rand Jury Probe
Threaten
on the- Grace Line's Pier 57
Monday after the commission re
voked the work permit of an ex-
convict longshoreman. It spread
up the Hudson piers yesterday,
tying up more than a dozen
ships including the Cunard
Liner Queen Mary.
Plea Answered
Longshoremen refused to re
turn to work at the 8 a.m.
whistle today. But Capt. Wil
liam Bradley, president of the
Independent International Long
shoremen's Association, con
tinued to plead and shortly be
fore 9 a.m. the men returned to
work at all except the original
ly affected pier and adjacent
Grace Line docks.
"Go back to work or you'll
blow our union sky high," Brad
ley roared at the milling long
shoremen. "We are doing our best to
straighten out this problem," he
said, "and if it is not straight
ened out -in two weeks we will
be down here to lead you."
Against Commission
The strike was directed, not
against employers but against
the Waterfront Commission set
up by the states of New York
and New Jersey, to police all
aspects of dock operations. The
commission last week revoked
the temporary registration of a
longshoreman on the grounds of
a criminal record dating back
to 1924.

Officials To Be
Early Witnesses
In Controversy
Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul L.
Patterson is going to Pendleton
tomorrow night to dedicate a
new armory provided a suddenly-developed
trip to the
Multnomah county grand jury
in the Liquor Commission con
troversy doesn't upset his time
table.
Multnomah County District
Attorney William M. Langley
indicated he would call Gov.
Patterson and Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton as early
witnesses in the grand .jury
study of charges by Thornton
that the governor has not re
leased all the evidence and in
formation uncovered by Port
land Attorneys Robert Maguire
and Howard Bobbitt in an in
vestigation to charges of irregu
larities on the part of certain
Liquor Commission personnel.
Gov. Patterson says Thornton
has all the information the gov
ernor's office has. Others have
pointed out that George S.
Woodworth, Liquor Commission
attorney and Thornton's own as
sistant attorney general, has
been advised in all phases of the
investigation. .
Files Amended Petition
As a new phase in the con
troversy that has brought a
sharp exchange of words be
tween the governor and the at
torney general, i Thornton filed
an amended petition in Marion
County Circuit Court late yes
terday demanding : that he be
given all records of the investi
gation into charges of alleged
briberies and pay-offs concern
ing Liquor Commission person
nel!. The filing means a new hear
ing in the case by Judge George
Duncan, who ruled last week
that Thornton's mandamus ac
tion was not the proper way to
force an investigation.
Thornton said the amended
petition makes more definite
some of the allegations in the
original mandamus request. He
charges that the commission is
obstructing his investigation and
further charges that the docu
ments he wants to see have been
in possession at all times of the
commission or the men who con
ducted the investigation.

Government Speeds
Relief Program
For Flooded Areas
Special Session
Of Congress Doubted
Washington (U.R) The gov
ernment today rushed plans for
an 80 million dollar relief pro
gram to carry out the "total
war" President Eisenhower has
ordered against northeastern
flood damage.
Mr. Eisenhower was to re
ceive a personal report on the
program's progress late today
after returning from a speech in
Philadelphia and before resum
ing his Colorado vacation.
He and his top officials map
ped tentative plans for vastly ex
panded disaster aid at a White
House conference late Tuesday.
They met after the President's
dramatic flight over the flood
stricken area and after his
pledge to do "everything pos
sible" even to calling a spe
cial session of Congress if ne
cessary to speed government
aid to the area.
Special Session Unlikely
Congressional leaders general
ly expressed doubt that a special
session would be necessary to
provide funds for the relief pro
gram. But Presidential Press
Secretary James C. Hagerty said
it was still possible such a ses
sion would be summoned.
The White House began con
tacting congressional leaders
Tuesday night on plans for the
relief program and asking for
their opinions.
Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon ''3.. Johnson told re
porters the President already
has "considerable authority" to
act in using funds for flood re
lief without a special session of
Congress. But he said he is sure
that if more authority is needed,
Congress would grant it.
Rayburn's Endorsement
Speaker ' Sam Rayburn said
that "if the President, without
calling Congress into session,
wants to use emergency funds
for relief of the disaster area, he
would have my endorsement."
The White House said govern
ment aid would go mainly to
the repair and rehabilitation of
such public facilities as streets,
water systems, schools and
clearing of debris which might
become a health hazard.
Civil Defense Director Val
Peterson, in charge of the relief
program, said the President "has
declared total war on the effects
of the flood disaster, and we
are trying to move with all of
the resources of the government
to alleviate this situation."
Money Distribution
He said state-by-state spend
ing under the program probably
would be as follows:
Twenty five million dollars in
both Connecticut and Pennsyl
vania; $15,000,000 each in New
Jersey, New York and" Rhode
Island.
This amounts to $0,000,000
but Peterson said the' final fig
ure may be as high as $100,000,
000. (See story on Page 12) .
Blaze Uncontrolled

