Satellite Nations
Will Be Charged
With Violations
, WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 (tP)
Secretary of Slate Acheson an
nounced today that Soviet-dominated
Bulgaria, Hungary and
Romania will be charged in the
United Nations general assembly
with violation! of human rights.
The secretary emphatically re
newed at his news conference the
long-standing British American
charges of "callous disregard" of
. the human rights clauses in the
' peace treaties with the Iron Cur
tain nations.
He said the three Soviet Satel
lites have Just turned down a
proposal by the United States
that they name commissions, as
provided in the peace treaties, to
take up the dispute over charges
that they have repeatedly violat
ed the agreements. These call for
fair trials and various personal
freedoms.
- Bulgaria, Hungary, and Ro
mania, Arheson said in a state
ment which he read, "continue
to Insist that they have not vio
lated the human rights clauses
of the treaties but they are un
willing to apply the procedures
specifically provided In the trea
ties for Just such cases of dis
putes over whether or not viola
tions have taken place."

CORVALLIS. Sept. U-4JPI
Childish play resulted Tuesday In
the death from a skull fracture
of three-year-old Patricia Diane
Dodge, daughter of Mr, and Mrs.
Gordon Dodge of CorvalliR,
The child died in a local hospi
tal without regaining conscious
ness after she was struck on the
head by row boat which had
been propped against a tree. She,
her brother Gary, 5, and other
children were running u p t h e
keel of the boat when it toppled
on the victim, striking her be
hind the ear.
Hon as to what was going on at
the meeting. Present at that
meeting was the whole group of
the top leadership oi tne commu
nist party. The Information that
I received was that there were
three strangers there.
"In my opinion, this commis
sion was sent here because the
party in the United Stales finds
Itself In danger of being liquidat
ed; that is, of going under
ground." The witness testified that the
number of card-carrying Commu
nist party members in the United
States is 75,000 to 100.000, but
that about 4,000.000 people In this
country are under the commu
nist discipline."
By that, he said he meant they

controlled by the Communist party.

Denying Senators
Use Of Office
PORTLAND, Sept. 14. (JP
Two Oregon state senators un
named tried to use the Mult
nomah county sheriffs office as
a Democratic party tuna-raising
organization, Sheriff Mike Elliott
charged today.
His refusal to go along started
the movement to cancel his bond,
the sheriff said.
Elliott, under attack from a
recall move and from bond can
cellatlon recommended by state
Treasurer Walter Pearson, made
his statement in writing to the
two fortiana newspapers, tne ur
egonian and the Journal.
The newspapers carried in full
his statement which started: "As
1 promised a few days ago to
blast certain of my political op
ponents, I herewith present the
following material to both Port
land daily newspapers for pub
lication." Elliott said the two unnamed
stale senators told him the Dem
ocratic party was to raise a $200 -000
campaign fund to back Wal
ter Pearson for governor in 1950,
and his office was down for a
$60,000 quota.
"I refused and from this re
fusal stemmed the bond cancel
lation trouble that was to send
me flying east to attempt to save
my Job."
The sheriff said he then was
told someone else would get his
Job.
He added. In fairness to mr.
Pearson ... I wish to make
clear that I have no personal
knowledge that the two senators
came to me with authority from
Mr. Pearson. I do know what
they said, and that later Mr.
Pearson asked for cancellation oi
my bond."
Meadow Near Goshen
Huge Sub-Station Site
EUGENE. (IP) Near Goshen,
a 35-acre meadow Is in process
of becoming the site for the big
gest power substation in south
west Oregon. Under a $20,904
contract from Bonneville Power
adminstration construct
ion crews are levelling 3500 yards
of earth each day.
The substation is planned for
a capacity of 250.000 kilowatts.
Eugene's present station carries
only 35.500 kilowatts. BPA offi
cials say that by 1951, when the
new substation is in operation
Eugene's needs mav be so much
greater that 250.000 kilowatts
won't seem excessive.
In time, Gos'ien will service
Eugene. Springfield, coastal
areas Including Mapleton, Reeds-
port where stations are schedul
ed, and eventually Drain. It will
take care of everything, virtual
ly, from Albany to the California
line.
Pension Plan May Be
Snag In Negotiating
(Continued from page 1)
presidential fact finders' recom
mendation of a 10-cent hourly
package Increase. The board ad
vised against any wage boost.
To Take Lead
The mammoth United States
Steel Corp., biggest steel pro
ducer In the nation, again is ex
pected to take the lead in new
contract negotiations. Philip Mur
ray, president of both the CIO
and the Steelworkers, now Is
waiting for the corporation to
name the time and place for new
discussions.
Negotiators will be working
under an 11-day extension of the
strike deadline which expired at
midnight Tuesday.
The union accepted the board's
recommendations without reser
vations. That meant giving up its
drive for a fourth post-war round
of wage increases in 1949. The
union said the board's suggested
10-cent Increase in the form of
company-financed Insurance and
pension programs was good
enough.
Willing To Talk
Republic Steel Co., Jones and
Laughlin Steel Corp., and In
land Steel Co., Joined U. S. Steel
In announcing willingness to re
new negotiations. Other firms
were expected to follow suit.
A U. S. Steel spokesman, asked
If " big steel" was accepting the
board's recommendations as a
basis for a contract, replied: "I
wouldn't think so."
That led to speculation that
the corporation, the industry's
bellwether, might be planning to
fight the suggestion to nick ud
the check on pension and Insur
ance costs. Last July U. S. Steel
and other companies refused
to bargain on pensions, denied a
wage increase and offered an
Insurance plan which called for
working and employed to share
the costs 50-50.

