Boggie Passes
In California
Lebanon, Ore., July 2 (U.R)
Clarence Boggle, 55, who was
pardoned from the Washington
state prison last year after serv
ing 13 years for murder, died to
day in northern California, a
spokesman for his family said to
day. Erie Stanley Gardner, noted
mystery writer, and a Don Mag
nuson, Seattle Times reporter,
led a prolonged and successful
campaign to free Boggie from
the penitentiary at Walla Walla
because they were convinced of
his innocence.
Boggie's aged parents, Mr. and
Mrs. E. L. Boggie, left for Calif
ornia today to take charge of
iuneral arrangements.
Boggie, a lumberjack, was
convicted of the slaying of Mor
itz Peterson, a retired Spokane
hotel and saloon kepeer. He was
sentenced to life imprisonment.
From the beginning, Boggie
said he was innocent and denied
any knowledge of the crime.
As a result of the campaign
conducted by Magnuson, Gard
ner and others interested in the
case, Boggie was given an un
conditional pardon by the then
Gov. Mon C. Walgren of Wash
ington Christmas eve, 1948.
Freed, Boggie married Mrs.
Gertrude McKean, 60, Naches,
Wash., last March.
Red Milhorn
Freed by McKay
Klamath Falls, July 2 VP)
Cleft (Red) Milhorn, accused In
California of complicity In the
39-month old El Rancho Tule
roadhou.se robbery and murder,
was released from the Klamath
county jail at noon today.
A technicality kept him be
hind bars last night.
Sheriff Jack Franey at noon
today received a telegram from
Governor Douglas McKay for
mally notifying him that Cal
ifornia's attempt to extradite
Milhorn from Oregon had been
denied.
A similar telegram from Mc
Kay Friday afternoon was ad
dressed to E. E. Driscoll, the
35-year-old Klamath Falls pa
trolman's attorney.
The telegram to Sheriff Fra
ney said Milhorn could be re
leased from custody "as far as
this (McKay's) office is con
cerned. Upon receipt of the mes
sage, Franey released the pris
oner. The Governor's message said
he was denying California's re
quisition for extradition of Mil
horn "on advice of the attorney
general of Oregon" but gave no
reason.
Because the telegram to Dris
coll was not considered official
word of the governor's action,
Milhorn was kept in jail last
night.
License Fees for
Portland Business
Portland, July 2 W) It's
more expensive to run a busi
ness or a profession In Portland
today.
New license fees, expected to
raise some $1,916,000 a year, are
In effect now, after the start of
he 1949-50 fiscal year. A com
pleated scries of ordinances lev
les a percentage tax on gross
rnlcs In some lines of business
Increases license fees on other
establishments.
Some changes will probably
be made.
One major change, already
made, much to the pleasure of
big firms, was the decision not
to tax sales of goods which will
be used outside the city limits.
Instead of mednls for bravery,
loldiers of Annam, Indo-Chlna,
In 1640 received orders on the
roynl treasury for as much meat
and other foods as they and
their families could eat during
the soldier's lifetime.

Airliner Plunge
Perth, Australia, July 2 (U.R)
A DC-3 airliner crashed and
burned in the middle of a nous
ing project today, killing all 14
passengers and four crewmen.
The crash occurred only a

from which the plane had just

in the housing settlement fled
their homes and a number had
narrow escapes from death or

Airforce Chiefs
Defend Stand
Chicago, July 2 VP) Air Sec
retary Symington said today he
was thankful a congressional in
vestigating committee is going to
give the air force a chance to
tell the "truth" of its case to the
country.
His prepared address at the
Air Force association's conven
tion carefully avoided any dis
cussion of the capabilities of the
B-36 bomber. Such references
had appeared in addresses by air
force officials until the house
armed services committee decid
ed recently to probe B-36 pro
curement and air power strate
gy.
The closest Symington came
in his prepared text to re-open
ing the argument with the navy
over carrier-versus-B-36 was his
statement to the Air Force asso
ciatlon that:
"I am sure most Americans
agree indeed, is there any in
formed person anywhere who
does not agree with your con
viction that Uncle Sam's capa
city to deliver the atomic bomb
anywhere in the world is a great
deterrent to war?"
A second speaker, Gen. Hoyt
S. Vandenberg, air force chief of
staff, said that the air force is
"occupied with its own respon
sibilities."
In his prepared address, Gen.
Vandenberg said:
"Hysterical statements that
the air force is on the verge of
absorbing or abolishing the oth
er services would be merely hu
morous If they were not design
ed to mislead or confuse."

