Tho president's comment was prompted by questions about what might happen if Russia declines to comply with the Unltod States request for the immediate withdrawal of Soviet troops from Iran. That situation, Mr. Truman said, will bo handled when it comes up. A reporter then suggested that a Russian refusal might mean a collapse of the world peace agency. Disagrees The president disagreed strongly, asserting that the UNO would not be allowed to.. coU' lapno,. "Even If Russia went down a one-way street?'' a reporter asked. The president replied he did not believe Russia was going down a one-way street.

Siuwu is a branch railroad town. The anti-communist Catholic newspaper, Social Welfare, charged meantime that Chinese communist forces, in partnership with "certain troops," were making "ferocious attacks" on Chinese government forces in Manchuria. There were no de tails and no confirmation. The Chinese press often uses "certain troops" to denote Russians. A communist dispatch said a truce field team had negotiated an agreement at Linfen in southwestern ShansI province whereby both government and communist troops In four areas nearby would withdraw to posi tions held at midnight January 13, deadline for cessation of the recently ended civil strife.

Numerous Tips Pour In To Police On Tavern Slaying Police work on the El Rancho Tule robbery and brutal killing of Charles Twigg, tavern janitor, last Sunday night has devolved to a checking of myriads of tips. possible, clues and random sug gestions by the sheriff's office here and the same is true for Siskiyou county officials. In the few days since the mur der and robbery officials have been flooded with telephone calls from persons reporting sus picious characters, sudden disap pearances, missing vehicles, un due displays of wealth and the like, Deputy Sheriff Jack Francy said today. v , Every tip, no matter how re mote, has to be checked, on the off chance that somewhere in the. bunch is a live one. Officials are agreed that the El Rancho Tule job was a well planned, professional crime, con sidering that the bandits had two heavy safes to deal with, brought equipment to force entry into the building, truss up Hewitt WW Not Run For Office SALEM, March 8 (JP) De spite pleas of a group, of party members, Roy Hewitt, attorney here, has announced he will not be a democratic candidate for governor in the May primary. "I cannot afford the? sacrifices involved in a political contest at this time," he declared.. His an nouncement followed a statement of candidacy by Carl C.

