man-controlled broadcasts.
While these sought to give the
picture of a completely normal
Germany, with the plot
scotched, other bits of informa
tion indicated the revolt was
still on.
(The "Atlantic" radio, sup-'
posedly operated inside Ger

burst forth in Germany" and
"part of the eastern army is
deserting and returning from
the front.")
Allied propagandists bombard
ed the reich with broadcasts
urging the Germans to deal the
death blow to the Hitler regime.
A traveler reaching Sweden
today declared that two German
divisions revolted Wednesday
in Prussia, apparently touching
off the movement which culmin
ated in the reported bomb at
tempt on Adolf Hitler's life.
New bits of information re:
layed by Berlin on the incident
in which Hitler was said to have
been burned and bruised by an
explosion included the Berlin
announcement that the one man
fatally injured in Hitler's circle
was a press stenographer. He
previously had been identified
as "collaborator Berger.

nazism apparently had been or
ganized under responsible lead

The strongest indication that
Gestapo Chief Himmler, despite
the sweeping powers conferred
upon him by Hitler, had not yet
completely liquidated the out

tral communications with Ger

similar to the break Wednesday

Signs Point to Revolt
Speeches by Hitler, Reichs
marshal Goering and Admiral
Karl Boenitz, commander of the
German navy, berating traitor
ous generals were the surest
signs of revolt, even if abortive,
within the reich.
The question was whether it
would be snowballed or crush
ed by the purge. There was a
possibility it might grow as the
militarists sought to save them
selves by resisting the gestapo.
It was felt here that nazis
had two choices to try to hush
up the incident or to twist the
facts into propaganda and cre
ate an emotional story on the
home front. The fact that the
latter course was chosen sug
gested a revolt of such dimen
sions that it could not be con
cealed. The soviet-sponsored free Ger-F
The soviet-sponsored free Ger

in its most acute form and that
valuable key positions have al
ready been seized from bank
rupt nazi bosses."
Nazi leaders made fervent ef
forts to rally the home front.
Vacation Case
Before Court
The county court Friday
morning took under advisement
a petition of Mrs. Ora F. Mc
Intyre for vacation of Eldon
avenue east of the city between
Sunnyview and the Garden
road, this being a dedicated,
but not a county road. The
petition stated that Mrs. Mcln
typre owns all of the lots abut
ing on the roadway with excep
tion of certain property owned
by A. E. and Edna G. Wood
who reside at 180 Sunnyview
avenue, and asserts they have
adequate means of ingress and
egress.
Mr. and Mrs. Wood appeared
at the hearing in person to make
objections and also a remon
strance and supporting peti
tion were on file signed by Mr.
and Mrs. Wood and about 50
others, protesting against clos
ing of the roadway. ;
The remonstrance stated that
the road has a graveled sur
face, is well graded, that a
number of persons use the ave
nue day and night and that all
types of vehicles pass through
between Sunnyview avenue and
the Garden road and that it is a
short accessible avenue be
tween Sunnyview avenue and
Fisher road to the Garden road
used by many school children
and persons employed in vari
ous industries in reaching the
bus which plies on the Garden
road.
The Woods stated that there
a number of women with chil
dren, wives of men in the serv
ice, who go to their work by
using this cutoff to catch the
bus, and their children go to
Englewood school and the high
school and use the cutoff. They
stated at times in the winter
Sunnyview avenue, or parts of
it, are under water, so it is
necessary to use Eldon avenue,
or go way around via another
route.
Mrs. Mclntyre said that the
roadway was often used at
night by persons who park
their cars there. Inasmuch as
it is merely a dedicated road
and not a county road, the
maintenance and responsibility
of the roadway falls onto her,
it was stated.

