Other passengers In the car, Miller's brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mra. Roy Carleton Miller, 3715 Orcenxprlngs Drive, were shaken and bullied but not ser louslv hurl. The truck and car were both going north and Miller told Slate 'once ne aigiiaien ior a rigm, turn.

County Civil Delense Director Joe LaClalr was nowhere to be found and there was suspicion among the ranks he was a victim of simulated sabotage. Without leadership Klamath's unit held together In good shape, receiving Uie alert problem shortly after 9 a.m. The problem was this: A (light of unidentified planes flying In a southwesterly direction started Incendiary (orest (ires near Whitcdsh, Mont., at about 8 -a.m. A short while later explosives and Incendiaries were dropped In some 3 Killed In State Mishaps Ry The Associated Press Three men were killed and tour persons Injured In a series of log ging accidents reported in Oregon Friday.

Somewhat later an atomic bomb exploded 2000 (eet above the Spo kane railroad yards, and at 8 a.m. the president announced a state of war existed with the aggressor. At 0:17 a.m. an A-Bomb explod ed over Portland, and a state of emergency existed. Apparently the A-bombs were guided missiles fired Irom outside Uie continental Unit ed States. Presumably, under this problem, the Klamath civil defense group was to send assistance and aid to the stricken area. Deputy directors o( the local organization Indicated they had control of their individ ual units at the tips of their (in gers, and awaited a call (rom the Snlcm headquarters. From Indications here, Salem was having a rough time solving its own problems. No call for the Klamath units was forthcoming, and for the most part the 25 di vision officers and other CD work ers sat on their hands awaiting: some sort of word. The Klamath Amateur Radio So--cicty, - under Communications 0( flcer George Conner, maintained short wave contact with the head quarters. Jt had twin possibilities of reaching the Salem area both directly by either voice or code, or by relay to another setup at a residence on Lakeshore Drive which would send communications on1 to Salem via code.' KARS also had an efllclently op erating mobile corps standing by at scattered points throughout Klam ath Falls and the surrounding sub urban areas wherever many ol the operators were at work or at home. Other deputies estimated they could 1( need be have full forces of mobile aid teams on their way to stricken areas within four hours, end probably sooner limn tnat. The Oregon alert was a part of a massive elght-stnte exercise In volving Western states.

Trespassers Cause Crash SALEM tfl The airplane crash which killed Dewey Akers. publish er of the Brookings Harbor Pilot, was caused by the pilot pulling up u aeer irom Killing children on the landing strip. State Aeronautics Director W.M. Bartlett said the plane piloted bv Rov Brimm. was attempting to land at Brookings. But there were two cars and a group of children on the "uiway. To avoid hitting ttiem. Brimm circled the Held. While doing that the plane ran into a dense fog bank and crashed into trees just across the California State line. Brimm and another nasseneer. Ed Thornton, were injured. Bartlett said the treasnassers on the' runway had opened a gate on which a sign stated that entrance was permitted only for aviation purposes. Cause of this accident was not engine failure, but gross foolish ness and law violation on the part ot some members ol the general puouc," tne Aeronautics jaoajra said In a statement. Vets Leave NSLI Cash WASHINGTON I A Veterans Administration ofdcial estimated Saturday that of those entitled to 200 million dollars in 1952 divi dends on national service life in surance, only half will draw out tneir snare in cash this year. Officials believe there are two major reasons for this: 1. Many of the five million hold ers of about six million policies the NSLI policies are held by worm war ii ana suDsequent vet erans who are entitled to divi dends either did not understand or Ignored instructions they must apply In writing. 2. Many who are not requesting cnecas are merely leuing tneir cash be credited to their account to pay later premiums, or to draw three per cent Interest after a cer tain date. The estimate that only half o( those entitled to 1952 dividends will be paid was based on Saturday's report that 1,448,028 checks totaling $53,326,754 had been Issued up to Aug, 7. The 1952 disbursement is being nancued by district ollices to which policyholders pay their premiums except ior tnose oact in military service, whose dividends are being paid Irom the headquarters office here. A veteran who failed to send in his application in writing may still get his dividend at any time by writing to the district office where he pays his. premium.

