.Marshall World Commies Foir Latin GSevolift By Joseph F. MrEvey BOGOTA. April 12-,)-SccreUry ot Slate Marshall blamed in ternational communism today for the unsuccessful Bogota revolu tion. Marshall first made his statement to other delegates attending the Interamerican conference and later repeated it for publication. "This situation," Marshall said, "must not be judged on a local CFLP I akoH farm imnlrment deal- er the other day how his business Is this year. He reported it as very good. Farmers need and want power tools, particularly tractors end the Ullage tools that work with tractors. I asked him if most sale are made for cash or on con tract. He replied that generally they are for cash. This means sim ply that the farmer who puts up $2,500 in cash for a tractor has accumulated that much m profits from past operations, but instead of spending that money for some thing he can consume immediately he is putting it back into his busi ness of farmirhl. either to increase his production, lower his costs or to maintain his equipment. Thu easily understood transac tion the purchase of a farm trac tor is a miniature of the way our economic system operates. The same three motives, alone or in concert, inspire investment in bus iness enterprises. The money to make the investment may come from the individual's "r company's own post profits, or from the capi tal of others who are willing either to loan their money or to share In the ownership by purchase of capital stock. This provision of capital for in vestment is one of the acute prob lems of today. The country has awakened to the f.ict that its capi tal plant deteriorated gre.itly dur ing the ten years of depression and four years of war.

"It is the same definite pattern as occurrences which provoked strikes in France and Italy and that is endeavoring to prejudice the situation fei Italy where elec- tions will be held on April 18. In action we take here regarding the j present situation, we must keep I clearly in mind the fact that this is a world affair - - not merely Colombian or Latin American." : To Stay In Bogota Marshall thus became the first delegate outside the Colombian government to publicly attribute the revolution to world commun ism and indirectly to Moscow. A determination of delegates to remain here despite the revolt which broke out last Friday is ex pected to be ratified formally to morrow . It was announced that the only personnel from the United States delegation which Marshall has permitted to leave this stricken city are '.ess essential members of the secretarial staff, in order to limit the strain on the scanty food supply. Colombian -Soviet Break Meanwhile the Colombian gov ernment has announced that it had broken diplomatic relations with soviet Russia. Two Russians described as com munist agents were among per sons taken into custody on char ges of having stirred the riots which laid waste large parts of Bo gota and caused the deaths of 300 persons. Colombia has no representative in Moscow at the present time. More American planes arrived meanwhile today with army ra tions for the United States dele gation. Bogota is still physically paral yzed. There are still many rebel sni pers holding out. Ocean Pounds Runaway Ship At Newport NEWPORT Ore.. April 12-0F-A war surplus converted tanker was being pounded by the Pacific on a reef near here tonight after breaking from a moorage and drifting through a narrow harbor channel to the ocean. The Yaquina Bay Dock . and Dredging company and coast guardsmen said the vessel is be yond salvaging. It is resting on the bottom about a half mile north of the harbor entrance. The 353-foot steel and concrete ship pulled a tug and barge along when it drifted a mile and a half to sea. The tug and barge were freed earlier today and towed back to harbor. Officials of the port of Newport commission said the tanker was to have been used as a permanent breakwater. It was brought here recently from a surplus fleet lay up group at Astoria. The tanker was built as the Jo seph Aspdin in 1944 at Tampa, Fla., for the war shipping admin istration. Harbor officials said the freight er may last about two days under the s pounding the reef.

