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.

PORTLAND WP) Bail of $2000

service agent, said she admitted

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.

Coulee Slides
Claimed Costly
WASHINGTON (P) Rec
lamation Commissioner Michael
W. 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.
