To End
126th Ballot Shows
Pearson and Gill
Still Deadlocked
Salem (U.R) The Oregon Sen
ate took up today where it left
off on the eve of the 1957 ses
sion getting nowhere on its
choice for president.
Some observers had hoped
that the senators, evenly divided
at IS Republicans and 15 Demo
crats, would get together in
formally over the week end after
recessing Saturday afternoon,
and reach a compromise agree
ment on committeiistribution
that would pave the way for a
break in the choice for president.
Bolton on Rostrum
But when the Senate convened
shortly after 10 a.m. today, with
Sen. Howard Belton of Canby
still on the rostrum as tempor
ary chairman, the vote was 14-14-1
14 for Sen. Walter J.
Pearson, Portland Democrat; 14
for Sen. Warren Gill, Lebanon
Republican, and one vote cast
by Gill for Sen. Belton.
Sen. G. D. Gleason, Portland
Democrat was absent. He phoned
that he was on his way along the
ice-slippery highway, and on
motion of Sen. Monroe Sweet
land, Milwaukie Democrat, the
Senate recessed until 10:30 a.m.
following the pattern today
that has characterized the week's
deadlock in the Senate-tie vote,
recess, tie vote, recess.
Formula Sought
During each recess, negotia
tors for each party have tried
to arrive at the committee dis
tribution formula that would
break the deadlock and make
possible election of president.
After casting the 126th ballot
in the longest voting for leader
ship in the history of the Oregon
Senate, the upper House recessed
shortly after 11:30 a.m. until 2
p.m.

of a young man who held a state
police officer at gunpoint, then

said he had stopped a jeep pick
up bearing , California license
plates this morning to check it

He said the driver, described
as about 16 years old, pulled a
gun on him and kept him cov
ered while he got into the police
car and sped away.
Russian Nuclear Explosion
Told by Atomic Commission
Washington (U.R) Russia
has exploded another nuclear
weapon, the Atomic Energy
Commission announced Sunday.

demonstration of American
strength.
The AEC said Russia exploded
the nuclear weapon Saturday.

Gomulka Appears
As Overwhelming
Winner in Poland
Warsaw (U.R) Communist
Party Leader Wladyslaw Gomul-
ko, fortified by his victory in
Sunday's national elections, is
expected today to waste little
time in sweeping out the last of
the die-hard Stalinists from party
ranks. .
Official results of the parlia
mentary elections will not be
known until Tuesday. But all
indications pointed to an over
whelming popular vote of con
fidence in the rebellious Com
munist leader who severed Po
land's tightly-knit dependency
on Moscow.
There was a surprisingly heavy
turnout of voters for the crucial
elections. Gomulka had warned
a defeat for his candidates would
"cross out the independence of
our country, and cross out Po
land from themap of Europe."
Unofficial results showed from
91 to 96 per cent of the 17.5 mil
lion eligible voters cast ballots,
apparently spurred by Gomul-
ka's warnings and the get-out-and-vote
drive by the Roman
Catholic church.
Incomplete unofficial returns
gave Gomulka 99.5 per cent of
the valid ballots.
Second with 98.4 per cent was
independent" Jerzy Hrynie-
wiecki, third with 98.3 per cent
was Jerzy Zawieyski, a Catholic
Activist who ran with the prob
able support of Roman Catholic
Primate Stefan Cardinal Wys-
zinsky.
Austria To Protest
Hungary 'Invasion'
Vienna (U.R) The Aus
trian government was reported
drafting today a strong protest
against the "invasion" by armed
Communist Hungarian border
guards in pursuit , of refugees
from their Soviet dominated
homeland.
At least 30 Hungarian guards
crossed about 200 feet into Aus
tria Sunday and opened fire on
20 men, women and children
who had slipped through the
Iron Curtain. All but one were
herded at gun-point back into
Hungary.
The one Hungarian to escape
reached freedom with a Commu
nist bullet in his back. He ideni
fied himself as a former Hun
garian soldier who fought
against Soviet tanks and troops
in the battle of Budapest.

