The ordinance will become effective at the end of a 10-day period, on Saturday, May 2. Approximately 20 residents of two-block area on West 10th street were present in the audi ence to request immediate action on a bee problem in their area. They included Mrs. Russell John son, 1106 West 10th street, who circulated a petition about three years ago requesting action from the council. No final action was taken at that time.

(See Story on Paga 9) Truman Critics Admit Impeachment Unsure Washington (U.R) Some of President Truman's sharpest critics in Congress have conced ed that nothing is likely to come of a pending impeachment reso lution. Democratic leaders evidenced no concern over the resolution, which was introduced Tuesday by Rep. Robert Hale (R.-Maine.) Hale said Mr. Truman violat ed his oath of office by seizing the steel mills without statutory authority. His resolution is the first step in a complicated proc ess by which Congres could ex pel Mr. Truman from office, "The President took an oath to defend the Constitution," Hale said. "He did not take an oath to make steel or even to make bullets." Hale's resolution, which fol lows a more-or-less standard Im peachment form, was referred to the House Judiciary committee Some committee members indi cated they may seek action on it at the c ommittee's regular meeting Thursday. South Might Support Harriman, Is View Washington U,R Sen. John J. Sparkman (D.-Ala.) said Wed nesday he "thinks" the South would support W. Averell Harri man if he were the Democratic nominee for President. But he quickly added th "the South would rather have a candidate of its own" like Sen, Richard B. Russell of Georgia. Olher Southern Democrats who did not wish to be quoted by name, were even more re served in their reaction to Harrl man's announcement that he will campaign "actively" for the nomination. Washington (U.R) Chairman James P. Richards of the House Foreign Affairs committee Wed nesday called on W. Averell Har riman to resign as foreign aid chief because he has declared himself an "activt candidate' for president. . RIBUNE United preit Fu'l Leaitd fflri 1952 No. 28 or group other than the state or federal governments, to use ny mechanical substance to in terfere with the weather. Ac cording to Haviland, there is a question as to whether such a law would be strictly local, in volving Jackson county only. If this were the case, the law would then be constitutional, Haviland stated, but if it involv ed other areas it would not be constitutional. He stated that the only method to determine its constitutionality would be by testing it in the courts. Haviland's statements follow ed a similar ruling by George Nuener, Oregon attorney gen eral, on the matter. Filing of the petition followed ction by the Moisture Conser vation League of Jackson Coun ty, demanding that the people of the county have an oppor tunity to vote on the issue. Harvey Brandau and Eugene Kooser, both of Medford, have been hired by fruit-growing and shipping interests to seed threat ening clouds in an effort to pro tect fruit against hail. They have already made two flights this year and also made numerous flights last year. Some farmers object to the cloud seeding, contending that the process also prevents rain which is badly needed by county farmers owning summer range land dependent on summer rain. The fliers deny they prevent rain, and have offered weather bureau figures to support their statements. Continuing Rains Add To Flood Fury Kansas City, Mo. U.R) Con tinued light rains added to the fury of the raging Missouri river Wednesday as the Big Muddy's crest moved past St. Joseph and aimed ill next blow in the direc tion of Sherman Air Force base at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan. Fresh troops rushed in to seal minor break in the north dike protecting the air base, toiled nightlong in rain, on slippery, soggy levees, but early Wednes day appeared on their way to ward victory. 'We re doing all right," said Maj. James Klein, public infor mation officer. "We haven't lost any ground and while we know the worst is yet to come, we are confident. Equals All-Tim High The turbulent river, rumbling on toward its prime downstream target at Kansas City, rose to 27.2 foot reading at St. Joseph at 9 p.m. Tuesday night, equal ing the all-lime record crest set in the horrible debacle of 1881 It remained at the 27.2 reading until 10 p.m. when it dropped to 27.1, but at 1 a.m. Wednesday the river rose again to 27.2 and remained constant there through the early morning hours. Lt. Lot. ueorge Bennett, as sistant U.S. Army engineer at St. Joseph, said: 'The crest has been reached and we are holding fast. The worst is over at St. Joseph and upstream at Forbes. We have gained at Forbes and now have 8 inches of freeboard where hours ago the margin was only 6 Inches.

Washington (U.R) CIO Presi dent Philip Murray has accused the steel industry of deliberately creating a wage crisis In order to "blackmail" the government into approving over-the-ceillng price Increases. Murray said Industry leaders wanted to use the threat of a steel strike as a "smokescreen for all-out effort to dictate" the terms under which they would supply iteel for national de fense.

