WORLD-WIDE NEWS SERVICE CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 49th Year TWO SECTIONS BEND, DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON, MONDAY. APRIL 21, 1952 No. 116 nee DClTDQ P riir e im Eotosnig M Ociini New Rains Add To Missouri's Flood Danger ST. JOSEPH, Mo., April 21 IP -The surging Missouri River raShered in fresh rains Monday in a flood that already spread from bluff to bluff in many places, and new areas were threatened with inundation.. , The U. S. Corps of Engineers expressed concern for agricul tural levees, below St. Joseph as the flood level .rose above pre dicted crests. "If it rains any more, we're in for it," said Col. L. J. Lincoln, Kansas City district engineer, as more men and trucks were di rected to new key danger points. The dramatic fight was at Sher man Air Force Base on the Fort Leavenworth reservation, where some 1,600 airmen and soldiers labored to protect the multi-million-dollar installation. The river stood nine feet above the level of the air base. Youngsters Aid Fight At the same time the Mississip pi River brought men and boys, some of the latter 10 years old, to fight floodwaters at La Crosse, Wis. Officers at Sherman Field were optimistic despite the odds. "We're ahead of the river and we expect to stay that way," they said. St. Joseph's 78.5R8 persons live, mostly, high on the bluffs. The damage expected here largely has been done to low-lying South St. Joseph and the bottoms across the river on the Kansas side. But downstream at Atchison and Fort Leavenworth on the : Kansas side of the great river, J the skies frowned and threatened ! .n pour more water into the great est expanse of flood ever to drive families to the hills in Nortnwest I Missouri and Northeast Kansas. The level of the river at Leav I enworth was 26.1, one-tenth of a foot above the predicted crest. I It continued to rise. I Weather Bureau experts at I Kansas City said a half inch of 5 rain would raise predicted crests I substantially, and more rain was in the forecast. i The river rose four-tenths of a k foot at St. Joseph during the rooming to 25.9, still 1.1 under 3 tue predicted 27-foot crest. McGrath Story 3 Seen in Conflict i WASHINGTON, April 21 (IBRep. 'i Kenneth B. Keating demanded Mon J day that House investigators get ;, to the bottom of the "peculiar maneuvers" which led to Newbold 'i Morris' short-lived appointment as i the administration's corruption- hunter. M The New York Republican said W former Attorney General J. Howard !1 .McGrath should be recalled "at : once" by the House Judiciary sub 'A committee investigating the Justice 1 Department. He said McGrath fcahould be asked to "clear up" his AXestimony that he knew nothing yaboij? Morris' connection with prof j liable surplus tanker deals when he appointed the New Yorker as ,.his special assistant to ferret out 'wrongdoers in government. l$t Keating's demand was marked : ; hy Secretary of Commerce Charles ;V Sawyer's casual disclosure over a ' television program Sunday that he asked McGrath last June to in : vestigate surplus tanker transac tions handled by Morris' law firm I to see if any laws were violated. Morris was named clean-up chief ' on Feb. 1. McGrath told the sub ' committee on March 31 that he knew nothing about Morris' con nection with tanker deals until it was brought out by a Senate in i vestigation which followed Morris' appointment.

