PAGR TWELVE HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY, MAY 21), 1M2 Grand Old Veteran of Oregon Politics Full of Hope at 91 ' By FALL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM (Al Walter M. Pierce. the ciout-hearled grand old veteran ol a null century o( uregona poli tical wars, will be 81 years old Friday, and he's full of bright hopes (or the luture and full of disRUst for the pessimists. During the past year, he twice was on his deathbed In a Salem hospital, but he made a strong comeback and looks about the same as he did a year ago. Pierce, former congressman from Eastern Oregon and an ex governor, still has a clear, active mind, and an amatlng memory. His sight and hearing are failing, though, and he has no use of his legs. Unlike many old people, he doesn't dwell In the past. He thinks or the future, which he considers bright. "The future looks fine," he laid. "I look forward to it with great hopes. We're going through a world revolution now, and this revolution will come out all right "This is the revolution of the common man and It's going on everywhere in the world. The op- pressed peoples are rising and they will win their rights." j Pierce, a life-long Democrat and one of tlie greatest political figures takes care of the protty flower garden and helps with the house- noia cnores. goes along wnn mem. Pierce loves these rides In the family car "because I like to watch things growing." When he comes home from the ride, he goes to bed, and Mrs. Pierce reads to him until he goes to sleep. Now he's reading a book on phil osophy, and recently ho finished a oiograpliy of Florence Night ingale and Ooodspeed's "Life of Jesus." In the past year he's Mso read the Now Testament three times, all of these by the talking books. Mrs. Pierce reads the news papers and the Bible to him, es pecially his favorite Bible verse. Tins verse, written by St. Paul in his letter to the Phillpplans, is: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things aie just, whatsoever things are pure. wnaisoever mines arc lovely, what soever things are of good report; u mere oe any viruie. ana u there be any praise, think on these things. Pierce was in the hospital lust December and again in Marcii. Both times he was expected to die. The second time. Mrs. Pierce i.mk Oregon has produced, added that lion results, and said the state Is.'" home against doctors orders.. .. i . i i sun lie iimnr H ranm ivmwra ne Keis aisKusiea wun au ye uiuy mai .tiuiuw wt-ruHiiu whs . - - --t pessimism you hear today."

He said he intended to do so, but hadn't decided on the subject matter. WALTER PIERCE Bennett's Job Goes to Boody Wins the presidency "We're politically In great luck In having Kefauver," Pierce said. "I'm decidedly in favor of Presi dent Truman, though, and am sorry he wont be a candidate for reelection." Pierce was happy about Ore gon's Democratic primary elec- terviewed. 1 election.

Pierce Boody will ' serve until a new thought it was a big Joke that he commissioner Is elected In Novom-1 president ol Bureau. 30 Known Dead In Car Plunge MADRID, Spain UV An over crowded streetcar plunged 85 feet off the historic Toledo bridge nere Wednesday night and carried at least 30 persons to their death on the river bank below. Some SO per sons were seriously injured. Rescue workers, digging through me wreckage on the Dank of the Manzanares River, had recovered sv ooaies oy early morning. Six were women and two young bovs. The streetcar, which had a nor mal capacity of 43. had been jammed with at least 100 persons. Its brakes gave way as it moved down a 600-foot incline, and it crashed through the railing of the Senators Eye News Handling . WASHINGTON IB Investigating tuuea on au government departments and agencies Thurs day to explain their methods of uaiuuuig news. Sen. Moody (D-Mich.). a former newspaperman, asked for the m- lurmation as chairman of an "anti censorship subcommittee" set up to check on government policies on classifying information. Part of the Inquiry will deal with President Truman's executive order of last Sept. 34 directing civilian agencies and officials to put secret, confidential or other re strictive labels on documents and information "pertaining to national security." These tags normally keep such Information from reaching news reporters and, hence, the public. The President's order brought a storm of protests from many editors and publishers as well as some members of Congress. Moody said a form letter went out to all departments and major agencies asking for copies of each agency's rules and regulations, the humber of persons authorized lo classify information, and methods taken to remove classified labels when need for secrecy ends. Moody asked that replies be made by next Thursday. 150 Stricken, Ham Blamed ruKi'LAND Wl The State Board of Health Wednesday blamed baked ham for the food iiumiuob oi iou persons at a church banquet In Grants Pass May 13. None of the ham was left for ' examination, but Dr. Samuel Os good, state epidemiologist, said, "we believe the ham was the most probable cause, and contamination probably occurred during or im mediately following slicing, with about three hours of incubation be fore consumption." No one died from the poisoning, but all but 30 of the persons at a mother-daughter banquet suffered pains, and some were hospital lzcd. . . . r- . . ..... . . nM) i i iv i ih rvmn iinn v . . . , i cwemr nis r.nin hi e rrax-n him a umumiL' .i ,. , reeiectea uemocrauc national com- - - department store executive, was m"ThemahoDe of the Democratic Wh,le s the hospital. , named Wednesday by the Portland nartv lie ? in comnetm if Ktor' ws circulated that Pierce C"V Council to fill the unexpired mJa - he said competenl olmg had died.