Dwight D. Eisenhower added two more presidential pri mary victories to his campaign-by-proxy by winning Pennsylva nia's "popularity contest and giving his backers claim to most of New York s 06 Republican National Convention delegates. The general triumphed in Pennsylvania's preferential pri mary Tuesday with almost s 500,000-vote edge over his near est opponent, Sen. Robert A Taft of Ohio, whose name was not on the ballot. Wins 7 of 12 Eisenhower won seven of 12 GOP contests in New York whereas Taft had to settle for The other four winners were unpledged but belonged to the state organization headed by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and GOP Chairman William L. Pfeiffer, who favor Eisenhower. Republicans and Democrats in Pennsylvania each elected 60 uninstructed delegates. Previous ly the Democrats had appointed 20 delcgates-at-large, each hav ing a one-half vote in the July convention, and the GOP had se lected 10. Elsenhower's victory in the popularity contest did not bind the unpledged Pennsylvania del egation to his cause. But Sen James H. Duff jubilantly declar ed the general's sweeping victory "shows that the rank and file of voters in Pennsylvania over whelmingly prefer Eisenhower to Taft." Support in West The general s heaviest support in New York came from the Western section where he swept the 42nd, 43rd and 44th Congres sional districts. Taft won one delegate In New York City's 16th Congressional district, with Els enhower taking the other of the two races there. There were no candidates on Pennsylvania's Democratic bal lot, but Sen. Estes Kcfauver of Tennessee led all hopefuls in an unenthusiastic write-in cam paign. . Kefauver picked up one dele gate in Schenectady, but W. Averell Harriman, mutual secu rity administrator, had the back ing of the New York state Demo cratic leaders. 90 Chosen Ninety Republican Conven tion delegates were chosen in New York and the state commu te will appoint six delcgates-at-large later. The Democrats will send 94 to their convention, in cluding four-at-large. Harold Stassen, a candidate on Pennsylvania's GOP ballot, ran almost 20,000 votes behind Taft but far ahead of Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Gov. Earl War ren of California, write-ins, Afcohof Beverage Tax Distributed Wednesday Salem (U.R) A total of $63, 000 representing alcoholic bever age tax revenues for the first quarter of 1952, was distributed to Oregon cities and counties Wednesday by Secretary of State Earl T.

SHADY COVE FIRE Shady Cove The home of Ed ward Teppcr here was consider ably damaged by fire Tuesday. Arguments Fly - Wage Crisis Investigating the dispute be tween the Industry and Murray's 650,000 United Steelworkcrs. Murray took his case to Con gress as an Industry official pre dieted that the government will grant producers over the ceiling price increases to offset wage in creases and permit a negotiated settlement that would return the seized industry to private con trol. Washington (U.R) The White House has announced that Presi dent Truman's National Advl sory Board on Mobilization Pol icy supported the government s position In the steel wage-price dispute. The board, which met at the White House Monday and Tues day, relayed its findings and sug gestions to Mr. Truman through Acting Defense Mobillzer John R. Steelman. Governor Reports His Studies Show Change Unjustified Reaction Here Fast, Mayor Hears Protests Salem (U.R) Oregon will stav on standard time this summer. Gov. Douglas McKay late Tuesday, following a thorough study of the facts, rejected day light saving time. Under Oregon law, the governor can proclaim fast time only if he finds that the state's economy would be dam aged by remaining on standard time. He was given this power by the legislature. McKay's decision meani that Portland (U.R) Portland City Commissioner J. E. Ben nett Wednesday ordered the city attorney to draft an or dinace changing the working hours of 3,100 city employees to 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Portland will be the only major west oast city on standard time this summer. California will go in daylight time Sunday, as well as Seattle. Facts Don't Justify in his proclamation annnimr. Ing continuance of standard time. Gov. McKay said, "the facts pre sented are not sufficient to justi fy me in making the findinsa which the law requires that thera is such a lack of uniformity ex isting to place our state at a ma terial economic disadvantage. I tnerefore cannot conscien. tlously proclaim daylight saving time ior uregon." Gov. McKay added, "however. that the law provided for a pos sible future shift to daylight time it the "economy and general welfare of this state are placed at material disadvantage by lack of uniformity between standard Oregon time ... and the time in general use in the states border ing. . . " Reverse Position McKay'a decision to continue standard time was a reversal ot his 1951 position which put all oi uregon on fast time. Farmers' groups and drive-in theater oper ators opposed daylight time. The proclamation brought im mediate reaction from city groups, and a move was set afoot by some groups to launch a campaign for volunteer day light time in the Portland area. In addition to Portland busi ness men and radio network stations, which claimed they would lose thousands of dollars through tangled program sched uling, opposition to standard time in Oregon also came from transportation, banking, lumber ing .and investment officials. Reaction Here Immediate Reaction here to Gov. Douglas McKay's action in declining to proclaim uayught Saving time In Oregon was immediate and strong today. Delegations of men who favor DST called on Mayor Diamond flynn this morning, urging him to call Governor McKay to urge him to reconsider his decision. Radio broadcasters are among the hardest-hit, with complicated programming problems due to the fact that Oregon would be an "island" of standard time in sea of Daylight time. One sta tion manager estimated that it would cost his station alone $500 monthly In extra salaries and related costs. Behind Markets Lumbermen, who are now three hours behind New York markets, would be four houra behind if the decision stands. Stock brokers are in the same situation. Others who urged the mayor to take the action include repre sentatives of the Retail Mer chants association and the two Medford banks. Mayor Flynn said he will telephone the governor early this afternoon, conveying the protests voiced to him. There Is a possibility that the city might unofficially go on fast time, as It did two years ago, it was pointed out. But at that time there were two times being ob served In the city, making for considerable confusion. Medford Kiwanis club mem bers, taking a straw vote on Day light Saving time at their noon luncheon, overwhelmingly sup ported DST, with only three members advocating standard time. Medford postmaster Moore Hamilton said today that infor mation on new airmail time schedules, based on Daylight Saving time, were mailed out yesterday in anticipation that DST would be proclaimed in Oregon Sunday. He asked that they be Ignored. Salem (U.R) Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., R-Mass na tional campaign manager for the Elsenhower-for-presldent forces, will be In Portland Monday, May 5, to confer with Eisenhower workers of Oregon, according to word received Wednesday by William L. Phillips, chairman of the Oregon-for-Eisenhower committee.
