Residents of Yukon Invited To
Take Advance Look at Hospital
El Reno’s new Park View hospital will observe a special
“Yukon Day” openhouse Sunday with an invitation being
extended to all residents ol Yukon and the surrounding area
to tour the newly completed building.
Arrangements were through cooperation of the Yukon
Lions club and hours of the
open house will be from
5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The openhouse will be one of a
series which is being held in order
to afford all Canadian county resi-
dents an opportunity to inspect the
many facilities the new institution
has to offer.
Present Best Time
Hospital officials said the plan of
holding the series of openhouse pro-
grams was decided upon because it
will be impractical for visiting
groups to tour the building, viewing
operating rooms and other such
facilities, once they have been put
into use.
The new 40-bed hospital, financed
by a city bond issue and funds
granted by the federal government
under the Hill-Burton act. currently
is receiving finishing touches before
beginning operations, probably late
in August.
Equipment Placed
Out-of-town residents were ad-
vised that the hospital, located on
rising ground at the west edge of
El Reno, and southwest of Adams
park, may be reached through the
park drives, either from U. S. 66,
or the Country club road.
Lon Booth, hospital board chair-
man, said Robert Trimble, manager,
is busily preparing for both the
opening and the special Yukon tour
this week, supervising the placing
of equipment and putting together
his operating staff.
All members of the Canadian
County Medical society, including
Yukon physicians, have been invited
to membership on the hospital’s
medical staff, which is headed by
Dr. A. L. Johnson, El Reno.
Rhee Fails To
Win Support
Of Asian War
WASHINGTON. July 29 —(U.R)—
Administration leaders and key con-
gressmen made it plain today that
this country will not back South
Korean President Syngman Rhee tn
his proposed war of liberation in
Asia.
They praised him for his stub-
born determination to rid his coun-
try and the world of the Commu-
nist menace. But they privately took
exception to resorting deliberately
to the terrors and destruction of
war.
Rhee. who is visiting the United
States as the guest of President
Eisenhower, made his war call in
a defiant speech before a joint
session of congress yesterday.
He urged American military and
naval help to attack North Korea
and Red China. He asked for aid
to double South Korea's 20 divi-
sions. He said it would be "excel-
lent" if Russia intervened because
it would justify the United States
bombing it into surrender.
At a Korean embassy dinner last
night, President Eisenhower and
Rhee exchanged friendly toasts
without alluding directly to the idea
of reopening the Korean war.

A nationalist Chinese news
agency reported today a Russian
cruiser and four destroyers were
i'.ovlng through the straits of For-
mosa toward the Hainan trouble
zone in the South China sea.
Chinatone news agency said un-
derground sources on the Chinese
mainland said the warships refuel-
ed at the port of Tslngtao and
then continued their journey south
ward.
The agency, which claims it has
an information pipeline to na-
tionalist Chinese military intel-
ligence, connected the movement of
ships with "recent hostilities" near
Hainan.
It was near Hainan that Red
Chinese planes shot down a British
passenger plane last Friday, killing
10 of the 18 persons aboard, in-
cluding three Americans.
Planes Keep Away

scene of the dowming of two Red

Its pilots to give Hainan a wide

In Washington, the navy an-
nounced it has called off the search
for survivors of the airline and it
was presumed that two aircraft
carriers which moved into the Hai-
nan area will leave.

Kerr To Face

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 29—(U.R)
—A defeated U. S. senate candidate
has asked the state supreme court
to hold up issuance of a certificate
of nomination to Senator Robert S.
Kerr ( Democrat-Oklahoma i and
said he had evidence of alleged
"misconduct and excessive expendi-
tures" by Kerr.

who received 10.014 votes to Kerr's

asked that the state election boavd

Hunt said Kerr spent more than

MacArthur May
Tour Oklahoma
To Support GOP
Coe Hints at Break
In Democratic Ranks;
Sparks Hits at Foe
By the Associated Press
Oklahoma's political picture
for the general election took
on surprise twists today with
the possibility General
Douglas MacArthur may
come to the state to campaign
for the Republicans and de-
feated gubernatorial candi-
date William O. Coe may
desert the Democratic party
ticket.
Hints of these new possi-
bilities came as the Republi-
can nominee for governor,
Reuben Sparks, Woodward,
declared his Democratic op-
ponent should “wait until he
is elected before he starts re-
organizing the state govern-
ment.
The GOP hopes the prestige of
McArthur, now a corporation exec-
utive In New York, will be suffi-
cient to swing the election from
Incumbent Robert S. Kerr to GOP
candidate Fred Mock.
for of MacArthur
Kerr was a bitter foe of Mac-
Arthur, assailing the general when
he was recalled from Japan by
President Truman.
It was felt MacArthur could be
persuaded to come to Oklahoma to
campaign against Kerr.
In Washington, Kerr released a
statement saying;
"The Republican high command
had threatened to 'put men and
money into Oklahoma' in their de-
termined effort to try to defeat
me."
Meanwhile, after a two-day si-
lence, Coe issued a statement which
left In doubt his support of the
Democratic ticket.
Coe was defeated by Raymond
Gary by 17.000 votes in Tuesday's
runoff primary after a bitter per-
sonal battle. Coe had charged Gary
was a tool ol the statehouse ma-
chine Gary faces Sparks in the
general election.
Coe Leaves Qurstion
After victory was assured, Gary
called on Democrats to unite for
the good of the party in the gen-
eral election. He asked for Coe sup-
porters to rally to him.
In a statement today, Coe left
a big question mark on his future
plans when he told his campaign
workers not to make any changes
yet.
"I am and have always been
a Democrat not only in name but
in loyalty, belief and fidelity," he
said. "I have been a party worker
all these years but It may be that
when all the facts are known it
would be a healthy thing for my
party to start cleaning its own
house.
"I makq no charges at this time
but I do ask every loyal co-worker
to hold the line and make no com-
mitment until we have determined
the facts."
Gary 'Overconfident'
Sparks, meanwhile, said Gary, the
Democratic candidate, was over-
confident In acting now to name
his legisative leaders.
Gary yesterday chose State Rep-
resentative B. E. "Bill" Harkey of
Oklahoma City to be house speaker
and Representatives James Bullard
of Duncan and Lou Allard of
Drumright as his floor leaders.
"Gary is jumping the gun plenty
if he thinks his nomination Tues-
day assures him of election," Sparks
said, "I think there is no question
but that the people of Oklahoma
have had their fill of Democrat
gubernatorial candidates whose
stock in trade is name-calling."
•Let People Decide'
Sparks said Gary should "stick
to his job as state senator and let
the people of Oklahoma decide in
November who they want for gov-
ernor."
Sparks has been promised sup-
port of life-long Democrats whe
claimed they were "fed up with
electing Democratic governors,
whose top qualifications have been
the ability to sling mud faster than
their opponents."
State GOP Chairman Dougla;
McKeever of Enid, who was meet-
ing here with Sparks today, joined
Sparks in the criticism and pre-
dicted a Republican victory in No-
vember.
