LEASED WIRE WORLD NEWS COVERAGE CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 47th Year BEND, DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY. MARCH 31, 1950 No. 98 Two Suspecfes Held Kill o Vrf' '!()" emi aoeouveir dim ir-; ; THE Baruch Hits U. S. Policies In Cold War A Newport, R.I., March 31 IP Bernard M. Baruch said ' today that tlie United States was stag gering "from crisis to crisis with the initiative left to the enemy" nnd to win the cold war must have "a general staff for peace," headed by a man "of the stature of General George C. Marshall." "What is needed id a non-partisan group which will stay on the job until the cold war is won," Baruch said; "a group which would sit in continuous delibera tion on the whole of the peace, waging, serving as a central point of decision, weighing all the many commitments pressed upon us, guiding the best disposition of our strained resources, determining where in the world we are to fight a mere holding action and where we can achieve a decisive break-through and at what ef fort." The 79-year-old former presi dential advisor -spoke before the staff and students of the Naval War college here. Spread Too Thin Baruch said the United States was today spreading Itself "too thin, unable to achieve decision anywhere." . The "serious defeat" suffered by the United States in China, he said, "has stirred a good deal of public discussion of whether we are losing the cold war. Cer. tainly there is sufficient reason to fee that what has bpen done so far is inadequate." Baruch said the United States must "learn to pace ourselves in relation to the Russians and the threat of war." He said he believ-J ed that American . intelligence could unravel enough of the lius sian enigma to give us "an ade quate basis for judging Russia's intentions as to war or peace. "I do feel that we must vigi lantly watch the over-all degree ot soviet mobilization lor war ana that we dare not permit too great a variance with our own mobiliza. tlon. or we risk war. Baruch said, But, he added, he felt another war would not begin with an open attack on the United States. Civil War Possible "It seems to me quite likely that the test -may come in the more subtle torm oi civn war, nrobablv In Germany." he said. "As a matter of fact, it might be said that a state of civil war already exists, because that is what the cold war really is neither peace nor total war out a succession of civil contacts, more or less violent, wherever the Soviets can foment such strife." He urged "prompt enactment of a standby mobilization plan" providing for economic as well as military measures to meet war, to remove "our gravest source of peril" which he said is the time lag between the start of a war and complete mobilization. Baruch said a standby mobiliz ation plan should be "put into law now, to go into instant operation on joint proclamation by con 1 b gress and the president." He said it should include: "An impartial selective service iw, with a work-or-fight clause; A readied civilian defense: "The elimination of profiteer ing; , "The power to shut down less (Continued on Page 5) NOT A WAR-TIME MEASURE (Editorial) Monday's so-called advisory vote on the dog tie-up ques tion will be the second or third that has been taken in Bend. Previous votes have shown a strong majority in favor of the tie-up. If there is no repetition on Monday it will be, we think, because of the rush nature of the election and the lack of time within which to let the people discuss the subject. It ia linfnrtnnntp that the commission acted on a represen tntion that the tie-up ordinance was instituted to protect war time victory gardens for that is far from being the fact. The first ordinance on the subject was enacted by the city com mission on April 7, 1937. It had been promoted as necessary for the ni-ntuMinn nf Mirror Iiond water fowl. At the election on November 8, 1938 the ordinance came before the people for indorsement or rejection ana u was ap proved by a vote of 1731 to 1254. We have no doubt that many gardeners voted for it nt that time. There was, of course, no war-time victory garden issue involved. Bend's Mirror pond water fowl have been widely adver tised as a fine attraction. Tourist and city resident alike have enjoyed them. It is an accepted fact that dogs molest nest ing birds and destroy their eggs. The ordinance should be retained. Knur rr,.ri0 i,dvo Wn speak for gardeners, too. As the issue was presented to the commission Wednesday night there was an admission that dou-a are tcf .,', tn irnrHpna. A neace-time garden is no important to its owners than a war-time garden and we Ij "link that the gardeners will want to demonstrate that fact ncn they vote on Monday. Most Pacific Coast Cities Prepare for Daylight Saving Time April 30; Some Dissent (By Unilnl Prm) Nearly every major city on the Pacific coast will set clocks one hour ahead April 30 and join much of the rest of the na tion in four months observance of daylight saving time. All California will swing over to fast time a month from today. Oregon and Washington decide tor themselves whether they want daylight or stand ard time. In general, rural areas favor standard time because Deschutes Unit Plans Work Day At City Pound The Deschutes unit of the Ore gon Humane society at its meet ing last night outlined plans for work day to rush completion of kennels and pens at the city dog pound east of Pilot butte, and took time out to discuss the ad visory vote on the dog tleup ques tion Monday. The building housing the city pound has been moved to its new location by the city, and work to make it ready to hold Impounded dogs will be done immediately, Bernice Coad, president of the local unit of the Oregon Humane society, reported. As soon as pos sible, individual pens win De con structed. to make possible the seg regation of impounded dogs. The society also will furnish the dogs with food, and water Utensils and other necessary items win oe pro vided. Dale Not Set The society will hold its work day Just a$ soon as possible. How ever, the date cannot- yet De.ser, leaders of the group said. As a result