Newbry to Rule
Ike's Name Off Talks Appear
Korean Truce
Demo Ballot
Mahoney Threatens
Legal Action to Keep
It on for Primary
By JAMES D. OLSON
Secretary of State Earl T.
Newbry Monday indicated that
he would rule the name of Gen
eral Dwight D. Eisenhower off
the democratic ballot in the May
primaries, but said that a defi
nite decision would not be made
for several days.
s - Newbry pointed out that the
raregon law is clear in the case
of candidates entered in the pri
marics by petitions that the can
didate must be a member of the
same political party as that to
which the petitioners belong.
Democratic State Senator Tho
mas Mahoney, who filed the Ei
senhower petitions with 1,110
democratic names for the demo
cratic primary, said in Portland
Monday that legal action might
be taken to keep the general's
name on the democratic ballot.
Holds Ike Republican
Newbry said that he had
planned to write directly to Ei
senhower to ask him which po
litical party he claimed member
ship to, but after the statement
issued by the general, decided
that his political affiliation to
the republican party was clear.
Mark Hatfield, executive sec
retary of the Oregon for Eisen
hower committee, said Monday
that although the committee has
far in excess of the required 1000
names on the Eisenhower peti
tions, the filing of the petitions
would not take place for several
weeks.
"In our talks with national
leaders of the Eisenhower move
ment," he said, "both Mr. Phil
lips and I were told that the
more names we could obtain on
j)ie petitions the better it would
be For that reason we are con
tinuing the circulation of the
petitions throughout the" state."

Compromise on
UMT
Program
Washington (P) It appears
virtually certain the country's
youth will not be enrolled this
year in a full Universal Military
Training program.
This was evident Monday af
ter the nation's top military
leaders, once emphatically in
favor of it, suggested a compro
mise plan in testimony before
the House Armer Services Com
mittee holding public hearings
on the issue.
The military leaders asked es
sentially that 60,000 of the men
subject to the growing draft this
year be permitted to volunteer
instead for a partial UMT. The
purpose would be to get basic
machinery oiled for the time, in
the future, when full-scale UMT
might be adopted.
Chairman Vinson D.-Ga. of
the house committee said Sun
day it would be "relatively sim
ple" to get UMT under way on
a limited scale.
Al Dead-End
Only Major Policy
Change Can End
Endurance Contest
Fanmunjom, Korea U.R Ko
rean armistice talks appeared to
have reached a dead-end today
with both sides refusing to budge,
Only a major policy change by
the United Nations or the com
munists can end the endurance
contest and save the negotiations
from final collapse.
Both subcommittees working
on a truce agreed to meet again
at 11 a.m. Tomorrow( 8 p.m.,
today, CST), but neither held out
any hope for agreement.
Each side served notice in the
two subcommittees today that it
will not yield on the two main
issues blocking an armistice
the U. N. demand for voluntary
repatriation of war prisoners and
for a ban on military arif ield con
struction.
Threaten War Renewal
A communist newsman cover
ing the truct talks told U. N,
correspondents that full - scale
Korean fighting is "sure to be
gin" unless the U. N. drops its
arifieid ban demand.

Reds Force Back
Allied Raiders
8th Army Headquarters, Ko
rea (U.R) Fierce Communist fire
forced back United Nations raid
ers on the western front today.
The U.N. raiding patrol first
attacked a hill northwest of
Yonchonat 2 a.m., only to be
thrown back by intense small
arms and mortar fire.
After an artillery bombard
ment, the raiding party again as
saulted the hill and this time got
close enough to hurl hand gre
nades at the Reds. Once more,
however, the enemy fire drove
the allies back to their own
lines.
Slightly farther east, U.N.
units repulsed a probing attack
by 15 communists near Chorwon.
Another 15-man probe was
thrown back south of Pyonggang
on the central front.
On the eastern front, U.N. pa
trols fought four engagements
with Communist units in bunk
ers west of the Mundung valley.
In one, the allies surrounded
four bunkers, killed 24 Reds and
captured five others

laim Taft Aids
ke's Candidacy
Washington IIP) Sen. Taft's
Assertion that Eisenhower-f or
President supporters are "cry
ing to high heaven" against the
methods of Taft's campaign man
ager brought a "rightfully so"
retort from Sen. Ives (R., N.Y.)
Monday.
Taft, an 'announced candidate
for the Republican presidential
nomination, said Sunday that
those seeking the nomination
for Gen. Eisenhower have been
contending Taft couldn t win
the election next November.
The Ohio senator added he
wasn't able to understand "why
the Eisenhower people should
cry to high heaven" because
Taft's manager, David S. In-
galls, had made the same argu
ment against naming Eisenhow
er to head the GOP ticket.
"It's more than that," said
Ives, an Eisenhower backer
"The Taft people are trying to
tear . down Eisenhower by in
nuendo, and I think the result
has been to enhance the gen
cral's chances for the nomina
tion."

