Jack Tatum
Still at Large
Phoenix. Ariz., Oct. 21 lli - Hun
dreds of KMI nK'ents. deputies and
police searched today for notori
ous badman Jack Tatum in one of
the biggest manhunts since the
davs of John milliliter and "1'ret
ly Hoy" l-'loyd.
Aulhotilles used planes, horses,
nml speedy motorcars In an at
tempt to track down the thick
lipped, tattooed gunman who es
caped from the Maricopa county
jail after a Klin battle In which
two prisoners were slain by a crip
pled watchman and two others
taken Into custody la-fore they
could flee.
Koadhlocks were thrown up at
California and Nevada Imrders
and all cars were stopped and
searched.
Police feared, however, thai
Tatum, whose exploits ns a band
It, burRhir and Jail breaker are
almost leKendary, had once more
eluded pursuers and made his
way Into one of the bordering
states.
Oulsldo Aid indicated
There was evidence Ihot he hud
been aided by someone outside the
jail.
Tatum Is a member of a three
man family Ranu that has terror
ized the aouthwest repeatedly in
the past with forays of gunman
ship and banditry.
Despite the belief thai lie may
have escaped over state lines, a
blR search for him was launched
In the nearby Salt river valley
which has been a refuge for out
laws since the two-gun days of the
old wild west.
SharpshoollnR FBI men, called
Into the ease because Tatum Is
wanted for transporting stolen
cars across slate lines, were pre
pared to shoot It out with Tatum
us they did with Dhmlngcr.
They doubted that he would
give up without a fight and be
lieved they probably would have
' to kill him.
The search was tho most wide
spread since officers tracked
down Billy Ray Gilbert, another
southwestern gunman, at a sub
urban auto court here last Keb.
27 and shot him down In n hall of
bullets.
Tatum and four other prisoners
made their bid for freedom before
dawn Saturday, slugging n guard
and stealing his gun,
Before they could leave the
courthouse, crippled watchman
Tom Slowe, -10 who had never
fired n gun before- killed Charles
McKwan, 22, and Edward Corcor
an, 38, Other officers captured
prisoners John Bridges and Dlnzel
McDonulu.

AFL Council
Delays Decision
On CVA Proposal
Final action on whether or not
to back the proposed CVA bill
was postponed yesterday by dele-1
gates of the ArL Central urcgon
district council, LSW, meeting In
Bend, until the next council meet
ing in February, 1950, Clarence
E. Briggs, council secretary, an
nounced today.
Union delegates agreed that a
plan for the full development of
the Columbia river is a desirable
thing, but they felt that the ad
ministrative features of the bill,
as it now stands, need amend
ment. One of the major objections was
to the section of the bill which
provides that full control of the
proposed authority no vested in
the hands of a three-man board.
IMogates believed that under
the present plan there would be
tto checks or safeguards to pre
vent the three-man board from
using its control as a "political
football." It was brought out
that while congress had the pow
er to appoint men to the board,
it would have no authority over
them after they took office.
In a discussion of a plan to pro
mote the establishment in cen
tral Oregon of remanufacturing
plants In (he lumber industry, it
was the concensus that there is
not adequate power in the area to
support such a program on a
hu ge scale at present.
It was decided, however, that
council officers should work with
local lumber manufacturers in n
program for belter utilization of
saw log by-products.
Retirement, health and welfare
were other matters taken up at
the council meeting and delegates
were of the opinion that expan
sion of present social security cov
erages Is desirable.
Among resolutions adopted at
the council session was one which
favored the erection of low cost
homes in central Oregon under
the federal housing act.
Members of the council were
urged to attend the forthcoming
AFL, political league convention
which will be held in Bend No
vember 11. At that time union
members of Oregon locals cast of
the Cascades will meet to outline
plans for tho 1950 political cam
paign. The council which held sessions
In Bend both Saturday and Sun
day will meet again next Febru
ary 4 and 5 cither in Madras or
Piinevllle.