Some 100 San Quentin prison

The blaze, which is spreading
fast over the tinder dry area,
was discovered shortly after 3

Deranged Airman
Kills 3, Hurts 8
In Wild Gunfight
Hundreds of Bathers
Terrorized by Chase
Broadstairs, England (U.R)
A deranged Negro airman today
fatally shot two U.S. fliers and
an RAF corporal, and wounded
eight others in a wild gunflight
and chase through a U.S. air
base and this crowded beach re
stort. The airman, identified as Na
poleon Green, an air base ship
ping room clerk, was cornered
after terrorizing hundreds bath
ing or sunning themselves on
the beach, and ended his own
life with two shots from his .30
caliber Army carbine.
British police and hospital
sources identified one of the
American victims as Air Police
man Nelson Gresham, Philadel
phia, r
Identification Delayed
American Air Fore sources
refused to identify the Ameri
cans killed and wounded until
notification of next of kin.
British police said four of the
wounded were American service
personnel and three were Brit
ish women employees of the air
base. A British male civilian also
was reported wounded.
The British Air Force corpor
al killed was identified by the
RAF as Cpl. H. P. Grayer, and
the third victim was said by Brit
ish sources to have been a U.S.
Air Force master sergeant.
Green also struck and fired at
a fourth woman employee of the
air base, who escaped unharmed.
Trapped on Beach
After his march of death
across the Manston base, Green
slipped past guards at the gate,
commandeered a car and forced
the driver, at gunpoint, to drive
him to this popular beach re
sort. Air Force officials said they
had no idea what triggered
Green's tragic act.
He finally was trapped at the
rocky tip of the Broadstairs
beach by a posse of American
and British air and civilian po
lice, led by Col. H. B. Manson,
commander of the American unit
based at Manston.
Green was armed with a .30
caliber Army carbine and a .45
caliber automatic pistol.
He raced across the beach,
crowded with hundreds "of wo
men and children, as beach at
tendants and police sounded an
alarm and led the bathers to
safety.
Accidental Blast
Disrupts Service
About 75 people in the Buck
shot Hill rd. area were out of
water for almost four hours last
night after the accidental blast
ing of a 23-inch pipeline coming
from Big Butte springs, accord
ing to Robert Lee, assistant city
water superintendent.
The accident occurred at -4:30
p.m. when men working for Den
Herder and Strobel, contractors,
set a charge of dynamite too
near the underground pipeline
while installing a wter main
for the Grandview water dis
trict, Lee said. The line is locat
ed on Buckshot Hill rd., between
Springbrook and Brookdale rds.
One of two 23-inch pipes
bringing water into - Medford
from Big Butte, the break re
portedly was "very hard to con
trol." Although ' the eight-inch
split was repaired in 15 minutes,
it took more than three hours to
stop the water and then start it
again. The full extent of dam
ages is still unknown, Lee added.
First Polio Case
Reported in County
Jackson county's first case of
poliomyelitis has been reported
to the county health office.
Dr. A. Erwin Merkle, health
officer, said a nine-year-old
Medford boy has a mild, non
paralytic case. The boy had been
sick for about 10 days before
the case was diagnosed as polio.
The case is the first contracted
in Jackson county this year com
pared to eight cases at this time
last year. Last year's total num
ber of polio cases here was 13.
Earlier this year a Ukiah,
Calif., child received treatment
for polio here, but the, case was
not contracted in Ja c k s o n
county.
Soviet Subversion
Not in Peace Plait
President Asserts
Philadelphia U.R) President Eisenhower said today the
United States "can never accept" a divided Germany, Russian
satellites and continued Communist subversion "as a part of the
peace we desire and seek."
He also said this nation must not, in its "eagerness to avoid
war," make an agreement that would sell out "the freedom of
men lor the pottage of a false peace."
