Newbry to Rule (Continued from Page 1) From Portland, the Associated Press correspondent, Jack Bell, reported that Monroe Sweetland, democratic national committee man, had said that in the absence of word from President Truman or Frank McKinney, democratic national chairman, he is going ahead with plans to put a slate supporting the president in the field for the May primaries. At the same time Sweetland said delegates for Senator Kefauver for vice president also may be entered. William L. Josslin, democratic state chairman, said he has "se rious doubts" that Mr. Truman plans to seek another term and added that he regards Kefauver as having strong support among Oregon democrats. In addition to Eisenhower's name on the republican ballot, jr. . Epton, Portland real es tate man, announced during the republican meeting in San Fran cisco last week, that he plans to file petitions for General Doug las MacArthur unless he gets definite word to the contrary from the general. Taft Forces Reluctant T a f t forces are reluctant to file for the Oregon primary elec tion and seem satisfied to pick up secondary votes rather than take a chance in the primary fight, perhaps having in mind that Governor Thomas E. Dew ey came out a convention win ner after defeating Harold Stas sen in the Oregon primaries four years ago. Incidentally, Stassen may file in Oregon, having declared that he is surveying the situation. There is also a possibility that Governor Earl Warren of Cali fornia will also file in the Ore gon primaries. If all four candidates file, the eyes of the country will again be focused on the Oregon pri mary election in May.

(Telephoto) 13 LA Doctors Active As Reds Washington (U.B Sixteen per sons, including Id pnysicians, were identified at house un- American activities committee hearings today as having been active in communist party ac tivities in Los Angeles In 1939 or 1940. Most of them were named by Dr. Louise E. Light, a Los An geles osteopath, who told the committee they "may or may not be in the party now." Mrs. Light and her husband, Max Silver, said they are both ex-communists. They said they made a "final break" in 1945 when the official communist party line was shifted to place greater emphasis on the "class struggle against capitalism. Among those named by Mrs Light was Dr. Max Schoen, Los Angeles dentist who had re fused to testify at committee hearings in Los Angeles for fear of "self-incrimination." Mrs. Light said that in 1940 or 1941 Schoen tried to force her to fire Emily Gordon, her assistant, because the "girl had dropped out of the communist party." "He told me I should dis charge her as 'an enemy of the people' and hire someone who would be willing to work with the communist movement," she testified. She said she refused to do so. Mrs. Light testified that 16 Los Angeles doctors also were members of the medical branch of the party during 1939 and 1940. COURT NEWS Circuit Court Lola eimmonj v City of Stlem, Para mount Market.

J Four- year-old Sandra Gist, dying of an incurable sickness, today had all the watermelon she could eat. Sandra got the melon she wanted so badly yesterday from three members of the "impos sible committee" of the Saints and Sinners club. Given only a short time to live by doctors, she has been growing progressively weaker for months and now has diffi culty moving her hands. Her plight and her desire for a cold watermelon came to the attention of the Saints and Sin ners, and the group of business and professional men went to work at once. The "impossible" committee men telephoned acros the na tion until they located a melon in Cuba. It was placed on an airliner and flown here. Sandra s benefactors were Ben Tcitlcbaum, Harry Rosroff and Samuel A. Mannis. Korean Truce (Continued from Pace 1) At the same time, the U. N denied a communist charge that allied planes deliberately bomb ed and strafed a properly-marked communist truce delegation con voy on the Pyongyang-Kaesong road last Friday. It conceded that some such communist vehicles might have been hit during an allied air at tack at the spot a bridge 40 miles north of Kaesong. How ever, the U. N. said, the four at tacking planes did not see any vehicles in the vicinity. Sneaking Convoy Through U. N. Liaison Officer Col. C. Murray moreover hinted that the Reds might have been trying to sneak through an extra con voy under protection of cerise markers. A southbound convoy had been spotted at the bridge three hours before the attack, Murray said, and the allies have agreed to per mit only one southbound convoy a day. The Reds said two of the three vehicles in the attacked convoy were destroyed and two men injured. from $6,868,000,000 this year to $10,844,000,000 next fiscal year, with military aid alone jumping from four to eight billion.

DDII , -sig-- WITH EASY-TO-INSTALL DC! 1.Ac PER NOW 10c Monday, Jan. 21, 19525 Ruling Bears On Annexation A county may be considered an owner of property in a coun ty road for the purpose of giv ug consent to city annexation of territory including the road, ac cording to a recent opinion o' the attorney general. Since the county in effi holds county roads on behalf r the public, if in fact it is nc the actual owner in fee. an. since the county court is chnrged with the management, coi.tA,! and exclusive jurisdiction of such roads and serves as man aging agent for the county, th opinion stated that the count. might be considered an owner of property in the county road and that the county court could consent to the annexation on behalf of that property. The attorney general warned. however, that mere annexation by a city of a county road would not serve to vest control or man agement of the road in the city since it is necessary to comply with legal procedure in order for the jurisdiction of the coun ty road to be transferred from a county to a city.