Remain, Despite Settlement
Evidence Found
Of Early-Day
Redwood Trees
Barren hills of the Hay creek
area of Jefferson county, east of
Madras, yesterday yielded for
members of the Deschutes Geol
ogy club further evidence that
giant redwoods once grew in cen
tral Oregon. In a wash near Hay
creek Mrs. John H. Eaton, whose
husband is president of the local
mineral club, discovered impres
sions of metasequoia leaves.
These are the 'dawn age" red
woods that still grow in the in
terior of China.
Howard Jenne led the expedi
tion into Jefferson county and
members of the party collected
some fine agate material, the lead
ers reported. On the return trip j
John Carter located a patritied
wood area. The trip into the land
of the old sequoias was made over
the Ashwood road.
Club members joining in the
Sunday outing were reminded
that the group's final picnic of the
year will be held Wednesday eve
ning. In the Fremont meadow of
Shevlin park. This will bo a bon
fire affair. There will be two de
parture times, 5:15 and 6 p.m.,

United Nations
Day Observed
By Bend Groups
"United Nations day" was noted
todny in Bend, with schools, or
ganizations and radio station
KBND participating In tho observ
ance. Mrs. George Simerville,
vice-president of the Oregon coun
cil for UNESCO, assisted with ar
rangements for local participa
tion In the world-wide program,
which marks the fourth anniver
sary of the founding of UN, and
calls attention to the dedication
of the new United Nations home
in New York City.
In all grade schools and in the
social science classrooms in junior-senior
high, posters depicting
work of the United Nations were
on display. In the grade schools,
five film sstrips on United Nations,
with accompanying script, were
shown, and reading included se
lected stories "about youngsters
from all countries.
At 2 o'clock, radio station
KBND carried a program featur
ing President Truman's United
Nations day speech, and address
es by other national figures.
Portland, Oct. 24 'U Matt Mee-
han. representative of the Inter
national Longshoremen & Ware
house's union, todaly said the
back-to-work agreement in Hono
lulu for CIO longshoremen did
not affect picketing by local No. 8
at The Dalles. Ore.
"We will continue to picket un
til The Dalles port commission
agrees to hire through the union,"
Meehan said.
"I've been subpenaed to appear
at a court hearing Tuesday and I
do not expect developments in
The Dalles situation before then,"
he said.
Attorneys for the port commis
sion and Hawaiian Pineapple Co.
have asked a circuit court injunc
tion against ILWU picketing.
Asked if longshoremen would
handle pineapple aboard the barge
"Honolulu", moored at The Dalles,
Meehan said, "I prefer not to an
swer that question until they
agree to hire through us."
"Hot" Label Removed
The Honolulu tied up at The
Dalles Sept. 25 and the unloading
of its $800,000 cargo of pineapple
tidbits was halted when CIO pick
ets broke through police lines, in
jured six men and damaged a
crane and two trucks.
Last week, in briefs filed with
the national labor relations board
the ILWU stated the non-union
loaded barge, owned by the Ha
waiian Pineapple Co., was no
longer "hot" and that the ILWU
had no dispute with its owners.

United Nations Anniversary
Made Occasion for Another
Gesture Toward World Peace
By Mkrriman Smith
(United Press White House Reporter)
New York, Oct. 24 U.R) President Truman directed a new
message of peace to "men of (food will" throughout the world
today and called on them to agree on an effective plan to out
law atomic warfare.
The occasion was the fourth anniversary of the United Na

the Ponderosa club, "909 Bond
street, last night, broke open the;
safe and stole the club's week-end
proceeds. Total loss will not be
known until the owner, John
Gogenola, returns from a hunting
trip to eastern Oregon.
The prowler apparently took
the mask into the building for use
in case the cafe was equipped
with gas. The mask was found
this morning when the burglary,
which presumably occurred be
tween last midnight and daylight,
was discovered.
Entrance was gained through a

Back of the counter the burglar
"peeled' the back of the safe, to
gain entry. The work indicated
that the burglar was no novice at
the task of "cracking" safes.
Sheriff Claude L. MeCauley and

