Roosevelt son of the late Presi

brother-in-law, said he informed
his mother, Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
“Naturally we are both very
shocked,” Roosevelt said. “It is a
tragic thing.”

Five Dead In
Oregon Floods
PORTLAND, Ore. (#>)—Muddy
ricer flood crests swept into board
valleys of western Oregon yester
day after claiming five lives and
leaving untold damage In moun
tain areas.
Headwater streams that had
driven 2,000 people from homes
over the week-end were receding
almost as fast as they had swirled
out of their banks. Some commun
ities were still isolated behind
flooded roads and broken or un
safe bridges. Many families in
rural southern Oregon were ma
rooned a third day.
The evacuation of a Co'quille
Valley farm family led Monday
to the drowning of Leo A. Lan
dive, 35 and his son Dan age 9.
Landive’s wife, another son and
neighbors Joe Howanick and Iver
son struggled ashore when a row
boat capsized in the churning
river.
Two of the other victims per-1
ished in the same wild Oregon
Coastal Range river earlier.
Chief Highway engineer R. H.
Baldock said damage to roads and
bridges of south Oregon’s Rogue,
Umpqua and Coquille Valleys
may be the worst in history. Roads
were undermined by the flash
flooding after storms had rolled
j in off the Pacific day and night
for almost a week.

future compliance with the
screening program.
There was no reply from the
union by the 3 p.m. Monday dead
line, Skinner said. The deadline
had to be set to provide enough
time to put the Baranof back in
regular passenger service, and to
book passengers, for next Friday’s
scheduled sailing.
“We figured now that the Wa
terfront Security Act has been in
voked by President Truman, mak
ing the screening program manda
tory, that we could make plans
for resumption of uninterrupted
passenger service,” Skinner said.
“But we cannot resume that serv
ice until we receive definite as
surance that the union will sup
ply replacements for men. that
might be removed under the
screening program.”
Union officials did not comment
on the ship line’s reported action.!
Meanwhile, theer was no word |
from the House committee on la
bor and education which report
edly was to review results of Con

Union ignored the inquiry into
the passenger ship dispute. The
union said it would not send rep
resentatives to the hearing on the
question unless the hearing was
open to* press and public.

India Not Satisfied
With Tibet Invasion
NEW DELHI, India, (/P)—India
has told communist China she is
not satisfied with the Red regime’s
explanation of its invasion of
Tibet.
An official spokesman said last
night that the Peiping govern
ment had told India its trocrp ac
tion in Tibet was a “liberation,”
not an invasion, undertaken to
frustrate foreign powers seeking
to ues the Lama-ruled land as a
base for aggression against China.
The communist note'contended
also that Tibet is under Chinese
sovereignty.
An indian reply already sent to
Peiping expressed dissatisfaction
with the Chinese position and
again stated that India viewed
military action as regrettable since
a peaceful solution “could easily
have been effected,” a foreign
ministry source said.
