2 Children Die
In Cabin Blaze
GRESHAM (AP) Fire swept
throuch a two-room cabin east of
here on the Mt. Hood Loop high
way Thursday morning, killing
two children and putting the mo
ther and another child in a hos
pital with critical burns.
A fourth child had just gone to
school and the father was in Port
land. The victims, children of Mr. and
Mrs. Raymond C. Kemery, were
identified by Sheriff's Deputy Wal
ter Jahn as Alice May, 3, and
Charles C, 4.
Mrs. Kemery, 33. apparently
was burned in her rescue of
Wade, 22 months, who was taken
to the hospital with her.
Jahn said until Mrs. Kemery
could be questioned details would
be obscure but this appeared to be
the sequence of events:
Kemery, who works for a farm
er, Willard Henry Johanson and
lives on his land, had gone to
Portland to sell a load of potatoes.
Mrs. Kemery saw their eldest
child, Sherry Ann, , olf on the
school bus.
Then it is not clear, Jahn said,
whether she saw flames, rushed
into (he house, and brought out
the your-rcst child, or whether
she had gone into the house be
fore the fire broke out.
It if presumed, he said, . from
stories given by neighbors, that
she rushed into the fire in a res
cue effort.
Oregon Parole
System Studied .
The Oregon parole and proba
tion survey advisory committee
is meeting In Salem this after
noon to study a probation asso
ciation. The national association was
asked to make a study of the
Oregon system of parole and
probation and to recommend any
changes it deemed advisable.
Justice James T. Brand of the
Oregon supreme court is chair
man of the advisory committee.
The report from the national as
sociation recommends several
changes in Oregon's system of
parnle and probation.

Confirmation
Of Warren to
Come Friday
.Knowland Predicts
Overwhelming Vote of
Confidence in Senate
WASHINGTON (UP) Quick
Senate confirmation of Earl War
ren's nomination as Chief Justice
was virtually assured today fol
lowing bizarre and belated com'
mittee aproval. .
Senate Republican Leader Wil
liam F. Knowland said Mr. War
ren s confirmation will- come
quickly, probably tomorrow, and
expressed belief the ex-governor
of California will get an over
whelming vote of confidence."
The delay occurred in the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee, which
finally approved the nomination,
on a 12 to 3 vote yesterday
puncturing the only complaints
raised against Mr. Warren.
Three Dissenters
Even the three dissenters,
Democratic Sens. Harley M. Kil
gore (W Va.), Olin D. Johnston
(SC) and James O. Eastland
(Miss.), did not subscribe to the
acusations made against Mr. War
ren by another Califorman, Rod
erick J. Wilson of Hollywood.
Neither did chairman, William
Langer, (R-ND), a central figure
in the nationwide furore about
the committee's handling of the
nomination. "There's nothing to
those remarks," that Wilson
made, Langer told newsmen.
While nominally under arrest
as a fugitive from California jus
tice, Wilson testified more than
two hours behind closed - doors
yesterday, telling why he thinks
Mr. Warren is a "captive" of a
corrupt political machine."

Battle Rages
For N.Y. Central
CLEVELAND Ul Clinton W.
Murchison. Dallas oil and eas mil
lionaire, and Sid W. Richardson,
of Fort Worth have bought the
800,000 shares of New York Cent
ral shares owned by the Chesa
peake and Ohio Railway, the C&O
announced Thursday. ;
Murchison is reported to be 'a
friend of Robert W. Young, now
engaged in a battle for control
of the New York Central system.
The sale price was given as $25
a share.
A brief announcement by Walter
.T. Tuohy, the C&O president, said
the sale represented a profit of
approximately 2.4 million dollars.
Tuohy said ".the stock was sold
at a profit to C&O shareholders.
We have no further comment."
Murchison has extensive hold
ings in oil and gas but also is
interested in banks, utilities,
chemical companies, life insurance
compani s and holds several mil
lion dollars worth of securities in
the Missouri Pacific Railroad.
The 800.000 shares are the
largest single block of New York
Central shares. They have been
held in trusteeship by the Chase
National Eank of New York, un
der a ruling by Uie Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Tuohy's announcement said the
CiO directors meeting here Thurs
day approved the sale of the en
tire block of shares. It was the
first board mootinr since Cyrus S.
Eaton, Cleveland financier became
chairman.
He was named chairman in Jan
uary when Young and his asso
ciates in Alleghany Corp. sold their
C&O stock to Eaton and divorced
themselves completely from the
C&O. This was a move to enable
Young to initiate a new battle to
acquire control of New York
Central.
New York Central stock closed
Wednesday at $24.

