Senator Douglas Puts
Share Of Korea Blame
On Gen. Eisenhower
Tells Convention Head
Of Army Urged U. S.
To RecuiI Troops in AT
By the Assoeiated Press

CHICAGO, July 21.-Senatol
Douglas, blasting Republican crit
icism Of Korea policy. said today
the Republicans must share II
any blame-and he named name
from presidential nominee Dwigh
D. Eisenhower on down.
In a speech prepared for tht
opening session Of the Democratic
National convention, the Illinoi!
Senator stuck to one topic: Tht
Korean war.
Senator Douglas strongly de.
Tended the administrations de-
ciSion to fight in Korea, although
he often has been critical of Pres
ident Truman. And, although hi
backs Tennessee Senator Kefauv-
er's bid for the Democratic presi-
Dental nomination, Senator
Douglas made no mention in his
prepared talk Of the wide-open
race for that prize.
Quotes From Platform.
Senator Douglas quoted this
from the party platform adopted
two weeks ago by the Republican
convention:
I'm South Korea, they (the
present administration withdrew
our occupation troops in the face
of the aggressive, poised for action
Communist military strength or
its northern border. They pub.
licly announced that Korea was
of no concern to us i. +. with fore
sight, the Korean war woulc
never have happened"
Then Senator Douglas said thu
Joint Chiefs Of Staff reported ii
September, 1947s that the United
States had little strategic interest
in keeping troops in Korea. HI
added:
"Now, who do you suppose wa.
chief of staff of the Army wher
this military advice was given?
ut was Dwight D. Eisenhower
standard-b bearer Of those who nov
charge us with withdrawing oul
troops and bringing on the Ko.
rean war;"
Ticks on Other Names.
Senator Douglas said the join
chiefs recommendation in 1914
was Gin the light Of the severe
shortage of military manpower'
which followed rehabilitation de.
mands by the public and "politi.
clans Of both parties"
Continuing to tick of names
Senator Douglas said Republican.
like Gen. Douglas Macarthur
John Foster Dulles and retired
Gen. Albert Wedemeyer held KEY
role in United States action,
affecting Korea prior to the out.
break Of hostilities there.
Senator Douglas said he did not
know whether foresight could
have prevented the Korea war. II
so, he added, neither Gen. Eisen-
hover nor the Republican Party
has a record Of any such fore
sight.
BY meeting the Korean aggres-
sion, Senator Douglas said, Pres
ident Truman put the interests
Of our country ahead Of personal
and partisan advantage"
Senator Douglas, a wounded
and decorated Marine In World
War II, also drew the honor of
introducing Sergt. John A. Pitt
man Of Greenwood, Miss, winner
Of the Congressional Medal Of
Honor in Korea.

DR.. James I. Boyd, Prince
Georges County medical ex-
aminer, said the man bled to
death from eight stab wounds
probably inflicted by a broad
blade instrument such as a kitch-
en- knife.
Artery Severed.
None, of the cuts was deeper
than 1K inches, but the lethal
wound severed an artery in the
upper left arm. Other cuts were
in the back of the neck, the right
shoulder and the chest. The fatal
arm wound probably occurred
when Mr.. Moore threw up his
arms to defend himself.
DR.. Boyd did not set the prob
able hour of death but said it
occurred in the early morning. He
said some of the wounds could
not have been self-infiicted.
Formerly of Knoxville, Tenn,
Mr.. Moore was employed by the
Bero Engineering & Construction
Co. of Hampton, Va. His truck
was parked at the rear Of the
company's branch Office at TB.
A fellow worker, Edgar Deboe
of near TB, found the body at
6:1O am. It was just inside the
rear door of the 25-foot van.
Clothed in trousers. shirt. socks
and shoes. the body was lying
on it's side.
Believed Slain Outside Truck.
Behind the truck and under a
horseshoe Mr.. Moore apparently
had nailed there for good luck.
was a pool Of blood. From the
blood on the mans shoes, it ap-
|peared there had been a struggle
there and that possibly the killer
later tossed the body into the
truck.
The interior of the truck was
neatly arranged with furniture
and other furnishings, and there
was no evidence of a fight. Near
the body was othed bloodstained
clothing. It appeared that the
bed had been slept in.
Mr.. Moore was not married.
On the walls of the truck were
photographs of two attractive
women. Mr.. Moore's wardrobe was
described as better than average.
He applied for work at the con-
Struction firm in April. His supe-
riors said Mr.. Moore was a highly
competent welder, who was punc-
tual on the job and had the ac-
tions Of a gentleman. They knew
nothing of his private life.
Two Rifles in Truck.
Police found two rifles, one a
80 caliber and the other a %, in
a closet Of the truck. They also
found a .38 caliber service-type
revolver. None Of the weapons had
been fired recently.
Mr.. Deboe had been calling for
Mr.. Moore each morning to drive
him to work at Andrews Air Force
Base. They have been working on
a project to extend taxiways at
the airport.
Police were reluctant to discuss
the case and would not reveal If
the death weapon had been found.
Off1cialS said a license for the
truck had been issued to Mr..
Moore at Boydton, Mecklenburg
County, Va.

