ONG Flies Food
To a Rancher
Oregon's Air National Guard
flew its first "airlift" operation
of this winter last Saturday aft
ernoon when a C-47 of the
Guard flew supplies to a snow
bound rancher near Clatskanie.
The air outfit, which a year
ago flew about eight operations
carrying feed for cattle in east
ern Oregon, on the Saturday
afternoon flight carried groc
eries and livestock feed.
Directing the pilots on the
flights were Red Cross officials,
who supplied the food and Capt.
Bob Fulton, manager of the St.
Helens airport. Feed for the
cattle included 11 bales of hay
and nine sacks of grain, collected
by ranchers near St. Helens and
wrapped by them for air drop
ping.
A neighbor of the rancher
when he had not been heard from
two weeks after telling the
neighbors that he had only
enough food to last two weeks,
contacted the Rod Cross and told
them of his plight.
Piloting the National Guard
plane was Brig. Gen. R. Robert
Dodson, commanding general of
the Air National Guard for ore
gon. Crew members with him
were Col. Gordon Doolittle, com
mander of the 123rd fighter
squadron, as co-pilot; Maj. Wal
do Timm, administrative officer
for the 142nd fighter group; Sgt.
Leroy Lee, engineer; and Sgts.
Jim Underdahl and Len Sutton,
who pushed the provisions from
the plane.
The Air Guard attempted the
"airlift" flight Friday afternoon
but were prevented in making it
by bad weather.
Crackdown on
Bad Check for Fine
The first crackdown under a
liberalized check cashing plan
at Salem police headquarters
was due for an airing Monday
in district court, but weather ap
parently kept the principal from
appearing.
Police reported that Daniel
Wendell Danielson of Spring
field had been arrested by Port
land officers on a warrant which
charged him with writing a
check with insufficient funds. He
posted $500 bail on the charge
and was due to appear in dis
trict court.
Police charged that Danielson
had issued them a check for a
traffic violation on an account
which was closed.
Only recently, Chief Clyde A.
Warren put Into effect a liber
alized plan for convenience of
persons who conduct financial
affairs by check.' Under the new
order, desk officers were in
structed to take checks for bail
provided proper identification
was offered.

Rotarian of the month for Feb
ruary. Gatch Gives
Views on W
Portland, Ore., Jan. 30 u.R
Retired Vice Admiral Thomas L.
Gatch, who commanded the bat
tleship South Dakota in World
Word II, today said Chesapeake
bay, where the U.S.S. Missouri
is mud-fast, has a restricted
channel that doesn't permit mis
takes,
"The channel Itself probably
doesn't allow more than a foot
of water below the Missouri's
keel," he said. "The buoys which
mark the edge of the channel
sometimes shift enough with the
tide that if you rely on them
alone you can get into trouble.
"You have to watch the Thim
ble shoal and Old Point Comfort
range lights, and sometimes in
heavy weather they are hard to
see."
Adm. Gatch complained thai
it was hard for a ship's captain
to forget mistakes. "The differ
ence between a battleship cap
tain and an aviator, is that when
the captain makes a mistake, he
lives and has to suffer for it,
he said.
Adm. Catch's South Dakota
ran aground on a South Pacific
coral reef during the war.
Gunmen Hold Woman
And Son as Hostages
Portland, Jan. 30 (P) Gun
men hold a woman and her son
as hostages to force a chain store
manager to drive from his home
to the store and open the strong
box Saturday night.
Police said Wesley K. Bailey
and his son, 14 were taken from
the home while one gunman re
mained with Mrs. Bailey.
The gunman held a revolver
muzzle to the body of the boy
while Bailey drove to the store
and opened the safe. He was
then forced to return to the
house, where the two gunmen
lined the family up along the
wall before fleeing. The tele
phone wires had been cut ear
lier.
March of Dimes Gets
Funeral Flower Costs
Because one of the last re
quests of Cliff L. Gardner, state
highway department employe
who died recently, was that
friends send money to the March
of Dimes rather than purchase
flowers, the March of Dimes
headquarters are $25 richer to
day.
Accompanying the personal
check of R. C. Barrio, Glcndnlc,
Calif., is this explanation for the
contribution. Barrie did not
otherwise identify himself.
Gardner's request previously
had resulted in receipt of a $10
check from the highway depart
ment employes in addition to
several individual checks from
employes of the department.

