Filipinos persistently ask why
the United States has taken a

U. 8. "Mistake" Seen
Many of them say the United
States Is making a big mistake
In trying to democratize Japan
and Germany people with an in

Communism. But they quickly

of President Roosevelt, Hopkins
went to Russia to consult with the
Sovelts on their needs to hold
their front against the Germans.
Major Jordan's wartime Job was
to aid In lend-lease movement of
planes to Russia. Great tails was
a main basing point on the air
route to Russia via Alaska.
He has told of the Russians
taking out suitcase after suitcase
load of documents as well as
atomic materials. He said some
of the documents were Mate de
partment papers.
No Exports Licensed
At a news conference today.
Secretary of State Acheson said
the State department licensed no
exports of atomic materials to
Russia without prior approval
from the Manhattan project (the
wartime name for the atomic
bomb project.) Acheson also said
he knew of no state department
documents going to the Russians,
Rep. Walter (D-Pa) asked
Groves about Hopkins.
Groves said that no one at the
White House ever tried to get
maps from him "that I was aware
of' and he added that he doubted
"very seriously" lf.it was ever
done.
He commented that It was very
easy to get maps of Oak Ridge if
they did not contain aeians es
sentlal to security.
Groves said that he had never
had any contact with Harry Hop
kins. He went on emphatically:
"I do know, of course, Mr. Hop
gins knew about this project. But
as for any dealings with me or
with my subordinates, they never
occurred."
Groves said It was Impossible
for information to have reached
Hopkins from Groves subordl
nates without Groves knowing
about it.
Then he added:
"I could have gotten It from
one of those scientists who as
you know, were giving informa.
tlon to Russia."
Groves did not say who he
meant by tne reference to scien.
tists.
Wallaoe's Name Brought In
The name of former Vice Presi
dent Henry A. Wallace, as well
as that of Hopkins, has come into
the inquiry. Fulton Lewis Jr., the
radio commentator, said Wallace
had used his influence to get
atomic materials lor tne Russians.
Wallace has denied that and
asked the House committee to
hear him.
Lewis said Monday night on
the radio that Wallace overruled
Groves and was the power behind
the scenes who got uranium ship
ments for Russia. President Tru
man fired Wallace out of the
cabinet In 1946 In a disagreement
over this country's policy toward
me soviet union.
Wallace called the Lewis state
ment "sheerest fabrication" and
said It was "part of his unremit
ting effort to tarnish the name of
f ranKiin a. Koosevelt.
Lewis retorted last nleht that
Roosevelt's name hadn't come up
until Wallace mentioned it "as a
shield for himself."

Yukon Film May
Show Third Time
James Bond's motion picture,
"Yukon Wilderness Wonder
land," was shown at the Rose
burg Junior High school auditor
ium Tuesday ngiht, drawing an
overflow crowd for the second
night. The two-day engagement
in Roseburg produced the largest
audience Bond has enjoyed to
date with his new picture. Many
ueupie weie turned away Dom
Monday and Tuesday nights, due
to limited seating capacity of the
auditorium.
Because so many people were
unable to see the film, another
show may be arranged during
the Christmas holidays when
Bond will be here from Portland
with his family to spend Christ
mas at tne home oi nis Drotner,
Theo Bond.
In addition to the show at the
auditorium last night, Bond took
his pictures Tuesday afternoon
to the Roseburg Veterans hos
pital where the films were shown
to patients.
Trout Liberation Tanks
Now Under Construction
Three new large trout libera.
tlon tankers and five small auxili
ary trout liberation tanks are
now being constructed by the
Oregon State Game commission.
With the increased capacity of
tne Game commissions trout
hatcheries and the planned in.
crease In trout numbers to be
raised this year, additional equip
ment is needed to transport these
trout to the lakes and streams of
he state.
The three large tanks being
constructed are fully Insulated
with cork to maintain low water
temperatures and are also equip
ped with aeration systems con
sisting of centrifugal pumps
driven by power take-off equip
ment. This makes It possible to
transport trout lor maximum dis
tances without injury to the fish.
The tankers are similar in design
to those now In use and have a
capacity, on an average run, of
from three-hundred and fifty to
four-hundred pounds of trout. The
number carried varies with the
distance the fish are to be trans--orted
and with the size of the
fish.
The five small tanks to be con
structed are designed, so that they
may be easily mounted on small
trucks or large pick-up trucks.
The tanks- will be stationed at
some of the hatcheries and will
be used primarily for the. libera
tion of fry and for the supplying
of trout to pack strings.

mon stocks on the part of the

Lincoln said the insurance com
panies cant be blamed for the

"It Is the interplay of many

As a matter of fact, ' Lincoln
said, the life insurance companies
get only a small part of the tax
payer's Income after taxes. He
figured they got 4.1 percent of
the total In 1929 but In 1948 the
total had dropped to 3.5 percent.
Stable Policy Needed
O'Mahoney said there is a great
need to stabilize conditions for
those who put money inio new
businesses. "We want a tax
policy," he said, "that will pre
serve the open door to new enter
prise." A small business advisory com
mittee recommended yesterday
that Congress set up a government-directed
plan to Insure
private bank loans to small busi
ness. The committee said such an
insurance plan could be financed
by a one and one-naif percent
insurance premium on all loans.
The members said banks would
then be in a position to make
loans which they cannot afford
to make now.
They argued such a plan would
open the way for small business
to get much-needed capital and
there would be no risk for the
b. nks or for the government.
They said the insurance pre
miums would cover losses. It
would be patterned after the FHA
title one loan Insurance for
housing. ,
The committee also urged that
Congress revise the tax laws to
permit businessmen to fix their
