Somewhat later an atomic bomb

At 0:17 a.m. an A-Bomb explod

A-bombs were guided missiles fired
Irom outside Uie continental Unit

Presumably, under this problem,
the Klamath civil defense group
was to send assistance and aid to
the stricken area. Deputy directors

they had control of their individ

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

some sort of word.
The Klamath Amateur Radio So--cicty,

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

KARS also had an efllclently op

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

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.

Richard Nixon of California, the
Republican nominee for vice pres-
loent. ; "win welcome the oppor
tunity to appear before labor or

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

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.
