TO THE
EDITOR . .
Pear Editor:
The naming of a so-called
"Truth Squad" to keep tab, on
Congressman Al Ullman ralsea a
few iuetiona In the mind of
thl voter.
First. In view of the financing
of the National Republican truth
aquad In earlier campaign. I
would like to know who la fin-
anctng this project. In the 1952
and 1950 campaigns an airplane
belonging to radio and T V atat
Ion owner George Storer, waa
furnished at no cost to the COP
truth squad to use In traveling
throughout the country. This
came close to the conflict of In
terest that later caused the chair
man of the FCC to loose his Job
as a result of favors received
from the same George Storer.
Second, If It Is the purpose of
the Republican candidate to con
duct a clean campaign on the
issues without mud slinging, as
he says, why does he indirectly
accuse our Congressman of need
Ing a "truth squad" to point out
the facts? Wouldn't a better
name he the "Alibi Squad"?
Third. Al Ullman's record Is a
matter of public knowlege and
any resident of the second dis
trict should know by now what
position ho takes on all public
Issues. His voting record is not
hidden but Is available to any
one. However a real service could
be performed by this Alibi Squad
if they would inform the voters
where Al's opponent stands on
these same public issues. Such
Information would be of real
value and would not require the
kind of financing given the earl
ler truth squads.
Sincerely,
Al Lamb
From The
County Agent's Office

To the Editor:
I am writing to your paper
in the hope that some of your
readers may assist us in satis
factorily completing a project
of historical Interest.
For some time now we have
been attempting to trace the
route, camps and grave sites of
the lost waRon train of 1845
which traveled through Eastern
and Central Oregon In late sum
mer and early fall of that year,
The train, estimated at over
200 wagons, left old Fort Boise
on the banks of the Snake River
and traveled eventually to The
Dalles under the guidance of
Stephen H L Meek, brother of
Joe Meek. Their hardships were
great; over 40 deaths resulted
from their Ill-advised attempt to
shortcut the old Oregon Trail to
The Dalles.
Many versions have been
handed down; many stories told.
Since this Is the train that dls
covered gold later to be the
source of Intensive searches for
the lost Blue Bucket mine much
speculation and theory has been
repeated as fact.
We hope to eventually estab
lish the main and divergent
tracks of this hardy group, but
after 115 years the task Is a dif
ficult one.
If any of your readers can aid
in identifying members of the
train, or disclosing additional
sources of Information about the
route, or feel they have any in
formation which could help, that
help will be most gratefully re-
