Senators Frank Hilton of Port?
land and Fred S. Lamport of Sa
Krrn and Representative Pat Lon
ergan and Jack Bain of Portland,
mrmUr of a legislative Interim
committee on state institutions,
were in Salem Tuesday conferring
with "representatives of the Salem
loog-i ange planning commission
respecting a proposal to remove
the state penitentiary to a new
legation. J. N. Chamber, chair
man, C. A. McClure, engineer.
Sen. Douglas McKay and this
writer, members of the commis
sion, met with the legislators.
The planning commission has
been concerned over the fact that
the city is pretty well ringed
about with state institutional
property. Hundreds of residences
have sprung up beyond the state
holdings so the institutions are
fast becoming islands in an urban
area. What the commission is
urging is that first the peniten
tiary be removed to a rural dist
rict where it can acquire plenty
of land. The penitentiary's hold
ings of some 200 acres at the
edge of the city, not counting the
prison annex, could be told for
residential or industrial property.
The . proceeds would go quite a
ways toward relocating the in
stitution.
The idea is not new. It has
been discussed in the legislature
many times. It becomes more
urgent now as the -state has ap
propriated money for additional
investment at the present insti
tution. The planning commission
urges that the state take steps to
acquire land elsewhere and start
building a new and modern plant
Gradually the transfer could be
made so that

William H. Standley,
wartime ambassador to Russia, de
clared tonight that -Secretary
Wallace, by his speech in New
York, has sabotaged our ship of
' state he is not only guilty of dis
! loyalty to his president and the
nation, but he has given aid and
comfort to a virtual enemy, an of
fense for which, in time of war,
he could be shot."
Admiral Standley, now retired
and national commander of the
Military Order of the World Wars,
flung the accusation in a speech
before the organization's southern
California chapter.
"Mr. Wallace should no longer
be considered a trusted member
of the team," Admiral Standley
declared.
"When decision is taken, true
loyalty required that every mem

