Morse Has Little
Trouble in Taking
Demo Nomination
Eisenhower Takes
State's Delegates
Portland (U.R) Adlai Stev
enson's presidential aspirations
got a shot in the arm Friday
from Oregon Democrats who
gave him a victory over Sen.
Estes Kefauver in the state's pri
mary election.
Former Interior Secretary
Douglas McKay also won his bat
tle for the Republican senatorial
nomination to oppose Sen.
Wayne Morse, the Republican-turned-Democrat,
in the Novem
ber general election.
'Incomplete unofficial returns
from 2,263 of the state's 2,519
precincts gave Stevenson 38,952
to 40,820 for Kefauver.
McKay Votes
McKay had 81,820 to 66.311
for Philip Hitchcock, his chief
opponent. Morse had a runaway
of it against his opponent.
Woody Smith, leading 120,273 to
25.185.
President Eisenhower, unop
posed on the GOP ballot, had
112.025 votes and took the state's
18 Republican National Conven
tion delegates. .
Neither Stevenson nor Kefauv
er were on the ballot. But the
1952 Democratic standard-bearer
slugged it out with the sena
tor from Tennessee in an inten
sive write-in campaign to cap
ture Oregon's 16 convention del
egates in yesterdays' primary.
Stevenson made a convincing
campaigner at the "Grass Roots"
level. . '
He had toured the state in
folksy fashion, shaking 'hands,
patting babies on the head and
eating spaghetti. And with more
than half the state's polling
places reporting, he held a com
manding 2-to-l lead over the
Tennesssee senator.
No Comment
Kefauver in Washington, D.C.,
declined comment until he had
conferred wtih his Oregon cam
paign manager.
Former Interior Secretary
Douglas McKay held a comfort
able lead over Philip Hitchcock,
his chief opponent for the Re
publican senatorial nomination,
and it appeared McKay would
oppose Sen. Wayne Morse (D
Ore.) in the fall election. It was
strictly no contest between
Morse and his opponent, Woody
Smith, a garageman.
Somewhat of a surprise was
the substantial write-in vote Re
publicans gave Vice President
Richard Nixon. His supporters
had asked voters to write in his
name on the ballot, but there was
no all-out campaign in his behalf.
The Vice President polled up
wards of 20,000 votes. The write
in was taken as an expression of
loyalty to President Eisenhower
who has said he would like Nix
on as his running mate again.
Oregon's incumbent congress
men all were nominated. Repub
licans Sam Coon and Harris Ells
worth and Democrat Edith
Green were unopposed. Rep.
Walter "Norblad, Republican,
trounced R. F. Cook, a turkey
raiser.

Firm Damaged by Fire
Hood River (U.R) Five units
of fire equipment battled a Sat
urday afternoon blaze at the
Jay Mar Lumber Co., here for
nearly two hours before they
were "able to control the flames.
The flames, pushed by a
strong west wind, destroyed a
shop and a planing department
at the mill but the main mill
operation was saved, Fire Chief
Jim Meyer said.
The mill manufacturers about

Chance Seed for
Dropping H-Bomb
Aboard the USS Mt. McKin
ley off Eniwetok (U.R) Task
Force Commander Read Adm. B.
Hall , Hanlon said today there
was a "possible outside chance"
the much postponed H-bomb air
drop would take place .Mor.Oy
morning. '
Hanlon told newsmen weather
forecasters had predicted a com
bination of conditions making
"possible an outside chance that
both cloud cover and low level
winds will be acceptable Mon
day morning.
Adverse weather conditions
have forced the postponement
of the first tactical test of an H-
bomb for more than a week.
Task force officials indicated the
test would not be held unless
there was a minimum of wind to
protect natives in the Marshall
Islands from deadly radioactive
fallout.
Last week the test was called
off only 96 minutes before a B-52
intercontinental bomber was
scheduled to drop the bomb over
the target island.
Morocco Diplomat
Corps Agreeable,
Rabat, Morocco U.R) France
and Morocco reached agreement
last night on Morocco's new dip
lomatic corps.
The protocol was rushed to
completion after several West
ern nations said they were ready
to send ambassadors to the cap
ital of this newly-independent
North African nation.
It was approved by Alain Sav-
arv. French Secretary of State
for Moroccan and Tunisian af
fairs, and Moroccon Foreign Min
ister Ahmed Balafrej. A formal
signing ceremony will be held
later, probably in Paris.
agreement on such major issues
as disarment and European se-
curity. But it added that the
three-day talks which ended Fri
day and the last-minute confer
ence held yesterday gave each
national a better understanding
of the other.
Same Offer Made
Russia made France the same
offer it made Britain last month,
that it would increase its pur
chases from France "three to
four times," provided the French
scrapped the western embargo
on strategic goods. Britain re
fused to do so. France apparent
ly would follow the British lead
However, the communique an
nounced a formal decision to
negotiate a three-year trade pact
in talks at Paris next Septem
ber. The agreement would pro
vide for a "considerable" in
crease in Franco-Soviet trade
and would cove into effect Jan.
1.
Both sides also agreed to in
crease cultural contacts.
They ranged the internation
al field on the basic cold war
issues, and France "acknow
ledged the significance" of Rus
sia's deicsion to trim 1.2 million
men from-its armed forces.