Clare Osborn 78,
First Manager
Of City, Dies

East Cleveland's first city man.
ager, Clare Osborn, 78, died De-
cember 18th in the home of his
daughter, Hazel, in Pittsburgh.
His death followed just a month
that of his wife, Mildred, who died
in their home in Kenilworth, on
November 11th.
Memorial services were held in
Westlake Monday, December 18th.
A graduate of then Case School
of Applied Science, Mr.. Osborn was
the city engineer in Lorain when
called to take over the new post
of city manager for East Cleve-
land on January 1st, 1918. Four
years later he resigned to become
city manager at Kenosha Wise,
and there held similar positions at
Wilmette and Kenilworth. He was
one of the founders of the Cleve-
land Community Fund.
His great-grandfather, Reuben
Osborn became the second settler
in what is now Bay Village, taking
up residence there in May of 1911.
In addition to his daughter, who
is on the faculty of the University
of Pittsburgh, he leaves a son,
James, at Yale University, a sister
Lucy, and two grandchildren.

Gas Rates
Adjusted

An adjustment of gas rates for
East Cleevland and other area con-
sumers who have been paying the
new higher gas rate for three
months, will appear on their Febru-
ary, March and April statements.
East Cleveland has been advised
by the East Ohio Gas Co. that the
bills for three month period, be-
ginning with gas used on and after
the first reading date following
November 80, 1852, and ending
with gas used up to the next read
ing date after February 28th, 1858.
The new rate is two cents in
crease on the first 1000 cubic feet
and five cents on each 1000 cubic
feet thereafter.
Since Cleveland began paying the
new rate three months later than
did the suburbs, the proposal will
place all consumers in the county
on a uniform rate by May. The
varying dates of expiring contracts
between suburbs and the company
caused the difference in the date
on which the new rates became ef-
fective in each suburb and in Cleve-
land.
The proposal effects domestic
consumers only. ..

City Ready For
A Big, Big Snow

Let 'er snow. East Cleveland is
ready for any snow equal to any
snow in its history up to now. The
City Commission on Tuesday night
authorized the purchase of a snow
plow for at a cost of $1,250.
The plow, it is explained, will
be an emergency piece of equip
ment ready for use in the event
of a snowfall that closes all side
streets. Then the V will go through,
sufficient to open one auto trail
to permit milk trucks and such
necessary deliveries to get through.
"We hope we do not have to use
it for Is years., commented
Finance Director G. T. Apthorp,
but we are ready" Just year ago
to the day, the city battled 49,
inch snowfall.
The city has seven other plows
of the straight away type.

New WHY'S Car
To Cost Less

The new 1853 WHY'S cars are on
display this week at Kraushaar-
Hunt Co., 1885 Euclid ave., op-
posite East Cleveland City Hall,
and the most important feature of
the new and much broadened WHY'S
line is a very substantial reduction
in price.
Mr.. Kraushaar, president of the
local agency, tells us price reduc-
tions run from $88 to $185 on 2
door models and 4-doors will be
priced lower than comparable 1852
2-door cars.
These price reductions are made
possible because of higher govern
ment ALLEGATIONS of material, per-
mitting WHY'S to more than double
its passenger car production, thus
more volume and lower prices.
Be sure to see the new WHY'S at
Kraushaar & Hunt showroom this
week.

increase in salary and a cut in
week working hours. Police also
seek salary boosts.
The $910,980 figure includes
S14,065 which will be needed next
year to meet the cost of three
additional policemen. 1t is also ex-
pected to add to personnel in the
fire department if an hour cut is
granted these men.
General Fund total cost for 1852
is 1896. $50, $4,000 less than the
1853 estimate figures, with no
salary additions included.
The city hopes to meet the in
creased operating costs from in
creased revenues combined with
estimated unencumbered balances
January 1st, 1853. This balance
will be about $4,000. Anticipated
General Fund revenues for 1853 are
$9O6,203.
In a foreward to the Estimate
submitted to the City Commission,
Mr.. Carran states:
''In only three funds, Sewage
Service, General Bond Retirement
and Water, are current revenues
likely to be adequate to cover cur
rent expenditures. In the General
Fund, Gas Tax Fund, Auto Fund
and Relief Fund, it will probably
be necessary to use all or part of
the working balances carried over
January 1, 1858 in order to balance
the 1858 budgets.
