Appointment of

Lilientlial SetS
Off Debating
WASHINGTON. Feb. 10 -VP)
Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the
republican whip, added his voice
today to a swelling chorus of bi
partisan opposition to President
Truman's appointment of David
E. Lilienthal to head the atomic
energy commission.
He said he had no desire to
take part in the argument as 'o
whether Lilienthal is a communist
sympathizer, but asserted the post
should go to a man about whom
not a "shadow of question"
be raised.
These attacks came after Sena
tor Edwin C. Johnson (D-Colo)
told Undersecretary of State Dean
Acheson at a senate hearing he
believes release of the Acheson
Li lien thai report on the interna
tional control of atomic energy j
was "the greatest blunder in di- j
plomacy this country has ever
made."
Acheson replied that the stale 1
department originally had classi-'
fied the document secret but re
leased it after details of its con
tents which Acheron gave con
fidentially to the senate atomic
committee appeared in the new
paper. Movable Stop
Signs Slated
For Crossings
Movable stop signs will be
placed at all busy city schcil
street crossings sometime next

announced last night after a per

crossings.
Franzen said that construction
of the signs would begin imme
diately by the city shops and that
he thought that they would tem
porarily solve the school crossing
problem which has caused so
much discussion recently by
school authorities and the parents
of school children.
He said that the signs would
be placed at the crossings during
peak periods in the morning, at
noon, and in the afternoon and
would be removed by school em
ployes during the time school is
in session and after school closes.

UN Censures
Decision in
Greek Affairs
LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y., Feb. 10
7P)-The United Nations security
council ruled today that the U.N.
Balkan investigating commission
had exceeded its authority in ask
ing the Greek government last
week to postpone the execution of
11 condemned political prisoners
classed as guerrillas.
By a vote of 9 to 0. with Russia
and Poland abstaining, the council
approved a United States proposal
stating that the commission should
make such requests only in the
event there was reason to believe
that examination of condemned
persons would assist the commis
sion in its work.
Today's ruling was made at the
request of the commission, which
asked for clarification of its pow
ers after the Greek government
had protested against what it call
ed interference in the internal af
fairs of the country.
The final vote came after a
sharp clash between U. S. dele
gate Herschel V. Johnson and So
viet delegate Andrei A. Gromyko.
Gromyko sought to amend the
American resolution so that it
would have approved the action
of the commission in the Greek
case, but at the same time would
have stated that the commission
had no power to make such re
quests in the future to any of
the four governments involved in
the inquiry Greece, Albania,
Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.

Unlikely
In Crisis
By Tom Williams
LONDON, Feb. 10-(P)-Winston
Churchill charged the British la
bor government tonight with "in
competence in high places" for
its handling of the nation's coal
shortage and indu-trcl crisis
which has shut down more than
50 per cent ol the kingdom's in
dustry, but withheld "or another
day" his awaited demand for par
liamentary vote of censure.
Both Churchill and Hugh Dal
ton, laborite chancellor of the
exchequer, stated, however, dur
ing debate in the house of com
mons that neither the conserva
tives nor the laborites would con
sent to the formation of a coali
tion government.
4.000,001 Jobless
Churchill, the conserva tive
leader, begain the debate while
Prime Minister Clement R. Att
lee broadcast an island-wide ap
peal to the British public to co
operate in the dangerous coal
shortage which has limited powtr
production, brought the closing of
industrial plants in 38 of the G4
counties and shires in England
and Wales and thrown more than
4,000,000 persons out of work.
British gloom deepened when a
weather forecast stated a 36-hour
thaw had ended and that sub
freezing temperatures were due
again tomorrow.
Robert Hudson, a former minis
ter in Churchill's war-time gov
ernment, accused fuel and power
minister Emanuel Shinwell of
"dereliction of duty" in plan
ning for the present power crisis.
Mismanagement Charged
"It would have been dereliction
of duty if we had not responded
to the emergency in the situation
and acted accordingly," Shinwell
retorted.
Then Churchill condemned the
whole labor government and its
socialist principles for what he
termed its "mismanagement, bad
housekeeping, incompetence in
high places and the progressive
degeneration of our whole life."

On Forecast
While a normal forecast of
cloudy skies and occasional light
rain showers was in prospect for
Salem and most of Oregon today,
some of the rest of the nation was

Although the eastern states con
tinued cold today, temperatures
moved slowly upward over the
midwest and were quite mild over
the western mountainous states,
according to Associated Pres5.
Another cold night was in pros
pect for Florida, where tempera
tures in low ground were expect
ed to go as low as 20 to 24 in
the north and from 34 to 38 in
the south.
Winds still were strong over the
Great Lakes region and New Eng

ually, and snow flurries were con
fined to tbe east shore of the
Great Lakes.
Oregon's road report by R. H.
