Kefauver Charges Scheme Afoot For Synthetic Stevenson Draft Chicago U.R) Sen. Esrtes Kefauver Wednesday accused Jacob M. Arvey, Democratic na tional committeeman, from Ill inois, of conniving and scheming for a "synthetic draft" of Gov. Adlai Stevenson as the Demo cratic presidential nominee. The Tennessee senator also told a cheering crowd of 400 of his supporters for the Democrat ic presidential nomination that he would "not accept or consid er" the vice presidential nomin ation. Toughest Speech It was Kefauvor"s toughest speech to date and came as forc es of Averell Harriman and Ke fauver worked to pool their strength and stop a Stevenson bandwagon movement. Arvey, a power in the party, has been pushing the nomination of Stevenson despite the govern or's reluctance. Kefauver told a foot-stamp ing, cheering crowd at a break fast meeting in the Congress hotel, that Stevenson has ex pressed no stand on labor, civil rights, and other issues. "Do you know where Steven son stands on labor?" Kefauver asked. "No, no," the crowds shouted. "Are you going to allow a draft?" "No, no," his backers roared. State of Confusion Kefauver said that the fight over, the loyalty pledge issue in the convention is in 'a state of confusion," and that he will not accept the peace proposal of Sen. Blair Moody of Michigan unless it carries an outright pledge that Southern delegates will do their best to assure that the candidates chosen at the con vention are on the ballot in their states in November.

Kefauver's floor leader, Pitt Tyson Maner, said Stevenson supporters are led by "a guy named Arvey who has a pipe line to Springfield and wants to extend it to Washington."

James Peebles, manager of the Portland Social Security Ad ministration office, said about 60,000 Oregon beneficiaries were affected by legislation signed Friday by President Tru man providing increases of S5 a month or 12V per cent of what previously was received, which ever is larger. Some Get State Aid Some 5,000 will receive no ac tual boost because, in addition to receiving federal social security pensions, they get supplemental aid from state welfare funds. The federal increase will be added to benefits, but the state aid will be reduced by a similar amount. "- The new federal legislation also authorizes aid to public as: sistance recipients the - aged, blind, totally disabled and de pendent children to be in creased from $3 to $5 a week. About 35,000 persons in Oregon are involved. City Dads Ponder When is a Hedge Really a Fence When is a hedge a fence? That is something the City of Medford is trying to decide. A woman appeared at the city council meeting last night to object that a hedge next to her house is 14 feel high. Fences are limited to a height of four feet, she said, and some cities Los Angeles and Portland have declared hedges are the same as fences and liable to the same restric tions. Looking at the city ordin ance regarding fences, the council decided that it needs clarification. "It leaves us on the fence," Councilman Paul Selby said seriously. The matter was referred to the superintendent's office and the city attorney for further study. Mayor Diamond Flynn said he expected some action to be taken before the next council meeting. Captain John B! Montgomery of the frigate ."Portsmouth" raised the American flag in Portsmouth Plaza, San Fran cisco, July 9, 1846. men, who were working in the prison garden outside the walls of the penitentiary, became in toxicated by drinking pruno, a liquor made by fermenting fruit juice. They climbed into a pick up truck owned by the prison and raced away down the street only to crash into a- house two blocks away. The inebriated convicts were taken into custody by citizens of the neighborhood and held un til prison officials and guards arrived, according to Deputy Warden Larry O'Brien. Long Criminal Record McDonald was sentenced to serve 15 years on Aug. 21, 1945 from Multnomah county for as sault and robbery while armed with a dangerous weapon.

Unique Passion Play Scheduled Aug. 4 to 8 Portland The American passion play, "The Gift of God," will be shown for the second season at the Reed college cam pus here, August 4 to 8 at 8:30 p.m. The play differs from most plays of its type in that the part of Christ is not played by a vis ible actor, according to the auth or and producer, the Rev. Dr. Louis Harrison Kaub. "But He is there," Dr. Kaub said. The play is presented without admissino by the Portland Meth odist Ministers' association. Its cast numbers 150 and there is a choir of 100 voices. The play is nonsectarian and is intended as "an adventure in worship." "Certain parts of the Portland production were superior to the famed German- Oberammergau passion play," according to Dr, Ralph Walker, of First Baptist church in Portland, who has seen both productions.