Split Report
On Postage Hike
WASHINGTON I Seven Dem
ocrats and one Republican dissent
ed Thursday from a House com
mittee's formal endorsement of a
240-million-dollar postal rate boost,
calling it an "Unconscionable bur
den . . contrary to the public in
terest."
The minority report from the 25-
memben Post ' Office Committee
denounced the. Eisenhower admin
istration's.' bill for higher 1 mail
rates as an added "tax"" and a
"radical departure from the con
cept of public service whlcb is the
keystone of our postal establish
ment." : .
The committee majority, on the '
other hand, urged adoption of the
rate bill and said there is need of
additional revenues to offset chron
ic deficits in post office operations.
The majority contended that al
though the cost of mailing out-of-town
letters would go up from 3
to 4 cents, mail users would still
be getting a bargain at the higher
figure.

WASHINGTON UB A 12 V4 per

mended Thursday by the House

313,920.960 recommended by Pres

cal year which starts next July 1.
Most or the $166,932,960 cut
would be borne by the Commerce
Department, big slashes being in

was denied Thursday.
William J. Costello, Power Com-
Hells Canyon
Gobbledygook
WASHINGTON, P) The Hells
Cayon hearing slowed to a snail's
pace Thursday as other lawyers
protested they couldn't under
stand questions asked by Mrs.
Evelyn Cooper, public power at
torney. Frequently the official reporter
was asked to read questions back
during Mrs. Cooper's cross-examination
of Early D. Ostrandcr,
Bonneville Power Administration
comptroller, at a Power Commis
sion hearing on applications to
build dams in the Snake River
between Idaho and Oregon.
R. P. Perry, attorney for Idaho
Power Co. which seeks licenses
for three dams, objected to one
question with these words:
"I move to preserve that ques
tion as an exhibit an example
of ' double talk gonblcdygook,
which is entirely vague and
meaningless."

Parry's remark be stricken from

6 Forest Chiefs
To Be Shifted
PORTLAND IB Six supervis
ors of national forests in the Pa
cific Northwest will be shifted
in mid-year, when John R.
Bruckart retires as supervisor
of the Willamette National For
est in Oregon.
The changes were announced
here by Regional Forester J.
Herbert Stone, who said Robert
Aufdcrhcide, now head of the
Umpqua Forest in Oregon, would
succeed Bruckart.
Bruckart spent his forest serv
ice career in tho Northwest. He
began 45 years ago as a guard
in the Snnqualmie Forest in
Washington.
Aufdcrhcidc's post in the Ump
qua Forest will be taken over
by Vondis E. Miller, now super
visor of the Ochoco Forest in
Central ' Oregon. Cleon Clark,
who heads the Malheur Forest in
Southeast Oregon, will move to
the Othoco.
J. Malcolm Loring will take

SICK
mission examiner! relected a mo
tion to strike" the testimony of
Washington i lona witness from
the record of the hearing on Idaho
Power Co. applications to build
three dams in- the Snake Kiver
between Idaho and Oregon.
The motion was - made in De
cember by Mrs. Evelyn Cooper,
attorney for groups favoring con
struction of a federal Hells Can
yon Dam in the same area. Wash
ington opposes the federal dam.
Mrs. Cooper said the witness,
Holland Houston, power adviser to
Gov. Arthur B. Langlic of Wash
ington, failed to qualify as an ex
pert witness and his testimony did
not support the state's petition to
intervene in the case.
Costello said Houston was quali
fied to testify on comprehensive
river development although most
of his testimony dealt with hydro
electric power.
Mrs. Cooper had argued Hous
ton was not qualified because he
had made no study of compre
hensive river development.
Commenting on Mrs. Cooper's
statement that Houston's testi
mony was "a eonglomcration of
largely unsupported hearsay evi
dence," Costello said "this seems
to be a matter of how much
weight should be given to the testi
mony and it is certainly some
thing to be explored during cross
examination." Grain Storage
Lack Stressed
WASHINGTON Ifl - Secretary
of Agriculture Benson Thursday
urged farmers to start making
plans now for storage of this
year's crops lest lack of space at
harvest time cause sharp dips in
prices.
Because of a record surplus of
grains, the storage situation tins
year could be very serious, he
said, particularly should harvests
again be large.
The secretary emphasized that
government price support aid can
be extended only on commodities
stored in acceptable facilities. He
said the government did every
thing possible last year to assist
in the expansion of both farm and
commercial storage facilities. He
said It will continue such help this
year.
"The final responsibility, how
ever, rests with fnrmers them
selves," Benson said in a formal
statement. "They should anticipate
their requirements and make plans
immediately to sec that adequate
storage space is available when
they need it."
