Murray Raps
Steel Insults'
New York, Aug. 23 fP) Philip
Murray, president of the CIO
Steelworkers union, declared to
day that statements of steel in
dustry executives before a presi
dential fact-finding board were
"an insult to the President of the
United States."
Murray, beginning the union
rebuttal to the steel companies'
presentation, devoted his open
ing statement to an answer to
Clarence B. Randall, president
of the Inland Steel Co. The union
seeks a 30 cents-an-hour pack
age, including pensions and in
surance benefits.
"Mr. Randall impugns the mo
tives of the president in estab
lishing the steel industry board,"
said Murray, who also is CIO
president.
"He charges the president with
taking 'extra-legal action' at my
request and implies that the
president did so because of 'poli
tical alliance' and obligation to
me. "Mr. Randall's statement in
this regard is an insult both to
the high office and the person of
the President of the United
States."
Murray added that "I cannot
of course presume to answer for
the President. I can say for my
self there is no truth or substance
in this statement."

The folks in the house thought
it was an earthquake.
It wasn't. It was only papa

W. S. Brown. 1840 North
Summer street, has an almost
new car a 1948 Kaiser-Fraser
sedan, no less. It's badly dam
aged. Worse damaged is the
Brown garage. And the dwell
ing bears scars.
Brown is a sober man. But his
experience driving cars is lim
ited. About 10 o'clock Monday
night he was attempting to drive
into his garage when the car
hit a lawn swing that was too
near the driveway.
The auto caromed and hit the
side of the house, then took a
lurch sideways and whammed
into a side wall of the garage.
That side of the garage col
lapsed and wedged the automo
bile beneath it. It's there now,
or was at last accounts.
One of the freakish things
about the accident was that a
timber of the garage punctured
the car at one of the headlights.
and penetrated almost to the
rear.
Stocks Decline
Up to 2 Points
New York, Aug. 23 UP)
Leading stocks dropped frac
tions to more than two points
today in the largest market de
cline in more than two months.
Final prices were at the lows
for the day in most cases.
Only meager offerings of
stock were enough to force the
market lower.
Weakness became more pro
nounced in late dealings when
lots of only 100 shares or so ap
peared on tiie ticker tape at sue
cessivcly lower prices.
Activity was no more than
routine, with turnover in the
neighborhood of B00.000 shares
for the full session.
The current decline started
Friday after the market had
climbed to the high point of its
summer rally and within easy
distance of the 1940 peak.
India recently sent a mission
to Argentina lo increase com
mercial relations between the
two countries.

Dixiecrats on
Trial for Purge
Washington, Aug. 23 fl
States' rights members of the
democratic national committee
went on trial at a party "court"
today on charges of desertion in
last year's political campaign.
Southerners in congress fully
expect the democratic family
row to wind up in a verbal
spanking, to be publicly admin
istered to states' righters tomor
row by the national committee.
The committee is getting to
gether to pick a new chairman
But before it gets around to
that, backers of President Tru
man want to give the boot to
national committeemen and wo
men who refused to support him
in last year's campaign. A cre
dentials committee will pass
judgment on that.
The national committee meet
ing is the first since the 1948
democratic convention which
brought on:
A scrap over civil rights, a
spectacular walkout by some
Dixie delegations, and election
victories for the rebellious
states' -ighters in Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana and South
Carolina.
These four states went for
Oov. Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina, the states' rights pres
idential candidate.
Now it is up to the credentials
committee to recommend reten
tion or expulsion of the national
committee members from those
stales. The national committee
Tarem Tells of
Baltic Nations
Though Latvia, Lithuania and
Estonia did not even participate
in World War II, almost one out
of every three persons living in
those countries were casualties,
Ardo Tarem, an Estonian now
serving as piiysical education in
structor at the Salem YMCA,
told members of the Salem Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce in
their regular Tuesday noon meet
ing at the Golden Pheasant res
taurant. The Baltic slates, comprised
of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia,
are situated between Russia and
Germany, and thus became the
center of much battle action dur
ing the war, Tarem explained
It was in the fighting between
the Russians and Germany that
the casualties among the Baltic
slate nations occurred.
When the Russians marched
through the Baltic slates in their
thrust toward Germany, the
Germans drove them back by
bombing the Baltic countries.
Then when the Germans occu
pied the Baltic states, the Rus
sians did the bombing. Conse
quently, it was the innocent
Baltic states which suffered the
most damage, Tarem said.
Many cities were completely
devastated by the bombings.
Tarem said, and the people of
those countries have been work
ing constantly since the termina
tlon of the war in an all-out ef
fort to rebuild the cities.
In addition to building up the
ruined buildings, bridges, etc.,
the Baltic people re also slow
ly but surely regaining their
former independent govern
ments, Tarem reports.
Baltic youth were recently
sent out to all corners of the
world to gain technical equip
ment and knowledge from other
countries, Tarem said. It is
through use of this equipment
and knowledge that Latvia,
Lithuania and Estonia are grad
ually developing once more into
three of the most wealthy small
countries on Ihe globe.

