on the defensive. The big ques
tion was how to keep them
there.
May Take Advantage
Eisenhower himself may take
advantage of the situation next
week when he makes a couple
of public appearances. He will
go to Boise, Ida., Wednesday for
a conference of Western Repub
lican governors, and to Kansas
City, Kan., the following day for
a meetmg.pf. Republican candi
dates for office, '
These 'occasions will provide
the Republican presidential can
didate with a sounding board to
keep after the Democrats if he
desires to try to keep on the
offensive.
Invitation Declined
The feeling of "we've got 'em
on the run, boys" started early
Thursday when it was announc
ed that Eisenhower had declined
an invitation of President Tru
man to attend a luncheon and
foreign affairs briefing -in the
wnue House next Tuesday.
Mr. - Truman's offer to enter
tain Eisenhower in Washington
came after the GOP nominee
had sharply criticized a similar
visit to the capital by the Demo
cratic presidential nominee.
Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illi
nois.
After the Eisenhower rejec
tion of Mr. Truman's invitation
had been made public, the presi
dent told a news conference that
a week or 10 days ago Eisenhow
er had been offered top-secret
reports on world affairs.
Offer Not Received
This statement of the presi
dent's brought an immediate
huddle of Eisenhower's advis
ers. After considerable searching
of files Arthur H. Vandenberg,
Eisenhower's executive assist
ant, said that no such offer had
been received here.
Later it developed that Gen.
Omar Bradley, chairman of the
joint chiefs of staff, had been
asked by Mr. Truman last Thurs
day to see that Eisenhower was
offered the reports. But Bradley
said that , "being unfamiliar
with political matters," the tim
ing of the notification to Eisen
hower appeared to him to be
unimportant.

Sheldon Sackett Tells
Of Application Plans
Sheldon Sackett, publisher of
the Coos Bay Times and owner
of radio stations KROW in Oak
land, Calif., KOOS in Coos Bay
and KVAN in Vancouver,
Wash., today announced plans to
file for television outlets in Med
ford, and in Walla Walla, Wash.
In a telegram to the Mail Tri
bune, from his headquarters in
San Francisco, Sackett said the
applications to the Federal Com
munications Commission for
very high frequency channels
for the two cities would be filed
by two newly-formed corpora
tions headed by himself. The
corporations are named MED.
Inc.," and "WW, Inc.," respec
tively. Call letters will be
KMTV for Medford and permis
sion will be sought for the sta
tion to operate on channel 4
VHF.
No Television Now
Both Medford and Walla
Walla are presently unserved by
television.
Sackett said at least 30 per
cent of the common stock of
both corporations will be owned
by managers active in the con
duct of the stations or other sta
tions for which he has previous
ly made application. "Stock will
be sold or subscribed only by
men active in the operation of
the television outlets," he stated.
Contracts to equip both sta
tions have jeen confirmed, ac
cording to Sackett who said he
planned to construct a 500-watt
station here at ah estimated out
lay of $350,000 including equip
ment, buildings and working
capital. It will, if permission is
granted, have a high gain an
tenna permitting grade A tele
vision service... to .surrounding,
towns including Ashland, Central-Point,
Jacksonville, and B
plus service to Grants Pass. The
Walla Walla station outlay will
be about $400,000. -
Region Studied
The new applications, Sackett
said, follow an exhaustive re
search into the economic and so
cial background of the areas. He
added that the program struc
ture contemplates not only en
tertainment facilities to the area
served, but extensive programs
dealing with political and cul
tural life of the communities.
He said every reasonable ef
fort would be made to press for
an early grant of the applica
tions.
While new corporations are to
be formed to handle the appli
cations, control of the com
panies will rest with Sackett
who is presently, through exist
ing corporations, applicant for
television outlets in Oakland-
San Francisco, Calif ., "Vancouv
er, Wash.-Portland, Ore., and
Coos Bay, Ore. Application for
the Oakland-San Francisco sta
tion was filed in October 1947
and for the last two named sta
tions in June 1952.