Trip by FDR
Kept Secret
By Howard Flieger
A Pacific Coast Naval Base,
July 20 (Thursday) UP) Pre
sident Roosevelt tonight ac
cepted nomination for a fourth
term from a special train deep
inside this mighty naval base.
Mr. Roosevelt, accompanied
by his top military aides, reach
ed this base Wednesday night
after a six-day transcontinental
trip which was locked in the
secrecy of military security.
Only a- few hundred people
saw the presidential train as it
moved through 16 states a
sharp contract to the multitudes
which jammed the route of pre
sidents in peace time. Few of
those who happened to see the
train managed to guess the
identity of its No. 1 passenger.
He never let himself be seen.
The party left Washington
the night of July 13, accom
panied by reporters for the
Associated Press, the United
Press and the International
News Service. It spent the next
day at the Roosevelt home in
Hyde Park, where Mrs. Roose
velt joined the group, then
made an overnight journey to
Chicago. From then on the
route cannot be told because of
wartime security regulations
restricting discussion of presi
dential travel.
With the president ' were
Adm. William D. Leahy, chief
of staff to Mr. Roosevelt; Maj.
Edwin M. Watson, his military
aide; Rear Adm. Wilson Brown,
his naval aide; Vice Adm. Ross
T. Mclntire, the president's
physician, and Samuel I. Rosen
man, special counsel to the
president and one of Mr. Roose
velt's close advisors.
Also on the train was Elmer
Davis, director of the office of
war information, who explain
ed to reporters he was not a
member of the presidential
party. He said he plans to leave
the group to make a personal
inspection of OWI operations.
The president's fondness for
his Scotty, Fala, tipped the
trip to some spectators who
happened to see the black pup
being exercised along railroad
sidings and identified him al
most instantly.
More Strength
(Continued from page 1)
Texas regulars decided to
give him 22 'A on the first bal
let which brought his potential
total on that test to 66 Vi.
Senator D. 'Worth Clark- said
Idaho would go. for' Wallace,
adding another 10 votes, and
Nevada decided to give seven of
its eight votes to Wallace after
a first ballot complimentary
vote . for Senator Joseph C.
O'Mahoney.
8he stadium blossomed with
vari-colored signs proclaiming
"the people want Roosevelt and
Wallace," "Roosevelt and Tru
man for Victory," "We Want
Frank and Fank" and so on.
The Rev. John Thompson, re
tired pastor of the Chicago
Methodist Temple,, opened the
session with prayer, and Bar
bara Scully of the Chicago
Opera company sang the na
tional anthem.
Nominations Begin
Swiftly pushing through rou
tine business, the delegates at
12:33 p.m. got down to their
real business nominating a
vice presidential candidate.
Senator Lister Hill of Ala
bama placed the first name in
nomination his colleague, Sen
ator John Bankhead. Hill call
ed Bankhead "the champion of
th efarmer, the man who can
best aid him in winning the
war, in winning the peace, In
winning jobs, and in winning
a prosperous ecoomy after the
war."
Boos broke from the galler
ies when Arizona yielded to
Missouri for the nomination of
Truman, and Chairman Samuel
Jackson admonished the audi
ence to give every speaker a
courteous hearing.
Nominating Truman, Senator
Bennett Champ Clark of Mis
souri said his colleague had
done more to help win the war
than any civilian except the
president, adding:
"The president of the United
States himself has written a
letter in which he said he would
be very glad to run with Harry
Truman and believes that he
wtil add real strength to the
ticket."
Gov. Lester C. Hart of Wyom
ing, nominated the senior sen
ator from his state, O'Mahoney.
"The vice presidency de
mands young and vigorous lead
ership," Hunt declared.

Truman, Martin V. Coffee of

Ohio, declared the Missouri
senator had saved the lives of
thousands of American fight
ing men through the watchdog
activities of his senate com
mtitee investigating war pro
duction. Let Go for Wallace
At that point, Chairman
Jackson attempted to clear hun
dreds of visitors out of the
blocks of seats reserved for al
ternates, but few moved.
The Wallace nomination came
next, and the galleries let go
with the noisiest roar of the
day.
Pleading for renomination of
the tousle-haired vice president,
Richard F. Mitchell of Fort
Dodge, Iowa, said "the demo
cratic party already has given
to the nation a vice president
who has made of the vice presi
dency what our founding fath
ers must have had in mind
when that office was inaugurat
ed first assistant to the presi
dent, a partner in fact."
Mitchell also reminded the
delegates that Mr. Roosevelt
had written "if I were a dele
gate to this convention I would
vote for Henry A. Wallace."
Jackson tried vainly to re
store order when the vice pre
sident's friends began a "We
Want Wallace" parade down the
center aisle.
The biggest volume of Wal
lace chants seemed to come
from the topmost balcony.
Senator Bankhead, a conten
der for the vice presidency in
his own right, remarked to a
reporter: "It certainly looks as
if the CIO has taken over the
convention."
A and struck up "loway, Io
way. That's Where the Tall
Corn Grows," and the confu
sion grew like Iowa corn in
August.
Three gas-filled balloons, te
thered to a parader by a light
thread, floated high toward the
ceiling carrying a Wallace pos
ter. The demonstration lasted 12
minutes.
Ohio, first of the big state
delegations to caucus on this
climatic final day, announced
21 of its 52 votes would go to
the Iowan and 9 to the man
from Missouri when roll-call
balloting gets under way, prob
ably in mid-afternoon. v
This left Wallace, going Into
the red-hot final session, with
a total of 337 H pledged and
claimed votes and Truman with
83. For a nomination, 589 are
required.
Military Governor
Of Hawaii Quits
Honolulu, Hawaii, July 21 VP)
Lt. Gen. Robert C. Richard
son last night relinquished the
title of military governor of
Hawaii and said his office would
be continued under the name
of office of internal security.
The change does not end Ha
waii's martial law status, now
under attack , in U. S. courts.
General Richardson said in a
statement:
"I believe that the title has
served its purpose and I have
decided that all necessary se
curity measures under the pre
sent modified form of martial
law can adequately be taken
care of by issuance of direc
tives or orders by virtue of my
title of commanding general of
the central Pacific area."

Lions Hear
Joe Silver
The workings of the state of
fice of paroles and probations
and the problems faced by those
who are charged with the prop
er functioning of that depart
ment were explained Thursday
noon by Joe Silver, senior
parole officer for the benefit of
the members of the Salem Lions
club during their luncheon.
Silver predicted that the day
is approaching when 'there will
be an augmented adult problem
to add to the one on juvenile
delinquency. He said that al
ready the Oregon penitentiary
has received men who have
seen service in the present war,
and he expects the list to grow
to a considerable extent.
Failure to find for themselves
a place in a community after
having served a prison term is
chiefly responsible for the vio
lation of trust, the speaker said.
During the past fiscal year 8' a
percent of those paroled had
their paroles revoked. Sixty
percent of this group were
charged with technical 'viola
tions of the parole regulations.
The board has a case load of
826 at the present time, 623 of
whom are Inside the state while
89 are with the armed forces.
Due to a reciprocal agreement,
the Oregon board is acting as
supervisors for 176 cases from
other states.
