Truman Plans
For Campaign
Taking Shape
By Joseph Nolan
(United Press Starr Correspondent.)
The campaign plans of Presi
dent Truman began taking shape
tnriflv.
Although the White House was
officially silent, it was disclosed
that Truman would open his for
nal drive for re-election with a
major political speech at a union
rally in Detroit on Labor day.
Ucoree Fitzgerald, cnairman 01
the Michigan democratic central
committee, said in Grand Rapids
that the president would prob
ably make "at least two" speech
es in Michigan during the day.
Besides the Detroit address, ne
said that Truman will also speak
at Grand Rapids. In addition,
Fitzgerald said, the president
probably will make short talks
from his train platform in Lan
sing and other cities.
Get Slight Boost
Meanwhile, the political for
tunes of the president and his
running mate, Sen. Alben W.
Barkley of Kentucky, got a slight
boost from an unexpected quar
ter North Carolina, a state In
the once solid south.
In the wake of Dixiecrat claims
that their anti-Truman ticket
will get at least 100 electoral
votes in the November elections,
Capus Waynick, new chairman
of North Carolina's democratic
executive committee, bitterly as
sailed dissenters from the demo
cratic party line.

of good political speeches for the

to withhold the release of a ten
tative schedule for his coast-to-coast
campaign until after he
confers next week with his run

California. Meanwhile, Victor
Johnson, one of Harold E. Stas

But Mrs. Vaughn declared that
she had "just begun to fight."

14th Olympics
End With U.S.
Big Winner
London, Aug. 14 (in The 14th
Olympic games, which turned
into an unparalleled show ot atn
letic power by the United States,
conclude today on a . note of in-
fnMintlnnnl ernnA will Vwlth IrnrU,
tional and colorful ceremonies ai
Wembley stadium.
With a maximum of dignity
and a minimum of speech-making,
the five ringed Olympic flag
was to be hauled down from atop
its lofty pole and the Olympic
flame extinguished. They, and
the Olympics, are scheduled to re
appear in Helsinki, Finland, in
1952.
Today's ceremonies were not
planned on nearly so vast a scale
as those which opened the games
in the stadium on July 29. In
stead of a long parade of 6,000
competitors, there will be a sim
ple procession of flag-bearers.
Win 38 Gold Medals
A grand total of 38 times dur
ing the games the United States
picked up gold medals. They
watched a dazzling array of U. S.
talent in all sports roll up a
total of 645 Mi points in unof
ficial team competition to shatter
the old mark of 628 set by Ger
many at Berlin in 193G.
There was still one event to be
completed today horsemanship,
with its colorful "Prix Des Na
tions" competition. And final re
sults in women's gymnastics were
to be announced. But these would
have little effect on the ranking
of teams.
In second place was Sweden
with 347 points and in third place,
France with 224. The U. S. score
topped both of those combined.
Hungary was fourth with
2012330 and Italy fifth with
182. Fifteen of the 59 nations
failed to break into the scoring.
The U. S. sweep was topped off
yesterday by a resounding win in
basketball as the Americans
drubbed France in the final game,
65 to 21.

High Soviet and U.S. Officials Confer
On Issue Over Russian School Teacher
Visit by Panyushkin Before
Mrs. Kosenkina's Attempted
Death Jump Is Made Known
Washintrton. Auk. 14 U.P) Soviet ambassador Alexander
S. Panyushkin conferred with Undersecretary of state Rob
ert A. Lovett for one hour and 40 minutes today on the case
of the soviet school teachers.
Although the soviet ambassador would make no comment
on the call, he disclosed that he went to New York last Satur
day to visit Mrs. Oksana S; Kosenkina ifi the Russian con
sulate there. She jumped from a window in the consulate on

York hospital under protec-;
tion of U.S. authorities.
"Did you ask Mrs. Kosen
kina to sign an affidavit?" A
reporter asked.
Panyushkin said "nyet" (no).
According to an interpreter,
Panyushkin said the ambassador
only asked her "how she happen
ed to be at the farm." ,,',
Claim "Rescue"
The "farm" was the one main
tained by the Tolstoy foundation
for anti-communist Russians. The
soviet consul at New York said
he "rescued" Mrs. Kosenkina
from the farm.
The conference at the state de
partment was' the longest that
has taken place between any
soviet ambassador and key state
department officials that observ
ers could remember.
Diplomatic officials already ba-
Heye" that- Russia's case against1
the United States in the bizarre
affair has all but melted away.
Although the Russian press and
radio still howled that U.S. au
thorities conspired to "kidnap"
the pair, these officials said that
the fast-moving events of the last
36 hours effectively have refut
ed the charge.
Explain Developments
They said that Mrs. Oksana S.
Kosenkina's three-story . jum p
from the soviet consulate In New
York and Mikhail I. Samarin's
statement that he doesn't want to
go back to Russia mean that:
1. Two of three soviet protests
against the alleged "kidnaping"
of the teachers can be rejected
outright. Replies can be based on
the statements of the two that
they are unwilling to live under
Russia's communism, it was said.
2. The third soviet protest re
garding the legal authority of
the New York state supreme
court to Issue a habeas corpus
writ against the soviet consul gen
eral in New York in effect was
nullified by Mrs. Kosenkina's
three-story plunge from the con
sulate. 3. Machinery already Is turning
to allow Mrs. Kosenkina and Sa
marian and his family indefinite
asylum In the United States.
The state department's formal
decision on the three protests is
awaiting the return of Secretary
of state George C. Marshall's
chief legal adviser, Ernest A.
Gross. He went to New York yes
terday by plane for official data
on the International dispute.

