Balti more, was grilled by the senators for 12 days about Communist con nections and what influence he wielded on America's postwar pol icy in the Far East. Protests Innocence "I am, of course, innocent," Lattimore said at the office of his attorney here, where he was Informed of the indictment The grand jury, after going over the record of the Senate hearing with government prosecutors, charged that Lattimore lied about seven "material" matters. The Jurors reported: 1- That he testified he had never supported communism, whereas he "had been a sympathizer and promoterof communism and Com munist interests " 2. That he testified falsely he did not know until 1950 that Dr. Ch'ao Ting Chi was a Communist. Chi was a man Lattimore worked with at the Institute of Pacific Relations and was accused by the subcommittee of being a Red agent. Pen Name Cited 3. That he swore that he did not know until the late 1930's that a person who used the pen-name of "Asiaticus" was a Communist, knowing this testimony to be un true.

A far-ieaching change in the way of financing future Pacific Northwest federal power developments was proposed Tuesday to the Bonneville Region al Advisory Council, opening a two-day Seattle session. A research committee, headed by Dr. Maurice W.

But U.S. Fleet Separate PARIS The Atlantic Allies Tuesday named British Adm. Earl Mountbatten boss of the Mediter ranean sea lanes, but left the pow erful American Sixth Fleet inde pendent in that sea under U. S Adm. Robert B. Carney. Prodded by Prime Minister Churchill, proud of British naval traditions, the Council of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion acted to: 1. Set up a brand new command in the Mediterranean with the mainly defensive role of guarding the Allied lifelines between Gib raltar and Suez. 2. Placed it initially under Mountbatten,52, a World War II hero who is a second cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, but specified that he must be subordinate to the supreme allied commander In Eu rope, U. S. Gen. Matthew B. Ridg way. 3. Left the TJ. S. Sixth Fleet as the naval arm of the Naples-based Southern European Command headed by Carney, who also re ports directly to Ridgway. The primary wartime Job of this fleet would be to support land opera tions. , ' DiSalle Named As Stabilizer WASHINGTON If) President Truman Tuesday brought Michael V. DiSalle back into the govern ment as economic stabilizer to help maintain a "strong" anti-inflation program until the new Republican adminif'ration takes over on Jan. 20. DiSaUe made it clear that he feels controls over prices and wag es will be necessary to ward off threats of inflation for some time to come. The former price director add ed that he is sure the new Con gress will study the situation care fully before deciding to abandon the program. DiSalle probably will be sworn in" Monday to succeed Roger L. Putnam, who resigned as econom ic stabilizer Tuesday to return to his private business in Springfield, Mass. Defense Mobilizer Henry Fowl er said later at a press confer ence the price and wage control program will be maintained.