GOP Eyes Turned to Voting In Pennsylvania, New York By LYLE C. WILSON WASHINGTON, April 21 HB Pennsylvania and New York will elect 156 Republican National Convention dele gates Tuesday and in a later convention New York state will choose 10 delegates-at-large.' How these 166 votes are cast at the July convention very likely will determine the party's 1952 nominee. Neither slate of delegates may be pledged under the election laws prevail Reapportionment Plans Discussed At Local Hearing Members of the legislative rep resentation reapportionment' in terim committee authorized by the 1951 session of the Oregon legislature held the last of their scheduled hearings Saturday night, sounding the opinion of Central Oregonians at a public meeting held in the City Hall in Redmond. Speakers in the main expressed preference for a system which would seek the allocation of one senator tor representative) to each county, with population to govern in the apportionment of the remainder. Measure reported ' Possibility of the appearance on the November ballot of an in itiated bill which, without change in the Oregon constitution, will provide for a new distribution of legislators, was mentioned by Senator Philip S. Hitchcock, chair man of the interim committee. Appointment under this measure would recognize the smaller coun ties or districts by allowing rep resentation of the "major frac tion" of the population -units of 25,000 for Representatives and 50, 000 for- senators. The committee will wait until this is decided be fore making recommendations or holding further meetings. . Members in attendance.at Sat urday night's session, in addition to Hitchcock, were: Marshall Swearingen, president of the Ore gon Farm Bureau Federation; El mer McClure, master of the Ore gon State Grange; N. B. Giustina, Eugene; H. S. Mersereau, Prine ville; Mrs. Will Davis and George Brown, Portland, and Gene Conk lin, Pendleton. Ralph W. Staley, Portland, was with the commit tee as secretary. Four of the leg islative members Senator Rich ard L. Neuberger and Represent atives David C. Baum, H. H. Chind gren and Ivan C. Laird were ab sent. So were industrial members Ward B. Spatz of Medford and Thomas F. Sandoz of Astoria and James T. Marr, Portland, repre senting the State Federation of Labor. ' Speakers Listed Among the speakers heard by the committee were B. L. Fleck and Folmer Bodtker, both Des chutes county Farm Bureau mem bers; G. H. Dowers of the same organization in Jefferson county and Vernon Peck, master of the Redmond Grange. All were in fa vor of some degree of recognition of the county in reapportionment. A. J. Glassow, State Represent ative B. A. Stover and Henry N. Fowler, all of Bend, two former legislators, J. F. Short and M. A. Lynch, both of Redmond, and Victor Clark, Redmond lumber man endorsed the principle of representation for the political subdivision as well as for popu lation. Charles Trachsel, Des chutes county stockman, urged that population be the only basis and liked the idea of a one house legislature. Mrs. Alyce M. Scott, Prinevllle, Culinary Alliance sec retary, stood for population only as the basis of apportionment be cause "labor is labor wherever you find it." Low Marks Noted Over Week End The low. night temperatures that chilled Central Oregon over the week end were even under the expectations of the weathert man. who from Portland batur day predicted a low of 28 for that night. In Bend. Saturday night, the r mercury dropped to 15, for the I coldest mark of the spring sea son. Last night, a low ol 18 was recorded here. Cool, but sunny weather was general over Central Oregon this past week end. Gusty winds whipped up dust in some areas, BACK FROM WAR ' SAN FRANCISCO, ir Nine Oregonians were among 3246 Army rotation combat personnel board the navy transport Gen. '. C. Meigs arriving here Mon day at the Port of Embarkation, They included Cpl. Robert E. Kvle, Box 914, Redmond. ing. Gov. Thomas E. Dewev of New York leads the Repub lican state organization cam paign there for the nomination of Gen. Dwight D, Eisenhower. Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio) is con testing for delegates under diffi cult circumstances. New, York has 96 conventions delegates. Pennsylvania's share is 70 dele gates. Taft's situation is consider ably better there than in New York although Sen. James H. Duff (R Pa.) is the Pennsylvania Eisen hower leader. Fine Not Aboard Gov. John S. Fine, however, is not aboard the Eisenhower band wagonat least not yet. Fine will control some of the Pennsylvania delegates, too. There have been Indications that Grundy likes Taft for President. So Pennsylvania's delegation may be divided two or three ways. ' - There is no preferential primary in New York. Pennsylvania has one and Harold E, Stassen is en tered against Eisenhower. On elec tion eve that one looks like no contest and, anyway, the vote will not ama the delegation. As the Pennsylvania delegation goes, so often goes the Republican presidential nomination. That was true back yonder in 1920 when Warren G. Harding's name emerg ed from what the late Ray Clapper called a "smoke filled room." That phrase will be a long time dying. Floor Blasted Again in 1928, the late Andrew W. Mellon blasted the floor, from under stop-Hoover forces at the Kansas City convention with one of his shy little, stuttering - state ments that Pennsylvania was in the Hoover camp. Only four years ago Dewey was having trouble in the Philadelphia convention. Then Sen. Edward Mar tin (R-Pa.) kidnaped about 30 Pennsylvania delegates and deliv ered them to the Dewey manage ment. That broke the dike. The delegate standing of Repub lican candidates as a big political week begins is: Taft 208; Eisen hower 116; Stassen 21; Warren 6; MacArthur 2; uncommitted 67. Stafford Cripps' Condition Grave ZURICH, Switzerland, April 21 m Sir Stafford Cripps, gravely ill former British chancellor of the exchequer, lapsed into unconscious ness Monday. 'Sir Stafford is slowly sinking, Dr. Dagmar Liechti, his physician, said in a mid-morning bulletin. He has drifted into a state of deep and painless unconscious ness. Lady Cripps was at her hus band's bedside in the Bircher Ben ner Clinic. Their daughter Peggy is expected to arrive here Tuesday and their son John on Wednesday. Cripps, who will be 63 Thursday, has been under treatment here Intermittently since November, 1950, for spinal tuberculosis and another "rare and dangerous dis ease" which never has been identi fied publicly. Cripps probably was the most brilliant member of the post-war Labor government of Prime Min ister Clement R. Atlee, who gave him complete charge of Britain's economic and financial affairs at a time when the country seemed headed for bankruptcy. Illness forced Cripps to resign from the cabinet in October, 1950.