Deadlock in
Hawaii Strike
Honolulu, Aug. 23 JP A led
eral mediator tried today to re
start often-stalled union-em
ployer negotiations to settle Ha
waii's 115-day dock strike.
Cyrus S. Ching. director of
the U.S. conciliation service,
supplied the impetus for the
new attempt to resume direct
peace talks. He suggested yes
terday the striking CIO Interna
tional Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's union and the
seven struck stevedoring firms
try again.
Mediator George Hillenbrand,
who has worked on the dispute
since before the strike started
May 1, was doing the spade-
work. He scheduled a morning
meeting with employers. He
said he planned a separate ses
sion with the ILWU strike com
mittee during the day.
'All I can do," Hillebrand
said, "is suggest they resume ne
gotiations again in line with the
suggestion by Director Ching. "
So far, he added, Ching had
given him no new specific pro
posal to present.
The latest negotiations were
broken off Friday., Both sides
had agreed before they started
to invite Ching to come here as
mediator if they made no prog

Navy Yard Cut
Portsmouth, N.H., Aug. 23 M")
The Portsmouth Herald said
today that Defense Secretary
Johnson will announce tomor
row a wholesale slash of civi
lian workers in the nation's ma
jor naval shipyards.
But, the Herald said, a "show
down fight" to delay both John
son's announcement and the pro
posed cutbacks is being carried
on by senators and congressmen
from seven states which would
be hit.
The newspaper quoted an un
named reliable source in Wash
ington as saying the defense sec
retary's announcement content
plated total elimination of the
two yards and "drastic" curtail
ments in personnel and opera
tions at others, Including Ports
mouth.
Lack of funds was given as
the reason for the job slashes.
The. Herald listed these sen
ators as joining in the drive to
head off the announcement and
the plan: Bridges and Tobey of
New Hampshire, Brewster and
Smith of Maine, Saltonstall and
Lodge of Massachusetts, May
bank and Johnston of South
Carolina, Nolan and Downey of
California, Martin and Meyers
of Pennsylvania, Ives and Dulles
of New York.

Find Dynamite
In Cohen's Home
Los Angeles, Aug. 23 VP)
U.S. Attorney James M. Carter
said today that enough dynamite
was found under the home of
Gambler Mickey Cohen several
months ago to blow it to bits.
Carter told reporters the mat
ter was kept secret until today
when it was decided that no fed
eral offense was involved.
The federal official said he
has turned over details of the
bomb plot to District Attorney
William E. Simpson. Carter said
he was informed by explosive
experts that the "type found un
der Cohen's house was a 'bun-
galore torpedo' used by army
men to blow up barbed wire
barricades and entanglements."
'We traced the dynamite to
San Francisco," said Carter.
Finding no federal offense was
involved, we are turning the
matter over to the district at
torney." Carter said the dynamite was
discovered after Neddie Herbert,
Cohen henchman who was
wounded fatally in an ambush
July 20, found a fuse protruding
from a vent under Cohen s bed
room. Carter did not give the date
when the dynamite was found.
Another development in the
Cohen case came as the district
attorney's office reported that
Chief of Police William A. Wor-
ton complained that he was be
ing shadowed by "mysterious fi
gures." ,
Fear 2 Host in
Canadian Crash
Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 23 W)
The royal Canadian air force
announced today a search plane
has found the wreckage of a
two-engined plane reported miss
ing in northern Manitoba with
21 persons aboard since Sunday.
The announcement said there
was "no sign of life" around the
craft which had crashed and
burned 250 miles northeast of
Winnipeg. The plane took off
from Churchill, on Hudson Bay
for Winnipeg after an Arctic
circle swing to replace outpost
weather bureau personnel and
to bring sick Eskimos here for
hospitalization.
The RCAF announcement said
a paratroop-rescue team is pro
ceeding to the scene of the
crash, using three amphibious
planes.
Aboard the craft were seven
crew members, eight sick Eski
mos, a Canadian press reporter,
four meterological department
men and a woman physiotherap
ist. First reports placed 20 aboard
the plane but officials said today
another Eskimo was put aboard j

place to move the house from
parking lot.
Mrs. Edna Birnbaum, an as
sistant supervisor of nurses at a
hospital, won- the house. She
and her husband. Alfred, 30, had
visions of a better life.
But their joy soon was ruined
by the prospects of the costs of
collapsing, moving, re-erecting
and connecting the house, plus
oarking lot fees of $50 a day
during the delay, and the in
come tax liability.
The Birnbaums offered un
successfully to give the house
back to the American women's
voluntary services for S3. 000.
Then the "lucky" couple tried
to sell the house, but prospec
tive purchasers shied away
when they learned the costs
ahead.
Birnbaum s brother, Rudolph,
a lawyer, was called on for
advice. He ran into a bunch of
headaches, and finally made the
50-cent offer last night.
The parking lot owner, Jerome
Voletsky, said he had arranged
to have the building dismantled
today and moved at his own ex
pense into storage at the Plain

Tito Willing to
Settle Issues
Belgrade, Aug. 23 (P) Yugo
slavia expressed willingness to
night to reach a settlement with
Russia on "all disputed ques
tions" between the two feuding
tm wiiiina in nH ihp hit-
t(,r fil!nt with the Kremlin.
At m. v..oMll.
The note was the first cooling
word in a war of words that
had become white hot in the
past two weeks. It was the ev-
. ; u un
,enth note in an exchange be
tween Belgrade and Moscow.
Yugoslavia formerly express
ed her "readiness to approach
the solution of all disputed ques
tions with the USSR in accord
ance with and in the spirit of the
international obligations under
taken by both governments."
There was no immediate indi
cation of what Moscow's reaction
would be to this extension of
the olive branch. Tito has-been
at odds with the Kremlin for 14
months.
The Moscow-directed comin-
form (communist international
information bureau) expelled
Tito and his Yugoslav commun
ists lor nationalistic deviations
from what Russian leaders re
gard as orthodox communism.
The Russians have called on the
Yugoslavs to overthrow Tito if
he did not change his policy. Ti
to has maintained his position,
however.
