Warns U.S.
Communists
By RI I.MAN MORIN
AI.HUQUKRQUE tlov. Adllil
Btevenson finished his first ciim-
palgn drive through the West toduy
with a sharp warning to American
Communists, and another wither'
Ing blast at his Republican foes.
Thr Democratic presidential
candidate Pledged that If he Is
elected ;
"Federal agencies will deal stern
ly and mercilessly wlih all who
would betray their country."
In the name speech, delivered
lunt night In Albuquerque, Bteven
son ripped Inlo the Republicans on
several dllferenl counts.
Ever since he began Ihln Western
sweep, he has been Insisting Uiut
Uie (JOP Is badly spill between the
followers of Ben. Robert A. Tuft
of Ohio and Gen. uw-lghl Elsen
hower, the GOP nominee. The
New York conference between
Tuft and Elsenhower yesterday
gave Stevenson another opportu
nity lo taunt his opposition.
"It looks as though Sen. Tafl lost
the nomination but won me nom
inee," he said.
He spoke with a straight fnce,
and In tones as dry an the Western
dcserls. 'Die crowd of 5.200 people,
III a 6,000-seat. high school audi
torium, howled with laughter.
Btevennon added, "The elephants
put their two heads together for a
peace treaty they must have
eaten crow."
He coupled his discussion of
communism tn America with some
searing comments about Sen. Jos
eph McCarthy of Wisconsin.
"There are men among us," he
said, "whose hope It Is to prollt
liom anxiety, hysteria and fear-
to confuse, to blind, to obscure tnc
lisues for the Amcrlcsn people."
He called them "these salesmen
of confusion."
The governor said that In his
view the FBI Is doing an excellent
job hunting down the Reds. "To
tell you or to Imply as some do
for political reasons that the gov
ernment Is crawling with Commit
nlsls today is to ssy that the FBI
does not know Its, business.

killing or maiming persons in
volved. About 1:45 on the morning of
Aug. 26, Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Phair,
operators of an inn near Tulelake,
were driving Into Klamath Falls.
With them was one of their em
ployes, Patrick O'Shea.
At the same time, a young Mer
rill man, Lyle Brown, was driving
toward Merrill.
About l'i miles south of Mac's
Store, on the Merrill highway,
Brown's car smashed into the
Phalr's station wagon, traveling In
tho opposite direction. State Po
lice say Brown's car was approxi
mately four feet over on Phalr's
sine oi tne roan.
Why Brown was not driving on
his side ol the center line will
never be known for he was killed
lnstnnlly In the terrific collision.
A little alter 3:30 that same morn
ing, Phair died In the hospital.
Sgl. l.uii Tichenor, commnndlng
the Slate Police detnehment here,
wns visibly shaken by the five col
lision deaths In four dnys. With the
Labor Day weekend approaching,
Tichenor exhorted his men to try
and corral reckless drivers. Tiche
nor hns only 11 men for traffic
work a i omul the clock throughout
Uie county.
Carclully, he scheduled his men
so as to provide a maximum
amount of patrolling during the
long holiday weekend. For the
morning of Sunday, Aug, 31, one of
the patrolmen was to work the sec
tion which goes through Worden.
But that pntrolmnn's father died
unexpectedly and the officer did
not work that night.
So as three young people left a
dunce In Dorrls sometime after
midnight In drive home to Klnm
nlh Falls, there was no patrolman
on the stretch of road through Wor
den they would have to travel. It
probnbly would hnve mttde no dif
ference if there had been. Splinter
ing death w.is awaiting two of the
thrco young people on the highway.
And the story told later by the sole
survivor of the trio Indicated no
patrolman could have prevented
the trngedy.
The three young people were
Clinton E. Bland, 19, of Coos Bay,
David Aaron Wright, 30, Klamath
Falls, and a 16-year-old Klamath
Falls girl, Shlrlene Ann Flug. They
were in Wright's car and Wright

By JACK BELL
NEW YORK lAV-Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower will set out again to
morrow on an intensive 12-day,
tour.
His Itinerary includes Illinois, In
diana, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska,
Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, West
Virginia, Maryland, Norlh Caro
lina and Virginia.
The Republican presidential nom
inee will leave here by Pennsyl
vania Railroad train at 4:10 p. m.,
tor, arriving in t. wayne, ind.,
Monday morning.
He returned only last Wednesday
from nine days of rugged cam
paigning.
On the eve of the candidate's
departure, a New York congress
man moved today to push Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey into an active
pan in the presidential campaign
after Sen. Robert A. Taft's spec
tacular enlistment in the fold.
Rep. Leonard W. Hall was lead
ing a drive to expand Dewey's in
fluence beyond the win-New York
role which previously had been
assigned to the 1944 and 1948 GOP
presidential nominee.
CONSENT
"If the governor will consent to
a more active part in the cam
paign. I am sure that his help will
oe welcomed," Hall told a re
porter. However, representatives of
Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower, who
were influential in arranging the
conference from which Taft
emerged to announce he would
give all-out aid to the Republican
nominee, were noticeably cool to
Hall's suggestion.
Sen. Frank Carlson of Kansas
and Ralph Cake, Oregon National
committeeman, said they hadn't
heard any report that Dewey as
well as Taft might undertake a
national broadcast for the ticket.

eral government costs are too high.
Rep. Hamer H. Budge (R-Idaho)
said Friday night in an address
to the International Association of
Electrical Inspectors, Northwest
section.
The Idaho congressman criticized
what he termed "wasteful" ex
penditures. He cited $12,000 allo
cated in the 1953 budget for re
search at Northwestern University
for study of "unconscious factors
governing courtship and mate se
lection" and $19,000 to Cornell Uni
versity for study of mental stress
in sheep.
three more persons were killed in
a rear-end collision near the Sut
ton Road-U.S. 97 junction a few
miles south of the city.
A short while before this colli
sion, a car coming out Sutton Road
had shot across U.S. 97 and gone
in the ditch on the far side of
the highway. C. C. Van Vleet, driv
er of the car, told police his brakes
failed. A wrecker was called to
get the car out of the ditch and
State Patrolman George Anderson
was at the scene.
Flares were put out to warn
traffic that the wrecker was partly
obstructing the highway.
Driving north in a big flatbed
truck was W. C. Farrell, Fairfield,
Calif. Trailing the truck was a car
carrying four men. They were en
route from Dorris to Klamath
Falls. As Farrell, the truck driv
er, saw tlie warning flares ahead
he slowed the big truck. But the
driver of the car apparently didn't
notice the flares or was unaware
that the truck had greatly re
duced its speed.
With a ripping crash, the car
slammed into the rear of the
truck bed, practically tearing the
car in two, Lowell Eugene Brown,
43, Dorrls, was killed instantly.
C. H. (Bill) Sims, 51, Project City,
Calif., was dead on arrival at
the hospital. A lew hours later,
Albert H. Jones, 56, Cottonwood,
Calif., died in the hospital.
Keith E. Peck, 33,. Irvington.
Calif., suffered head "lacerations
and bruises. Peck was driving the
car when the collision occurred.
On the following Tuesday, State
Police went to the hospital, ar
rested Peck and charged him with
negligence in contributing to the
death of Wilson. Peck Is now free
under $3,500 bull.

Lewis is now negotiating new
