Demo Candidate
In Sharpest Blast
At Administration
Repudiation of 'War
Statements Demanded
Chicago 4U.R) Adlai E. Ste
venson made John Foster Dulles'
"brink of war" statement one
of his main campaign issues to
day with a demand that Presi
dent Eisenhower either repu
diate his secretary, of state or
get rid of him.
Stevenson's blast at- Dulles'
"shocking" statements and "sui
cidal" policy was his sharpest
attack to date on the J-isen-hower
administration.
The Democratic presidential
aspirant made the repudiate or
fire demand during a whirlwind
visit to Minnesota yesterday. He
went there to file personally in
the March 20 Minnesota presi
dential primary and returned
from St. Paul to Chicago last
night.
Russian Roulette'
Stevenson had already said
that Dulles' controversial "brink
of war" statement sounded like
"Russian roulette."
But he went far beyond thlt
in telling newsmen that "if the
President does not approve, his
course of action is clearly indi
cated." acXfpA if the
"course of action" was to fire
Dulles and Stevenson answered:
"Yes, or repudiate the state
ments." Suicidal Folly
Stevenson said that "for this
Ration to walk to the verge of
war three times in three years
while drastically reducing our
military defense for domestic
political advantage can only be
counted suicidal folly.
"I trust that the President's
silence is not to be construed as
approval of the shocking views
of his secretary of state, ate
venson said. f
"And I can hardly believe that
the President has adopted a pop
ular magazine as .the place to
announce his intentions about
war and peace in Asia," he
.added.
Peddicord's Plea
Of Guilty Denied '
Portland (U.R) William,
Clarence Peddicord, blind admit
ted extortion-plot bomber of
Meier and Frank department
store here, surprised the Circuit
Court yesterday by jumping up
to protest a plea entered for him
by his attorney.
0 Peddicord's attorney, Nicholas
Granet, pleaded his client not
guilty by reason of insanity. But
Peddicord immediately interrup
ted him and said . "I wish to
throw myself upon the Inercy
of the court and enter a guilty
Jplea and ask for immediate sen-
. tence."
Circuit Court Judge Paul
Harris denied Peddicord's re
quest and said the formal plea
of not guilty by reason of in-,
sanity would stand.
Peddicord is accused of at
tempting to extort $50,000 from
Aaron Frank, department store
head, by exploding a bomb in
the store last April 15.

Council Discusses
Off-Street Parking
Medford businessmen told the

owned off-street parking facil
ities are needed in the down

Plans Authorized
For East Side Fire
Station By Council
Preparation of plans and spec
ifications for a new east side fire
station, to be located on High
land dr. near South Siskiyou
blvd., were authorized by the
city council last night. '
City Manager Robert Duff
urged that the council speed ac
tion on the new station. He
proposed that a special council
meeting be held to approve
plans and authorize bids, and
stated that the station could be
completed within 90 days after
construction begins.
The site, which was1 recom
mended by both Duff and Fire
Chief Gordon.. Barker, is on city
owned property and has been
approved by the insurance rat
ing bureau.
Duff said $28,504.92 is avail
able, and that the station could
be. built - and equipped within
that amount.
Need for a new station, plus
the fact that the lease on the
present station expires April 7
and the owner desires to sell the
property, were given as reasons
for urgency in construction ot
the new station.
'Ideal' Location
The building site, located with
in the newly annexed southeast
Medford area was termed "ideal"
because it includes within a IY2
mile radius all the present east
side . residential area, the south
east area annexed . this week;
both existing and proposed hos
pitals' and the site of Rogue Val
ley Manor. The lV2-mile radius
also includes, a large portion of
the downtown area.
Access streets and topography
of the site are good, Duff said.

vide 170 parking spaces with
meters, and .would require an
expenditure of about $250,000.
14 Owners Present
Hansen's proposal called for
property owners in the area ben
efited to eventually pay for the
project. Fourteen property own
ers were present at the hearing
and others sent letters express
ing their feelings on the sub
ject. A second proposal which
would distribute cost between
parking lot users, merchants and
property owners, was outlined
by Otto Ewaldsen,' Chamber of
Commerce presidents
Ewaldsen and others present
objected to Hansen's program on
the basis that it would not be
fair to property owners.
Only Starting Point ,
Hansen, stressed that the pro
gram was only a starting point
to enable the council to consider
the reaction of merchants and
property owners. He suggested
that a special meeting be called
of the council as a committee to
further consider the problem.
The plan outlined by Hansen
provided that the cost be di
vided between property owners
on a basis of assessed value, front
footage, area, and distance from
the parking lots.
On this basis, in examples
cited, the total cost, which would
be paid in 10 annual installments,-would
be about $5,000 to
the Allen hotel building; $1,100
to Yellow Cab; $8,400 to the J.
C. Penney building; $2,400 to
the Wing building, and $9,500
to the Medical Center building.
Not Extensive Enough '
There was some objection to
the' plan on the basis that it was
not extensive enough. Hansen
said the proposed program would
take care of immediate parking
needs and perhaps half the need
for the next 10 years.
Ewaldsen told the group that
the; Chamber of Commerce has
done extensive research on the
off-street parking program dur
ing the past four years and con
cluded the only successful plan
must not place the cost burden
on one group.
He said that users of the lot
should pay through parking
meter fees; merchants - should
contribute through equitably in
creased business license fees;
and property owners through
pro-rated assessments in the area
benefited.
Considerable thought has been
given, Hansen said, to increas
ing the cost of business li
censes as a means of distributing
the expense among the , mer
chants. Revenue from parking
meters must legally go into the
city general fund, he said.
Eden Replies To
Political Critics

