A Switch In Our Favor Russian Premier Khrushchev's rejection of a summit conference within the United Nations Security Council is welcome news to the ears of most Western leaders. It reads to them like a telegram from an unwanted, unloved cousin saying he is canceling his plans to de scend upon your doorstep for a two-week stay with his eight children and his menagerie of pets. As observed by James Reston of the N. Y. Times, never has a "no" from Moscow sounded so good to most officials of this country and the West. The United States never really wanted the meeting within the Security Council fold. It feared that Khrush chev in that setting would be able to confine the dis cussions to Communist assault upon America and Brit ish troop landings in the Middle East as an alleged ag .gression. Khrushchev's sudden switch to'a demand for a spe cial session of the United Nations General Assembly - was readily accepted by the United States and Britain in the conviction that in this larger framework the West can broaden the debate to include the case against indirect aggression in the Middle East by the Soviet Union and President Nasser of the United Arab Re public. In the flurry of messages exchanged between West and East on the issue of a summit meeting within the Security Council, it appeared for a time that each side was simply jockeying for maximum diplomatic and propaganda advantage. But Khrushchev's latest is a clear turnabout. The big question is why he has done it. - There is a considerable body of expert opinion which believes that his switch is directly related to his recent trip to see Red China's Mao Tse-Tung in Peiping;, and that Mao was a prime influence in the change. Some experts on communism believe that Mao and his associates are now the intellectual leaders of Stal inist communism in the world and that in this role they are repeatedly pushing Khrushchev away from more moderate, conciliatory policies. . One, guch. e$peit,tNEA correspondent- Leon-Dennen, has pointed out that this 'is the third , switch in four months by Khrushchev which can be tied closely to in fluences exerted from Peiping. Tile other two were the previous abandonment of a broader summit fleeting last spring and Russia's rup ture of close links with Yugoslavia's Marshall Tito after, earlier publicly admitting error in assailing him. What all this may mean for the future course of poli cy in Moscow is still far from clear. But it is plain enough that at this critical moment it has played into 1 the hands of America and her Western friends. ' mm NEA Strvict, Inc. Indonesia Observes 13th Birthday By ROBERT MONAHAN United Press International JAKARTA' UPI Indonesia marks its 13th birthday as an in dependent Republic Sunday and moves into a new period which its leaders hope will bring peace and prosperity to Southeast Asia's big gest nation. On August 17, 1945, two dedi cated nationalists stood at atten tion outside a private home in Ja karta and watched while the Re public's red and white flag was hoisted ceremoniously for the first time. The two men were Sukarno, a Dutch-educated civil engineer, and Mohammad Hatta, a scholar ly economist. Sukarno (like many Indonesi ans, he has only one name) has served as the republic's president for the entire 13 troubled years of independence. Hatta resigned form the vice presidency in December. 11)56, and has since declined repeatedly to rejoin the government. He re mains, however, with Sukarno, a principal hero of the independence movement. Successfully Quell Rebellion The last year, without question, has been the most crucial' and trying period the young nation has experienced. A campaign to wrest control of western New Guinea from the Dutch focused, sometimes pain fully, the spotlight of world atten tion on Indonesia and brought a fresh wave of economic problems as well. The campaign against the Dutch was followed by a rebeljion in the outer islands which had chafed for years over grievances with the central government. The untested Indonesian armed PGE Signs 50-Year Power Contract With Bonneville Another Jab Of The Spur Bertrand Russell, the English philosopher -who just attained 86, has made a lifetime specialty of provoca tive, rebellious thinking. ' He obviously could see no lasting satisfaction for himself in the role of rationalizer, smoother of troub led waters, apologist for the dominant strands of Wes tern thought. He made himself a burr, a thorn, a nettle. On his birthday, for instance, he said he is accepted as a respected scholar today because "if you stick to any opinion long enough,, it becomes respectable." If you analyze that notion closely, you can see it bears close! resemblance to the old Hitlerian idea of the "big lie." That is, if you repeat anything often enough, even the most monumental falsehood, people finally will believe it and accept it. Side Glances , 9 ) wet wwa.mt "Firt left try on lomethinj; wa can't affordl" PORTLAND (UPI) Portland General Electric Company today signed two 50-year contracts with the Bonneville Power Administra tion for "wheeling" 331,000 kilo watts of power from Priest Rapids and Rocky Reach hydroelectric projects in central Washington to PGE load centers. PGE had previously contracted to buy part of the power gener ated at the two projects. Provisions of the long-term con tracts call for transmission of 207,000 kilowatts from the Grant County PUD's Priest Rapids proj- Lunar Rocket Shot Set WASHINGTON (UPI) In formed sources in Washington said today that a decision has been reached to try to fire America s first lunar probe rocket