Eisenhower To Bid For Labor Vote By The Associated Press An Eisenhower bid (or the labor vote and a hopscotch speaking tour by Stevenson were aketched into presidential campaign strategy be ing drafted by Republicans and Democrats baluraay. Gen. Dwlght D. Elsenhower, tne GOP nominee. Is now ticketed (or a talk before the American Feder ation of Labor convention opening oepi. 1 at new York cuy. oen. Elsenhower." said Sen. Richard Nixon of California, the Republican nominee for vice pres- loent. ; "win welcome the oppor tunity to appear before labor or ganizations anytime he can." Nixon, speaking to reporters at Denver, discounted the CIO's en dorsement Friday of Illinois' Gov. Aaiai g. Stevenson, tne Democra tic candidate (or president. vvnue uie leadership ol me CIO has endorsed Gov. Stevenson," Nixon said, "it will be a different thing as (ar as the rank and (ile is concerned. We are not going to write o(f the labor vote." HUDDLE At Springdeld. III.. Saturday Ste venson huddled with his campaign lecnr.ique, usea so eiiecirveiy by President Truman in 1948, along with a hopscotch gimmick added by Stevenson lor 1952. A reliable source said it would work this way: Stevenson would whistle-stop, but only in the populous states east ol the Mississippi River and in the Pacliic Coast states. He would orate from the back platform of his campaign train in the East, hop by plane to the West Coast and repeat the process there. This would revise the traditional tour: Campaigning in the East, a cross-country speaking junket via the Northern route, stumping on the Pacific Coast and a return East by way ol the South. BILLING ...... With top billing going to Steven son and Alabama's Sen... John Sparkman,' the Democratic vice- presidential nominee, President Truman and Vice President Aiban W. Barkley would play secondary roies m tne campaign. Truman is expected to make most of his speeches in the indus trial North. "We are going to do exactly again wnat we aid in 194a ana we re going to make them like it." Sparkman told reporters he would like to see a Stevenson-Eisenhower debate, if one be sched uled. Sparkman said it would be one way of airing the Issues so the public can understand them. The idea was picked up by the National Broadcasting Company. Friday night in New York NBC offered its radio and television net work facilities as an arena for such a war of words. There was no immediate reac tion, however, from either camp.

' Allies Hold Bunker Hill Positions By The Associated Press SEOUL, Korea (PI U. 8- Ma. lines battled Chinese Reds with fists and grenades in the predawn darkness Saturday in breaking up the aeventh Red counter attack . against Blinker Kill on the Korea Western Front. The Leathernecks captured the once strongly fortified Red position five days ago. The Reds threw 400 men against the position in their latest desperate bid to regain the dominating height. FIST FIGHTING . "We were (1st fighting and there were loads of hand grenades (lying around," one Marine sergeant re lated. Four hundred Chinese charged to within 30 yards of Marine positions on the blood-soaked ridge before dawn, a U. S. Eighth Army staff officer said. Red artillery and mor tars raked Allied positions in sup port of the attack. Fresh Marines were rushed for ward at the height of the battle. The Reds pulled back less than a half hour later. Later the Communists traded shots with the Marines for 10 min utes from a distance, but made no charge. SEVENTH ATTACK The seventh Communist assault on the hill seized earlv Tuesdav bv the Leathernecks began with a platoon charge shortly after mid night. Red losses were placed officially- at more than 3,154 dead and wound ed (or the fighting which began a week ago near Panmunjom, site of uie Korean truce taias. U.S. Economy Shows Gains NEW YORK UI Many of tha weak spots in the nation's economy gained strength this week and re covery from the steel strike made rapid strides. Buying came back to New York's Worth Street, center of the textile market. Prices strengthened and remained firm. Freight carloadings were the highest since December 1 last year -m,in compared with T32.820 tne previous week. Electric power production was the ) highest since March 87,495, 322.000 kilowatt hours against 7. 404,913,000 the previous week. It showed more machines were being; used in more factories. Steel production pushed close to the two million ton mark as ad' dltlonal facilities returned to full operation and the plants ran at 95.4 per cent of rated capacity. The trade paper Automotive News said the stocks of unsold new cars in the United States are at the lowest level since the end of World War n. On August 1 there were only 180,717 new cars in dealers hands or enroute from the factories, the paper ssia, compared wun Jll.mj a month earlier and 387,286 August 1 last year. Retail stores reported a little better business than a year ago and about even with tne previous week. Prices continued on the rise. Dun and Bradstreet's wholesale food price index hit a new 1952 high of S6.66. This compared with (6.65 the previous week and so.94 a year ago.