Convicted Killers
Wonder at Future
As Reprieve Heard
Innocence Maintained
In Truth Serum Test
Walla Walla, Wash. (U.R) In
their cells at the Washington
State penitentiary at Walla
Walla, Wash., Utah and Turman
Wilson were wondering Friday
what the future holds for them.
Granted a 90-day reprieve by
Gov. Arthur B. Langlie Thurs
day, one of the brothers ex
pressed the wish officials would
stop investigating them.
"We wish they would stop in
vestigating us and investigate
the JoAnn Dewey case," Tur
man said quietly.
Langlia said the Wilsons main
tained their innGcence under the
influence of truth serum admin
istered Wednesday and that, al
though he doubted the validity
of the test, he felt the reprieve
would provide a safeguard
against any possible miscarriage
of justice. .
"Well, that's ' the longest one
we've gotten yet," Utah said to
his brother after Warden John
Cranor notified the brothers of
their fourth reprieve just 30
minutes before they were to be
shifted to the death cell.
Sentenced To Hang
The Wilsons are under sen
tence to hang for the 1950 kid
nap-slaying of JoAnn Dewey.
Their case has twice gone before
the U.S. Supreme court only to
have the high tribunal refuse to
review it.
The boys' mother threw her
arms around her sons and wept
Thursday when notified of the
reprieve. No arrangements had
been made by the parents for
disposal of the brothers' bodies
because they were confident of
a reprieve.
Langlie said he asked Howard
L. Barkdull, Cleveland, O.,
president of the American Bar
Association have a bar commit
tee investigate all phases of the
Wilson case.
Meanwhile, a new snarl devel
oped Thursday when Utah Wil
son, through the brothers at
torney, issued a statement which
said Sheriff Terry Schrunk,
Portland, Ore., offered him his
life in exchange for a confession
to two 1948 murders. -
Schrunk. who talked with
Utah in his" cell Thursday morn
ing, immediately denied ' the
statement and said there were
three deputies in the cell with
Utah and himself during the
questioning who would verify
his denial.
A statement issued jointly by
the brothers thanked Langlie
for the reprieve and stated that
"God doesn't choose that we
should die for these crimes that
we didn't do."

He said:
"We believe as the Soviet dele

chemical and bacteriological
weapons that paramount im
portance should be attached 'not
to the prohibition of chemical
weapons in wartime, but to the
prohibition of chemical warfare

Paul Selby Endorses
Flynn's Candidacy
For Medford Mayor
Following Mayor D. L. Flynn's
announcement yesterday that, he
will seek a third term as mayor
of Medford, the only other
avowed candidate for the posi
tion. City Council President
Paul Selby, announced this
morning that he is endorsing
the election of Flynn.
In his statement, Selby said "I
am indeed happy to learn that
Mayor Diamond L. Flynn has
reconsidered, at the insistence of
his many friends, and though
contrary to his personal wishes,
has decided to again offer to
serve the city of Medford for
another term as mayor.
Experience Important
"I know that Mayor Flynn has
served unselfishly in the past
and will wholeheartedly serve
in the future. Needless to say,
his experience in the past as
mayor and a director of, the
League of Oregon Cities is of
vast importance to the city in
meeting the many problems of
our city incidental to our
growth and expansion."
Selby added that "From my
personal experience, I know the
great amount of time and effort
that Mayor Flynn has given to
the city.
The first consideration of
any member of the council or
mayor should be the welfare of
the city, and this is shown by
Mayor Flynn by "his filing for
the position of mayor."
Robinson 'Not Candidate
Fred L. Robinson, Medford
businessman who has been men
tioned for the mayor's position,
said today that he "would not
consider seeking the post" in
view of Mayor Flynn's decision
to seek reelection.
No other candidates for the
city council or mayor posts had
filed with the city recorder by
noon today. Deadline for filing
petitions is Saturday, August 30.
However, Recorder Ralph Wood

tions must be in his hands by

MATY AS RAKOSI
New Austria Premier
Rakosi Elevation
Completes Russian
Reorganization
London (U.R) The elevation
of Matyas Rakosi to the premier
ship of Hungary completes Rus
sia's reorganization and stream
lining of Communist leadership
in its eastern European satel
lites. The formal as well as the
actual power in every country
behind the iron curtain is now
concentrated in the hands of one
man directly responsible to the
Soviet Politburo.
In Line With Policy
This centralization of power
is in line with Russia's general
tightening of control over east
ern Europe during the past year.
The satellites are becoming more
and more like' Russia itself with
each passing month.
Rakosi has been the most pow
erful Communist in Hungary
ever since his return from the
Soviet' Union with the Russian
army in 1945. He was leader and
secretary-general of the Hungar
ian Workers' Party, as the Com
munist party is known in that
satellite.- .
Was Only Deputy
But until Premier Istvan Dobi,
a one-time member of the Small
holders party who became a
convenient front for the Reds,
moved up to the figurehead post
of Hungarian president Thurs
day, Rakosi had been only one
of several deputy premiers in the
government.
As new premier, Rakosi has
moved into a position identical
with that of four other Com
munist east European bosses. All
hold top positions in both the
Communist party and the gov
ernment in their respective
states.
