But Interest High t lly The Associated Pre No clear -cut decision emerged from the rltaaaen-Dewey debate, many of the nation's newspaper rditnrlallred today, but the dlacus alon Itself waa lauded by them a a commendable example of demoo racy at work, "In the best tradition of Ameri can pnlltlca," commented the New York Herald Tribune, praising tho radio discussion on communism be tween Oov. Thomas E. Dewey nnd Harold E. Btnssen. ". , . Thl was democracy na it was Intended to be, with modern Inventions used to deepen Its meaning nnd enlarge Its scope." The two republican presidential candidates came out of their Ore gon debate "with their reputations ' enhanced," Tho Herald Tribune snld, adding that. It hrllevei the discussion strengthened the repub lican parly Inasmuch a "our de mocracy showed Its capacity to face rationally the most complex and bewildering nf Issues." "Wo nro not sure thnt both wore arguing the anme question," snld the Portland Oregonlnn. "If any voles were won by either debater, "a fancy that they wore won by hta debate conduct, rather than by what he said." fluid tho Oregon Journal: "Stasson has modified his first declaration In fnvor of outlawing the communist party. He'll go now for the Mttndt-Nlxon bill which would ban a foreign dictator-controlled orgnnluitlon having as Its purposo tho destruction of tho American government." "Dewey, who ha had tho beat of the technical legal argument all along, employ a prosecutor' trick to call this 'surrender.' II might, with equal noeurney nnd more for benrnnee, bo called redefinition." The debate "raised American politics back to a rcapectablo level," said the Rochostor (N, Y.) Demo crat nnd Chronicle, "Often In recent years," the pa por continued, "wo have urged that tho debate playing of Lin coln' dny be revived. We are fed up, nnd we think a large part of tho Intelligent public. Is fed up, on the bunk nnd bluster and puffed up stuff that comos from political campaigners in most oloctlon con tests." The St. Louis rost-Blspatrli took the stand that Dewey presented "sounder arguments" than his platform opponent.

Lewis with unfair labor practice. The two-day-old talks broke up over the right of the Southern Coal Producers association to take part. Lewis and hi United Mine Worker balked at seating Joseph E. Moody, the association' president. The producers group immediately asked the national labor relations board to get a court order to force Lewi to bargain. The petition, accusing Lewis of unfair labor practices, for alleged refusal to talk with the southern group, went to NLRB General Coun sel Robert M. Denham. Urgency s'oted Moody, speaking for Uie associa tion, told Denham the "urgency of Uie situation is manifest." He con tinued, "The union's refusal to com ply with Uie requirements of the labor management relations act (Taft-Hartley) endangers Uie nego tiations for a new contract upon the expiration of Uie present bituminous coal wage contract. "Only prompt and effective inter vention of your office can secure to the Southern Coal Producers association it right under the labor management relation act." The petiUon also was filed with Uie Baltimore regional office of NLRB. A similar complaint against Lewis by Uie southern group already is pending there. That grew out of dispute over miners' pensions. Break Wanted Moody told a news conference after the collapse of the wage ses sions thai, lw apparently "wonted to break up the conference." He aald that Lewis "object to any organised opposition." The operators voted to seat Moody and Lewis' United Mine Workers voted against it. A vote then was taken on a union proposal to go ahead with conferences covering Uie balance of the industry. The operators opposed that. The union voted for it. Lewis got to his feet and said: "I make the observation that there 1 now no conference. "The operator have voted them selves and the mine workers out of a conference. "The United Mine Worker policy committee will meet at 10 a.m. (6 a.m. PST) tomorrow." The fight over seating Moody started at the opening session of the negotiation yesterday. Lewis said then that the southern groups which make up Uie Southern Coal Producers associaUon were not complying with their contract when they did not appear at the confer ence as individuals to bargain for a new agreement. The union's present wage agree ment expires June 30. Traditionally, the miners have refused to work without a contract- Well Known Logger Dies Grant Ruben Stensing, 46, widely known among timber workers and woodsmen in this area, died sudden ly at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon shortly after falling a tree in the woods near Mowich.