Defense Secretary For restal said today. At the same time he said that pushbutton warfare is still a dream for the future, and that total war fare still depends on manpower "not in the mass, but diffused through thousands of specialties." Forrestal testified before the house armed forces committee. It is considering a hotly-argued bill to draft men 19 through 25 years of age. One argument of its critics is that atomic and other scientific strides have made the old concept of land armies out of date. One sent nee of the secretary's prepared statement read: "The United States possesses the knowl edge and the capacity to make the atomic bomb, and as yet the Sov iets do not." It is his understanding, Fotes tal elaborated, that Russia knows how to make the bomb but won't have the capacity to make it for some time yet. He endorsed a statement by Dr. Edmund Walsh Italy Granted Gold; General Strike Quiet WASHINGTON, April 12 -UP- ! Italy's anti - communist parties got more campaign ammunition today: the western powers decid- ' ed to ieturn $31,000,000 in gold looted by the nazis. The state department said the British - French - American gold commission in Brussels has ap proved an Italian government claim and will return this gold soon. The announcement obviouslv was another of the long-plannrC moves by the western powers to strengthen Italian government forces in the closing days of the hectic political fight for control of Italy. The nationwide election nex Sunday will decide whether Italy . stays in the western bloc or the : communists take over. Some diplomatic officials frank ly acknowledged the announce ment was a new American effort to show Italians how much confi dence the United States places in the present non - communist gov ernment. Italy is the only country so far to get dividends from the $320, 000,000 "gold pot" in Brussels. This represents gold stolen by the nazis from European countries they occupied. Russia has given up all claim to this gold cache and thus does not sit on the commission. New Building Plans Up to Board Today Completed plans for the pro-j posed $2,000,000 state office build- ; ing in Salem will be reviewed by j the state board of control here ; today. ' The building, authorized by the j last legislature, will be five stories I high, finished in marble and will be constructed across from the state capitol. If the plans are ap proved in today's meeting bids will be opened within 50 days. About 18 months would be re quired to complete the project. REBELS CAPTURE PORT PANAMA, Panama, April 12.

