2 Tho Statesman, golem. Oregon. Monday, January 7. Wilson Declares Guns-With-ButJ- er Policy to Remjain ' - ' t. WASHINGTON (-Defense MobOizer Charles Wilson disclosed Sunday the government has re-examined the guns-with-butter policy of building up the nation's military might and has decided to stick to it. V In a report to President Truman, Wilson described "tremendous gains in 1951." He said they were achieved with little disruption of Eclipse May Help U. S. to Correct Maps WASHINGTON WFl The Air Force hopes that a test made dur ing a. -total eclipse of the sun in Africa" and the Middle East next month will provide means of correcting maps of the area to within 200 feet of exactness. Present maps of portions of the world's surface, even well popu lated areas, often contain errors of many miles. This is of increasing importance as the era of long range -guided missies approach, where aim over thousands of miles must beprecise. An Air Force announcement Sunday said it is sending a scien tific expedition from its chart service. The expedition will take up positions along the path of the eclipse on Feb. 25, over a 3,200 mile arc extending from Libre ville, French Equatorial Africa, to Dhahran in Saudi Arabia. At six sites, photoelectric cells will record the exact instant of total eclipse. Using the time-totality -factor and knowing the speed at which the sun travels with relations to the earth, the sci entists tiope to compute the dis tance between each site, possibly with a margin of error of only 200 feet. 3 Persons Hurt As Cars Crash Three persons were injured, none critically in a two-car col lision Sunday night at North Lib erty and (Marion Streets, city po lice reported. Roderick: Harvey Hendrickson, 1740 State St., listed by police as driver of ia northbound 1950 con vertible, was taken to Salem Gen eral Hospital with multiple head lacerations. Robert Knight, 1935 S. Cottage St., passenger in the Hendrickson auto, was treated at the hospital for head lacerations then released, attendants said. Mrs. Martha Raymond, 460 Waldo Ave., suffered apparently minor head lacerations and a knee injury, police said. Her husband, George E. Raymond, was listed by police as driver of a 1937 coupe, westbound on Marion Street. Both cars sustained extensive front end damage and were towed from the scene, police said. Pleven Faces Voting Tests PARIS (P)-The French National Assembly votes eight times Mon day testing whether it still wants Premier Rene Pleven's five-month- old cabinet In office. If lie loses any one of the eight votes, Pleven and his middle-of-the road team probably will quit. The result would be a Cabinet crisis that might shift French policy sharply to the left or right. The eight issues before the As sembly are part of Pleven's plan for reorganizing the nationalized railways and social security sys tem to put them on a paying basis, On each of them Pleven has "put the question of confidence." 3 Prowlers Frightened From Scene Three week-end prowlers were apparently surprised during break ins and frightened away before anything could be taken, city po lice reported Sunday. One man was frightened away from Marion Apartments, 610 N. Commercial St., early Saturday morning when a tenant turned on the laundry room light after a rowler apparently had pulled a ocked screen door loose then stumbled noisily over several gar bage cans at the back entrance, police said. Two boys, thought to be about IS to IS years old, were surprised in the box office of the State Theater. 255 N. Church St, about midnight Saturday, the doorman told police.

And, he cau tioned, once wage policy has been settled "there can be no yielding" to further wage demands. The broad built-up charted ear ly during the Korean War, piling the new military load on top df a booming civilian economy over a period of three to four years, has been "thoroughly" scrutinized in recent weeks in the light of criti cism, Wilson said. Dangerous Lags The sharpest critic has been the Senate Armed Services Subcom mittee on Preparedness, headed by Senator Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex). A month ago this group reported "dangerous" lags in niilitary out put. It condemned an asserted failure to "put guns ahead of butter." Wilson told a news : conference, at which his report was issued, that no civilian cutback could speed rearmament appreciably. The achievement! , of the American people in the past year have been tremendous," Wilson said in his report. "We have come a long way along the road toward a mighty America which is also the road to peace." Military Gains He recited these developments: The addition of mora than one million men to the armed serv ices; addition of 28 wings to the Air Force to make a total of 90 wings; a trebling of military de liveries and construction, to a total of two billion dollars monthly. Steel-making capacity has been boosted by 4 per cent, aluminum capacity by 10 per cent and elec tric power production by 10 per cent. "On a number of major mili tary items we have already reached our planned peak produc tion rates and have either levelled off production or actually cut it back," Wilson said. LeveUns-off Point Among the latter are two air craft types, several types of radar, and "a variety of minor and easier-to-get items." Wilson went on: "By the end of 1952 we should have reached the leveling-off point in all of our major items of military equipment except air craft." One obstacle to smooth arms production, Wilson said, has been the lack of "realistic" production schedules. Only now, he reported, are firm schedules being pre pared. "On the long-lead-time items those requiring much advance tooling, the deliveries we are get ting are now from orders placed before the attack on Korea," Wil son commented. "Not a single plana that was not in production before Korea, for example, has been used yet in combat there. "The bulk of the orders for the new weapons reached Industry in March or April of 1951, after ap propriations were available. "We are not seeing today nor will we see until lata 1952 the results of this order placement.' Southern GOP Leaders to Insist On Bold Campaign LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (ff Southern Republicans are going to insist at the GOP national con vention that the Party conduct a "bold and realistic" campaign in Dixie In 1852. Osro Cobb, GOP chairman in Arkansas, said Sunday the South erners aim to make the Republi can leaders recognize the poten tialities of the South and not con cede a precinct in any state until the votes are counted.

Price Control End Rejected .ASHING TON (A)-The govern ment has studied and rejected a proposal to remove price controls from items which like a num ber of foods and clothing items are selling substantially below OPS ceilings. Mobilizer Charels E. Wilson, in his quarterly report issued Sun day said the problem is mainly the lack of any guarantee that prices will stay at present levels. "Our conclusion is that it will be necessary for some time to maintain price control across the economy," Wilson said.

Greek Romeo Minus Tears For Lost Juliet ATHENS, Greece (;P) Crete's modern Romeo shed no salty tears Sunday over the loss of his lovely Juliet. Instead, says he, 'twas a great relief "for me and my fam ily" "I only feel very sorry for hav ing loved so much a woman with out heart, without feelings a self ish creature," said dashing Costa Kephaloyannis, who in 1950 swept the daughter of his family's bitter est rivals into, the mountains to wed her. His 20-year-old wife, Tassoula, anguished , they say, because Cos ta's business in Crete kept her away from the brighter world of Athens, left her husband Thurs day and went back to her tearful ly forgiving father, George Petra cogeorgi, a Liberal member of Parliament. The father says he Is going to try to have the marriage legally annulled. Costa says Tassoula de serted him his reward for "the heavy sacrifices I have gone into for her sake. "This adventure cost my family no less than 500 million drachmas ($35,000), mustachioed Costa told newspapermen. He repeated that the reason Tassoula left him was her insistence upon living in Athens, a thing Costa could not agree to since he must look after his family estates including a grove of 3,000 olive trees on the nigged, fabled island of Crete. Nevertheless, said Costa, I am very pleased at the turn things have taken and I feel better than ever. Costa recently was freed from prison after serving a term for il legally bearing arms when be took Tassoula to the mountains to mar ry her.
