Briefly, the plan under sludy would permit as few as 150 mem bers perhaps even less to sign a discharge petition and thereby force action on a bill regardless of what the Rules Committee h is decided. Such petitions now require 218 signatures, a majority of the house membership. But up until 1935, only 115 signers could de mand and get a vote. The Republicans, however, will have 171 members In the new Congress, so they, too, would be- able to force out bills under thai plan. To get around that situation, the Democratic leaders have pro posed an additional requirement that only the chairman of a com mittee wnose bill Is being bottled up could initiate a uiscnarge peti tion. All committee chairman In the new Congress will be Democrats. Most of them are administration supporters. LOCAL NEWS Leave on Vacation Mr. and Mrs. L. G.

Wainwright Clarifies Surrender on Bataan (Continued from Page One) that I prohibit that.' "Make this plain,' Wainwright told a reporter today, " I knew that King's position was hopeless but I had positive orders from General Douglas MacArthur, then in Australia, in which Gen eral MacArthur had radioed, and these were his exact words: There must be no thought of surrender. You will attack." "I transmitted these orders to Gen. King, well knowing he could not attack. But Col. Tray wick came back to me and said 'It Is too late. Gen. King has al ready sent an officer forward with the white flag.' King Not Disobedient "General King had sent the of ficer with the white flag before he got direct orders from me to hold Bataan. He absolutely did not disobey me. I want to see no aspersion cast upon General King. He Is a gallant soldier, a brave and courageous man and a fine gentleman. It makes me very angry to hear any criticism oi mm. "My action has been approved by the president of the United States and the public and I was awarded me congressional medal of honor for it. I am not going to do anything about this matter aside from keeping the record straight. I don't intend to make any other statements un less Morton makes another state ment." Excommunication Hits Catholics in Hungary VATICAN CITY, Dec. 30. P The Vatican excommuncated to day all Roman Catholics who had anything to do with the arrest of Josef Cardinal Mlndszenty, pri mate of Hungary. The Communist - run govern ment of Hungary announced the arrest of Cardinal Mlndszenty last Monday and accused him of plot ting against the government, spy ing, treason and black mariiet money dealings. It said Minds zenty was a "snonsor of Hungar ian Fascism." Ten other church figures also are held. Excommunications cuts mem bers of the Church off from all sacraments. As a punishment, it Is surpassed in church penalties only by the pronouncement of "Anathema" an ecclesiastical curse. The decree was said to have classed all offenders in this case under "lnfamla Juris" the in famy of the law which would mean 1 he crime involved was on a level with rape, heresay and simony. Simony is illicit traffic in sacred things. New Plutonium Plant Record Peacetime Job WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 P) A new plutonlum production plant being bujltlat Hanford, Wash., will cost an estimated half bil lion dollars, chairman David E. Llllenthnl of the Atomic Energy Commission has disclosed. The project, Lilienthal told newsmen, is "the largest peace time construction job in Ameri can history." The chairman said new con struction at Hanford will cost about the same as the wartime Investment in the original plant, which was $350,000,000. Then he added: "In fact, with all the chemical processing plants, it will run more than that probably on the order of half a billion dollars." Parents of Delinquent Youths Take Lashing (Continued from Page One) enforce a curfew law requiring children under 16 to be off the streets by 11 p. m. He replied that about 40 Jtive- niles had been picked up within the past week or so but "the kids' parents gave us 40 of the worst bawling outs we ever got." Deputy Sheriff Ed Stearns cited a recent arrest oi several Juveniles speeding in a family car at night. "We took the kids into the office and teleDhoned their oar- ents," Stearns said. "But their parents wanted to know why we awakened them to tell them that. 'Send them home,' they told us."

Forrestal Demands Increased Authority (Continued from Page One) And, he added, "there are still great areas In which the view points of the services have not come together." He left no doubt he wants to be able to tell the services to get together and make his order stick. Another Forrestal recommen dation creation of the post of undersecretary who, as "alter ego" to the secretary, would be come the acting chief of the mili tary establishment In the absence of the secretary also paralleled a recommendation of the Hoover committee. Cautious on National Guard Forrestal steered away from another subject certain to arouse wrath in congress federalization of the ground National Guard. He didn't go along with the pro posal of a sneclal advisory com mittee for federal control of state military organizations. He did. however, recommend federaliza tion of the Air National Guard. The defense chief said frankly he thinks the idea of federaliza tion of the ground National Guard Is sound fro ma military stand point hut any attempt to push legislation would produce ser ious schisms." Even the proposal for combin ing the Air National Guard with the air service unrter direction of the regular Air Force may pro duce congressional disnute. The National Guard Association al ready has denounced the plan as an entering wedge lor eventual full federal control of the whole guard system. Highway Board to Spend $23 Million Next Year SALEM.

Court Upholds Oregon's Tax on Bottled Wines PORTLAND, Dec. 30 OPy Oregons law setting taxes on bottled wines has been upheld Dy a circuit court ruling. Three distributors had com plained that the tax schedule discriminated against wines bot tied in other states. Circuit Judge James W. Crawford sustained the State Liquor Controll Commis sion answer that the firms had failed to show a cause for suit. The state requires a 30-cent tax a gallon on wines bottled out of state and a ton and 15-cent-a-gallon tax on Oregon bottled wines. The court ruled that the law did not violate either the federal or state constitutions. Crawford ruled "the classifi cation works no discrimination against any one engaged in the same business in the same man ner." He added that the plaintiffs sought "to re-write the statute so as to make it more favorable to their competing business. They wish to do business on their, not Oregon's terms." Arms Cost Next Year Presents Tough Problem (Continued from Page One) ber of cookstoves? And If there are too few stoves, who gets mem : That sort of thins leads to ra- tloning and price controls. may Escape controls Mr. Truman and his Council of Economic Advisers, headed by Dr. tawin u. Nourse, have fig ured out that If total Army, Navv and Air Force appropriations are held to $15,000,000,000 next ses sion the nation even with the burden of European recovery can escape controls. Nourse has said that an in crease of three to five billion dollars would bring on the need far a complete consumer ration ing system. This is not considered a very wide margin of safety in view of troubled world conditions. It will be widened, however, if domestic consumer demand .the need for cookstoves and suchi contineus to fall off in this coun try for the next several months as it has reecntly. Given this situation, Mr. Tru man told Secretary of Defense 136 N.

Fon-estal has screwed on the $15,000,000,000 lid and kept it tight against strong pressures from some mili tary men the ones who argue that this nation's safety requires a greater armament program. Difficult Task Faced The Army, Navy and Air Force responded to Foirestal's call for their money requirements last fall, by asking sums toialing about $34,000,000,000. Forrestal then asked the joint chiels of staff to make an estimate of ex penditures in relation to world strategy. The joint chiefs the men who run the Army, Navy and Air Force figured that in terms of world conditions, arma ment needs, outposts to be manned, forces to be organized, the budget figure would run around $22,000,000,000. The Joint chiefs did not say the military establishment must have that much money; they said that was what Ideal security would cost during the 12 months begin ning next July 1. Mr. Truman and Forrestal sat tight, trimmed away $7,000,000, 000 and, so far as is known, per suaded the Joint chiefs to go along. In the light of this, Mr Tru man and his advisers are like a team of jugglers. They have to keep a lot of balls in the air and the price for dropping one might be disaster. Keeping the game going on year after year is what worries some of the diplomatic experts : here.
