Injuries. ' ..
Small Tornado
At Portland, Ed Nelson, the
weather bureau's supervising
forecaster, said the description
of the formation definitely made
it tornado, although it obvious
ly was a small one.
' He said tornadoes seldom ait
strong in the Pacific Northwest
because the extremes of cold
and warm air which produce the
disastrous twisters in the Mid
west are not present in this area.
However, two years ago a tor
nado hit Corvallis, causing con
siderable damage to the down
town area. ,.
' Oregonians enjoyed mostly
fair weather Saturday, but ap
parently it was only the calm
after the storm and before the
. cold. .' ;
Small craft warnings were up
Saturday from Newport to Cape
v Blanco for up to 88 mile-per-hour
winds, with gusty breezes
also predicted for eastern Ore-
, gon. There was considerable
fog in western Oregon yester
day morning. , ' ,
The only precipitation forecast
during the week end was for
some snow showers over eastern
Oregon mountains Saturday. But
the weather man warned it
would get cold last night, with
lows of 28 and frost predicted

peratures down to 22 east of

Oil Industry Refuses
To Close Refineries
As 'Smog' Continues
Los Anfieles (U.R) Gov,
Goodwin J. Knight, rebuffed by
the oil industry in his peal to
close down temporarily all refin

$100,000 in ' state emergency

the direction of State Director
of Public Health Dr. Malcolm
H. Merrill. .
Knight ordered the state
health agency to seek "the best
scientific talent in the state and
nation" to work with it in de
termining wha t needs to be done
to attack the. smog problem.
As the area underwent its 17th
straight day of smog, . Knight
moved to quiet a rising storm
of indignation over the eye ir
ritant. Yesterday he asked the
huge Southern California oil in
dustry to shut down in . a test
period to determine how much
of the air pollutants they are re
sponsible for. The industry's
major companies rejected the re
quest for the voluntary shut
down '
Five companies rejected the
governor's request for a volun
tary shutdown.
Request Said Unreu?nabls
Reese H. Taylor, Union Oil
president, said the request was

facts and actually is not in the
public interest."

about $4,000,000 in anti-smog

"Smog Is a community prob

urday he. was certain defense

pard would exercise its privilege
and remove six members of the

murdered his wife.
The five-day-old trial was Jn

"We intend to use as many of

Caldwell, answering for Stas
sen who is abroad, declared that
"the United States has moved
promptly in extending additional
aid to the new non-Communist
government of Guatemala."
McCarthy, who has clashed
frequently with . Stassen in the

Guatemala since the revolution

Stassen. .
"I am sure you are aware of
the urgent immediate need for
aid to Guatemala if the new anti

Stronger UN Seen
In Charter Review
San Francisco U.R), The
United States hopes that the
trthcoming international re
view ol the United Nations
charter will strengthen the
world body's peace mission,
Deputy Assistant Secretary of
State David M. Wainhouse said
Saturday. . ...
The United Nations General
Assembly is expected to vote
next year to hold the charter
review conference in 1956 or
1957. . '
"We recognize that calling the
review conference might arouse
false hopes and might stimulate
efforts to rewrite the charter
which could seriously endanger
the United Nations," Wainhouse
said in an address prepared for
delivery before the Bay Area
Citizens committee for U. N.
Charter Review.
Wainhouse stressed that the
United States had not taken any
decision on what amendments,
if any, the United States would
seek at the conference. He said
the major questions would in
elude U. N. membership, secur
ity, and armaments.

ator from Idaho.
Denied Charges
After Welker released earlier
testimony that Wallace and Tay

cepted Communist support In

and John Lautner.
. r.lon H. Tavlor Insisted Sat

Progressive party m ib
He had no further comment
on the testimony released by
the Senate Internal Security
subcommittee and quoting Her
bert A. Philbrick, former FBI
undercover agent, as saying the
Communists were In complete
control of the Progressive party
when it was formed in 1948,
Tavlor To Get Chance .
Meanwhile, the Democratic
candidate for the Senate re
ceived another telegram from
Sen. Herman Welker. The Idaho
Republican confirmed that his
Internal Security subcommittee
task force would meet in Boise
prior to Nov. 2 to give Taylor
a chance to refute testimony that
the Progressive party collabor
ated with Communists". 1
The Senator said subcom
mittee investltfator would arrive
in Boise Monday. Welker asked
Taylor to "prepare to get ar
rangements started on the hear
ing you politically asked for."
: "Of course we are. going to i
hold a hearing in Boise as re
quested by you. You know of
this or you wouldn't have an-;
swered in the press as you did
hours before the time of your :
telegram," Welker said.
The Senator reierrea to a
telegram he received from Tay
lor last night asking Welker to
confirm newspaper and radio
reports that such a hearing
would be held.
"I want no more moaning as
to shortness of time because as
you know you forced this al
most impossible task upon the
committee," Welker told Taylor.