"The building of such a peace is a bold and solemn purpose. To

"We recognize' and accept our own deep involvement in tho

"No people can live to itself alone.
"To counter the threat of those who seek to rule by force, we
must pay the costs of our own needed military strength, and help
to build the security of others."
"We live in a land of plenty, but rarely has this earth known
such peril as today. . . . This is no time to ease or rest.
"In too much of the earth there is want, discord and danger.
"From the deserts of North Africa to the islands of the South

"The world of international Communism has itself been shaken
by a fierce and mighty force: The readiness of men who love free

the name of a city. Henceforth it is a new and shining symbol of

Taking Out Shells
Stanley Jobe, Ashland High
school principal, said another
15-year-old boy was attempting
to take some shells out of the
.38 caliber revolver when Jerry
grabbed the gun barrel and the
weapon discharged, apparently
by accident. Jobe said one of
the shells was believed to be
defective and prevented the ac
cident from being more serious.
The bullet entered the palm
of Jerry's right hand and came
out about four inches above his
wrist, police said. After leaving

Thousands Hear
Eloquent Second
Inaugural Address
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower today pledged
America's might and wealth to
help "heal this divided world"
and bring it peace with justice
under law.
To achieve this goal "will be
hard" and "we must be . . .
ready to pay its full price," the
President said.
"High will be its cost," he
said, "in toil patiently sustain
ed, in help honorably given, in
sacrifice calmly borne."
Mr. . Eisenhower proclaimed
this nation's "deep involvement
in the destiny of men every
where" in an eloquent second
inaugural address before thou
sands massed in front of the
Capitol building at the country's
43rd inauguration of an elected
president.
A few moments before in a
solemn and prayerful ceremony
he and Vice President Richard
M. Nixon repeated the oaths of
office they had taken Sunday in
the privacy of the White House
President Leads Parade
The capitol ceremony and the
President's brief 2,000-word ad
dress were followed by a mam
moth parade led by the Presi
dent up Constitution ave: from
the Capitol to the White House.
. In the parade were awesome
weaDons symbolizing U. S. mill
tary power. It was "the most
spectacular event of the three
day inauguration ceremonies
which brought thousands of Am
ericans to their capital city. The
festivities which started Satur
day afternoon will reach tneir
jubilant climax at four inaug
ural balls starting tonignt ana
continuing into Tuesday's early
hours.'
But the President's address
was solemn, ana ne aia ni
emphasize military might. The
tone was in sharp contrast to me
gaiety of other phases of the
quadrennial celebration. The
title he gave nis aaaress was
The Price of Peace."
Speaks To World
'We live in a land of plenty,"
he said, "but rarely has this
earth known such peril as to
day . . . This is no time of ease
or rest ... In too much of the
earth there is want, discord,
danger."
The force dividing tne im
periled world is "international
Communism" which, the Presi
dent said "strives to seal forever
the fate of those it has enslaved"
and to sunder "the ties that
united the free.
The President addressed him
self not only to his countrymen
but to the Hungarian freedom
fighters and captive peoples
everywhere, to the troubled men
and women of the Middle East,
to North Africans, to the Russian
peoples themselves.
He assured those who seek
U.S. help that "we no more seek
to buy their sovereignty than we
would sell our own."
Of the captive Red satellites
who long for freedom, he said
"We seek neithertheir military
alliance nor any artificial imita
tion of our society."
To the Russians he voiced
hope for "the coming of that day
when our peoples -may freely
meet in friendship.
Take Oaths of Office '
Mr. Eisenhower spoke from a
huge columned platform facing a
throng gathered in the plaza on
the east side of the Capitol: Rain
which fell in the night turned to
a drizzle shortly before dawn,
and ended long before the cere
mony.
The U.S. Marine band signaled
the seating of the President with
"Hail to The Chief." Dr. Edward
L. R. Elson, pastor of the Na
tional Presbyterian church where
the President worships, gave the
invocation. ... .

Asked in Resolution
United Nations, N.Y. (U.R)
Sweden today proposed a two
year moratorium on nuclear
weapons tests.
Swedish delegate Richard
Sandler asked the U.N. Main Po
litical committee to consider a
standstill in explosion of atomic
and hydrogen weapons until the
General Assembly's Scientific
committee, collecting data on ra
diation effects, reports in 1958.
Ample Reason Seen
"In my view," Sandler said,
there exists- ample reason to
ask for a standstill, a morato
rium, in the testing of nuclear
weapons, until that committee
has reported its findings and the
assembly has acted upon them.
'From the genetic point of
view, there is unanimity among
scientists that every increase in
the sum of radiation is harmful,
and it is the sum that counts.
The most important thing we
know now is that we do not
know. And, indeed, we know all
too little about those genetic
consequences. But at a time
when we know more, in what
way could we undo the harm
possibly done today?"
Advance Registration
Norwegian Assistant Foreign
Secretary Dag Bryn and Japa
nese delegate Renzo Sawada for
mally presented, in cosponsor-
ship with Canada, a resolution
calling for advance registration
with the United Nations of all
nuclear tests.
Bryn said the registration
resolution was designed as an
opening step toward outlawing
nuclear weapons.
