OJ.R) D . fenta Attorney Thtodor Ros enburg took a shot of whiskay and a swallow of beer in a courtroom Wednesday whil defending Florio Corsetto, of Paierson, N.J., on a drunken ness charge but all for naught. Rosenburg drank the liquor and had the judge smell his breath in an attempt to refute evidence that Corietto's breath smelled boozy when he was arrested. The judge allowed that Rosenburg's breath didn't smell bad at all after the drinks but found Corsetto guilty anyway. Weather Brings Snow and Rain By UNITED PRESS The weather dealt wintry snows to the North and pounding rains to the South today. A full-blown snow storm raged over Montana. Lewiston had four inches of new snow and more snow spread eastward into the Dakotas. It was 24 degrees at Cut Bank, Mont., and well below freezing elsewhere in the area. In the South, skies cleared over Texas in the wake of four days of flooding rains which killed at least six persons. The Lone Star state felt the last lash of the storm yesterday in 100 mile per hour winds which hit the Houston Galveston area, ripping away a warehouse roof and rolling a freight car several hundred feet down a siding. Although, flash floods fell back, the weather bureau warned that the Sabine river in East Texas may hit flood stage tomorrow. It said livestock should be moved out of the riv er's lowlands. Stevenson Flies To Barkley Funeral San Francisco (U.R) Adlal Stevenson interrupted his cam paign tour of California today to fly east for the funeral of Sen. Alben Barkley. Stevenson left San Francisco late last night for Paducah, Ky. He will return tomorrow to Los Angeles and resume his tour then. He is bidding for the Golden state's 68 votes in the Democrat ic National convention. The former Illinois governor arrived in San Francisco yes terday from Oregon. He spent the day making public appear ances in various parts of the city. On a local television program last night, he said America had the two-fold duty of making clear its sympathy for the col onial peoples of the world, but at the same time preserving the strength of the western alliance. Klamath Ballot Uproar Subsides Klamath alls (U.R! The uproar that arose here Tuesday with the discovery that the Kla math county ballot did not have a space for Democratic presiden tial write-in votes subsided somewhat today. County Clerk Charles Delap pointed out that the error in printing up the ballot would be rectified and those already sent to absentee voters will be called in and new ballots with a space for presidential write-in votes will be forwarded to the voters. The ballots printed were only those for absentee voters. The regular county ballot has not yet been printed. Ex-Brazil President On Yay To New York Rio De Janeiro (U.R) For mer President Joao Cafe Jr. left for New York' Wednesday to un dergo medical treatment. Cafe stepped down from the presidency, last November be cause of a heart attack. A sub sequent army coup prevented his resumption of office. Three-Quarter-Inch Boards Recommended Portland (U.R) West coast lumbermen learned here today that the American Lumber Standards committee has recom mended that three-quarter inch boards be accepted as standard in the lumber industry. The ALS decision represented a victory for the West Coast in dustry which pioneered the new dimension and then was given a wrist slapping by the Federal Housing Administration for act ing without ALS sanction. The Southern Pine Associa tion protested the new dimen sion at the meeting of the ALS committee in Chicago. It wanted the three-quarter inch rule to apply only to seasoned lumber. The ALS recommended the new thickness for boards regardless of moisture content. Morgan Sees Taker In 'Giveaway' Reward Portland (U.R) Howard Morgan, state Democratic chair man, said today he believed he had found a taker to an offer of $1000 by former Republican State Senator Rex Ellis of Pen dleton to anyone who could prove "give-away" charges against Douglas McKay or Pres ident Eisenhower. Morgan cited the May edition of Harper's magazine and an article entitled "Republican Giveaways." He said it speci fied "no less than five ..." Morgan sent a letter to the magazine and suggested that if the editors could not agree on proper distribution "it would make a most appropriate contri bution to the reelection cam paign of one of Oregon's fore most natural resources, Senator Wayne Morse." Elmer Deetz Sees One Term Enough Salem (U.R) Elmer Deetz said yesterday he . thought a United States senator should serve only one term in the Sen ate and then come home and try to live under some of the laws he passed. Deetz, a candidate for the Re publican nomination for the senate, arrived here after a cam paign swing through southwest ern Oregon. The "gallon jug" dairyman said he thought senators would not be so generous with the tax payers' money if they came back after one term and had to help pay for "large unnecessary appropriations." Former Bend Reporter Ft. Benning Commander Honolulu (U.R) Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Powell, a former re porter for the Bend, Ore., Bulle tin, yesterday was named com mander of Fort Benning, Ga., and commandant of the infantry center there. The 53-year-old Powell, a na tive of Monmouth, Ore., is cur rently acting commander of the Pacific Army. He will assume his new post in mid-August. Full Speed Urged In Manufacture Of Salk Vaccine Washington (U.R) The gov ernment put the heat on health authorities today to keep Salk inoculations going full speed during the polio season to as sure protection for at least 53, 000.000 persons by this fall. Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele said he confidently ex pects an unprecedented flood of vaccine in the next few months more than enough to finish giving two and three shots to pregnant women and children under 15. But he warned the nation's physicians and health officers that if the new goal is to be reached, they must start plan ning immediately to expand their vaccination programs and to continue them straight through the polio season. Programs Called Off Most communities called off their innoculation programs dur ing the summer last year be cause of the fear of some medi cal authorities that injections during the polio season might provide paralysis' in some chil dren who already had been ex posed to the disease. But Scheele discounted the danger. "The total preventive effect of the vaccine is much greater than any slight" hazard of provocation" he said. "Evi dence accumulated during 1955 supports this conclusion." Scheele urged the continua tion of shots during the polio season at a meeting here Wednesday with 31 representa tives of the medical profession, state health officers, the De fense Department, and the Na tional Foundation for infantile Paralysis. Democratic Presidential Contest Beginning To Come Out of Blur Lyie C Wilson By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The Dem ocratic presidential nomination contest is beginning to come out of its fuzzy blur. For exam ple, Adlai E. S t e v e n son now has pub licly recog nized Gov. Averell Harri m a n, rather than Sen. Estes Kefauver, a s "my opponent" in the pre-con-vention race. Harriman has ad mitted nothing. But he is off shortly on a big speaking tour and Tammany boss Carmine De Sapio is acting very much like the manager of an active can didate. Another example: New York's Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr. and Sen. Herbert H. Lehman showed up last week for the SlOO-a-plate dinner tendered Ste venson in New York City. Harri man and DeSapio were notably absent. The political experts who an alyze such things, put Wagner's and Lehman's speech-' through the analyzer. They were warm and friendly but hardly all-out, do-or-die for Stevenson. That would seem to be a reflection of the very much narrowed lead Stevenson appears to have now over other contestants. The mayor and the senator evidently want a little freedom of action. Unproven Rumors Sparking Stevenson's state ment that Harriman was a rival for the Democratic nomination may have been probably was a suspicion that the wealthy governor could be a source of campaign funds for Kefauver. There have been consistent but unproven reports that Harriman was contributing to the Ke fauver pre-convention campaign. That would be good politics because Harriman's sole chance of being nominated depends on stopping Stevenson. The gov ernor proclaims himself to be an inactive candidate, at most. An inactive candidate cannot hope to stop an active candidate such as Stevenson. Kefauver might stop him, however, and it would be a favor to Harriman if he did so. The stand-out developments in Columbia, Willamette Rivers Continue Fall Portland (U.R) The Colum bia and Willamette rivers in the Portland area continued to fall today and the Willamette dropped below flood stage'. The weather bureau forecast a continued falling trend for the streams for 'the next three to four days with little change in tributaries.'. The Columbia this morning was 17.1 feet at Van couver, Wash., 2.1 feet over flood stage. The Willamette was at the same' 17. J. level here but flood stage in Portland is 18 feet. Meanwhile, the weather bu reau said much of Oregon could expect showers through Friday with most of the - precipitation occurring in southern Oregon from a low pressure area off the northern California coast. the past five months' of Demo cratic politicking have been Ste venson's slump as rated by the polls and the rise of Missouri's Sen. Stuart Symington. From nowhere, Symington rose to third place behind Stevenson and Kefauver in the Gallup Poll published last Sunday. Likely Compromise Pick Symington is the likely com promise choice if the Democratic National Convention comes to stalemate next August between Stevenson and' Kefauver. For mer i President Truman might have a hand in that. His recently published memoirs revealed a holdover of resentment against Stevenson's 1952 campaign tac tics. Mr. Truman was more re sponsible than any other man for Stevenson's nomination. Once nominated, Stevenson waved Mr. T. aside, seemed even to reckon him a campaign liabil ity. Kefauver offended Missouri's first citizen by licking him in the 1952' New Hampshire pri mary. Mr. Truman is not likely to forget that. He is indebted both to Harriman and to Sym ington for past favors and might go for either if Stevenson or Kefauver faltered. For what it may be worth. Frank E. McKinney had some political reports tb make recent ly. McKinney was briefly Mr. Truman's Democratic National Committee chairman. He's from Indiana and knows politics. Mc Kinney recently swung through the states feeling pulses. He re ported Stevenson had . a bulge" on the field, although not much. He rated Kefauver and Harri man next. McKay Offers Record As Campaign Plank Hillsboro (U.R) Douglas McKay offered his record of 26 years of public service as one of the strongest planks in his campaign platform for United States senator at a Republican candidates' night here last night. McKay recalled the vote he received for governor was the highest any governor had . ever received in Oregon and that 12 of the 14 years he spent in the The Danube river, ene of Eu rope's vital waterways, travels a route of 1,700 miles, draining one-tenth of the entire contin ent before it spills its great vol ume into the Black sea. State Senate, he was chairman of the Roads and Highways com mittee. The former interior secretary is scheduled to speak in Albany today and also to visit Waldport and Newport in his drive to capture the Republican nomina tion in the May 18 primary.

(U.R) Monroe Sweetland, Democratic candidate for secretary of state' and a leader in the fight to have power company surcharges re funded, expressed disappoint ment today at the ruling of the state Supreme Court which up-: held the legality of the surcharges. "After a battle lasting almost four years," he said, "Oregon's Supreme Court has dashed our hope that the four million dol lar surcharge extracted from 300,000 rate payers would be : refunded." ! The Supreme Court yesterday held valid the surcharges made during a water shortage in 1952.