- The -admiral praised Secretary

with respect to Russia.
"Russians are orientals, be de

Despite the astronomic national

federal employment in Washing

the speaker added.
These are among reasons listed
by the junior Oregon congress
man for a "definite swing toward
republicanism in the nation."
Norblad predicted a republican
president will be elected in 1948
and said he held high hopes for
election of a republican house of
representatives in 1946.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-471'hA letter from Secretary
Wallace to President Truman urging: a aweeplng overhaul of
II. H. foreign iind military policy, junkinir of the llaruch-Arh-mon
atomic ronlrol plan and more rondlialory treatment ef
KuHaia wan made public tonight with the president making
laat-minute efforta to head it off. j
A perhaps hlsloric mixup -on high levels of government accom
panied the latest eplsle In an Internal! nal drama touthe.1 off by
Wallace's speech last Thursday decrying what be lermel ti e j.:.y
of -get tough with Russia." ,
The letter, it was explained, was written July 22 In reMo to
a presidential request for cabinet members views on i oreign po.icy.
The commerce department said mat u was -incneu irom w i.tyi
and Came into the hands of a columnist.
Wallace took the matter up with Presidential Secretary Charles
G. Ross, and they jagreedjlt probably would be a good tiem to -mike
it public inasmuch as the columnist was dlstiibuUng it n m tUd
Wallace to go ahead and mimeograph It for the, press:
Then Ross got! in touch with the president nd was VilMr. Tru
man did not wish to give his approval to tjhe release f the letter, lest
it be understood abroad that he was approving its contents. But it
was too late to head It off. I 7 ;
The commerce department did not name the columnist ho
obtained the lette- but Drew Pearson, columnist land jradio com
mentator, issued at statement saying:. I
"Unless Secretary Wallace ret acts the statement Indicating that
I 'filched from the commerce department files his Rji.in ietfer
to President Truman I. shall be compelled to bring suit grut him
for libel." V
Truman Invited Stalin for U. S. ViMit
The lelter revUled officially fr the fiiM time that Mr. Ttwrnan
previously had Invited Premier Stalin to visit the Unite! Kutcf
And it disclosed that Wallace prepaird 'a iwmcimd im !U-t
March -for Ambuxnarior W. Pede!l Smith to take to Moscow iii fl
ing trade discussions. Whether the president gave it to Smifrt
not clear. j . ' ! '
The 3600-word letter went far beyond Wallace's controvert v
ridden speech In New York of lat Thursday in espreng anx tty
over "the present friend toward conflict'' and the secretary's cor.ir
tions that drnctic changes In the Ameiican attitude toward Mja
are necesr.y to Mop it. ..!!."
In writing II,! Wallwie recalled 'to the residetil at tru outet
that "I checked wild you about this lt Thursday and you atmsf-trd
after cabinet mretmg on I inlay Iht you w uld like to have try
views." The letter was dated the following, iXmnimy.
Thus it seeme(d clear that Mr. Truman had the (opportune v to
be familiar with the views of his commerce secretary nn Vi:'.re
checked his New Yt speech with him before delivery. Mr. Trum-n
told his new conlctrnce litst Thursday that he aj. proved the wfwJe
speech anil, when ju'-kcri whether it did not conflict with ttvt t tt gn
policy line followed by Secretary of State flyriM-s, replied that it was
exac tly in line. Hijit on Saturday the chief executive est imH tr.t
his approval went! only to Wallace's light to deliver the -h.
As an upshofj of the resulting storm, Unde secretary of Mate
William L. Clayton today challenged the wisdom arid prudence it
personal foreign policy statements by government official. Me t .t
his news conference that he assumes such eethef in future iil
be cleared with the state department Later he had an unhcrlded
conference with Mr. Truman. I v
Wallace, who already has served notice that he expects to spelt
further on the sub jet t, is to seethe pretident tomorrow, j
Wallace's letter of July called for arceitaining 'from a fiesh
point of view what Russia believes to be essential to her own setur
ity," Judged "against the background of what we oui selves and tr
British have "Instated upon, and continued:
" "We should be prepared, even at the expense cf risking epi'r.ets
of appeasement, to agree to reasonable Russian guarantee of se
curity." ' . . j I I . ' '
Wallace argued that "we should not art as If we Uto felt that
we were threaTeneri in today's world," adding that "any taik m our
part about the need for strengthening our defense) further la biint
to appear hypocritical to other nations."
' ! ' ' . i
Disassociate Loan from Polities! I
.. 'i r
While critlclins extensively In general terms various po!.dr
being followed by tne state department, Wallace singled "out at lat
two for specific assault: ; ,
1. That Russia discuss her trade relations with other nation as
a precondition for obtaining an American loan. Wallace cuntendet
that the question "should be approached on economic ant romn.r
cial grounds and should t liKiiociated as much as possible in m
the current misunderstandings which flow from the basic dtrrerrrue
between their system and ours." ' I : '
2. The American stand for Internationalization cfthe Dr .la
ahd the Dardanelles. Wallace wrote that "we would Jbe hrr.f.-l
and angered by any Russian counterproposal that wrjU inioive
also the internationalization and disarming cf Sues or P.inmi ' r.l
that "to the Russians these seem to be-Identical situations."
'Wallaces criticism of the plan which Ihe admlnlstr Un f re
sented to the United Nations for controlling atomic energy .was .tie
first to be uttered by any government official. The plan was offr e.l
by Bernard M. Baruch and Mr. Truman has said several timos that
he stands squarely behind It. It Is based on a report frwn a state
department committee "Iteadcd by Undersecretary Dean Arhem-n.
The commerce secretary found "a fatal defect" in the provi.i'n
"requiring other nations to enler Into binding commitment nM to
conduct research into the military ums of atomic energy and to
disclose their uranium and thorium resources while the United
States retains the right to withhold its technical knowledge t.t
atomic energy until Ihe International control and Inspection syitem
is working to our satisfaction." '
He proposed. Instead of what he called the step-bytep" idrm
of the administration plan, "an agreement which will r-wnmit us
to disc losing information and destroying our bombs at a sp i !.-!
time or in terms of specified actions by other countries,. rather t.an
at our unfettered discretion."
