Nehru Assails NATO At Bandung Conference (Continued from Page One) leading us to the brink of war." The Indian leader contended that by the United Stales, Britain and the 14-nation organization headed by the United States, Britain and France is "one of the most power fid protectors of colonialism, though H was created for self de tente." "It Is an Intolerable humilia tion," he said, "for any nation of Asia or Africa to degrade itscll by becoming a camp follower of one or the other of the powers blocs. . . We will not join either bloc because that means losing our identity." Nehru spoke strongly in favor of coexistence. "The only way to bring peace into Hie world is to reduce the area of tension through coexist: ence," he said. The conference ran into its first , big deadlock Friday in a bitter argument over charges of "Com munist colonialism'." A subcommittee, after arguing on the Communist issue for more than two hours, finally adjourned until Saturday. The issue at stake was a move by non-Communist powers to put the conference on record as condemning "Subvers ion" as well as old style colon ialism. Red China Premier Chou En-Lai earlier had answered a Ceylonese anti-Communist blast with an ap peal for harmony at the 29 nation conference. His tactic, ordinarily preferred among Asians to a spirit ed answer, failed to halt the de veloping deadlock. The meeting of the nine-member subcommittee was closed to the public but delegates said the dead lock came over the resolution pro posed by a group of nations head' ed by Iran, which, wanted con. demnatlon of colonialism "in any iorm. unou reportedly opposed any mention wnion -might be inter preted as an attack on commu nism. His stand was backed by India. "It looks very much like we may have to pass over the resolution on colonialism," one delegate said. "That will put us on the spot because the big issue of this con ference Is colonialism." The resolution, proposed by Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Li beria, Pakistan, Turkey and The Philippines, did not mention com munism by name.

Morse (D-Ore) said today the Eisenhow er administration is "trying to save face" in the Formosa Strait situation by "eliminating its im plied commitment" to defend the Quemoy and Matiu Islands. Morse said he will seek a vote in the Foreign Relations Commit tee next week on his resolutions to limit to Formosa and the nearby Pescadores authority given Presi dent Eisenhower in the defend Formosa resolution passed over whelmingly by Congress in Jan uary. The committee appeared certain to reject the Morse limitation. The Formosa resolution, which Morse opposed, gave Eisenhower full backing to use U.S. military force to defend "closely related positions" deemed essential to the defense of Formosa. That would cover the coastal islands. Sen. Knowland (R-Calif) loosed a thinly veiled swipe at Secretary of State Dulles last night in re iterating his contention that Que moy and Matsu must be held. Dulles has said this country would not defend the coastal is lands as such but would watch closely for any Red Chinese at tempt to use them as stepping stones to an attack on Formosa.

The committee amended the cigarette bill, however, to elimi nate tax stamps, and added a 20 per cent tax on all other forms of tobacco.

If the people refer the income tax bill, then the cigarette tax also would go on the ballot. The com mittee approved this action, 4-3, Defeat of the income tax bv the people automatically would result in a state properly tax of 9 mills, or $15,000,000 a year. Committee members said they don't know whether the Senate will approve the income tax boost. They believe it might be killed it enough senators insist on a sales tax.

The bill provides that local inter ests put up some 273 million dol lars to help pay for the 310 mil lion dollar hydroelectric project at John Day. For this they would re ceive 50-year contracts giving them a share of the dam's power in proportion to what the dam cost. The propos-al brought an immed iate blast from Sen.

Hospital News Utility Districts Assn. that John Day Dam be started as a federal project. Neuberger said in the nation's capital while he had not . seen Coon's bill be felt the entire "partnership" ideas is "adverse for the general public." "It surrenders the revenue-producing features of cur power proj ects, but reta'ns for the people such deadweight as fish ladders and flood gates," he told a news man. The Washington PUD Assn. di rectors, meeting wiih the North west Public Power Arwi, at Eu gene, Ore., accused the federal government of "shirking its part- neren'p responsibilities. A resolution adopted a few hours before the Coon b":!l reached Con gress said John Day should he a federal project, and declared: ". . . The federal partner is standing- Idly by on new starts while public agencies and private companies are doing their part in developing projects within their ability. " In introducing the bill, Coon said Portland General Electric, Pacific Power 4 Light and Washington Water Power Co.'s, all private util ities and the municipally owned Eugene Water and Eleetrc Board had shown interest in the John Day plan and were willing to pro ceed. A similar bill introduced in the last session of Congress died in committee.

Kane St. Roseburg, Oregon Phone OR 3-4453 Cory Happy At Decision Reversing Conviction (Continutd from Page One) triet attorney's discretion as' to whether the act could be invoked against a convict on a crime of non-violent nature. Lurid History Cory's history in the past 29 months has been lurid. In November 1952, he was ar rested and charged with a safe burglary in a local fraternal club. He was tried on the charge in February 1933 and acquitted by a circuit court jury. Just six months later, he was in jail again. This time it was after he allegdly kidnaped the wife of Ihe attorney who had defended him in the burglary trial Mrs. William H. Jones. Jones filed five charges against him. Four were dismissed im a district court hearing. The -fifth, possession of - a firearm, stood and Cory was bound over to the grand jury, which indicted bim on the charge. He was tried in the county in December 1953, convicted and sent to the state prison for four years. Habitual Criminal Charge Then Dist. Atty. Robert M. Stults filed an information charg ing him with being an habitual criminal. After three months in the pen itentiary, Cory was returned td stand trial on Stults' charge. He was convicted again. The 4-year sentence was set aside and Cir curt Judge William G. East, Eu (,3ne, meted the 15-year term just .eversea in saiem. The habitual charge came about because of three convictions be fore the one on the gun posses sion charge. Specifically, they were three years in a federal re formatory for a postoffice burg lary in Oklahoma, two years in a federal reformatory for another postoffice burglary in Texas and six months to 10 years for attempt ed burglary In Utah. Records show other convictions. Law enforcement men say he has spent .ibout 18 years of his life in prison. The Supreme Court opinion was written by Justice Earl C. Latour elte. It upheld the conviction on the gun-bearing charge, which Cory still claims came only after he had acted as agent of Mrs. Jones in the attempted sale of two .22-caliber revolvers. That's why lie claims a "raw deal." The particular charge was filed by Stults. Jones had filed, a complaint charging the same crime, but different circumstanc es. But as Cory said Thursday aft ernoon: "I know I'm not an an gel." He'll be delivered to the peniten tiary by a deputy sneriff some time this week. .
