Election Change
Sought by GOP
Portland, March 24 VP) Ore
gon republican leaders intend
to ask the state legislature to
remove the election of national
committeemen and committee
women from the primary ballot
and place their selection in the
hands of the state central committee.
A resolution to that effect
was passed at the committee's
week-end meeting here.
James A. Rodman, Eugene,
re-elected chairman, said the
proposal was "a step in the di
rection of a truly representative
party vote. It is now possible for
any man with a few thousands
of dollars to spend and a pair
of brass lungs to make a cre
ditable race for national com
mitteeman." Mrs. John Y. Richardson,
Portland, was elected vice
chairman; Newell Elliott, Ba
ker, secretary, and Sigfrid Un-
ander, Portland, treasurer.

Marshall in
Key Position
La Jolla, Cal., March 24 U.R
It means war if Secretary of
State George Marshall fails in
his dealings with Moscow, re
tired Marine Corps Gen. Hol
land M. (Howling Mad) Smith
said today.
"We must have straight think
ing and .a strong front and I
think Gen. Marshall is our
man," he said. "If he fails .
it means war. It means that
Russia will oppose us at the
Dardanelles, move into Greece
and Turkey and eventually Iraq
and Iran, taking the oil fields
and shutting off the British em
pire from the Suez."
The veteran of many Pacific
landings suggested that ex-G. I.'s
keep their uniforms brushed off
instead of putting them in moth
balls. "The United States is sitting
on the edge of a volcano," he
said. "We are the only people
who can save this world.
"We believed a little more
than a year ago, after the allies
had put down the aggressors
and had stated their joint pur
poses to make an aggressive war
a crime, that we would quickly
agree on a peace. Now our
hopes in the United Nations are
almost swept away. The allies
appear now to fear Russia just
as they once feared Hitler."
He warned that the United
States is'running true to form in
lapsing into unpreparedness.

a bill Saturday to order the
board to acquire the hospital,
which is located near Medford.
Truman Trip
Held Certain
Spokane, Wash., March 24 OP)
Callison Marks, Spokesman
Review staff writer, said today
in a signed article that "despite
denials from Governor Wall
gren, this writer reaffirms the
statements attributed to the gov
ernor which appeared in the
Sunday Review" and which stat
ed that President Truman would
visit the Pacific northwest in I
June and make a flying trip to
the Alaskan interior.
In a dispatch from Belling-
ham, Wash., Marks said "during
the Friday night interview, the
governor said he had that day
talked to John Snyder, secretary
of the treasury, and that Mr.
Snyder had virtually confirmed
the forthcoming visit of Presi
dent Truman to the Pacific
northwest and Alaska in June."
'The governor mentioned spe
cifically plans for the cruise to
Juneau and Anchorage and the
air flight into the Alaska inte
rior," Marks said.
Marks yesterday also quoted
the governor as saying that a
proposed supersonic aviation re
search center would be estab
lished at Moses Lake, Wash., by
the army. The governor later
also denied making the state
ment.
In last night's dispatch, Marks
said;
"The governor, in answer to
my query, said that the Boulder
dam area for the project was
'out' and that the project would
not be sponsored by the national
advisory committee for aeronau
tics but by the army.
"He said the final decision had
been made and that initial funds
for the project were assured."

Black Dahlia
Clue Checked
St. Louis, Mo., March 24 (U.fi)
A blood-stained handkerchief
and a revised "confession" which
may link 23-year-old Melvin R.
Bailey with the mutilation-murder
of Elizabeth (Black Dahlia)
Short were en route to Los An
geles police today.
The flowered handkerchief,
given St Louis police by Bailey,
was found yesterday to have
been stained with human blood
several weeks ago. Bailey claims
it is Miss Short's handkerchief
and her blood and that he car
ried it as a "keepsake" after
slashing and cutting her body
in two with an eight-inch marine
combat knife.
Bailey, who made his first con
fession March 18, changed his
statement Sunday, adding more
details to the gruesome story he
told of mutilating the 52-year-old
girl's body during a fit of
rage because she refused to ac
company him from Los Angeles
to St. Louis.
His new statement, however.
did not correct the original dis
crepancy m the dates. Mliss
Short's body was discovered Jan
uary 15, and police said she was
dead less than 12 hours. Bailey
claims to have killed the girl
early in the morning of Janu
ary 13.