Ask Ratification
Of Jap Treaty
Washington VP) Secretary of
State Acheson and John Foster
Dulles urged the Senate Monday
to ratify the Japanese Peace
Treaty.
Dulles said this must be done
to keep Japan from becoming
"a captive of Communism."
Acheson and Dulles were the
first witnesses to be called by the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, holding hearings on the
Japanese treaty and three other
Pacific security pacts with
Japan, the Philippines and Aus
tralia and New Zealand.
Enactment of all the treaties
was urged by both Acheson and
Dulles.
Acheson said the treaties are
musts in order to set up a new
and "effective syste mof region
al security in the Pacific."
And Dulles, architect of the
treaty which has been signed by
49 nations, asserted that "the
community of free nations needs
Japan."
Gen. Bradley, chairman of the
joint chiefs of staff, expressed
belief that the Peace Treaty and
the proposed Security Pacts will
"contribute very materially to
peace in the Pacific."
He said the Defense Depart
ment is in "full accord" with
the treaties, but added military
leaders hope the peace pact will
not take effect until an adminis
trative agreement relating to the
maintenance of U.S. troops in
Japan is worked out.

In Suez Zone
Ismailia, Egypt VP) Fighting
broke out again today between
British troops and Egyptian
guerrillas as the Egyptian gov
ernment promised a full inves
tigation of the killing of an

Suez canal town.
Four Egyptian guerrillas were
killed and a British officer was
reported seriously wounded

the ammunition was stored. The
troops broke through the guer
rillas' defenses after heavy fight
ing. Five guerrillas were captured.
The U. S. embassy in Cairo
said acting Egyptian Foreign
Minister Ibrahim Farag Pasha

Hazardous in Salem
Icy streets and hazardous
travel are in prospect tonight
and early Tuesday morning
with below freezing tempera
tures following the snow of
Sunday and Monday.
The new storm moving in
Sunday with snow is due to con
tinue tonight and Tuesday,
more snow showers being pre

Downtown areas and the flats
surrounding were not as hard
hit with the snow as residential
sections on elevations. In many
higher places in Salem the snow
was measured from 2 Inches to
as high as 6 inches on the ridge
to the south.
The snow started in at 6:15
a.m. Sunday and fell intermit
tently throughout the day and
night. In some lower elevations
the snow melted rapidly and at
times the showers turned to
rain, but on many hillsides the
white stuff stuck to the ground
and piled up as the flurries
went on.

Ike Honored by
French Academy
Paris VP) Gen. Dwight D
Eisenhower was made an asso
ciate member Monday of the
Academy of Moral and Political
Sciences of the Institute of
France, a 300-year-old French
seat of culture and learning.
In accepting the honor, he told
the members of the academy in a
speech that the task of forming
an international defense force to
resist Communist aggression
a task of a scope never before
seen in peacetime, even during
the three centuries of the exist
ence of this ancient institution.'
The general said "the freedom
loving peoples of the world have
now embarked on a great col
lective effort to preserve those
things which make life worth
living.
We can succeed in this great
endeavor only if each and every
one of us is willing to give the
full measure of courage, sacri
fice, work and vision; not in a
divided effort, but working to
gether in the pursuit of our com
mon goal.
pilot, said all the bodies were
found where they had been
thrown from the catapulting
plane in a 1,300-foot drop late
Saturday.
MacLane said a para-medic
team that stayed on the frigid
mountain overnight found two
of the bodies prior to his land
ing on the mountain this morn
ing. He said a walkie talkie
radio report after his take-off
told of finding the third. Mac-
Lane had landed with two more
para-medics.
He said he will fly to the
mountain again this afternoon to
fly out with the bodies.
The Coast Guard originally
listed the peak as Mt. Tyler but
said Monday it was an unnamed
peak near Tyler.
The plane bounced over the
top of the mountain late Satur
day, after hitting near the peak,
and skidded and bounced about
1,300 feet down the snow on the
other side to around the 5, 000-
foot, ".uvel. , ' .
A crew member described the
brush with death as "like being
inside an automatic washing ma
chine."
The four-engined search and
rescue plane was returning
from the scene of a British
Columbia plane crash Saturday
night when it clipped the top
of 6,359-foot Tyler Peak in a
blinding snowstorm.
The ship bounded over the
peak and skidded through the
snow down to the 5,000-foot
level. Search planes located the
wreckage Sunday.
Only two of the survivors re
quired hospitalization and they
had only cuts and bruises. They
were the pilot, Capt. Casimir
F. Hybki, 31, of Tacoma, and
the crew chief Sgt. Carl E
Scargall, 22, Tillicum, Wash.
Capt. Hybki said the crash
came just five minutes after the
crew had obtained the last "fix
on their position.
The air was turbulent, said
the pilot, "tossing the plane up
700 to 800 feet at times. A
blinding snowstorm prevented
seeing the mountain.
"There was a blinding flash
we may have hit some trees
first as the plane crashed."
Washington (IP) President
Truman Monday sent Congress
an $85,444,000,000 spending
budget, an unprecedented figure
except in all-out war. He said it
was "a heavy burden , . . the
price of peace."