In other session activities, the Council heard both encouraging and discouraging reports from Dr. Paul J. Raver, administrator, and Williarr A. D .Tier, power man age of the neville Power Ad rninistration, and the controversial issue of the aluminum industry's use of present Tower su. . lies was debated. Both Dr. Raver and Dittmer agreed thtr- is a serious likeli hood of further curtailment of power use this winter. For the next several years, however, they said there need e no further cuts in "firm" power supplies sold on the understan "ng it w;1" be avail able at all times. Power Issue Debated aluminum power issue was debated by a panel of Norman L. Krey, manager of the Kaiser alu minum reduction plant near Spo kane; Allan Smith, Portland, counsel for the Pacific Power & " ight Co.; and Kirby Billingsley, V.enatchee, representing the Che lan County Public Utility District. Krey cited the employment pro vided by a'uminum plants and Raver Suggests Regional Board Bupd All Dams SEATTLE (f) An "explora tory suf-ffestlon" that the fed eral government retire entirely from the feneration, distribution and sale of hydro-electric power in the Pacific Northwest, was made Tuesday by this region's top government power man Dr. Paul J. Raver, Bonneville Power Administrator. Dr. Raver also suggested to the Bonneville Regional Advis ory Council "that we take power completely out of the hands of the federal government" and place it in the hands of a re gional board either elected or appointed by the governor! of the states concerned. "This board should be given the power to build dams and finance them. It would be noth ing but a power agency set up to conduct a power business only." their exrvnditures for transporta tion, supplies and power and Bill ingsley said it would be "as ridi culous to say we ha 'e too much aluminum as to say we have too much timber." Smith said the private power companies are carrying a "back breaking burden" in their expen ditures for ..am-ge ierad pow er and that the region's; first ob ligation should be "to people al ready here" before adding indus tries that use large amounts of power In proportion to the employ ment they provide. Under the Lee plan for financ ing future power developments. Congress would authorize each proposed project. Market Place Test Bonds might then be bought ei ther by the U. S. Tasury or pri vate investors, giving the projects the additior "test c the market place." Such a revenue bond plan is now used for financing municipal and public utility district plants In Washington state. It has also been suggested by the Hoover Commis sion's task force on public works, the Lee report said. Dr. Raver noted that during the next four years federal projects now under construction will pro vide more than 1,500,000 kilowatts of "firm" power "equivalent to another Grand Coulee or four Bon ne villes." Non-federal projects private and public will add sub stantially to the total. National Power Shortage By 1954, he said, the nation will have the "worst power shortage it has" experienced Just as we are coming out of our shortage." On this basis, he added, the Pacific ' ' j Northwest should be in a "posi tion to take on important new in dustrial loads." Beth Dittmer and Dr. Raver agreed, however, that by the end of the present decade, the North west will experience another pow er crisis unless large new proj ects are authorized immediately The present acute situation can be attributed directly. Dr. Raver said. to the failure of Congress to launch new projects in 1946. Panel discussions on two other controversial issues, fish vs. dams and upstream storage, will be heard Wednesday. The Advisory Council is made up of delegates from all over the Northwest. U.N. Overrides U.S., Soviet on News Issue UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. UPI The UN Assembly, over the opo- sition of the United States and Russia, adopted a draft conven tion Tuesday aimed at setting up an international right of correction for news. To come into force, the draft convention must be ratified by six nations. It was adopted in the As sembly, 25 for, 22 against, and 10 abstentions. Nations signing the convention would be obligated to release to news agencies and correspondents any corrective item sent It by an other signatory nation. Charles A. Sprague of the U.S., who publishes the Salem, Ore., Statesman, said the convention is likely to be a source of friction between nations. "We find in this convention an unlimited right to initiate a cor rection and no means to deter mine if the offending article or the correction itself is an accurate presentation of the facts," said Sprague. A. A. Sobolev of Russia said Russia opposed the convention be cause it would not stop propagan da. Sobolev plunked for a Soviet resolution which would ban publi cation of any article which could be deemed war propaganda. The Russian resolution was defeated 35 to 9, with 14 nations abstaining. U.S. Said Willing To Pay Settlement Of Iran Dispute WASHINGTON ") Well in formed sources said Tuesday the United States is willing to put up 100 million dollars to back a plan for settling the Anglo-Iranian oil dispute. These officials reported the Am erican government is ready to ad vance as much as 100 million into Iran's treasury as emergency fi nancial aid If Iran and Great Brit ain agree to cooperate in ending their long and bitter quarrel over nationalization of British oil prop erties in Iran. The money would be used to help restore Iran's financial equi librium. The strategic Middle Eastern country has been losing more than five million dollars a month In oil revenues since the British closed down their refin eries and pulled out. SWIFT RECUPERATION HUGO, Okla. UP) A 41 year old mother who gave birth to her 12th child Monday night was back from the hospital an hour and a half later performing household chores Mrs. August Williams, wife of a lumberjack, told her doctor: "I've got to get back and take care of the other nine still at home." Hospital Project Wins Vote Replacement of the old hospital building at Oregon State Hospital in Salem over a six-year period, at an estimated cost of $8,500,000, gained State Board of Control ap proval Tuesday. The first $3,500,000 will be asked for the 1953 Legislature, for a six- story structure including the east wing and a central building in tne rear to house patient - employes wards, auditorium, library, occu pational therapy and surgeries. In event the legislature approves this construction work will start late next spring. Construction during the 1955-57 biennium would call for rebuilding the south wing of the existing hos pital to provide six large wards and also add one story to the re cently constructed administration building. Cost of this construction, including demolition of the pres ent buildings, was estimated at $2,500,000. North Wing in 1957-59 Construction of the north wing of the hospital, also to cost $2, 500,000, is proposed during the 1957-59 biennium. Gov. McKay said the project was vital because the present hos pital building is a fire trap and should have been replaced many years ago. Secretary of State Earl T. New bry predicted the domiciliary hospital near Portland, approved by the voters at the last general election, eventually would be used for treatment of many types of patients. The cost of the domicil iary hospital was estimated at $3, 000,000 but no money was au thorized by the Voters. It will be up to the legislature to provide funds for this structure, officials said. Inmates Increasing Dr. Charles E. Bates, State Hos pital superintendent, said the number of patients is increasing rapidly. During the year ended July 1, Bates said, the hospital treated 4,000 patients, and h pre dicted this figure would be In creased to more than 5,000 the next biennium. During the last biennium 3,000 patients were treat ed. Present population of the hos pital Is 3100 patients. Voluntary admissions, Bates said, have increased 40 per cent. Other projects to be referred to the 1953 legislature, in the order of their priority, include a state intermediate instiution, $2,500,000; cottage for 100 inmates of Fair view Home for the Feeble Mind ed, $32,000; surgery and strong rooms for the Eastern Oregon Tu berculosis Hospital at The Dalles, $90,000, women's dormitory at the State Penitentiary, $250,000, and administration Building, kitchen and dining room at the State Blind School, $300,000.

