STORM IS RAGING IN NORTHWEST Gales Reported in Eastern Oregon' Washingmn_ |:[(l‘)x and any fire hazards,” he add- Damage Extensive (By Asscciated Press) Gales raged through a broad band of eastern Oregon and Wash- ington last night and today while torrntial rainfall set an all-time record at Eugene. ‘Trees were uprooted and tele- phone and power lines tangled from Walla Walla to La Grande as gusts up to 81 miles an hour—well above hurricane force—lashed the area. Western Oregon and southwest- ern Washington rivers began to rise. Eugene’s Amazon Creek boiled out of its banks in places and one family was evacuated by rowboat. Southeast Portland’s Johnson Creek spread out five inches deep over S. E, Foster Road from 108th to 114th Avenues. To midnight Eugene reported a 3.45-inch rainfall in 24 hours, great- est in the 60 years of the weather station there. Salem basements were flooded as storm sewers failed to carry away the deluge. At Walla Walla, a windstorm with 81-mile-an-hour gusts wrecked a grain warehouse, damaged barns and farm homes and snarled tele- phone and power lines. Uprooted trees fell on homes and automobiles. There were numerous narrow escapes but no reported in- juries to persons. RODEN SAYS TERR. FUNDS SUFFICIENT T0 END OF YEAR The Territory’s finances are still in the black and there will be money to carry it's business through the year, Henry Roden, Territorial Treasurer, said today. The Treasurer's report for the month to November 15, released to- day shows a bank balance of $3,- 343,141.69. Outstanding warrants to- tal $724,796.51, leaving a balance of $2,618,345.18. From this balance is taken a sum of $2,005,403.52 for special and earmarked funds, leav- ing an actual balance on hand of $612,941.66 for the general fund. Roden said that with funds com- ing in there will be a sufficient amount to carry on the territorial business until the Legislature con- venes in January without having to borrow. The Washington Merry - Go - Roun Copyright, 1950, by Ine.) By DREW Bell Synaicate, PEARSON ASHINGTON—Politics runs in cycles. And the politicaP cycle a quarter of a century ago has some interesting comparisons with that today. In fact, it's almost similar. A quarter of a century ago, in the election of 1926, Calvin Cool- idge, supposedly supreme in the White House, almost lost control of Congress. He retained the Senate by exactly the same majority as Harry Trunman today—one vote. The House he kept by a margin of 42. Today Truman’s margin there is 34. Some interesting figures popped up in that surprise election of 1926. A young man from Maryland named Millard Tydings, son of & Susquehanna River boatman and hitherto unknown, was elected to the Senate. A quarter of a century later, Tydings, in another surprise election, bowed out. The man who defeated him, John Marshall But- ler, was equally unknown. Another interesting figure swept into the Senate in that 1926 sur- prise ciection was a relative new- comer from Kentucky named Al- ben Barkley. He defeated Republi- can Senator Richard P. Ernst, chalrman of the privileges and el- ections committee and considered a sure bet to win.

She visited chiefly with her mother in Salem and enjoyed a visit with her son Farle III. (Bud), pre-medical stu- dent at the University of Oregon, and the Dr. Robert Coffee family, former Juneau residents in Port- land. Mrs. Hunter brought with her a new addition to the family circle, 12'. months old “Jodalaine’s Polka Dot Girl,” a big name for a small ypuppy, so Mrs. Hunter says, she will be called ‘Jody.” ON TRIP TO NORTHWEST Mrs. Arthur Hedges went south and C. L. Anderson, director, would attend a meeting of the Pacific Marine Fisheries which is to be held in San Francisco, Dec. 4. Today recommendations for 1951 fishing season regulations were being heard by the Board. FORMER JUNEAU (PR AGENT DIES, RUPERT According to a wire received by Walter B.

