to that old political warrior for

Mo., who gave the fighting tone to
a meeting of Democratic leaders
gathered here to map a money

Truman drove hero from his
nearby home last night and urged
a fighting campaign which he In

back into control of both the Senate
and the Houso,
A few hours after the ox-prest

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."
Truman said he planned to take
an active part in the campaign.

elect a Democratic ticket, and
whatever I can do I will do," he

weeks of the greatest manhunt In

But the three shots fired Into Pat

Floods Cause
Fish Damage
Flash floods recently roared
down small canyons into the Imna
ha River causing widespread de
struction of fish life over a 20-mlle
area. Torrential rain and hall
swept rocks, mud, trees, and
brush Into the river, literally push
ing some fish onto the banks. Road
culvert, gardens, and even hay
fields were washed out. 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

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

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

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

the campaign of Patterson's runoff

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