CP Anoth er atomic test series In Nevada, possibly early in 1953, was indi cated Tuesday by an Atomic En ergy Commission announcement. The AEC said it was awarding the Reynolds Electrical and Engi neering Company, El Paso, Tex., a contract calling for maintenance, minor construction and scientific structural services at the Neva da Proving Grounds beginning Jan. 1. While the AEC has not official ly announced its next series here, America's atomic tests have fol lowed a general fall and spring pattern in recent years. Nuclear experiments were recently com pleted at Eniwetok; the last tests here -were conducted last spring. Parked Cars A run-away load of logs crash ed into three unoccupied cars at State and 12th Streets Tuesday morning, badly damaging two. The accident occurred about 9:20 o'clock when the rear end of a log truck-trailer broke loose from the front end as the vehicle was turning from State Street sputh onto 12th Street.

Milk Price Differential Finds Favor PORTLAND OR Most mem bers of the newly appointed ad visory committee on milk control legislation agreed at a meeting here Tuesday that milk bought in stores should cost less than home delivered milk. But there was disagreement on how the price differential should be accomplished. Samuel B. Weinstein, attorney for the State Board of Agriculture, suggested that the state give up control of retail store prices but maintain controls on wholesale prices to stores and home delivery prices. This would permit itorekeepers to sell at reduced prices by cut ting their margin of profit, he -said. The suggestion was opposed by some of the producer and distri butor members. They contended that the wholesale price should drop so the rtorekee r could con tinue to take his customary z-cent a quart i fit. Herbert Hardy of Safeway Stores, Inc., said the wholesale price could be reduced by econom ics made in wholesale distribution. Weinstein also proposed that the state be divided into four or five production rones to permit more frequent hearings on milk prices. He defended other aspects of the present milk control law in cluding its licensing policy. But Hardy criticized the law for what he said was deciding "where a distributor should be allowed to distribute." "Safeway was denied admission to the Salem market on the basis that an additional distributor would disrupt the market. Yet within 18 months a new distributor was allowed on that . market," he said. The committee, made up of ad visors and representatives of con sumer, distributor and producer in terests, is to meet again the State Board of Agriculture, in January, Chairman Marshall Dana reported.

Doctors Divide Tivo-DayOld Siamese Tivins CLEVELAND OH Two-day old girls who were Siamese twins for the first three hours of their lives were "doing fine" in separate in- cutators Tuesday. Doctors at Mt. Sinai Hospital drew the curtain of anonimity about them when their rare case became known but said "they're doing fine. They re eating rnd per forming normally." The twins were separated by surgery. At birth they were joined by a short band of flesh at the point where the chest and abdo men meet.' The three doctors who participated in the case emphas ized that the operation was pos sible because no vital oragns were concerned. It was not the first time surgery has been used successfully to sep arate Siamese twins, said a spokes man for the American Medical Association in Chicago. In none of the previous' cases of success ful surgery were any vital inter nal organs involved either, he add ed. The reason for the incubators was that the twins arrived about a month ahead of schedule- The first weighed five -. pounds, five ounces, the second four . pounds, 15 ounces.

The contract calls for farmers to pay for ir lgation water lust &a they do for electricity by tn amount used; j The 'contract, worked out by the commission, the Bureau of Rec lamation and Army Engineers, al lows farmers to contract for speci fied amounts of water, but does not give rights to water in a speci fic , reservoir. Nor will there be liens on the land as Is usual in irrigation districts. T The announcement came on the eve of the Willamette Basin Pro ject Committee's annual ; meeting at Salem, and the commission said it was a "forward step so import ant that it may mark the begin ning of a new chapter in Oregon history." An increase in production amounting to many ) r Uions of dollars a. year can 'be foreseen with a corresponding expansion of fruit and vegetable canneries and other industries based upon agri cultural products," the commission said. . . ! Col. Thomas Lipscomb, district Army Engineer, said; 60,000 acre feet of water would be available to farmers in 1953, and that more could be made available. Irriga tion aspects of the valley project are administered by the Bureau of Reclamation, but construction of the dams in the project were su pervised by Army Engineers. The basin commission estimated that about a third of the 500,000 basin project has been financed and built. Fern Ridge, Cottage Grove and Dor en a Dams hava been co- pleted. Detroit Dam is near completion and Lookout Poini is under construction. The commission estimated that a half-million acres of land in the valley will need irrigation to keep up with population growth and a a Increased need for food.
