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

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.

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

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. Men and women
stand up to tell their personal

and guest at White House
(International Stmndphete)
story of what MRA has done for
their nations or communities and
for their own relationships.
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.

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."

a roomette with Everett Ruddell
of Springfield, Ohio, our car was
about four back from the en-
Ugme.

car but we sure had a rough ride
for a while.
There was quite a lot of noise.
The train's undergear rumbled

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.
Appointed Hecerrer
: The suit was filed by the Con-
tinental Bank & Trust Co. of
Utah which was appointed re-
ceiver for Inland Empire Insur-
ance Co. of Salt Lake City by a
federal court when the insur -
ance firm was declared bank -
nipt last year.
The suit charged that Hopps
gained control of Inland in 1954
by buying up 90 per nt of its
outstanding common stock for
$250,000 and then syphoning off
its assets "by complicated f inan -
cial maneuvers."
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

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.

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.
