William A. Julian
U.S. Treasurer
Dies in Crash
Washington. May 30 (If)
William A. Julian, aged treasur
er of the United States, was kill
ed yesterday morning in an au
tomobile accident as he drove to
a country club to play a round
of golf.
Julian had served In his trea
sury post for 16 years and dur
ing that time had issued $87,
000,000,000 worth of currency.
His signature appears on U.S.
paper money, opposite that of
the secretary of the treasury.
Various records gave his age
at from 78 to 87; friends said
the latter was probably most
nearly correct.
Death came in a head-on col
lision with another car in a
county road in nearby Bethesda,
Md. The two men In the other
car were only slightly hurt; no
charges were filed in the acci
dent. Julian was appointed to the
job of treasurer by Franklin D.
Roosevelt in 1933. The position
is held at the pleasure of the
president, with no fixed expira
tion date. .
The treasurer, not to be con
fused with the cabinet post of
secretary of the treasury, has
the job of receiving and disburs
ing public money, issuing and
redeeming paper currency and
coin, etc.
Vishinsky to
Quiz Big 3
Paris. May 30 'Pi Soviet For
eign Minister Andrei Vishin
sky, who rose to fame as pro
secutor in the 1937 Moscow
"purge" trials, is expected to
cross-examine the foreign min
isters of the western powers to
day. Vishinsky reportedly has a
barrage of questions ready on
the western proposal to extend
the Bonn constitution for a west
German federal republic to
eastern Germany.
He is to meet with Secretary
of State Dean Acheson, Foreign
Secretary Ernest Bevin and For
eign Minister Robert Schuman.
Authoritative sources in the
western camp predicted the
Russians eventually would re
ject the western offer. These
sources feel no doubt that pro
western groups will win a free
election in all Germany and the
iron curtain will be pushed back
to the Polish and Czechoslovak
frontiers.
The Russian foreign minister
is expected to shower the west
with lengthy interrogation on
each phase of the joint American-British-French
project sub
mitted to the four-power foreign
ministers council Saturday.
Initial Soviet comment, voic
ed by Tass and Russian publi
cations, criticized the western
plan as a breach of the Potsdam
agreement, which established
the four-power allied control
council for Germany. A main
criticism was that the plan pro
vides for majority decisions,
limiting the veto power.

Women Raise
Hospital Fund '
You can always count on the
women to render valiant service
in any welfare venture.
The two hospital auxiliaries
are taking the Formula Rooms
in their respective hospitals.
They earn their money by hold
ing rummage sales, bazaars, teas
and all manner of ingenious
worthy activities.
Their contributions come out
of this earned money as treas
ury money. It does not represent
a "pass the hat" collection for
the campaign. They will accept
the opportunity to make their
personal pledges to the Hospital
Development fund along with
others during the general soli
citation campaign.
The Formula Rooms are the
last and best expression of safe
ty in the preparation of food for
babies and small children. They
are presided over by trained
nurses who may justly be call
ed "specialists." Once many ba
bies were lost because we had
not learned how to prepare for
mulas to suit each baby's needs.
Thanks to scientific research
and to the right equipment and
properly trained dietitians and
nurses to carry out doctors' or
ders. And thanks to the good
women who put their time and
their hearts into this grand
work
These Formula Rooms repre
sent a subscription of $2000 by
Salem Memorial hospital auxil
iary of which Mrs. P. W. Geiser
is president, and a subscription
of $2500 by Salem General hos
pital auxiliary, of which Mrs.

GOP Pamphlet
On Legislature
Republican leaders of Oregon
are not ashamed of the record
established by the majority
party in the 1949 legislature.
In fact, under the signatures
of Governor Douglas McKay:
William E. Walsh, president of
the senate, and Frank J, Van
Dyke, speaker of the house, the
republican state committee has
issued a pamphlet outlining the
major accomplishments of the
party in the way of legislation.
Attention Is directed to the
fact that the state budget was
balanced without imposing a
new tax even though a $38,000.-
000 deficit faced the solons at
the opening of the session. In
this connection an interim com
mittee was authorized to con
duct a study of the state's tax
problems and recommend a solu
tion to the 1951 legislature.
Adoption of a 15-year long
range pay-as-you-go highway
modernization program; in
crease of educational benefits to
veterans; increase in unemploy
ment benefits from $20 to $25 a
week and for 26 weeks instead
of 20; establishment of a state
milk administration; appropria
tion of $7,000,000 for higher
education buildings and $2,000,
000 for state Institutions and re
organization of the state game
commission with 15 extra police
game enforcement officers, are
among other GOP accomplish
ments referred to in the pamph
let.

today took on a sizable supply
of groceries, gave a lady-like

her mother to Kennewick,

scales 5 pounds 5 's ounces.
When she was born March 27
at Kennewick, Christine was al
most too wee to see. Her moth
er, Mrs. Iver Langlo, 39. said
the doctor opined the little one
had "no chance" of surviving
the first 24 hours.
Came the dawn, though, and
Christine was still there, em
phatically announcing she was
hungry. She was put in a port
able incubator and hurried 255
miles to Seattle by car. The doc
tor said Christine was stronger
when she arrived than when she
left.
For a time, the tiny one was
fed with an eye-dropper, but
soon began taking her victuals
like the big girls. She lived in
her incubator the first seven
weeks.
Christine has three brothers.

Berlin's paralyzing railway

said leaders of the 12,000 anti

would compromise on their prin

way offered last week to pay

Pinson and Benson made their
escape from their detention cells
with the aid of a saw and wrench
hich apparently had been
smuggled in to them. Prison of
ficials said it was the first time
that anyone has escaped from
the "hull pen."
A hail of bullets greeted the
convicts as they dropped off
the south wall and began run
ning across the broad peniten
tiary lawn. Guard's believe that
one of the fleeing men was hit
while running near the rear of
the guard's shack. He is said to
Imve fallen momentarily then
got up and resumed running.
This was the last glimpse any
one has ronortod of the 4 -n.
Manhunt Now On
Patrol cars swarmed the area
with a barrage of searchlights
in a matter of minutes, armed
men on foot checked every pos
sible clue as to the men's where
abouts, and road blocks were
thrown about the city, but the
convicts could not be found.
Slim Maw. a guard at the pris
on flax sheds, reports that he
ound a series of prints made by
bare feet in a creek running be
low South 25th street. Neither
of the men wore wearing shoes
it the time of the escape.
Allen McRae and myself pa-
iroled all roads, railways,
crcrks, etc., from an airplane as
soon as daylight permitted, but
saw no evidence of the convicts.
