Umatilla Indians To Press Claim lo 14 Million Acres Pendleton 'U.PJ The Uma tilla Indian Tribal council serv ed notice today that it intends to press its claim to more than 14 million acres of land in east ern Oregon. Tribal attorney Charles F. Luce, of Walla Walla, Wash., said that the tribe had retained erne F. Ray. University of Washington anthropologist, to make additional studies for fur ther information on the Uma tilla Indian reservation. The Indian trible filed a claim in 1951. suing the federal gov ernment for more than S15 mil lion. Indians contended that the land now occupied by the gov ernment and taken from them was purchased for a grossly in adequate price. Luce said Ray has made ex tensive studies of the aboriginal occupancy of the Umatilla. Ca yuse and Walla . Walla tribes, and feels much of the land claimed by the Indians is justi fiably theirs. He said the previous studic of Ray in the early 1930s on the three tribes confirmed that they were justified in their conten tion that the land was theirs and that they had not received the amount due for it. The Indians have laid claims to all of Walla Walla county ii Washington and Umatilla. Mor Mor-1 row. Grant and Union counties of Oregon in addition to portions of other adjacent counties. Luce said the case was set for trial before the Indian claims commission in Washington, D.C .Sept. 16. 1957. No, it Isn't fust ft uying. Here arc words of wisdom.

Moral Rearmament Movement Winds Up World Convention at Mackinac Island Mackinac Island, Mich. (U.R) The Moral Rearmament Move ment, an organization that has shown amazing vigor and stam ina since its founding 18 years ago. is winding us another world convention at this remote upper Michigan training center. The some 900 delegates from 32 nations who attended will go back to spread the word that MRA has the answer to the Communist challenge and to many of the evils that beset the world. MRA hag been spreading the word with a strong mixture of humility, evangelism, Madison Avenue publicity techniques, and personal contacts ever since its founder. Dr. Frank Buchman, Demurrers Overruled In Multnomah Court Portland OJ.R) Several in dictments returned by the re cent vice investigating Multno mah county grand jury with stood court tests yesterday when demurrers filed in behalf of a number of those indicted were overruled. Circuit Judge Frank J. Loner jan upheld indictments returned against seven Portland police officers for perjury and also the indictments brought against James B. Elkins, Portland night life figure, and others charging extortion. A second indictment charging Elkins, Joey Clcmo and Charles E. Canaday with conspiracy to commit a felony was ordered re turned to the grand jury. The judges action on the indictment came at the request of the attor ney general's office. Washer with the 95 his autograph to winsome Joann McGuire Dougherty, 12, became disillusioned with the jealousies and hatreds that were poisoning relations between na tions. Buchman, now 78, a Pennsyl vania born educator, decided after the unhappy Washington Disarmament Conference in 1921 to try a new approach of per sonal morality toward world problems. Joined by other edu cators, many from England, it was first known as the Oxford Group. In 1938 he launched a world organization as Moral Re armament. No Boundaries MRA defines itself as a "way of life" that knows no national boundaries, no language, class or religious barriers. There are few in the Western World who will criticize its four- basic beliefs absolute honesty, absolute pur ity, absolute love and absolute unselfishness. It claims followers in the mil lions but keeps no membership rolls. There are no dues. It is backed by what a spokesman says are voluntary contributions, most of them small, and manned by many unpaid full-time work ers, but it maintains elaborate world headquarters in Caux, Switzerland, plus training and administration centers in other nations including those in Mich igan, New York and Los An geles. It has attracted and held in fluential leaders in government, business and professions. It won the praise of such men as Ger man Chancellor Konrad Aden auer and the son of the late Ma hatma Gandhi. Air of ETSngalist Rally The meetings such as those here have the air of an evan gelist rally.

This week end the delegates saw a movie made in Nigeria by the MRA from a play called "Freedom." It depicts the change in an African national revolu tionary leader, an African prime minister and a representative of a European "imperialistic" gov ernment as each comes to realize the case of the other. MRA sent on world tour a controversial play called "The Vanishing Island" which told of two peoples living on separate islands of "I Love Me" and "We Hate You." MRA is not without critics. One of its basic aims is to "re store God to leadership in the lives of nations," but it is far from having widespread en dorsement from religious groups whose dogmas and denomina tions it crosses. Last year the Assembly of The Church of England released a report conceding that MRA fol lowers "are men of good will, sincere, and of good motive," but concluding that the move ment is psychologically danger ous and naively defective in so cial thinking.

