The man who died at the hand of an assassin RiKday night was manager of the center's big cooperative stores, which do an enormous busi ness. It was his job to keep the cooperative going during the trouble last year. He was by ' reputation an "able business man and a con servative, and by the nature of his job he stood for order and calm in the settlement. A lqng knife eliminated him. It would seem that'"WRA officials and the elvil authorities will need to clean this case up as completely as possible, or there will be more , violent death in the night and more, disruptive. disturbances. . il-j?. .

Five Killed, 26 nured In Sania Fe Train Wreck FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., July 4 (IP) rive persons were known to be dead and 26 Injured when the locomotive of the westbound Banta Fe Chief and 12 cars were derailed and telescoped 18 miles west of here shortly before mid hight, railroad officials said to IBay. f John O.

Slight Injuries Five mail clerks in the mail car which was one of those that leiescopea over the engine es caped with slight injuries. , The injured were taken to hospitals at Bellemont, Williams and here.

So Arnall told the leaders. Wisdom would seem to require the president to throw the vice presidential contest here July 19 open to the convention, and let the party fight out the nominee. Unity might thus be achieved, or at least an acceptable decision reached, which would be of benefit in the cam paign. All chance that this may yet be done cannot be abandoned. Last time five vice presi dential candidates came to Chicago thinking they enjoyed presidential favor, not in the least suspecting Wallace would be chosen above them. The president's words are often more affable or hopeful than accurate or frequently misin terpreted. . Trouble With Wallace FURTHERMORE, much as Mr. R. may grease the convention skids and crack down on his opposition, he will have trouble here with Wallace. There is a live prospect that the president's wishes will be upset, and another nominee for the vice presidency chosen. The party is determined to get something out of this situation and it may well be the vice presidency. I look for a determined fight and perhaps an upset on Wallace, although not upon the. negro question. Choice of Oklahoma's Gov. Robert S. Kerr as keynoter is obviously an effort to fix a new tone for the Roosevelt convention. Kerr is a Baptist Sunday school teacher 'and a bluff, hardy, southwestern talker, without inhibitions. They say Mr. Roosevelt chose him because he is such an ardent FDR fan, perhaps more ardent than the senators who usually do the keynoting jobs. But I think it was because Kerr is from the new south and a governor. He thus may speak toward the recalcitrants of this region, (particularly Texas) and at the same time offset in some degree the parade of governors at the republican convention. National Chairman Hannegan from nearby Missouri sug gested him to the president, although he is not well known nationally or in the west. As a well-to-do cattle and oil man, he may handle those two sore subjects to Mr. Roosevelt's ad vantage. His friends say he drinks nothing but water, although he does not impose his habits on his friends. Campaign Evident campaign Mr. Roosevelt has in mind is beginning to be evident as a result of recent government actions, particularly in liquor holiday. Both production- Jst Donald Nelson and Rubber Synthesist Dewey had testified almost ' flatly to congress, four alcohol was released by the gov- eminent for the holiday, that such action would be impossible anytime in the near future. "No immediate prospect," were their words. Now the excuse is being offered that the synthetic is higher than expected. Two men like Nelson and Dewey, on their jobs, have had so little vision as NOT at a distance of four weeks. naturally-lay the holiday down They also think there will be relaxation of rationing and re the people in a happy mood If Mr. Roosevelt makes more than one or two campaign speeches I will be surprised. I look for him to become deeply absorbed in peace final preparations in August or November, either going abroad other nations here, at that time, leaders can come. The news he which a meeting, with radio a traveling fireside, could well furnish his campaign material, leaving the an swering of Dewey to others except as I say for trains. The eastbound Chief was being held at Ashfork. Fifth Car The fatalities occurred in the fifth car from the engine, accord ing to a returning eye-witness, ueputy sneritf e. v. Kussel. The first four cars were bag gage cars and apparently they catapulted over the engine whicn was twisted on its right side in the middle of the track. The next car, believed to have been the lead passenger car, was crusnea against the engine. Scalded One man was scalded to aeatn from steam from the en gine," Russell said.

Traffic Loss in Oregon Amounts to $10 ,3 SO ,000 Oregon's economic loss In 1943 as a result of traffic acci dents is estimated at $10,350,000, according to the booklet "Oregon Traffic Accident Facts," just pub lished by the safety division of the office of Bob Farrell, secre tary of state. The booklet is the annual stat istical review of the traffic acci dent experience of Oregon, cover ing facts and figures on 1943 accidents. The economic toll of traffic- accidents is based on a loss of $45,000 per fatality, including insurance costs, medical service costs, lost earning power and lost production power. The review of 1943 arc-Menis which may be obtained bv writ! ing the Safety Division, Secre tary of State, Salem, Ore., shows that the 1943 death toll of 230 persons was 15 per cent lower Hildebrand A number nf npnn1 nf tun xiuaeorana district attended the auction sale held at the John Horn ranch in Langell valley Sunday.
