World Series Squared
Preacher Roe Allows
Only 6 Hits
Yankee Stadium, New York,
Oct. 6 (P) Preacher Roe, a gan
gling bag of bones from Arkan
sas, shut out the New York Yan
kees with six hits today as
. trooklyn squared the 46th World
Series, at one game each with a
1-0 victory over Vic Raschi,
while 70,053 fans watched in
comparative silence.
The second straight 1-0 game
was a new experience for the
series. Never before had two
1-0 games been thrown in the
same season, let alone in suc
cission. Brooklyn scored its lone run
off Raschi in the second inning
and Roe held tight as the Yanks
staged a threat in each of the
last three innings.
Robinson 2-Bagger
Jackie Robinson's double to
the left field corner, his first hit
of the series, started the Dodg
ers on their way in the second.
When Gerry Coleman fell aft
er racing back of first to snare
Gene Hermanski's foul pop,
Robby tagged up and ran safely
to third. He held while Billy
Johnson threw out Mar" Rack
ley. Gil Hodges then slammed
the game-winner, a single to left,
scoring Robinson. When Johnny
Lindell fumbled the ball for an
error, Gil went to second. The
single was the ball game, Robin
son scoring easily and LindcH's
error didn't make too much dif
ference because Hodges was left
on second.
Roe's Superb Pitching
Roe, the 31-year-old Dodger
"stopper" from Hardy. Ark.,
turned In a superb effort al
though he was in danger through
the late stages.
Each time he had all he need
ed to pull out of a jam.
Never walking a single man.
Roe struck out three in his
first series appearance. The
Yanks never got more than one
hit an inning and only one

McKay Flies to
Arizona Ranch
Gov, Douglas McKay flew to
Arizona today for a brief vaca
tion and until his return four
days from now. Coos Bay will
be in effect the capital of Ore
con. William E. Walsh, president
of the Oregon senate, will be
governor while McKay is absent
from the state and said he would
handle his temporary duties as
chief executive from his offices
in Coos Bay.
McKay will spend most of his
Arizona stay at a ranch near
Wickenburg where he will be
Joined by Gov. Dan E. Garvey
of Arizona. He expects to con
fer with Gov. Garvey and with
members of the Arizona legis
lature at the ranch Friday after-
' noon and night.
Gov. McKay left Salem this
morning only after receiving as
surance that "everything was
quiet at The Dalles," scene of
an attempt to unload a barge of
pineapple from Hawaii last
week. State police were called
to the upper Columbia river city
after violence broke out along
the dock.
The governor also checked
with the state forestry depart
ment and was advised that moiS'
ture conditions in Oregon forests
were such that the presence of
hordes of deer hunters in the
woods no longer constituted a
serious fire hazard.
ILWA Refuses to
Handle Pineapples
San Francisco. Oct. 6 Wl
West coast longshoremen will
not handle canned pineapple
from a barge tied up at The
Dalles. Ore., ever, after the
Hawaiian dock strike is settled
International Longshoremen's
nd Warehousemen's union
spokesmen said today the only
way the cargo could ever be
handled on the west coast was
for the Hawaiian Pineapple
company to send the barge back
to the islands. There the cargo
would have to be transhipped by
CIO union labor to a Matson
Navigation company freighter
They said the tinned fruit
loaded by non-union stevedores
In the islands would be black
listed until the condition were
met even though it would treble
the cost of" the cargo.
Bridges Claims
Settlement of
Hawaiian Strike
Employers Confirm
Announcement in 159
Days Walkout
Honolulu, T. II.. Oct. 6 U.R)
An employer spokesman today
confirmed an announcement by
union chief Harry Bridges that
a settlement has been reached
in the 159-day-old Hawaii dock
strike.
Bridges announced, the settle
ment was based on an immediate
14-cent an hour increase to the
2,000 striking members of the
CIO International Longshore
men's and warehousemen's un
ion plus an additional seven-cent
an hour boost effective next
February 28.
This would bring longshore
wages in the islands to $1.54 an
hour compared to $1.82 paid
longshoremen on the U.S. main
land. The union originally de
manded a boost of 32 cents an
hour.
A settlement had been ru
mored ever since October 1
when Bridges, president of the
CIO Longshoremen's and Ware
housemen s union, flew to the
islands from San Francisco with
the announced intentions of
ending the strike.

