President of CBS
'Shocked' at Blast
Leveled by Butler
New York U R, Frank Stan
ton, president of the Columbia
Eroadcasting System, said today
he was "shocked" by the "in
flammatory attack" made against
CBS Monday by Democratic Na
tional Chairman Paul M. Butler.
' Stanton sent a itelegram to
Butler defending CBS coverage
of the Democratic Convention.
CBS omitted part of a Demo
cratic film that was shown at
Monday niRht's convention ses
sion in connection with the key
note address.'
Stanton said the issue involved
the exercise of news judgment
by a free press.
In Fundamental Error
His telegram to Eutler said in
part: .
"I am shocked by your inflam
matory attack on CBS before
the convention today and by
your subsequent statements at a
press conference. You are in fun
damental error both on the facts
and on the principles of free
press which are deeply involved.
"Neither I nor anyone else at
CBS has ever committed CBS to
carry the film. There has been
no agreement at any time on the
subject.-' i
. "Far more important is the
vital issue of freedom of the
press which you raise. Those
who make the news cannot, in a
free society, dictate to broad
casters, as part of the free press,
to what extent, where, and how
they shall cover the news. Tele
vision -and radio, in covering the
conventions as well as all other
news events, are not mere con
duits which must carry every
thing which the news maker de
mands. On the contrary, we in
sist most vigorously that we
are. and must remain, iree 10
exercise our news judgment.
Must Retain Basic Right
"You may disagree with how
we exercise our news judgment
in this instance. But we, in turn,
must retain that basic right
which is guaranteed by the Con
stitution. We believe that if you
examine our record over many
years, you will find that we have
met the basic criteria of fairness
and objectivity in the political,
as well as other controversial
areas."

Eyewitness Tells of Seeing
Cafe Leveled by Explosion
Editor'! note: Steve HazHwood. 40,
was near the Lariat cafe In Mnmirello.
Utah. .Mondav when It wai flattened
by an explosion. Here U his story.
IGNORES CURB SERVICE
Dallas, Texas (U.R) Mrs.
Thelma Wade of suburban Seago
ville ignored curb service when
she took a pair of trousers to the
Artway Cleaners Monday. Her
brakes failed to hold and her car
plunged trough the plate glass
window, coming to a halt com
pletely inside the cleaners.
By STEVE HAZELWOOD
As Told To United Press
Monticello. Utah. !U.E I was
just fixin' to turn the corner
when it happened when the
cafe blew up. .
I imagine I was about a block
and a half away. It was right at
dinner time, about seven o'clock.
and I understand there were at
least 35 to 40 people in the cafe.
It seemed to spread this build
ing just like you had put your
fist inside an- egg shell and
opened it up. It raised the roof.vj
but it came straight back down
again. All four sides of the cafe
were flattened out in each di
rection, j
I parked by pickup truck
about a quarter of a block away
from the cafe. I can up and found
the gas pipe (Montlcella had just
received gas service a few days
ago for the first time) was bro
ken off next to the valve and
gas was coming out full force.
I am back to my truck and
got a wrench and went and
turned off the gas. I was afraid
somebody'd light a cigarette and
blow the whole darn place up.
The front of the building
seemed to have gone out first
the side with big windows that
were flanked by glass ; brick.
That as blown across the street.
They had to sweep the street be
fore traffic could get by.
The cafe was built just about
a year ago. Mrs. Irma Ranswall
owned it. She was in the cafe
when it blew up. I saw them
carry her out on a stretcher. She
was hurt pretty bad.
Man Charged After
Highway 62 Accident
Vehicles operated by Oliver
Scrugs Fox, 37, of 124 Tripp St.,
Medford, and Mrs. Donna Lou
Warren, 28, of 347 South Holly
st., were involved in an accident
about 12:40 a.m. yesterday on
Highway 62 about a mile north
of Medford.
State police said the Fox car,
which was traveling south, struck
Mrs. Warren's vehicle from be
hind and thenwent into a ditch.
An' earlier account of the acci
dent reported the Fox car was
struck from behind. Police said
Mrs. Warren told them she was
traveling between 40 and 45
miles an hour at the time.
Fox was arraigned in district
court yesterday on charges of
driving while under the influ
ence of intoxicating liquor. He
pleaded innocent, police said.

i Nixon Bolsters '
Reelection Bid of
Texas Candidate
Dallas, Tex. U.R) Vice Presi
det Richard M. Nixon bolstered
the rejection bid of Texas' only
Republican congressman Mon
day night.
Nixon took advantage of an
address before 3.000 Republicans
to boost Rep. Bruce Alger. The
vice president earlier had
addressed the Veterans of For
eign Wars convention.
Hard Fight Coming Up
Alger has a hard fight coming
up in November against Demo
crat Henry Wade, Dallas dist
rict attorney, for the fifth con
gressional seat.
Nixon predicted that Alger
would be reelected.
"I have a hunch, despite what
they say, you are going to send
him back," the vice president
said amid a mighty cheer.
Nixon grabbed Alger's arm
and lifted it high into the air as
the crowd whooped.
"Don't let anybody ttil you
that President Eisenhower does
not want a Republican Congress
to back him up. That is why we
want Bruce Alger back and may
be two or three more from Text
as to go with him."
L.t People Know Facts
Nixon said this year the Re
publicans "have a wonderful
case to sell. They should let the
people know the facts."
"We want to make the South
a two-party system."
A voice in the audience cried,
"We're going to elect a vice
president, too." And one of sev
eral Negroes in the crowd got a
cheer when he shouted: "We
want Nixon."
The vice president made no
direct reference to the efforts
being made by Harold E. Stassen
to dump him as the vice presi
dential candidate.

Umatilla Wheat Yield
Claimed Phenomenal tl
Pendleton (U.R) "Phenom
enal yields" in perfect harvest
weather were reported today to
be the factors combining to make
what some call the biggest wheat
harvest in the history of Umatil
la county. ' v
Grain companies indicate the
harvest should be completed by
Monday or Tuesday of next
week. Very little moisture has
speeded the harvest pompletion
date by two weeks.
Orlin Hansen, manager of the
Milton Elevator company in Mil-ton-Frcewater,
said "the yields
have been phenomenal." He said
dry land plots were averaging a
"conservative" 50 bushels to the
acre and irrigated plots up to 80
bushels.
Walter Holt Jr., manager of
the grain department for Pendle
ton Grain Growers, said "this
is. without doubt the biggest har
vest we have ever experienced."
