Elsenhower. Byrnes said he will vote for the Republican nominee because Gov. Adlai Stevenson's views on South ern issues are becoming like President Truman's.

Brynes said the Democratic can didate has switohwl his views on the TaftiHartley law, fair employ ment practices and the filibuster rule since his nomination, to con form with those of the President: Loyal to Country "I shall not vote for the label," Brynes declared. "I shall do what I have heretofore urged others to do. I shall place loyalty to my, country above loyalty to a politi cal party and I shall vote for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.. Brynes, last Aug. 5, had whip ped his State Democratic Conven tion into line behind the party ticket, but he presumably will vote as an independent with a second slate of Eisenhower elec tors placed on the South Caro lina ballot by a recent petition of 55,407 rebellious Democrats, in cluding Byrnes himself.

Sit Operating Auto Stage in Bend in 1910 Was No Easy Job, Early-Day Resident Recalls A man who some 40 years ago owned a one-fourth interest in Kenwood division, which com prised most of west side Bend of the present, is a visitor here this week and he agrees that the vil lage of 1910 has changed a lot in the four decades. He is Edgar R. Post, of Elgin. III., who came here from Klamath Falls In 1909 to enter the real estate business and acquired an auto stage busi ness before leaving. One of his auto stage competi tors of distant years was Walter G. Coombs. Operating an auto stage was no. easy Job in the Bend region of 1910. Post recalls. He had a Stoddard-Dayton car, and It was mostly used In transporting land seekers to various parts of Cen-1 E BEND SECTIONS BEND, Stalin Quoted LONDON. Sent. 1Q (tn 3m,lt Premier Josef Stalin was quoted Friday as saying he was anxious to avoid a shooting war but was fully prepared for a 10 to 15-year cold war. The Soviet leader's views were contained in a revised version of an interview he granted Italian pro-communist Socialist leader ftetro Nenni last July at the Kremlin as reported by Richard n. o. irossman, a journalist and lieutenant oi leitwing British La borlte Aneurin Bevan. , 1 Crossman detailed in the cur rent issue of the leftwing New statesman and Nation a recent discussion he had on the Stalin interview with Nenni In Ita v.- The Russian nremler "found it difficult to take Americans , seri ously and seemed to derive a jovial pleasure from his teasing diplomacy," Nenni was quoted as saying. l he crossman-Nenm account said Stalin was confident Russia could hold Its own in a comneti- tive armaments race because the Soviet bloc could stand the eco nomic strain better than the West. However, it added. Stalin said he Vwould do everything possible to avoid any provocative action." utner mat or points in tne Crossman version of what Stalin said were: 1, The Kremlin did not believe the world situation has deterior ated in the last two years. 2.

Army on the Ko rean peninsula. It's Hot, But No Dying' summer took a new lease on life yesterday when the tem perature reached 89 degrees, with 90-degree temperature in prospect for most parts of Central Oregon today. : Observers in charge of the Bend weather station agreed that the day was warm for late September, but they said no records were broken. However, 90 degree weather is most unusual for latter part of Septem ber in the interior counties. Once upon a time, way back in 1917, the mercury reached 91 de grees In early October, to set an all-time high for that autumn month. The present warm weather, which is In striking contrast with the cool days and frosty nights of. only a week ago, is being welcome'd in the Central Oregon Irrigated lands, where clover is again being hulled following a week's layoff earlier in the month, and where potatoes are ripening in the ground following a frost that nipped vines. The Sep tember frost was not general in the Central Oregon counties, however, and green vines still cover some fields. Are You Certain Of Registration?

Besides passengers, the auto stage also carried spare springs for front and back, some extra universal joints, a complete differential assembly and extra gas, which was purchased at $1 a gallon, with two five-gallon tin containers in each wooden box. Even in Bend, motorists of 40 years ago experienced plenty of trouble, and Post recalls occasions when cars had to be towed from mud holes on Bond and Oregon streets, while spectators stood on board walks, at a considerable elevation above the level of the dirt streets. Post was co-chairman of Bend's big Railroad Day parade on Octo- hpr 6. 1911. and. he recalls, rode i a horse through the main streets.

New Church Operators Fight To Hold Ranks Against lem ' WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 (IB-The Bituminous Coal Operators Assn. fought Friday to hold Its ranks against John L. Lewis' dlvlde-and-conquer strategy in the soft coal Industry. Lewis, with a strike of Northern soft coal diggers expected at mid night Sunday, has a standing offer not to strike any Northern soft conl operator who agrees to a 'c o e p t whatever contract Is finally nego tiated between the United Mine Workers and the associations. . : Thai Is a tempting offer to the Individual operators. Each would like to be sure of being in business, strike or no strike. . , But it puts the squeeze harder on operators who stick with the association in resisting Lewis' de mands i and nre shut down by the expected walkout of some 200,000 diggers Sunday night. Tempted by Offer Indiana and .Illinois members of the association are reported strong ly tempted by Lewis' offer. Meanwhile, Joseph E. Moody "of the Southern Coal Producers' Assn. said top men in his group would hold a "family pow-wow" today to map strategy. Southern miners, numbering about 100,000, ure scheduled to walk out Oct. 1 unless the Southern coal operators and Lewis reach an agreement before then. . Lewis and the nnlhrncltu oper ators this week signed an "Inter im" contract pending outcome of the soft coal fight.

No. 243 Veep Nominee Puts Blame On 'Hiss Crowd' SACRAMENTO, Sept. 19 (IB -Son. Richard M. Nixon said Friday the charge he was "M orally wrong" In using $17,000 from an outside political fund is just an other smear from the "Alger Hiss crowd:" , : The youthful'' Republican vice' presidential nominee promised hU supporters the attack on his moral, character would" not "slow up my attack ugulnst Communism and corruption.!' . i "This is another typical attempt-' ed smear by the ' same left yving elements which have fought me ever since I took part In- the In vestigation which led to the convic tion of Alger Hiss," Nixon said. - Left-wing Elements rNixon's blast at the "left wing elements" was his renlv tn n de-.: mand by Democratic national Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell that he withdraw from the Republican ticket because he had accepted out side money from 'a g ro u p of Californiuns. Mitchell asked GOP presidential candidate Dwight D. Elsenhower to disown Nixon as his running mate because "tne American people know this Is morally wrong." . v.-., Nixon said by the same logic: Sen,. John J. Sparkman of Ala bama, the Democratic vice presi dential nominee, should be asked' to resign. He. said Sparkman's wife "Is on the federal payroll,", whereas Mrs. Nixon is not. . . Hhows Concern , 1 " At' Omaha, Neb., where Elsen hower spent the night, aides said the Republican presidential nomi nee showed concern aba ut .the charges against Nixon. ..: Democratic presidential nominee Adlal Stevenson said the disclosure that Nixon had access to outside funds was "the best break of tho campaign." , , 1 At Washington, the Bureau ot In ternal Revenue declined as a mat ter of policy, to give an opinion. on. the Nixon case as on Individual instance. A spokesman for the bu reau said such contributions gen erally would not be taxable If they were "out and, out gifts." They are taxable, he said, If they are made for any service. Covers Expenses Nixon, who admitted the money had been mnde available to him, said he used it to cover postage, travel, clerical and printing ex penses, Items which he could have charged to the 'American tux- payers - He said the originators of the report he had received money from wealthy Callfornlans, h e a d e d by Los Angeles Tax Attorney Dana C. Smith, were making "just an at tempt at a political smear." The authors of the report, Nixon said, "have tried to manufacture and create an air of suspicion over a matter which is completely open and above board in every respect."