D. Sutton and the wife of a prominent trucking firm head. ‘The husband, J. P. McRea, 34, had learned of the tryst and was wait- ing near Sutton's well-furnished but lonely lakeside cabin 25 miles from here. He caught the two in bed in a nude embrace yesterday morning, fired twice at close range, staggered from the cabin and collapsed of a heart attack. Mrs. McRea’s head was blown off. Sutton’s was almost so. She was 33; Sutton 39. McRea was jailed, then taken to Glendale hospital here under guard. His condition was reported as fair. No charge was placed against him. Sutton was married and had a son, Charles. Mrs. Sutton was re- vorted visiting somewhere in the west. Mrs. McRea left her Jacksonville home early yesterday, telling friends she was going to a meeting of the P-TA, in which she had taken an active part. Because of her son, 16, she also had been active in the patrol boys mother’s association.

The military committee, com- posed on top ranking military of- ficers of the North Atlantic Treaty nations, and the council of depu- ties are seeking a German rearma- ment plan on which the U.

The test was supplied by Com- munist planes carrying delegates from England to the Communist- line peace congress in Warsaw. Their flights were tracked and patrols investigated them. The first test came when a Sov- iet plane carrying French Com- munist leader Maurice Thorez to Moscow for medical treatment made an uncharted flight over Western Germany . Radar picked up the plane and a Jjet patrol was sent to investigate. Yesterday the radar net and pa- trols had their busiest day. Thirty-nine unauthorized flights by Eastern Europe Communist planes were sighted and traced as k'hey moved ‘over Western Germany. The West has placed no embargo lagalmi flying over Western Ger- ma but demands that each plane motify alr headquarters: of its ar- rival, course and identity. None of the Communist planes did so. WAKEFIELD TELLS CHAMBER DUTIES, TERR. FISHERIES “There are some whorbelieve that the Territorial Department of Fish- eries is duplicating the work car- ried on by the Federal Fish anc ‘Wildlife Service in Alaska, but that is not true,” Howard Wakefield de- clared today, He spoke at a reg- ular Juneau Chamber cf Commerce luncheon meeting at the Barano. Hotel. He pointed out that the curtail ment of Federal funds for FWE is hampering its work and that if, and when Alaska becomes a state it will be necessary to have a work- ing organization to take over the work now being handled by the Federal government’ “Since the Territory derives 60 per cent of its income from taxes on fishing acti- vities, it is important that the fisheries be protected, and perpet- uated for future generations,” he said. Citing a few specific instances of Federal. fund cutting, Wakefielo said that at one time there were 250 stream guards to see that sal. mon got up the rivers to spawn, but that number had been drastic- ally cut, Last season the Territory provided 17 stream watchmen tc cooperate in this important phase and hoped to fufnish 20" next year He also declared that the Cook Inlet area was being overfished anc something would have to be done soon to save the red and king salmon runs there, “Despite thoughts to the con- trary, the Alaska Fisheries Boarc is trying to do the best job possibl. and not show any favoritism fo any particular type of gear or dis- trict,” he concluded. Dick Peter of KINY played 2 recording of a Truth or Conse quences Hollywood radio show which featured Paul Harvey whce recently was given a trip to Juneau to pan some gold for an engage- ment ring for his fiance. Follow- ing his report_on the Juneau trip, he was told to go to Africa where he would have to mine a diamond to complete the ring. Arrange- ments were thoughtfully made with Stewart Granger, a movie star, to take Harvey's fiance to dinner while he was mining the diamond Guests included members of the fisheries board: J. P.

