City to Decide
Daylight Time
At Meetina
Members ol the Bend city com
mission at a special meeting to
night will decide whether this
Deschutes city is to observe day
light saving or standard time in
the 1950 season. The meeting will
. start at 7:30 p.m., and will be in
the nature of a hearing on the
time change proposal. If daylight
saving is adopted, it will prob
ably be effective on April 30. '
It is expected that the Des
chutes county grangers will op
pose the move to adopt daylight
saving time. However, commis
sioners in "an ear to the ground"
survey have determined that in
Bend daylight saving appears, in
general favor. Last year, Bend op
posed the move In an advisory
vote, with only about one-fourth
of the registered voters visiting
the polls.
To Offer Petitions
Daylight saving petitions spot
ted around various parts of town
were being collected today, for
presentation to the council at to
night's meeting. These petitions
reveal that daylight saving is be
ing favored in Bend this year by
a ratio of about 20 to 1, it was
announced at noon. However, the
total will not be known until the
last petitions are turned in to the
chamber of commerce office. The
deadline has been set for 6 p.m.
Redmond is waiting action by
Bend before deciding whether to
adopt daylight saving time this
year. Redmond appears certain to
follow Bend's lead. Prineville has
already given its approval to fast
time for the 1950 season.
Throughout the Pacific north
west, tile swing this season has
been toward daylight saving time,
a recent, survey indicated. -. .
' Mayor T, D. Sexton said that so'
far as 'he knew, the daylight sav
ing question will be the only mat
ter that will come beforethe com
mission tonight for attention. The
next regular meeting will be on

Journey Alone
Sacramento, Calif., March 29
(IHi Thirteen-year-old Phillip Har
row, who made a 3000-mile cross
country jaunt to see his grand
parents here, was jested up to
day and "ready for baseball."
The youngster, who had been
missing from Knoxville. Tenn.,
since last Tuesday, turned up hero
yesterday afternoon at the home
of his grandparents, Mr. and Mr3.
Roy Bucll.
"I wanted to see Grandpa and
Grandma," said, 'he 13-year-old.
"After all I'm not getting any
younger."
The boy's father, O. G. Harrold,

matics professor, said earlier he
first thought the boy might have
gone to Florida to a major league
baseball camp to take a job as
bat boy.
His grandmother, flits. Buell,
said. "He certainly is in love with
baseball.
"The first thing he wanted to
do was go to a ball game," she
said. The Sacramento Solons of
the Pacific coast league opened
their season here yesterday.
Enjoyed Trip
Young Phillip said he had fun
on his long trip and saw "a lot
of scenerv." He said he took a
bus from Knoxville to New York,
another to Green River. Wyo.,
Salt Lake, Utah, and Reno, Nev.,
then changed to a train for Sac
ramento. Of all the experiences that
could happen to a youngster on
a cross-country solo jaunt. Phil
lip picked a conversation with a
Washington Senator ball player
as the most interesting.
"He was a catcher who had just
come from tryout camp In Flor
ida and landed a contract."
The baseball minded youth said
he would like to stay In California
for a while. He was born at Palo
Alto, Calif., he explained, and
spent more than half his life
here, while his father was teach
ing In western schools.
The aspiring pitcher said his
favorite ball player was Ted Wil
liams and that the "Red Sox will
win the American league pen
pant." RECORD COUGAR KILL

Circus Elephant
Killed by Poison
Despite Protests "
Sarasota, Fla., March 29 (111
Dolly, the circus elephant that
killed a small boy, died today in a
sunrise execution attended by
circus roustabouts, trainers and
performers.
The 27-year-old pachyderm was
burled immediately in a deep pit
only a few hundred yards from
the circus winter quarters where
for 20 years she had docilely lift
ed peanuts from the small hands
of children who regarded her with
awe and admiration.
But she turned killer suddenly
last Sunday.
While five-year-old Edgar Rog
ers Schooley, one of the thousands
of tourist children, who visited
her each winter, was reaching out
a small handful of peanuts, she
suddenly whipped her trunk
around his waist, pulled him close
and crushed out his life with a
huge foot.
Strychnine Used
Circus president John Ringling
North decreed the death penalty.
It was carried out as hundreds
of messages were pouring Into
the circus headquarters pleading
that Dolly's life be spared.
A trainer led Dolly down an in
cline into the pit. The circus vet
erinarian stepped up, shot a huge
dose of strychnine behind her ear.
She was dead in 15 seconds.
Roustabouts heaped dirt over
the huge form and the execution
and funeral were over.