The speech was aimed at
calming domestic politics in the

late this month.
."We were elected not for six
or eight months but for five
years," he said. "I intend, if
God wills ,to be there on that

Israel Losing Battle
Against UN Censure
United Nations, N. Y. (U.R)-
Israel fought a losing battle to
day against formal censure by
the United Nations Security
Council but appeared to be av
oiding economic sanctions for its
attack on a Syrian outpost.
A Syrian demand that the
United States cut off all econom
ic aid to Israel was referred to
Washington for an answer.
U. S. Ambassador Henry Ca
bot Lodge Jr., told newsmen the
Syrian demand was "a matter
for Washington" to consider and
that no reply would be forth
coming at today's meeting of
the council.
The Syrian suggestion came
from Syrian Ambassador Ahmed
Shukairy who also asked the
council recommend that all UN
members end economic assis
tance to Israel be halted for one
year because of its Sea of Galilee
attack last month.
He asked the embargo be ex
tended in event of future Israel

Wilson, Dulles
In Disagreement
On 'Brink of War'
'All Kinds of Brinks
Defense Chief Says
Washington (U.R) Secre
tary of State John Foster Dulles
and Defense Secretary Charles
E. Wilson disagreed today on
how close the United States
came to war during the first
three years of the Eisenhower
administration.
The disagreement between the
two cabinet officers - developed
in the face of increased Demo
cratic criticism of Dulles for his
controversial "brink - of - war"
statement.
President Eisenhower will
have an opportunity to give his
views at a news conference
Thursday. -Three
War Crises
Dulles' controversial state
ment was that this country avoid
ed war three times with Com
munist China only by "walking
to the brink of conflict during
crises over the Korean armistice.
Indochina and Formosa.
Wilson told a news conference
Tuesday he "never thought we
were that close" to war in those
areas. But he conceded, "there
are all kinds of brinks." ,
Dulles defended himself vig
orously Tuesday against charges
that he had gambled dangerous
ly with the nation's peace on the
three occasions. He declared that
the nation had not moved of
its own accord but was "brought"
to the brink of war by Red
threats relating to Korea, Indo
china and Formosa.'
Calculated Risks Necessary
In a nutshell, Dulles said his
policy was to avoid war by every
honorable means but let the ene
my know in advance you are pre
pared to fight io-xlefend. vital in
terests. He said some "calculated
risks" have to be taken to at
tain peace.

Baltimore speech Tuesday night,
said the United States may have
"fewer friends m the world'
now than before Dulles made his
statement.

connection with the BLM's pro
posal to withdraw several acres
of public domain land along

The protest, Bristol said, asks
for an extension of time .for
requesting a hearing to August,
when mining representatives
along the lower Rogue have bet
ter transportation and commun
ication facilities to aid in pre
paring a formal protest.
The BLM 'has proposed with
drawing a half-mile area each

