GREEN STAMPS WITH EVERY PURCHASE ink's 314 East Main Luggage Repairing Phone 2-4472 Alleged Following Of 'Communist1 Line' By High Court Argued Washington (U.R) The chair man of Americans for Democrat ic Action and the chairman of the Senate Internal Security subcommittee got into a dispute today over whether the Supreme court has followed the "Commu nist line." Joseph L. Rauh Jr., ADA chairman, branded as "arrant nonsense" charges made before the subcommitte that some of the court's decisions have been pro-Communist. He said such charges were "clear evidence of a continuing drive to discredit the court." Subcommittee Chairman James O. Eastland (D.-Miss.) who accused the court Tuesday of making ' pro-Communist" deci sions retorted: PtopI Said Dumbfounded "That's where, you're wrong. The Supreme court has discred ited itself." Eastland said there has" been "one pro - Communist decision after another." He said the peo ple of the country are "dumb founded' that we've got a court that evidently is being influ enced by pro - Communist ele ments." Rauh charged here is a "cer tain schizophrenia," in the Re publican party about the Su preme court. He said Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon called Chief Justice Earl Warren a "great Republican Chief Jus tice" when Nixon, Rauh said, was "trying to take credit for civil rights." But Tuesday, he said, GOP witnesses before the subcommittee "implied that this great Republican Chief Justice is pro-Communist." Warran Said 'Hero' Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R. Wis.) a- witness Tuesday, said Warren has "become a hero" of the Daily Worker, Communist newspaper. Rauh appeared before the sub- Traffic Accidents Kill 425 in Oregon Portland (U.R) Motor vehicle accidents claimed 425 lives in Oregon last year, continuing to take a greater toll than any other kind of accident, the State Board of Health said today. Home accidents ranked second with 269, followed by occupa tional with 207 and public acci dents with 189. There was a slight increase in accidental deaths in Oregon last year over 1954 figures, although the state's increase in population lowered the rate slightly from 64.4 deaths per 100.000 estimated population to 64.2. All major classificatidns of accidental deaths decreased except those in the home area, which increas ed from 240 deaths in 1954. The total number listed was 1086. Largest single cause of acci dental death among children un der the age .of 15 was drowning, both at home and in public places, which accounted for 27 fatalities. PUC Approves Rail Crossing Signals Salem (U.R) The Public Utilities Commission today an nounced approval of installation of automatic electric signals at two railroad crossings in Hills boro and another north of Sa lem. The Southern Pacific crossings in Hillsboro are located at West An existing signal at West Base Baseline st. and West Oak st line will be replaced. The Oak st. crossing soon is to be desig nated as the eastbound leg of the Tualatin valley highway. The Oregon Electric crossing is at Claxter road north of Sa lem. Southern" Pacific will be re imbursed for 50 per cent of the cost by the State Highway com mission while half the Oregon Electric installation cost will be paid by Marion county. Court Dismisses Pelfon Dam Appeal Salem (U.R) The Oregon Supreme Court today dismissed an appeal from a State Hydro electric Commission ruling against Portland General Elec tric company on motion of the company. . The firm had filed the motion on the basis that the U. S. Su preme Court decision upholding the Federal Power Commission's issuance of a license for Pelton dam made the question moot. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton objected to the grounds for the motion but did not object to dismissal of the appeal. The high state court observed that the. reason for the motion was no concern as long as the re spondent did not object. Windsor, Ont. U.R) Police Chief Carl Farrow told the po lice commission Tuesday that he has been beset for some time with a wave of stomach illness complaints and said "most of them usually follow the day aft er payday." committee to oppose bills to overturn a recent Supreme court decision barring security risjc firings of government workers in non-sensitive jobs. Democrats Claim New Strength in North Dakota Vote Bismarck, N.D. (U.R) Demo crats, newly allied with the ru ral Nonpartisan League, claimed a vast new strength in this farm state today on the basis of Tues day's primary. But Republicans, almost al ways the winners in North Da kota, countered that the Demo cratic gains fell far short of se rious proportions. With the Democratic vote counted in about one-third of the state's precincts, unopposed gubernatorial candidate Wallace E. Warner had about one-third as many votes as two Republi can candidates. The Republican totals, how ever, represented nearly one half of the precincts. Combine Big Question The big question in the pri mary was the effectiveness of a new political combine which found the Nonpartisan League shifting from the Republican to the Democratic state ballot for the first time in 40 years. Republicans apparently nomi nated state Sen. John E. Davis, 43, McClusky, for governor in the only major nominating con test on the ballot. Sen. Milton R. Young and Reps. Usher Burdick and Otto Krueger were renominated eas ily against nominal opposition in the GOP primary. Father Opposes Son The general election in No vember thus will find Burdick running on the opposite ticket from his son, -Quentin, nomi nated with opposition for U.S. senator by the Democrats. An assessment of the Repub lican and Democratic turnouts was difficult because Demo cratic votes were not tabulated immediately in many counties. In past years, the Republican nomination has usually been considered tantamount to elec tion. This year, the big fight will come in November.

Just Dial 2-6141 Prime Ministers Of British Nations Discuss Problems London (U.R) The prime ministers of the British Com monwealth meet today to coor dinate their actions against ap parent changes in Soviet eco nomic and diplomatic policies. It was the seventh and per haps the most crucial of the prime ministers' postwar confer ences. It could decide whether the commonwealth expands into a dynamic world force or with ers on the vine. The Commonwealfh. which re placed the pre-war British em pire, faced increasing difficulties and new dissensions as the prime ministers met at 10 Downing St., official residence of Prime Min ister Anthony Eden. Trade Competition Problem First and foremost of the prob lems facing the prime minister was that of increased Soviet trade cmopetition and the neces sary reappraisal of the interna tional scene in the light of ap parent changes in Soviet foreign policy. There were a number of in ternal matters the efforts of Ceylon's Premier Solomon Ban- daranaike to oust the British air and naval bases there, and In dia's and Pakistan's dispute over Kashmir. Eden has held individual meetings with each of the prime ministers of the visiting nations India, Pakistan, Canada, Aus tralia, New Zealand, Ceylon and the Union of South Africa. Each voiced the need for closer co operation. The Top Difficulties These were the major prob lems facing the Commonwealth: 1. Finding more capital with in the Commonwealth for eco nomic development. 2. Maintaining the chain of bases at Cyprus, Aden, Ceylon and Singapore upon which the defenses of the Commonwealth are based. 3. Preventing a split between neutralist and anti-Communist members over SEATO and other pacts. '. 4. Guiding the colonies to full statehood and cooperation with in the commonwealth. 5. Preparation for the day when full convertibility of cur rencies will return, thus ending the sterling bloc and imperial preferences. Use Tribune Want Ads tow in Cost! WHERE'S GRANDMA?
