Mar shall, speaking at the U.N. general assembly in Paris, and Ernest Bev in,; British foreign minister, aa dressing the house of commons. In each the tone of the address was firm without being provocative. ; Bevin said you couldnl buy peace from the Russians with conces sions, but made it clear the west was not thinking in terms of war. Marshall offered to put the issues , In controversy before any com-; petent body for settlement, but he , warned it would be a -tragic er-; ror" if any country mistook Amer- j tea's patience for weakness. In ef-, feet both were" addressing the; world and Russia; but there isj no sign that Russia has heard with j an understanding ear. J Instead Andrei Vishinsky, Sov-i Jet deputy foreign minister, at tacked the west in a U.N. address Saturday, accusing the United States of plotting atomic war, with T?iiian cities selected for destruc tion. The U. S. he said was making military alliances, constructing military' bases, carrying on un ihkMl nrooaeanda of a war against the Soviet Union, which, h solemnly declared "continues in nursue the nolicy of peace." These addresses, coupled with the formal note dispatched to the Kremlin Wednesday, mark the cu max of the period of direct nego tiation, if Russia makes no satis factory reply the whole issue of east-west relations in which Ber lin is, as Bevin says, "a sort of salient, will be dumped in the lap of the U.N. assembly.

Carpenter " PARIS, Sept. 25-WP-Russia's fiery Andrei Y. Vishinsky today urged the five great powers to scrap a third of their land, sea and air forces and demanded a ban on the atomic bomb.

Western power delegates, par- . ttrularly those of the United Slates, tarred his speech "old stun. Krit- Ssa Minister of State Hector Me titH caTied it -warmed-over hash.' Tor the second straight year the former Soviet prosecutor singled out Defense Secretary James V. Forrest! in his vehement attack against the west. He said For- restal is a leader in the group of men laying "flashily colored plans' for using the atomic bom!) to destroy such soviet dues as Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Knar kov and Odessa. The general feeling of delegates, as expressed to newsmen, was that Vlshinsky's 'policy speech to the 68-nation assembly was merely s warmed-over version of the arms limitation demand put forward in the 1948 assembly by Foreign Min ister V. M. Molotov and Vlshin sky's own attack of last year on what be called warmongers. British Reds Plan a Propaganda Drive LTVXRPOOL, Sept. Brltlsh Communists were told to day to build up a new slogan among British workers "Let the Yanks do their own dirty work" in opposing Russia.

A-Spv Case to 'Shock Public Solons Claim WASHINGTON, Sept, 15-(JP)- An official close to the house un American activities committee said today its forthcoming report on atomic espionage "will shock the public." It will slate, the official de clared, that Presidents Roosevelt and Truman and Attorney General Tom C. Clark "had aU the facts on a Russian spy ring that got atomio bomb secrets but did noth ing about it. The official, who declined use of his name, said the report will assert that Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Truman and Clark knew that "Soviet agents in a complete pro fessional spy ring, working with amateurs" successfully obtained American atomic secrets. "It was a complete admission,' the official said. The Justice department had no comment on the statements. Earlier, Rep. Vail (R 111.), a member of the committee, said the report will assert that some scientists working with the super- secret Manhattan atomic bomb projects st the University of Chi cago made attempts to steal atom secrets. He told reporters: "We are in clined to believe they were suc eessful." Gopher Plays Practical Joke SAN JOSE, Sept. 25 -UPv- The persistent sound of running water caused C. J.

P(TD(S Rejection Of Offer Predicted By John M. Hightowcr WASHINGTON, Sept. 2ft-(Sun-day) -JP- Russia's demand for control of all commercial air trans port to Berlin appeared tonight to be a far greater price than the western powers are willing' to pay to get the Soviet blockade of Ber lin lifted. This was the outstanding point seen by authorities here in the Moscow radio broadcast of the Soviet version of how the Berlin crisis came about and the points of difference. State department officials after a preliminary consideration of the Moscow statement declined any immediate comment. To Consider Offer It seemed certain that the state ment would be considered by top officials of the United States, Brit ain and France in Paris today. It was regarded as significant here that the Russians led off their list of points by declaring their in sistence on absolute control of all land, water and air transport into Berlin. This is a right which In the view of the western governments the Soviets do not now have and it they gained It they would have the legal power to shut off the air lift by which the American and British air forces have been able to overcome the blockade. Thus in the future the Russians would be in position to impose a far more effective blockade than Is now in effect. Blockade Said Illegal Quite contrary to Russia's de mand on this point, the western powers have contended since the start of the crisis that they have full legal right of access to Berlin and that Russia is acting illegally in maintaining the blockade. 7 Moreover, in all the negotia tibns'ln Moscow the west has in sisted on this right and demand ed that the blockade be lifted be fore there is any negotiation on outstanding German issues other than the specific problem of cur rency In Berlin. Russ Sleep as Plan Broadcast MOSCOW, Sunday. Sept. 20-Up) The Soviet statement on the four power talks on Berlin was broad cast over the Moscow radio early this morning while the city was still asleep. American. French and British diplomats attended a celebration at the New Zealand legation last night snd had returned home and retired when the broadcast was made. Some of them had said they thought It likely there would be a statement but they did not know when it would come. The Soviet public, which now will get an account of what went on during the extended talks here during July, August and Septem ber, will read the Tass statement in the morning newspapers and hear it repeated on the radio dur ing morning news broadcasts. University of Oregon Sets Enrollment Record EUGENE, Sept. 25 -(P)- The University of Oregon reported a record high enrollment of 5,951 students today, and predicted a final total of 6,000. .

Air Secretary Symington gave a hint of the speed attained by; the knife-winged little plane in an air force association speech.; Enumerating achievements by; the air force during the past year, he mentioned laconically, "an airplane flying hundreds of: miles faster than the speed of sound, which is 760 miles per hour at sea level." This is all he had to say on, that matter, but it constituted : the first official suggestion of, the speeds being reached by the Premature Frost, Snow Results in Crop Damage Br th Associate Press j An unseasonal Oregon winter was forecast to warm ui a trifle to-i day after premature snow hit many areas, damaging the Hood River fruit crop and bringing killing frost to some crop areas.) j The damage from a two - inch; snow blanket In the upper Hood River valley was estimated at 1 or 2 pr centof the fruit crop after a field survey. Elmer Creson, chief Inspector for the Hood River Ap- rl Growers association, said number of small trees had split branches. The harvest will be in full Kvvimr by Monday. Snow covered southern Baker county's Hereford valley and the Canyon City region of central Oregon far ahead of the usual first autumn snowfall. The cold was hailed in central Oregon, where the 10,000-acre po tato crop was brought to maturity by vine-killing freezes. The mer cury dropped to 27 degrees Satur day morning at Madras, The cold disrupted the Klamath Basin's grain and seed harvest, however, and some farm hands moved on into California. "We've lost 11 days at a time when It hurts." said County Agent C. A. Henderson. A killing freeze was forecast for the Klamath area, and local frosts for many parts of Oregon Afternoons, however, were due to warm up through most of the state, and the rain which pounded wes tern Oregon for three days clear ed off Saturday. Have You Turned Back the Clock? If everything seems normal this morning, be careful you prob ably forgot to move your clock back last night. And at that rate, you'll be doing everything an hour earlier than you have to. For Salem and most of Oregon resumed standard time at 2 a. m. today after three summer months of daylight saving time. Just to help straighten (?) things out, sometime lsst night you should have moved your clock back one hour (for example, mid night to 11 o'clock). That provided an extra hour's sleep but Its too late now If you forgot.