As German school children waved welcome, eight 33-ton Comet tanks rolled from a freight train to the British armored force depot. Shortly afterward 200 American soldiers also arrived by rail. The soldiers were members of the headquarters company of the Sixth Infantry regiment, which by January will reenforce the American troops here to the level of a pow- erfully armed regimental combat team. At noon, the Allied Kommanda- tura (The three western command- ants) announced it would equip and train the 13,800 police force in west Berlin with submachineguns, auto- matic rifles and rifles. This is “in the interests of Berlin security,” the Kommandatura as- serted. It described the weapons as “types normal to a modern police force.” “Most of them will be retained in Allied hands and issued to the police only in case of emergency,” the Kommandatura continued. “It is felt that this re-equipping of the west Berlin police is long over- due, since the Soviets have long ignored Allied control council direc- tive No. 16 which authorizes only bistols and. truncheons. for the po- lice.” AIR DEFENSE BASE MOVED T0 COLORADO WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 — (A — The Air Forée announced today that headquarters of its new Air Defense Command will be shifted from Long Island to Ent Air Force Base, Colorado Springs, Colo., early n 1951 Approximately 800 military and civilian personnel will be assigned to the new headquarters, The Air Defense Command will e responsible for the air defense of the United States. It is one of three separate major commands being formed by splitting the present Continental Air Com- mand, which has its headquarters it Mitchel Air Force Base, Long (sland, N. Y. To Be Divided The Continental Air Command is seing divided into the Air Defense Jommand, a tactical air command lealing with support for ground .roops, and a reduced Continental Air Command administering and reining civillan units of the Air Force. The Air Defense Command will 2e under the command of Lt. Gen. Ennis C. Whitehead, now com- manding general of the Continental Air Command. The Air Defense Command will be an important nerve center in the U. S. defense setup. Located n the interior, it will be far beyond the range of possible attack by zuided missiles fired from sub- marines. Enemy planes in order to -attack it would have to fly a considerable distance overland, making them more subject to detection and in- terception than if their approach were entirely over water, LIQUOR MEN CONVENE HERE THIS MORNING Members of the Alaska Retail Liquor Dealers Assoclation con- vened at 10 o'clock this morning to discuss a program for 1951 with the hope that enough board mem- !bers will arrive in order to take action, iucluding election of of- ficers. { In addition to the six here yes- | terday, R.

GERMANYiGO T0 _BERlIN{ Marines Meef Ene CANNERY AT | DOUGLAS IS NEAR WRECK The 50 to 60 a mile winds which swept Gastineau Channel last night partially demolished the big 140 foot cannery at Douglas and ob- servers said that if the winds con- tinue in strength today little will be left of the structure by night- fall. The building is constructed of aluminum siding over shiplap end last night and today large pieces of the metal borne through the air by the winds have made it un- safe for a close approach to the/ site, observers said. Off Goes the Roof | By noon the roof and the top story which Is a storage loft, in- cluding its wood rafters and floor were gone as well as the big smoke- stack. The stack had been newly re- placed after the destruction of the| original stack in a wind storm last year, A large portion of the beach side of the building had been torn away and the winds this afternoon were completing their work of des- truction on that side and on the other walls of the structure. Equipment Intact The new heavy canning equip- men which had been stored in the loft had been removed to the first floor in the past.week, 1t wag. seidy and was being crated to be ship- ped to the Continental Can Com- pany from which it was leased. At press time today it had been im- possible to determine whether the machinery had been damaged but it was believed to remain intact. The creosoted piling on which the cannery stands, near the north end of Mayflower Island appéared to be undamaged. The cannery building was newly built in the year 1947-48. Aluminum siding was used in the construction, one of the newer metals in building preferred for its durability. It is a thinner material than that of older materials, corrugated steel and tin, and observers said apparently it could not hold against the strong winds and was pulleed loose over the nail heads which secured it. Ironically the two old buildings on the site which are covered with corrugated metal are still stand- ing, undamaged. It is believed insurance is car- ried for the building against wind damage. Insurance, it was said, was collected for wind damage done to the building last year. The cannery is owned by the Douglas Canning Company, Inc. composed of Douglas and Juneau stockholders.

Other Allied troops slogged to within 20 miles of the Manchurian border in gen- eral advances along the frozen northeast front. In the western advance, lines north and west of the Chongehon river moved up as much as three miles. These lines are manned by South Korean, British and units of the U.S. First Corps. On their right flank, South Ko- reans who have been subject to the heaviest blows of the Com- munist enemy, were able to stab- ilize their lines. They were driven back four miles yesterday. To the northeast, on the Pungsan front, U.S. Seventh Division units thrust against light resistance and gained five miles. US. Marines ran into a sizable force of Red troops on the Changjin reservoir. This was the first time in six days the Marines have felt any real enemy strength, Patrols of the Seventh Marine Regiment encountered the Reds west of the reservoir and the town of Hagaru which they captured without opposition. The Marines pounded - the foe with 105 mm, artillery, Earlier the Marines had heard reports of a big Chinese Communist buildup in the snow capped moun- tains west of the reservoir.
