Resort People
Hear Explosion
LAS VEGAS, Nev. P Cit
izens of this gambling resort today
frit an explosion from the Atomic
Energy commission's new testing
grounds some 40 miles from here.
It was believed to he the second
testing detonation on the desert
base.
Many in this city believed they
saw an atomic blast.
"It really lit up the sky like
a big sunburst," said one citizen.
Ronald Gardner, circulation
manager of the Las Vegas Review
Journal said the blast "awakened
him."
Wallace Johnson, a printer, said
he saw the flash and frit the con
cussion in his Henderson home,
which is SO miles away from the
testing ground.
Literally hundreds of people saw
and heard the blast. Many o f :
them were Southern Californians
in town for the usual weekend
tourist influx.
The blast was timed at approx-i
imatcly 5:30 a.m. to fi a.m.; Pa
cific Standard time. Gambling ca-1
sin os run full blast through the
night here and many people are j
up at that hour.
Something mysterious exploded
last week on a new Nevada test-j
ing ground used by the Atomic
Energy commission.
The commission wouldn't say
what.
First word of the detonation
came yesterday from Nevada's
governor, Charles Russell. He told
inquiring reporters about it.
Then AEC officials conceded
that; ,
1. "A detonation did occur" on
the Nevada desert but wouldn't'
sny whether it was atomic or sim
ply a conventional explosion.
2. The purpose of the explosion
was to try out communications
and other "facilities at the former'
air force bombing range.
3. Full-scale tests will start,
within two weeks but their results:
"will be neither visible nor aud
ible except under certain weather
conditions."

After nearly seven months of
shooting war in Korea, what is your
feeling about United Nations?
Are you all-out for it?
Are you enthusiastic about it?
As one small individual among
150 millions, I'm sorry to have to
confess that as of now, in the pres.
ent emergency, I haven't much
faith in either the ability or the
WILL of United Nations lo handle
the menace of world communism.
I think that if we're going to
save ourselves from being 'OS

to have to do the bulk of the light
in? that will be involved ourselves
just as we've been doing the bulk
ol the lighting in Korea.
Mind you. I'm speaking AS OF
NOW . Toe situation might change.
Our friends in Kurope might come
to the conclusion that the Ameri

fiqhting in Kurope that if Kurope
is lo he saved Irom communism
they'll have to do a lot of it them

Housewives Seek
To Abolish State
Milk Control Law
SALEM AP Housewives last night argued against
the dairymen, milk producers and small retailers that ths
state milk control law should be abolished.
The ladies, angered because of recent producer de
mands for a 3-cent-a-quart price boost, demanded repeal
of the law because it lets the state fix minimum milk
prices and because it won't let stores sell milk for loss
than the home-delivered price.

The hearing, before the house food and dairy commit
tee drew more than fiOO persons, most of them housewives.
It was held in a hall on the Willamette university campus
because the capitol doesn't have a room which would hold
a crowd that large.
Top Measures
Defeated During
Week By Solons
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
SALEM fPl A lot of Port
land housewives got angry this
week when producers asked for
a milk price increase of 3 cents
a quart.
That made repeal of the milk
control law the top issue of the
week, even Ihouih there isn't a
chance that the legislature would
repeal the law.
The milk fight battle lines sua
drawn. The Portland legislators
want the law repealed, and the up
stale legislators don't.
The past weekthe third one
saw the legislature hard at work,
most of it being done in committee
sessions.
Big Mtasurtt Dcfeattd
Nothing much was passed by
either House during the week, but
some big measures were defeated.

would he 22 days shorter than the
la one.

1 Veterans, Newly-Weds
; Considered For Draft
WASHINGTON iP Th
hous armed services commit
tee reportedly it considering ex
tending the draft to some World
War II veterans and newly-weds
in the 19-to-2& age range.
Chairman Vinson D-Ga ) told
a draft law hearing yesterday
it is hard for him to understand
why a youth who served only 90
days in World War II should be
given automatic deferment
while another who didn't serve
may be drafted for 21 months.
Earlier Vinson had said the
committee would look into the
possibility of adding to the po
tential military manpower pool
young men who have married
since fighting started in Korea.
Married men and veterans are
no now being drafted.
The committee confronted
with a Defense department pro
posal for drafting of 18-year-olds,
was reported reluctant to dip
into this age group immediately.
It called on the department to
bring in suggestions Monday on
tightening the law to cut down
deferments'
The defense department to
day cut in half an earlier esti
mate that 150,000 4 F's now de
ferred from the drft could be
put into service.
The new estimate was given
to the house armed services
committee by Assistant Defense
Secretary Anna Rosenberg. She
said it reflects th views of Maj.
Gen, Lewis Hershey, selective
service director.
Mrs. Rosenberg had told Ihe
committee yesterday that 150,
000 men now deferred for phys
ical or mental reasons could be
inducted if they were screened
again and qualifications lowered.
She said today Hershey now
estimates that "by slightly lower
ing" the mental standards and
strictly enforcing existing phys
ical standards, between 75, ODD
and 80,000 of the present 800,
000 4 F's cld be put into full
active service.

