YESTERDAY a navy Jet fighter
plane flew from Beattle to Lo
Angeles (1 03 J mllesi In ONE HOUR,
ta minutes and seven seconds. Its
average speed was S3 1 niph. On
the same general enterprise i de
scribed as a "speed training mis

UKRES a thought:
A world In which pilots take off

MIAMI DEACII, Pitt., March 1 lA'l
Down here In this land of sunshine

Happily the shaggy natives of
Finland's forests, headed for nearby

whal any other tourist would do.
Thry went swimming.
Immediately a crowd collected, so
did Uie police. Eventually Uie bears
tired "of swimming and relumed to
the vicinity of their rages where
they playfully cliu.ied people.
Joseph Ebner, the night club's pro
perty manager, tried to shoo one of
the bears Into thrcuge. Resentfully,
the bear grabbrtHum by Uie seal

Welde finally coaxed his brnrs

Fire Sweeps
Over Wing Of

An early morning fire todny dam
aged an uncompleted wing of the
Klrsl Baptist church at 8th and
Washington streets.
Firemen said the blaze started
from a newly-Installed electric heat
ing apparatus In the rear wall of Uie
second story of a wing Uiat connects
the main church structure with a
residence building that Is oclng con
verted Into Sunday school rooms.
The damage was confined to the
connecting wing, which was badly
charred In the second story and
water soaked In the first floor area.
The blaze burned a small area on
the roof of Uie Sunday school build
ing, and took the roof of a garage
building at the rear of the church.
The damage of several thousand
dollars was covered by Insurance..
Firemen received the call from an
unidentified Informant at 6:60 a. m.,
and their quirk work prevented the
blase from taking the entire comer.
Rev. Cecil C. Brown, Uie pastor,
said II had been planned to open Uie
new Sunday school quarters March
14. The church will probably repair
the damage and go ahead with plans
for a later opening.

More Money
For Navy To
Be Demanded
WASHINGTON, March 1 lP
Rep. Sheppard iD-Callf.i contend
ed today Uie American navy would
be unable to cope wlty a major
emergency if one should arise.
Sheppard said the blame rests on
both President Truman's budget
bureau and on congress itself.
As top democrat on a house ap
pripriaUona committee considering
Uie navy's 1949 budget, the Call
fornlan said In an Interview he will
lead a fight to give the, sea arm
more money.
"Because of cuts In the navy's
budxet for this year (congress trim
med it by 1245.000.000 to (3.800.
000,0001 Uie nary has been forced to
lay up fighting ships that it wanted
to keep in operation," Sheppard
said.
But Uie nary can't ask congress
to give it more money next year, he
cleamed, because of a budget bureau
order that no department may seek
more for 1949 than it had in 1948.
"But there is nothing in Uie world
to prevent the appropriations com-
I mittee from overriding the budget
bureau. 8heppard added. "I hope
that after our hearings the com
mittee will see fit to do Just that."
As of today, the lawmaker said,
"the navy's operating efficiency has
been impaired and it would take at
lease 90 days, possibly longer, to get
ships back In commission and put a
first class fleet in action."
"That," he declared, "Is too much
time In an emergency."
Buyers Smash

ONTARIO. Ore., March 1 (Pr
Housewives tried so hard to buy up
cut priced meats at a chain store
here Saturday they shattered a glass
display counter cover. No one was

The price slashes, as much as 20
cents a pound on choice cuts, came
at mid-day. Sirloin steaks were
selling at 39 cents a pound; choice
T-bones at 49 cents and sausage at
35 cents.
The store, a local unit of a chain,
did not explain why prices were
slashed. One competing chain unit
met the competition on some higher
price cuts. But independent mar

Stevenson, familiarly known as
"Dick" Stevenson, was well known
In the Klamath area as a rodeo

In the Klamath rodeo, one in Med

McOrath added that if Wallace

his supporters "will either waste

Truman Is riding a donkey without
a head or a tail.
Saying Wallace already has de
parted and Uie southern wing is In
revolt, Taft added-
"Therefore, the party is not pro

predicted that Wallace may capture
as much as 19 per cent of the demo

The rebelling southerners went

plans to chop away Uie Dixie po

treaty of friendship
and mutual assistance.
President Juho Paaaiklvl, It waa

Well informed sources said the
president is in favor of signing:
such a treaty. Over the week-end

Press and radio here published
yesterday the text of Stalin's letter
to Paaslklvl, dated February 22 and
closing, "with deep respect." The
letter proposed negotiations In
Moscow or Helsinki toward a "paot
of friendship, cooperation and mu
tual assistance" against "possible
German aggression."
Well informed sources aald now
that the letter la published, getUng
the pact haa become a point of
presUge for the Soviet Union. They
said they believe President Paaat
kivi feels this way:
To turn down the Soviet bid
would aggravate Russian-Finnish
relaUons to a dangerous degree.
To accept lt could mean Finland
might get as favorable conditions
as possible toward keeping; naUonai
Independence.
(K. A. Fagerholrn, social demo

who have closed agreements with
the Soviet Union."
("A ' change in the gorernraent
is conceivable, however,1 he added
"as a consequence of what has,

Some politicians saw a good sign
in Stalin's offer to send a Soviet