of discussion of the tie-up advisory vote, M. L. Myrlck, sDokesman for the humane so ciety, today issued the following statement: "The Deschutes unit takes the position of advocating strict en forcement of the licensing and other phases of Bend's dog ordin ance, with the exception of the tie-up clause, believing that dis eased and unwanted dogs should be removed, unlicensed dogs not hp allowed to 'run wild', and own ers of licensed dogs should be held responsible for their action. "There are other means of en fnrrini? a doe's good behavior than keeping him tied. A little training and proper feeding and care by owners will keep most dogs out of miscniet. strict en forcement of the licensing re quirements on a year-around ba sis would soon eliminate unwant ed and uneared lor dogs. MOTHER KILLS SON Klamath Falls. March 31 (U Mrs. Lola Patrick, 26, today shot and killed her six-year-old son, L'.ndell. then wounded herself, sheriff Jack Franey reported. Franev said Mrs. Patrick, pstraneod from her husband, shot her son at their Beaver marsh home. 10 miles south of (ne- mult, about 8 a. m. today, then shot herself through the lctl breast. Mrs. Patrick was brought to the Klamath Valley hospital here where attendants said she was not expected to live. Franev said Mrs. Patrick re fused to give any reason for the shooting. hrouirht into the Question we communities, however, must it gives them more daylight in the morning and work can be completed that much earlier at night. City dwellers, however, fa vor an extra hour of sunlight in the evening when they come home from work, water lawns, and sit out on the front porch. Oregon communities going over to fast time next month include Portland, Eugene, Clackamas county, Oceanlake, Beaverton, Milwaukie, Medford, Roseburg, Klamath Falls, Lakeview, The Dalles, Corvallis, Seaside, St. Hel ens, and Gresham. Oregon City is expected to join the daylight pa rade. Some Opposition Strong opposition to DST has appeared in Delake, Coos Bay which turned it down March 13, Hood River, and Astoria. Astoria will decide at Monday's council meeting. Officials of Coos, Curry, and western Douglas counties will talk over the question at an April 5 meeting in Coos Bay. Bend city commissioners will make their decision next week after residents have had a chance to deposit their ballots in a city hall box. The "vote is not Dina- ing on the council. In the state of Washington Chehalis will not . observe fast time. Lewis county decided March 2 to keep the clocks on standard time come April du. Washington cities definitely planning to move ciocks aneaa during the April 30-September 24 period include Seattle, lacoma, Olympia, Vancouver, Longview, Kalama, Everett, uentrana, woou- land, Richland. The 1948 Oregon legislature passed a measure that would give all Oregonians daylight saving time if both California and Wash ington adopted it, and then only by proclamation or the governor, Daylight time proponents, how ever, labeled the measure as an anti-daylight saving time bill and obtained enough petition signa tures to force the legislature s Dili to referendum vote in November's general election.

From her office in Bend Mrs. Arnold is directing census operations in Deschutes, Crook, Klamath, Lake, Harney, and Malheur counties.

Wilson Brothers At Sacramento, As Result Of Meager Fingerprint Clues Sacramento, Calif., March 31 (U.E) A fingerprint found on a beer bottle was credited today with leading to the capture of two brothers-accused of kidnaping and murdering pretty Joann Dewey, 18-year-old hospital worker. The brothers were Turman Wilson, 24, who once served six years in Oregon state prison for rape, and his brother, Utah Eugene Wilson, 21. They were held for Vancouver, Wash., authorities. . Tne Wilsons surrendered peacefully last night to Sacra mento police and FBI agents who waited near their coupe which was parked on a down town street. Turman was arm with a .25 caliber automatic pistol, and a six-shot double action re volver was found on the front seat of their car. The government charged them with unlawfully fleeing from Washington state to avoid prose cution. In Vancouver, Wash., first degree murder and kidnaping charges have been filed against them. Arraignment Held The brothers were ordered held In lieu of $25,000 bond on the fed eral charge after temporary ar raignment before U. S. Commis sioner Adellla McCabe. However, they will be surrendered to Clark county, Wash., deputies to face tho murder charge, FBI agents said. "Anything that happens In Washington, they blame me,' Turman complained as he was fingerprinted after the arraign ment. He and Utah appeared in the commissioner's office dressed in brown coveralls supplied by the Sacramento police department. After tne .arraignment, the brothers were taken to (he county jail. The suspects refused to discuss Miss Dewey's slaying, said Police captain Larry Trimble, nor would they give a reasonable explana tion for being in Sacramento. Turman Wilson served six years for the rape of a 17-year-old girl. He was 16 at the time of his conviction and was released two years ago. Convicted with him were two brothers, Glenn and Rassie, who still are in prison. Their father, Mose R. Wilson, served seven years in Washington state prison for a sex crime against a 13-year-old In 1933. Miss Dewey, whose home was in Meadowglade, Wash.,' was snatched off a Vancouver street Sunday night, March 19, by two men driving a black sedan. Her nude and battered body was found a week later in the Wind river about 50 miles from Van couver. Gas Caused Death Police surmised she was strip ped to hide her identity and that she was dumped Into the river so that her body would decompose. An autopsy showed she died from breathing carbon monoxide, possibly while lying unconscious In the rear scat of an automobile. Near St. Joseph's hospital, where Miss Dewey worked, Van couver police found a beer bottle with a lone fingerprint on it. The Portland FBI identified Is as that of Utah Wilson. During their investigation, po lice found two abandoned auto mobiles, one at Camas, Wash and the other on a Portland street.