Husband Finds
Amnesia Victim
A dazed, fashionably dressed
redhead left Salem Wednesday
night with a man she considered
a stranger despite the fact that
he was her husband and that
she carried his picture as proof
of that fact.
The young woman, an amne
sia victim, had found herself
wandering on the streets of Sa
lem and couldn't remember any
facts of her life. Discovering a
rosary in her pocket, she went
to St. Joseph's church.
There, a worker for Catholic
Charities was called who took
her to police.
A picture of a man, bearing
the name of William C. Black
well, a ring, engraved with the
words "Bill to Suzan" and a stub
from a bus passage to Salem
were found in her possession at
police headquarters.
A tag in her coat contributed
the fact that her apparel had
been cleaned in Portland. A tele
phone call to the College clean
ers there resulted in confirming
her description as that of Mrs.
Suzan Blackwell.
Her husband was summoned
to Salem, but she failed to rec
ognize him. After persuasion,
however, she left for her Port
land home at 416 NE Pacific
street. They had been married
for two years.
During her interrogation by
police she could remember only
of being nearly run down by a tions ' were out to defeat his no

County to Maintain
Old Hall's Camp Road
By DON UPJOHN
County Commissioners Roy Rice and Ed Rogers headed up to
Detroit Tuesday to get arrangements under way for mainten
ance of the old road from Detroit to Halls camp to care for 20
school children who otherwise might be stuck in the mud.
The county court which held
road earlier in .the year at re
quest of army engineers finds
itself with Its maintenance in
its lap again, probably up to
next July when the government
will take over the whole area.
The court had proceeded with
vacation plans last summer up
to the point of posting notices
when the engineers asked that it
desist. They said if the road
were vacated it would cause all
of the rightofway to revert to
the former owners and give the
government a complex job of
dealing with them buying up the
land for dam purposes.
The county court, in response
to this plea, agreed to abandon
vacation proceedings but it was
with the understanding the en
gineers or the state would main
tain the old road for what uses
they wished to put it. However
since that time no maintenance
work has been done and the
public is beginning to clamor.

Truman Seeking
Support for Olds
Washington, Oct. 6 W) Pres
ident Truman said today that he
had asked democratic Chairman
William M. Boyle, Jr., to stir up
support among state leaders for
confirmation of Leland Olds on
the federal power commission.
He told a news conference
that this was a very proper thing
to do. He said he has to have
party discipline if he is to tran
sact the business of government
anH carry out the party platform.
A senate committee yesterday
reported adversely on Olds' nom
ination for a third term despite
the president's letter to the wj.

some of the logs going to Idan

Court members, however, made
it plain that the maintenance
work will be done for the chil
dren and not for the loggers.
County Judge Murphy said if
the county maintains the road it
will begin to require permits
from the loggers operating on it.
"Then," he said, "if It develops
the logging operations cost too
much to be commensurate with
what they contribute we'll sim

Rivals Seeking
Queuilles Job
Paris, Oct. 8 Wl President
Vincent Auriol accepted today
the resignation of Premier Hen
ri Queuille, and the extreme
right and left immediately be
gan clamoring for a return to
Dower. ;
Queuille offered hlsVresigna-
tion yesterday after a bitter cab-
inet deadlock on the wage-price
issue, and Auriol was unable to
persuade the radical socialist
(conservative) leader to recon
sider. The communists and the fol
lowers of Gen. Charles de Gaulle
on the extreme right had been
excluded from Queuille's coali
tion, which had managed to
give France some political sta
bility by remaining in office a
year and 25 days, longer than
any other post war French cab
inet. The socialist president began
consultations with political lead
ers after Queuille refused to
bring his cabinet quarrel before
parliament for an airing.
Queuille quit because he op
posed demands for a general
wage boost made by the social
ists,, who were one of the main
parties in his coalition cabinet.
Communist and non-commu
nist unions have demanded wage
boosts to offset rising prices ex
pected from devaluation of the
franc.
Labor-Farmer
1950 Alliance
St. Paul, Oct. 6 iP) American
Federation of Labor officials to
day claimed success in cementing
tabor-farmer political alliances
for a joint drive in the 1950 con
gressional elections.
They said they have worked
out deals with farm groups In
various sections of the country to
cooperate "in electing our friends
and defeating our enemies" in
next year's important campaigns
George Meany, AFL secretary-
treasurer, told the Federation's
annual convention that "in many
cases the problem of making our
influence felt in predominantly
rural districts has been solved by
working out formal and informal
alliances with farm groups."
Joseph D. Keenan, director of
the AFL's labor league for po
litical education, in winning con
vention endorsement of a multi-
million dollar political war
chest, said:
"There is one thing we have
learned in our experience in the
political arena. The enemies of:
labor are also the enemies of the
farmer. Since our enemies are
in common, the Individual farm
er and the city worker have ev
erything to gain through mutual,
political action as voters."
Keenan told newsmen the AFL
political league has worked on
cooperative political arrange
ments with groups belonging to
the slender five foot, nine Inch
convict vowed as he completed
his story of his flight from pris-
on. "You can just imagine what
it's like. Like playing hide and
seek as a kid. Only it's a lot
more serious."
Perkins, a 24-year-old Silver-
ton youth convicted of rape and
sodomy who was sentenced to
two 20-year terms to be served
consecutively, began his story
with his escape on September
22. His freedom ended Wednes
day night when he telephoned
from his parents' home in Sil
ver ton to the prison.
He told how he, ,Earl R. Rails-
back and Leo G. Williams had
slipped under the prison wall
through a dry flume after using
tools made available in their con
struction work at the peniten
tiary.
Perkins said the trio headed
for the railroad tracks which
pass the prison and took out to
the east.
'When we got to Lancaster
drive, we split up. The other
two went on across, but I saw
car and thought it was the
police, so I waited. I stayed in
the ditch near the railroad until
night," Perkins said as he rub
bed the stubble of two week's
growth of beard.