into the granting of 15 disputed,
mining claims in an Oregon for
est. -
Sen. Henry C. Dworshak (R-
Ida.) in issuing the statement said
he will do all he can to halt the
inquiry.
But the Democratic majority
on the joint subcommittee in
vestigating planned to go ahead
with hearings this afternoon on
what they call a "timber grab"
by Al Sarena Mines, Inc., of Mo
bile, Ala.
Full Title To Claim ' ,..
The mining company got full
title to the claims in the Rogue
River , national forest from the
Interior Department under the
Eisenhower administration. Pre
viously,, title was held up on the
ground that there weren't
enough minerals to justify min
ing. The subcommittee awaited a
rejort from the FBI on a dis
puted letter from R. N. Appling
of the Bureau of Mines to a su
perior. In the letter's last para
graph Appling described a tele
phone conversation with Interior
Undersecretary Clarence A.
Davis, then the department's
solicitor.
Appling handled and reported
on mineral samples from the Al
Sarena claims. He submitted the
letter to substantiate testimony
he gave Davis the results of his
report by telephone on Dec. 29,
1953. .
Earlier, Subcommittee Chair
man W. Scott (D-N.C.) said App
ling's report was mailed Jan.
5, 1954, and a 17-page decision
making the award was issued a
day later.
Typewriter Print Differs
Scott noted the letter's last
paragraph was in lighter . type
writer print- than other portions
and asked -the FBI to determine
"how much it was doctored."
, Dworshak said the hearings
are an attempt to "smear" Sec
retary of Interior Douglas Mc
Kay by "insinuations, innuen
does and charges that he is guilty
of some malfeasance.
He said he doubts that the
parent Senate Interior Affairs
Committee ever ' authorized its
subcommittee to act in the case.
He said he will raise the point
at an Interior Committee meet
ing Friday, '1 ,:
Democratic subcommittee
members said the' inquiry has
the full sanction of Senate In
terior Chairman James E. Mur
ray (D-Mont.) '
Scott said there was evidence
of "hurried action" in the case.
He said the department's award
was issued the day after App
ling's report '. was mailed from
Oregon recommending ' the
award. ,
Tells of Phone Call
- Appling was asked yesterday
if before sending in his report
he had communicated with
Undersecretary of Interior Clar
ence A. Davis who wrote the de
cision. Appling said Davis telephoned
him about eight days previously
to ask about his findings. The
geologist said he typed a report
to a superior in the Bureau of
Mines describing the phone con
versation. Robert Redwine, subcommit
tee counsel, held up the letter
and noted, that the typing on the
paragraph detailing the phone
talk was in lighter type than the
rest of the letter.

Democrat Leaders Predict
ike Will Ask for Tax Cut

taxes later this year.
Recommendation Predicted
"The administration says it is
against any tax . reduction bill
at this time," Speaker Sam Ray
burn (D-Tex.), told a Democratic

"But, mark my words, in an
election year like 1956 I predict
that before Congress adjourns
the administration will recom

Refinery Escapes
Lake Charles, La. U.R) A
130,000-barrel oil tanker blew
up at refinery docks last night,
leaving in doubt the fate of up
to 21 men. Two persons were
known dead.
In the confusion that followed
the terrific blast that shattered
windows in this nearby town.
no one could say for certain just
how many were aboard the '
Cities Service tanker Salem
Maritime.
When the tanker left New
York it had a crew of 41. Au- ,
thorities here thought there
were 50 - aboard, including- a
crew of 49 - and an insnector.-
when the accident happened. A
New York company spokesman
said the firm had reports of 23
missing. .- . ; .
Sheriff A. H. Reid Jr. said 27
members of the crew had been "
accounted for among the living,
but at mid-morning he and other
officials at the scene began
varying their figures of surviv
ors from 16 to 25.
Fire Still Burning
It was impossible to get an ac
curate account of the dead be
cause fire was still burning in'
the bowels of the stricken ship.
The missmg captain of the
tanker was identified as Capt.
John Rugman of Milton, Mass.
He has been with Cities Service
for 18 years. " :
Among the dead were L. J.
Acquillan, Port Arthur, Tex.,
and Howard Reynolds, address
unknown. They apparently were
standing on the dock when the
ship blew up and were killed in
the initial explosion.
The tanker exploded just after
it had taken on a cargo late last
night with a blast that shattered
windows in Lake! Charles.
Flames spread to three barges
tied up forward of the tanker
and they also exploded.
The tanker broke in segments
under the searing heat after it
was towed into Calcasieu River ,
Harbor away from the sprawling ;
refinery. .' .
The explosion hurled flaming
gas over a wide expanse of the
river.
Refinery Safe
"The river's still on fire and
the Cities . Service docks are
burning for about a mile along
the river," Hill said.
The refinery itself, located
about seven miles west of here,
was in no immediate danger v
from the fire. The wind was
blowing from shore.
Company officials said the
missing men, with the exception
of the inspector, were from the
tanker crew.
The tanker, with a capacity of -
130,000 barrels, was scheduled
to sail early today for Norfolk,
Va.

Johnson has been serving as

After completing survey and
installation work for the State
Civil Service Commission in
1946,' Johnson remained as 'its
first director.
the move would be aimed at
helping reelect House Republi
cans who voted against the Dem
ocratic tax-cutting plan last year.
The views expressed by Ray
burn ajid McCormack raised the
question-of whether Democrats
will attempt to seize the tax
cutting drive in advance of any
presidential recommendation.
Measure Killed
Early last year Rayburn, Mc
Cormack and other key House
Democrats became convinced
Mr. Eisenhower was . going to
call for a tax cut this January.
This prompted them to quickly
push through the House a Demo
cratic bill to cut income taxes
$20 a person effective Jan. 1,
1956. But the Senate, in the face
of administration opposition,
killed the measure.
