King Abdullah Assassinated U. S. Sends Out Invitations To Japanese Peace Signing By James E.

Invitations went to all coun tries, except China, that fought Japan or played an important role in starting formation of United in ai ions. No Chinese delegates were in vited because the western allies could not decide whether to ask the nationalists or communists to attend. . The United States sent along with the invitation a new draft treaty containing a score of minor revisions. The changes, however, were mostly in wording and did not change the soft tone of the Proposed treaty. lapan Can Rearm The treaty gives Japan full au thority to rearm and expand its economy without limit. Japan un der the treaty also will waive any rights to Formosa, the Kurile is lands (now occupied by Russia) and the formerly mandated Is lands which have been taken over by the United States under a UN trusteeship.

Steele ' (UliltoJ, Prei Sl0 CofmpoluJcnt) Washington, July 20 UJ) Senators heard today that President Truman is pondering a crack-down on democrats he regards as party "irregulars.": All signs semed to be increasing that; Mr. Truman is de termined to do some whip cracking in hopes of obtaining more party regularity on Capitol hill.' : '. ' . : ,. Two democratic senators, , one. a conservative southerner City Planners Drop Proposal For By-Pass Members of the Bend planning commission bowed last night to the wishes of local businessmen by voting unanimously to drop all further discussion of alternate truck routes and traffic by-passes, : ' ,. j,: The action followed presenta tion of a jetltion by Kenneth G. Crulckshank, chairman of a spe cial committee of Bend ' mer-' chants, protesting the discussions. The petition, which carried 402 signatures, asked that the plan ning body "recommend to . the Bend city commission . that no action be taken on a discussed by-pass or truck route." Howev er, members of the commission,, after a consultation with city at torney Ross Farnham,-decided to drop the discussions among them-, selves but to make no recommen dation to the city, commission. .; According to 1 Farnham, the planning commission would have no reason to make a recommen dation to the city commission Un less requested to do so by that body. , Delegation Attends Last night's meeting at the city hall was highlighted by the pres ence of approximately 25 busi nessmen in support of the peti tion. .

