Montana Fire
Under Control
Helena, Mont., Aug. 9 W)
Man was winning today his fight
against the torrent of fire that
consumed 13 fellow humans and
devastated 6,000 woodland acres.
The wild flames were being
corralled by 500 toiling men,
dog tired and grimy after a four
day struggle. A. D. Moir, Helena
national forest supervisor, said
the blaze should be 100 per cent
controlled by tomorrow.
Final control can not be as
sured until more mop-up work
is done, Moir said.
A final three miles of fireline
will be built today, Moir said.
Mop-up work, in this case one
of the toughest phases of a weary
battle, began last night as crews
worked portions of the fire's ex
treme edges.
The fatigued Montana crews
pressed doggedly toward control
of the Gates of the Mountains
blaze in the spectacular primi
tive area a scant 25 miles north
east of Helena.
A regional forest service offi
cial said that aside from the
tragic loss of life, the Gates of
the Mountains fire is "not con
sidered a bad forest fire."

Benes Talks on
Chinese Crisis
Dr. Bohus Benes, visiting po
litical science professor at Wil
lamette universi'y, urged mem
bers of the Salem Junior Cham
ber of Commerce Tuesday to
take an active interest in inter
national affairs.
He explained that Salem, the
state and the nation needed to
become more "international
minded" to be able to fully as
sume the duties of world leader
ship. He pointed out that the
United States had assumed that
leadership with the North At
lantic pact.
As a failure resulting from
inability to understand interna
tional problems, Benes cited
American withdrawal from
China. He pointed out that
American diplomats had "failed
miserably" in China because this
nation "bet on the wrong horse"
a few years ago.
He charged that our with
drawal, however, was based up
on an inability to see any solu
tion to the problem there.
Estonian Tells
Of Invasions
When German troops first
marched into the Baltic states,
then occupied by Russia, the
Baltic people greeted them with
cheers. This was revealed by
Ardo Tarcm, an Estonian D. P.
who spoke to a meeting of the
Salem Kiwanis club at the Mar
ion hotel Tuesday noon.
Tarem explained that the
Russians had gained control of
the Baltic countries through
force, overthrowing their
churches, factories, etc., and had
mobilized the Baltic youth.
So when the Germans Invaded
the Baltic states, the natives
'here welcomed them with open
arms, thinking that the Ger
mans had come to fight the Rus
sians and free the Baltics. That
was the promise of the German
government, Tarem said.
Soon the Baltic people real
ized that the German regime
had a different purpose in mind,
and the Baltic states found
themselves in the midst of a bat
tle between the Germans and
Russians, Tarem said.
The speaker related that in
stead of fighting off the Rus
sians, the Germans captured the
Russian territory in that sector.
and took with it the control of
the Baltic states.
Tarem recently came to the
United States as a displaced
YMCA secretary. He is now
serving as physical education in
structor at the local "Y."

MacArthur Reported
Favoring Pacific Pact
Tokyo, Aug. 9 U.B) Gen.
Douglas MacArthur was report
ed today to be in favor of a Pa

when he returns to the United
States, as has been suggested
by Sen. William Knowland, R.
Cal.
In the meantime, the source
said merely that the general had
read the joint call of Generalis

for a Pacific pact "with great in

In Damascus

the Palestine war confessed he
and two friends threw hand
grenades into the Damascus
synagogue Friday, President
Husny Zain announced today.
The attack killed 12 Jews and
wounded 20 to 30 others.
Zaim said all three men are
in prison "and will be judged
and condemned to death is the
evidence so indicates."
"Syria will have no unsolved
Bernadotte cases," he said, re
ferring to the assassination of
Count Folke Bernadotte, the U.
N. Palestine mediator, in Jeru
salem last September.
Ziam said sufficient forces
have been sent into the Jewish
quarter of the city to protect the
18,000 jews.
Lausanne, Switzerland, Aug. 9
(Pj The United Nations concili
ation commission for Palestine
transmitted to the Syrian dele
gation here today a protest by

Man Cause of
Most of Fires
Man-caused fires still are re
sponsible for the major damage
to Oregon's forests, according to
State Forester N. S. Rogers, who
pointed out that last season the
total number of fires up to
August 1, 1948 was 241 with
only 95 of these fires caused by
lightning.
This year with less rainfall
and drier conditions the fires up
to August 1, 1949, totaled 577.
Of this number lightning was re
sponsible for only 83. The re
maining 494 were caused by
man.
Pointing out that just 16 years
ago this week the fire that raged
through Tillamook county de-
i .royed one of the largest remain-
ng stands of merchantable tim
ber in Oregon, Rogers urged that
care be continually exercised in
the woods to decrease man-caus
ed fires.
He also reminded that the re
cent rains that fell in the Willa
mette valley did not lessen the
fire danger in the higher Cas
cade mountains and eastern Ore
gon, saying that the .18 of an
inch of rain was not enough at
this time of the year to wet
down the woods.

No Influence
For B-36 Orders
Washington, Aug. 9 (U.R)
Robert A. Lovett, wartime assist
ant secretary of war for air,
told congress today there was
"absolutely" no evidence of po
litical influence behind original
orders for the B-36 superbomber
in 1941.
Lovett was the first witness
before the house armed services
committee's investigation of the
mammoth strategic bomber. The
inquiry stemmed from reports of
politics and connivance repeated
in the house by Rep. James E.
Van Zandt, (R., Pa.).
Lovett, who became under
secretary of stale after the war,
told the committee that the peri
lous military situation facing
the U. S. after the fall of France
required development of a bomb
er capable of flying 10,000 miles
with a five-ton bomb load.
He said the decision to buy
two experimental planes, desig
nated B-36, from the Consolidat
ed Vultee Aircraft Corp. was
made by the war department in
August, 1941, after a study of
designs submitted by Consolidat-.
ed, Boeing Airplane Co., and
Douglas Aircraft Co.

Quirino Urges
Pacific Pact
Washington, Aug. 9 UP)
Philippine President Elpidio
Quirino today urged the United
States to support' a non-military
Pacific union once it has been
formed to help prevent Asia
from being lost to communism
"by default."
Quirino, here on an official
visit as guest of President Tru
man voiced his plea for U. S.
assistance against the "advanc
ing tide of communism" in a
speech before the senate.
He also spoke before the
house. The major part of his
senate speech was devoted to
the Pacific union idea in which
the Philippine chief executive
has. taken the initiative.
. The idea got rolling about
three weeks ago when Quirino
and Chinese nationalist leader
Chiang Kai-Shek discussed a
possible Pacific pact against
communism in the far east.
Chiang is now in southern Korea
talking over the same plan with
Korean President Syngm a n
Rhee.
Quirino's call for U. S. back
ing came only a few days after
the state department published a
"white paper in which it wrote
off the Chiang's nationalist gov
ernment as a failure.
When Quirino finished, Vice
President Barkley led a rising
ovation and called the speech
"magnificent."