we, in concert with many other

come. "It is my belief that we shall
be successful in these efforts to
achieve international under

Columbia Bill
Fails to Get OK
Washington, Oct. 6 UP) The
senate public works committee
refused today to authorize the
$1,000,000,000 program of army
engineers and the reclamation
bureau for the Columbia river
basin.
But it added $25,000,000 worth
of the projects in the coordin
ated program to an omnibus bill
which it approved. This bill
would authorize flood control
and navigation projects esti
mated to cost $1,564,228,650.
The committee's rejection of
the full coordinated program
was described by Senator Cain
(R., Wash.) as "a sacrifice by
the administration on the altar
of a valley authority."
President Truman has recom
mended to congress the creation
of a Columbia valley administra
tion to develop that Pacific
northwest basin.
The Pacific northwest has
been betrayed," Cain asserted,
and the famed reclamation bu
reau-army engineering plan fur
orderly development of the Col
umbia, has been thrown over

titious and underhanded politi
cal maneuvers conducted by any
administration in the recent his

yet reached the point for his in
tervention. He made the statement at a
news conference. Minutes earli
er John L. Lewis accepted an in
vitation to attend a government-
sponsored peace parley on the
coal strike tomorrow.
The mediation talks were call
ed by Conciliation Director Cy
rus Ching, who said the coal
situation is approaching a crisis.
Mr. Truman said warning of
government officials that the
coal and steel stoppages will
hurt the domestic economy were
well timed.
Operators Accept
The coal operators accepted
Ching's invitation to tomorrow's
conference before Lewis acted.
The United Mine Workers
chief, in characteristic fashion.
sent Ching a two-word telegram
from White Sulphur Springs, W.
Va., where negotiations on the
dispute are being held:
"Will attend."
The mines have been shut
down since September 19 in
what Lewis chose to regard as a
"spontaneous" protest against
the suspension of old age pen
sions and welfare benefits from
his fast-vanishing welfare fund.
Kaiser Accepts
The CIO United Steel Workers
made peace with Henry J. Kais
er but spread their walkout to
two more plants today.
And as the nationwide steel
shutdown over pensions reached
the sixth day, the federal gov
ernment still ignoring Philip
Murray's battle with big steel
announced it would try to set

The ranks of 500,000 striking
steelworkers were Joined last

the Acme Steel company near

Atlantic is a basic steel plant
which also does some manufac
turing while Acme's Riverdale
plant is primarily a fabricator.
Despite these developments
there are no signs of an early
peace in the double-barreled

Sporadic violence marks the
coal strike. A few thousand non
union miners continue digging
with protection of heavily arm
ed guards and police.
Protest Note
Sent to Russia
Washington, Oct. 6 VP) Th
United States sent a strongly
worded note to Russia today pro
testing the "shocking" mistreat
ment of American who stray into
the Soviet zone of Germany.
"This treatment the United
States government finds to be
in shocking contravention to the
first elementary standards of in
ternational decency," the note
said.
At the same time the United
States. through Ambassador
Kirk in Moscow, notified the
Russian foreign office that "it
expects that those Soviet offi
cials who are responsible for
these acts will be punished."
The American note referred
specifically to the case of the two
American college students who
"inadvertently and innocently"
entered the Russian zone while
bicycling and who are detained
for eight weeks.
It also cited the case of Pvt.
John J. Sinkowicz. an American
soldier, who escaped Sept. 16
from a prison in the Soviet sec

imprisonment. The note said he
was held under "brutal and un
