Superior Court Judge Eugene
G. Cushing stipulated, however,
that Mrs. Evelyn Renhard must
post $1000 guaranty bond assur
ing that she would appear for a
full hearing on the boy's perman
ent custody later.
Mrs. Renhard had accused her
former husband, Marcus, a Port
land lumberman, of abducting
the child from a Eureka, Calif.,
nursery school. She claimed a
Grants Pass court had granted
her custody after the couple's
divorce. Renhard countered that
an Idaho court had given him

the boy were taken into custody
in a motel here recently. Mrs.
Renhard was given temporary

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

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.

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.
Continued Fall of
Columbia Expected
Portland (U.R) The wea
ther bureau said today that the
Columbia river probably will go
below flood stage at Vancouver,
Wash., next week for the first
time since April 23.
The five-day forecast called for
a drop to 15.7 feet at Vancouver
by next Monday. River Forecast
er Elmer Fisher said it probably
would get down to the 15-foot
flood level by the fourth of
July. The reading today was 18.2
feet, 3.2 over flood stage.

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.
