Direct Negotiations With Reds On Hydrogen Bomb Not Contemplated By President WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. President Truman Thursday left wide open the possibility that he will order production of a hydrogen superbomb. With the United States reported to be going ahead full blast on preliminary work leading up to production, Mr. Truman was asked at his news conference: ' "Do you have under consideration production of a hydrogen bomb?" The President replied that he could not comment on that. Mr. Truman also told inquirers that he is not considering direct negotiation's with the Russians on the hydrogen bomb. Rep. Eaton (N ), ranking re publican on the House Foreign Affairs committee, said he is vigorously opposed to production of an H-bomb. "If any civilization Is to be left," he told a reporter, "then the United States, Russia and all the nations of the world should get togefher and put a stop to It." Saying the devastating effect of such a bomb possibly could wipe out life for 100 miles or more, he added: "It looks to me like the human race Is bent on destroying itself." Truman Has Final Say At least some top officials In the Truman administration be lieve that the bomb will eventual ly V into production. President Truman himself will presumably LOOK ms SIGN PA3NTINO ' DECORATINO I CONTACTORS!

The eovernment s present pol icy on the hydrogen bomb, esti mated up to l.uuo times as power ful as uranium bombs now being made, calls for the assembling of all possible facts. On the basis of these facts the final decision probably will be made In a few weeks. The state department and other administration agencies are en gaged in an intensive review of tne governments policies on in ternational control of atomic energy. . One of the key questions in this study is whether the impending creation of a terrific new explo sive provides the take-off point ior a new approacn to nussia on international control. Such an approach if made almost certainly will take one of three forms: 1. Putting out secret feelers to see whether the Russians have any serious desire at this time to try to break the four-year-old deadlock on this Issue in the United Nations. 2. Sending a special envoy from President Truman to Prime Minister Stalin or instructing the American ambassador in Moscow to go directly to Stalin. 3. Havin either the president or Secretary of State Acheson make a major speech in tho United Nations, appealing for Russian cooperation and warn ing of the dangers of continuing an unrestricted armaments race In increasingly destructive weapons.

Knotty Issue In Hamburg By Hansjoerg Flachmeyer HAMBURG, UP) Do you eat Ice cream, or do you drink It? You might think the answer is you eat it, unless it has melt ed and you are scooping up the last drops from the bottom of the dish. But here In Hamburg it Is not so easy as that. The best legal brains of the city are wrestling with the problem and there are 1.000,000 deutche marks (about $250,000) at stake. Two years ago the city fathers decided that ice cream was a drink and thus liable to the bev erage tax. Nobody bothered much about It then because Ger man money was almost worth less and there wasn't much ice cream anyway. But now that the reformed cur rency has real value, people are counting every pfennig. Once cream dealer found he was paying tax on a "drink" that most people ate. He rallied his fellow tradesmen and they took the matter through two courts. Both ruled that ice cream was something people ate. Moreover, the new Hamburg law had vio lated an unrepealed reichslaw (State law). The city council should have voted twice once to repeal the old law and once to approve the new. The city council Is going to remedy that omission by voting on the matter again. They also are taking the case to a third and higher court. The million marks In-the dis pute are the taxes already col lected by the city on ice cream sales. The hard-up city treasury is reluctant to part with them. Anyhow, argues the treasury, who would get the money back, if the tax finally is ruled illegal? All the people who bought ice cream In the last two vears? Im. possible, says the treasury. The iuc cream aeaiers .' mat would be unfair, the treasury contends, since they did not Dav the monev in the first place, but merely col lected, it from the customers. .;: The taxpayers just hope the wnoie matter is settled by the time warm weatner comes back, By WILLIAM PEART i OKLAHOMA CITY IIP) Boot leggers and the night club "take it off shimmy ladies tnose are the folks a growing group of Ok lahoma county parsons figure shouldn't be in business. The raiders from the pulpits already have touched five whisky sellers In constitutionally dry Ok lahoma. Now, they say, the strippers will get a generous helping of tneir wratn. ineir doming, iney add, isn't in the proper propor tion to the skin which shows. Raid Staged . A trio of preachers got togetner with a constable Saturday night, raided a couple of rum-runners, and had a look-in on some night clubs. More than twice that many did the raiding Monday afternoon. And about that same number did Tuesday night's rerun. In all, about aw pints oi'ine hard stuff have been seized. The girlie-girlie shows came in for some real frowns. The raids have been in the city and the county; The scorned shows are in both places, too. Said the Rev. George Mone, pastor of the First Baptist church in nearby Bethany: Pastor's statement: Talk about sex crimes, it s no wonder we have them when peo ple see what they do in some of our night clubs. I know that in some Dlaces the entertainers strip down to vir tually nothing, while a master of ceremonies does his best to make it look attractive to the young ladies of the audience." Douglas Fir Output Of N. W. Mills Upped In 1949 PORTLAND, OP) Douglas Fir sawmills in Washington and Oregon Increased production during 1949. It was the fourth straight year of rising output. The West Coast Lumbermen's association reported that output was 9,590,000.000 board feet. This was about 190,000,000 above the 1948 level. Shipments of Douglas fir, west coast hemlock, western red cedar and Sitka spruce totaled 9.868,000,000 board feet last year. This was also above the prev ious year. ers from the Atomic Energy com mission side of the discussions have reportedly urged Mr. Tru. man to make another try for agreement witn tne Kussiang De- fore giving a go-ahead signal on super bomb production. This does not appear to be the state department's idea. State de partment leaders, apparently as sume that if the arms race con tinues unrestricted the United States will have no choice but to make the most powerful weapons it can. This also is said to be the view in the defense department. The real question, as seen by Secretary Acheson's aides, is whether the total state of the world today makes an interna tional agreement, including Rus- sia, any more possible now than it nas oecn in tne past. Oklahoma Parsons 'Declare War1 On Bootleggers And Shimmy Gals Stone said there isn't a real organization of raiders. Yet, that is. "Pastors have been hollering since Sunday that they want to come in with us," said the Rev. H. C. Emmert, minister at the Crown Heights Church of the Na zarene here. "They're ready to go." More Raids Promised Thomas Epplcr, 28 -year -old pastor at the Church of the Naa rene in Britton, promised repeat ed raids. times a week until we get some "We'll raid them three and four officers who'll stop all this," he said. . . But Sheriff Newt Burns is in clined to scoff at the preacher- led doings. Not about tne par sons, put aoout tne constaDies who go along to make it legal. He reckons It's possime mey haven't forgotten . the coming elections. "Things," he said. Just are beginning to warm up for the political races this spring." Sutherlin By MRS.

