Before action was - taken, Wnvnr Ostendorf produced a let- !er from Keller in which Keller luggested that tho council wait i week before making an ap pointment. He also suggested the names of Earl Hamaker and Myrle C. Adams as possible touncil material. Sifttd th. LUt Landrv tlien stated the coun oilmen had sifted the list of voters in ward No. 2 looking for touncil possibilities. He said they had considered Adams and city cemetery committee,' and not ilHQ U111C IU I'UIIUIIUC UU MIC or tnat reason nis name was drooped. Hamaker was contact ed, but because of his connection with a federal agency could not accept the job. - Landry said the councilmen had agreed that Van Doren,- a oast exalted ruler of the Elks who is well-known in the com munity, was well qualified for the appointment ana nis name wne nlnoed in nomination. At this point, Mayor Osten dorf produced anotner leuer from Councilman Keller. This letter said Keller did not know, at the time he agreed to resign, that Mayor Ostendorf had not been informed of the plan. Had he known the mayor had "been kept in the dark on the matter, he said, he would not have re signed. Councilman Angus Newton then nroDosed that the council withhold action for a week, as suggested by Keller, to give voters of ward No. 2 a chance to make suggestions. Stormy D.bat. Councilman Landry remarked that ' we have considered this matter a lone time. "Who the hell is we?" asked Newton in a loud voice. "Members of the council," re plied Landry. Landry remarked further that he understood Mayor Ostendorf knew enough about the matter tnat ne naa ouerea tne jod to a "couple of candidates." "Not me," said the mayor. "I haven't the authority to do that." "We're glad you realize that now," answered iandry. and Van DoreA's appointment went through without a dissent ing vote. Under a charter amendment council has authority to fill va- cancies In its membership. Prior 10 tnat Hcuun, sucn vacancies were tilled by special election. Van Doren's term will continue until the next general election, November, 1946. Keller was president of the council at the time of his resig nation, and it is presumed the council will elect a new presi dent after Van Doren is sworn in. The president of the council presides at sessions when the mayor is absent.

Purpose of the meeting was to draft a western hemisphere mutual defense treaty. . It was delayed because of distaste for Argentina s present .govern' ment. - - Vandenbere said in the senate he favors joint action to "stamp out fascism or communism" in the western hemisphere. But the United States must not act alone, he continued, in such situations as the asserted fail ure of Argentina's government to comply with the democratic commitments made at Mexico City and San Francisco.

The communists announced a campaign to raise 200,000 yen (about $13,334) from the public to assist released political pris oners and relatives of others who died in jails. The communists have no full platform yet, but their speakers repeatedly - have insisted on elimination of tennoism. This unprecedented open discussion of tennoism as a political issue apparently has heightened con fusion among the public, which is shocked by recent challenges to customarily veiled security of the emperor. STATE RESTS CASE (Continued from Page One) - not answer questions asked him and appeared to be in a daze or to have had a paralytic stroke. . Under cross-examination, how ever, Dr. Adler said the condi tion described might have come from a convulsion but not from shock at the time of the accident. Shock, he declared, would have left Young flaccid and slumped over -. But, Dr. Adler stated later, he could not say just what. was the basis of the defendant's physical trouble. With Dr. Adler's testi mony the state rested its case. Humble's first witnesses yes terday afternoon told the circum stances of the accident. N. O. White, employee of Lombard Motor company at 6th and Plum, testified that he saw Young's au tomobile crash into the rear of a car belonging to George Hixon wmcn was parked at the inter section on S. 6th. Found McPh.rr.n White was the first man to reach the scene of the accident. He found McPherren pinned be tween the two cars, badly in jured, and called an ambulance. Hixon was lying in the street, also injured. - White said that Young was sitting in his car staring straight ahead, pale and apparently dazed. After the cars had been parted and McPherren 'extricat ed from between the bumpers, White said. Young attempted to start his machine, whereupon he. White, took possession of the keys which he later turned over to a police officer. Hixon was the next witness called. He related how he had momentarily glanced over his shoulder, and saw Young's car approaching and had leaDed back just as the car struck. His right leg was caught between the bumpers. Young remained seated at the wheel. Hixon said, not speaKing, and appeared a little pit dazed." i Odell Olson, city traffic offi cer, arrived at the scene a few minutes after the accident and had Younir taken to the nolice station. Olson testified that Mrs. Young told him her husband shouldn't be driving the car in the condition he's in," and Vern wagner, city policeman, who took the defendant to the station stated on the stand that he heard Mrs. Young ask her husband if he had "blacked oujf." Dr. Adler defined1 the term "blacked out" as a "sudden loss of consciousness," this morning, i ', i Searching Party Hunts Marine PENDLETON,'. Ore.;?

There were signs that fur ther discussions will be held bo- fore the White House issues any statement, and even that the whole matter may be deferred until the labor-management con ference beginning November S. YEARS OF AGE (Continued from Page One) this legislation promptly while the danger is still fresh in our minds while we still re member how close we came to destruction four years ago while we can vividly recall the horrors of invasion which our allies suffered and while we can still see all the ravages and ruin of war," the president de clared. All young men, Mr. Truman asserted, should be Included in the training program, . whether physically qualified for actual combat service or not. Ho urg ed no exemptions for occupation, dependency "or for any other reason except total physical dis qualification." "There should be a place into which every young American can fit in the . service of our country," said the president. "Some would be trained for combat, others would be trained for whatever war service they are physically and mentally Qualified to perform. "It is only by strength that we can Impress the fact upon possible aggressors that we will tolerate no threat to peace or liberty." Congrats Has Power The president emphasized that congress alone could send trainees under the universal training program into the army and navy and that if the time came "these trainees could be inducted' only by selective pro cess, as they were inducted for World War 1 and world war II." 'The great difference between having universal , training and having no training however." the president declared, "Is -that in time of emergency, inose wno would be selected for actual military service would already have been basically trained. "That difference may be as much as a year's time. That dif ference may be the margin be tween the survival and the de struction of this great nation." Under his' plan; the president asserted, provision should be made within the armed services to help trainees improve their educational status. "The year of universal train ing should provide ample op porunity for self improvement," he continued. "Some part of the training could .be used to de velop skills which would be use ful; in future civilian life just as such skills have been de veloped during ! the present Tax Slash Bill Gets Approval WASHINGTON. Oct. 23 MP) The senate finance committee to day formally approved the new taxxutting bill, giving taxpayers a saving of $5,625,000,000 next year. . . .. The overall figure, based on revised estimates by experts, is $4,000,000 smaller tnan the on- Sinai estimate of tax reductions l the senate bill. Chairman George (D-Ga.) said there was only one last-minute attempt to amend the bill and that failed. Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich.) moved unsuccessfully to give corporations a retroactive $25,000 exemption from the ex cess profits tax, applicable to 1845 income.
