Interstate Bridge Probably Not Necessary for 10 Years Portland, Aug. 21 VP) A low-level span, parallel and near the Present Interstate bridge between Portland and Vancouver, Wash., probably will be necessary in 9 or 10 years. 11 That was the report yesterday of the Oregon highway com mission and the Washington department of highways in con eluding the present span was ad- .(Ojuate until about 1960.

Losses are estimated by grow ers in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The disease preys only on new hybrid bean FM65S which growers have been trying to raise because it matures early and has superior canning quali ties. Growers in other parts of Ore gon and Washington who have planted the FM65S have had no trouble. Only in Lane county is the puzzling disease a serious problem. Two Oregon State college sci entists, Frank P. McWhorter and William A. Frazier, are attempt ing to trace the disease s cause. They believe it is common bean mosaic and that it is spread from plant to plant by aphids, How the disease got started here is still a mystery. .The original seed came from the Ferry Morse Seed company in California. The two scientists say that common bean mosaic is usually seed borne. Most of the farmers who planted FM65S here also are growing regular Blue Lake beans. Crop prospects for the Blue Lakes are good, and they hope to make up part of their losses. THE TOWNE SHOP IN THE CAPITOL SHOPPING CENTER" THkOAT-t6.TtiROAT Turks Given Chance Again For Some More Infighting By FRANK H. BARTHOLOMEW With the Turks, in Korea, Aug. 21 U.R The Turks have had a chance lor some lnngming again. And they filled the apple orchard on the other side o the barbed wire with dead Chinese. "Throat to throat combat" was the way Capt. Reyfik Soykut described it to me. Some of the Chinese were shot, some bayoneted and some strangled by hand. The captain presented two Turkish troopers whom he had just finished interrogating. Be tween them, they had bayonet ted and strangled six Chinese in fantrymen. Capt. Reyflt Soykut is an in tellectual appearing bald man with steel rimmed glasses who comes from Kirsehir, Turkey. Not so these two troopers, Izzet Soylemez of the town of Bingol and Tahir Karatash of the town of Yozgad. Tney are fighters by instinct and they look it. ' The fight in the apple orch ard, a bloody contrast now to that peaceful grove south of Kaesong where the UN truce negotiators are quartered, de veloped when the Chinese at tempted an ambush on a Turk ish patrol. The Turks with 35 infantry men and four tanks had started out to take a lightly held hill too Dositlon for use as an artil lery observation post. The patrol went through the barbed wire forded a stream and crossed s road parallelling the river to approach the base .of the hill Meanwhile, the communists had overnight moved a strong force into the apple orchard in the flatland to the right of the base of the hill and hidden their riflemen in the trees.- . When the Chinese on the hill top opened their expected de fensive fire, the Chinese in the apple trees surprised the Turks with a blast of automatic rifle- fire from the flank. "The Chinese were firing at us with one hand and eating apples with the other," Lt. Wlad- imir, of Istanbul, told me. "Our men assumed that either the Chinese were half starved or else the apples were so good we ought to have them, so we called for more tanks to reduce the hilltop position and we fixed bayonets and entered the apple orchard on foot." The Chinese with little taste for "throat to throat" fighting attempted to flee. Those who The Towne Shop is headquar ters for all Gossard founda tions.

Some man aged to knock the Turks guns out of their hands by dropping from hidden foliage but many of these were strangled by hand. The Turks had their own cas ualties, too, and radioed for a helicopter to remove the wounded. 'A brave young American flyer landed his . helipcopter ngnt in the line of fire to re move our injured," Capt. Reyfit Soykut said. "Five were safely evacuated for treatment but one man bled to death while we waited transport for him." The hilltop now belongs to the UN while the unburied Chi nese remain in the death orch ard nearby. Progressives Plan To Revive Party Minneapolis, Aug. 21 (Pro gressive party leaders from 24 states went ahead today with plans to pump new life into their state organizations and to push peace candidates ' for every po litical office in 1952. Members of the party's nation al committee, who concluded a two-day meeting Sunday, empha sized the candidates need not necessarily be progressive party lor a genuine policy of peace. A party "statement of policy" on next fall's election declared an intention "to work for and do everything in our power to bring about the organization of an independent ticket, support ed by a coalition of all groups and individuals who stand for a genuine policy of peace."

A 10 to 15 acre blaze broke out Friday night on the Gilbert Eaton logging land in the upper Calapooia Within a few hours it had been brought under con trol by crews of fire patrol em ployes from Santiam Lumber company, Cascades Plywood and Gilbert-Eaton Logging com pany. The Linn County Fire Patrol had a pumper and eight men on the scene, Santiam Lumber had three pumpers, and Gilbert- Eaton placed two more at the blaze. The fire reportedly started from a cigarette or power saw. It is burning principally in cut over and slash areas, and if con trol can be maintained, it will do little harm. So far in 1951 there have been 40 fires in the area pro tected by the Linn patrol. Eight have covered a scope of over eight acres, the largest being a - blaze three months ago on Green mountain south of Foster.
