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.
When the teacher pressed the is
sue, on kid yelled: "Miss Myr-

our President, but Mr. Hanna is
our Farm Security Supervisor."

he needs no reservation.
Every delegation to the politi
cal conventions in Chicago and
San Francisco has the same prob
lem. Folks who aren t delegates
want badges, so they can sit on
the floor instead up way back
there in the attic. Why would
anybody want to sit down there

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

east of Pendleton.

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. (U.R)
Sixty-seven victims of commer
cial aviation's worst disaster
were laid to rest yesterday on a
gentle slope in the "Grand Can
yon Memorial Plot" of Flagstaff
cemetery.
All but three of the .70 per
sons aboard the TWO super con
stellation which apparently col
lided June 30 with a United Air
liner high above Grange Canyon
were buried In the plot. The
three victims were to be buried
in their home towns.
The mass burial services were
conducted by a clergyman from
each of the Protestant, Catholic,
Jewish and Mormon faiths. More
than 1,000 solemn-faced specta
tors, including some'400 mourn
ers, attended the .services 85
miles from the scenic and awe
some canyon where 128 persons
met death in the two-plane crash.
The remains of the victims,
most of there not positively iden
tified, were placed In 67 coffins
on a wooden platform above a
grave 72 feet long, 24 feet wide
and six feet deep.
At the far corner, a tiny casket
stood out among the other flower
decked coffins. This was the final
resting place for the three-week-old
unnamed daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Maag, of Los An
geles. All three were victims of
the crash.

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.

Hood for two days and a night
ended yesterday afternoon when
Alice Nielsen was found, in
good condition.
Officials reported that two
workers employed by the U.S.
Forest Service found the young
woman in the Cold Springs area
on the lower slopes of the moun
tain. Missing Sine Sunday
Miss Nielsen had been missing
since Sunday morning when she
and a group of companions set
out to scale the east summit of
the mountain.
She became ill and was left
on the-trail by her companions
until they returned from scaling
the peak. On their return they
found the woman gone.
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.
