Portland, Ore., Sept. 24 U-R
Sheriff Mike Elliott, facing a re

today served notice that he will
fight to the end against "politi
cal connivers" who, he charged,
were seeking his removal from
office for selfish reasons.
The recall committee headed
by Adm. Thomas L. Gatch (re

a total of 36,215 petition signa
tures, more than enough to as
sure an election after Oct. 15.
Elliott Issued a statement
through his new anti-recall Man
ager Richard W. Brown, warning
that he would give his opponents
"a fight which will make them
know they have something on
their hands."
Elliott now has a five-day pe
riod allotted by law In which he
may resign.
"Of course I'll not resign
aid Elliott.
"I was elected In a regular
American election. No person
has ever been recalled to my
knowledge without real cause,
and yet they have tried every
means fair and foul to get me
out.

Opposition to Elliott jelled
shortly after the November elec

Elliott has falsified his qualifica

U.S. Still Leads
In Atom Bombs
Washington, Sept 24 (PI The
United States still holds a vast
lead over Russia in the field of
atomic weapons and in all
probability will never lose it,
top American officials said to
day. They'll never catch up with
Truman s disclosure yesterday
that there has been an atomic
explosion in Russia.
While it was calmly worded.
the president's statement itself
exploded throughout the west

How did the news reach this

numerous agencies were Involv

But whether it involved spies,

Plan Campaign
For Farm Crops
Sioux City, la., Sept. 24 (IP)
National republican leaders ex
pressed confidence today that
direct government farm subsi
dies offer them an issue with
which to win the midwest farm
vote from the democrats.
This confidence was voiced by
Senator Mundt of South Dakota
and Rep. Hope of Kansas after
listening to a parade of farmer
speakers before the GOP's two
day farm conference. The meet
ing ends today.
The conference was called to
get an idea of what kind of
farm program the republicans
should sponsor if they wished to
stage a midwestern victory
march in next year's congres
sional elections.
Almost without exception,
farmers who appeared before a
committee of congressmen and
representatives of the party's
national committee said they
were against what they various
ly described as government
"handouts," "doles," and
"checks" as substitutes for a
fair market price.
Several farmer spokesmen
advocated a self-financing pro
gram under which they them
selves would foot the bill for
selling surpluses abroad and to
low-income groups at home at
cut-rate prices.
CIO -Red Split
Due in October
Washington, Sept. 24 (IP) Top
CIO leaders here indicated today
they expect the split between
anti-communist and pro-com
munist groups within the CIO
to erupt in convention next
month. A third labor federation
may be created as a result, they
speculated.
I he showdown may come
when the CIO meeting is held
in Cleveland the last week of
October.
The pro-communist groups,
such as those leading the United
Electrical Workers, now are for
cing the issue in the struggle
which has raged in CIO ranks
for more than two years.
The UEW claims more than a
half million members. It has
laid down certain demands to
be made on CIO President Philip
Murray, giving Murray little
choice but to bring matters to a
head.
The UEW has threatened to cut
off payment of an eight cents
per person levy to the CIO ex
cept under certain conditions.
The conditions were forwarded
to the CIO this week, following
re-election of UEW officers in
convention at Cleveland.
Murray now must lead a fight
to kick them out or yield to
the USW demand that CIO offi
cers who have criticized UEW
leadership be ousted and silenc
ed.
The CIO convention, at which
the fight is certain to explode
into noisy, head-on clash, begins
October 31 in Cleveland. The is
sues will be cleared at the ex
ecutive board meeting starting
October 26.

Book of Problems Faced
By U. S. Military Chiefs
Fort Benning, Ga., Sept. 24
of a nuclear fission explosion hit
book full of problems, led by this:
Is Soviet Russia currently capable of delivering atom bombs
on American targets?
So far as they know, the big
gest Russian bomber is a copy
of early models of the U. S. air
force's B-29 Superfortress. That
Russian version is believed in
capable of striking targets in the
continental U. S. from Russian
soil and returning. However, no
responsible military man has
ever said that fanatic Russian
airmen might not be willing to
make a one-way run.
By doing that they could
reach some major American in
dustrial centers.
A second possibility, and one
which military men long con
templated grimly, is the possi
bility of seizure of American
airfields in Alaska which would
place the northwest Pacific coast
and possibly cities in the north
central area within reach of two-
way missions.
It is reasonable to assume this
recasting of the picture may
place a new premium on far
north Polar defenses, including
a speedup in building an air
craft warning system across the
Arctic jjermeter of the North
American continent.
For the momept, there seems
to be no plans to build up man

Roseburg Trial
Roseburg, Sept. 24 (PI Out
come of an experimental "truth
serum" test for Victoria San
ders, convicted of manslaughter
last week in the death of Ralph
Mojonnier in their home near
Drain almost two years ago, re
mained shrouded in official
secrecy today, when her attor
neys refused comment.
Victoria underwent a two
hour experimental test of the
combined drugs, sodium amytal
and benzedrine, Friday eve
ning. The test was conducted
at the request of her defense
counsel, Paul E. Geddes, before
she receives sentence 'on her
manslaughter conviction.
Dr. Abbot T. Simmons and Dr.
John L. Haskins, both of the
Roseburg veterans hospital, ad
ministered the drug! and con
ducted the examination. Two
physicians representing the
state were Dr. Norman David,
University of Oregon Medical
school, and Dr. Frank R. Menne,
Portland pathologist.
Dr. David said, in his opin
ion, Victoria was not sufficient
ly under the effects of the drugs
to "give proper evidence In a
case of alleged murder. It was
quite evident to me," he added,
'that she had full possession of
her mental faculties. If any
thing, she was a bit garrulous.'"

Still Forward
New York, Sept. 24 P) Busi

ound a rising tide of unfavor
able developments at home and
abroad this week to maintain
a strong forward stride. In some
lines activity was at the high
est point since early last spring
before the mild summer reces
sion set in.
Taking no notice of the deep
ening labor crisis except where
forced to do so, industrial pro
duction made favorable compar
ison with the best weeks of the
budding fall upswing. The so
called strong lines of activity
automobiles, steel and construc
tion again paved the way for
the overall performance.
Retail trade was a bit spotty
because of a let-down in con
sumer spending In areas having
special problems such as the
widespread idleness in the coal
fields. But heavy forward buy
ing for inventory accumulation
more than made up for the
slack at the corner grocery
store. Prices in a long line of
consumer goods duplicated the
firmness that has been appar
ent in recent weeks.
