Dulles Agreeable
To Appear Friday
Before Committee
WASHINGTON I Chairman
George (DGa) said Tuesday Sec
retary of State Dulles has tenta
tively agreed to appear Friday
before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee (or a thorough airing
of complaint! arising from the
lanks-for-Arahia deal.
Other members said George as
sured them at a closed committee
session Tuesday the investigation
will "cover the waterfront," in
cluding Democratic complaints of
lack of consultation on State De
partment actions.
George said Undersecretary of
State Hoover is slated to appear
with Dulles at the 2:30 p.m. closed
session.
Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn) said
Dulles would be asked not only
about the shipment of 18 tanks to
Saudi Arabia, that was embar
goed temporarily, but about his
"brink of war" interview in Life
magazine "and everything else."
And Sen. Aiken (R-Vt) said that
as he understood it "the sky's the
limit" insofar as questioning the
officials is concerned.
Senate and House Democrats had
grumbled that the Eisenhower ad
ministration had failed to consult
Congress before making major for
eign policy moves like the tank
shipment to Saudi Arabia.
Canyonville Sets
Annexation Plan

At the hearing city residents
may make remonstrances. If all
residents of the area to bo annexed

not be necessary. The matter is
subject to referendum, however.
Meanwhile, information was re
ported on the planned bond issue
for sewers. The issue will be $140,
000 in general obligation bonds and
$00,000 in Bancroft bonds. The

6. Tabled a request that the li

7. Tabled a request for $8,000 of

manager determines the city
should keep. The city will dispose
of the rest.
No report nor action was made
on dispos.il of the Hoseburg Li
brary building after tho library
moves out of it.
As might be expected, most dis
cussion centered around finances.
Mayor Ernest Barker Jr. and
Councilman Luoma took a strong
stand for no support in the form of
a levy to the county library. At
the other extreme chairman Knutit
son said he thought a levy of eiglit
tentlis of a mill was not exorbitant.
The council voted five times he

proved. The eight-tenths figure fail

lack of a second. Finally, the half

Nevertheless, ben. EUender (D-

man, expressed hope the farm bill
could be taken up late in the day
and finally acted on Friday.
But most senators considered
Ellender's estimate highly opti
mistic, since farm legislation is
one of the most politically explos
ive issues before Congress in this
national election year.
The principal farm bill fight is
exoected to be over proposed res
toration of high, fixed price sup-
norts on basic crops, which the i
administration strongly opposes,
However, there are numerous les-
ser arm provisions to oe lougm
out on the floor.
EUender, aided by minority lead
er Knowland (R-Califl, has been
waging an unsuccessful battle to
cut the various committee re
quests. The Louisiana Democrat
contends that the larger commit
tee staffs grow, the harder it is to
cut them, because he said they
create work to justify their ex
istence. Violence Flares

Bulganin Urges
Atomic Uses To
Achieve Victory
MOSCOW im Soviet Premier
Bulganin Tuesday called on his
party to use atomic energy to
achieve victory for communism.
He claimed the Soviet Union was
ahead of all countries in peaceful
uses of atomic energy and urged
his audience at the 20th Communist
Party congress to keep this lead.
Bulganin formally introduced the
sixth five-year plan and assured
the delegates that collective lead-
ership of the party would continue
" If the 19th century was the age
of steam," Bulganin said, "the 20th
century the age of electricity is
becoming the age of atomic energy
which harbors unlimited potentiali
ties for the development of pro
ductive forces.
"We Communists must fully
place the greatest discovery of the
20th centurv atomic energy at
the service of . . . the cause of
building communism. In the peace
ful uses of atomic energy our coun
try is ahead of other countries.
This lead we must keep in the
future as well."
He pledged that collective lead
ership will continue in tne soviet
Union and mere will oe no reiurn
to the "cult of theo ."
He said that observance of rules
of the Communist Central Commit
tee would "insure the party from
grave blunders and guarantee us
new victories in the building of
communism. 11
The government chief, who
shares the brightest spotlight with
the party boss. Nikita S. Khrush
chev, appeared to be reassuring
the congress that there is not now
and will not be a struggle for per
sonal power behind the Kremlin
Bulganin urged the congress to
approve the new five-year plan for
a big boost in industrial produc
tion. It appeared certain that dele
gates would vote with alacrity
for the new economic blueprint.
It calls for sharp boosts in neavy
industry and agricultural produc-
lion and development of nuclear
power stations. For example, it
asks a iv per cent increase iu new
production by 1960 and increases
ranging from 85 to 154 per cent in
basic food crops.

