand for a Republican presidential nominee "who has no strings attached" was hailed Sat urday by backers of Senator Taft (R-Ohio) and General Dwight D. Eisenhower as a boost for their candidates. State chairmen from 18 Mid western and Rocky Mountain states, meeting in Chicago ap proved a resolution which said: "We advocate a situation which .will make it possible for the vot- Iprc in ennnnrt n candidate whnse hands are not tied and who has no AIR FORCE PLANE CRASHES WARRINGTON, England (U.R) An American Air Force plane crashed Saturday near Burton wood, largest United States air base in Great Britain. An officer at the field said that first uncon firmed reports raised fears that the 15 persons aboard were killed. strings attached, who will wage war without wavering against the gigantic pyramid of unholy power which has been erected on the banks of the Potomac." Taft backers immediately Inter preted this as a plug for their can didate. Taft has been vigorous in his denunciation of the Truman administration's handling of do mestic and foreign affairs and has attacked the centralization of powers in Washington. The supporters of Taft, actively seeking the GOP nomination, said they regarded the resolution of the state chairman as striking at efforts of some Republicans to get their party's nomination for Gen. Eisenhower. Political critics have contended Eisenhower would be -bound to support most of the Truman ad ministration foreign policies and thus in that field might be re garded as having some strings attached. Anthony's Bail Set at $2000 Formal Hearing Slated Tuesday PORTLAND WP) Bail of $2000 held Milton S. Anthony, 56, in jail Saturday on a charge of counter feiting at the State Prison. Bail of $500 likewise held Mrs. Lucy McGinnis Jackson In the same case. They appeared before U. S. Dis trict Judge Gus Solomon Friday. He set the amount of bail and ordered the two to appear Tues day afternoon for formal hearing. it was a mattetVof 50 dimes that put them in custody. Mrs. Jackson whose common law husband is in prison was accused of passing them. Frank J. Kenney, secret service agent, said she admitted she had. She said she got them in a tobacco sack from her hus band. Her husband said he found them while working on the prison farm. Oregon to Ask Federal Power Group to Stop Deschutes Dom PORTLAND P) The state of Oregon will ask the Federal Power Commission to reconsider licensing construction of a pow er dam on the Deschutes River. Should the Power Commission deny this request for a rehearing, the state will file a petition for review with the U.S. Court of Ap peals. Arthur Higgs, assistant state attorney general, told that to dam apponents here Friday. The commission recently au thorized Portland General Elec tric Co., to build Pelton Dam on the Deschutes In Central Oregon. Sportsmen, fish interests and other groups have opposed the dam on the ground that it would reduce or eliminate salmon runs. But PGE and the power com mission contend that, if anything, fish runs will be increased by the dam's related hatchery projects.

Straus estimated Saturday it might cost "tens of millions of dollars" to completely eliminate slides caused by changes in the Columbia River water level be low Grand Coulee Dam. He added, however, that the bu reau is continuing Its studies to "assure maximum stability com patible with economic feasibility." Straus' views were contained in a bureau statement enlarging on the commissioner's recent rejec tion of a proposal to increase peak power production at the Washing ton State damsite. The suggestion, made by the Defense Electric Power Adminis tration, involved storage of water behind the dam for release at pe riods of peak power need. Straus said the proposal would involve a serious risk to downriver installa tions. The present operating procedure limits river level fluctuations to not more than four feet in 24 hours.
