a candidate for re-election.

all the factors involved, I have
concluded to be a candidate for re

squarely upon the record I have
made in office since coming to the
Senate in March of 1944.

to express themselves on questions
of fundamental political philosophy
which necessarily will be a major
issue of the coming campaign. I
shall be happy to abide by their
decision."

ment of Gold Beach harbor on the
RoRue river at a cost f more than
$3,700,000 today was .voposed in
two identical bills introduced by
Sen. Guy Cordon and Rep. Harris
Ellsworth.

ment of timher resnurrps in (ho
tributary area) provide a home
base for about 40 fishing craft
and an operating base for an
equal number. It also would af-
ford refuge for other small craft
along a rugged stretch of coast,
the engineers said.
The bills would authorize con
struction of jetties at the harbor

Homemade H
Bomb Explodes
CLEVELAND lPI A home
made "hydrogen bomb," used as
a trial exhibit, exploded in court
Tuesday and sprayed the judge
and 12-man jury with sludge from
a city dump.
Judge Ross Michener wiping
sludge from his bald head, said he
would rule later on a mistrial mo
tion the defense made immed
iately after the blast.
Mrs. Mary Grosser sued for
damages against Armet Alloys,
Inc., in the death of her husband.
Fred. Ho died ot burns received
in 1949 while operating a bulldo
zer in the city dump. The widow
said Grosscr's bulldozer hit mag
nesium shavings, dumped by the
alloy firm, and was wrapped in
flames when they ignited.
Tuesday, Dr. Aaron Teller, Fenn
College chemist, attempted to
prove for the plaintiff the sludge
at the dump is explosive. He ex
hibited a sludge-filled flask to
which he added water, declaring it
would give off hydrogen gas.
In an initial test, he lit the gas
that came out of the flask. 1" the
second and final test, he corked
the flask.
A few seconds later the cork
flew out of the bottle with a loud
crack and the sludge erupted into
the court room.

Governor Optimistic
In Talk to Stockmen
By CLAUDE STEUSLOFF
"The facts in Oregon do not
bear out statements which have
been made that we are in a man
made depression," Governor Paul
Patterson told members of the
Western Oregon Livestock Associ
ation Tuesday morning at the Sen
ator Hotel.
In February, 1950, Oregon cov
ered unemployment was 62,000
persons, this February it will be
42.000, lintterson stated. One year
ago, there were on file 2,000 per
mits to go into woods for logging
operations in Orcaon, This Janu
ary there were 3.000 permits on
file, and logging is being held up
only Ty unfavorable weather.
Patterson said there are 23 per
cent more people employed in Ore
gon industries today than there
were year ago.
However, people must realize
that the present high levels of eco
nomy cannot go on indefinitely and
readjustments will be necessary.
In view of the possibility of a real
property levy, Patterson said the
tax equalization must be done fac
tually as soon as possible. He men
tioned that Klamath and Grant
counties are fairly well done with
the job.
Patterson recommended a high
degree of selectivity in state spend
ing, taking on only those projects
necessary for government use. He
mentioned the proposed intermedi
ate institution as giving a reason
able prospect for saving a dollar
by spending one now.

Hawaii and Alaska
State Bills Seperated
WASHINGTON I - The way
apparently was cleared Tuesday
for separation of the question of
statehood for Hawaii from that of
statehood for Alaska.
Sen. Dworshak (R-Idaho), key
legislator in the situation, dropped
his stand for a combined bill.
The Eisenhower administration
had aimed for separate consider
ation for Hawaii. Its plans were
upset when Dworshak voted wilh
Democrats in the .Senate Interior
Committee last week for a com
bined hill.
Tuesday, Dworshak announced a
switch of positions by issuing the
following statement:
"I have withdrawn my insist
ence that both Hawaii and Alaska
be considered in a single measure.
"The reason for my action last
week in voting to include Hawaii
and Alaska was to insure consider
ation of statehood for both terri
tories at this session.
"Now I have received assur
ances from Chairman Butler (R
Ncb) of the Senate Committee on
Interior and Insular Affairs, and
from Sen. Cordon iR-Orei, ennir
man of the subcommittee that a
separate hill, now being perfected,
which deals with Alaska, will he
reported out within 30 days. This,
I feel, will accomplish the purpose
of consideration for both territor
ies this session."
