LEASED WIRE WORLD NEWS COVERAGE CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 47th Year TWO SECTIONS BEND, DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1950 No. 103 City Accepts Paylogh DogToeup Decision - THE BEND BULI MVW Dulles Takes Foreign Policy Advisory Post New York, April G ui,-John Foster Dulles accepted the post of foreign policy adviser to the secretary of state today with the statement that soviet Russia has posed a threat to the United States "as grave as any we have ever faced in a shooting war." Dulles said he accepted after talks during the last 48 hours with President Truman and Sec retary of state Dean Acheson. His job did not' carry a title, he added, and he had not Investi gated the question of salary. In a press conference at his home, Dulles made It plain he did not concur In the charges made by Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R Wis.) and others against Acheson in regard to alleged communist infiltration of the state depart ment. Dulles said the procedure of a senate sub-committee investigat ing McCarthy's charges "are in their totality helping" to create a "frustrating confusion." Statement Issued In a prepared statement he said: "The United States is engaged in a cold war. The leaders of soviet-communism are carrying out methodically, ruthlessly, and so far with much success, a long laid program for the encirclement and strangulation of the United States. The threat is as grave as any we have ever faced in a shoot ing war. It is a time when all who love freedom, here and elsewhere, must find unity behind policies which .-lse above the ever-mounting level of the despotic danger. "President Truman has recent ly confirmed to me that biparti sanship is the policy of the ad .ministration and that partisan consideration will not, under any circumstances, influence his "con duct of the foreign policy of the United States. Unity Goal "Secretary Acheson in his re cent California speeches discuss ed the nature of soviet-American tensions in terms that were pro found and enlightening and with which I am in full accord. It is time to rally from a frustrating confusion that has its roots in the mistakes of the past rather than the circumstances of the present.

Brooks, 74, Bend Lumberman, Dies Suddenly While on Way From Souih Harry Keyes Brooks, 74, official of Brooks-Scanlon, Inc., and a resident of Bend for the past 35 years, died yesterday evening in Sacramento, Calif., victim of a sudden heart at tack. Death occurred as Mr. Brooks was registering at a hotel. The Bend lumberman, first president of Brooks-Scanlon, Inc., following reorganization of the pioneer lumber firm at Minneapolis, Minn., in 1936, spent the winter at Palm Springs, Calif., and was returning to nis home in Bend, accompa nied by Louis H. Weber when he was suddenly stricken. He had not been ill, and he was believed in the best of health. Mr. Brooks and Weber left Palm Springs, where they had been since late December, yester day morning, and planned to re main overnight in Sacramento, before continuing on to Bend. Weber had left Mr. Brooks at the hotel, to register, while he placed the car in a garage. When he returned to the hotel, he found Mr. Brooks dead. Weber immedi ately telephoned the news to Mr. Brooks' son, Thomas F. Brooks, in bend. Funeral Plans Made Arrangements for funeral serv ices, which will be held in Wino na, Minn., were being made today. Interment will be in the family mausoleum at Winona, beside Mr. Brooks' parents. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Brooks left for Sacramento, Calif., this afternoon, and will ac company the body east. According to tentative plans, services in Winona will be held Monday, at 2 p.m. Plans are being made to hold services at the same hour at Trinity Episcopal church in Bend, of which Uev. Fred Wis senbach is rector. The family has asked that there be no local floral tributes, but that persons planning on sending flowers make contributions to the St. Charles memorial hospital fund instead. Mr. Brooks, it was pointed out, was keenly-interested in Hie hospital project. A rrange ments have been made- for Carl A. Johnson to accept the contribu tions in lieu of flowers, with the names of donors to be turned over to the family so cards of thanks can be sent out. "I am sure that aid to the new hospital, rather than floral trib utes, would be my father's wish," Tom Brooks said. His sister, Mrs. Howard Staples, of Seattle. Wash., joined in the request. Born In Minnesota Harry Keyes Brooks was born in Minneiska, Minn., on Sept. 4, 1876, and was the son of Dn and Mrs. D. F. Brooks.

