Cleveland Ripped
By Strong Winds;
Five Listed Dead
Two Boys Die When
Cafe Is Leveled
Cleveland, O. OJ.R) The
Cleveland police department
listed six dead last night, in
cluding two boys trapped in a
levelled tavern, in the wake of
a severe thunderstorm which
sent near tornado winds through
the city's west side.
One man was killed in a hit
skip traffic accident during the
storm.
. No report has been made on
the number of injured, but west
side hospitals were jammed with
residents seeking treatment.
Trapped in Cafe
The two boys, and another
person, were trapped in the
Scenery cafe which collapsed at
tne height of the storm. Seven
other patrons were in the cafe
but police managed - to drag
them from the debris and rush
ed them to hospitals. No report
on their condition has been re
leased. ' $
Another casualty, a 28-year-
old man, was also listed to the
tavern collapse. Two men died
when they touched live wires
The two dead boys were aged
seven and five and were broth
ers.
The storm hit the west side
about 9:30 last night. The wea
ther bureau at .Cleveland- Hop
kins airport plotted its course
as three miles north of the air
port through the west side rest
dential district.
The winds at the airport were
clocked at 70 ' miles per hour,
but the weather bureau said they
were much stronger in the main
path of the storm.
Police and fire crews worked
desperately to clear live wires
from the streets. One suburb re
ported its gas mains had burst
in several locations, and trees
lying across almost every main
thoroughfare blocked rescue op
erations. Arraignment Sei

Search Continues
For Missing Plane
In SW Washington
Vancouver, Wash, U.R)
Search for a missing private
plane with four Southern Cali
fornians aboard centered in
southwestern Washington Satur
day after a fisherman reported
seeing a smoking plane north of
Ridgefield, Wash.
Ray Murray of Vancouver
told search officials that he spot
ted a small plane belching smoke

the junction of the Lewis river
and Lake Merwin, about 40
miles northeast of Ridgefield.
Additional Planes . . . , j
Maj. Al Larson of the Civil
Air Patrol here immediately
sent additional search planes and
a helicopter to the area. Larson
said he also was checking to de
termine if any other small planes
were in the area at the time.
Murray said he did not see the
plane close enough to determine
whether it was the red and white
Cessna 170 which was reported
missing Friday on a flight from
Renton, Wash., to Eugene, Ore.
Eight planes based at Pearson
Field here were covering an
area south to Salem in the search
for A. D. Posten, pilot of the

Spirited Write-in
Campaign Is Among
Primary Highlights
Portland (U.R A spiriited
Democratic presidential write-in
campaign and a battle for the Re-
publican senatorial nomination
highlight the Oregon May 18 pri
mary election.
Out to capture Oregon's 16
delegates to the Democratic nom
inating convention are presiden
tial hopefuls Adlai Stevenson
and Estes "Kefauver. That both
think it important to win the
Oregon delegation is attested by
the fact that while neither is on
the ballot each has made whirl
wind appearances in the state
and each plans to spend three
days next week touring the state
in vigorous campaigns for write-
in votes.
In Oregon, nomination con
vention delegates are pledged to
support the presidential candi
date winning the largest num
ber of votes- in the primary.
Write-in votes are counted.
Ike Assured Delegates
President Eisenhower is as
sured Oregon's 18 GOP dele
gates. He is unopposed for the
Republican presidential nomina
tion. The only other contest which
has aroused much interest is the
Republican senatorial nomina
tion race between Douglas Mc
Kay, resigned as Interior secre
tary to make the race, and Phil
lip Hitchcock, former state sen
ator and prominent church lay
man. McKay entered the contest
with the blesing of President
Eisenhower and has the back
ing of most of the state's influen
tial GOP leaders. But Hitchcock
has campaigned strenuously and
some party politicans feel he has
picked up considerable strength,
especially among the church and
working people.
Both candidates have pitched
their "appeals 'to 'the 'voters "on
the theme that Democratic Sen.
Wayne Morse must be beaten in
November. The only difference
arising between them is which
has the better chance of suc
ceeding against Morse.
Others in Race
Elmer Deetz, a Canby dairy
man, and George Altvater, Port
land city employe, also are on
the GOP senatorial ballot, but
they have done little campaign
ing in their first attempts to gain
national office.
Morse, the Republican's No. 1
target in November, has only to
ken opposition on the Demo
cratic ticket from Woodrow Wil
son Smith, a 44-year-old Hood
Rive rmechanic who is largely
unknown outside his home town.
Smith's main efforts have been
directed toward having Morse's
name removed from the Demo
cratic ballot. Smith claimed the
senator was not a true Democi5t.
The courts overruled him.
It will be Morse's first attempt
to hold his seat as a Democrat.
He was elected six years ago as
a Republican. In 1952, he left the
GOP to become an independent
and later switched his registra
tion to Democrat. . ' ?
Congressmen Unopposed '
In the congressional contest,
Reps. Harris Ellsworth and Sam
Coon are unopposed on the GOP
ballot and Rep. Edith Green has
no orjposition on the Democratic
ticket. Rep. Walter Norblad is
opposed by R. F. Cook, a Silver
ton turkey rancher. Running for
the Democratic nomination in
Norblad's district are Jason Lee,
Salem attorney, and Don Meth
eny. Brooks farmer. In , Coon's
district, Al Ullman, who was de
feated two years ago by Coon,
and A. E. Glidewell of Hermis
ton are competing for the Demo
cratic nomination.