Eleven were killed by lightning and. five by storm-caused accidents.' Only the calmness of an East ern Airlines pilot kept the death toll' from skyrocketing when his four-engine airliner with 53 per sons aboard was forced down in the storm. - John Armstrong, at the controls of a ewark to Miami Constella tion," belly-landed the airliner in a muddy field near Richmond, Va yesterday without injuring any one aboard. Armstrong said the engine did "flame a little when we landed1' causing passengers to believe it had been struck by lightning. The tail section was scorched by a grass fire set off by the friction from the plane's slide, but other wise the plane was undamaged. Drama unfolds A tense drama unfolded at mu nicipal hospital at Philadelphia when the storm stilled an iron lung that keeps polio patient Frank Rusnak, 24, of Waterford, N. J., alive. Rusnak, who cannot live more than two minutes out side his iron lung, was placed in another lung powered by a gas- generator in the hospital boiler room. But the fuel- pump failed in 30 minutes and he was trans ferred to an iron lung operated by a battery, until electric power was restored, .-.'.-. From Maine to Alabama, other persons told of death and narrow escapes from lightning. Ltgnoung H)t8 Tree Six persons who took shelter under a tree near Cedar Bluff. Ala., received only slight injuries from a lightning bolt.. But near by, sawmill workers Alfred Hale, 38, and Elmus Pierce, 18, were killed. Two caddies were struck while lugging golf clubs on the Brae Burn country, club course at New ton, Mass., and six other Dersons were hit In Maine, New Hamp- snire, Knode island and Vermont. All recovered. Hailstones as large as marbles pummeled metropolitan New York as the storm reached its peak yesterday during the noon and evening rush hours. Rain seeping Into a subwav station halted trains In Brooklyn jor more man an nour, and sev eral commuter trains Into the city were delayed. BULLETIN ana -the other a liberal mid' westerner, told a reporter that they understood the president soon may speak his mind pub licly .on that subject.'- ; Uppermost in Mr. Tru man's mind, it was said, was the realization that unlike 1948. democrats cannot wage next years election' campaign on . a "give congress hell" basis. Demo- crats control congress now in number anyway not the republi cans who held a senate and house majorities in 1948 when the presi dent scored his upset victory. j Must Sharpen Picture For this reason, one .senator said,- "Mr. Truman must sharpen the picture of just who his friends are and just who opposes him, re gardless of party label." The battle for continuation of economic controls and the. run ning fight over foreign policy were described as two of the mat ters -(Uppermost In Mr. Truman's mind so. far.' as party loyalty is concerned. ; Mr;' Truman's views on party regularity are notoriously strict while, it is said that he under stands and tolerates breaks from the '.party lines because of local political situations,' he has little sympathy for those differing on broad policy matters or those criticising any phase of his admin istration. , ' --; : Illustration Given Mr. Truman's fight . with Sen. Paul H. Douglas. D.. 111., over the Illinois judgeships Is a case in point. Douglas has asserted that Mr. Truman nas a deplorable tendency" to want nothing but "yes men" in the party. The presi dent cracked back at his news con ference yesterday that bar asso ciations do not make judicial ap pointments. This was in reference tp Douglas' invitation to Illinois attorneys to ballot between the president's appointees V and his own recommendations. V Aiiother'"vcase was Mr.. Tru man's recent decision to, appoint an acting collector oi internal revenue in Arkansas, apparently because, "acting" officials do not need senate confirmation and the president in this case could act witnour rear oi retaliation irom the Arkansas, senators. . - . Boyle Proved Wrong: : An Interesting factor In both the -Illinois and Arkansas cases are statements from all sides that democratic natidrtsl committee chairman William M. Boyle Jr. gave senators concerned to under stand that their choices for posts would be wiell received and ob served at -the White House. He was wrong on both counts. , Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D., Minn., seemed to sound the "get tough" technique in a radio debate recently. Humphrey ' said demo crats who cannot agree with their party's "basic philosophy" should get but of the party and team up with conservative republicans. One democratic southerner, who strongly opposed about every thing that Humphrey favors, told this reporter: "Well, if it means accepting a 'Humphrey - Truman program' maybe they won't have to invite us out, we'll step out." Deschutes Fire Crew Gets Call A 10-man crew from the Des chutes national forest was rush ed to Lake county last night to assist in battling a fire burning out of control In the Fremont na tional forest and on private lands about 18 miles northwest of Lake view. Glenn Rhoten reported at the forest service office in Bend at 1 p.m. today that he had just talked by telephone with Wilburt Bokker, administrative assistant for the Fremont forest. Bokker informed him that the blaze was still raging out of control and was clearly visible from Lake- view. The fire, which started about 12:30 p.m. yesterday, has cov ered 3,000 acres of Ponderosa pine timber. A strong northwest wind has made fire-fighting op erations extremely difficult. Members of the crew sent from here included: Harold Gustafson. Don Garvik, Lee Morton, Leonard Roberts, Linn McCall, Don Franks, Ray Ellstrom, Gene Hawthorne, Robert Greene and Arvo Koski. Two trucks loaded with fire-fighting equipment for 400 men were also sent from here. Rhoten also reported that W. E. Naylor of the local supervisor's omce left lor the lire tms afternoon.

Korea Given Other Allies Korea.. American occupation troops were withdrawn from South Korea on June 29, 1949 six months after Russia pulled' her forces out of North Korea. The Korean war began June 25, 1950. Allies Suspicious The allies are suspicious that the reds are hammering on with drawing troops (1) to start a new attack on South Korea if they could win their way, (2) to build up manpower and supplies for a new offensive during a fake lull in the fighting and (3) to use the Kaesong tulks for propaganda purposes. The American view is that al lied troops can be pulled back to Japan and other nearby bases only after a "secure political set tlement" Is reached in Korea. This would not be possible during ar mistice negotiations but would await certainty that the reds had learned their lesson on the Ko rean battlefields. This might take years. Meanwhile, at least one far eastern veteran expressed belief that the allies should get out of the truce talks and fight on to the Yalu river. Maj. Gen. Claire Chennault of Flying Tiger fame sa'd a cense-fire on the 38th par nllol would give red China 1,000, 000 tra'ned troops to start trouble In Formosa, Hong Kong, Macao, Indo-Chlna. Burma and Tibet. Chennault, here on a four-day business trip, said a truce in the center of Korea "would be about the worst thing that could happen."