Only 2 Emergency
Oregon Fire Camps
Ted Maul of the state forestry
department said today that only
two emergency fire camps will
be maintained in Oregon this
year instead of the usual five.
Maul said the reduction in the
state's fire protection force is
made necessary by lack of
funds, brought about chiefly
through reduction in the Clarke
McNary allotment to ,the states.
One of this year's camps will
be in Camas valley near the
Roseburg-CooSr Bay highway.
The other will be at Wendling.
The Wendling camp is a new
location. It has been made pos
sible through co-operation of the
Booth-Kelly Lumber company
in turning over a building for
use as a mess hall.

Draws the Line
At Live Lobsters
Baltimore, July 2 VP) Live
lobsters in the boarding house
bathtub? That is just positive
ly, finally and completely too
much. So said the landlady, Mrs.
Philip J. Padovan, today. She
told police Judge James Cadden
that she was mad enough when
52-year-old Perce J. Spence in
sisted on keeping a pigeon, sev
eral dogs and at least one cat
in his room.
Then came the lobster, which
she found swimming around in
the bathtub.
Floating on the water were a
lot of orange peels presumably
lobster food.
Judge Cadden fined Spence
$50 on the ground he was re
sponsible for a ruckus which de
veloped in the rooming house
last night.
Spence told the judge he was
a lover of birds and animals.
And the lobster?
"Oh, I was going to eat that."
No Break in
Hawaii Strike
Honolulu, July 2 VP) Steve
dores of Hawaii have turned
down a peace formula for the
63-day waterfront strike by a
10 to 1 margin, and a settlement
seems far away.
The CIO International Long
shoremen's and Warehouse union
announced yesterday that the
final vote against a fact-finding
board s plan for a 14-cent hour
ly raise was 1,467 to 149.
No one had an answer to the
question "what next?"
Henry Schmidt, ILWU labor
relations committeeman, said the
union would ask the stevedore
companies for another session,
out there was a string attached.
And employers didn't care for
the string.
Schmidt said the union was
willing to reduce its demand for
an increase of 32 cents an hour
from its current $1.40 wage. But
he expected employers to be
willing to bargain above 14
cents.
"We're not going to bargain
upward from 14 cents, that's a
cinch," declared Russell
Starr, spokesman for the em
ployers. In fact, he implied any
new offer would be less than 14
cents although employers pre
viously had accepted the fact
finding board's recommendation.
The union appeared to be get
ting reaay ior a long struggle,
Harry Bridges, head of the IL
WU, is expected by the middle
of next week from San Francisco
to take personal charge of the
siriKe.

Prescribe Work
To Replace Dole
Olympia, Wash., July 2 VP)
Washington state has ordered
persons able to work and with
no dependents cut off the gen
eral assistance rolls until Sep
tember 1.
Increased employment oppor
tunities during the farm har
vesting and food processing ses
sions make the policy change
possible, Roderick Alzendam,
state director of social security,
said. He also called it an econ
omy measure.
Another policy change, de
scribed as an "inventive" pro
posal, permits heads of families
with children under 16 who re
ceive state aid for food to earn
enough to pay for fuel, rent and
utilities without endangering
their state food grants. Previ
ously the food grant was reduc
ed by the amount the head of
the family earned.
Such heads of families, hav
ing no regular jobs although be
ing able to work, are eligible
for the food grants.
The new policy, Olzendam
said, will cost the state more
money, at least while it is be
ing started.
He made no estimate on how
many would be affected by the
two proposals. He said he was
trying to economize wherever
possible as "it's very apparent
to me the people of the state do
not want to pay more taxes."

Union Votes for
Strike at Fords
Detroit, July 2 VP) UAW-CIO
local 600, representing 60,000
workers at the Rouge plant of
the Ford Motor Co., today voted
a strike, subject to call by the
international.
The local announced tabula
tion of the secret ballot showed
2,902 favoring strike action and
172 opposed, with nearly 57,000
abstaining from voting.
The big local thus became the
third Ford unit to authorize the
UAW leadership to call a strike.
Since the union ordered the
strike polls a week ago, Ford
workers at the firm's Mound
Road plant here and one at St.
Paul, Minn., have taken similar
action.
The strike poll results were
announced as the union and
company agreed to extend their
current contract on a day-to-day
basis. The two are at odds over
union demands for a $100-a-month
pension and a wage in
crease.
