Warren Says
Foes Unfair
By HALE SCARBROUGH
Oov. Earl Warren believes he
hes been unjustly crucified by the
medical profession for his advocacy
of a type of state public health
insurance, the California aspirant
for Uie Republlcen presidential
nomination told interviewers here
Monday afternoon.
The plan he espouses, Warren
said, is not nearly so drastic as
one medicos In California tried to
get Installed by legislation back ln
1935, but the same men now are
branding it socialism and him a
socialist lor oringing u up.
Gov. Warren flew to Klamath
Falls from Medford Monday af
ternoon for a fully-packed hour and
a half stop which Included a wel
coming at the airport, a court
house steps speech that was broad
cast over KFLW, nnJ then a Ques
tion and answer session with local
Republican leaders and the press
before he flew on to Portland.
STRONG CHANCE
He is seeking support in this
state's May 16 presidential prefer,
ence primary, and there Is a strong
chance that although Oregon seems
prepared to choose Gen. Dwlght
Elsenhower as its GOP presidential
candidate, Warren may eventually
get on the ticket as candidate for
vice President, a spot he held
ln 1948 under Republican nominee
Tom Dewey.
In his public address at the Court
house, Warren pleaded for votes
not So much for himself as for
the Republican party, declaring that
only a complete change ot adminis
tration in Washington will restore
publio faith ln Uie United States
government.
Ho pledged himself to support
the GOP nominee for President,
no matter who he Is.
Warren characterised the present
Demo administration as "old, worn
out and breaking open at the
seams."
In his Interview Warren was
asked about the plan for health in
surance he had advocated unsuc
cessfully, as yet In California.
The plan, he said, Is for a vol
untary pre-paid medical Insurance
which the slate and possibly the
federal government would assist by
grants-in-aid. The basis of it would
be payroll deductions, 1 per cent
from employes and a matching 1
per cent from employers, and tne
money would be available to help

Illegal
Judge Nixes
Government
$50 Stamps
PHILADELPHIA I A six-
month-old federal law requiring
gambers to buy g xso tax stamp
was declared unconstitutional Tues
day by U. 8. District Judge George
A. Welsh.
Welsh ruled the law was a police
measure enacted by Congress un
der Uie guise of a tax bill.
The decision was handed down
on an appeal by Joseph Kahriger,
36, one of seven men facing trial
on cnarges oi lauing w ouy uie
stamp.
In dismissing the action against
Kahriger, Welsh said he was not
ruling on another secUon of Uie
act which requires gamblers to
pay a 10 per cent tax on their
earnings.
Judge Welsh's action was the
first judicial ruling on the consti
tutionality of the tax. which went
into effect Nov. 1, 1951.
The legality of the act had been
challenged all the way up to the
U. S. Supreme Court, but the na
Uon's highest court refused to rule
on Its constitutionality.
The previous attack on the law
was made by Hayes L. Combs, a
Washington news vendor.
He argued Uiat the tax was un
constitutional because he said It
amounted to a penalty in the guise
of, taxes.
A special three - Judge TJ. E. Dis
trict Court in Washington dismissed
.tbevcase on the ground it -was be
ing asked to Issue an Injunction to
protect a criminal enterprise.
The Supreme Court March 3 dis
missed the appeal 6-3, the majority
announcing agreement with the
lower court ruling.
The special court commented It
thought the tax was constitutional,
but said it wasnt necessary to dis
cuss that issue since the case was
being dismissed on other grounds.''

Bakery Strike
Suffering Low
By The Associated Press
The Washington-Oregon bakery
strike apparently was causing little
hardship on its fifth day Tuesday
I with customers shewing they do
mot live by bread alone.
I Small neighborhood bakeries
throughout the area were helping
lo fill the demand caused by the
strike of 10.000 workers against the
area's major wholesale bakeries.
Many restaurants were baking bis
cuits and muffins lor customers
who normally eat bread.
In Olympia and Centralla, the
bakers agreed Monday to return
to work after employers approved
a contract clause granting Satur
days and Sundays off, Frank Hoov
er, international representative of
the AFL-International Bakery ft
Confectionery Workers' union, said.
Salem, Ore., bakers operated un
der a similar understanding.
The major demand of the strik
ing workers is a five-day week
allowing Saturdays and Sundays
cff. All was quiet Tuesday on the
negotiation front and picketing con
tinued in the major cities.
Spokane reported 16 retail shops
and two house-to-house bakeries
continued to operate. PorUand
stores hoped to replenish their sup
plies from upstate bakeries.
In Seattle, strikers postponed
their picketing of the bakeries of
three major department stores un
til Wednesday, pending an attempt
to arrange for their reopening.

Council Sets
Midnight
For Change
By HALE SCARBROUGH
Klamath Falls goes on daylight
tlmo Wednesday, but only partially.
The City Council Monday night
adopted a resoutlon putting city
business on a fast time footing aa
of 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, and rec
ommended to businesses and Indi
viduals that they do the same.
The Klamath Merchants Associa
tion and probably most or all busi
ness houses and offices In Klam
ath Falls will go on daylight time.
SNARL
City schools, county schools,
railroads and the air line remain
on standard time at the present,
and Sacred Heart Academy like
wise remains on standard time.
However, a Joint meeting of school
boards was to discuss the sltuaUon
Tuesday afternoon. A change la
possible as far as the schools are
concerned.
Oregon Tech will shuffle Its
classroom schedule to conform with
time downtown, but probably won't
change the clocks. That's because
over 300 On students have Jobs
In town.
The Klamath Falls Post Office
goes on daylight time. .
Klamath County remains on
standard time, so the clocks wiU
be different at tne uounnouse man
at the City Hall, a couple of blocks
VAV
Taverns and night clubs must
remain on standard time, and also
liquor stores. .
The two radio stations. KFLW
! and KFJI. will go daylight time.
' The resolution passed by the City
Council is without compulsion. Is
Just a recommendation. And it spe
cified no date for a resumption
jof standard time.
Mayor Bob Thompson said It
probably would come soon after
Labor Day in September.
I OTHER POINTS '
About 20 cities In Oregon now
have adopted daylight time, al
though Uie state as a whole re
mains officially on standard time,
by order of Gov. Douglas McKay.
Medford merchants last week tried
J voluntary daylight time, open
ng and closing stores an hour ear
lier without changing the clock,
but Monday gave it up as a bad
job and returned to standard hours.
The Medford City Council is to
take up the question Tuesday night.
The Dalles City Council Monday
night voted to remain on standard
time.
There has been no Indication that
any of the smaller towns will lol-
ww ine lead oi Klamath Falls ln
adopting fast time. Rural senti
ment is almost entirely against it.

Voting was heavy in Florida and
Ohio Tuesday ln primary contests
that held a great deal of Impor
tance fcr at least three presiden

In Florida the key contestants
were Sens. Kefauver of Tennessee
and Russell of Georgia, both seek
ing the Democratic nomination for
president. .
And Sen. Taft of Ohio was plug
ging for a big vote ln his own
home state. A poor showing there
! would crimp Taft's chances for the
Republican nomination appreciably.
A record vote of 1 'A million was
expected ln Ohio, where Taft and
his lieutenants put on an intensive
drive for votes for delegates
pledged to his candidacy.
The Florida primary was Ke
fauver's biggest hurdle since he
defeated President Truman ln New
Hampshire. In most other primar

he had only token opposition, if
any,
Florida Is the first state ln which
Russell's name was printed on the
ballot.
Bright, warm weather presaged
a possible record vote in Florida.
Long lines of voters awaited their,

It wa the first popularity pri
