It was also reported his only weapon was a .4a cau-1 bcr revolver and he has a limit ed supply of ammunition. He had been expected home at dinner time, his wife said. She added that he was suffering from a se vere cold and had a chrome heart condition. Mrs. Kennady said her hus band frequently went hunting within a mile or two of their home, about lour miles soulh of McKee bridge. When ne lancu to return, she said she searched the area surrounding their home. Three days later she asked a neighbor. E. Finlcy. to help look for the man.

None of the searchers expected to find the man alive. About 6 p.m.. Officer Anders was directed to contact another r-nniier area couple, Mr. and Mrs. Z. J. Collings. since tele phone connections were faulty at that time, he and Deputy DeBer ry drove to the Collings resi dence. There, the officers were informed that Arthur Johnson, who lives in the vicinity of Ba ker's flat, had given Kennady a ride to Provolt Wednesday. Kennady was quoted as say ing he had left home because of Hnmosiir miarrel and had "laid out'" all Tuesday night.

It was indicated the matter would be "dropped" after restored disgraced "Titoist" Wladyslaw Gomulka and two of his once-imprisoned colleagues to power. It was the first major political realignment since the Poznan riots. The Central committee of the Polish United Workers (Commu nist)" party elected four new members at its long-awaueu plenary session. The 58-year-old Gomulka was one o them. Allies Before Purge The other three were political allies of Gomulka's up to the time of his purge during the 1948 Titoist upheaval, and two of them went to prison with him then. Gomulka's 'restoration to the Communist leadership has long been expected. It was believed now he would be further pro moled to the Politburo the in ner ruling Communist circle of the Central committee and pos sibly to the cabinet. Others Elected Elected with him to the cen tral committe itself were: Marian Spychalski, purged ad vice minister of defense and ar rested. He was released after Jo sef Stalin's death and now is a hospital official here. Aanon Kliszako, purged as vice minister of justice at the same time at Gomulka and ar rested. He recently was restored to his post. Ignacy Loga Sowinski, a po litical ally of Gomulka's who survived the T itoist purge. He is a trade union official.

A total of 54 attorneys re turned their ballots. Of these 36 said they prefer1 Thomas J. Reeder, Democratic candidate; 15 preferred Walter Nunley, the Republican incumbent, and there were single write-in votes for William Duhaime and Man ville Heisel, neither of whom are candidates. One attorney ex pressed no preference. O. H. Bengtson has announced that he will not be a candidate for district attorney. Several residents recently organized a committee to campaign for Bengtson as a write-in candidate. Bengtson said he appreciated efforts made by county residents who organized the committee Bengtson said he felt since me office was not on a non-partison basis, "one seeking the office should declare himself and seek the nomination of his party in the primary election." traveling with the chief excu tive described as the "biggest and best" of any reception the president has received thus far on his western campaign swing Thousands of persons jammed the eight-mile parade route to get a glimpse of the President and the first lady as they rode from the Portland international airport in the specially built glass domed car. Defends Partnership In his major address to a na tional radio and television audi ence last night, the president staunchly defended his admin istration's partnership power policy and lashed out sharply at Democratic charges of "giveaway." "Our partnership policy is de signed to meet great and grow ing needs. Power requirements for the next ten years will cost $40 billion. 'There is not and there will not be that much federal money to be distributed in such a per iod," the president said. "Only Ihe partnership program can do the job that must be done quickly and efficiently." Praises McKay The president recommended the election of Douglas McKay to the Senate in both his after noon and evening appearances "In this political business, I commend to you just one thing Honesty just . jipin honesty.. Mr. Eisenhower said. "I don't think honesty is so rare that you have to pin a big medal on the man who has it. But I do insist over and over again put' someone in public office on whose word you can depend." "I therefore bring this word to vou in that connection Douglas McKay," the president told his loudly cheering and ap- lauding audience. At the afternoon meeting at the Auditorium, the president said, "My eyes are full of con fetti and I left my voice out at the airport. It was a joyous route." Secret service men accompa nying the president had a shaky moment last night. Explodes Like Shot About two minutes before the President entered the Mult nomah hotel someone dropped l a light bulb from an upper story room of the hotel and it exploded like a shot. A check failed to turn up the person. Six little girls from Astoria stirred up enthusiasm at the air port as they passed out McKay buttons with the word "Ike" in its center. Tins group calico themselves the . "McKay Hops." Another group, the "McKay- ettes, from Klamath Falls, kept chanting, "Hey, hey, whattya say, vote Ike and McKay."

