Truman Appoints
Missouri lawyer
Demo Organizer
By Lyle C. Wilson
(yniU'd Pre Suite CorroHpurxlent)
Washington, Feb. 15 ui Presi
dent Truman has plaeeil the demo
cratic national organization in
charge of an alert, 4b'year-old
lawyer who was a Kansas City,
Mo., cop during the rule of Boss
Thomas J. Pendergast.
He is William M. Boyle, Jr.
Boyle was born in Leavenworth,
Kans. He wus educated here in
Washington and in Kansas City.
Since Mr. Truman was elected
vice president, Boyle has practis
ed law here.
Word Is Around
The word around town Is that
he will handle patronage for the
White House as well as be execu
tive vice chairman of the demo
cratic national committee. He was
named to that post last week. Sen.
J. Howard McGrath, Rhode Is
land, remains as chairman. But
Boyle will be the man on the full
time Job at committee headquar
ters, and apparently with full
powers.
Boyle has become a political
figure of national importance in
his new job. It is the biggest and
best political office he has had in
the past 20 years. The first was
clerk in the Kansas City police
department, then under control of
the Pendergast machine.
IVndcreast Dead
Pendergast is dead now of a
combination of disease and dis
honor which struck following his
1939 exposure and conviction on
charges of cheating the govern
ment of $265,405.15 in income
taxes. Nothing more than the in
come tax swindle ever was prov
en against Pendergast although
officials who investigated him
held the old man to be a rascal in
more ways than that.
Elmer T. Irey, former head of
the treasury department intelli
gence unit, says in his recollec
tions of the Pendergast investiga
tion that Boss Tom "brought to
the (Kansas City) organization a
genius for political larceny un
surpassed in our times."
Boyle's friends here describe
him as "a young lawyer who
knows the right people and can
get things done." They say, too,
that he has avoided taking legal
work since 1944 which would re
quire appeals to the White House.
Mr. Truman is represented as
having the utmost confidence in
Boyle as a man loyal both to the
president and to the democratic
party.
Senate Approves
Institution Bill
Salem, Feb. 15 Ul'iThe senate
Monday approved a bill thut
would remove from Oregon laws
a provision that gives state insti
tutions authority to invoke the
feudal custom of Indenturing chil
dren.
Although It has not been used
in recent times, existing laws per
mit state institutions to Inden
ture young wards.
Sen, Irving Rand. R.. Portland
who sponsored the bill, said "it's
certainly time we get out of our
laws this statute that permits en
slaving children.
The bill now goes to the house,
Indenture was customary in
Europe and early America two
centuries ago when parents would
turn their children over to a farm
er or craftsman for room and
board in payment for work and
apprenticeship.
Proposal Considered fo Lei
UN Seffle China Question
Professor Firing
Denied at OSC
Corvallls, Ore., Feb. 15 (in
Charges that two Oregon State
college professors have been dis
charged for political activities
were denied here Monday by
i-iesicieni a. l.. strand.
Anonymous letters to at least
Vwo Oregon newspapers charged
that Li. k. Lavallee, assistant pro
fessor of economics, and R. Ralph
Spitzer, assistant professor of
chemistry, were fired because of
alleged left-wing political activi
ties.
Strand said LaVallee and Spit-
zer had been notified that they
will not be rehired at the end of
this college year in what Is a
"recognized procedure throughout
the academic world."
Strand, In a public statement.
said the two professors were not
on permanent tenure and that the
college "does not desire to place
them on permanent tenure."
It is a recognized procedure
throughout the academic world to
have men on yearly tenure until
it is determined, whether the In
stitution desires to give them In
definite tenure on the permanent
staff. When a man is not to be
placed on permanent tenure it Is
considered fair practice to notify
mm well in advance of the end of
the year that his contract will not
be renewed, thus enabling him to
seek other employment," Strand
said.
GAME RULING PASSED
Salem, Feb. 15 U' The senate
Monday passed and sent to the
governor legislation permitting
the state game commission to
hold special meetings to change
big game laws after 48 hours no
tice published in Portland news
papers. The commission now is limited
to two meetings a year to regu
late big game hunting.

