Hearings on
Phone Finn's
Plea to Resume
Attempt of the Pacific Telephone
smd Telegraph company to win ap
proval from the state public utili
ties of an item in itj budget will
resume in hearings before the PUC
Monday.
The hearings will begin at 10
a.m. in the . Salem Chamber of
. Commerce rooms. J. L. Kennedy,
chief accountant of the PUC said
Wednesday he thought the hear
ings would require only a few days
to complete.
The hearing concerns the Paci
fic company's request to pay to
the American Telephone and Tele
graph company, for service render
, ed, 14 per cent of the Pacific
, company's gross earnings up to
; October, 1948, and 1 per cent since
? then. ,
Public Utilities Commissioner
George Flagg refused the request
ed item on the grounds that pay
ments should be made on the basis
of actual services rather than on
a contractual basis.
4 When the budget item was first
denied by the PUC, the company
brought suit in Marion county cir
cuit court against the commission.
Circuit Judge E. M. Page, however,
ruled he had no jurisdiction over
the matter because the company
had not exhausted all proceed ure
with the PUC.
In addition to Kennedy, the PUC
will be represented at Monday's
hearing by E. L. Graham, deputy
attorney general.
Present for the company will be
Harry Gretz, American Telephone
and Telegraph company assistant
comptoller from New York; S. W.
Campbell, vice president and comp
tollei for the Pacific company from
f Ban Francisco, F. D. Tellwright,
. vice president and general man
ager of the Pacific company in the
Oregon area and E. S. Walling, Pa
cific engineer, both from Portland,
and Dr. Oliver Buckley, Bell la
bor! ties president from New Jersey.

Story of U. S.
Firing at Soviet
Planes Denied
NEW YORK, Jan. 26-(JPy-The
United Nations World, a maga
zine having no official relationship
to the U.N., said today Umted
States forces havs fired at Rus
sian planes flying over Okinawa.
High U.S. air force officials
promptly denied the story.
The magazine said Soviet planes
on various occasions new over
U.S. bases on Okinawa, which are
restricted areas.
"When these violations persisted
the planes were fired on, the
magazine said. "The clandestine
flights continue with time-table
regularity over Okinawa, where
U.S. ack-ack personnel now has
standing orders to fire on all 'un
identified planes as soon as they
appear on their radar screens."
(In Tokyo, Lt. Gen. Ennis C.
Whitehead, commander of far
east air forces, said "American
forces in the far east have not
fired on any airplane since V-J
day." He declined all comment oh
whether Soviet planes had flown
over Okinawa.)

CHICAGO, Jan. 2ft- (JPy- Dr.
Thomas I. Cook quit today as pro
fessor of Political Science at the
University of Washington after
the dismissal of three other facul
ty members in a controversy over
asserted present or former com
munist activity.
Three other U. of W. faculty
members were placed on proba
tion Saturday. They had been si
milarly accused.
"I resigned," Prof. Cook told a
news conference, "because of the
conspicuous violation of the prop
er processes for deciding issues of
freedom and tenure" at the uni
versity. Prof. Cook has been a Univer
sity of Washington faculty mem
ber for nine years. Currently he
is at the University of Chicago
as a visiting professor.
"In no sense," Cook said, is his
resignation "motivated by sym
pathy for communism but rather
for the due processes of established
law."

Ty Power to
Wed Despite
Legal Hitch
ROME, Tuesday, Jan. 27-(P-Tyrone
Power said he will marry
Linda Christian at 10:30 a. m. to
day (1:30 a. m. Pacific Standard
time, regardless of any last minute
legal hitch in California.
"If this marriage is not recog
nized in California when we re
turn there we will get married all
over again," he said.
The wedding of the Hollywood
film stars will be held at the
scheduled hour in Rome's Santa
Francesco Roman Catholic church
with high-placed Italian society
and Hollywood natables in attend
ance. The legal hitch came in Cali
fornia when it developed that fi
nal divorce papers for Power had
not yet been signed.
(California law requires a year's
wait between granting of inter
locutory and final divorce decrees.
The final decree is a formality,
but the law prescribes that a full
calendar year must elapse before
it is granted. The French actress,
Annabella, won her divorce from
Power on Jan. 26, 1948, so under
the law the final cannot be grant
ed until January 27.)

Private Capital
Spread Abroad
By John M. Ilightower
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 - iP) -Secretary
of State Dean Acheson
declared today the United States
must marshal new reserves of mil
itary and economic might in the
world struggle for freedom against
what he called "reactionary" com
munism. Acheson, in his first news con
ference as chief of U.S. foreign
policy under President Truman,
discussed two main lines of ac
tion: 1. He said that a "very great"
reservoir of private capital is
available to finance President
Truman's new program to raise
the standard of living in back
ward areas of the world. But he
served notice that countries desir
ing such help must create condi
tions "attractive" to private in
vestment. 2. On the military front of the
cold war, Acheson endorsed the
plans worked out by former secre
tary of state Marshall and retiring
undersecretary Lovett for a mili
tary alliance with western Europe.
China Peace Talk
Dims; Government
To Flee to Canton
NANKING, Jan. 26 -(JP) The
Chinese government and the com
munists accused each other of bad
faith today. As peace prospects
dimmed, the Nationalists hastily
tried to establish a new defense
line south of .the Yangtze.
A highly-placed source, who
talked to acting President ' Li
Tsung-Jen today, said Li was try
ing to halt the transfer of the
government to Canton.
The Foreign office announced
early today that all government
functions would cease in Nankin
February 3 and the new capit-
of government-held China would
be set up at Canton, effective
February 5.
(Since the removal to Canton
already has been announced Li
seems to havt no conrol over the
cabinet, despite his position as
"acting president.")
The government would like to
have the diplomatic corps follow
it to Canton. Some embassies a re
preparing to move. Others, includ
ing the U. S. embassy, await in
structions from their capitals. ,

Young Mother 'Misunderstood?
Sterilization, But WorftFiglitfltf
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26-JP)-Mr. Georgette B rucks, at 21 (ioott'l
to become mother of her fourth child, will go through with a court- '
ordered sterilization. Earlier she had said that she did not realize th
order would strip her forever of the rights of motherhood. mi i
A superior court judge ordered she be made sterile as part of the,!!
probation imposed on her plea of guilty to manslaughter in the fatal !!
oeaung or ner seven-monins-oid
illegitimate son, Howard. , Judge
Thomas L Ambrose also ordered
that she give up another son, Don
aid, 20-months, and the yet un
born child. Judge Ambrose made
the rare ruling yesterday after the
mother and her lawyer agreed to
it.
Earlier today, Mrs. B rucks, al
most childlike in appearance, said
she had misunderstood the effect
of the sterilization operation.
"When I went into court, I
though that the operation would
prevent me from having children
tor about six or seven years, or
until I got settled down," she told
reporters from her cell. Her attor
ney, Walter Anderson, said the
operation was carefully explained
to her before she agreed to sub
mit to K. He said that it had been
decided on after findings of sev
eral psychiatrists. i
After Anderson had talked with
Mrs. Brucks this afternoon, she
told newsmen that she now under
stands what the sterilization is all
about and added: "I won't fight
it." i