of economy in this election year,
the President outlined an 11 bil
lion dollar expansion in armed
forces spending to more than-51
billion, including a start on
building the Air Force from 90
wings to 143.
Atomic Energy Expansion
And he gave notice, in a bud
get preview for reporters, that

Fairbanks, Alaska (IP) The
temperature skidded to 60 de

Fairbanks' 2000 residents, their
regular air communications vir
tually cut off by the bitter cold
shivered in a frosty world of
their own.
The cold spell, the second in
ten days, held most of the far
north in its grip.
It was 78 below zero at Snag
on the Alaska-Canadian border
and many interior Alaska points
reported readings of 70 below or
colder.
A dense ice fog which always
forms when the mercury drops
below minus 45, forced sched

The occasional plane that did
arrive took off again before its

Slain at Suez
Ismalia, Egypt (IP) The U. S.
consul from Cairo arrived here
Monday for an on-the-spot in
vestigation of the slaying of an
American nun, the first Ameri
can casualty in the bloody Suez
fighting.
At the same time, a British
staff officer here announced
military court of inquiry would
meet to determine who killed
the nun.
He did not say when. In
earlier statements, which the
officer said were based on pre
liminary reports, the British
blamed the Egyptians.
British officials said Egyptian
"thugs" were responsible for the
slaying of Sister Anthony, 52,
born Brigitte Ann Timbers,
daughter of Samuel Timbers of
Pcekskill, N. Y.
But Egyptian officials asserted
that British rifle fire killed her
as she stepped from her convent
door Saturday with other nuns
to welcome a British tank de
tachment.
As British troops virtually
completed their task of clearing
out the Arab quarter of this Suez
Canal Zone center, a private rc
quem mass was held for Sister
Anthony.

To Speed-up
Arms Deliveries
Washington (IP) President
Truman, asking new billions for.
foreign aid, told Congress Mon
day the United States is about
to speed up its arms deliveries
to Western Europe and other
Red-threatened areas under a
new allocations policy.
Within the year, he said con
fidently in his budget message.
Western Europe with this Amer
ican help "can have a compact
force which would offer strong
resistance in the event of an at
tack."
But it will be "a few years,"
he said, before the force will
bo powerful enough to make
remote the danger of an attack.
To finance his projected mu
tual security program including
economic as well as military aid
to friendly nations all over the
world, the President proposed
to spend $10,525,000,000 in the
12 months beginning next July
1.

army engineers to build and
maintain more than a half dozen
rivers and harbors and flood
control projects in the two
states.
This is more than one-fourth
of what the engineers propose

Conoress Plans

Washington (U.R) Members of
congress began demanding cuts
in President Truman's $85,000,
000,000 plus budget even before
they officially received it today.
The president's spending pro
posals for the fiscal year 1953,
beginning next July 1, were
scheduled for formal submission
to the house and senate 12:15
p.m. EST. Mr. Truman already
had indicated, in his economic
message last week, that the
.spending total would top $85,-000,000,000.
Assistant House Republican
Leader Charles A. Hiilleck jump
ed the gun on the official release
time by saying in a radio inter
view yesterday that it was an
'open secret" that the budget
would call for about $85,500,000,-
000 in spending, and estimated
revenue of $71,000,000,000.
The Indiana congressman de
manded that congress slash $14,
500,000,000 from the budget to
avoid a deficit of that amount.
Ho said that even military spend
ing and foreign aid two major
items should be subjected to
rigorous economy cuts.
Mr. Truman was expected to
repeat his earlier request for
some $5,000,000,000 in new taxes
to help close the gap between
federal spending and income.
But leaders of both parties
agreed that there is no chance
that congress will raise taxes in
this election year.