April 21 IB President Truman warned Con gress Monday against restricting the use of federal funds for oper ation of the steel mills lest it para lyze government operations in an emergency. Mr. Truman wrote Vice Presi dent Alben W. Barkley, expressing fear that negative legislation might lead to a steel shutdown which. In turn, would 'reduce the ability of our troops in Korea to defend themselves against attack." Mr. Truman directed his crit icism against an amendment be fore the Senate to deny the use of appropriated funds for the opera tion of steel mills seized by the government April 8. The amendment is Republican sponsored. It is an amendment to a $900,000,000 plus supplemental appropriations bill to run some 20 odd federal agencies in this fiscal year ending June 30. Approval Predicted Sen. Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.), author of the measure, predicted senate approval. . But Mr. Truman said he thought that if Congress wanted to act on the steel case, it should indicate a positive course of action rather than telling him what not to do. Mr. Trumuh, cruising on the Po tomac River aboard the U.S.S. .Williamsburg, sent the letter to Barkley while the National Advis ory Board on Mobilization Policy discussed the steel case at the White House. The board heard from Nathan P. Feinsinger, chairman of the Wage Stabilization :8oard, . and-. Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall. Meanwhile, Sen. Wayne L. Morse (R-Oic.) said that some "reaction ary" Republicans qre trying to throw the party's weight behind the "unreasonable demands of the steel companies" for a price in crease. " x Warning Issued He warned his colleagues that they may alienate the "independ ent voters" if they identify the GOP with the "big business" point of view in the current steel wage price dispute. Morse spoke out as the Senate took up a Republican-sponsored measure designed to censure Pres ident Truman for seizing the steel industry April 8 to head off a threatened strike. Sen. Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.), author of the measure, predicted Senate approval. It took the form of an appropriations bill rider to deny use of. federal funds for ad ministering the seized mills; Ridgway Admits Future Uncertain TOKYO, April 21 (IB General Matthew B. Ridgway said Monday that the outlook for a Korean armis tice is still "uncertain." The supreme United Nations commander took a dim view of the prospects for an early peace as Allied and Communist truce negotiators went through another "no progress" sessions in Panmun jom. Ridgway surveyed the Korean war situation from Tokyo, in a two-way conversation with Presi dential Assistant John R. Steelmun on a National Broadcasting Com pany television program. Ridgway, in Tokyo, spoke by telephone with Steelman, in Wash ington, and their conversation was broadcast. '"From all information available to me," the four-star general said. "my i conclusion continues to be that it remain uncertain that an agreement can be reached with the Communists except by sacri- ncing essential principles, which the U. S. command will not do.". When Steelman said some Amer icans thought the truce talks a waste of time and the Allies should pull out of Korea, Ridgway con tended such persons "fail to ap preciate the situation, or the fun damental issues, or both." ROME CELEBRATES ROME. April '21 itfi Rome ob served its 2,705th birthday Monday. Flags of the Italian republic flew from buildings throughout the city.

Taft Supporters Behind Petition Aimed at General WASHINGTON. April 21 U). Sen. Robert A, Taft's supporters 'Monday circulated a petition "de manding'1 that Gen. DwighY'D. Eisenhower take a public stand on 21 "vital questions" most of them bitterly controversial. Taft strategists figure that El senhower is bound to alienate some large blocs of voters if he commits himself, pro or con, on. the questions, rait himself has said that Eisenhower's popularity would diminish if he had to choose sides in various disputed issues. The political dynamite in the petition Is demonstrated by a few sample questions: "Do you approve or tne-firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur?" questions Listed "Are you for or against the Taft-Hartley law?" Do you favor any kind 01 world government?" if nominated and eiecteu, win you clean house in the State De partment, beginning with Dean Acheson . . . and in the Defense Department, beginning with Mrs. Anna Rosenberg?"

Inquiries Received Smith said he got the Idea aft er he received "countless inquir ies" about Eisenhower's position on various matters. He said he always had to reply, "I don't know, and nobody else knows, apparently." Eisenhower's managers main tained a stony silence on the pe tition.
