NKW YOHK m Who is tho
dark - haired beauty who twice
kissed a startled Prince in the1

The woman was described in the
New York Post as "a mysterious
Latin American s I r a n p. e r"
who twice broke through miards
to buss Prince Kainier III of Mon
aco at a high society ball Friday
lmrht.
It was the Prince's first public
date with actress Grace Kelly, his
princess-to-be.
"Miss Kelly was not nmtised,"
said the Post. It rpioted the Prince!
as saying he did not know the I

The newspaper said the woman ;
first kissed the Prince while he i
and Miss Kelly were walking to i
their box in the Waldorf-Astoria 1

"Miss Kelly Rave the woman a

tin newspaper reported. j

'lhe Prince mumbled something
inaudible to reporters nearby.
"Do you know that girl?" one of

"No 1 don't." the Prince said
tctdy.
The story continued that, as the
Prince and Miss Kelly left, three
house detectives converged on the

Telephone Service
In Douglas County
The snow h tor in which envelop
ed Duuylas County Friday left
most of the county without tele
phone service.
Contact was established with
three News-Review correspondents
in the county, who reported condi
tions in their areas.
The worst snow storm of the win
ter hit Yoncalla Friday afternoon,
reports Mrs. George Kdes of Yon
calla. She said that about five
inches or more of snow fell be
fore 9 p.m.
Electricity is now restored to
the area after being cut off for
about seven and one-half hours
Friday night. Douglas Electric Co
operative supplies power in that
region.
Most of the telephone lines
around Yoncalla re down and
business in general has been dis
rupted, Mrs. Edes reports.
Mrs. Kuby Meacham, correspon
dent at Curtin, reports at least
four inches of snow in that area,
which stopped early this morning.
All power and some phone lines
were out in the area. The lights
went out about 7 p.m. Friday
night, Mrs. Meacham said. Power
is supplied to that area by Doug
las Electric Cooperative.
Trees fell across Bear Creek
Road east of Curtin Friday night.
A power line was reported pulled
loose from the John Jacob house,
and many trees were reported
broken by the snow, according to
Mrs. Meacham.
Meanwhile, the Oakland area ap
parently survived the snow storm
with very little damage, according
to Edith Dunn.
From five to eight inches of
snow fell in the area, but power
and telephone lines reportedly suf
fered little damage.
Sketchy reports from the Myrtle
Creek area said that many trees
were broken off and across t h e
road south of Myrtle Creek and
held up buses for several hours.
In the outlying districts, the power
is still off following a power fail

Most Powerful
Hydrogen Bomb
Tests Scheduled
. wept, during 1955, statistics relcas
WASHINGTON I Congressional i ed today by Chief Stan Olson re
sources said Saturday that the t veal
Atomic Energy Commission plans
its most powerful hydrogen bomb
blast in a test this year in the
Pacific.
These sources said the record
blast will be part of a series of
tests now being organized by
Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the
Atomic Energy Commission.
Strauss ha made no formal an
nouncement on the test even to
members of the Joint Congression
al Atomic Committee but it was
learned that the demonstrations
will be in the Eniwetok testing
area in the Pacific.
There was speculation that the
explosion might be from two to
three times the size of the one
produced by the United States in
1954, the greatest ever produced.
On that basis the 1956 explosion
might be around 50 megatons in
size, or fhc equal of 50 million
tons of TNT.
In theory, a hydrogen or fusion
bomb, unlike a conventional atom
ic fission, could be developed to
almost any power desired. Prac
tically, such size would be limited
by the need for fitting it into a
transportable weapon, such as a
bomb casing for air delivery.
Under present plans more than
one island site will be used, it was
said, in order to conduct a series
of tests at a rapid rate.
The greatest man-made explo
sion so far presumably was the
hydrogen bomb detonated by the
United States at Bikini Atoll March
1, 1954. That explosion was esti

