Stevenson Says Played Blunders Gave Russia Material, Democrats Told Chicago -a'P6-Adlai E. Ste venson charged Thursday night that the Eisenhower ad ministration blundered right into N i k i t a Khrushchev s hands and "Die whole surry mess cannot be swept under the rug in the name of na tional unity." "We handed Khrushchev the crowbar and the sledge hammer to wreck the summit meeting." Stevenson said. "Let there be no mistake about that." Stevenson said, however, it was Soviet Premier Khru shchev and solely Khru-shchev-who w recked the con ference by making the "im possible request" that Presi dent Eisenhower apologize and punisli those responsible for the spy plane flight. "Khrushchev was, in effect, asking the President to punish himself." Stevenson said. 'Must Correct Errors' But, Stevenson went on, "without our series of blun ders, Khrushchev would not have had a pretext for mak ing his impossible demand and wild charges." Stevenson told 2,000 hush ed Democrats attending a $100-a-plate local fund rais ing dinner there was "no question about the worth of national unity in a time of crisis. But errors must be corrected. It is the duty of responsible opposition in a democracy to expose and cri ticize carlcssness and mis takes." He said It was "the duty of all thoughtful, concerned ci tizens to help retrieve the situation and to face the hard, Inescapable facts." First Major Attack Among the facts to be fac ed Stevenson said were: -That the Eisenhower ad ministration "played into Khrushchev's hands; that if Khrushchev wanted to wreck the conference our govern ment made it possible." -'That the administration has acutely embarrassed our allies and endangered our bases." -That the Eisenhower ad ministration has "helped make successful negotiations with the Russians-negotiations that are vital to our survival-impossible so long as they are in power." Stevenson's blistering at tack marked the first time a major Democratic Party lead er publicly has rapped the administration for its hand ling of the spy plane incident and.its summit conference tactics. : 31 Considered ior : $500 Scholarships Thirty-one applications have hppn receiver! from Jackson county schools for the ONC- SO Cal's slep to knowledge S50U scholarship, according to ; Elliott D. llecken, chairnuin of the scholarship judging com- mittce.

He said ; Israel air force planes allowed t the U.N. plane to proceed , ; after it was identified, I To Policy Attack Shocks Nixon Washington - 'I'PD -Vice President Richard M. Nixon was described today as "great ly shocked' by Adlai E. Stev enson s foreign polity attack on the Eisenhower administra tion. The Stevenson speech in Chicago, accusing the admin istration of blunders which contributed to the break-up of the summit conference, was viewed in some Democratic circles as likely to get Steven son increased attention as a possibility for the Democratic presidential nomination. Nixon's reaction of shock Nearly 100 Red Agents Declared Caught Spying Washington - H'PH - A con gressman has made public a detailed "box score" on Soviet espionage which he said show ed that nearly 100 Red agents have been caught spying on the United States and its al lies since World War H. Hop. Cornelius E. Galla gher (D-N.J.) a member of the House Foreign Affairs com mittee, said Thursday, the U2 spy plane espisode was child's play compared to the? wide spread espionage activities of the Russians. 17,000 Believed Activ Gallagher said tile number of Communist spies arrested In the Free World are only a fraction of those operating on Russia's behalf. He said west ern intelligence sources esti mate that Russia at this mo ment has at least 17,000 spies active in free West Germany alone. Furthermore, G a 1 1 a g her said the Communists have kidnaped 255 persons from West Germany "for intelli gence and other purposes." in addition, 23 of the nearly 100 spies arrested in allied coun tries other than West Ger many have been members of the Communist diplomatic corps, he said. To Counter Outcries His report was designed to counter Soviet outcries over the U2 spy plane mission which Russian Premier Niki ta Khrushchev cited to demol ish the summit conference In Paris this week. Sen. Bourke B. Hickenloop er (R-lowa) told the Senate it was "high time" the United States "laid down a list of dates and names" on Russians caught spving in this country- He said that such a dossier would show that no other country has been engaged in "such vast espionage" as Rus sia. The Russians have been spying "brazenly and we know it. Hickenlooper said. Two Accidents Are Reported to Police State polite reported two accidents yesterday in the East Evans Creek area.

