Movie Saves Lives
Most of the ship's complement
of 400 men were attending a
movie in a hold which escaped
damage, and their presence
there was credited with saving
many lives. Had it not been for
the movie, the men probably
would have been on deck, where
the plane crashed.
While the ship's repair crews
battled the flames, hospital staff
members fell to the task of res
cuing the wounded from the
ward rooms of the ship, many of
which were blazing infernos.
They carried about 180 to safety,
but 18 of the battle veterans
died. The other 18 dead or miss
ing were members of the ship's
crew. '
In two of the ward rooms, 13
wounded men were isolated, the
twisted steel of bulkheads and
doors scaling them from their
would-be rescuers. When the
fire was extinguished, an hour
and a half after the attack, the
bodies of the trapped men were
found heaped around their com
partment doors, attesting to
their desperate effort to escape.

DRAFTS MESSAGE
TO
LEAGUEXHARTER
Old Neighbors Told World
States Can Get Along
Easy as United States.
Kansas City, Mo., June 29.
(U.R) President Truman worked
today on a 600-word message
which he will send to the senate
Monday in support of the United
Nations charter, the basis of his
startling proposal of a world re
public as the only effective anti
date for future world wars.
. Charles G. Ross, the president
tial press secretary, said that
Mr. Truman had not decided
whether he would carry the mes
sage to congress personally. The
chief executive was up early
again today, working on his
message at his home before mov
ing into his office here shortly
before 9 a. m;
Solemn Call
Ross indicated that the presi
dent virtually had completed his
message. His proposal for a
world republic of nations was
contained in a speech made here
last night, a solemn call for this
nation to become the guidepost
nf the world by being the first
n rnlifv the new charter. He
likened that document to a new
world constitution.
Again hundreds of friends
'streamed into his office today to
shake his hand and wish him
well.
The president confers with Alf
M. Landon, former Kansas gov
ernor and 1936 Republican presi
dential candidate, today and
plans to attend a newspaper
men's party for his press secre
tary.
Mr. Truman said last night,
"It will be Just as easy for
nations to get along In a republic
of the world as it is for us to get
along in a republic of the United
States."
Honorary Degree
He was talking to Jackson
county neighbors and old class.
mates as he received an honor
ary degree from his alma mater,
the law school of the University
of Kansas City.
In an unexpected, extempora
neous statement on foreign pol
icy, the president based his
campaign for speedy ratification
of the United Nations charter on
the theory that unless the Unit
ed States leads the way, there
will be no durable peace.
He said he wanted this coun
try to be the first to ratify the
charter which he referred to as
"The Constitution of San Fran
cisco," and he reinforced this by
saying:
"Unless we lead the way,
there will be no peace in the
world."
Indirectly but unmistakably,
he thus put the responsibility for
future world peace right in the
senate's lap. He planned to make
no demands on the senate. His
long political experience on cap
itol Hill dictated against that.
But he put the issue squarely up
to his former colleagues last
night when he said the charter
and the United Nations world
court plan must be ratified "if
we expect to have world peace
for the next few generations."

Little Destroyer

Portland, Ore., June 29 (U.R)
Amazing, daring, skill and "plain
old fashioned American ingenu
ity" brought the U.S.S. Bright

off Okinawa, her skipper said to
day. The spunky little destroyer es

hectic battle last May 13 with a
Japanese "Kamakaze" suicide

Lt. Cmdr. William A. McMa

ship across the Pacific under its
own power and without a rud
der, called the Bright's survival
a bit of "fantastic luck."
All personnel in the ship's

Though business slowed down
somewhat in May, volume is still
far above normal. Every month
merchandise seems a little hard

operate because of the shortage
of fats and sugar and the neces
sary red points. For this reason
part of them are forced to oper

Recent lifting of restrictions
by the War Production Board

Bartlctts 25 per cent, Cornice

State Hospital's Need For
Added Housing Is Pointed
Out by Secretary Farrell
Salem, Ore., June 29. U.R
A new dormitory building for
inmates of the Oregon state
hospital cottage farm, just out-
side of Salem, will probably be
the first building constructed
from the $10,000,000 voted for
state institutions by the people
in last week's special election.
According to Secretary of
State Robert S. Farrell, Jr., who
was active in supporting the
measure, the state hospital's
worst need is for added housing
facilities. The projected dormi
tory will provide living room for
many patients, who now are in
tho obsolete and badly over
crowded buildings in Salem.
Farrell says he hopes that con
struction can be begun by fall
of this year.
Space Needed
y He said that added living
space is a "necessity", and that
a new treatment wing of the
hospital, including surgery and
new offices, are "luxuries" in
comparison.
A total of about $5,000,000 of
the $6,000,000 available to state
institutions, other than educa
tional, will be spent in the next
few years. The largest single
amount will go to the state hos
pital, (about $3,000,000) with
varying amounts going to the
penitentiary, Fairvicw Home,
the two tuberculosis hospitals,
Woodburn boys training school.
Hlllcrcst school for girls, and
the deaf and blind schools,
A long range program, admin
istered by the state board of
control and the state emergency
board, is being planned. The
money will be the amount voted
last week, in addition to the
$3,000,000 or so appropriated by
the 1945 legislature.
Strong Support
The state building fund mea
sure gained an overwhelming
victory In the special election
largely because of strong sup
port accorded It by the state
system of higher education,
alumni associations and citizens'
committees, and virtually the
entire press of the stale.
Higher education will receive
$4,000,000 of the total amount
for new building on the univcr
sity and college campuses. The
state higher education board
will prepare its building pro
gram, subject to the approval of
the emergency board and the
board of control.
Little or no opposition to the
building measure was shown in
pre-election campaigning.
The cigarette tax, on the other
hand, defeated by a few thou
sand votes, had little real sup
port. Parent-teacher and other
educational groups gave it nom
inal approval, but It was no
secrete that their support was
far from enthusiastic.