at Cape Canaveral, Fla., early Sunday morning if conditions are favorable. The sources said the 100-foot, three- stage rocket carrying an electronics instrument package to photograph the moon could be blasted off as early as 5 a.m., p. d.t. Sunday. If conditions are unfavorable, the firing will he postponed until similar time Monday. Firing early Tuesday is also a possibility. But if conditions are unfavorable on all three days, the sources said the lunar blast-off probably will be postponed into mid-September. The huge rocket carries a 60- pound "payload, including 30 pounds of instruments and radio transmitters for sending data back to earth. Officials have emphasized that even if the rocket fires properly, they regard the chances of it reaching the vicinity of the moon on the first try as only around in 10. One of the instruments is a photo-cell, TV-type "scanning de vice" for taking a picturff of the far side of the moon. The Dicture can be transmitted to earth by radio, but ,the De fense Department has emphasized that it does not expect the Instru men package to return toward the earth. The lunar package, after cir cling the moon, will probably shoot off and become lost in space. cct and 124,000 kilowatts from the Chelan County PUD's Rocky Reach project to the Oregon PGE system. Power from the two dams will enter BPA's regional high voltage grid in central Washington at the Administration's Midway and Co lumbia substations and a new sub station to be constructed at Maple Valley. Deliveries in northwest Oregon to PGE under the wheel ing contract will be made througl BPA's St. Johns, Keeler and Troutdale substations, and from BPA's Big Eddy Substation to the company s new . McLoughlin sub station now under construction east of Oregon City. 1 PGE President Frank M. War ren Jr. said the contracts repre sent "a co-operative effort on the part of PGE and BPA to inte grate new power projects with the Northwest Power Pool and take full advantage of the interconnect ed transmission systems." The Priest Rapids project, ca pable of producing 788,500 kilo watts, is scheduled to go on line" next summer, with comple tion in 1961. Completion of the 7,772,000 kilowatt Rock Reach plant is scheduled for 1962 with the first generation going "on line" in 1001. Wheeling distances for the PGE deliveries will 'be about 160 and 188 air line miles from the respective dams. Elgin Clinic Set.

RECEIVES CITIZENSHIP KUALA LUMPUR, Malaya (UPI) Shigeru Yanu, 40, a former Japanese air force pilot who lived undetected for 12 years in Malayan villages, has been granted Malayan citizenship, it was disclosed today. Yanu had changed his name, married, raised a family, become a Moslem and learned to speak the national language fluently. forces succeeded brilliantly in mil itarily crushing the rebellion. But the main offensives and the mop ping up war that continues in the jungles of Sumatra and the Cele bes have put a further strain on the economy. The Republic's leaders acknowl edge that the country is faced with problems that would lax se verely even the most stable of na tions. But they are confident these problems can be overcome .with the same spirit and determination that gained the island nation of 82 million persons its independence from The Netherlands. Period of Survivals President Sukarno frequently speaks of the period of survival any young nation must go through. The next stop, he says, is creation of "a just and prosper ous "society." Economic troubles aside. Indo nesia taltes pride in gains made since independence in the fields of health, education and foreign af fairs. Medical workers; assisted by in ternational organizations, arc waging a continuous battle against diseases like malaria and yaws, The results have been encourag ing. The nation can boast that now well more than half its population is literate, while under Dutch rule only a bare handful of Indonesi ans, could read or write in Ilia Latin alphabet. Indonesia is highly conscious of its place in the Afro-Asian family of nations. In 1055 Indonesia spon sored a historic, unprecedented conference at Bandung, West Java, where leaders of these na tions assembled to talk about common problems and aspira tions. The republic since its inception has hewed to what its leaders call an active, independent policy steering clear of alignment with any major power bloc. The leaders say this policy met its crucial test during the last year when Indonesia was thrust into the world spotlight and sub jected to pressures from all sides. Rickover Overlooked; Navy Sorry WASHINGTON (UPI) The Navy apologized to Rear Adm. Hyman G. Rickover for falling to Invite him to last week's White House ceremony celebrating the historic trip under the North Pole by his brainchild the atomic powered submarine Nautilus. Navy Secretary Thomas S. Gates said in a statement Tues day that top Navy officials over looked Rickover in their excite ment over the s u b m a r i n c's achievement. "In our preoccupation with the operational significance of a unit of our fleet," Gates said, "we failed to include Adm. Rickover, a man whose devotion and scien tific skill had so uniquely con tributed to the creation of the ship which made the cruise." Rickover, known as the "father of the nuclear submarine, was omitted from the list of top Navy officers invited to witness the White House ceremony in which Prsidcnt Eisenhower pinned the Legion of Merit on Cmdr. William R. Anderson, skipper of the Naut ilus. Rickover's congressional suppor ters protested that it was a de liberate snub. (airs vvrntuin c?
