Southern Attacks on Stevenson
Seen Clear Warning to Truman
Washington (UP) Some of
the capital's shrewdest Demo
crats Thursday interpreted new
Southern attacks on Gov. Adlai
E. Stevenson as a clear warning
to President Truman to "keep
hands off" in trying to name his
successor.
The Illinois governor had been
regarded as "potentially accept
able" to anti-civil rights South
erners until a blast by South
Carolina Gov. James F. Byrnes
which' was applauded by three
other Southern governors.
Warning To Truman
Some key Democrats includ
ing one prominent figure in the
campaign of Sen. Richard B.
Russell, 'D-Ga., said privately
that Byrnes was laying down
a warning to Mr. Truman not to
try to name his successor, but
to let a wide open convention
pick the nominee.
More ardent Russell backers
are convinced the Georgia
Democrat has a good chance
for the presidential nomination
in a deadlocked convention.
But one veteran senator who
occupies a strategic spot among
Russell's advisers felt ' that
Byrnes' open' attack may have
knocked out any chance of a
Stevenson-Russell ticket.
Russell has said he is not in-
Reds OK Repatriation
For ROK Prisoners
Panmunjom, Korea (U.P.)
Red truce teams offered Thurs
day for the first time to accept
voluntary repatriation of war
prisoners, but only for South
Koreans.
The first vague sign of a Com
munist backdown on the sole
issue blocking a Korean armistice
came in a Red proposal that all
prisoners be reclassified accord
ing to nationality. The Commu
nists also suggested secret meet
ings for "realistic discussions"
of their offer.
Chief United Nations negotia
tor Maj. Gen. William K. Harri
son at once asked for a recess
until 11 a.m. Friday (6 p.m.
Thursday PST) to study the pro
posals. BULLETINS
Berlin (U.R) Three
young American Roman Cath
olic priests who were released
by the Russians Thursday aft
er being held prisoner for 30
hours said they were seized
on the United States side of
the borderline between West
and East Berlin.
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Truman, charging that
some steel companies are en
gaged in "a conspiracy against
the public interest." said
Thursday he sees no reason
to use the Taft-Hartley Law
to end the steel strike.
Chicago (U.R) Republi
can National Chairman Guy
George Gabrielson Thursday
disagreed with the suggestion
of 23 Republican governors
that no contested delegation
to the GOP National conven
tion be permitted to vote upon
seating of itself or any other
disputed group. He said Athe
adoption of such a rule would
be contrary to all custom and
former rulings."
Texas Youngsters Serve as
Guinea Pigs in Polio Test
Houston, Tex. (UP) Thou
sands of youngsters between the
ages of one and six crowded into
clinics Thursday to act as guinea
pigs in an experiment which
could curb polio of its killing
and crippling nature.
Some 3,000 children got either
injections of the serum gamma
globulin, or of important gela
tin nobody knows who got
which as the mass experiment
began Wednesday.
They were unwilling and
frightened by the sterile need
les, but worried parents of Hous
terested in the second spot. But
his backers feel he can be in a
position to name the vice-presidential
nominee if he does not
want the nomination himself.
If Mr. Truman was concerned
by Byrnes' attack on Stevenson,
it did not show in his straight
forward speech to an Ozark audi

identify all the dead. They said
several bodies were badly man

was strewn over a wide area.
Royal Canadian mounted po

it was the worst in the company's
history in Western Canada: Both

Police Find Tracks
Thought Dunkin's;
Believed in Area
Detachment Hiking
To Suspected Cabin
State police have 'discovered
tracks that they believe were
made by George Baker Dunkin,
Police Capt. Paul Parson said
today.
It is believed Dunkin is still
in the rugged hills of northern
Jackson county, where officers
have searched for the murder
suspect for more than a week.
Captain Parson said this mor
ning that the six-man search
detachment today- is moving to
an area that they believe may
be "hot," and plan to search a
cabin in which Dunkin, who is
armed,- may be hiding.
Five-Mile Hike
The tracks were located four
or five miles from the spot
where State Officer Phil Lowd
met death from a rifle bullet
June 24. Police have a five-mile
hike in to today's search area,
Captain Parson reported.
Dunkin, a wiry little 67-year-old
prospector, who police have
characterized as perhaps having
"cabin fever" a mental aberra
tion resulting from 23 lonely
years in the wilderness has
virtually vanished into the
forest and brushland which cov
ers the 50-square-mile area on
the Jackson-Douglas county bor
der where he is being sought. He
knows every cabin and trail in
the area, and the needle-in-a-haystack
search is complicated
by his woods-wisdom and abil
ity to move around unhindered.
See Hunger as Ally
Police hope that hunger may
force Dunkin to show his hand
soon, although it is possible that
he has been able to get food.
Their belief that the tracks
they found indicate he is still in
the area is strengthened by the
fact that a "check-out" of the
Umqua river drainage, north of
the divide vhjch borders the
"search' area, failed to show any
tracks or othersign of the fugi
tive. Captain Parson said that re
sults of today's foray into the
suspected area will not be known
until tonight, when officers re
turn to their base camp and ra
dio the Medford police.

