J The Statesman. Setem. Oregon. Senate Backing for Troops-to-Europe Proposal Probable WASHINGTON, Jan. 18-fJVSigns increased tonight that the U. S. senate would approve sending troops to join an international army for the defense of western Europe. After President Truman said today that he would welcome such . rWlar.tinn from the senate. Senator Taft (R-Ohio) indicated he would favor an authorization for the Labor Factor Up s Chances For Shipyard PORTLAND. Jan 18 An j available labor supply was cited today by Edgar F. Kaiser as a fa vorable factor in possible reacuv ation of the Vancouver, Wash., re- serve shipyard Kaiser, president of Kaiser-Fra-xer corporation, told Hillman Le uddemann, chairman of the may or's port development committee, in a telephone interview that if the labor supply is not put to use it likely will be scattered to other areas. Kaiser said his company was preparing bids for construction of five large cargo ships for the mari time administration at the Van couver yard. A similar bid, he said, was to be submitted for five ships to be built at a reserve yard at Richmond, Calif. "The yards appear to be about equal," he told iieuddemann, "but the labor supply in the Portland- Vancouver area appears to be fa- ! vorable." i The Kaiser company was able to I build ships more cheaply in world j war II at the Vancouver yard than I t the one at Richmond, Kaiser I said. He said steel could be sup- j plied to Vancouver as cheaply as to Richmond. I He pointed out that an attempt I was being made to get other de- fense work at Vancouver. Leuddemann said the port de- ) relopment committee was inter- J -ested in getting shipbuilding re sumed in the area, either by Kai- ' ser or some other concern Portland MiJk Producers Ask 3-Ceiit Boost PORTLAND, Jan. 18 -P- Pro ducers want to charge an addition al three cents a quart for milk in the Portland area, Will W.

January 19. 1951 dispatch of troops if a specific limitation were piacea on uie number. Although Taft had previously made known he was not unalter ably opposed to sending troops when they are available, his state ment to reporters tonight appear ed to take some of the steam out of the all-out opposition to such a course. Most senate democrats are ex pected to support the administra tion on the issue, and a sizable mimKr rf T-niihlirnQ havp indi calecj they wouid go along. President Truman reiterated at his news conference that he has a constitutional right to order troops any where without congressional sanction. But, under questioning, he said he would appreciate high ly an affirmative expression, of support from congress. Senate republican leaders, com menting on the developments, said they welcomed a chance to vote on the question. Mr. Truman also told his news conference that: 1 Of course, the U. S. will bring all the pressure to bear it can on the United Nations to brand red China an aggressor. He said he gave prior approval to Sec retary of State Acheson's state ment yesterday rejecting commun ist China's counter proposal for a cease-fire in Korea. Acheson de scribed the proposal as a "con temptuous disregard of a world wide demand for peace." 2 G vernment experts are working on a new tax increase program, but he could not say now what it would contain. This was in reply to a question wheth er a federal sales tax would be proposed. 3 Price-ware controls will be imposed as fast as possible. He could not set a date, although Charles E. Wilson, defense mobil ization chief, said in a speech last night that mandatory controls should be imposed soon. 4 He made his position clear at last week's news conference on the matter of consulting congress on the troops question, but he said that his remarks had not been quoted by a single newspaper in the country- Newsmen challenged the president on this and got out newspapers and the official tran script of the conference to buttress their claim that Mr. Truman was wrong.

KD CAP FT S La I E Italian Police Control Re3 Demonstrators ROME, Jan. 1 8--1 taly dem onstrated today, in security pre cautions .attending the visit of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, that her tough police can handle her communists. Whether she also demonstrat ed to Gcnr- Eisenhbwer that she has a fighting force and a fight ing spirit to help fend off Russian communist pressure was another thing. Among American observers there was a conflict of opinion about how useful Italy would be in event the Russians started their legions rolling out from behind the iron curtain. Police Frinze Crowd The biggest anti-Eisenhower demonstration of the Atlantic Pact commander's tour mounted up in Rome, but anti-communist propa ganda plus swarms of police took most of the steam out of it. A crowd estimated at between 8,000 and 10,000 packed into the Teatro di Colle Oppio and the streets around it. Platoons of oolice with carbines and tommyguns were stationed on the fringes of the crowd. Reserves waited nearby. Farther away were a half dozen red Jeeps, which riot squads drive into unruly crowds at full speed to round them up or scatter them. The major part of the crowd was silent, listening to various labdr and communist speakers. March to Peace Chant Small groups sang Red songs. Others shouted: "Go home Eisen hower." Little eddies here and there in the crowd marched while chant ing "pace, pace," Italian for peace. A mile away from the demon stration at the Rome theater. Gen. Eisenhower spent the afternoon in his hotel room writing letters and conferring with his staff. During the day he met President Luigi Einaudi, Premier Alcide de Gas peri and heads of the military services. Hop men Hear Coast Control Board Member E. L. Markell.

Air General Favors Use Of Atom Bomb MARCH AIR BASE, Calif., Jan. 18-(y!p)-Use of the "most effective weapon we have" the atom bomb against Red China was recom mended today by Maj. Gen Em mett (Rosie) O'Donnell, just re turned from the Far East bombing command. "I think we'd be very effective with the ultimate weapon against red China," said the stocky straight-from-the-shoulder general Asked by a reported to define the term "ultimate weapon." the general replied: "The atomic bomb." "They'll understand the lash when it's put to them," General O'Donnell said. In Washington, Joseph Short, secretary to President Truman, told reporters: "General O'Donnell is speaking for himself and not the United States government." Short made this comment after the president had been advised of O'Donnell's statements. As to use of the A-bomb against red China, Gen. Hoyt S. Vanden berg, air force chief of staff, told a news conference yesterday, when asked if such a bomb could be employed effectively against Mukden, in Manchuria, and Chi nese cities: "I venture to guess we first would have to find out what mili tary objectives were in that area, and then decide whether to waste an A-bomb. I say 'waste' because perhaps those targets could be de stroyed just as well by weapons which should be used against war making potential rather than against people." Today Gen. Vandenberg said O'Donnell was not speaking for the air force.

Added Farm Labor Needs For '51 Noted WASHINGTON, Jan. 18-UP)-Secretary of Labor Tobin told his special farm labor committee to day the nation will seed at least 400,000 additional workers to har vest the record crop requirements this year. Tobin called it one of the coun try's major manpower problems. Farm hands have been brought in from Mexico, Puerto Rico and Ja maica in recent years to help with U. S. crops. Last year approxi mately 100,000 were imported but during the last war as many as 300,000 were needed. Not all of those required for this year's crop goals will be imported, Tobin said. Robert C. Goodwin, director of the office of defense manpower, said that "top consideration" must be given to the farm labor prob lem which he said was one of the first to develop in an emergency. Kaiser Adds Four Models To '51 Line WILLOW RUN, Mich. Four new models in the 1951 Kaiser line were added this week as Kai-ser-Frazer dealers introduced spe cial and deluxe two and four-door Traveler sedans.

Inside, they are conventional six-passenger sedans until the rear seat is flipped forward to provide 62 H cubic feet of cargo space.

The rear panel-tailgate assem bly opens the car from floor to roof for easy loading, it was de clared. More ( i av . m Y i EXTRA TREATS! Color Cartoon Tom Ewed Brevity Warner News Young Violinist Draws Plaudits From Salem Concert Audience By Maxlnc Boren ' Statesman Music Editor A near ovation was given Ossy Renardy, Vienna-born violinist who appeared in concert at the Salem high school auditorium as one in the Community concert series. The brilliant young violinist was applauded with spontaneous enthusiasm following the second of the three movements of the Con certo in D Major by Paganini. Renardy executed the tricky passages with confidence and ease. Though very much of a showpiece, the concerto is distinctly beautiful and its qualities were easily recogniz able to the listeners.