Enforcing Law Best
Cure for Shortage,
Porter Declares
"Knocking out the transit
lumber shippers is not the way
to correct the box car shortage,"
Charles O. Porter, Eugene at
torney and Democratic candi
date for Congress, said Satur
day night before a small crowd
at the Medford Labor temple.
"Enforcing the law is the best
solution," he declared.
Congressman Harris Ells
worth's bill on this subject, ac
cording to Porter, works on
"this same false premise."
Porter criticized the Interstate
Commerce commission for its
order in April forbidding lum
ber shipments except on firm
orders.
"The Commission should have
considered that they were issu
ing a death sentence to a proved
method of ' lumber distribution,
a method that accounted for ap
proximately $162 million of in
come to Oregon last year," he
said.
Anticipated freight car short
ages this summer and fall must
be provided for by the Southern
Pacific, Porter declared, citing
federal law to that effect.
"The ICC has the duty to pr-
der the Southern Pacific to furn
ish the reasonably anticipated
car supply, even if it means
working week ends and building
more cars and borrowing cars
from other railroads. This duty
was established by law in 1920
and has been re-affirmed time
and again in the courts," he stat
ed. Porter also spoke on the Al
Sarena mining controversy and
declared that Douglas McKay is
off base" on mining laws and
facts.
He further stated that public
loss of money in the Al Sarena
case is important, but he said the
wrong attitude of McKay, Ells
worth and other public officers
is more important.
He said "McKay has been mor
ally indifferent to losing timber
in the Rogue River National for
est and does not feel responsibil
ity for our national forests or
any part of our public domain."
McKay Says Business
Kept Power Price Low
Eugene U.R) Douglas
McKay, told a gathering of Re
publican women here Friday
that low power rates in the Co
lumbia river power system had
been maintained by good busin
ess methods in the Eisenhower
administration.
The former Interior Secretary
now a candidate for the Repub
lican nomination for United
States senator said basic rates
of the Bonneville Power Admin
istration had not been raised
since they were established in
1939. He said the former Demo
cratic administration had an
nounced a rate increase for De
cember, 1954, but the Republi
cans had been able to hold the
line. ',:
McKay predicted that rates
would not have to be raised for
at least another year, despite
higher construction costs.

Eden's Government
Admits Details of
Missing Frogman
Russia Reveals Note
Exchange on Incident
London (U.R) The embar
rassed government of Prime
Minister Sir Anthony Eden ad
mitted Saturday that it told Rus
sia details of the hush-hush case
of the missing Navy frogman
on the very day it refused to
discuss the matter in Parlia
ment. Russia's revelation of a secret
exchange of notes over the dis
appearance of Commander Lion
el (Buster) Crabb near the Sov
iet criuser Ordz!ionikidze in
Portsmouth Harbor April 19 was
a "bitter shock" to Eden, sources
said. The Socialist opposition
was sure to try to capitalize
on it.
Laborite leaders demanded
that the government fire some
officials and make "big chang
es" at the Admiralty.
Taken by Surprise.
The Foreign Office obviously
was taken by surprise by the. ra
dio Moscow report of a Soviet
note . of .May 4 and a British
reply of May 9 regretting the
incident, it was 14 hours before
the Foreign Office, with Eden's
permission, admitted that the
Moscow radio was accurate.
Laborites rose to the political
bait. On May 9, while Britain
told Russia about the frogman's
disappearance and "presumed"
death, Eden told Commons he
could not discuss the case "in
the public interest."
When Labor Leader Hugh
Gaitskell charged that the 46-year-old
Crabb was engaged in
espionage, Eden refused to con
firm or deny. He did not tell
Parliament that Russia had of
ficially protested or that Brit
ain had told the Kremlin Crabb
apparently was swimming near
the cruiser.
U.S. Agrees to Jet
Shipment by French
Paris (U.R) The United
States has agreed to the im
mediate shipment by France of
12 more Mystere IV jet fighter
planes to Israel, the French For
eign office announced last night.
A communique issued by the
Ministry said Washington had
approved the immediate delivery
of the planes which are manufac
tured in France for NATO forces
under American offshore con
tracts. France said she -also has asked
Britain for approval of the ship
ment. France recently shipped 12 of
the jet fighters to Israel. The
Mystere IV planes are among
the world's top-performance jet
fighters and are believed capable
of matching the Soviet-built MIG
jet fighters the Communist na
tions have supplied Egypt re
cently. Israel also is seeking U.S.
F-86 jet fighter planes from the
United States and Canada.

Weakness, Doctors Say
Washington (U.R) Presi

ported Saturday that he is in
"good" physical condition and
that his heart shows "no symp
toms or findings" of weakness or

The report was issued an hour
after the President, all smiles
and in good spirits, left the hos
pital and went to the Burning
Tree club for an afternoon of
golf.
The report cited a number of
technical details on the condi
tion of Mr. Eisenhower's heart,
''all of which is very good,"
White House Press Secretary