McKay Joins Request
For 'Clean' Candidate
Houston (U.R) Gov. Douglas
McKay of Oregon Thursday was
among Republican governors at
their 44th annual conference to
unite in demanding a GOP presi
dential candidate "with clean
hands."

cago national convention, signed
the telegram to the GOP nation
al committee along with 23 other

MEDFOUD, OREGON,
Truman Scolds Those
Wanting To Quit UN
Washington (UP) Presi
dent Truman said Thursday
Americans who want to pull
out of the United Nations and
"go it alone" are advocating
a course "that can only lead
to the holocaust of world-wide
war."
In what he termed his "fi
nal report" as President on
U. S. participation in the Unit
ed Nations, Mr. Truman told
Congress that certain "blind"
leaders have undermined con
fidence in the U. N. through
"partisan attacks."
No Names Called
He did not call any names,
but in the past he has directed
similar criticism at such Re
publicans as Sen. Robert A.
Taft, Gen Douglas MacArthur
and former President Herbert'
Hoover.
Expressing confidence that
Americans would reject these
"voices of despair," Mr. Tru
man also said the United
States and its U. N. partners
were "right" to take up arms
in Korea to repel Communist
aggression.
But he admitted concern
about the fact that the United

Peace Main Aim
Summing up his interest in
the U.N. over seven years in
office, Mr. Truman said his
"paramount aim" has been to
work for peace and that the
U. N. was the best route to it.
He recalled the high hopes
for the U. N. when it was or
ganized in 1945.
"But these hopes have been
dimmed by the conflicts of the
succeeding years and by the
hostile attitude of the Soviet
Union," Mr. Truman said. "As
a result, voices have been
raised, questioning the value
of the United Nations and the
need for maintaining it.
"Some of these attacks are
made in a spirit of impatience
that can only lead to the holo
. caust of world-wide war," he
said.

Russia Turns Down
American Proposal
For Investigation
50th Veto Used
On Germ Warfare
United Nations, N. Y. (UP)
Russia Thursday vetoed an
American proposal for a Red
Cross investigation of Commu
nist germ warfare charges and
the United States immediately
demanded that the United Na
tions dismiss the allegations as
"without substance and false."
U.S. Ambassador Ernest A.
Gross called upon the Security
Council to condemn "the prac
tice of fabricating and dissemin
ating such false charges, which
increased tension among nations
and which is designed to under
mine the efforts of the U.. N.
to combat aggression in Korea
and the support of the people
of the world for these efforts."
Russia's 50th Veto
Soviet delegate Jacob A. Mal
ik cast Russia's 50th veto to
block adoption of the American
proposal for an on-the-spot in
vestigation. All other council
members favored the proposal.
Gross gained the floor imedi
ately after the vote and recalled
that North Korea and Red China
had refused, with Russian back
ing, to let either the Red Cross
or the U. N.'s World Health or
ganization enter their territory
to look into the charges that U.
S. troops had used germ weap
ons against the Communist
forces.
Impartial Probe Blocked
"The negative vote of the So
viet Union," he said, "has pre
vented the Security Council
from arranging for an impartial
investigation. From these facts,
there is only one conclusion that
can be' drawn that the charges
of germ warfare made against
the U. N. forces must be pre
sumed to be utterly false."

Chicago (U.R) The Repub

claimed alike by Taft and Eisen
hower. Next up will be Missis

tests involving 43 seats.
Ike Heading East
General Ike was taking off
from Denver for a whistle stop
sortie through Nebraska and
Iowa en route to Chicago with
a promise to "roar out" as lead
er of a fight to keep the Repub
lican Party clean. Denver re
ported a fighting mad Eisenhow
er was determined to take the
five-star high command in the
bitter pre-convention battle with
Taft over contested delegates in
Louisiana and elsewhere.
Let Eisenhower roar out
against President Truman and
the Democratic administration
on his whistle stop swing, Taft
said in his regular news confer
ence here.
"I hope he roars out against
Truman, Acheson and Brannan
in the farm districts," Taft saif,
"as well as against the Republi
cans." Taft All Smiles
Eisenhower was all fight, Taft
all smiles Thursday with the
convention's presidential baljt
ting just one week distant.
"Now that I'm in the fight,
I'm irt.il with all I've got," said
the general in Denver. "After
all, I've been a fighting man all
my life."
"I'm picking up some dele
gates, losing a few," said Taft
at the news conference. "About
half of the 1,206 convention dele
gates are ready to vote for me."
One delegate vote more than
half-604 would put Taft over
and he believes he has them.
Fine Still Uncommitted
Tall came to the news confer
ence fresh from talks with Penn
sylvania's Gov. John S. Fine who
controls about 25 votes in his
delegation but isn't saying where
he is steering them. Taft said
Fine had made no promises.
The senator was smilingly un
impressed by the telegraphed ap
peal of 23 Republican governors
from the annual conference in
Houston for compromise on the
delegate contest and procedural
candidate's camps. The rules
change sought by Ikemen and
supported by the governors
would bring chaos to a political
convention, Taft believes. The
governors indirectly rebuked
Taft in their call for a candidate
"witii clean hands."
Taftiies Further Enthused
Reports of defections from
Eisenhower to Taft in New Jer
sey. North Dakota and Connecti
cut whomped up further enthusi
asm among Taft's followers.
Ikemen also claimed a couple
more delegates whom they said
previously were uncommitted.
Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge identi

Lisbon, Me., and Daniel Tyler
Jr., Brookline, Mass.

Their representatives will part

be possible to obtain a pre-hear-ing

September hearing presumably
will be in Washington, D. C,
he said.
The examiner who conducts
the hearing will take all evi
dence presented, will study it,
and then will write his recom

will include whether or not air
service should be established,
and, if so, .which carrier nuts

it.