UP) A $32,000,000 plant once only a dream of !outnern newspaper publishers today is providing the first new domestic source of newsprint in more than a dec ade. The Coosa River Newsprint company's huge plant went into production yesterday, three months ahead of schedule. It is designed . tn turn out 300 tons daily, or more than 100,000 tons a year, at peak production. Stock in the company is held by 128 newspapers throughout the nation, and 119 newspapers have contracts for purchase of its products. The plant was designed, built and will be operated by the Kimberly-Clark Corp., of Neenah, Wis. It is located on 710 acres which were once part of the huge Chiidersburg Ordnance works during World War IL The company has a 40 -year lease on an $8,000,000 power plant at the ordnance works, and also has a lease on the water filter plant used in powder-making op erations. About 4,400,000 tons of news print were used In the United States in 1949. Of this about 87 percent came from Canada. Thus, at peak production, the Coosa plant would turn out about 2 percent of U.S. requirements. U.S. mills produced 880,000 tons of newsprint during 1949. This would make the new plant's peal; output about 11 percent of all production In the United Stales. Lt. Gen. Wedemeyer Dated In Oregon Anent Defense SALEM IP) Lt. Gen. Albert C.

Distributers of Hancock Petroltum Products For Douglas County SOME VITAL SUGGESTIONS MfUl AiF TO ITU When Electric Power Fails During severe winters with accompanying storms it Is inevitable that electric power will be interrupted occasionally. When this happens, here are some suggestions what YOU can do: 1. Turn Off All Electric Appliances and Lights Except One Bulb. Do not leave electric appliances and lights connected, it does no good and when electric power is restored the tremendous "load," the in stant demand of thousands of motors and lights for power creates an excessive drain for a few moments. After power has been on a few minutes it's all right to re-connect appliances. 2. Be Sure to Disconnect your Refrigerator, Electric yater Pump and Other Electric Motors. -: ; " When power has been restored after temporary failure the voltage is us ually low, which COULD be harmful to your refrigerator motor and oth er electric motors. Be sure to disconnect all electric motor powered units until power has been on for a while and higher voltage is resumed. 3. Do Not Call the Power Company. Telephoning your power company cannot help officials know the power is cut off and your phone call ties up telephone lines urgently - needed for other purposes. 4. If You Have a Private Electric Water System and if the power Is off for some time it's a good idea to drain stand ing water from exposed pipes. Because the normal flow of water in the pipes is stopped it i more subject to freezing. 5. Do Not Open Your Home Freezer. Maintain as low a temperature as possible in your home freezer by net opening the lid during power failure. Exposing frozen foods to warm air when refrigeration Is cut off makes them susceptible to thawing and in creases the danger of spoilage. 6. Do Not Feel Neglected If Power Is Restored in One Area and Not in Your Neighborhood. When electric power Is restored some areas receive service first. Don't worry, the chances are your neighborhood will receive electric service soon. 7. Don't Worry. : power tails your power company will restore service as soon as humanly possible. Hospitals and vital indui- tries, if not equipped with emergency power plants, will receive service first so the community will not suffer.