president iTuman has asked con
gress to defer approval of a SI,
000.000,000 Army Engineer-Reclamation
Bureau program for de

The President has proposed In

and the Army Engineers.

shared with Ralph, with her baby,
everything was mixed up ' in her
mina.
As she walked down the high
way to the home of neighbors, to
seek a ride to Drain, she had the
"fixed Idea in my mind that I
had to see Sister Ann Berna
dette." Victoria testified, as she re
members now, that "something
dreadful had happened."
What restored Victoria's mem
ory, she testified yesterday and
today, was that she cut her
finger on a medicine bottle in
her cell at the county jail. With
the sight of the blood, "the dam
broke and she "saw Ralph" as
he lay on the bed the fateful
morning.
To Again Take Stand
Victoria was to be on the stand
again this afternoon. The de
fense attorneys intimated that
they would have other witnesses
testify before resting their case.
Dr. John L. Hasklns, manager
of the Roseburg Veterans hospi
tal, was in the courtroom this
morning, holding whispered con
sultations with the defense
counsel. It was expected that
he would testify, perhaps about
Victoria's condition when she
was in her "daze."
Lawyers for the state and de
fense said they probably would
be giving their arguments, sum
ming up the case, to the Jury
tomorrow.

Republican Sweep
In Pennsylvania
Held Significant
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Sept. 14.
CP) Republican forces made deep
inroads In democratic strongholds
today to put the 26th Pennsyl
vania congressional district back
in the GOP fold and hand the
Truman administration a setback.
Naval veteran John P. Saylor,
who supplied the flag raised on
Iwo Jlma, recaptured the special
election prize his party lost in
the 1948 Truman sweep.
And he did It without mention
ing in his campaign the name of
democratic Gold Star mother
Mrs. Fobert L. Coffey Sr., who
sought the congressional post va
cated by the death of her son in
a -lane crash.
Since Mrs. Col fey had received
Truman's endorsement and had
campaigned with ringing support
of the entire "fair deal" program,
her defeat was seen as a blow to
f'e administration.
The western Pennsylvania vote
provided the first test of the
president's "fair deal" program
since last year's balloting. Re
publicans and democrats alike re
garded It as a clue to the 1950
congress elections.

China Lays Plans
To Cope With
Red Offensive
CANTON, Sept. U.-ilP Na
tionalist China's top military men
laid plans today to cope with the
impending communist offensive
on the central and southern
fronts.
Army sources said high level
conferences had placed equal em
phasis on defense and offense.

any cost and attacks will be In

pervaded this refugee capital ev

Both sides also were building
up their forces in Hunan pro

where Gen. Pal Chung-Hsi, na

Reds.
From the far Interior of China,
however, came a note of dis

foreign observers that the immi

The boys are a little perturbed,
however, for lately some copy
cat in a red Piper cub has been
coming In on the mountain land
ing strip.
"I think he comes from Med
ford," Stanley pondered. "I guess
he brings the papers In."
However, there is no danger of
this interloper Jeopardizing the
Hat fields' record. As far as is
known, these Glide natives are
still the "Original Flying Loggers."
Arrested Convict
Angry; Now Won't
Waive Extradition
REDDING, Calif., Sept. 14
CP) A convict who escaped
Sept. 2 from the Utah state pri
son was on his way back volun
tarily. Picked up here by police,
he now says they'll have to come
and get him If prison authorities
want him.
"If you're gonna play like this,
I won't waive extradition," he
told Police Captain Antone Mar
tin yesterday.
The escaped convict, Allen J.
Carbis, 42, had reached his deci
sion to return while lying in a
hotel bed in Seattle Sunday. "I
started thinking about the war
den," he told newsmen there. He
said he didn't want to let Warden
Mason Hill down. So he tele
phoned the warden and said he
was starting back to prison.
The impressed warden gave
Carbis until 9 a.m. Wednesday
to come in voluntarily and did
not alert police en route. "If
you holler 'cops' around these
fellows, you never know what
might happen," he afterward explained.