Mr. Eisenhower said the United States asserted at Geneva
and we shall always hold that there can be no true peace which
involves acceptance of a status quo in which we find injustice to
many nations, repressions of human beings on a gigantic scale,
and constructive effort paralyzed in many areas of fear."
"The spirit of Geneva," if it is to provide a healthy atmosphere
for the .pursuit of peace, if it is to be genuine and not spurious,
must inspire all to a correction of injustices, an observance of
human rights and an end to subversion organized on a world- wide
scale," he declared.
Cannot Accept Wrongs as Part of Peace "
"The division of Germany cannot be supported by any argu
ment based on boundaries or language or racial origin. The domi
nation of captive countries can no longer be justified by any
claim that this is needed for purposes of security. An international
political machine operating within the borders of sovereign nations
for their political and ideological subversion, cannot be explained
away as a cultural movement.
"In justice to others and to ourselves, we can never, accept
those wrongs as a part of the peace that we desire and seek."
The President's philosophy on peace was outlined in a speech
prepared for delivery to the American Bar association convention.
He spoke in front of Independence Hall as part of an association
program marking the John Marshall bicentennial. Marshall was a
noted chief justice of the United States.
He was to return to Washington after his address for a confer- '
ence on the government's flood relief program and then depart
for Denver to resume his Colorado vacation. '
Geneva, the President said, "spells for America, not stagnation,
but opportunity opportunity for our own people and for people
everywhere to realize their just aspirations."
Enduring international Environment
Mr. Eisenhower said that "the peace we want the product of
understanding and agreement and law among nations is an en
during international environment based on justice and security.
It will reflect enlightened self-interest. It will foster the concentra
tion of human energy . . . for the advancement of human standards
in the areas of mankind's material, intellectual and spiritual life."
The Chief Executive said he believes this kind of peace is not
out of the world's grasp.
"At times it may seem hopeless, far beyond human, capacity
to reach," he said. "But has any great accomplishment in history
begun with assurance of its success?
"We must learn to be firm but friendly," he said. "We must be
tolerant but not complacent. We must be quick to understand an
other's viewpoint, honestly assumed.
"But we must never agree to injustice for the weak, for the un
fortunate, for the underprivileged, well knowing that if we accept
destruction of the principle of justice for all, we cannot longer
claim justice for ourselves as a matter of right."
He said that "in the search for justice, we can make our system
an even more gorious example of an orderly government devoted
to the preservation of human freedom and man's individual oppor
tunities and responsibilities."
World Opinion Trial on Two Systems
He said the case of the American vs. the Communist system
"is on trial before the' bar of world opinion," with each claiming
it seeks, above all else, an enduring peace.
out. me iinai judgment on xnem . . . wiu aepena as mucn on
the march of human progress within their own borders, and on
their proved capacity to help others advance, as on the tranquil
lity of their relations with foreign countries," Mr. Eisenhower
stated.
The jury, he said, is made up of the hundreds of millions of
"newly awakened peoples" that are now marching "toward oppor
tunity to work and grow and prosper, to demonstrate their self-,
reliance, to satisfy their aspirations of mind and spirit."
". . . the fruits of peace are manifold and rich," the Chief
Executive told the lawyers, "particularly in this atomic age; be
cause war could be the extinction of man's deepest hopes, because
atomic war could be race suicide."