Americans Lax In Guarding
Heritage, Speaker Declares
By PAUL JKN KIN'S
The American financial and political structure may
fall; our institutions of education, and of religion, may
disintegrate; our traditional concepts of freedom and lili
erty may perish; but if this should occur, it will be the
fault, not of the principles involved in each case, but be
cause of laxity upon the part of the American people in
safeguarding those priceless treasures inherited from the
founding fathers of our country.

Thursday Levels
To Be Immediate
Stabilization Line
By MAX HATX
WASHINGTON AP The government last night
ordered an immediate freeze of prices and wages.
Wages were stabilized at rates in effect last Thursday
midnight, prices at their highest levels during the period
of Dec. 15, 1950 lo Jan. 25, 1051.
Price Stabilizer Michacl'V. DiSalle said that rationing
is not planned in the near future and maybe no at ajl.
The long-expected price and wage freeze is designed as
a temporary dam against inflation, to be maintained until
permanent ceiling formulas can be drawn up.
Hug Task Of Organization
Officials turned today to the mountainous task of mak
ing it work.
The Office of Price Stabilization, lieaded hyDiSalle,
sout an S!O.S. to'the FBI and other bureaus for help in en
forcement, o .
President Truman ordered all federal agencies to pitch
in as needed. 0
One official said OPS plans a "ruthless enforcement
effort at the outset."
Oddly, at the "same time, the OPS enforcement chief
suddenly resigned. He is Rear, Admiral John H. Hoover, re
tired naval officer. His reason for quitting was not clear,
and repeated phone calls to his home got no answer. Ar
other official somewhat hesitantly quoted Hoover as say- .
ing lie had "completed-his job
organization."
Labor leaden Raise Protest
The twin freezes were welcomed by many men in Con
gress and in business but labor leaders raised a big pro
test over the wage freeze. They want flexible controls that
will permit lagging wages to catch up.
The wage stabilization board (WSBJ. which didn't order
the wage freeze and took no responsibility for it, renewed
its work today on a flexible formula to replace the freeze.
In a dramatic and turbulent setting, nearly exhausted
officials gave out the news of the freezes piecemeal. The
process lasted from 6 p. m. until nearly 1 o'clock this
morning.
The price freeze does not apply to all prices. A long
list of items, including many foods, will still have leeway
to rise.
But most prices were frozen at the highest level of the
period from Dee. 15 through Jan. 25 day before yester
day. Since verv few things have dropped in price during
that period, the general effect is to freeze Jan. 25 prices.
No Wage Exemptions Listed
Wages and salaries were simply frozen as of Jan. 25, and
no exemptions were listed in the order.
Thus, the wage board was under frightful pressure for
speed.
Officials believe that the faster the board completes its
general wage policy, the better chance of keeping labor
management peace. Board Chairman Cyrus S. Ching told
reporters, "Now we'll be forced to act as quickly as possi
ble." . .

Ching aonouncea ui wage
freeze to the press but he was
careful to point out that it was
signed by Economic Stabilizer
Eric Johnston who handed him the
order just ten minutes before the
announcement was made. DiSalle's
and Ching's agencies are techni
cally branches of Johnston's Econ
omic Stabilization agency(ESA)
and they are subject to his policy
decisions.
The price freeze is only a stop
gap, ton, and will melt gradually
away as soon as separate orders
can be prepared for various kinds
of goods.
The only separate orders now in
existence are on automobiles and
hides. But plenty more orders are
coming. Edward Phelps, assistant
puce director, said that within 30
( v , most retailers and some
wholesalers will be under new or
ders controlling their sales mar
gins. The freeze order does not apply
to farm prices of live animals
and other raw, unprocessed goods.
But certain foods, like beef, veal.
pmb. and pork, come under the
freeze lhat is, the processor the
wholesaler, and the retailer must
keep Ihe price as it is, at least
lor the lime being.
On most foods, however, prices
can be raised, all the way to thn
consumer, whenever necessary to
reflect a rise in the farmer's price.
Some examples: Bread, Eggs,
poultry, fresh vegetables, peanuts,
oranges.
A number of items are specifi
cally exempted from price con
trols by the Defense Production
net. Kor example, professional
fpes, insurance rates, freight and
1 nassenuer rates, utility rates, real
estate prices, and the prices ol
newspapers, books, magazines,
million pictures, theater tickets,
and advertising rates charged by
radio and television slations.
Rents are not controlled under
this order, but many areas of the
rounlry are still under federal or
Mate rent controls.
