Powers Clash
On Candidate
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWEH
LONDON, Jan. 23 t.'P) The
top men of the five principal
powers in the United Nations
met secretly in the office of
secretary of Mate James r.
Byrnes todav and were report
ed to have failed again to agree
on a candidate for secretary
general of the new security or
ganization.
The negative result of tne
90-minute meeting led some of
ficials to express fear that the
five powers were drifting to
ward a deadlock on the ques
tion, made more acute by
charges of political interference
made by Iran against Kussia
and by Russia against the Brit
ish in ureece and Indonesia,
American officials had hoped
to make swift progress on the
situation today, both at the five
power meeting and a later in
formal session of representa
tives of all 11 security council
members, so the new peace or
ganization could begin bunding
its permanent staff.
The five powers nave to
agree in order for the full coun
cil to nominate a man whom
the Sl-member general assem
bly may accept or reject.

Woman Struck
By Automobile
(Continued from Page Onel
car went another 25 feet before
stopping, police said.
Unconscious, Mrs. Frain was
rushed to the hospital by the
Merchants Police ambulance.
The impact of the blow was so
great it damaged the griir and
headlight of the car, which is
owned by Mrs. Mabel E. Ward,
534 Torrev, police said.
Vehicle Held
The vehicle was brought to
the Dolice station and is being
held until after McCulloch's ap
pearance in court.
Police said that Mrs. Frain
had just gotten out of a car driv
en by Mrs. Ruth Lindsay, 1614
Kane, in front of Emil's Food
store on S. 6th and had started
across the street when she was
struck. Mrs. Lindsay had driven
away and did not know of the
accident until this morning.
McCulloch told police he did
not see the woman crossing the
street and that his vision was not
good because of a dirty wind
shield. The street was wet and
weather foggy.
In the car with him was Bev
erly Coats, also of route 3. The
accident happened in a highly
traveled zone in which the police
have set 25 miles per hour as the
speed limit. Police said McCul
loch was exceeding the limit.
At the hearing this afternoon
witnesses will be called in and
McCulloch may be asked to make
a statement before the district
attorney, police said.
Mrs. Frain's husband. Rode
rick Frain, was advised today of
his wifes Injuries, train oper
ates a ranch at Copco. Calif..
just over the Oregon line. Mrs.
Frain has a son, Hardman, stu
dent at Klamath Union high
school.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 23 UP)
Senators Cordon and Morse of
Oregon conferred briefly today
with President Truman. They
declined to discuss with White
House reporters the nature of the
call. I-
their boxes clear of drifts or the
weather has been such that no
drifts have formed about the
boxes.
The Rocky Point slur route, a
35-mile stretch of mostly tin
paved road, usually about the
worst route in the winter time
is in good condition at present.
If much wet thawing weather
occurs In the next few weeks
the picture m a y be reversed,
Hawkins said.
So far this winter the weather
has been favorable to road travel
witli rains following heavy snow
falls and reducing tne drills
along tho carrier route. Cold
weather usually follows the rain
keeping the roads frozen and
free of mud traps, facilitating
rural mail deliveries on schedule.
