, In behalf of the referendum mea
sure on the November ballot
which would amend the licensing
and acquisition provisions of the
, Hydroelectric Commission Act.
Ball pointed out that the state
Is "almost out of" electric power.
t He explained that Oregon Is
. "short" 150,000 kilowatts of ac
tual power needs an4 If "any-
' thing happens" to the present
' generating units, there would be
, brownouts throughout the North
west. This Is because of the In
creased Industrial demand for
, power In recent years.
Ball said that Referendum 306
Is "a good piece of legislation"
- and If passed would encourage
private enterprise to develop hy
droelectric projects "for the first
' time In 17 years" and thus in
crease the state'i power gener-

"What Is your answer?" Kers-
ten demanded.
Leonard repeated an earlier
statement that he would not
"divulge anything between my
client and myself."
"We may as well dismiss this
witness," Kersten said.
Leonard took a seat In the
audience. He rose again to re-
sursc his question about "dnen
mentation." Rep. O. C. Fisher,
(D-TEX.) a committee member,
said "Mr. chairman, I suggest If
he's going to pop up all the
time ne Be excluded from the
court noom."
He wasn't though, and Kersten
recalled Foisie to the stand.
"Are you now, or have you
ever beon a member of the Com
munist party?" Kersten asked.
"I are not," Foisie snapped.
He testified that on ot Brid
ges' contract demands was that
the shipowners agree that long
shoremen would not work any
shlD which the World Federation
of Trade UYilons declared should-

Plane Lost in 1940
Pound in Eastern
Douglas County
MEDFORD. Ore., Oct. 22 UP)
An eight-year-old mystery was
cleared today witn report tnat
a plane in which Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. Walbert of Medford disap
peared Nov. 29, 1940, has been
found.
A hunter reported it In a wild.
inaccessible canyon 73 miles from
here, 20 miles west of Diamond
Lake near the South Fork of the
Umpqua River in Douglas County-
The Walberts took off for Port
land In the light plane owned
by the Medford Flying Club and
were not heard from again. Or
ganized search was abandoned
the next spring and the follow
ing fall, after hunters had not
reported it, rewards were with
drawn. Allison Moulton, Medford at
torney, today told this story of
the finding:
He, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Woold
ridge of Central Point and Agnes
Jones of Ashland were hunting
In the area from his nearbv cab
in. The morning of Oct. 13 Woold
ridge decided to go Into the can
yon which Moulton himself had
not hunted since the Ian of 1940.
A short time later he came back
with the report of the plane. He
said Identification was establish
ed by a watch bearing Walberts
name and a CAA Identification
card on which the name of Wal
bert was legible. The skeletons,
he said, were side by aide in the
plane.
The plane apparently hit the
tops of trees and came down,
shearing off one wing. There
were several near by spots where
emergency landings could have
been attempted, he said, but there
was fog In the area at the time
of the crash.
William H. Walbert of Port
land is expected here late today
to go to the scene.

tlon) is along the right line." He
said he could not say what the
U. S. stand would be.
Usually reliably U. N. sources
said Vishinsky requested the de
lay until Monday but gave no
reason.
The Russian was In fine spirits
when he left the session. He told
a reporter It is "of course" too
early to comment on the resolu
tion. "I will have to look at It." he
said. When Vishinsky arrived, he
had been grim and taciturn, but
after the meeting, he told a
re
porter:
' l how
hope you are not angry with
me.
The little six resolution called
on the Big Four to uvold any
incident which might aggravate
tne situation In Berlin. The Rus
sians blockaded the land ap
proach to the city deep in the
Soviet occupation zone1 last June
23, soon after the western powers
Introduced their reformed cur
rency into Berlin. The west in
stalled the airlift to feed and
supply the 2.000,000 or more
Germans In Western Berlin and
clamped a counter blockade on
the Russian zone of Germany.

Plan Wreckage Yields
Fortune in Gems, Watches
PRESTWICK. Scotland, Oct. 22
(P) Diamonds worth an esti
mated $40,000 to $60,000 and 16.
000 watches found In the wreck
age of a KLM airliner were Im
pounded today by Prestwick cus
toms officers until their owners
can be traced.
The four-engined Dutch con
stelletlon crashed near the air
port early yesterday morning,
killing 39 of the 40 people aboard.
The shipment of watches .was
listed on tne planes maniiesi.
The dlahionds were not. A KLM
official In London said the dia
monds apparently were shipped
by registered mail instead of as
freight, and mail would not be
manifested.
A KLM statement denied pub
lished guesses that the diamonds
were being smuggled. One of Hol
land's major industries is dia
mond cutting, and shipments of
stones leave there regularly.

vin Balrd returned Thursday

Wilson waa originally convicted
and given a life sentence. The
new trial has been under way for

Northwestern Turkey
Show Allotted $2,400
Allocation of $2,400 to the
Northwestern Turkey Show in
Roseburg from the state's cut of
parimutuel wagering on dog and
horse racing was announced to
day by the secretary of state's
office at Salem.

the Columbia River flood, which
closed the Portland Meadows race
track.

compared with $775,570 last year.
Allocations also include $2,'100 for
the Pacific Coast Turkey exhibit
at McMinnvillc.