' I Legion Commander: Urges Compulsory Military Training j Los Angeles (ll.R) The American Legion has been urged by its retiring commander J. Addington Wagner, to fight for compulsory military training be cause the volunteer reserve pro gram "has failed." The commander of the 2,800, 000 Legionnaires got the group's 38th annual national convention down to serious business yester day by submitting his final re port. The report also advocated: 1 A continued battle for a new veteran's security bill that would pay S105-monthly pen sions to World War I veterans over 65. 2 A continued effort to se cure a Congressional investiga tion of UNESCO and the U. S. Commission for UNESCO. The report was an indication of what the Legion program would be for the coming year. Exposed Danger Wagner told the convention that the Legion's work of the past year "to expose the danger to America represented by the Fund for the Republic has borne good fruit." Rep. Olin E. Eague, (D-Tex.), Chairman of The House Veter ans' Aiiairs committee, was ac cused in the report of being a party to the scuttling of the Legion-recommended war veterans' security bill in the 1956 Con gress. The bill proposed to declare all World War I vets over 65 "totally disabled" if their in come was less than $1,400 an nually and they have no de pendents, or $2,700 if they have dependents. Those falling in the category would be entitled to $105 monthly pension. Wagner, in regard to the vol unteer reserve tiaining program said it was just getting under way last year and "we held that it deserved a fair trial." "Now the fair trial 'period is over. The program has failed to enlist the limited quota of train ees set by the Department of Defense. It must be considered at this time whether the urgent need for a large trained civilian reserve force to back up the pro fessional armed forces can only be met by initiating a compul sory basic training course for the young men of the country."

Suit to Recover $2 Million Filed In Federal Court San Francisco- U.P.) A Utah bank and trust company filed suit in federal court Tuesday against a Belvidere, Calif., busi, nessman to recover $2,809,701 which it accused him of syphon ing off of the assets of an insur ance company that subsequently went bankrupt. The suit named Stewart B. Hopps, well known in financial circles, and his wife, Geraldine. Hopps is a director of several large insurance and investment companies.

Hopps ana his wife were charged in the suit with conspir ing "to divert funds of Inland for their own use." The suit alleged that it the $2,809,701 is recovered, policy holders would be paid in full. If not. Continental charged, they would suffer "considerable loss." WRONG WAY ROAD I Bognor Regis, England U.R A road named "North Avenue South" in the village of Middle-ton-on-Sea, Sussex, England, runs east and west. - ew They were all asleep and awoke like I did, wondering what was happening. Into Aisle We piled out of our beds and got into the aisle. The car was tilted but hadn't turned over. Then we found that the doors were locked tight. But a porter and a couple of passengers grabbed a sledge hammer and broke open a win dow and we got out. We all talked back and forth while waiting to get out. Some one mentioned the possibility of fire so no one lighted any cigar ettes. When we got out there was wreckage all around us. Some of the cars ahead of us were really smashed up and there were a number of them over turned. All the dead seemed to be in the front one or two cars on our train. There were a number of injured standing and sitting there. It was still dark. We waited at the scene until after dawn and a bus brought us into town. No, I've never been through anything like this before. It was quite a ride. But there wasn't any panic in our car. Just a lot of noise for a minute and lots of bouncing around. i j I j I !. : I 1 1 1 ' I ! I I , 1 ! ' I I j I I , ' ;!

TRIBUNE THREE Americans Go Into Deeper Car Debt Washington U.R) Americans went $50 million deeper into debt in July for automobiles and other consumer items. The monthly increase reported Tuesday by the Federal Reserve Board is the smallest since March. But it still pushed the to tal amount that consumers have on the cuff to a record of more than $37 billion. The July total was about $4 billion above a year earlier. The reserve board said about half the increase stemmed from last year'i record auto-buying spree.