Legion Against
Draft Extension
, V'ashington, Jan. 30 VP) The
American Legion today came
out against President Truman's
proposal to continue the draft
law. Instead, the Legion advo
cated a program of universal
military training.
The Legion's position was out
lined to the house armed serv
ices committee by Miles D. Ken
nedy, director of its national
legislative commission. The com
mittec is considering Mr. Tru
man's request for a three-year
extension of the draft act be
yond next June.
Several other foes of keep
ing the draft law alive also ap
peared before the committee.
Kennedy said the Legion had
supported past peacetime draft
laws "as a temporary expe
dient," but "the value of select
ive service as a deterent to en
emy aggression has long since
passed."
"The potential strength of
the American nation can best
be organized through national
security training, and now is the
time for enactment of this pro
gram," he added.
Robert S. Tubbs, a member of
the Kent county, Mich., draft
board, also opposed extension
of selective service.
The Women's Christian Tem
perance union registered its op
position through Miss Elizabeth
A. Smart of Evanston, 111., who
said the draft is not necessary.
Ice Blamed for
Sinking Tug
Walla Walla, Wash., Jan. 30
(U.R) Flowing ice in the Colum
bia river was blamed today for
the sinking of the army engi
neers' tug Umatilla at its moor
ings near North McNary, Wash.,
yesterday.
Just after crossing the river,
the Umatilla sank slowly to the
bottom, leaving about half her
superstructure above water. A
six-car barge attached to the tug
remained afloat.
Until the Umatilla is refloat
ed, a lug operated by the dam
contractors will be used to trans
port McNary dam workers to
their jobs, Col. William Whip
ple, district engineer, said.

New Buildings
For Colleges
Portland, Jan. 30 VP) The
building committee of the state
board of higher education today
approved construction of a $1,-
500,000 science building at the
University of Oregon.
The committee also said the
structure, originally planned to
cost $300,000 more, would be
adapted to a new site on the
Oregon campus. It was to have
gone up on the west side of the
campus. It now is scheduled for
the northeast campus corner.
The $300,000 was lopped off
in an economy move that will
eliminate a brick exterior cut
out a few large classrooms and
combine some laboratories.
The committee approved fi
nal plans for this structure, a
$250,000 library at Oregon Col
lege of Education and a $200,-
000 library-museum at Eastern
Oregon College of Education.
It also decided on a tenta
tive location for the "upside-
down hospital" at the medical
school. That is a six-story struc
ture to be constructed on the
side of a deep ravine, resulting
in an entrance on the top floor.
It will be located south of the
present medical school in Port
land. The board has about $2,
000,000 available for the hos
pital. Plans have not yet been
drawn.

destroying the 12-room wooden
structure with a loss "in excess
of $100,000," according to school
officials. The building was to
have been occupied early next
month.
Supt. Howard R. Goold said
the blaze started when an oil
burning salamander, being used
to warm the building for work
men, was upset. The oil ran
through the halls, swiftly spread
ing the flames to other heaters
in the building. A workman. Pe
ter Olson, was cut by glass as

system put out of commission in
the early-morning accident.
The ship was pulled free 7'z
hours later by three Foss Launch

Red Charges on
Envoy 'Tripe'
Washington, Jan. 30 VP) The
state department said today an
American vice consul accused
by the Chinese communists of
"spying" has been unheard from
since Sept. 27. That was the day
he started a hazardous journey
out of China, under orders.
Press Officer Michael J. Mc
Dermott called the Red charges
"The usual tripe," He implied
in talking with newsmen, that
the vice consul, Douglas Mac
Kiernan of Stoughton, Mass.,
would have his hands full just
getting out.
MacKiernan was left behind to
close up the consulate in Tihwa,
capital of China s vast north
west border province of Sin
kiang, when Consul J Hall Pax
ton and . other Americans were
ordered out last August. The
Paxton group finally reached
India in October after an ard
uous trip on foot and horseback
across the Himalaya mountains
MacKiernan radioed on Sept.
27 that he was leaving, over the
same general route taken by the
Paxton party.
The only American left in
Tihwa, he was just ahead of
communist forces. i
The Chinese Red radio, heard
by the Associated Press in San
Francisco, pictured MacKiernan
as a hard-riding "s p y" who
sought to organize the bandits
of the Sinklang wilderness
against the communist advance.

March of Dimes
Marching On
Plagued by weather condi
tions that have been on the un
favorable side virtually all
through January, the "March of
Dimes" campaign Monday was
struggling to get back on some
semblance of a schedule.
Although the drive was slated
to end Tuesday night, Howard
Ragan, county chairman, has an
nounced that it will be continued
until mid-February at least. Ap
proximately $7000 has been real
ized through the various efforts
so far.
The talent show slated for
Monday night at Mt. Angel has
been postponed. When it will
be held has not been determined.
Mat Wagner is the chairman for
Mt. Angel activities.
In Portland, Dr. E. T. Hed
lund, state chairman said state
wide response for the campaign
has been almost up to par in
spite of the "most crippling
weather" he has experienced in
the past 12 years.
As for infantile paralysis. Ore
gon just missed epidemic inci
dence last year by a whisker.
The state's 19 cases per 100,000
placed it in 34th position in the
nation. Idaho ranked first with
a case rate of 28.7. California
was 27th with a 24.4 rate and
Washington was 30th with a rate
of 23.

Northwest Cold
Killing Off Fruit '
Wenatchee, Jan. 30 VP) Horti
tultural experts warned today
that the record cold of last night
may have killed off much of the
valley's soft fruit trees.
The thermometer at the tree
fruit experiment station here
last night went to 22 degrees
below zero. That is as low as it
will record. -
Fred Overley, superintendent,
said "generally 18 below zero
will kill peach, apricot, and
sweet cherry trees." If trees are
in good condition before the
cold they may survive, he said.
Overley pointed out that last
winter's cold damaged many val

be the last straw, he said.