Clair Encle (D-Calif.) today ac cused Lockheed Aircraft Co., of "spending- more than S2o,000 ot the taxpayers' money to build a captive audience" for a cam paign speech by President Eisen hower. The congressman, California chairman of the Stevenson-Ke-fauver campaign, said the air craft company at nearby Bur bank planned to shut down as sembly lines and give employees time' off with pay to attend Mr Eisenhower's speech at Burbank Airport. -" - "" To Go Over PA System -' Engle charged that the speech also was scheduled to be aired by a public address system throughout the plant. He said the work stoppage would result in a loss of more than $25,000 to taxpayers. "When Gov. Stevenson was here this spring, Lockheed offi cials not only failed to stop work at the plant to permit workers to hear him, but even refused him permission to visit the plant," Engle said. Said in Bad Taste "It is bad taste and unethical of ihe company to deliver a block of voters to any political candidate," John Snider, ma chinists' union president, said. The aircraft company denied the President's speech was being "forced on anyone." A company spokesman said "anyone who does not wish to listen to Mr. Eisenhower could go to lunch." Gold Hill Man Fined On Driving Charge Robert Fulton Carroll, 936 Fifth st., Gold Hill, pieaaea guilty to driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor this morning in district court. He was fined $255, given a 30 day suspended jail sentence during good behavior and upon navmpnt nf fine, and had his dri ver's license suspended for 90 days by Judge Rawles Moore, Arson Suspected In University Dormitory Blaze Fourth Fire in Week On Idaho U. Campus Moscow, Ida. (U.R) Three University of Idaho students were killed today in a dormitory fire which investigators said ap parently was the, work of an arsonist. The university identified the victims as John R. Knudson, IB Idaho Falls, freshman in pre veterinary medicine; William Clair Shuldberg. 18. lerreton freshman in business, and Paul F. Johnson, 18, Davenport, Wash., sophomore in history. They were suitocatea ana burned when the flames, which started in a second-floor lounge of Gait Hall, swept up the stair ways and trapped them on the fourth floor. Gasoline Started "The flash nature of the fire indicates arson," Moscow Fire Chief Carl Smith said. "The way the fire shot up with such ter rific heat indicates it must have had a petroleum base. Some sort of petroleum, perhaps gasoline, anoarentlv had been spread in the lounee before the fire started." It was the fourth dormitory blaze within a week on the campus. Fire Chief Carl Smith said- the previous fires, which caused about $3,000 damage, had been set. "This one stacks up with the rest of them," Smith said. Starts in Lounge The fire broke out about 2:15 a.m. in tne downstairs iuuusc of Gait Hall, a new four-story men s dormitory, ine concrete and brick structure had been termed fireproof. Most of the dormitory resi dents fled outdoors into the near freezing weather. The victims were trapped on the upper floor. Four other students narrowly escaped death. Two of them Himhprt down a firetruck lad der. Two others' made their way un a rone to the roof from where they were able to. jump to the roof of heighbbring Upham Hall. More than 1,000 students aid ed firemen in battling the blaze. They brought it under control in about 45 minutes. The three other fires occurred last week end during homecom ing lestiviiies. ine nrst was uia covered early Friday at Willis Sweet Hall. It damaged two davenports, a window casing drapes. The same damage was caused by a fire early Saturday at Chrisman Hall. The third was discovered in Chrisman Hall Sunday, but there was no dam age. Gait Hall was the newest men's dormitory on the campus. The $500,000 ultramodern struc ture was opened only a year ago. It housed 130 students. Prosecutor Lloyd Martinson said he was conducting an all out investigation" of the fire.

Sen. Hruska. Sen. Barrett and Lineweaver pointed out several times that, since countless stud ies in the Rogue basin have , been made in the past 40 years, a concrete recommendation, should be forthcoming soon. Because of the large number of witnesses scheduled for the one-day hearing, ach has been, asked to give a brief synopsis of his report. Detailed written reports will be admitted in full to the record and the record will remain open for such writ ten statements for several days after the hearing. -The session was recessed at 12:30 p.m. and was to resume at 1:30 p.m. About 23 witnesses wire crhHitln4 In Kn hn-il Ik:. afternoon.

