Substitute for
Atlantic Pact
1 Washineton. July 14 Vn Re
publican Senators Taft of Ohio
and Flanders of Vermont pro-
nosed today extending the Mon
roe doctrine to western Europe
as an alternative to the North
Atlantic treaty.
Their idea would be to leave
the United States as the sole
judge of what steps to take in
the event of an aggressive move
against any western European
nation.
A resolution calling upon Pre
sident Truman to extend the
Monroe doctrine to western
Europe was offered by Flanders
for himself and Taft during sen
ate debate on the 12-nation
North Atlantic pact.
"This is a unilateral action we
can control," Flanders told re
porters.
Both Taft and Flanders have
announced their opposition to
the Atlantic pact. It would bind
each of the 12 signers to consid
er an attack against any one of
them as an attack on all.
The Monroe doctrine, as pro
claimed by President Monroe
in 1823, was designed to protect
western hemisphere nations
from European designs.
Heat Wave in
East Subsides
(By th Aisoeifttod Preu)
Temperatures leveled off to
nearly normal marks over most
of the country today.
Cool air moved over parts of
the northern plains and north
ern Great Lakes region, sending
the mercury slightly below av
erage figures. The mercury was
in the high 40's and SO's in some
of the cool belt early today,
There were quite a few wet
spots, but . no additional rain
was reported in the northeast
ern drought area. However,
some relief to the parched crops
resulted from yesterday's show
ers. Rain fall today in parts of Il
linois, Michigan, Wisconsin and
another wet belt extended from
eastern Virginia to the Caroll
nas and into Georgia. Some
showers also were reported In
Tennessee and eastern Kentucky,
and in scattered sections of the
Rocky Montains.
Yesterday's highest tempera
tures included 112 at Yuma,
Ariz., 109 at Phoenix, Ariz. The
mercury was in the 90's over
most of Texas.
Rescued After Ducking
In Mill Creek
Alfred Robillard, 85, and a
transient, claimed somebody
threw him off the bridge into
Mill creek at 14th and Center
late Tuesday night, but when
the first aid, called by residents
of the district, reached the scene
the man was all by himself, very
wet inside and outside. He was
turned over to police who book
ed him on an intoxication
charge.
Upstream residents report
they heard loud voices in argu
ment earlier in the night. The
discussion suddenly terminated
and when calls for help were
heard the first aid crew was
contacted.
Robillard was uninjured al
though he was in some danger
of drowning as he floundered in
the stream. He was pulled
from the creek through the as
sistance of a short ladder from
the bank.

Newspaper Enterprise associa
tion and Charles Gratke of the
Christian Science Monitor.
The remains of three victims
had not been recovered from the
muddy hillside north of Bom
bay where the plane crashed. It
still was raining, and the search
was proceeding with difficulty.
P. H. Tirion of the Royal
Dutch Airline said the Indian
government and the line prob
ably would issue a joint report
on the investigation. He said the
report was not likely to be
ready for at least a week.
Late Selling
Lowers Grains
Chicago, July 14 VP) A late
selling flurry sent grains lower
today after the market had spent
most of the day barely moving.
The selling, concentrated in
the last 13 minutes of dealings,
started in soybeans They lost
several cents. Action of this
commodity unnerved others
and weakness spread into other
pits. Corn displayed resistance
to the decline.
Until the close, the only real
trend shown anywhere was in
oats, which eased on receipt of
193 cars of cash grain. The late
selling appeared to come mainly
from discouraged longs and
was not motivated by any imme
diate news.
Wheat closed U-lYt lower,
July $1.99-1.9914, corn was Vi
lower to higher, July $1.39-
, oats were Vi-v lower, July
81-Vs, rye was 1 to 1 lower
July $1.46, soybeans were
IVa-V lower, July $2.53-2.52
and active lard futures were un
changed to 3 cents lower, Sep
tember $10.82.
Hop Production
Drops 15 Percent
Portland, July 14 VP) Re
moval of low yield acreage from
production was blamed today
for a drop of 15 per cent in the
1949 Oregon hop crop.
The federal crop reporting
service expects the crop to total
13,320,000 pounds from 14,800
acres. Some 2,900 acres of low
yield yards were removed from
operation since last year.
California output is estimated
at 13,800,000 pounds, up 21 per
cent; Washington's at 21,930,-
000 pounds.
Red Spider Plagues
Independence Hops
. Independence, Ore., July 14
(U.R) Red spider, not usually
found in the river-bottom hop
yards in the Independence area
at this time of year, was report
ed "plentiful" today.
State Representative Dean
Walker, prominent Indepen
dence hop grower, said there is
no crisis yet, but there is a
heavier infestation of red spider
than we have seen in several
years."
Dusting for control of red spi
der has gotten under way. Deal
ers in dusting and spraying sup
plies said orders for hop dusts
were heavy this week.
British Troops
Unload Docks
London, July 14 VP) The la
bor government, with almost
unanimous approval from par
liament for its broad emergency
powers, sent a doubled force of
servicemen to work today on
the strikebound London docks.
Forty five hundred soldiers
and sailors were set to begin
unloading food ships tied up in
the spreading 18-day-old stop
page. Only 2300 were used yes
terday. The dock labor board said
14,289 ot London's 25,000 regis
tered dock workers were idle to
day. That was 3549 more than
when the emergency was pro
claimed by King George VI at I
the request of the cabinet Mon
day.
Work on 134 ships was held
up. Eight others were being un
loaded or loaded by under
manned crews. Almost 40 ships
still were being worked by full
aocK crews.
The house of commons last
night approved the emergency
powers assumed by the govern
ment, which has seized control
of the dock area along the
Thames river under regulations
which virtually mean martial
law. Commons approved the re
gulations by a vote of 412 to
four. One communist and three
members expelled from the la-
bcr party cast the only dissent
ing votes.
Portland Office
Building Burglarized
Portland, July 14 VP) Anoth
er large office building was ran
sacked by burglars today, just
a week after someone broke into
the Panama building and went
systematically through 24 of
fices there.
Today's victim was the Weath-
erly building, in east side Port
land. At least five offices
probably more were robbed.
The exact loss could not be de
termined immediately.

