Former President Hoover Says Goodbye to Conventions t t vt.B C. WILSON Unitad Prtss International ' Chicago OT - This was it. ' The old man said so himself Monday night in the Interna tional Ampitheatre. He had said goodbye before to Republican national con ventions. ' ' But this time the vast audi ence seemed to feel that his goodbye was for real. The active love affair be tween 85 -year -old Herbert Clark Hoover and the Repub lican Party was drawing to an end. Morality, he told the Republicans 'and his country men was America's need in these troubled times. The old man's listeners in cluded many who had heard It all before. To a handful In the press box, this was an old but well loved story. Counsel Still the Same Thirty-two years ago this old man - then young - was nominated and elected to the office of President of the Unit ed States. Four years later he was renominated in bitterness here in Chicago. For a time thereafter he was the most reviled man in the United States, cruelly blamed for a cruel depression. Except for the changes im posed by the passage of time, the old man's counsel Monday night to modern Republicans was the same'as his counsel in 1928, 1932 and through the years thereafter. Keep the faith! The old man was changed in appearance but not in creed. "Yours is the task," he said in a voice strong for its age, "to stop the moral retreat; to lead the attack to recapture the meaning of the word 'America.' Thus can opportu nity and the spiritual future of your children be assured. "And thus you will win the gratitude of posterity and the blessing of almighty God." The Story Ends The convention cheered the old man at the beginning, there was cheering at the end. But the management of the Republican Party is in new hands now, very new hands. Gov. Nelson A.

Although the rise was not a strong one it was seen by many experts as a successful test of the old lows. Prices Monday came within touching distance of a critical testing area after declining in 11 con secutive sessions. '-. Brokers now are hoping the list will be able to rise stead ily from this level as it did last March 8 and again May 2. However, some the experts say this seems doubtful unless there is a sharp improvement in the international situation and the business outlook.

William Mills, a Medford Scout acting correspondent, said the jamboree opened Fri day evening with a Pageant of American History from 1492 to 1836 with James Ar ness, television personality, narrating it. A cast of more than 5,000 boys participated in the opening ceremonies. Friday was the first "full" day at the jamboree camp, ac cording to Mills. He said many of the Scouts traded with others, some did sight seeing, and others just loafed. Arrive in San Francisco Mills said the caravan ar rived in San Francisco from Medford on time July 13. Fol lowing breakfast in Modesto, Calif., a fire was discovered In the bus that Troop 68 was using. The Scout reported that it was discovered before any harm to the equipment or the "kids" on the bus could be done. He continued, ". . . The fire was under control in a few minutes and the Modesto fire department came in and help ed put out the fire. Another bus was sent to Modesto to carry Troop 68 to Bakersflcld. While on our way to Bakers field another replacement bus was being sent up to Bakers field from Los Angeles. Mean while the bus 68 had gotten In Modesto developed radia tor trouble." The following day, the group left for Gallup, N, M where they viewed a program Six Natives Killed, 60 Others Injured Bulawnyo, Southern Rho desia -(UPll- Mobs ol Africans rampaged through native set tlements for the third day to day and the government or tcrcd a nation-wide call-up of white reserve troops to deal with any emergency. Six natives were reported killed and 60 injured, three of them shot dead by police today. It was the first time police have opened fire on the rioters since they began an orgy of pillaging and looting Sunday. One European was re ported killed but there was no confirmation. The deaths broke the proud 60-year record of Southern Rhodesia which had boasted that no Africans had ever been killed in racial disturb ances. Three of the victims today were killed by whites defending their stores Inside the riot-torn black settle ments. The violence flared again today when 7,000 Africans gathered on a football field and refused to return to their Jobs until three arrested Na tionalist party leaders were freed. The crowd broke up into three gangs which roam ed the African settlement bent on violence. A few Africans, drunk from raids on beerhalls, were re ported roaming the country side near the European sec tions but heavily armed white and native troops supported by armored cars and riot po lice protected the European section of the city. An all-out attempt to end the rioting today began with a major show of force by po lice and army troops who moved through the streets of the African location. Later police and troops launched a house-to-house search. Behind Barred Doorl . About 45,000 whites waited uneasily behind locked and barred doors, the anti-white riots in the nearby Congo fresh in their minds. Throughout the night, flames leaped high over Afri can locations around the city where rampaging natives burned and pillaged beer halls, administrative offices, homes and cars. Premier Sir Edgar (White head flew in here Monday from the capital city of Salis bury and immediately ordered in troop reinforcements to cope with what officials de scribed as an "explosive situ ation." He pledged the dis orders would be put down at all costs. The trouble erupted Sun day in the wake of a round up of native political leaders in Salisbury. A mob of 7,000 natives tried to seize control of the center of the city but was beaten off by police in a day-long battle. on the Navajo Indians and other tribes of the region. En route to La Junta the caravan stopped at the Philmont Scout ranch whre Boy Scouts from all over the nation visit every year to camp. See Indian Dance The evening of July 19 a group of 1,400 Scouts plus vis. itors attended a performance given by the Koshare Indian dancers of Post 2230.