Smiley was scheduled to report
today on what action the state of

Loyalty Files
Made Major
Political Issue
By John I. Steele
(United Prow Staff CorrHmtlnt).
Washington, March 29 (li'i Re
publicans demanded today that
the senate cite President Truman
for contempt if as expected-his
administration ignores a senate
subpoena for its loyalty files.
Led by senate GOP leader Ken
neth S. Wherry, they argued that
a supreme court decision on such
a contempt citation would determ
ine once and for all whether the
executive has the legal power to
defy the congress.
But there was little if any
chance that the senate would
heed their demands. It was point
ed out that a contempt citation
must be approved by the whole
senate and that the democratic
majority could block such a move
if it ever reached the floor.
A senate foreign relations sub
committee issued the subpoenas
yesterday after Mr. Truman flat
ly refused to permit its investi
gators to have access to govern
ment loyalty files.
Will Be Ignored
The orders were directed
against Secretary of slate Dean
Acheson, Attorney general J.
Howard McGrath and President
Harry B. Mitchell of the civil
service commission. It was consid

Joseph C. Duke, the senate ser-geant-al-arms,

that, on his orders, officials of

missioners would take no action
on the complaint.

U. S. Economy
Drive Taking
Chances, View
Washington, March 29 Hit
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said
today the nation is "taking
chances" by not spending enpugh
for the air force, anti-submarine .
warfare and Alaskan defenses,
"We do not believe war is Im
minent," the former allied su
preme commander told the senate
appropriations committee.
But he then urged that some
defense spending increases be un
dertaken in what he termed "vi
tal" defense fields.
Eisenhower told the members
that:
1. He has been informed that
projected spending for fiscal 1951
will not permit maintenance of a
"modernized" 48-group minimum
air force.
2. He "personally believes"
thai "we are taking chances" in
the anti-submarine field by fail
ing to provide adequate sums for
naval equipment and personnel
training. , .
Garrisons Favored
3. The U. S. would make a
"mistake in not providing a
small garrison on each of its ma
jor air fields In Alaska because of
the danger of "some kind of an
air attack."
4. That the United States has
"gone as far In favor of economy
in military spending as is wise"
and "in some specific ways too
far."
Eisenhower was called before
the committee after he made a
speech in New York last week In
which he said he was concerned
about the way the country has
disarmed. This dismayed and sur.
prised many congressmen inas
much as Eisenhower had helped
draft the administration's $13,
000,000,000 proposed military bud
get. . .,...-.
Open fo Public
The hearing originally was In
tended to be secret, but It was
thrown open to the public and
press.
Eisenhower emphasized that
greater attention should be paid
to military intelligence functions
and the field of Industrial mobiliz
ation. He did not urge increased
spending here, however.
Eisenhower prefaced his extern,
poraneous remarks by warning at
the same time that "excessive
expenditures" in the military field .
would undermine the nation's
economy and be "playing Into the
hands of the enemy."
Elsenhower recalled that 18
months ago while acting as tem
porary chairman of the joint
chiefs of staff he had urged an
outside limit of $15,000,000,000 in
cluding stockpile expenses for the
1051 budget. This outside amount,
he said, had been trimmed some
what by President Truman, but
at no great degree.
The general said he does not
recommend "great . . . major or
radical" changes In defense spend
ing But he said he has been advised
that the air force would not be
able to maintain 48 fully modern
ized air groups under the propos
ed budget.
And anything below 48 groups,
he said, would "dip under the
