Stevenson Faces New
Republican Challenge
On Alger Hiss Case
Washington ,UR) Adlai
T. Stevenson today faced a new
Republican challenge on the Al
ger Hiss case.
Republican National Chair
man Leonard W. Hall called on
the Democratic presidential can
didate Sunday night to state
whether he agrees with former
President Truman that Hiss was
not a "Communist spy."
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon and Sen. Karl E. Mundt
(R-S.D.) already have called on
Stevenson to tell the public
where he stands on Mr. Truman's
statement. Both Nixon and
Mundt played key roles in the
investigation that led to Hiss"
conviction.
Stevenson was certain to face
questioning on Hiss later today
at a news conference.
He returned to the capital to
day after spending Saturday
night at the home of friends in
nearby Virginia. He visisted pub
lisher Philip L. Graham of the
Washington Post and Times Her
ald and George McGhee. cochair
man of the Volunteers for Stev
enson and Kefauvor Finance
committee.
Schedules Campaign Swing
The Democratic presidential
nominee ended a quiet Sunday
in the Virginia horse country
by scheduling a 6.800-mile swing
through the West and South
where Democrats hope to pick
up important voter strength.
Stevenson will open the eight-
day tour through 11 states Sat
urday with a major farm speech
at the Newton, Iowa, national
plowing contest. His speech
comes just a day after President
Eisenhower visits Newton. The
President is not scheduled to de
liver a formal speech.
From Newton, Stevenson will
go by plane and car to Colorado,
Oklahoma. Arkansas, Louisiana,
Florida, Missouri, Kansas, Indi
ana. Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Stevenson carried only two of
the states. Arkansas and Lou
isiana, in his 1952 race against
Mr. Eisenhower.
Hall demanded a statement
from Stevenson on Hiss in a
telegram that said;
Mimics Got. Clamant
"It U 15 days since Harry Tru
man delivered his whitewash and
you have not repudiated him.
Does your silence mean that you
agree with Mr. Truman-! state
ments? "It seems strange that you are

Then, mimicking Gov. Frank

livered the impassioned Demo
cratic convention keynote ad
dress, the Republican chairman
concluded:
"How long, oh how long, Mr.
Stevenson, does it take you to
clarify your stand on Hiss, Harry
Dexter White and Silvermaster!
I will ask you this question once
a day because the American peo
ple want your answer.
Mr. Truman said in a Milwau

was a spy or that Harry Dexter
White and Nathan Gregory Sil
vermaster were guilty of any
thing.
Airlines Challenge
Russia To Travel
Edinburg (U.R) The
world' i scheduled airlines today
challenged the Soviet Union to
prove its peaceful intentions by
permitting unchannelled tourist
traffic in and out of Russia.
Juan T Trippe, president of
Pan-American World Airways,
made the suggestion in his report
as outgoing president of the 74
airlines International Air Trans
port Association (IATA).
An early application by the
Russian airlines Aerflot for ad
mission to IATA "would be con
vincing evidence on the part of
the Soviet leaders that they
were really willing to lift, for
tourist travel, the Iron Curtain
which ha? so long separated the
people of the West and the
Communist world," he said.
Trippe, whose airline has
tried unsuccessfully for several
months to obtain landing rights
in Russia, originally called on
Russia's airlines to join those
of some 40 others last year.
So far Russia has showed no
signs of doing so.
Low Pay 'Wrecking'
Juvenile Program
Salem (U.R) Dr. James
Ashbaugh, director of Marion
county's juvenile department,
charged today that low wages
are "practically wrecking" the
county juvenile program.
Ashbaugh said there had been
three resignations in the counsel
ing department in the past
month, all for reasons of pay.
The juvenile director said Ma
rion county pays the lowest
salaries of any of the 21 other
Oregon counties which have ju
venile counselors.
Dr. Ashbaugh said counselors
are offered $297 per month in
the county with no promise of
an increase. ,
Governor Solicits
Realtor Cooperation
Salem (U.R) Gov. Elmo
Smith enlisted support from
Oregon's realtors today and
pledged his own cooperation in
attempting to solve growing city
and county "fringe area" prob
lems. The governor told the Oregon
Association of Real Estate
Boards' convention that Ore
gon's growth must be controlled
and directed toward the goals of
society.
He specifically mentioned zon
ing programs that will insure
orderly development in rural
and suburban areas; develop
ment of adequate services such
as water, sanitation and fire
protection for suburban areas:
development of private low-cost
housing for older citizens; and
slum clearance and city housing
renewal programs.
More Chinese Red
Troops Enter Burma
Rangoon ;U.R) The newspa
per Nation reported Sunday that
Chinese Communists have sent
another 900 troops into Burma
and occupied key territory in a
new series of aggressions.
The report was not confirmed
immediately, but the newspaper
was the first to report a Chinese
invasion by several hundred
troops a month ago. This was
later confirmed.

after changing their stories several times, Richard ad

The Moulin Rouge threatened

The famous Ciro's nightclub

Business became so good again
owner Herman Hover reopened
the big club. But it has an esti

Hover optimistically says the
nightclub business "has the
greatest future it's ever had be
cause it's the only pure enter

"Until the man on television
can reach out and shake the

says.