Republican Party Faces Extinction Threat, Declared Dave Hoover, candidate for the republican nomination for U. S. senator from Oregon, warned the republican party last night that it faces possible extinction unless its members rally to the fight against the rising tide of social ism and the welfare state. Speaking at the courthouse in Bend, Hoover urged public sup port in his primary battle with Sen. Wayne Morse, and branded the junior senator as a traitor to his party. "This may be the last chance you'll have to vote in Oregon as a republican!" the dairy farmer from Lane county emphasized to party members attending the ad dress. He noted that Morse al ready has suggested a possible re (Continued on Page 7) (laugnver, vimriene, whii miuiii iany wan ii.-uu, luuna ui Kansas City Scene of Two Gang Killings By Sam Melnick (tlnitrd i'yttnh Stuff (JurreaiMinilfiit) Kansas City, Mo., April 6 till Charles B I n a g g 1 o, democratic north end boss who unseated the old Pendergast machine in the city's river wards, and his top lieutenant, hoodlum Charles (ior gotta, were shot to death early today In Binaggio's clubrooms on Truman road.

Police chief Henry W( John son ordered all detectives to work in bringing in the hoodlums. Johnson said, however, he believ ed the killers probably were im ported because "there is no one tough enough or brave enough here to pull this job." Position of the bodies indicated, though, that the shots came as a surprise to Gargotta, who had been seated at the reception desk in the clubroum from which he has directed democratic party workers for the last four years. Some officers felt Binaggio and Gargotta knew the killer, or killers. Nick Penna, Binaggio's body guard, was located late in the morning. He told police he last saw his boss at 8 p.m. yesterday in a tavern here. Gargotta was with him. That was about four hours before the men were slain. Each Shot 4 Times Each man had been shot four times.

Snow whitened lava rocks as the concrete pouring was started, following a night in which the temperature dipped to 27 degrees. However, this wintry weather caused no alarm. Water used in mixing the concrete was healed. Work of pouring concrete slatted at 8 a.m. Temperature at that time was 39 degrees. Four members of the Central Oregon Hospitals, foundation, Robert- W. Sawyer, Carl A. John son, Kenneth E, Sawyer and G. R. Moty, were present to watch the first concrete being pouted into forms for wall foot ings.

Lattimore Makes Strong Denial Washington, April 6 dl'iOwen Lattimore swore firmly under oath today that he is not and never has been a Russian spy or a communist, and that ben. Jos eph R. McCarthy is a "willing tool" of a Chinese nationalist "lobby." I have never consciously or p .ed, 'in promoting the cause of communism anywhere in the world." He called McCarthy's charges "base and contemptible lies." And, Lattimore said, he is thinking of bringing libel or slander action against the Wis consin senator whose charges thus far have been made on the senate floor. Only a few hours before the committee met McCarthy again repeated his charges against the professor that he is a soviet spy. Attack Kenewed McCarthy renewed the attack in a senate speech during the ex (Continued on Page 7) as sne was lined to tne image span, tie men crawieti tip u lace ot me ciin, nanti over nnnti. man ana aog were on Butler, Redmond is guiding Cline up tho wall.

Clipper Gas Delivery Ban Also Ordered The Bend city commission, In an action-filled session Wednes day evening, accepted the "straw vole" mandate on daylight sav ing and dogs; banned clipper de livery of gasoline within the city limits, and voted to increase wa ter rates, in certain categories, to raise an estimated $8,000 annual ly to bolster the depleted water department reserve fund. Daylight saving will go into effect April 30 at 2:01 a.m.. and will terminate September 24 at 1:59 a.m. This is the schedule set up by the city of Portland. Although the "straw vote" fa vored elimination of dog-tieups in Bend, this will not be- possible for at least two months, the commis sion decided. It will require this interval to introduce the neces sary ordinance, give it two read ings and get it Into effect. Mavor T. D. Sexton explained. Still Enforced A suggestion that city police might tacitly ignore the tieup pro vision of the ordinance, during this two-month period, was re jected by the commission. The ban on clipper truck deliv ery of gasoline in Bend was or dered after almost a year of de bale on the subject. The ordi nance npproved last night bore tlie emergency clause, and thus becomes effective immediately. The water rale increases affect summer irrigation charges for all householders; boost service con nection charges for new installa tions, and generally increase me ter rutes for service outside the city limits. The flat rate now in effect for household consumption remains unchanged. -- Dog Issue Debated ,' ''"'"'J; The daylight saving decision' was a mere formality, but the dog tieup repeal elicited considerable discussion, both pro and con, dur ing which Ross Farnham, city at torney, ruled that it is possible for the council either to amend or repeal the ordinance. As explain ed by Farnham, the dog tieup or dinance actually was enacted by the commission after a vote, but the people did not vote on the ordinance Itself, only the issue, Farnham pointed out.