Crime Solutions
Show High Record
In City For '55
Crime solution was a feather In
the cap o( the Hoseburg Police
About 75 per cent of all crime
investigated by city police during
the year ended up with a 'solved"
tag. The percentage is consider
ably above the national average.
Olson said there were 116 cases
of major crime (against the per
son, robbery, burglary, etc.), and
81 were solved. Forty-two were
cleared by arrests and 39 by other
factors.
In lesser crime (from dunken
ness to bad checks), 977 cases
were reported, and 781 were clear
ed, 648 by, arrests. The 1954 fig
ures were 110 for major crimes
and 647 for the other class. The
number of lesser crimes jumped
up only on paper. .More complete
records are now being kept, and
such items as curfew violation and
probation violation were not in
cluded in 1954.
In 1954, only about 40 per cent
of the major crimes were cleared
by year's end.
Drunkenness cases were down
last year to 451. In 1954 there were
513.
Overall, there was no apprecia
ble increase in crime in Hoseburg
during the year, despite the city's
growth in population.

Copy Reader Says He Was
Member Of Communist Cell,
But Quit Red Party In 1948
By JOHN CHADWICK
WASHINGTON Ml A copy
reader now employed by the New
York Times told investigating sen
ators Friday he had belonged to
a Communist cell at The New York
Herald-Tribune before he quit the
party in 1948.
The testimony was given to the
Senate Internal Security subcom
mittee by Alden Whitman who said
he had been a copyreader for The
Times for "a few days more than
4V4 years," had worked for The
Herald-Tribune from 1943 to 1951,
and for The Buffalo Evening News
in a period covering "somewhat
more than a year" starting in. 1941.
Robert Sheiton, a copy editor for
The New York Times, preceded
Whitman to the witness chair and
declined to say whether he is a
Communist. Sheiton refused also
to plead the Fifth Amendment. He
contended the question violated his
rights under the First Amendment
of the Constitution, and also
threatened freedom of the press.
By calling him before it. Sheiton
contended, the subcommittee "is
nudging the end of my copy pen
cil, it is peeking over my shoulder
as I work. . . is engendering the
fear that soon it will be looking
into news rooms all over the coun
try." Whitman said he was a mem
ber of the Communist Party from
1935 until 1948. but he steadfastly
refused to name party associates.
He said he was unwilling to be an
informer."
Whitman testified he had be
longed to a Communist cell on The
Herald-Tribune only after the sub
committee brought out that he had
acknowledged this in prior closed
dnor testimony Ha said it was a
Chairman Eastland (D - Miss)
asked him if the cell "is still
existence, to your knowledge?"
i "1 have no knowledce. I don't
know," Whitman replied.
j Whitman testified that he had
nist cells in New York City, be-

Herald-Tribune. He also said he
had been a member of Communist
cells in Bridgeport, Conn., and
Buffalo.
Neither of the cells in Buffalo
and Bridgeport was composed of
newspaper employes, he said.
Eastland asked Whitman if any
members of the cell to which he
said he had belonged at The Herald
Tribune are still employed by the
newspaper.
Whitman declined to answer.
Whitman did not invoke the pro
tection of the Fifth Amendment
against possible self-incrimination.
Rather, he maintained that as a
private citizen and as a newspa
perman, "there are limitations on
the power of this subcommittee to
require testimony."
And, Whitman told the senators:
"I have never been a member of
a conspiracy to overthrow the gov
ernment." Friday was the third and final
day of the current series of public
hearings in the subcommittee's
hunt for Red influences in the
press and other media. Eastland
said there will be other hearings
later.

on there, the run-off will be slowed
and floods averted. But a heavy
runo'ff could mean new disaster.
The rains, extending up to Brit
ish Columbia, touched off new
landslides of soggy earth from
Southern Oreogn up to the Puget
Sound area of Washington.
The Coast Highway was blocked
again by a landslide Friday night
six miles south of Coquille. Another
slide blocked the Great Northern
Railway north of Seattle tempo
rarily. Repairs were made Friday
night.
Wet snow fell on the Coast Range
and seven miles of telephone lino
collapsed between Portland and
Tillamook, Ore. Seven inches of
snow tied up traffic at Roseburg,
where the temperature remained
above freezing and a quick runoff
was expected.