Says Robeson Seeks
To Be Black Stalin
Washington, July 14 (U.ljAn
admitted former member of the
communist party national com
mittee said today that Paul Rob
eson, famous Negro singer, has
been a "member of the com
munist party for many years."
"Paul Robeson has delusions
of grandeur," Manning Johnson,
Negro ex-communist, told the
house un-American activities
committee. "He is desirous of
becoming the black Stalin and
the communist party is en
couraging that."
Johnson told the committee
that he was a member of the
communist party up to 1940. He
is now an international repre
sentative of the A F L Retail
Clerks association and lives in
New York.
During his years as commu
nist membership, he said, he fre
quently met Paid Robeson in
party headquarters "going to or
coming from" meetings with
top communist leaders.
Scott fo Quit
As GOP Leader
Washington. July 14 (IP)
Senator Martin (R., Pa.) indi
cated today that Rep. Hugh
Scott, Jr., will step down as re
publican national chairman "if
we get assurance an outstand
ing man Will take his place."
Martin said, however, that he,
Scott and other Pennsylvanians
"are not going to be shoved
around" by those who want
someone else in the key GOP
post.
"There is no use talking about
Scott moving out until we are
sure that there is a top flight
man to succeed him," Martin
told a reporter.
But Martin added "it is a fair
conclusion" that talks about a
change have simmered down
mainly to a question of who
should succeed Scott, rather
than whether there should be a
new chairman.
"If we can get all the ele
ments united on a successor, that
will be the wise course to take,"
Martin declared.
Party leaders have been dis-l
cussing the matter here and
elsewhere for the last several
days. After a conference here
yesterday, those leaders said
they looked for no concrete de
velopment for about 10 days.
They said there still was no
agreement on a successor to
Scott.
Transit Strike
In New York
New York, July 14 VP) CIO
transit workers struck suddenly
today against all 21 lines of the
New York City Omnibus cor
poration. The lines carry an es
timated 925,000 passengers dai
iy.
The walkout was called by the
CIO Transport Workers union,
eight hours after 350 mainte
nance workers quit work at one
of the company garages in pro
test against the dismissal of four
employes.
The company termed the in
itial walkout unauthorized but
the big union quickly announc
ed that it would support the
strike.
At the same time. Michael J
Quill, president of TWU, said
that the stoppage would be ex
tended to the Fifth Avenue
Coach corporation at midnight
if the dispute with the omnibus
corporation is not settled by
then.
The two companies have joint
ownerships. The Fifth Avenue

Kline Opposed
Brannan's Plan
Washington, July 14 iP) The
president of the nation's largest
farm organization today ac
cused Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan of "throwing the farm
problem into the partisan politi
cal arena."
Allan B. Kline, head of the
American Farm Bureau federa
tion, called the Brannan pro
posal to let prices drop for the
benefit of consumers, with the
government subsidizing farmers,
"a new and untried concept."
Kline testified before a sen
ate agriculture subcommittee
which is holding hearings on the
Brannan farm plan.
"The cost of this program,
would be staggering," Kline?
said, adding:
"Here is the basis for real1
regimen t a t i o n. Furthermore,
there is no good reason why
the government should pay part
of the grocery bill of every citi
zen." Kline made a point of read
ing what Anderson, President
Truman and other top govern
mental economic and farm offi
cials had said in support of the
flexible-price support plan last
year.

Constant research at Lucky Strike's famous cigarette laboratory America's
largest and most completely equipped is devoted to giving you a finer cigarette!
THERE is no finer cigarette in the world today than
Lucky Strike. Here's why: Lucky Strike means fine
tobacco. And every step in the making of Luckies
from before this fine tobacco is bought until the finished
cigarette reaches you comes under the watchful eye
of the largest and most completely equipped cigarette
research laboratory in America.
For many years, the famous Lucky Strike labora
tory in Richmond, Virginia, has been a center of
cigarette science and technology. In this remarkable
building you can see a fascinating collection of scien
tific instruments microscopes, spectrophotometers,
balances, projectors, humidification chambers, and
many other complicated and costly machines.
Working with this array of scientific equipment are
more than 60 highly trained specialists chemists, biol
ogists, engineers, physicists. They work on tobacco, on
finished cigarettes, on paper, foil, cellophane and even
printing inks. For Lucky Strike scientists have for years
delved into cigarette research on an extensive scale.
Today, because of the miracle of modern science,
Lucky Strike is a finer cigarette.
.y.t
Testing tobacco. Samples from every tobacco-growing area
are analyzed before and after purchase. These extensive scien
tific analyses, along with the expert judgment of Lucky Strike
buyers, assure you that the tobacco in Luckiea is fine, light
and mild. No wonder Luckies are a finer cigarette.
Luckies stay fresh. After Lucky Strike ciga
rettes have been packaged, they must be tightly
sealed to remain fresh Here you see the cello
phane seal being tested for air-tightness. Such in
struments are in constant use at every plant.