Television Highlight Unless there is an unexpect ed last-minute change. Presi dent Eisenhower's speech from Los Angeles tonight will not be carried on KBES-TV, sta tion officials reported today. His talk from Portland last night was carried by the sta tion, but arrangements for it were not completed until al most 5 p.m., they reported, too late for advance notice to be published in the Mail Tribune. Trivialities Raised to Defeat Morse, Neuberger Says I I lallllWJ m.w . , utilities and sk SENATOR NEUBERGER Speaking At Esquire "The Republicans have no is sues on which to campaign so they're raising trivialities in an attempt to defeat Sen. Wayne Morse," U.S. Sen. Richard L. Ncuberg'cr told about 175 people at Democratic headquarters here last night. Neuberger is in Medford to day attending a Rogue river flood control hearing. He and his wife, Maurine, arrived about ju minutes late for the speaking engagement last night. They had spent -the day in Klamath Falls here the junior senator attena- prf a hearing on Indian affairs. An example of the trivialities the GOPs are using agamsi Morse is the fact that he is not a war veteran, Neuberger said. He pointed out that Morse had wanted to enlist in World War II. but President Roosevelt urg ed him to stay on the war labor board. "Republicans like Thomas E. Dewey, Senator Robert Taft and Arthur Vandenberg were not veterans," he said. "Why is this requirement suddenly applied only to Wayne Morse" In further defense of Morse. Neuberger declared, "the Doug las McKay campaign has shown its poverty of real issues by raising empty protests against the fact that Morse was not born in Oregon." A show of hands in dicated about 85 per cent of the audience had not been born in Oregon. "The Republicans overlook the fact that Oregon Republican mncressmen were born outside the state as well as the Republi-, can candidate for governor. Ap parently, it is the Republican be lief that only Democrats must be born within our boundaries to qualify for public office." The speaker also cast a ques tion "on Republican campaign funds. He said, "Much of the money spent for expensive prints ing advertising, postage, radio and television time on behalf of McKay is done under the name of the Oregon State Republican committee, rather than the Mc Kay for Senator committee, in an effort to obscure the flood of dollars going directly into the McKay campaign." He said a similar device was used by the Republicans in the 1954 campaign when Citizens for Eisenhower spent $37,572. "This sum was used mostly on behalf of Guy Cordon because as everyone knows Eisenhower was not a candidate in that elec tion. This method was used to keep Cordon's name isolated from the total actually spent in his behalf." The senator added, Cordon s supporters posed him as a great friend of public power in the 1954 campaign, but this spring the records of the Federal Power commission showed he received nearly $30,000 in fees from pri vate power companies in the year following his election de feat." Defending Sen. Morse s voting attendance record, he said "Morse's attendance record has been outstanding and better than the record of Oregon Congress man Walter Norblad." Consider able applause and laughter fol lowed his statement, "When the Republicans are absent it's just hecause they would vote wrong anyhow." Neuberger said he was puz zled by charges that Sen. Morse talks too much. "What does a senator do except talk or write," he asked. "Maybe Douglas Mc Kay would go to the senate with a pick and shovel. Everyone would say, 'Look at McKay. He doesn't talk like the rest of the senators. Instead he digs a big hole in the floor.' " Several min utes later, when laughter sub sided, Neuberger declared "The Republican campaign just rinesn't appeal to your intelli gence, but instead, belittles your intelligence." The senator also came out in. favor of the Democratic candi date for governor, Robert Holmes. He stated Holmes naa favored the minimum teachers salary program, program for teachers sick leave, a four-year liberal arts course at Portland State college and endorsement of the UN during the Korean conflict. He declared that Elmo Smith had voted against all these issues. "He won't discuss his votinE record. All he does is Droclaim weeks," Neuberger stated. The speaker emphasized his belief that the agriculture and lumbering programs in Oregon have suffered under the present administration. He added, "The present administration has end ed the low cost Columbia river power program." Neuberger said, "Congressman Harris Ellsworth supported a new $786,000,000 power project in Colorado, yet claimed the Hells Canyon dam project was socialistic. The Republicans have opposed federal power projects in Oregon, while private com rianies have been getting rich. This is whipped iream for pri vate utilities and skim milk for the people, he remarked. "There are 22 senators in the 11 wpstprn states. Eleven of them, all Democrats, voted for a high Hells Canyon dam. The 11 Republicans VOIUU asainai. , he'said. Tt conclusion, the junior sena tor commented, "The Republi can party used to stand for a great deal. It doesn't stand for anything that is good for the people now. Following Neuberger's ad dress, Mrs. Neuberger spoke for about five minutes on the near ins at Klamath Falls. "It was in- tprrstine." she said, "to note how much more interesting the hearing was to the senator irom Montana (Sen. James Murray than to the congressman from that district (Harris Ellsworth. Larrv Sheehan, Democratic central committee chairman nresided over the program. Can didates he introduced included SuDreme Judge David K. van denburg; Ralph James, county commissioner candidate; Tom Rprdpr. district attorney; and Robert Duncan, candidate for stat.