Water Resources
Board Will Hold
Meet Wednesday
The Douglas County Water Re
sources Advisory Committee exe
cutive board will hold its first
meeting Monday, Feb. 27 at 10
a.m. in the county courthouse.
The six district chairmen who
make up the board were selected
by the court Monday after an in
formal meeting with representa
tives from the Lower South Ump
qua District and the Cow Creek
District and Water Resources Sur
vey head Ben Irving.
Originally a full-scale meeting of
the district chairmen was slated
for yesterday, but recommenda
tions from all the districts for the
chairmanships did not arrive in
time for the appointments.
In a quick huddle during the
course of the meeting Monday,
Judge Carl Hill and Commissioner
Frank Ashley named these men to
the chairmanships:
Al Rear of Reed sport, Lower
Umpqua District; Ernest Sea ton
of Drain, Elk Creek District; Ber-,
nard Young of the Curry estate. !
North Umpqua District; Gen. Cur
tis T. Beecher (Ret.) of Winston.
Lower South Umpqua District;
Robert Kelly of Myrtle Creek, Up
per South Umpqua District; and
Harry Dayton of Riddle, Cow Creek
District.
In making the selections, the
court said it felt that not only
should all areas of the county be
represented on the board, but also
the four areas of special interests
agriculture, municipal govern
ment, industry and conservation.
Both Dayton and Gen. Beecher,
who were on hand, took exception
to this. They said the six men
should be above special interests.
As selected, the interests appeared
to be these: Young and Dayton are
farmers, Kelly and Seaton are
businessmen, Beecher is retired,
Rear is city manager and city en
gineer at Reedsport.
The court, during the course of
the meeting also named Ben Irv
ing chairman and advisor for the
board -
This board or committee will
serve as the liaison between the
subcommittees serving under it
and the State Water Resources
Board, which will conduct the
state's first water survey under the
new high court of water
Judge Hill concluded the meet
ing by urging the board to take
full charge. "We (the court) will
lend a hand, but this is a program
of the people."

predicted."
The Air Force chief of staff said
Soviet leaders are putting extra ef

result in the Soviets obtaining bet
ter missiles sooner than we," he
added.
"They have stated they expect
to have ocean-spanning weapons in
the near future," Twining said.
"Judging from their progress in
aircraft, they could make good this
combination of premise! and
boasts."

secrets had been deleted.
The Air Force leader said Sovi
et Russia now has many more
combat aircraft than the. United
States Air Force, but he credited
this country with being ahead in
quality and striking power.
He conceded that the Commu
nists have advanced both in oi'in
tity and quality of aircraft and
missiles much faster than our ex
perts believed possible as recently
as eignt montns ago.
In the missile field. Twining said
this country is making progress but
added:
"No one can guarantee at this
time that our future schedules on
these ballistics missiles will be
met."
The Air Force now is getting
plenty of manpower. Twining said.
but "We are still not getting
enough top-notch maintenance and
electronic technicians," he added.
Nuclear weapons make disper
sal and survival synonymous," he
said, "Our striking force is now
jammed on too few bases."
In the field of "new weapons."
Twining said, "over-all we have
had a head start."
But he said the Communists have
an advantage in that "they can
select weapons and put on crash
programs whereas we in the United
States must program a force capa
ble of meeting all types of air
attack."
