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. '

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.

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.

"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.

tracts call for transmission of
207,000 kilowatts from the Grant

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.

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.
