Hoover Claims
Danger Lies In
Spending Policy
Sober Warning
Is Sounded By
Former President
PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 11—OP)
—The nation today had the sober
warning of its only living former
president that its spending policies,
if unchecked, will rob posterity of
its Inheritance.
Former President Herbert Hoov-
er, in a significant address as-
serted last night that the United
States "is blissfully driving down
the back road to collectivism at
top speed." *
“We have not had a great social-
ization of property," he said, “but
we are on the last mile to collectiv-
ism through governmental collec-
tion and spending of the savings of
the people.”
The country's president from
1929 to 1933 spoke before an esti-
mated 10,000 persons on the Stan-
ford university campus.
The occasion was his 75th birth-,
day celebration, sponsored by the
university In tribute to Its most
famous son, a graduate of its first
class in 1895.
Alternatives Noted
"Along this road of spending,”
Hoover said, "the government either
takes over, which is socialism, or
dictates institutional and economic
life, which is fascism.
"We have a few hundred thous-
and Communists and their fellow
travelers in this country. They
cannot destroy the republic. They
are a nuisance and require atten-
tion. We also have the doctrinaire
socialists who peacefully dream of
their Utopia. (
"But there is a considerable
group of fuzzy-minded people who
are engineering a compromise with
all these European infections. They
fail to realize that our American
system has grown away from the
systems of Europe for 250 years.
They have the foolish notion that
a collectivist economy can at the
same time preserve personal liberty
and constitutional government.”
But, Hoover said, the "austerity"
in England should be a "sufficient
spectacle" of what happens when
nations try it.
Hoover said the thinking of the
American people was drugged by
such slogans as “welfare state.” He
called this term "a disguise for the
totalitarian state by the route of
spending.”
Figures Presented
Hoover presented some figures.
The average working citizen he
said now must work 61 days a year
to pay taxes supporting the govern-
ment, local, state and federal.
He divided the days this way: 11
to pay obligations from former
wars; 24 for national defense and
the cold war: 12 days for other
federal expenditures and 14 days
for state and local government.
Hoover said that "so long as we
must support the necessary na-
tional defense and cold war at a
cost of 24 work days per year to
Mr Average W. Citizen, there are
many comforting things that
should be deferred if we do not
wish to go down this road to ruin
of our national family life.”

Steel Board
Is Criticized
NEW YORK, Aug. 11—(/P)—Inland
Steel company's president. Clarence
B. Randall, said today that Presi-
dent Truman's creation of the steel
fact-finding board was an "indus-
trial revolution" which would lead
to permanent government wage-
fixing.
The attack on the president's ac-
tion was tne first made by an in-
dustry spokesman as the companies
began presentation of their case be-
fore the board. Randall is from
Chicago.
Last week the CIO Steel Workers
union argued before the board for
30-cents-an-hour package including
wage, pension and Insurance bene-
fits.
Randall, who spoke for his own
company but also was the keynoter
for the entire Industry, not only
rejected all the union's demands,
but also denounced the very process
of a fact-finding board itself.

BIRTHDAY (iREETINGS FOR HOOVER—Paying tribute to
Herbert Hoover, the only living ex-president of the United States,
on the occasion of his 75th birthday Wednesday, the San Francisco
junior chamber of commerce presented him with an elaborate birth-
day cake. The cake, shaped like a large book, was presented in the

Officers Slay
Fleeing Man
Shooting Occurs
At Police Station
OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 11—(U.R>
—Police bullets last night killed a
27-year-old Oklahoma City man as
he tried to escape from the local
police station, Where he was be-
ing booked for investigation of
burglary and robbery.
Eddie Lee Cox, 27. died of a gun-

Many Miles
Are Covered
Durham Spends
Most of Summer
Behind Wheel
FjlLOYD DURHAM, 519 South
* Ellison avenue, history and
social science teacher In El Reno
highschool, has done considerable
traveling this summer. But not
once has he been more than 55
or 60 miles away from El Reno.
In all, Durham has traveled
close to 11,000 miles since the
first of June.
That mileage Is divided almost
evenly between inside El Reno's
city limits and outside the city
limits.
The portion spent outside the
city was accumulated by six round
trips per week between El Reno
and Norman, where Durham was
studying at the University of Ok-
lahoma.
He received his master’s degree
in commercial education last
Monday.
The "inside El Reno" driving
was behind the wheel of a taxicab
on the 5 p. m. to midnight shift,
seven days a week.
The round trip to Norman
Durham figured at 110 miles. He
estimates he drives an average of
75 miles per night on the cab
run.
House Acts
On Wage Bill
WASHINGTON. Aug 11—</P)—
The house passed today a bill to
raise the national minimum wage
from 40 cents an hour to 75, as
asked by President Truman.
