Repair of Bridge
Due by Tonight
A "three-foot hole" In the new
county bridge at Rogue River
will be completely repaired by
this evening, according to Paul
Rynning, county engineer. (He
gave the size as five feet by five
feet yesterday before he In
spected the hole Thursday after
noon.) The hole occurred about 6
p.m. Wednesday when a "piece
of bad concrete" fell from the
deck of the bridge just after a
log truck had gone over the
span, the engineer said. .
Repair Area Dug Out
Rynning said it was necessary
to dig out about a seven-foot
square opening to form a sub
stantial basis for the repair. He
described the incident as "Just
one of those things that happens
occasionally."
He said it isn't definitely
known what caused it but that
"something was wrong with the
concrete" and the vibration af
fected it.
The bridge was completed in
September, 1950, with dedica
tion ceremonies in October of
the same year. It took over a
year to construct the bridge by
the contracting firm of Lirtd
strom Brothers, incorporated,
Portland, under county supervision.
Townspeople Honor Memory of Unknown
Boy Who Used To Greet Railroad Crews
Elrod, S.D. (U.R) The mem
ory of a little boy who was fas
cinated by trains in the 1880 s
was kept alive Friday by towns
people who observed a 80-year
tradition.
Nobody even remembers the
boy's name. ...
Wared at Crew
But six decades ago he used to
stand beside the tracks here and
wave at the crew of the train
that went through daily.
The railroadmen watched for
his greeting and never failed to
wave back.
Then, one day, the little boy
France Accuses
Commies of Plot
To Seize Power
Paris (U.R) The government
accused the French Communist
party Friday of plotting to seize
power and alerted police
throughout the country to be
ready to crush a Red "insurrec
tion." Interior Minister Charles Brune
in a nationwide radio broadcast
said that the government would
put down at once any further
violent Red demonstrations,
which lie said had developed into
a "real insurrection" Wednesday
night.
Opposed io Ridgway
The Reds started demonstrat
ing against the arrival of Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway, who took
over from Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower as Allied supreme com
mander. When Jacques Duclos, No. 1
French Communist leader, was
arrested on the charge of incit
ing the riots and acting against
the internal security of France,
the Reds ordered mass strikes
and demonstrations in protest.
Remains in Jail
But Duclos remained in jail
Friday and Magistrate Pierre
Jacquinot, in charge of his case,
notified Andre Stil, editor of the
Communist newspaper Human'
ite, that he, too, faced charges
of plotting against the govern
ment. Stil, like Duclos, is in jail
It was made known that Duclos's
home was searched:
Sporadic work stoppages were
reported all over France in re
sponse to the Red call for strikes
protesting Duclos's arrest.

His parents buried him in a

Pilot in Classic
Fellow Californian
Hits Wall; Uninjured '
Indianapolis, Ind. (U.R)
Troy Ruttman, Lynwood, Calif.,
the youngest driver in the field
of 22, won the fastest 500 mils
race in history Friday, triumph
ing in less than four hours after
an earlier leader. Bill Vukovich,
hit the wall with only 20 miles
to go.
Ruttman, who had stayed with
Vukovich's breakneck pace all
the way, had an average speed
of 128.922 miles per hour, sur
passing the previous record of
126.244 miles per hour estab
lished by Lee Wallard in winning
last year.
Fourth Attempt
It was Ruttman's fourth start
in the classic of auto racing, and
the 220-pound pilot, largest
driver in the field, had all the
know-how to make It a winning
jaunt for the top prize expected
to reach nearly $70,000. 1
But it was a sad finish for
Vukovich, a 33-year-old midget
star from Fresno, Calif., who wai
making his second start in the
Memorial Day chase. He had
been in control for nearly every
lap of the race before he went
out after 192 laps. '
He lost control of the car on
the northeast turn and slashed
into the wall. Luckily he escaped
injury, climbed from the car and
leaped over the wall to escape
the rush of the 20 vehicles still
running when Ruttman finished.
More than 1 5 0,000 fang
watched Vukovich blaze a trail
to the checkered flag in a red
hot battle with Ruttman and
then lose the coveted cloth only
minutes trom his goal.
Ruttman led the race for 43 ot
its 200 laps, while Vukovich wai
In front for 151 laps and Jack
McGrath paced the field for lix
laps.
Jim Rathman, Chicago, finish
ed second, two laps behind the
winner.
He, too, was In the chase from
the start and never was far off
the pace. s
Vukovich Com Back
Ruttman and Vukovich, though
waged the real battle of the day.
After McGrath had led for aix
laps, Vukovich went in front for
five laps before Ruttman took
over first place for one lap. Then
Vukovich came back and stayed
in front until he stopped after 60
laps for fuel and tires.
Ruttman held first place then
until the 83rd lap when h took
on fuel and tires and Vukovich
regained the lead. Again Vuko
vich had to stop and he came in
at 135 laps for tires and fuel and
Ruttman held first.
Ruttman Maki Stop
But Ruttman needed fuel and
tires too and after 148 laps ha
came in and Vukovich wai In
front, to stay until hit mishap.
The winning time was thre
hours, 52 minutes and 41.11
seconds.
Contrary to last year, when
