He did not mention Dewey by nnme, but charged him with being "too smugly complacent" In his unsuc cessful presidential campaign to defend the republican 80th con gress, He said President Truman of fered the voters an unsound, crackpot progrnm nnd that Dew ey had not offered the voters any well-defined alternative to It. In fancy language, liallanan Implied that Dewey hnd offered the voters n bogus choice. Many Did Not Vote "As between the real new denl and n synthetic substitute," he snld, "they chosp tho real article. Fifty per cent ol them were so plainly disgusted- that they did not vote at nil. the Oregon state highway de highway to hlk lake would be made possible through use of 150,000 left over from the al location for surfacing in the present season, plus the addi tion of a $35,000 sum. This would make $90,000 available for the work. May Kxpedilo Project Officials recognize the Import ance of getting the proposed Job under way at once, if some work Is to be done this fall. The exten sion proposal la to be placed be. fore R. H. Baldock, state highway engineer, who Is now attending a highway conference In ban An tonio, Tex., ond If the state co operation can be obtained bids for the project may be called at the November 7-8 meeting of the statl highway commission. The tentative program calls for four miles of grading beyond the present project, three additional miles of grubbing to clean up all slash on the seven miles previous ly cleared, and un additional five miles of clearing and grubbing to Elk lake. If the Cascade lakes highway, generally known locally as the north section of the Century drive, can lie cleared and graded over Its entire distance to Elk lake by the end of 1950, the next move will be to obtain surfacing of the forest road In 1951. At present, the Cascade lakes highway is graded nnd surfaced to tho forest boundary, some 12 miles west of Bend. This season an 8.2 mile contract was let for the aurfnclng of tho route, from the end of tho section graded and surfaced before the war1 to a point near Dutcnman liar. T)ie Rogers Construction1 Co.

We know thnt if hence forth the voters turn to the Tru-man-Pendergast party, it will be because they have decided to em brace socialism." And swinging for another divot from Dewey's hide, Hallnnan said thnt from here on out conscience and principle would guide the re publican party leadership bccnviEe It hnd turncy away Irom political expediency. "Henceforth," he ndded, "It will espouse nnd defend party princi ple"!." Hnllannn apparently wns speak ing for more than merely himself nnd to more than merely a West Virginia audience.

Scott Jr., of Ponnsylvanln, who hnd been put in tho Job by Dewey alter tho 1946 nntlonal convention. Bitter months of wrangling led to Scott's forced resignation nnd the election ol Gnbrlelson bv n one-vote mnrgln. The committee remains sharply divided.

Two Big Innings For New Yorkers; Brooklyn Unable to Hit in By Leo IL Petersen (United Press Sports Editor) New York, Oct. 8 The New York Yankees scored three runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings today and then hung on grimly behind the superlative relief pitching of Allie Reynolds to beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 6 to 4 and take a three to one game lead in the world series. Reynolds, who won the opening game of the series at Yan kee stadium Wednesday a 1 to 0 verdict over big Don New combe, today's loser returned in the sixth and set the Dod gers down by retiring the last 10 Dodgers to bat five of.r them on strike-outs, It was one ol the greatest te lle! chores ever produced in ser ies history even eclipsing the sterling performance ol Joe Page In yesterday s 4 to 3 Yankee vic tory and put the American league champions in a spot where they need but one more victory to win their 12th world series. Strong Favorites They get a crack at that to morrow in the filth game ol the world series here in the home ol the Dodgers and they became pro hibitive favorites through today's triumph to win out il not on Sunday, then on either Monday or Tuesday when, ii more games are necessary, they will be played at Yankee stadium. In contrast to the first three games, today's contest was more ol a battle between hitters than pitchers that is, until Reynolds came in. That turned out to be the end of the road for the bat tling Brooks. First Inning Yankees: Rizzuto, alter taking the first pitch for a ball, lined a single to center.

Snow was still falling as mili tiamen, rangers and deputies searched in canyons and isolated forests for victims caught in the out-of-season stomi with little food and inadequate clothing. An airplane carrying four per sons was missing in the storm area. The heavy fall was more than 16 inches deep in some localities and measured at least a foot in many upland sections of Montana, Wyoming, Utah, northern Colo rado and the eastern sections of Washington, Oregon and Ne vada. Weather expert W. M. Percy at Chicago said light snow might ex tend eastward into the Dakotas and Nebraska later today. He emphasized that the storm, while heavy, was "far below bliz zard proDortions" because it was not accompanied by a sharp dip in temperatures and high winds which would cause the snow to blow and drift. Many In Woods The storm struck just at the opening ol the area's deer and elk season and wardens said "the woods are chock full of people unaccounted for." ' Temperatures hung around the freezing point through the storm area. Forecasters said the mer cury would rise later in the day, causing the snow to stop. East ward, a vast area of rain extend ed almost to the Great lakes. The weather bureau said the cold and storm area was north and west ol a line Irom Duluth, Minn., to Las Vegas, Nev. East and south of there, the nation en joyed perfect Indian summer with temperatures almost uncom fortably warm. At Houston, Tex., a 20-hour rainstorm touched off by three tornadoes flooded three sections of the city and lorced scores ol tamilies to flee from their homes. One man drowned. Today's snowstorms caught hunters and tourists in all of the states alfected but otflclals said the worst situation apparently was in southern Idaho's Magic valley area where it was estimat ed that 100 hunters, Including women and children, were trap ped. Deputy sheriff Ernie Lee of Twin Falls said roads into the section were "impassably without special equipment." The snow was 14 inches deep in the val ley and still falling.

Twenty state police slogged through wet underbrush in an un successful attempt to corner the fugitives. Later officers said they found foot tracks leading back to the highway. ' "There is evidence that the two men and the woman doubled back on us, stole another car, and head ed toward Portland," state police said. , State police said packages con taining stamps, found In the car, had a Benton City identification..

Abandoned Safe Found The cracked sale was found abandoned later four miles west of Benton City. Officers said they had no clue to the identitfy of the trio. But they had spotted the car as one stolen from Vancouver, Wash., last night. As police approached the car, it sped off toward the Willamette valley. A patrol car was losing the race when the fugitive auto mobile suddenly veered and turn ed over on Oatfield road, south of Milwaukie. The men and a woman fled from the car among trees and heavy undergrowth. "It was a brand new car and very high powered," an officer said. "It's a total wreck." Sheriff Huston said the loot from the post office Included $70,000 worth of stamps and money order blanks, and $3,700 worth ol postal bonds. The money order blanks carried only potential value because they would be worthless unless forged without detection. Currency Recovered Inside the wrecked car, which rolled over several times up to the garage of H. W. Cramer, state oolice found pads of money order blanks, $1,300 In currency Includ ing seven $100 bills. $50 in silver and $4,175 in government savings bonds. In addition they lound a shot gun, an automatic pistol, a knife, burglary tools, a typewriter, blan kets and clothes and rubber stamps including one marked "Warden, U. S. Penitentiary, Mc Neil Island." - State police iollowlng the trail of the fugitives said they saw the marks of a women's shoes. They surmised the woman was wearing slacks since first reports Irom eye-witnesses said three men were involved. State police headquarters in Portland requested residents to watch for "two men and a wom an who probably would have mud on their clotheR." During the search through the forest, state police found the lens of a man's glasses, a driver's license from Moscow, Ida., and the owner's card for a 1948 Plymouth. At least one of the fugitives was believed injured. There were bloodstains in the wrecked car.