Hebert (D-La.) who suggested that we have no way of knowing when Russia will acquire that capacity. Forrestal argued for the peace time draft and for universal mili- I tary training as steps for peace, : not war. He told the committee: "The whole aim and effort of i the United States is to attain the ' objective of peace, to prevent dif ferences between nations from de veloping into armed conflict, until the United Nations has gained the ' maturity and both the moral and : physical force with which to deal with any international act of ag gression." , ' He said he believes that if the United States makes clear it will and can prevent the civilization of : western Europe from being de stroyed "we shall have peace." i Several times, Forrestal refused j I to describe present world condi- j tions as "critical." He preferred to say there is "a state of tension." j "I don't like to use the word I crisis in the sense that I expect t war tomorrow or next Monday," I he said. "1 do not." ROME, April 12 -4JP)- A one hour nationwide general strike and fresh violence in the south hit Italy today just six days before ' the general elections. The strike was called by the communist - led General Confed eration of Labor (CGIL) in pro test against the violent death of 35 Sicilian workers and labor leaders in the past two years. Reports reaching Rome indi cated the strike went off in a quiet and orderly fashion over the en tire nation. There was no general paralysis of activity, as piedicted by the men who issued the strike call. The pre - election violence flared at Lizzanello, in the south- j em province of Lecce. A bomb tossed into the midst of a com munist - led popular front meet ing killed Cesare Trove, 56, a Ce sare Longo, 16, and wounded 20 other persons. Communist newspapers charged fascists with the bombing, and protested the lack of protection given the popular front meeting. Option Expires On Locker Plant; Future Uncertain Expiration, of an option for the unfinished frozen-food locker plant on Soi'th Commercial street leaves the future of the enter prise in doubt, it was declared Monday by Roy L. Hewitt, Salem attorney and chairman of the board of the Producers-Consum- i ers cooperative formed several weeks ago. i The cooperative, which obtained j an option from W. C. Gabriel, was i to have paid $23,000 by April 1. Hewitt said "shortness of time" , precluded carrying out its pro visions. A $160,000 investment eventually was contemplated. The project was instituted by Gabriel but became involved in ligitation regarding liens and con tractor use of money. Hewitt said Monday a "con siderable number of $25 mem berships had been sold by the cooperative with the understand ing that at least 80 per cent would be refunded if membership hold ers wished, in event negotiations fell through. It was provided that up to 20 per cent could be used for investigation and promotion. The cooperative remains extant and can take up other enterprises if it so desires, Hewitt said. Body of Strangling Victim Identified As Ex-Student's PORTLAND, April 12 -UP-College students today identified the shoeless, strangled body found in roadside underbrush north of here as that of a former Vanport college student He was Roman Marion Podlas, 29, who had been dead at least two days before a hitchhiker saw Uhe body in the brush yesterday. Detectives sata iroaias leit school in 1946, and since had worked b a merchant seaman. Students said they last saw him Wednesday, when he applied hourly at the seaman's hiring hall for a berth on a ship. He did not get one. Marks on neck and wrists indi cated a rope or wire had bound him. The face was bruised from a beating. The coroner said strangulation caused death. Detectives said they had not determined whether he was killed on the road, or whether his body was dumped there later. fOUNDBD 1651 The Orecon Statesman, Salem. Oregon, Must Co To Court A nyway WASHINGTON, April 12-fP)-John L. Lewis called off the na tionwide coal strike today just ahead of court action but a fed eral judge ordered him to trial Wednesday on contempt charges just the same. The United Mine Workers lead er issued his back-to-work call after agreeing to a compromise plan calling for $100 -a -month pension for miners over 62. His attorneys contended the last-hour move cleared him of any contempt and left nothing to enjoin. But the court disagreed on both counts, ordering the contempt trial and at the same time extending into next week the temporary re straining order against the 29-day-old walkout. Miner Reaction Varied Those rulings formed the back ground for a spotty reaction in the field to Lewis' order for resump tion of digging. Some miners made ready to grab their tools again immediately but others thought they might wait to "see what they're going to do with Uncle John (Lewis)." The main question Wednesday in the contempt trial will be whe ther Lewis moved fast enough. Federal Judge Matthew McGuire had ordered him on April 3 to call off the walkout immediately. The pension plan to which Lew- is agreed provides $100 a month for miners past the age of 62 who have served 20 years and retired since May 29, 1946. Pension Compromise Won He had wanted the same amount for men aged 60 no matter when retired. Operators, on the other hand had objected to payment of any pen sions to men not employed by mines signatory to the current coal contract which has built up a $32,000,000 miners welfare fund out of a royalty of 10 cents per ton of coal. Whether the operators will take the compromise without a court fight was an open question to night. PITTSBURGH, April 2MJP-M least a partial return - to - work started among the 400,000 United Mine Workers today. Some mem bers declared, however, they would wait to see what happens at Wed nesday's contempt hearing against UMW John L. Lewis. First work resumption reports came from the Kansas-Western Missouri area. First reaction from union quar ters in Illinois, Ohio and West Vir ginia was that miners would un qualifiedly return to work in those states. Henry Wallace Mother Passes DES MOINES, April 12 -JPh-The mother of Third Party Presi dential Candidate Henry Wallace, Mrs. May Wallace, 80, died here today following a long illness. At her bedside as death came at 6:15 p.m. (CST) were four of her children Henry James, Mrs. Annabelle J. McLay of Birming ham, Mich., and Mrs. Mary O' Bruggmann, wife of the Swiss minister to the United States. Mrs. Wallace was the widow of Henry C. Wallace, who serv ed as secretary of agriculture un der Presidents Harding and Coo lidge, and who died in October, 1924. Taxi Firm Arguments Bring Council Passage Of Meter Requirements, Designated Stands By Robert E. Gangware City Editor. The Statesman Controversial taxicab legisla tion came to a head Monday night with final enactment of a city law to require meters in all taxis and to empower the council to designate specific street stands for all taxi companies. ' But final action was withheld on a taxi rate ordinance after conflicting arguments by taxi operators left in doubt whether the proposed "lower fares" would actually increase or decrease rates. Heated argument and intermin able rebuttal asong the local taxi interests tried the patience of the council which has had the taxi legislation on its agenda three months and the so-called "taxicab problem" before it for more than a year. Representatives of DeLuxe Valley and Shorty's taxi compan ies charged that the legislation was not in the public interest and that it was prompted by mon- opolistic tendencies" of R.

A Dewey man Stassen said he will have 300 convention votes without even counting Nebraska's 15. He breath ed confidence, too, that he will be top man in that state's GOP pop ularity primary today. The former Minnesota governor made his claim in a news confer ence at Omaha. He got a quick reply from the camp of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York in the form of a statement by Her bert Brownell, former republican national chairman. Brownell called it a ridiculous claim and added: "To date 337 convention dele gates out of a total of 1,094 have been selected in 15 states.

