Russ Accused
Of Pact-Busting
LONDON, jApril 13-UP)-Britain
accused Russia today of breaching
their 20ryear friendship alliance.
The note, a reply to Russia's
protest against the North Atlantic
alliance, was made public as a
diplomatic specialist in German
affairs reported that Russia has
made an informal offer to lift the
Berlin blockade if four-power ne
gotiations on Germany would be
resumed. The story could not be
confirmed In Berlin, Frankfurt or
Washington.
Britain said Russia agreed in
their treaty to give "all possible
economic assistance after the war"
to her ally, but on the contrary
engaged , in "open attempts to
wreck the European recovery pro
gram." Dooley to Fight

House Passes
$16 Billion for
Armed Forces
WASHINGTON, April 13
The house tonight overwhelming
ly approved a $10,000,000,000 mili
tary money bill, the greatest In
American peacetime history, after
less than two days of whirlwind
debate.
Only one vote was cast against
It.
The house rejected the navy's
bid,however, for $300,000,000 ex
tra for the naval air arm.
Rep. Cannon (D-Mo) shouted
that in the event of war with Rus
sia, it will be air force planes, not
navy planes, which will drop
atomic bombs on Moscow.
Passage of the omnibus army-
navy-air force measure was by a
landslide 271 to one vote. Rep.
Marcantonio (AL-NY) was the
lone dissenter.
The money is for the fiscal year
1950, starting July 1.

Oregon Feels
Quake Effects,
(Damage Listed
PORTLAND, April 13 -l,V- An
earthquake opewed thousand-dollar
cracks in Oregon buildings and
terrified thousands of Oregonians
today, but the state escaped the
worst of the shock.
The first quake here in three
years crumbled chimneys, broke
windows, shattered dishes, and
sent frightened people scurrying
to the street. Crevices that will
mean costly repairs yawned in
building walls.
But no one was killed or seri
ously Injured in Oregon. And no
buildings collapsed.
Roland K. Latford. Portland,
fractured his arm when he fell
running out from his home to the
street. A Portland woman, Mrs.
Bertha Twing, hurt her knee in
a jump from a mill shipping dock.
Rocks North Oregon
The quake rocked northwestern
Oregon, extending as far south as
Eugene, Coos Bay, and Reedsport,
and as far east as Prineviile and
La Grande. Roseburg, Klamath
Falls, Pendleton, and farther dis
tant cities did not feel it.
The Tillamook county court
house cracked slightly. Cans
tumbled from grocery shelves in
many towns. Dozens of bottles of
chemicals splintered in the Reed
college laboratory. The Beaverton
schools closed after wide chinks
opened in building facades.
Telephone lines were Jammed
with householders reporting brok
en dishes, glasses and preserve
jars. The flood of calls disrupted
some telephone circuits tempora
rily. Power Line Out
An 11, 000-volt power line was
knocked out for half, an hour,
blacking out suburban, and busi
ness sections of Portland. Tobling
bricks crashed through several
automobile windows in a down
town Portland parking 'lot.
Rocks rained down on the Spo
kane, Portland and Seattle railroad
line between Portland and Sea
side, halting traffic temporarily.
Earth slides occurred in some
areas, but no highway damage
was reported.
Two Astoria stores' basements
flooded when the quake broke
water pipes. The Seaside schools
closed as a precautionary meas
ure.
Escape Injury
Fifteen music school pupils here
narrowly escaped possible injury
when their teacher, about to lead
them outside for noon recess, de
cided to have them wait the quake
out inside. A moment later bricks
crashed down upon the sidewalk
where the youngsters would have
been walking.
Office workers on the twelfth
floor of one building were thrown
to the floor by the rocking.
Archie Hosner, who was walk
ing across the Morrison bridge,
said "I had to hold onto the rail
ing I felt like I was going to bo
thrown off."