Hand was reported by his press sec retary, Herbert G. Klein, who said the Stevenson speech ap parently indicated a split among Democratic parly lead- ers. lie was referring to the fact that Democratic congres sional leaders have been em phasizing calls for national unity behind President Eisen hower. Investigation Promiitd However, these same con gressional leaders also have promised a later investigation of the pre-summit events, In volving the IJ2 spy plane, cited by Soviet Premier Ni kila Khrushchev in his conference-wrecking tactics. By charging the administra tion with blunders which could not be swept under the rug in the name of national unity, Stevenson offered his party some signals about treat ment of the foreign policy issue in the l'Ju'O campaign. lie is expected here Satur day to attend a two-day ses sion of the Democratic Ad visory Council. The week end pronouncements from that parly agency will show wheth er it will lake the Stevenson line in advance of the 1060 Democratic National Conven tion. Handling Questioned Since the summit confer ence fell apart this week. Stevenson partisans have been feeling that his foreign policy background would draw him back into the front rank among contenders for the presidential nomination, which he won in 1952 and 1958. A group of liberal House Democrats issued a statement today questioning the adminis tration's handling of events which preceded collapse of the summit meeting.

Mark Hal field predicted Thursday that Adlai Stevenson will get the Democratic presidential nom ination at the national con vention in July. Macmillan Sees New Dangers in Meeting Failure London -IHi- Prime Mm-" ister Harold Macmillan told the House of Commons today there may be grave impli-, cations, new threats and new rlangpr a a result of the col- I lapse of the summit confer ence. Macmillan, first of the Big Three western leaders to re port publicly on the summit, said "There Is no doubt that what has happened is i ser ious setback." "We must be prepared for the international outlook to become more stern." Eisenhower Praised He praised Eisenhower for wisdom and courage in an nouncing an end to U2 flights and declined to predict what Soviet Premier Nikita Khru shchev has in store for Berlin. Macmillan said Khrushchev Rave no suggestion shortly be fore the summit meeting was to have started that he in tended to wreck it. He said Khrushchev men tioned the U2 spy plane inci dent in a letter eight days be fore the conference and ex pressed belief the conference would achieve little. But he did not indicate his own course, Macmillan said. 'Threats' Seen Ended Macmillan said Khrushchev stated in the letter he would not negotiate under threats, but that Britain believed those "threats" ended when Eisenhower said the spy flights had been suspended. Normally the House of Com mons is almost deserted on Fridays, a iy not devoted to government business. Today it was packed and Macmillan was cheered both as he enter ed and as he left the chamber. "Mr. Khrushchev may have wished to wreck the confer ence." Macmillan said. "He must certainly not be allowed to wreck the western alli ance."

John Bur roughs of New Mexico that Republican Gov. Mark Hat field of Oregon tried to make "political hay" in the western governors conference this week in Seattle brought a curt reply today from Hatfield. Burroughs described Hat field as a "very, ultra-ambi tious young man" and sug gested that he introduced a resolution calling for medical aid to the aged as a propa ganda pitch in a Hatfield bid for the GOP vice presidency.' "It is interesting to note,' Hatfield said, "the governor of New Mexico waited until his return to his state before making these observations. He sat silent in Seattle dur ing the discussions but I un derstand he has a campaign on his hands in New Mexico. 1 I The governors conference ended in Seattle Wednesday. A resolution submitted by Hatfield on medical aid for senior citizens was blocked by a 7-5 straight party vote and Hie resolution was amended "so as to make it valueless, Hatfield said. It finally was unanimously approved. In his reply to Burroughs Hatfield criticized the other Democratic governors who at tended the conference saying, "the charge is a political smokescreen to cover up their refusal to acknowledge their responsibility for care of the aged. "They have ducked leader ship in this area which is one of the most important the na tion laces internally. If 1 have to receive such political punches below the belt be cause of efforts in behalf of those in need, then it is worth the retaliation," Hatfield said Woodburn Marion's Second Largest Salem (UPU Preliminary U. S. census figures revealed today that Woodburn has tak en over as Marion county's second largest city, behind Salem. Census officials said Wood- burn's I960 figure of 3,105 displaced Silverton as the county's number two com munity. Silverton's 1960 cen sus is 3,067.