Cholera Epidemic
Kills 173 in India
Calcutta, India XU.R) The
government sent in health offi
cials Saturday to cope with a
growing cholera epidemic that
has stricken 765 persons and
killed 173 of them in the last
three weeks.
A total of 160 new cases were
admitted to hospitals yesterday.
Ten of the patients died. The
epidemic appeared to be most
critical in Theslum areas.
Friday's 170 attacks were the
most that have occurred yet on
a single day. No official report
on the number of victims has
been issued. But cumulative fig
ures based on hospital admis
sions and death reports showed
221 cases and 76 deaths in the
week ending May 5.

Red Army Reduction
Reflected in Talks
London (U.R) Radio Mos
cow said Saturday Russia's prom
ise to demobilize 1.2 million -men
alarmed "supporters of aggres
sive military alignments" like
the Atlantic Pact but was hailed
in some Western quarters as a
real step toward ending the cold
war.
The propaganda radio said
Western military alarm was re
flected in speeches by Gen. Al
fred M. Gruenther and other top
officers of, the pact.
The broadcast continued the
Kremlin's policy of giving the
reported reduction in . troop
strength one of the biggest pro
paganda buildups any Commu
nist action has received in recent
years.
Gruenther said in Edinburgh
this week that Western military
experts regard the partial demo
bilization as no more than a
streamlining of Russia's huge
army- to meet the requirements
of the atomic age.
Washington (U.R). British
and American officials will
meet here next week to discuss
problems arising out of Lon
don's reported desire to use
Christmas island, claimed by
both natoins, as a base for Pa
cific atomic tests, it was learned
Saturday.
Police Guard 21 Surplus Half-Tracks
Removed From Israel-Bound Freighter
New York (U.R) Waterfront
police Saturday guarded 21 sur
plus Army half-tracks embar
goed for shipment to Israel be
cause they lacked a valid U.S.
export license.
The State Department dis
closed Friday that customs offi
cials had removed the half-tracks
from the Israeli freighter Zion
before it sailed from New York
harbor eight days ago.
Department spokesman Lin
coln White said customs officials
had no alternative but to block
the shipment He said a license
Uiad been issued for spare parts
but not for the assembled half
tracks themselves.
White said the Israeli Embassy
had applied for export licenses
for fully assembled half-tracks
but these had never been ap
proved or rejected.
The State Department has
pigeonholed for seven months an
Israeli request to' buy S64 mil
lion worth of U.S. jet planes and
other equipment.
Shipment of 18 tanks, how
ever, was allowed to Saudi Ara
bia last winter. The shipments
was first embargoed on orders
Irom President Eisenhower but
was later cleared for export.
White denied that the Israeli
government was involved in any
attempted smuggling or any ille
gal arms maneuvers.
Israeli Ambassador Abba
Eban. who called at the State
Department shortly after the dis
closure, said he had not heard
of action.
But the Israeli Embassy said
later that immediately after cus
toms agents had ordered the
freighter unloaded, orders were
issued to the shippers to "com-
iPly with the ruling."

Truman Enjoys Rome;
Likes Independence
Rome (U.R) Former Presi
rtpnt Truman enjoyed the sights
of .Rome Saturday but said he
would settle for Independence,
Mo., as a place to live "for an
old man like me."
. Mr. Truman was as much a
tourist attraction as a tourist on
his walk around the ancient
colliseum, the Roman forum,
the capitoline Hill and the Pan
theon. Vatican City (U.R) Pope
Pius XII Saturday denounced
the practice of artificial insemi
nation and the production of test
tube babies as unnatural and "an
intrinsic eviL"
The reports coincided with a
top-level review here of Western
relations with Egypt in the light
of the Middle Eastern nation's
surprise recognition of Red
China. Officials speculated that
Egypt received the plans as
suming the reports are true in
"payment" for embracing the
Chinese Communist regime.
Advisers Disturbed
President Eisenhower and his
advisers are admittedly disturb
ed by Egypt's steady progression
toward the Red bloc and violent
anti-Western statements. There
is apprehension that other Arab
nations may follow Egypt's lead.
This could cause trouble later
this year if new moves are made
to seat Red China in the United
Nations.
Some officials fear Egyptian
Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser
may stumble into Soviet satellite
status "if he doesn't slow down."
-The state department is "as
sembling all the information it
can" on current moves by Egypt,
particularly its decision to recog
nize Red China.
Here is evidence that Nasser,
who aspires to leadership of the
Arab world, may seek arms from
any source in order to give him
more political-military influence
in the area as well as raise a
menace to Israel.
District Judge Rawles Moore
was returned to office. With only
a few scattered precincts yet to
be heard from, his total was 10,
895 votes. Despite the fact that
his opponent, O. H. Bengston,
had withdrawn from the race,

936 voted, for a percentage of
50.1.
The total voter turnout was
about 18,665 or 61.2 per cent of
the 30,452 ,of whom 543 are
classed as "miscellaneous" regis
trants. The turnout was undoubtedly
lessened somewhat by a violent
ley in the late afternoon, c
ley in th elate afternoon, ac
companied by a heavy downpour
of rain.
Tabulation of returns was re
latively slow this year, presum
ably because of the large num
ber of candidates for delegates
to the national conventions of
the two political parties. The
compilation of all write-in votes,
which conceivably could have an
effect on some races, particular
ly those where no contests ap
peared on the ballots, will not be
completed for several days.

cast their ballots on all races on
the county ballots is detailed on
