Newspaper Page Text2A Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore. Tues., July 13, 1954 Hot Air Wave Bakes Plains By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The biggest heat wave so far this summer baked central sec tions of the nation Tuesday with little real relief in sight. At least eight deaths were it- tnbutcd to the heat. The mercury zoomed to an un official 121 degrees in Pittsburg, Kans., Monday and plus-100-de- gree readings were common from the Rockies eastward to the Great Lakes. Local water shortages develop ed in some communities from the heat and lack of rainfall, but no widespread crop damage has de veloped yet. In Kansas City, where the temperature reached 109, so many people turned on their air conditioners that power lines be came overloaded. The Kansas City Power and Light Co. said power use hit an all-time high Monday night. Midwest City, an Oklahoma City suburb of 20,000, ran out of water as 107-degree heat led to record consumption. Officials said shortages will occur daily as long as the heat continues These all-time high heat records were set Monday: Columbia, Mo., 113; Spring field, Mo., 108; Rapid City, S. D., 109; Dallas, Tex., llu.3; UKia homa City, 107; and Casper, Wvo.. 104. The temperature reached 90 or above in all states except a strip along the Atlantic coast from the Carolinas to New Eng land and in the northwest over Washington. Governors Argue Ike's Road Plan BOLTON LANDING, N. Y. W) Governors divided sharply Tues day on how to carry out President Eisenhower's bold proposal for a 50-billion-dollar transcontinental highway program. Almost without exception, Republican and Democratic governors agreed that the country needs a 10-year expansion of roads that ; would shape up as one of the country s greatest permanent, nonwar (Construction programs. But there was a distinct feel ing among leaders of the 46th annual Governors Conference here that the President had laid down a challenge to them in the historic controversy over state and federal powers. Against a backdrop of confer ence demands that the federal government get out of the road building business, Vice President Nixon put to the governors at their annual state dinner Monday night a presidential suggestion for an interstate road program designed to provide transport for 200 million Americans by 1970. WAR NEED Reading notes the President had prepared for a speech which Eisenhower canceled after the death of a sister-in-law, Nixon told the governors in the Presi dent's words that the appalling inadequacies of America's high ways must be solved "to meet the demands of catastrophe or de fense should atomic war come." Eisenhower suggested that the governors study a proposal for federal-state cooperation under which Washington might "ad vance funds or guarantee the ob ligations of localities or states which undertake to construct new or modernize existing highways." To some governors who had been plugging for abolition of federal gasoline and auto taxes so the states could finance their own road building, this sounded not only like continuation of the federal aid program but an ex pansion of it. Gov. Dan Thornton, Colorado Republican and chairman of the conference, gave reporters this interpretation of the President's message: A CHALLENGE' "The President is tossing a challenge to the governors. He says 50 billion dollars is needed for roads in the next 10 years. The states are being offered the opportunity to go ahead under local management. The inference is that if the states don't do it, the federal government will." In advance of a conference panel discussion of the issue, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York said in a separate interview that he docs not believe the President necessarily implied that the federal government must remain in the roadbuilding bust ncss. 1 fiHiAriHNkfiift,3riH as AUSTRIAN FLOOD PATROL Police In a rubber raft row through a street in the heart of Linz, Austria, seeking victims marooned by flood waters of the Danube River.

Chief of Army Knee Deep In McCarthys SHANNON, Ireland IAV-U. S. Army Secretary Robert T. Stev ens found himself knee deep in McCarthys Monday when his ulana stooped at this internation al airport en route from Paris to Washington. The secretary has been touring Army units in West Europe. Operations officer Charles Mc Carthy cleared the plane for land ing. At the control tower microphone was Jack McCarthy. The immigration officer who okayed Stevens to leave the plane was another Jack McCarthy. The customs officer who learn ed he has nothing to declare just passing through was John Mc Carthy. Stevens went to the airport post office to mail some postcards and got his stamps from Tom Mc Carthy. Messenger Nick McCarthy took his order for a cup of coffee, and lounge attendant Taddy McCar thy brought it to him. "I seem," said Stevens, "to be in McCarthy country." Hague Served Papers at Rite JERSEY CITY, N. J, W Frank Hague, former Democratic chief tain, was slapped with two sub penas Monday whilo attending funeral services for his nephew, city commissioner Frank Hague Eggcrs. When the first subpena was penas was thrust at Hague out side the funeral home, a near riot followed in the waiting crowd. The second subpena was served on the 78-yoar-old former mayor while his car was stopped for a traffic light on the way homo from the funeral. The first subpena ordered Hague's appearance in a court suit brought by the city to re cover three million dollars. The second demanded Hague's appear ance at a city commission hear ing July 21. For months, summons servers had sought to hand Hague the papers that would bring him into court and betore the investigat ing committee which is looking into the city's financial affairs during his and Eggcrs' adminis trations. The city suit names Hague, Eg gcrs and John F. Malone, and seeks to recover funds allegedly collected from municipal em ployes as campaign contributions. Morse Blocks Picketing Bill WASHINGTON W Sen Morse (Ind Ore) Tuesday blocked a bill to forbid picketing in the streets surrounding the White House. "I don't propose to be a party to police state methods in the United States," Morse said. He cast his own vote and the proxy vote of the absent Sen. Nccly (D-W Va) at a public hear ing to provide the 2-1 margin by which a Senate District of Co lumbia subcommittee shelved the Meeting Called By McCarthy WASHINGTON im Sen. Mc Carthy (R-Wis) Tuesday called for a Senate investigations sub committee meeting Thursday which could produce action demands for the firing of some staff employes. McCarthy, the chairman, told newsmen he was calling tne meeting specifically as a step to ward his long-deferred investiga tion of alleged Communist infil tration in defense plants. He said he will invite the sub committee's members, however, to let him know in advance if they want to take up other mat ters. Sen. Jackson (D-Wash) promptly announced he will move to take up staff problems. Jackson said, however, it would be prematura to say now what steps he and the other subcom mittee Democrats may propose. All three have-joined in saying there should be a staff house cleaning. And on June 17, as the subcom mittee would up 36 days of hear ings into the row between Mc Carthy and high Army officials, Sen. Potter (R-Mich) said he be lieved some firings were in order among employes on both sides. Potter named no one. Tha chief target of the Army allegations was subcommittee counsel Roy M. Cohn. Potter and the three Democrats constitute a majority of the sub committee, which has four Re publican members. GIs, Red Troops Fight Rising River VIENNA, Austria Wl Ameri can and Russian troops worked within a few hundred yards of each other outside Vienna Tues day in an effort to save a U.S. airfield and two Austrian villages from floods. The waters of the swollen Dan ube River raging downstream after leaving 70,000 homeless in Germany and Western Austria threatened the U.S. Air Force base at Tullin. Isolated in the Russian occupation zone of Au stria, it is 22 miles northwest of Vienna's American sector. German officials said the air field was "pretty much out of danger" unless the waters took a big rise. Floods from the Danube ap proached within 200 yards of the field, inundating the communi ties of Tullin and Langenlebarn and flooding a road connecting them with the airfield. The Russians sent troops and trucks to one stretch of the road, while the Americans sent trucks and scores of airmen to another stretch. The police said there was no actual cooperation between the Cold War opponents. "They pass by each other on the highway, but they ignore each other," one official said. The flood, the worst in centur ies in central Europe, took an other victim Monday. A 3-year- old child fell into the swirling Danube near Vienna, bringing the total dead reported in Au stria and East and West Germany to 28. Conservative estimates placed property damage at hundreds of millions of dollars. 00$ i LIMITED QUANTITIES,S0RRY NO MAIL, PHONE OR C.O.D.Oty CLEARANCE OF COSTUME JEWELR Wonderful buys in earrings, necklc pins, and bracelets.

Reynolds (R-Ncb) announced he would file a minority report on the action with the full district committee, which could revive the legislation. Rep. Gentry (D-Texas), author of the House-passed bill, testified it had its beginning in what he termed "the disgusting and re volting spectacle" of a picket line that ringed the White House ground last year in futile ap peals for the condemned atomic spies, Julius and Ethel Rosen berg. The two spies finally were electrocuted. Barking Dogs Gain an Hour WATERTOWN, N. Y. UPl A barking dog's life, the City Coun cil says, can begin an hour ear lier each morning. The council voted to amend a recent ordinance that stipulated that dogs "are not permitted to howl or bark between the hours of 11 p.m. and 8 a.m. so as to disturbc the neighbors." Yielding slightly to the pro tests of dog owners who had trouble convincing their pts, the councilmen moved the morning curfew back tp 7 a.m. THIS SEAL wP- SfSSSf 5-2341 3-1943 Purchase Your General Electric Appliances at George Schaeiers 7th and Chamelton Plenty of Parking and Green Stamps By insuring careful drivers only, substantial savings are passed on to tho policyholder.