Boonimen Idle In NW Strike; Working Here By the Associated Press CIO boommen and rafters from a dozen locals in Oregon and Washington continued to leave the mills in groups today and a union spokesman said all boommen 600 to 700 in this area would be out by Wednesday. They are the men who prepare logs for the mills. Workers in the Olympia-Shel-ton and Portland areas walked out today. In Tacoma, a strike began a week ago. Two thousand mill workers were laid off in Tacoma today because of a shortage of logs. Further mill closures are expected to follow throughout the area if the strike continues for long. The boommen are asking a $2.24 daily increase over the dollar-a-day industry-wide raise offered last month. They claim they have received smaller wage increases than other lumber workers during the past eight years. The boom men now are making $12.76 a day. About 20 boommen employed by the Oregon Pulp and Paper and Haw ley Pulp and Paper compan ies near Salem continued to work through Monday afternoon. Of ficials of both companies said Monday night they had not been notified whether the workmen would report for work today. They said they had not been advised whether the local boommen would join the strike.

Discussing conditions of her nation, Mrs. Induk Pahk de clared there were three kinds of communists: 1. Apple communists, red on the outside but white on the in side. 2. Tomato communists, red on the outside and red on the Inside. 3. Watermelon communists, green on the outside but deep red on the inside. Most "dangerous of all," Mrs. Pahk said, was "the watermelon type." Pilot Survives Search Plane's Crash on Hood PORTLAND, Ore.. April 12 (IP) An air force officer has survived the crash today of his small plane on a Mount Hood glacier while patroling the area for trace of a missing national guard bomber. McChord Field, Wash., officials reported the pilot, Lt. Edward K. Kahoun, was seen walking around his wrecked L-5 craft by Lt. Eu gene C. Gore, who witnessed the crash on the northeast side of the mountain. Mountaineers hope his fur - lined winter flying suit will help him survive sub - freezing temperatures on the peak. Forest service rescuers left Timberline Lodge on the moun tain at 8:30 p. m. They hope to reach the Elliott glacier area by midnight, but may not be able to locate the plane until dawn. A second ground party directed by the Hood River county sheriff is heading toward the scene. They reported fighting blizzards. The two pilots were flying as a team when Lt Kahoun's plane was caught in a downdraft The plane plunged earthward and shattered on the glacier at about 8,300 feet elevation. The peak is 11,245 feet high. The plane crashed just before nightfall. A national guard trans port was unable to drop food and supplies before a thick overcast settled over the peak. The air force plane was one of several that has been operating in the area since an Oregon na tional guard A-26 attack bomber vanished Friday night with three Portland men aboard. There has been no trace found of the guard plane. 'Largest9 Flight Of B-29s on Way SMOKY HILL AIR BASE, Kas. April 12 -JP)- The largest mass flight of B-29s since the end of the war took off for Germany shortly before midnight tonight. Lt CoL Frank W. Ellis, in com mand, said it was "a routine training mission." He would not disclose the num ber of planes or men making the flight but said it was the long est flight of such large numbers in history. for each additional two-fifth miles, each additional passenger and each two minutes of waiting time directed by the passenger. One point of contention, how ever, was that this rate schedule does away with present 75-cent maximum fares from State street to city limits on direct routes and hence would increase by 10-20 cents the fares for longer runs. R. Lynn Clark maintained that fares would be down to 35 cents from downtown to the statehouse and 45 cents to the railroad de pot. Chris Kunkle of Valley Cab Co, objected because meters would show 10 cents at the outset of each additional two-fifths mile. He advocated a 35 cents minimum for three-fifth mile, with 5 cents for each additional one-fifth mile. Attorney Ralph Moody - ap peared tor "Valley and Shorty's companies, H. P.

The airport buildings, former army structures now being dis posed or by war assets adminis tration, will be purchased for $3, 449 at the recommendation of City Manager J. L. Franzen, who e- timated the 162,700 board feet of salvageable lumber 'would be worth at least $7,000. Some of the lumber will go into! city shops construction and the' remainder will be sold, Franzen indicated. Interceptor sewer bids will .be opened by the council at Its May 10 meeting, but contract award will await outcome of the May 21 special city election on an $815,000 sewage disposal system bond issue, it was decided at the council session last night in Sa lem Chamber of Commerce rooms. Bridge Bid Included i Alternate bids will be sought, to cover either the entire inter ceptor project from tha river .to Union street or only that part from the river to Columbia street for which the city has Jfunds on hand. Incorporated Into the bid call is bridge construction over "Mill creek on North Church street, for which three previous separate calls have brought no bidders. Of the $815,000 proposed sewer bond issue, $600,000 is for a sewage treatment plant and the balance for the interceptor sewer.