Quito, Ecuador, Feb. 15 IIP)
Death toll in the destruction of
the Radio Quito building by an
enraged mob has risen to 21, po
lice reported today.
The building, which also hous
ed two newspapers, was burned
down Saturday night by radio lis
teners, who became frightened
and infuriated over a broadcast
describing a mythical invasion. of
Ecuador by men from Mars.
Twenty bodies have been recov
ered from the ruins and one man
was known to have leaped to his
death from the blazing building.
Other reports said 15 leaders
of the mob have "been arrested.
Police also arrested Eduardo Al
caraz, director of the station. Al
carez fled Quito and was arrested
In the town of Ambato.
Leonardo Paez, program direc
tor for the station, also was being
sought by police but has not been
found.
Lake Success, N. Y., Feb. 15 'lb
Dr. Herbert Kvait, Australian
foreign minister and president of
the general assembly, is consider
ing proposing United Nations me
diation to seitle Hie Chinese con
flict, it was learned today.
Evatt, it was understood, has
made no final decision, and Aus
tralian delegation sources here
said they have received no in
structions from him to ask for
UN mediation.
However, Evatt telephoned UN
Secretary general Trygve Lie
from Australia early this month
to discuss the possibility of Unit
ed Nations mediation in the Chi
nese case.
Lie, who was involved with Ev
att in attempts to settle the Greek
civil war and the Berlin crisis, re-'
ceived Evatt's proposal noncom-
mitally, It was learned. But he in
dicated he had no objection to Ev
att asking UN mediation In his
capacity as Australian foreign
minister, tvatt will be president
of the UN general assembly when
It convenes again April 5.
Evatt told the Australian par
liament on Feb. 9, "In the case of
China, where a long and tragic
war has convulsed the nation and
delayed the rehabilitation and re
storation to which Its long-suffer
ing people are justly entitled, it
would, in my judgment, be strict
ly In accordance with United Na
tions principles to assist media
tion in an attempt to bring about
an agreed settlement which
would save countless lives."
Chinese premier Sun Fo told
reporters in Canton that UN me
diation along the lines Evatt had
suggested appeared the only prac
tical way left to settle the Chinese
problem. He said he would accept
a formal proposal for UN media
tion If Evatt should make it.
Evatt, if he asks for it at all, is
likely to ask UN mediation under
the terms of article 14 of the char-
ter, which provides that "... the
general assembly may recom
mend measures for the peaceful
adjustment of any siluation . . .
which it deems likely to Impair
the general welfare or. friendly
relations among nations . . ."
The Russians have no veto pow
er In the general assembly as they
do in the ll nation security coun
cil, where they blocked "neutral
power" attempts to settle the Ber
lin crisis last November.
The United States, it is under
stood, also is cool to Evatt s Idea
Top state department officers
prefer a strict "hands off" policy.
I is known that the U. S. state
department was highly critical of
Evatt's attempts to bring about
an east-west settlement on Germ
any last fall.

Groups Discuss
Bang's Disease
Madras, Feb. 15 Discussions
the past week both by members
of the Jefferson county dairying
committee and the livestock com
mittee tendered further to empha
size the need for rigid methods
for prevention of Bang's disease.
Settlers of the North unit of the
Deschutes project, where there is
a certainty that dairy production
will become established as a dom
inant industry, have already
launched plans to establish a con
trol district, including all of the
50,000 acres of irrigated land and
surrounding submarginal range
pasture areas.
The following members of the
county livestock committee, a unit
of a general Jefferson county
agricultural organization, were
present for the discussion of
problems pertaining to their in
dustry: Verne Campbell, chair
man; Hcrschel Read, C. M. Ken
nedy, Roy Luelllng, Marion
South, Marvin Darby, Richard
flagman, Burl Wyekoff, Ed
Greenwood. Willis Nartz and
James W. Moss.

was established at Cincinnati.

Market Steady,
Trading Light
l By T. W. Klenlen
(UrLtt'l Press f'inurii.-iul Wrlti-r)
New York, Feb. 15 Ui'i The
stock market steadied today in
the lightest volume of trading in
more than four months.
Dividend announcements in
cluded increases for shareholders
of Libby-Owens-Ford and East
man Kodak and declaration of a
25-cents-a-share extra by the
board of directors of Republic
Steel corporation but even the
stocks directly affected did little
on the news.
Some of the uncertainty may
have ben traced to unfavorable
earnings reports released by Na
tional Distillers and McCrory
Stores. The first had 1948 net
equal to $3.37 a share, against
$4.57 in 1947. Net for McCrory for
the last year of $4.63 a share com
pared with $5.34 in 1947.
Toward the close of the session,
however, some "blue chips" show
ed strength, of which one was
Chrysler. This stock moved up
more than a point. General Mo
tors, wnicn was ex-dlvidend $1.25
a share, rose half a point.
One of the widest gains was In
Wright Aeronautical, which sold
on an odd-lot transaction at 73. ud
3 points.
In some Wall street Quarters it
has been emphasized lately that
investors are showing a great
willingness to ignore the market.
Most professionals, as well as
the Investors, seem to be marking
time while congress gets to work
on proposed legislation and the
political kettle bolls in Europe.
As of the day's low volume, the
springlike New York weather
may have resulted in hooky play
ing since the temperatures were
in the high 60's.