Greissinger Says
He Did Not Resign
From Police Job
Walter H. Greissinger said to
day that he did not resign from
the Bend police force, and that In
the event of "a reorganization of
the department" he and Fred
Painter, also a former member
of the force, feel that they should
be re instated with full back pay.
Greissinger said that he was
discharged from the force as the
direct result of his signing an
affidavit In connection with
charges made against Chief of
police K. C. Gullck. In an oral
statement to The Bulletin, he said
this morning:
"I was called to the office ot
City manager C. G. Rclter Thurs
day, August 5. It was apparent
that both the city manager and
the police chief had my dismissal
from the force In mind.
ContradlctA Gullck
"I wish to contradict Chief
Gulick's Inference in yesterday's
Bulletin that I have 'resigned.'
The chief told me, "It's either you
or me'."
Greissinger referred to the af
fidavit which four officers signed,
stating that they had knowledge
that some of certain charges
made against the police chief are
true, adding that It Is "signifi
cant" that three of the officers
are no longer on the force.
"We feel that the reorganiza
tion of the police department
should start at the top Instead
of the bottom," Greissinger de
clared. "In other words, the
cart has been put before the
horse. It is the chief whose res
ignation should have been re
quested." Greissinger said that there was
no reason for his dismissal from
the force, except "personal rea
sons" on the part of the chief.
He added that the police chief
had admitted the most serious
of the charges In the 13-polnt
document, at a public hearing of
the city commission.
The affidavit was also signed
by Dale Gibson, who resigned
from the force several months
ago. Name of the fourth signer
was not disclosed.

Russian Press and Radio
Continue Tirade Against U. S.
For Alleged Kidnaping Plot
Moscow, Aug. 14 ',U.E The Russian presaaand radio
charged today that Mrs. Askana Stepanova Kosenkina, cen
tral figure in the New York "kidnaping" case, was forcibly
carried off from the Russian consulate to an American hos
pital by federal agents Thursday.
All soviet papers and Radio Moscow gave extraordinary
prominence for the third successive day to the cases of the
two Russian school teachers.
The soviet accounts were printed under the headline "Ar
bitrariness and Violence of r : !
the American Police in Kos
enkina Case." They charged
that American federal agents
violated international law by
breaking into the Russian con
sulate, searching Mrs. Kosen
kina's room and taking her by
force to the hospital.
Send Six Dispatches
Six Tass dispatches from New
York, published In the govern
ment newspaper Izvestla, gave
Russian readers an up-to-tne-
minute soviet account of the hap
penings. One dispatch said that Mrs.
Kosenkina fell into the consular
yard, Injuring her right log and
kneecap, and was .given first aid
In the consulate.
"Worthy of attention is the out
rageous behavior of the Ameri
can intelligence service in connec
tion with Mrs. Kosenkina's- acci
dent," a second Tass dispatch said.
"When Mrs. Kosenkina was car
ried Into the consular building,
agents of the American Intelli
gence service under the guise of
police, broke into the consulate
In violation of its universally rec
ognized Inviolability.
"These agents searched. Mrs.
Kosenkina's room, grabbed her
handbag and contents, and rorclD
ly carried her off to a hospital.
"This lawless act of the Ameri
can police Is In clear violation of
the consular status recognized by
international law, contradicting
the statement of the state depart
ment of the United States con
cerning Is Intention to respect and
observe International law."

Reds Renew
Demands for
Rule in Berlin
Berlin, Aug. 14 (IP) The soviet
army renewed publicly today its
demand for the withdrawal of the
western powers from Berlin on
grounds that the Russians had
assured the city's food supply and
thus removed the last argument
for their staying.
The soviet military administra
tion reported that 10,800 tons ot
fats from Russia would be made
available to Berlin and the soviet
zone In August and September.
That was described as additional
to the 100,000 tons of wheat pre
viously promised for the feeding
of all Berlin including the west
ern sectors.
All soviet-licensed papers here
made much ot the Russian army
report, hailing It as knocking
the last props out from under the
western argument to a right to
participation in the administra
tion of Berlin.
Germans Protest
On the other hand, German
leaders, representing 500,000 Ber
llners, warned the western pow
ers against accepting any agree
ment which would establish the
soviet mark as the legal curren
cy for the entire city.
The city's three non-communist
parties and non-communist
trade unions urged that prompt
action be taken to make the west
ern deutsehe mark the only legal
currency for the western sectors.
Thy also called for measures to
link the economy of west Berlin
with that of the western occupa
tion zones of Germany.
The memorandum warned that
any attempt to make the soviet
mark the exclusive currency for
Berlin "will fail even If circulat
ed under control of all four oc
cupying powers."
"We must reject the possibil
ity that control of Berlin's cur
rency should be made a trading
points between the western pow
ers and Russia In the conversa
tions In Moscow,' the memoran
dum said.

Impressions
Central Oregon Visitors
Mrs. B. A. Wllkens, of Indian
apolis, Ind., was amazed that she
would have to cross the Cascades
to get to Albany where she and
her husband are going to visit
relatives.
"I've been through this country
many times on the train but I've
never driven through before," she
said. "I didn't know what range of
mountains that was to the west
hut" I didn't think we'd have to
cross them."
When the problem of the moun
tains was cleared up, Mrs. Wll
kens commented "It looks so dif
ferent, driving through here. You
get to see so much more than
when you ride on a train."
She thought coming Into Bend
off the high desert was "a very
delightful change." She was en
thusiastic about the people of the
west, too. "we ve found the peo-
i pie very congenial and so nice to
' meet,' sue remarked.
