S. senator. He said he had announced last fall he would do so If Gov. Paul Patterson did not and last week's sudden death of Patterson has put him back Into the race. Patterson, a strong vote getter, had an nounced only three days before his death he would seek the office in an attempt to wrest it from Demo crat Wayne Morse. Tooze, 61, served in both world wars and Is commanding general of the 104th reserve division. He is a 1916 graduate of the Uni versity, of Oregon, has long been active in Republican Party affairs' and was a delegate to both the 1948 and 1052 national conventions. At the 1948, convention he nominated Norblad To Run For Governor By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rep. Walter Norblad. who Tues day said he was seriously thinking about running for governor, Wednesday made up his mind to do it. Norblad announced his candidacy from Salem. Earlier he had said he would visit around the state and confer with party leaders be fore reaching a decision on enter ing the Republican primary for the ofiice. Presumably Portland and Salem conferences decided him. Several other Republicans may also be in the race. Gov. Elmo Smith said he is considering filing for the two years left ( of the term of the late Gov. Paul Patterson. State Treasurer Sig Ur.ander has made no comment but his friends, urging him to run, have reported that he is giving thought to it. Earl Dickson, Albany merchant, filed for the office but he has no following among party leaders. On the Democratic side, Robert Holmes of Astoria has announced for the office and Sheriff Terry Schrunk of Multnomah County has been considering it. Holmes got in his first cam paigning licks Tuesday In a talk before a Lions Club in Portland. He said a one-party government m?kes for a "let's drift along" attitude on the part of both the officials and the people. Holmes said Oregon has had htgh-caliber officeholders but add- ed that many officials had balked at r h a n g e or suggestions for change. lew Immigrant Laws Urged WASHINGTON iffi President Elsenhower Wednesday urged Congress to overhaul the nation's immigration laws to wipe out "in equities" and ease the way for 220.000 foreigners to come to this country as permanent residents each year. Eisenhower said he thought this rise of about 65.000 over the pres ent annual quota of 154.657 immi grants Is justified by the country's past growth and current economic conditions. He paid too that It would be a recognition of "our respoasibillties of world leadership.'' In a special message, Elsenhow er also told the . lawmakers there is need to speed up the process of deporting unworthy aliens per sons who have "been fount' to be criminals of the lowest character, trafficking in murder, narcotics and subversion." He said Atty. Gen. Brownell will submit a proposal in this field later. The President's message dealt to a great extent with recommen dations for revision of the 1952 McCarran-Walter Act, which be Gov. Earl Warren of California for vice president. Also seeking the Republican nom ination is Elmer Deetz, Canby dairyman. Tooze issued this statement: "Last fall I announced pubjlcly that I would run for the Senate if Gov. Patterson did not. When the governor recently announced his candidacy I pledged him my whole hearted support. His tragic death means that someone else must lead the fight to restore to Oregon ef fective representation In the U.S. Senate. "I am prepared, If nominated by the Republican Party, to carry on a fighting campaign and I am sure that thousands of Oregon citizens welcome the opportunity to Join me in that ngnt. -.!:.,'. "I had the privilege of serving under Gen. Elsenhower In combat In the European theater in World War IT. I voted for his nomina tion for President at the Chicago convention. So did Sen. Morse. "I believe in 'Ike' and his pro gram and I would like the oppor tunity to help him in Washington." , On the Democratic side, Circuit Judge Donald Long said he had been asked by a number of people to oppose Morse in the pri mary election but had "almost def initely" decided not to run. SALEM Wl Eari I... Dickson, Albany food market operator, filed his candidacy Tuesday for the Re publican nomination for governor. He Is the first Republican to enter the race, although Gov. Elmo Smith and Rep. Walter Norblad, Stayton, said they are thinking about it. Dickson's ballot slogan will be: "As a 'whipped Republican' if it be at all allowed." His platform includes a state ment that he would "strive for a better understanding of law, taxes and undelayed justice." Other filings: Louis J. Lampert, Portland Dem ocrat, for state representative from Multnomah County (east county sub-district).- Arthur B. Carlson. Portland, for delegate to Republican national convention from Third District. State Rep. Arthur P. Ireland. Forest Grove Republican, for re election. MINERS KILLED QUAREGNON, Belgium M.

But it also made recommenda tions In these other principal fields: 1. Elimination of "unnecessary restrictions and administrative pro visions of our Immigration laws." In that connection the President suggested eliminating Inspection of aliens coming to the mainland from Alaska and Hawaii. Eisen hower said this is an expense to the government and an inconven ience to travelers. He also asked elimination of the requirement that all aliens visit ing this country be fingerprinted. Elsenhower said experience has been that the fingerprinting of temporary visitors does not add significantly tn national security. 2. Granting discretion to the at torney general to waive technicali ties in special cases where aliens seek entry to the United States. At present Congress must pass Individual bills In such cases and the paeslderlt is required to act separately on each measure. Eisenhower said the discretion ary powers should be limited to aliens with close relatives in this country, to veterans and to func tionaries of religious organizations. i KLAMATH FALLS, Price Five Cents 18 Fagea Senate Affair; Probe Set Friday WASHINGTON Op Sen. George (D-Oa) said today the Senate It self will have to resolve any fur ther dispute over who is to investi gate a $2,600 campaign contribu tion offered Sen, Francis Case (R-SDi. George said a special four-man committee set up by a 90-0 Senate vote yesterday expects Case and six subpoenaed witnesses to testify only at public hearings the group plans to open Friday. George, who heads the commit tee, said he hopes It can finish with Its witnesses by Saturday, re- fiort early next week, and call up ts report for Senate action some time after next Wednesday. But Sen. Hennlngs (D-Moi said he planned to ask the Senate Rules Committee for Its backing In an Inquiry by Its elections subcom mittee. . Hennlngs, who heads the subcom mittee, sought unsuccessfully to take testimony from Case about the incident yesterday. ' There were some indications that Pules Committee Chairman Green (D-RI) and others are not happy about Hennlngs' move to air the matter ahead of the George com mittee, which had the backing of Senate leaders. George said If Hennlngs tries to Eight Survive Plane Crash WASHINGTON (UP) The Navy plane forced down in Venezuela en route to Antarctica has been sighted and all eight persons aboard are safe, the Navy an nounced today. The crew members are "ap parently, not - seriously Injured," according to a Navy dtsptach from the Caribbean Sea , Frontier, , San Juan;, Puerto Roco. , v , . - ' The navy Bald an amphibian rescue plane sighted the downed Neptune and radioed that "All personnel are safe'." Immediate plans were made for Army helicopters to take the crew out of the Jungle to Maturin Airport in Venezuela. From there, they will be flown to Ramey Air Force Base, San Juan.

Board Suspends School Teacher SAN FRANCISCO 11 The Board of Education last night suspended grade school teacher Lorraine Staker and said lt Intends to dis miss her. The reasons given were her In dictment by a grand Jury on charg es of receiving stolen goods and her admitted love affair with a prominent surgeon, Dr. Rodney Yoell. Her attorney Emmett Hagerty said he would fight the board's edict in Superior Court. Miss Staker's record as a teach er since 1945 has been called ex emplary by school administrators. As for the 1952 McCarran-Walter Act, the President urged Con gress to make a thorough study and come up with Its own de cision "as to what new system should be established." But he said interim action Is needed quickly "to alleviate as much as possible Inequities In tltt present quota system" of admit ting aliens. Elsenhower recommended that the quota program be based on the 1950 census, rather than on the 1920 census as at present, and that the over-all quota be increased to approximately 220,000 from the present 154.657 The President also called tor en eoiment of legislation to permit u.e of unused quota numbers In Uie next succeeding year. He said that should be done by pooling unused quota numbers In the case of applicants from Europe, Africa, Asia and the Pacific Ocean area. One general effect of these changes would be to permit an increased flow of Immigrants ; from Southern Greece and the area.

Algeria Peace Talks Resume ALGIERS Wl Premier Guy Mollet plunged Into a second round of talks Wednesday aimed at bring ing pence and reforms to rebellion rent Algeria. Mollet's contacts In his two- day-old peace mission were con fined largely to the local French. The few Moslems he has met have .beonfmen wlthout-miion- in fluence. Several thousand French appolntcd Moslem officials have resigned their posts and oth ers have taken to the hills. The lack of representative spokesmen from the Arab side Is a major factor hampering the Pre mier's task. ' Mollet promised Tuesday night he would name a new minister for Algeria soon in place of 79-year-old Gen. Georges Catroux, The Premier allowed Catroux to with draw without ever coming to Al giers after French settlers rioted Monday In protest.

He said at that time that he felt politics and the Supreme Court should not . get mixed up together. Elsenhower's atatement then was Interpreted In some quarters as meaning he was against the Idea of Warren's bidding for the presi dency.