Stevenson Attends
Episcopal Church
Dclaplane, Va (U.R) Ad
lai Stevenson caught an Episco
palian rector by surprise Sunday
when he showed up for a Sun
day morning service while the
house guest of Philip Graham,
president and publisher of the
Washington Post and Times Her
ald. Stevenson attended services at
little 100-year old Emmanuel
Episcopal church along with
about 30 other persons.
When newsmen told the
churchs rector,, the Rev. Harold
Peters, that Stevenson was about
to arrive, the rector exclaimed:
"My word."
He confided that 'due to an
apparent misunderstanding he
had been expecting Gov. Thomas
B. Stanley of Virginia.
Egyptian, Israeli
Forces Skirmish
Cairo (U.R) An Egyptian
military spokesman said today
an "armed clash' took place be
tween Egyptian and Israeli for
ces Sunday at Sabda, an Egyp
tian out post in the Sinai desert.
The military spokesman did
not report casualties in the clash.
"An Israeli patrol crossed the
truce demarcation line in the
Sabda region and clashed with
one of our patrols which forced
it to withdraw into the Palestine
area." the Egyptian spokesman
said.
Sabda is an Egyptian position
on the western side of the El
Auja demilitarized zone in the
Sinai Desert and is close to the
old frontier between Egypt and
Palestine.

Bow Bells of
Washington The famous Bow
Bells of London's church of St.
Mary-le-Bow will soon ring
again.
The old church, nearly des
troyed by Nazi bombs in World
War II, is now being rebuilt, the
bell tower to be its first restora
tion. Most of the 12 bells already
have been cast from the melted
down fragments. Before the end
of the year, it is hoped they will
play once more the tune that
brought Dick Whittington back
to the city to star in one of the
world's best known success
stories.
According to the legend, young
Dick Whittington, poor appren
tice to a medieval London mer
chant, decided to run away. On
his way out of town he heard
the Bow Bells chiming, "Turn
back Whittington, Lord Mayor
of London." The boy returned to
One Dentist for Each
1,667 Persons in US
Chicago (U.R) There is
one dentist in the United States
for each 1,667 persons, accord
ing to the American Dental As
sociation. The association's bureau of
economic research and statistics

dentists in the country at 97,
529. The total includes 90.239 civ
ilian dentists and 7,290 serving
in the armed forces, the U. S.
Public Health Service and the
Veterans Administration.
The total estimated for 1956
was 1,646 higher than last year,
when there was one dentist for
each 1,669 persons, arfd it was
3,803 over the 1954 figures,
when the ratio stood at one den
tist for each 1,677 persons.
The eastern part of the coun
try and the west coast are served
by more dentists in proportion
to population than any other
parts of the country, the survey
showed.
The regional leader, with one
dentist for every 1,402 persons,
is the area that includes Dela
ware, the District of Columbia,
Maryland, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia. -
The New England area is sec-'
ond with one dentist for each
1,497 residents. The Far West,
including California, Nevada,
Oregon and Washington, is
third, with one dentist for every

Whittington Fame To Ring Again Soon
fulfill the prophecy, it is said,
with four terms of office.
Norman-Period Foundation
The history of St. Mary-le-Bow
goes back to the time of
William the Conqueror. Still
part of its foundation is a Nor
man crypt whose stone "bows,"
or arches, supported an earlier
church. From this architectural
form, then new in England for
such construction, the name
"Bow" is believed to be derived.
At least as early as the 14th
century, curfew was rung by
Bow church bells. The original
set contained only six. the ones
that tolled for Dick Whittington.
These were destroyed, along
with the first house of wprship.
during London's Great Fire of
1666.
The present church was de
signed by the architectural gen
ius. Sir Christopher Wren, who
built dozens of the British capi
tal's outstanding structures.
Completed about 1680, St. Mary-le-Bow
was the most expensive
of his churches. Its 222-foot
steeple has been called his mas
terpiece. Wren planned a ring of 12
bells, of which only eight were
set up. The tenor cracked and
was recast in 1738, and 20 years
later the others were condemned
and replaced. Eventually the re
maining four were added.
An Unlucky Past
During the 1941 blitz, fire con
sumed the old wooden spiral
stairway that led to the steeple.
It left little more than the bell
tower and church shell. Tragedy
had come again to the unlucky
church site. .
"For divers accidents," wrote
Kefauver Reaffirms
Promise of Parity
Janesville, Wis. U.R) Vice
presidential candidate Estes Ke
fauver today reaffirmed the Dem
ocratic party's promise to get
farmers 100 per cent of parity
for their crops.
"Our party is committed to
achieving 100 per cent of parity
farm prices." he said in a speech
prepared for delivery here.
"That is what our platform
promises, and we Democrats in
tend to keep our promises when
we make them."
He flew into this farm state
on his first campaign swing on
his own as his party's vice pres
idential nominee, with an agri
culture program calling for a
food stamp program for distri
bution of surplus food to the
needy, and an expanded school
milk and lunch program.

Tom Shepard
Assistant Campaign Chairman
the 16th-century historian, John
Stow, (this church) "hath been
made more famous than any
other." In 1090, he continued, a
tempest "overturned" the roof,
"slaying some persons." In 1271,
much of the steeple fell down,
killing many others.
Each of the new Bow Bells has
been formally christened at a
ceremony remindful of ship
launchings. "Katharine," one of
the latest recast, was named by
the master founder of a company
that has made Bow and other
bells since 1570.
Only one tradition of the Bow
Bells seems in danger of passing.
An old saying has it that the
true Cockneys meaning resi
dents of the heart of London
who speak in accents familiar
around the world are those
born within sound of the chimes.