The measure went to the senate,
where a similar minimum wage
bill is pending. The senate has set
the measure aside repeatedly for
other legislation, however, and it is
uncertain when the bill may be
called up for debate there.
The house action was in sense, a
victory for the administration. The
bill carried the 75-cent minimum
advocated by the president. Secre-
tary of Labor Maurice Tobin, and
representatives of major labor
organizations.
However, it also carried sub-
stantially the revision of coverage
pushed by a coalition of Republi-
cans and southern Democrats. The
bill was Introduced by Representa-
tive Wingate Lucas ( Democrat,
Texas).
Bond Forfeited On
Speeding Charge
Albert L. Shorteeth. 29, of 711
North Evans avenue, booked at the
police station at 3:30 p. m. Wed-
nesday on a charge of speeding,
forfeited a $5 bond in municipal
court today, records of Lee Harvey,
chief of police, disclosed.
Approval For
Arms Aid Plan
Is Anticipated
Senator Taft
Foregoing Fight
Against Measure
WASHINGTON. Aug. 11—<>»»)—
FTiends of President Truman's
61,450,000,000 arms aid plan were
cheered today by word that Sen-
ator Robert Taft (Republican, Ohio)!
Mon’t lead a fight against it, and
by strong support from the mill-*
tary chiefs.
Taft, chairman of the GOP pol-.
icy committee, told a reporter he
probably will vote against the plant
of arming friendly nations. But he,
added he will not spearhead the
opposition as he did against the
North Atlantic treaty. Taft came
nowhere near winning his fight on
the pact but gave it plenty of
trouble.
Testimony Heard
The joint chiefs of staff—General
Omar N. Bradley of the army, Ad-
miral Louis E. Denfield of the navy
and General Hoyt Vandenberg of
the air force—added words of firm
support yesterday. They gave closed
door reports to the senate foreign
relations and armed services com-
mittees, and the house foreign af-
fairs committee. The committees
are studying the president's arms
program.
The senate groups called for tes-
timony today from W. Averell
Harriman, ambassador-at-large, and
Ambassador to Greece Henry F.
Grady.
Chairman Tom Connally i Demo-
crat, Texas) of the senate foreign
relations committee said he is con-
fident the senate will approve the
entire amount.
Question Raised
"I think we're going to get It
out as it is,” the Texas Democrat
said. "If you're going to do the
job, what’s the use of postponing
appropriations of money for arms
until later?”
Connally referred to a proposal
by. Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg
of Michigan, a top GOP foreign
affairs spokesman, to provide part
of the administration request in
cash and the remainder in contract
authority, with the actual funds,,
coming later.

Ford Workers
Favor Strike
Gasoline Famine Is
Threatened in Chicago
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Automobiles and gasoline were in
the limelight on the labor front
today.
Ford workers in Michigan voted
overwhelmingly to strike if necessary
to obtain pensions, health benefits
and a wage increase.
In Chicago, a strike of gasoline
truck drivers threatened a gasoline
famine of the nation's second
largest city and the surrounding
area.
Almost complete returns in the
Ford vote, supervised by the state,
showed the CIO United Auto Work-
ers won strike authority by a vote
Of 60,585 to 8,710.
This did not mean an immediate
strike, however.
“The union will exhaust every
reasonable effort to win justice for
the Ford workers through peaceful
collective bargaining,” Walter Reu-
ther. union president, said in a
statement.
"We are determined, however, to
obtain justice by the use of the
full economic power of our union
if the Ford Motor company con-
tinues in its refusal to meet the
just demands of the Ford workers
and their families," he added,
j "Our position remains unchang-
ed," John S. Bugas. Ford industrial
relations director, said. "We desire
to reach an agreement which gives
the best promise of providing the
largest number of steady jobs to
Ford employes. We believe that
raising costs at this time would
increase prices, reduce the volume
of business, and result in layoffs
for large numbers of workers."
combat plane
Once one of the toughest foes of
the big plane. Kenney gave it this
high praise before the house armed
services committee:
"As a night bomber, operating
over 40.000 feet, it is perfectly safe
to take it anywhere. Nobody has a
fighter plane that could touch it.”
The stubby, gray-haired air force
pioneer was a wartime allied air
commander in the Pacific.
He told his story to the commit-
tee after it heard former Secretary
of War Robert P. Patterson take
“full responsibility" for a pre-test
order of 100 B-36s given in 1943 to
get production rolling as quickly
as possible.
An air officer since 1917 and now
commander of the air university
at Maxwell Field, Ala., Kenney said
his first contact with the B-36
was in 1941 when he recommended
that the air force buy it.
This decision he said was based
on preliminary drawings and plans
submitted by four airplane manu-
facturers. Kenney was then chief
of procurement in the air materiel
command at Wright Field Ohio.