Dorena Dam Now
In Operation
Cottage Grove. Ore.. Oct. 24 ilPi
The corps of engineers' $14,000,
000 Dorena dam on the Row river
was in operation today, nine
months ahead of schedule.
Gov. Douglas McKay threw the
master switch formally putting
the dam to work at dedication
ceremonies yesterday.
The 2,305-foot long structure
of concrete and compacted clay
was designed to eliminate Wil
lamette valley flood threats as
far north as Goshen and reduce
the crest at Eugene 1.1 feet.
A crowd of more than 500 at
tended the dedication ceremonies
at the dam, six miles east of
here.
Rep. Harris Ellsworth, R., Ore ,
said, "We shall never rest until
all the units in the (Willamette
valley) project are completed."
Col. O. E. Walsh, north Pacific
engineer, said "planning money"
might be available early in 1950
for preliminary work on other
flood control units on the Mc
Kenzie and south Santiam rivers.
Two others have been under
construction. Detroit dam on the
north Santiam river and Meridi
an dam near Lowell.
Largest of Three
Dorena was the third and
largest of three dams constructed
in the mid-Willamette valley area.
Fern ridge on the Long Tom near
Eugene and Cottage Grove on the
coast of the Willamette near
here were finished earlier.
Gov. McKay, who served a dec
ade as chairman of the Willam
ette river basin commission traced
the history of the Willamette val
ey project from the appointment
of a flood study committee by the
late Gov. Charles Martin to the
completion of Dorena dam.
Marshall Dono, editor of the ed
itorial page of the Oregon Jour
nal, was master of ceremonies.
He called the new dam "a dam
solidified in concrete" and said
the three completed dams would
reduce the Willamette valley flood
hazard by 20 per cent.
Col. Walsh and Guy F. Atkin
son, president of the Dorena con
struction Co., a composite firm
that built the dam, told how the
work was speeded up to finish
nearly a year ahead of schedule.
The dam's scheduled comple
tion date had been July, 1950.
Nearly 16,000 persons gath
ered in the shadow of the 39
story UN secretariat building
for the cornerstone ceremony.
The president had driven to
the site in a motorcade through
16 blocks lined with 750,000 cheer
ing New Yorkers.
The chief executive shielded
from a brisk river breeze by a
huge blue backdrop bearing the
tirai, idncu iiu iiuiucrs in nm
carefully considered speech. It
? an.yg bUt a "ghtlng 0r
tough speech.
Meaning Clear
But the assembled UN dele
gates, including Russia's Andrei
Y. Vishinsky, needed no score
cards to tell what the president
was talking about.- ,
Respect for human rights, pro-
' motion of economic development
i and a system for control of
weapons are requisites to the kind
of world we, seek," he said. "We
cannot solve these problems over
night, but we must keep everlast
ingly working at them in order to
reach our goal."
The chief executive, standing
I oniy a few jeet from Gov. Thomas
uewey, the man he defeated
1 last fall for the presidency, re-
j asserted the willingness of this
country to have the UN control
: the atomic bomb under a plan
blocked bv the general assembly
i,.f VPar This is the nlan Russia
reected.
This plan, according to the
president, will be supported by
this nation until someone comes
up with something better.
Mr. Truman's brief remarks
about atomic energy were the
first public statement by the
president on the subject since
his announcement that the Rus
sians had solved nuclear fission.

Strike Situation
More Hopeful
(By United Prex)
The nation's critical labor situa
tion took a defiite turn for the
better today as Missouri Pacific
railroadmen and Hawaiian long
shoremen ended their strikes and
President Truman prepared to in
tervene in the coal and steel walk
outs. The Missouri Pacific railroad
expected to have some passenger
trains operating over its 11-state
system by tomorrow as 5,000 con
ductors, engineers, trainmen and
firemen ended the strike they be
gan 45 days ago to force settle
ment of 282 long-standing griev
ances. Most of the grievances, involv
ing about $3,000,000 in claims,
were settled during negotiations
of the last two weeks but a few
remaining issues will be submit
ted for arbitration under the rail
way labor act. The strike cost the
road $36,000,000 in' revenues and
the workers about $1,400,000 in
lost wages.
Many Idled
The strike had idled 20,000 other
Mo-Pac employes ai:d several
thousands In, communities whlcn
relied on the railroad for train
service.
Federal labor experts predicted,
meanwhile, that President Tru
man will take personal action to
end the steel and coal disputes If
they are not settled by Thursday.
White House informants said
Mr. Truman might use a Taft
Hartley injunction to send John L.
Lewis' United Mine Workers back
into the pits before cold weather
creates serious hardships.
In the steel dispute, they said,
he probably would call Industry
officials to Washington and urge
them to accept the fact-finding
board's report which recommend
ed that the CIO steclworkers give
up demands for a wage boost
while the firms paid for a 10-cent
hourly package pension and wel
fare program.
Unless the big disputes are set
tled this week, 2,000,000 workers
will be idled, tlie government said.