ARTHUR ; HOLLYWOOD, Mnrch 8 (P) Hay Mlllond lost a week-end. And . Joan Crawford lost the biggest evening of her life. But both won Oscars In the process. ... They were the recipients last night of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sci ences' awards for the best per formances of an actor and ac trees In 1945. The scone was Grnuman's Chinese theatre, tho audience 2100 high stiff shirts and low evening gowns, garbing Hollywood's elite. Thousonds of others, jammed the boulevard outside. But the real drama took place eight miles away, In a Brentwood bedroom. There Miss Crawford, whose unsung aid to the forgotten and needy of filmdom has made her a solidly popular character In a make-believe world, danced around a sickbed. ' , For her, an attnek of Influ enza hnd robbed hor of the moment of glory of which every actress dreams stcp- lng up to receive her Oscnr. ut friends, headed by Direc tor Mike Curtiz who accepted the award in her behalf at the theatre, decided that -even a temperature : of . 102 shouldn t cost her all of the thrill that goes with winning the highest honor Hollywood thousands of workers from grips to ex ecutive producers can be stow. So they went to her ram bling Brentwood home and there, while Joan sniffled and cried, handed her the statu ette. "Usually." she choked, a little ruefully, "I'm ready with the wisecracks. But I can't say anything. My tears speak for me-" t She won the award for her dramatic portrayal of the spurned mother in "Mildred Pierce." It was the best part the former Kansas City depart ment store clerk had been given in her 20 years on the screen. The 18lh announcement party was a night for veterans. Milland, Welsh-born,, has been in Hollywood 1.3 years. And his performance as the pitiful drunk of "The Lost Week End," sparked that picture to one "of, the greatest sweeps since "It Happened One Night" hit the screen in 1934. ; For Paramount, . "Week End" won the selection as the best picture. For Billy Wilder it won-the directorial award and a share of the palm for the best written screen play With Charles Brackett. Thus was vindicated the judgement of Milland, Wilder and Brackett, who doubled . as the film's producer, that it not only would be a powerful message, but would make money. Its success at the box office has surprised all but the confident few. Other major awards went to James Dunn for his superb job as the father in "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" also a drunken role and to the one compara tive newcomer to films, Anne Revere who also played a mother In "National Velvet." They were chosen for the best supporting performances of the year. , To Peggy Ann Garner went a special award as the most promising child actress. The song-writing fame of Richard Rodgcrs and Oscar Hammer stein II was enhanced by se lection of their "It Might As Well Be Spring" as the best original song. For black and white photography, Harry Stradling was named for "The Picture of Dorian Gray " Color honors in the same category went to Leon- Shttmroy ior "Leave Her to Heaven." the janitor, load the safes and then blast them open later. The killing of Twigg was not planned, however. Officers be lieve he was slugged and bound with adhesive tape, but was killed because he recognized: his assailants- or died, of ..the blow which was intended only to knock him out. The thieves apparently, used a covered truck or panel truck, because the safes were too large to be put in a passenger car and would be conspicuous in a pick up. Sheriff Ben Richardson of Siskiyou county, Calif., and two criminologists were in town last night checking a lead picked up down there. Winnie Urges United Stand RICHMOND, Va March 8 (P) Winston Churchill, cau tioning that peace cannot be preserved by casting aside "the panoply of wartime strength," called upon Britons and-Ameri-cans today to stand together "in defense of those causes 'which we hold dear." In an applause-punctuated ad dress to a joint session of Vir ginia's legislature, Britain's war time premier departed from -his prepared address to pay special tribute to Gen. Dwight Eisen hower for his work in welding the allied troops into a force which fought "as soldiers of a single nation." . He did not mention directly his recent appeal for an Anglo American military alliance. But he drew a sustained burst of applause when he cried out: "We should stand together. "We should stand together in malice to none, in greed for nothing but in defense bf those causes we hold dear." Men's Clothing Stores Closed SEATTLE, March 8 (VP) Twenty-five men's clothing stores in Seattle were closed to day by a retail clerks' union (AFL) strike. A spokesman for the 600 union members said the strike action was decided upon when negotiations for a contract be came deadlocked on the wage Issue and working conditions. Neither the union nor the Seattle Clothiers and Furnish ers, the employer organization, would disclose the nature of the demands of the current wage scale. Arriving In United States By The Associate! Press Scott E. Leonard, SSgt,, Klamath Falls, arrived on Pomona Victory due in New York March 10. . Frederick W. Knlellng, T5, Klamath . Falls, arrived on General Hershey due in San Francisco March 3. Tobey Irked Over Turn Of Events WASHINGTON, March 8 (VP) Senator Tobey (R-N.H.) charged today that supporters of Edwin W. Pauley had "reneged" on an informal agreement for with drawal of his nomination as un der secretary of the navy, Tobey, obviously irked at the turn of events, told reporters that "Never in my experience has such a definite promise been made and reneged upon as was made to me in the last 48 hours." Asked if this was a promise that Pauley would request with drawal of the nomination, he re plied that "Some things are so obvious that they -don't need comment. Tobey said he, Senator Tyd ings (D-M.D.), who has been Pauley's chief champion in the month-long hearings, and Chair man Walsh (D-Mass.) would re view ' the.-' situation before the committee meets again this after noon. ' Pauley told reporters when the committee recessed its hear ings at noon that he had not re ceived or sent any letter to Pres ident Truman' concerning pos sible withdrawal of his name. Asked if any of his Supporters had' participated in such an ex change of correspondence, -he re plied that he did not know. . Two senators . who declined use of their names said there had been an exchange of letters between the president - and Pauley. They said this upset an agreement, for the California oil man to quit tomorrow bis fight for confirmation. Pauley himself, however, told the committee he intended to stay in the fight, asserting "no real man quits under fire no honest man withdraws when he knows he is-right." At the same time, Pauley lashed out at' Har old L. Ickes, former secretary of interior, and other-critics. In the letter Mr. Truman was reported to have sent Pauley, the president -was represented as having asked for a delay in any move to withdraw. Senators who said they were informed about the matter added they were told that Mr. Truman de sired additional time to prepare a statement. -5 Pact Sought In Plumbers' Strike An. agreement in the plumb ers' strike is expected to be reached today, it was stated this morning. Plumbers are still negotiat ing with the union to try and make a settlement in the local strike situation.' L. Zieman, fed eral conciliator, arrived from San Francisco Thursday and held a meeting with master plumbers and members of the executive committee of the plumbers local., Another meeting was held Friday afternoon which was ex pected to complete negotiations and bring about a settlement. Fct Parcel Appointed IBy Trumdini By The Associated Press Threat of a nationwide railroad strike today wot pott- poned for at least from 30 to 60 days when President Truman appointed a three-man fact-finding board to investigate the dispute. v ' . .. ; " Appointment of the board automatically delays a sched uled strike under the railway labor act and heads of the tw brotherhoods the trainmen and engineers who had direct ed their 300,000 members to quit work Monday had promisee! in advance to abide by the law. Named to the emergency panel were Justice Leif Erick son of the Montana supreme court; Frank M. Swacker, New York lawyer and Gordon S.

Answering a question ot his news conference, the presi- ueui sciiu iiauy ne wouia noi.T- mtervene in tne stubborn 108- day-old General Motors strike. as suggested by the Detroit city council. He added, in response to an other query that he always had been of tne opinion a settle ment of that dispute should be reached on the basis of the cents recommendation of a fact finding board.- The union has agreed to this figure but General Motors has declined to increase its 18 Vi cents offer. ' ' The president said the 18 cents hourly wage boost he rec ommended and which brought settlement of the steel strike ap plied only to basic steel. He added that he assumed other settlements could be worked out through negotiations. Follow Steel ' ' Several, fabricators always have followed basic steel, he said. Others have not, he added, and there was no reason why they should not follow their own course. . . Although the president decid ed on a hands-off policy in the General Motors strike, both la bor -and management looked to Labor Secretary Schwellenbach for some possible, new plan for BreaKing tne stalemate, bcnwei lenbach received a transcript of recent negotiations from Special Mediator James . F.. Dewey yes terday and said he might decide today-.what ought, to be done. At the same time, -proposals for a full senate investigation into cases of labor disputes, in cluding the GM walkout of 175, 000 CIO production workers, appeared - headed for . a senate vote. . . - -- - -' Officers Nab Cave Hermit MERRILL ' George Harvey, who has-been the object of search since he rode a horse into Merrill and tried to stick up a filling station last Monday after noon, surrendered calmly to of ficers about 10:30 last night and is now in the county jail. Harvey , gave his age as 65 when he was booked last night. A complaint, charging assault, armed with a dangerous weapon, is on file against him in justice court. The complaint, is signed by Warren Walker, one of the op erators ' of the service station figuring in the , attempted rob bery. . Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Dale Mattoon, Merrill Constable Ed Davis and a state patrolman went . into the hills some six miles northeast of Mer rill where Harvey is known to have been making his home in an old mine tunnel. . " Take Food The searchers carried with them coffee and sandwiches to give the old man, figuring that he would be hungry after his four days in the brush.

Russ Wants Spain Issue UNO Before PARIS, March 8 (VP) The foreign office said today Russia has replied favorably to a French : proposal to take the Spanish question before the United Na tions security council. Diplomatic officials in Wash ington said it was virtually cer tain the United States would oppose the French plan, contend ing that the Franco regime, whatever else it might be, is not a threat to international peace and security and hence not a proper subject for the security council.
