The senate planned to adjourn after a brief session today out of respect to Sen. Herl II. Miller. IX, Ida., who died here Saturday. The adjournment schedule Is tight. Time lost today may be more than the hard-pressed sen ate can make up before the week end. The senate had scheduled for today a vole on the farm bill which last week split the admin istration congressional leadership. Majority leader Scott W. Lucas of Illinois had cause to wonder out loud whellier President Truman and Vice-president Allien W. Bark ley hnil run out on the democratic plal form's farm plank.

They returned to their homes, but dime back. They found here the resources lor n self-sufficient economy, opportu nities which could not be had elsewhere. Much Work to Be Done As to Hie work to lie done, the speaker mentioned hundreds of thousands of acres of logged land to replnnt, more hundreds of thousands of acres of soil to reclaim or to rebuild, hundreds of miles of new highways to en gineer, dams "which it will take the rest of the century to con struct."

Hospitalized Teachers From Gather Here for 12th Annual Central Oregon Institute School pupils in Deschutes, Harney, Jefferson and Crook counties began a two-day holiday today, while teachers of the four counties gathered for opening sessions of the 12th annual central Oregon teachers' institute in Bend. More than 300 educators this morning in the school gymna sium heard Arthur R. Kirkham, of radio station KOIN, Port land, who gave a talk on the "Oregon Wonderland." There are more outstanding scenic wonders in the state than in any other area of similar size n the world, he declared. He quoted Mitchell Leisen, direc tor of technicolor film, "Gold en Earrings," made several years ago in Oregon, who said that there Is no other place In the world where such extremes of ter rain and climate are within such easy reach. Some scenes for the picture were filmed on the Metol Iub river and in Bend. Tribute Paid Thompson In his speech, Kirkham paid tribute to the late J. Alton Thomp son, Deschutes county school su perintendent for over 30 years, who, in a letter to Kirkham In 1945, advocated that teachers stress In their classrooms, the op portunities lor sight-seeing that are offered right In Oregon. Mr. Thompson pointed out that in his opinion, there would be no better way of advertising the Oregon country than by encouraging stu dents to appreciate its beauty. According to the recent busi ness census on which statistics are now being computed, Ore gon's population is 50.4 per cent greater than It was in 1940, he said, and Oregon is the fastest growing state in the nation. He suggested that future growth would place a strain on teaching facilities, U provisions were not made now for adequate buildings and training for larger teaching staffs. A few of the places of interest which Kirkham mentioned In his talk were the following: Points of Interest Cited "The Oregon- shore line, with unique geological features and scenery 'hat surpasses the "rock bound coast of Maine." The Ore gon myrtles, between Coquille and Myrtle Point, where the state board of forestry has bought 160 acres to preserve as a memorial to world war dead. The gorge ol the North Umpqua, said by Zane Grey, western author, to be the most gorgeous body of white wa ter anywhere in the world. The Wallowa mountains and Wallowa like, which offer the same type of scenery as the Grand Teton na tional park. The Willamette river, only major navigable stream in the united states that llows its entire distance from south to north. The Lava-Cast forest 30 miles southeast of Bend.

Austria, Oct. 10 IP Austrian voters have given an overwhelming vote of confidence to the mlddle-ot-the-road coalition government of Chancellor Leo pold Figl, returns from Sunday's parliamentary elections showed today. Figl's rightist peoples party and the socialist party of President Karl Renner, the coalition that has ruled Austria for the past four years, were given a domina ting total of 144 seats in the 165- man lower chamber. Party leaders announced the coalition would continue. Voters, including 3.084,518 who cast ballots in soviet occupied areas, granted the communist party less than five per cent of the total vote of 4,189,272. A new party running for the first time, the Pan-Germanic asso ciation of independents, surprised observers by taking 16 seats. The independents have been called pro-nazl by their opponents. There also were scattered votes for such splinter parties as the ergocrats. who want a world-wide gold standard, and the democratic front, which demands union with Yugoslavia's Slovene territory. The communists, who won only four seats in the 1945 election, gained one seat in Sunday's bal loting. The socialists lost nine seats from their 1945 showing and the peoples party lost eight.

Gunn, Oregon direc tor of elementary teacher train ing and president of Oregon College of Education, will ad dress the high school general assembly of the Central Oregon Teachers' institute Tuesday at 1:15 p.m., in the high school gymnasium.

(Continued on Page 5) LmJ Here Both Victims Of Accidents Struck in Leg Two hunters, each with a shat- , tered leg, are in St. Charles hos pital in Bend, victims of gun acci dents in the Deschutes national forest Sunday. They are Douglas Ayres, 26, Prlneville, and Donald Burtls, 22, Portland. The two men are the first in jured by bullets In the Deschutes woods since the opening of the deer season, despite the fact that . thousands have been in the buck country. In one other accident re ported in this region earlier in the season, a hunter was injured by an explosing gun barrel. Injuries suffered by both Ayres and Burtis were reported serious. Burtls suffered a heavy loss of blood and was In a serious condi tion when be reached the Bend hospital. He was given several transfusions, and It "-'as reported at noon today that he had appar ently passed the dinger point. Bone Shattered Burtis was reportedly Injured early Sunday morning when he got In Hie line of fire of another hunter, in the Pine mountain country. The bullet entered the right leg below the knee, shatter ing the bone. Officer R. J. Haf stad of the state poilce was inves tigating details of the accident to day and the identity of the person who fired the shot wos not known at the state police headquarters here. Ayres was the victim of a gun accidentally discharged in a camp in the Sand flats area. The rifle was discharged, officers learned, when it fell. The bullet hit Ayres below the right knee. Fellow hunt ers applied a tourniquet, then brought the injured man to the Bend hospital. Ayres' condition this afternoon was reported excellent. Injuries Similar Physicians said that the inju ries suffered by the two men were very similar, with the right leg of each involved. Ayres is employed by the Ocho co Lumber Co. Burtis was a mem ber of a party of Portland hunt ers. State police checked hunters on two roads, one a major highway, through a considerable part of Sunday, but failed to discover a single major game violation, it was reported today. The checks were made on the Ochoco high way in the Prineville area and on a road emerging from the newly opened Deschutes game refuge, in the Lapine country. Only six citations, for minor offenses, were issued. These ar rests are now being checked, be fore the accused hunters appear in court. The charges range from void foreign licenses to improper tagging oi venison, one out of state hunter probably will be charged with making a false ap plication for a license. Forest Lookouts Leave Stations All lookouts were down from their high stations today and for est guards were generally en gaged In fall maintenance work, following copious rains over the week end that dampened even the previously arid rort Kock woods, Deschutes national forest officials report The rain melted most of the snow that fell In the high lands the latter part of the past week. Only a trace of moisture fell in Bend in the week-end storm and the unprecented local aridity, now in Its 10th month with less than four inches of moisture measured, continued. Fire Hazard Decreased The week-end storm has de creased the fire hnzard to a mini mum in the Deschucs woods, for esters said. They added that the condition is fortunate, for many hunters, apparently chilled In their quest for venison in the Oc tober storm, started fires In logs. Some of these fires are still smouldering and may cause trou ble If warm, dry weather returns, forest officials said. Many aban doned but still smouldering camp fires also were found. Forest field men report that there were many "poor house keepers" among the thousands of hunters who used the Deschutes woods. In the woods are numer ous abandoned campsites littered with debris.