Kenney said he approved the
B-36 plans "solely on the merits
of design." This, he declared, was
“the only consideration.”
Patterson told the committee he
was not motivated by interest in
any of the individuals connected
with the Consolidated Aircraft
company, which buids the B-36.
station within the prescribed time
limit, Harvey said.
The police chief pointed out that
when traffic tickets are not re-
turned to the station within 36
hours, much additional bookkeeping
work in the department is entailed.
Probers Told
Of 'Influence'
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11—UP)—A
Milwaukee businessman testified to-
day he hired James V. Hunt in
1946 to help obtain some scarce
steel after Hunt spoke of influence
with President Truman’s army aide,
Major General Harry H. Vaughan.
Albert J. Gross told senate in-
vestigators that Hunt also men-
tioned friendship with former Post-
master General Robert Hannegan
and1 Lieutenant General Edmund
Gregory, former chief of the war
assets administration.
Hunt, now a management coun-
selor in Washington, is a key
figure in the five percenter inquiry
being conducted by the senate’s
special Investigating subcommittee.
Gross, who said he is with
Tractor Specialities, Inc., of Mil-
waukee, testified he paid Hunt
61.000 down, agreed to pay him
61.000 a month and 10 percent on
the price of any steel that Hunt
got for him.
However Gross said he got “not
a penny's worth of anything” out
of the deal—“not even a decent
letter."
4-H Boy Takes Top Prize
With His Two-Layer Cake
Increase Shown
In Polio Cases
Total for Nation
Now Exceeds 11,000
BY ASSOCtATED PRESS
More than 3,000 new polio cases
this month have boosted the na-
tion’s total for this year over 11,000.
An Associated Press survey
through Aug. 9 showed that the
number of cases in 1949 was run-
ning roughly 4,000 ahead of that
for the same date in 1948.
Last year, with a total of 27,680
cases reported, was the second
highest on record for polio inci-
dence. The worst year was 1916
when more than 30,000 cases were
counted.
Judged solely by case figures, the
polio situation looks more alarming
than it really is, health authorities
pointed out. They said that a
greater percentage of polio cases
are recognized and reported each
year, and that many of the added
proportion are so mild they would
have been diagnosed as a cold in
the head a few years ago.
Also, many local health officers
reported a slackening off tn new
case reports. And it was noted that
this year’s polio season developed
several weeks earlier than is usual.
TWO POLIO PATIENTS
ARE RELEASED HERE
Number of patients in the polio
ward at the El Reno sanitarium
was reduced to six today with the
release of two persons from Chicka-
sha.
Charles Riley, 2-year-old son of
Mrs. Fairy Riley, and Mrs. Leo
Howery, 22, both of Chickasha,
were released from the sanitarium
Wednesday night.
Both were suffering from the
milder type of the disease. Mrs.
Howery was admitted to the hos-
pital on July 28 and the Riley boy
was admitted the following day.
Other patients in the ward were
said to be progressing as well as
could be expected.
INCREASE REPORTED IN
COUNTY POUO FUND
Receipt of more funds from Ca-
nadian county’s 4-H clubs pushed
this county's contribution to the
state 4-H polio campaign to $134.65,
it was reported today by Bill Nelson,
assistant farm agent.
A number of clubs still have made
no reports. The reports must be
made by Saturday.
Cooking In the home may be
considered part of the woman’s
duties but Duain Campbell, 14-
year-old member of the Booster
4-H club, gave the fairer mem-
bers of the club a lesson Wed-
nesday night when he entered
the prize-winning cake in a club
contest.
The contest was a part of the
club's annual ice cream supper,
and technically was for girls only.
But Dualn’s two-layer white
cake with lemon icing was judged
superior to other entries.
The prize was a metal recipe
filing box which Duain said he
would use to keep records on his
pigs.
The regular meeting of the
club was held preceding the sup-
per. with members working on
their record books.
The supper was attended by
more than 50 persons including
the members, their parents and
the members of the extension of-
fice, Farm Agent and Mrs. Riley
Tarver and son. Newt; Miss Mar-
garet Edsel, home demonstration
agent, Miss Ethel Mae Wiggins
and Bill Nelson, assistant agents.
Installments Are Due
In Paving Districts
Installments on two El Reno pay-
ing districts are due now and will
become delinquent on Sept. 1, it
was reported today by Miss Ethel
Dowell. ,
, The two payments are the last
j installment on paving district No.
16 and the first installment on
| paving district No. 23. (
Paving for No. 16 was laid 10
years ago. Paving for No. 23 was

Agent Urges
Cattle Tests
New Law Designed
To Eliminate Disease
Canadian county stock raisers
are being urged to test their cat-
tle for brucelosis, or Bangs disease,
as soon as possible, it was an-
nounced today by Riley Tarvei,
county farm agent.
A new law pertaining to the con-
trol of brucelosis (Mas passed by the
last legislature. Tarver pointed out.
This law provides for the testing
and vaccination of cattle without
cost to the owner.
The Intent of the law, the agent
said. Is to eliminate Bangs disease
In Oklahoma.
Very little on testing and control
of brurelosis has been done during
the past eight years, Tarver said,
because otf the shortage of man-
power during and immediately
after the war.
Increase Noted
As a result, he said, there has
been an alarming Increase in the
toll of cattle due to the disease. ,
Since thts disease in cattle, the
agent said, Is the source of un-
dulant fever in humans It Is of in-
terest and Importance to the en-
tire community.
Tarver added that while un-
dulant fever is contracted In hu-
mans from diseased dairy cattle,
beef cattle also have brucelosis and
spread the disease.
It is to the interest of all stock
raisers, he said, that they test and
vaccinate both dairy and beef
cattle.
The new state and federal co-
operative plan is on a voluntary
basis, Tarver said, yet all livestock
owners are urged to make applica-
tion at the earliest) possible date.
Procedure Outlined
Four optional plans are present-
ed. They are:
1. Test and slaughter of reactors
with or without calfhood vaccina-
tion.
2. Test and slaughter of all re-
actors plus vaccination of all fe-
male calves. (Vaccination of bull
calves is optional. Retention of re-
actors optional.)
3. Test, of herd and vaccination
of adult negative animals and
calves with retention of reactors
permitted.
4. Calfhood vaccination without
testing any part of herd.
Tarver said that the goal in Ca-
nadian county is the 100 percent,
testing and ultimate elimination of
the disease.
Applications for the tests should
be made at the county agent's
office in the El Reno federal build-
ing or with a local veterinarian.
State Enters
Hobart Case
OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug. 11—(U.R)
—Attorney General Mac Q. Wil-
liamson will name a special prose-
cutor from his office to help in the
prosecution of Kiowa County At-
torney Carpenter Hughes, charged
with drunkenness.
Appointment of the special prose-
cutor will not come for several days,
Williamson said.
“I probably won't name anyone
for several days," Williamson said,
"because the case isn’t anywhere
near ready to jell yet."
Governor Roy J. Turner asked
Williamson to make a special prose-
cutor at the request of Max Carder,
Hobart attorney.
Hughes was arrested last month
by the highway patrol.
Mercy Planes
Rush Supplies
Info Ecuador
100,000 Persons
Still Displaced
After Earthquake
QUITO, Ecuador, Aug. 11—(U.R)—
Mercy planes of the U. S. air force
and the Latin American states flew
In doctors, food, blankets, tents and
DDT today for the helpless and
homeless people of central Ecuador.
A pall of dust hung over Tun-
gurahua state, where last Friday's
earthquake took several thousand
lives, displaced more than 100,000
persons, and completely destroyed
countless towns and villages.
Eleven planes of the U. 8. air
'force Caribbean command were the
vanguard of 20 that will fly 45
tons of tenting. 2,000 blankets, 500
pounds of DDT powder and other
supplies Into the disaster area from
their base at Balboa In the Canal
Zone.
Agencies Rally
Throughout the Americas private
and public agencies rallied to the
relief of the quake victims. Ecuador
itself already was planning recon-
struction of the devastated area.
Dust hung over the quake zone,
where mountain sides were still
crumbling and buildings were pow-
dered rubble. The earth still quiv-
ered in some places, but there were
no more temblors, and panic among
the refugees subsided.
Destruction Widespread
The destruction was almost be-
yond imagination. Nothing showed
above the 10-foot heap of rubble
that once was Pelileo, a town of
3,500. The countless persons trapped
alive no longer cried out.
Almost every church in the state
was wrecked to some degree, and
200,000 persons were without a place
to worship. Many priests died in
the rain of crashing domes.
A survey showed 40 churches, 15
of them large cathedrals, were re-
duced to shambles. At least 100
persons perished as they worship-
ped. Sixty little girls were burled
in the ruins of the Ambato cathe-
dral, where they were taking In-
struction for their first communion.
ECUADORIAN TEMBLOR
SUCCESSFULLY FORECAST
HOLLISTER, Calif., Aug. 11—(U.R)
—A graduate geologist who live* in
California's "cradle of earthquakes"
successfully forecast the dlsasterous
Ecuadorian temblor that killed
thousands.
Howard Harris of Cinega told
the Hollister Evening Freelance on
April 19 that a quake of "large
magnitude” would strike South
America, probably near Lima, Peru,
in August.
One of the factors on which he
based his prediction was “relieving
of the tension” built up by the
serious northwest earthquake that
shortly preceded his forecast.
Harris' home is near the top of
one of the most active portions of
the San Andreas fault which caused
the devastating 1906 San Francisco
earthquake and fire.
