Stephen Mitchell national party chalrmnn, said pco- , pie from the grassroots "believed our plans were too small. It's obvious these people mean Dusiness," Mitchell said. "There re elements present today for massive victory In this campaign." He said these elements were dis illusionment and bitterness about the present administration and a new and higher value that people have placed on the Democratic party in control of Congress."

Witnesses said the river rose nearly four feet in a matter of minutes. Spot checking along shore after waters receded Indicated a loss of over l.OUO Chinook flngerltngs per mile. Mnny catchable rainbow and large white fish were found caught in brush along the river bunk. Borne large salmon were also killed in the Hood.

Truman was the star of the gathering and Adlal Stevenson, the 1052 Democratic presidential nom inee, seemed pleased to step aside and let the spotlight play on the man who once was president. There was a surprising vigor in Truman's step and in his voice. Once he bounced up from a chair with the old-time Bering but lor the most part he seemed content to conserve his strength. etevenson left Kansas City for omaha, Neb., without giving a hint as to his availability for the Democratic presidential nomina. lion in 1958. Stevenson said: "Even If I knew, Just don't believe I'd tell vnu. But I don't know myself." iruman told Stevenson and oth- era the Democrats In his opinion will carry the House "hv n .nh. sianuai margin" ond also capture a majority ot tne Senate's 06 seats. But he warned it will be neces sary to raise money quickly for the congressional campaign If the Party hODes to offset the hlirirpr u-ni- chest raised by the Republicans. party leaders pledged they would see to it that state quotas are met with the larger portion of the money going into House contests.

Indications were that Southern Democrats will have an Important voice in choosing Mitchell s suc cessor since efforts are being made 10 avoio anytning that will cause a party rift such as the 1952 split. Party harmony was shattered during the 1952 presidential nom inating convention when a ornun of Democratic "liberals" tried to force Southern delegates to sign a "loyally plege" lo support the par ly nominee. Sheppard Attorneys Plan Hove CLEVELAND tfl Defense at torneys planned another legal ma neuver today in their fight to block preliminary hearing of a first degree murder charge against Dr. Samuel Sheppard. They said they would file an af fidavit of prejudice against the man who ordered him Jailed Oershom Barber, Bay Village council president. It was Barber, as acting mavor. who Issued the warrant charging tne young osteopath clubbed his 31-year-old wife Marilyn, to death in the bedroom of their Bay Vil lage home July 4. Sheppard, 30, monies tne attack on "a bushy- naired stranger. ' Timothy F. McMahon. one of Sheppard's lawyers, said "from what I've read In the newspapers. the statements Barber has made clearly Indicate his prejudice." He didn't say what the statements were. Originally Barber set the ore- limlnary hearing for this after noon. Later It was continued to next Monday. Unless both sides agree. It cannot be postponed any further. The purpose of the hear ing is to decide whether there Is enough evidence to hold Dr. shep pard for the grand Jury. uctcctlves last n ght took a lengthy statement from a 20-year, old Cornell University medical student who described himself as on admirer of Sheppard. They didn't tell reporters what they had learned from Gervase M. Flick. who had visited the doctor during uie uuy. But Flick, son of an osteopath at Bay View Hospital, where Shep pard practices, said he "gave them several leads." In Detroit last night police found mrs. Miirgoi poDDies, 32, a nurse, could tell them nothing about Dr. Sheppard's past. She denied know, ing the doctor. Tile nurse had worked for a Los Angeles osteopath several years ago when Dr. Sheppard was study ing In that city.

Oregon Files CAB Protest WASHINGTON W Charles H. Heltzel, Oregon public utilities commissioner, Friday filed a pro test with the Civil Aeronautics Bonrd In which he urged continued direct air service between Port land and Alaska. Heltzel said an "Initial decision" by chief examiner Francis W. Brown which recommended against continued service between the two points was "not only subjecting Alaskan cities to the most arbitrary form of monopoly but limiting them as well In their opportunities of access to the fresh food markets of Portland and Ore gon, which markets are among the most odequale In the world." The examiner failed to take Into consideration the testimony of pub lie witnesses In support of the post, tlon that continued air passenger and air freight service between Alaska and Portland Is necessary, the protest said. The examiner also failed to rec ognize the need to maintain the competitive factor of markets in the United States available to Alaska, Heltzel said. The ettect of the examiner's de cision would limit air freight and passenger service to flights be tweon Seattle and Alaskan points. locked by raiding National Guards men who found hundreds of slot machines, lottery tickets, crooked dice, and telltale hypodermic nee dies and vials which gave evidence of narcotics traffic. The troops have taken over all law enforcement functions in Phe nix City and most of Russell County, stripping the civilian po lice of even the right to carry guns. That was done under an un precedented limited martial law proclaimed by Gov. Gordon Per- MILITARY RULE Except for police duties. bow ever, other civilian offices includ ing the courts were left untouched by military rule. In almost daily arrests, the steel helmeted troops and reinforced squads of state highway patrolmen have brought more than 50 persons Into custody, Including two public officials, two civilian deputy sher Iffs and one of the reputed vice lords. Other gambling big shots have been called In for questioning Phenix City's Mayor Elmer Reese was arrested on charges of wuiul neglect of duty because of the gambling which went on. Circuit Solicitor Arch Ferrell, the county's ousted criminal prosecu tor, was jailed for drunkenness, fined $100 for drunk driving and his driver's license suspended. Ferrell, who already had been relieved of duty, also is under in dictment along with two others on charges of vote manipulation In an eltort to defeat the anti-vice cru- saoing Patterson In the June Democratic primary runoff elec tlon. PROMISE Patterson, promising to rid Phe nix City of organized vice and law lessness, was nominated for attor ney general of Alabama but was assassinated before he could take office. , Indicted with Ferrell were the state's highest legal officer, Atty. Gen. SI Garrett, and Lamar Reid. chairman of the Jefferson County (Birmingham) Democratic Execu tive Committee, who resigned fol lowing the Indictment. Garrett recently was seriously Jured In a car wreck and now is In a Waynesboro, Miss., hospital with a broken neck. Gambling czar Godwin Davis Sr., another of those arrested in the mushrooming vice cleanup in Phe nix City, spent six days in Jail be fore he could raise bond of $22,000 on 44 gambling charges. His son, Godwin Jr., picked up on similar charges, made his bond after 72 hours. Chief Deputy Sheriff Albert Ful ler, whose flair for widebrlmmed hats and ornate pistols made him almost a legendary figure In Phe nix City, was charged with violat ing Alabama's election laws by un lawfully Influencing voters in the recent primary. DEPUTY ARRESTED Another deputy, Aaron Smith, was arrested later on simjlar charges. The grand Jury which indicted Ferrell, Garrett and Reld on the vote tampering charges In Birm ingham said In its final report that the campaign of Patterson's runoff opponent, Lee Porter of Gadsden, was "financed almost In its en tirety by the Phenix City racket eers." That conclusion came after the elder Davis told the Jurors he and his pals gave Porter $22,600. Patterson had planned to appear before the grand Jury to tell what he knew but was slain a few hours after he made that known. An emergency grand Jury has been called back Into session at Phenix City Monday to start hear ing testimony about the rackets which flourished before Patterson's death, and to prosecute the killer If he Is found.
