Colonel Abrams Finds
Services Co-operating
- Unification of the armed ser
vices already is a reality outside
of the highest levels, it appeared
to CoL Carle A bra mi of Salem
who represented the secretary of
the army as official observer at
the recent extensive maneuvers in
the Pacific.
The cooperation of the army,
navy and air force was one of the
most startling impressions of the
entire tour," Colonel Abrams
Mid Tuesday on his return. "They
acted as if they belonged to e
same service."
Colonel Abrams left with the
fleet on the U.S. Boxer, new
carrier, from San Diego on Octo
ber 10, and with the exception
of 11 days in the Hawaiian is
lands he was at sea on "Operation
Micki" until he returned to San
Diego last week. Twenty thou
Mnd sailors and 17,000 soldiers,
the latter from Ft Lewis, were
on the maneuvers.
The colonel paid high tribute
to-4he "leadership of Capt. John
B. Moss, skipper of the VS. Box
Test Delayed
On Legality
Of Unfair List
PORTLAND, Nov. 22-;p)-Fed-eral
Judge James A. Fee postponed
today a hearing that would have
tested the legality of a labor coun
cil's unfair list
-The Salem Trade and Labor
Council's unfair list was under at
tack in the case. The national la
bor relations board brought the
action, charging that the list con
stituted a secondary boycott, ille
gal under the Taft-Hartley act
The postponement was granted
because an NLRB attorney could
not be present at this time. Fee
id he would set a new hearing
date later.
' The NLRB also has a hearing
scheduled on the matter. It will
come up Dec. 13. The Valley Con
crete company and contractors
who are building bridges near In
dependence and a school at Dallas
asked for the hearing, charging
an unfair labor practice.
The case started, the NLRB said,
when AFL teamsters attempted to
organize the Valley company.
Strike and the unfair list later
were applied to buyers of the com
pany's product, the NLRB said.

Soviet Atomic
Advance Spurs
West Accord
By John M. Hlghtower
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 -P)-Russia's
progress in mastering the
secrets of the atom may have a
decisive influence in shaping a
new atomic energy partnership
agreement among the United
States, Britain and Canada.
Diplomatic authorities said to
day that the atomic explosion in
Russia had made it more import
ant than ever for the west to
build up its atomic bomb stock
pile as rapidly as possible. :
This view evidently will I be
advanced by the United States in
negotiations with Britain and
Canada as an urgent argument
for continuing to concentrate j the
production of atomic explosives
in this country without any ! cut
in the supply of raw. materials
coming here.
The state department announc
ed today that the second round
of "exploratory atomic energy
conversations' among representa
tives of the three countries will be
opened 'next Monday. The first
round was held in Washington
in late September.
At issue is revision of the war
born partnership of - the three
western powers in atomic secrets
and development of the first
atomic bomb. Two questions' are
reported to be off pressing im
portance: 1. The allocation between the
United States and Britain of uran
ium ore produced in the Belgian
Congo. They take the full output
of the Congo mines which are
the world's greatest.
2. The exchange of atomic
secrets among the three countries
in view of rigid limits placed by
U.S. law on the disclosure to any
country of such information.
Theoretically if the United
States jflatly declined to tell the
British land Canadians about con
tinuing! atomic developments in
this country, they could as blunt
ly refuse to cooperate in assuring
the United States maximum sup
plies of uranium ore. However,
no Informed official now expects
that to happen. 1
What seems more likely, ac
cording to American inf ormats,
is that President Truman will
seek congressional sanction to give
Britain and Canada more infor
mation .than they have heretofore
received.
Britain and Canada, for their
part, are expected to continue
supporting maximum allocations
of uranium ore to the United
States even though In the end
they may not obtain all the in
formation they would like to have.
Over all three countries, offic
ials said, is the shadow of an
atomic arms race with Russia.; On
the American side the aim is to
keep a stockpile of bombs which
in quantity and quality would
far exceed the Soviet supply and
thereby discourage, through j the
threat of retaliation, any Rus
sian idea of conquering the world
through a quick atomic war.

The land, located east of Silver

Old Injury May
Figure in Case
Of Sex Killer
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22 -UP)
Fred Stroble, confessed sex killer,
told newspapermen today "Maybe
I was insane.
Asked specifically if he would
plead insanity in the brutal slay
ing of six-year-old Linda Joyce
Glucoft, the 66-year-old baker
declared:
"They told me not to say so,
but I think I am."
He did not identify "they.'
Stroble complained of "a buzz
ing in my head," and a public
defender indicated that a street
car wreck injury 13 years ago
may figure in plans for his de
fense.
In his first interview, Stroble
showed brief flashes of animation,
in contrast to his dull silence in
court yesterday. Then his two
hour statement of the killing was
read and he was ordered held for
superior court Friday.
It was a story of drunkenness
and frustration, the molestation of
several small girls, and the scat
tering of $10,000 in bars since he
lost his job in a 1946 strike.
"I've cried lots since this
thing," he told reporters. There's
a buzzing in my head. My head
goes 'round and 'round, and it
hurts in back. I don t know
whether I had the buzzing with
Linda. I was drunk. I never got
out of a hangover. . . .
