Hays recalls the rural school ma'am back in the maiden days of the Farm Security Administra tion who asked her class to name the President of the United States. No hands were raised.

Folks who aren t delegates want badges, so they can sit on the floor instead up way back there in the attic.

Lightning Sets 5 Umatilla Fires Pendleton U.R) U.S. forest service called on parachuters to day to stamp out five lightning caused fires in Umatilla nation al forest. John Kucera of the Umatilla national forest service said se vere- thunderstorms over the Wheeler area of the forest last night started the blazes in the dry timber. He said each was held so far to about a fourth of an acre or less, and the fire fighting parachuters from Win throp, Wash., were called in an attempt to contain the fires to the small areas. The thunderstorms did a lot of damage near Pendleton. Pow er lines were knocked down in Riverside, a small community north of Pendleton. Biggest damage was to wheat. near Reith. Some 200 persons from Pendleton and surrounding areas were called in to fight the fire caused by two lightning hits on the wheat acreage operated by the Eastern Oregon State hos pital. Before the flame were brought under control, some 40 acres of prime wheat were burn ed over. Another lightning hit burned an acre and a half of timber on the Umatilla Indian reservation east of Pendleton. FOR ALL YOUR Hot Weather Refreshers Choice Seen As Favorable Factor For Stevenson Chicago -UK Democrat par ty leaders named Gov. Frank G. Clement of Tennessee Monday to make the keynote speech at the party's convention Aug. 13. Selection of Clement, a forth right backer of Adlai E. Steven son, was seen as a favorable fac tor for Stevenson in his cam paign for the party's presiden tial nomination. National Chairman Paul M. Butler announced that Clement had been chosen from about 18 prominent Democrats under con sideration for the assignment. The announcement followed the end of a long three-hour meeting of the joint convention arrange ments and executive committee. In Nashville, Tenn., Clement was reported to be "very happy" over news of his selection, but aides said he preferred not to comment until officially noti fied. Clement. 36, is the na tion's youngest governor. Butler refused to say whether Clement's role as keynoter ruled him out as a vice-presidential nominee. "I would leave that to any one else's interpretation rather than my own," he said. The keynote speaker tradi tionally is left outside the scramble for a place on the na tional ticket. Convention man ager J. Leonard Reinsch, how ever, reminded reporters that the late Alben W. Barkley gained the vice-presidential nomination after making a fiery keynote speech in 1948. Butler said Clement's youth and his border state background "had some bearing" on the com mittee's choice. He said Clement will handle the racial segrega tion matter "in a way that will not be offensive to any segment of the population" and will cover the farm issue and other prob lems "influently and persua sively." Adlai E. Stevenson said Cle ment was a "good choice who will adequately state the philo sophy of the Democratic party." Frank McKinney, a Harriman supporter, echoed Stevenson and said Clement was "a good choice." The naming of a keynote speaker was the top develop ment during the day which was crowded with Democratic activities. A national Harriman head quarters was opened in Chicago, and former National Chairman McKinney forecast Harriman's nomination on the fifth ballot. Former President Truman ar rived in the city with plans to have breakfast this morning with Stevenson before delivering a "non-political" fund-raising speech for his memorial library. Butler said Mr. Truman will address the party convention on Thursday, Aug. 16, following the nominations of candidates for president and vice president. Plane Crash, ; Victims Buried Flagstaff, Ariz.

Compromise Likely For Housing Bill Due in Congress Washington (U.R) Repub lican housing leaders maneu vered today to get before Con gress a "bare-bones" housing bill, stripped of controversial public housing advocated by Democrats. But Democrats tightened their own opposition to the Republi can attempts. Democratic Bill Killed A compromise was probable. Prompting the Republican maneuvering was action by the House Rules committee 12 days ago which, in effect, killed a Democratic bill to provide 180, 000 public housing units in the next three years and ease mort gage lending credit. That action, however, would also kill several other housing programs, includ ing needed military housing and the popular home repair pro gram. The Republicans were expect ed to introduce a bill authorizing continuation of military housing and the home repair program. The compromise, if one is reached, was expected to be ac tion by the rules committee send ing both bills to the floor. To Opposa Compromise Rep. Jesse Wolcott (Mich.), ranking Republican on the House Banking committee which writes the nation's housing legislation, would oppose such a compromise. He said he would favor a Senate approved "bare-bones" - housing bill, but "as a matter of strat egy" would oppose a similar bill offered to the House. President Eisenhower asked that the program be limited to 70 units over the next two years. Now In 4 Hood for two days and a night ended yesterday afternoon when Alice Nielsen was found, in good condition.

Some 30 experienced moun tain climbers took part in the search yesterday and late in the afternoon a call had gone out for blood hounds to be brought to the scene. Officials said that Ruben Sul livan and George Barr, members of the Forest Service crew at Parkdale ranger station, found Miss Nielsen and took her to Hood River. She and her rescuers reached Hood River shortly before 5 p.m. Miss Nielsen returned to her Salem home by bus last night. She works for the state depart ment of education.
