WORLD-WIDE NEWS SERVICE Li CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 49th Year BEND, DESCHUTES COUNTY. OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 21, 1952 No. 192 mi si !c m vooren saDQiroronai IK Democrats Kick Off Chicago Convention Importance Of Party Stressed y Stevenson CHICAGO, July 21 IP) Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, still resisting efforts to draft him for the pre sidential nomination, told the Democratic Convention Monday that the party's program is more important than its candidate. . "Who leads us is less import ant than what leads us," he said in formally welcoming the dele gales in behalf of the state of Illinois. "A man doesn't s a v e a century or a civilization, but a militant party wedded to a prin ciple can." The governor's speech gave no encouragement to the party lead ers who want him for standard bearer. But Stevenson supporters, including Illinois National Com mitteeman Jacob M. Arveny, in sisted that his "No" really meant "Maybe." He never referred directly to his own possibly candidacy in his welcoming address, but he urged the delegates to concern them selves with "objectives" rather than "just with personalities." Scorn on GOP He heaped scorn on the Rep ublicans for slaughtering each other at their convention. And he appealed to the Democrats to con duct themselves with the ''dig nity" required by "the solemnity of the hour of history in which we meet." Dspite the governor's reluc tance to get into the race his sup porters went ahead with plans to place his name in nomination, and assured all comers that he would "accept a genuine draft." Reports circulated that Gov. Henry F. Sehricker of I n d i a n a or former undersecretary of nhe Army Archibald Alexander of New Jersey would place Steven son's name before the conven tion. 'Last Opportunity Walter Johnson, co-chairman of the Stevenson for president Com mittee, said the Illinois caucus was Stevenson's 'last opportuni ty" to say flatly that he would turn down a draft. "He did not say, nor imply, that he would refuse the call of the convention to lead the Demo cracy party this fall," Johnson pointed out. The big Pennsylvania delega tion, with 70 votes, gave Steven son a heavy majority in an in formal poll on candidates. He got 32 votes, more than twice as many as any other candidate. But if Stevenson had decided he would accept a draft, he gave no clue in his convention welcom ing speech. His talk centered around the issues he feels the Democrats must campaign on this year. No Excuses Stevenson told the convention it is a very solemn hour indeed" and no time for 'frantic beast and foolish word." f . "Where we have erred, let there be no denial," he said. "Where we have wronged the public trust, let there be no excuses. "But," he said, "we will never appease, nor will we apologize for our leadership in the great events of this critical century rotn Woodrow Wilson to Harry Truman." Reservoir Fills Over Week End The city reservoir filled both Saturday and Sunday mornings, alleviating at least temporarily the critical situation that develop ed last week when heavy irriga tion drew down the reservoir to a hazardous level, it was reported today by Percy Drost, water de partment superintendent. Drst pointed out, however, that water consumption in Bend normally declines on weekends, when many persons are out of town or otherwise vacationing. The real test of whether or not new irrigation hours are solving the problem will come today and tomorrow, when irrigation re turns to normal inside the city, Drost said. The new hours, effective Satur day, call for irrigation only be tween 5 a. m. and 11 a. m., and 5 1 m. ana 3 p. m. Governor Dever To Give Keynote Address Tonight CHICAGO, July 21 (1PV- Gov. Pawl A. Dever of Mossachiigcttti, tonight's keynote speaker for the Democratic. National Convention, says he will use about 40 minutes and 4,600 words to present "the views of the masse of the plain people." Ho reported he has talked to President Truman ubout what ought to be said, but that neither the President nor any other party official bus seen or censored a draft of the speech. Dever indicated he will soft podul the Issue of party frictions and the need for unity. Simulated Search Here Successful Although the number of partici pating planes was not up to ex pectations, Sunday's simulated air search and rescue mission, carried out by the Bend squadron, civil air patrol, was declared to have been highly successful, on comple tion of the program. from a a.m. until a p.m. a total of 28 airplane hours was flown, with six pilots and 20 observers participating. Virtually, all simu-. lated air crashes were located and spotted on maps for the ground parties. Exceedingly turbulent air was enccjuntered, but no accidents occurred: - , " ; Search coordination headquarters were set up in the north hangar at the Bend airport, and all reports and interrogations took place there. Picnic tables also occupied a part of the hangar, with luncheon en joyed at noon by persons partici pating in the event. Following the search, which was carried out at low altitudes, a spot bombing contest, using flour bombs, was staged. The purpose was to train observers to drop supplies to crash victims or lost hunters, if the need ever should arise. Two Bend men, Tom Carter and Bob Petersen, both student pilots, tied in this contest by placing their flour bombs within seven feet of the target. Central Oregon Chamber to Meet Proponents of Pelton dam will be guests of the Central Oregon Chamber of Commerce at a din ner meeting scheduled for tomor row evening at Culver. Harold Millsap and Thomas W. Deizell of the Portland General Electric company will be among the speakers. The state hydro-electric com mission last week denied the pe tition of the Portland power com pany to construct the Pelton dam because of the reputed damage to the salmon industry. Reports from Portland indicate the com pany may appeal the decision of the state agency. w B BEST m K NPS. nSs u r-V-- j V;'..' - V ' fr' V-4 i Vice-President Alben W.

Kefauver, HarrimanSeek Loyalty Pledge CHICAGO, July 21 Oft The forces of Sen. Estes Kefauver and Averell Harriman were reported in agree ment Monday on a proposal to amend the convention rules and require a strong loyalty pledge from the hotly contested Southern delegations. Kefauver and Harriman lieuten ants met this morning and dis cussed a resolution a few hours before the Democratic National Convention's first session. They were reported in agreement, but a last minute change in the word ing was possible. The original agreement was to present a resolution for amend ment of the convention's tempor ary rules and order of business. One part of the resolution would call for "fair play" non-voting of contested delegates and the other would call for a loyalty pledge. Shortly afterward, however, Har riman forces announced that they would submit the loyalty pledge as a new rule to the rules com mittee, rather than an amend ment. . Harriman aides did not say im mediately what form the "fair play" proposal now would. Jake. . ,;!: -.i DEFINITELY lOUTf . CHICAGO, July 21 flit Sen' Hlcn- ard B.

Town of Techachapi Leveled; Residents Describe Horrors Of Early Morning Temblor TRHACHAPI, Calif., July 21 (U.E) A violent earthquaku bucked through California like a wild bronco Monday, level ing this little prison town and leaving "many dead and in jured" in its wake. Ray Cloud, United Press Correspondent and one of tho first from the outside to reach this stricken community of . 2,500, counted 11 dead and 35 injured. ':. i ' "And they are digging up more bodies as fast aaithe res cue crews can break through . 1 ' the debris," said Cloud, who is news editor of radio station KVAL at nearly Lancaster. Another report from the scene, received by a ham radio operator in San Francisco, said "at least 12 dead had been recovered." 'AH the dead and injured were in bed at the time of the quake," Cloud said. Most of (he dead were in the two-story brick hotel In the center of the business district. .'' Business District Flat The entire business district is flat,"- he added. "There is not a building standing." Ho described the town as "a scene of horror ' with residents gingerly picking their way through the broken bricks and twisiea metal looking, for relatives or friends. "It slill is all confusion," he added. "The people are not sure what hit them even yet more than four hours after the quake." The quake, described by Dr. Joseph Lynch of Fordham Univer sity as "the second most powerful to ever hit California," rolled across the Mojave desert shortly before dawn and was oficiaily clocked at 4:55 a.m. Rolling Waves The long, rollint waves of the quako -were felt Tin diminishing strength for the next 45 minutes It was felt as far north as Santa Rosa, Calif., 60 miles above San Francisco; south to Ensenada Mex.. 200 miles south of Los An geles, and east to Reno, Nov., and the Arizona border. Tho waves which twisted ir every direction rendered the beau. tiful Tehachapi California women's prison "unusable" and forced the inmates to scurry from the build ing In fear of their lives. While the Mojave desert area caught the brunt of the recurring quakes, the rest ot southern Cali fornia was lolled out oi nea ana in most cases onto the streets in ter ror. Fires Started Two huge oil fires were started, at a refinery 25 miles southwest of Bakersfield and in an old field near Newhall. Two Southern Paci fic right-of-way tunnels were col lapsed and eight miles of track twisted into a metal web. A half dozen downtown Los An geles buildings spewed their plate glass windows onto the nearly de serted streets, while the jarring set off hundreds of burglar alarms and set church bells to chiming in Pa sadena. A large portion of n mountain 10 miles south of- Gorman on the Ridge Route, main inland auto ar tery between Southern and North ern Calilornin, slipped with the first jolt and blocked the highway necessitating the rerouting of traf fic. A half dozen other slides also blocked the wide four-lane super highway across the Tehachapi mountains. Aid Flown In Four planeloads of Red Cross doctors, nurses and rescue person nel were flown to Tehachapi. "All hell broke loose," said Ed Ritter. a Riverside, Calif., news paperman who made a vacation gas stop in this sleepy little town seconds before it "woke with n rumble which sounded like the dis tant exploding of an artillery shell." Dr. Charles F. Hichter. seismol ogist for the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, concur red with Father Lynch in declar ing it was "a major quake." When the first rolling motion started just before 5 a.m., lights lit up over Southern California and switchboards were flooded with thousands of calls. Frightened per sons scrambled to the streets, barefooted and in robes or in night clothing. The quake hit Los Angeles at about 4:55 a.m. in a series of long, rolling shakes. It was felt as far north as Santa Rosa, nearly 500 miles from here. About 5 Minutes A night deputy at the Monterey County sheriff's office In Salinas reported the quake lasted about five minutes. In the Los Angeles area, the series of shocks lasted for nearly a half hour, with each succeeding temblor diminishing in strength. The r.uake also was felt in San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, but no damage was reported. Murray Reports Steel Talks At .!' ' - Hopeless Impasse Iy ,J. ROBERT SHt'IlKRT PITTSBURGH, . July 21 llfl CIO President Philip Murray told top policy makers of the CIO United Stcelworkers Monday that the 50 day strike against the steel indus try is hopelessly deadlocked. After a one hour and 15 minute review of the long negotiations, which he said twice were on the brink of agreement only to be blocked by an "unholy Industry alliance, Murray declared: "There is no hope of satisfactory resolution of any of the items I have received for you today." Alccts Industry He said that he had met with industry representatives Sunday, at the request of President Tru man, but found them "in no mood to moke a settlement." Murray said the issue standing In the way-ot.iua end, to the economy-punishing strike which has Idled more than 1,500,000 workers in steel and allied industry, . was the steel makers' refusal to require workers to stay in the union, once they join. Murray made plain he was ready to hold out until the steel industry grants the union's version of the union shop. No Weakness "I find no evidence of weakness. Everybody is 1,000 per cent solid. I find no grumbling or hesitation. You are in the thick of It." Murray adjourned the morning session and challenged the repre- sentaJives q! three major steel companies to appear at the after noon meeting of the committee and state the industry's position. Murray charged that the indus try representatives are "cold, de ceitful, lying citizens who sit with their hands folded and refuse to debate the issues."
