To Speak at Dinner
Before going to the-Swedish-
American gathering tonight, the
president will speak briefly to a
"non-political" dinner at Chica
go's Palmer house but not so
non-political that Chicago's lead
ing politicians won't be there.
President Truman was in high
spirits as his train left Wash
ington's Union station at 11:05
o'clock (EDT) last night for the
start of a two-week toiir that will
touch- 18 states. Chairman J.
Howard McGrath of the democra
tic national committee, Secretary
of state George C. Marshall and
most otner cabinet members were
among those who saw him off.
' There was, however, no sigri
of the picketing threatened by
the three railroad unions whose

blocked when the president seized
the railroads and obtained a no

cross-country trip was "non-Doli-

it as a stump tour nontheless.
Carroll Reece, republican na
tional chairman, last night urged
Charles Rozmarek, president of
the Polish-American congress in
Chicago, to call the president to
task for. his "shameful agree
ments at Potsdam."
"You are in a splendid position
to ask the president if he propos
es to sign ... legislation to cor
rect some of his own mistakes,"
Reece wired Rozmarek. "Or
whether, as with other beneficial
republican legislation, he will pv.
ercise his veto."
May Change Itinerary
Reece referred specifically to
a senate-approved bill under
which half of all displaced per
sons to be admitted to this coun
try would be refugees from coun
tries annexed by Russia.
President Truman's trip to the
atomic energy plant at Hanford,
Wash., probably will be dropped
in favor of an appearance at
Grand Coulee dam on June 9.

him to leave his train at Spo

Portland's annual rose festival

Directors met last night to dis

Mayor Earl Riley cast the only
dissenting vote, contending that
consequences of the Vanport dis
aster and threat of high waters
from both the Columbia and Wil
lamctte made It advisable to re
strict the program.
Whether to stage the floral pa
rade actually became the point of
contention. Riley said facilities of

by the flood emergency and could
not support a full festival pro
gram.
Mayor Opposes Move
"The Deoole of the nation will
not be able to understand such a
celebration when we are asking
congress for aid, Riley said.
Finance directors of the festl'

Troops and Volunteers Move
Into Battle To Save Columbia
Dikes As New Flood Threatens
Crest Sweeps Into Lowlands From Mountains
And Portland Get Warning of More Trouble;
, No Bodies Found Yet in Flooded Vanport City
By Roger Johnson
(United PreHB Suff Correvitondent)
Portland, June 4 ';U.E) More troops and volunteers were
thrown into the battle today to save the water-soaked Col-,
umbia river dikes which were threatened by a new crest
sweeping down from the Rocky mountains.
As the emergency crews fought against the new danger,
Portland, June 4 Ui A new flood crest rushing down the
Columbia river will go over previous levels, posing a critical
threat to water-soaked dikes, the weather bureau said today.
Elmer Fisher, river forecaster, said the new flood stage would
go to 80.8 feet at Vancouver, Wash., and 30.5 feet at Portland,
at least a half-foot higher than Sunday's disastrous crest
which wiped out Vanport City.
the Red Cross reported that 13 persons, including 11 chil
dren, were listed tentatively as "unaccounted for" in the
Vanport City tragedy last
Sunday.
But, . the Red Cross said,
there was no definite proof
that the 13 were dead.
River forecasters broadcast
alarms that the new crest will hit
this area some time Monday and
will have almost the same volume
as last week's destructive flood.
Elmer Fisher, weather bureau
forecaster, said the Columbia
will climb to 29.5 meet at Van
couver and 29.3 at Portland, bare
ly six Inches below the level
reached Tuesday night and Wed
nesday morning at the peak of
the Columbia's first rampage.
Troops Move In
The fresh troops and volun
teers joined hundreds of weary
workers fighting to save lives
near the river's outlet to the Pa
cific ocean at Astoria.
Thirty planes, including several
C-47 transports, were poised to
ferry hundreds of thousands of
sand bags to Portland from Sacra
mento and Stockton, calif., to
replenish a . dwindling supply,
army engineers said..-
At Clatskante, nine dikes were
considered "crltlcpiU' from soft
ening due to excessive seepage.
A series of high tides rolling up
from the mouth of the Columbia
against the flood crest aggravat
ed the situation.
Seepage Noted
Engineers said there was "ex
tensive seepage" along the Blue
lake dike, only major outer em
bankment still intact along the
flooded north Portland lowlands.
Authorities,- meanwhile, - took
extraordinary measures to com
bat widely-circulated rumors
that bodies had been recovered
from the Vanport City ruins and
that news of the discoveries had
been suppressed. - i
County coroner Earl Smith,
Chief of police James Fleming of
Portland, Maj. Gen.. Thomas E.
Rilea, commander of the Oregon
national guard, and Capt. V. M.
Gurdane, commander of Oregon
state police in Portland, all Issued
emphatic denials that any bodies
had been found.
No Bodies Found
"We have found no bodies and
have not even heard of a singla
one," said Chief Fleming. "We
know that one truck driver and
his truck went into the flood but
his body has not been found.
"It is quite possible there are
Doaies in tne debris, but to date
none has been discovered and the
Information will be given the
