The ambassador, Dr. Leopoldo Bravo, said he had talked Saturday night with the Soviet leader zor discussed only generally and the nprx8l of the secrecy provision affecting recipients of old age as sistant is soueht in a bill intro duced in the Assembly. The hope i. that TMhlieitv wilL as the Capi- taUournal says, "drive chiselers and unworthies off the welfare i-niis " That naner concludes: "In the interest of the heavily burden ed taxpayers of Oregon this bill should be given approval by the Assembly " There is even talk of a saving of 10 per cent jn old age assistance costs.. Since the Congress changed the law to deny aid to states refusing to keep its welfare information secret eight states have acted to open lists for .inspection as to and amounts received. It is much too early to determine what savings the change produces. The latest summary I have seen is one of the Tax Foundation, New York, issued last month. This tax conscious organization reports that one state had 289 cases closed at-clients' request in less than a year after secrecy was re moved, but another state reported only four closures in two months. Quoting: - -1 - - "Illinois notes no appreciable reduction in caseload and applica tions following public inspection. but cites the advantage ox in creased public confidence in the Integrity of the rolls."

Early Sunday police recovered the body of David Earl Deneau of nearby Nankin Township from -an icy pool at the bottom ox ine pit. The victim's brother. Bruce, 13, told his mother, Mrs. Ernest Den eau, after. he had made a pact with another playmate. Dale Worthington, 8, to say nothing in fear that they would be blamed. Bruce said the boys had been playing in a pit scooped out for the disposal of rubbish. Suddenly a" chunk of frozen dirt and sand slipped away from the top of the excavation. It struck David and knocked him into the foot-deep water.- His playmates scrambled down to lift the frozen mass that pinned their chum. It was too heavy. A few moments later, David's head disappeared below ; the icy surface. . Bruce and Dale talked it over. "We were afraid," Bruce said. 'We thought we would be blamed. We thought they would electrocute us or. something like that." - When David failed to return that night, his mother awakened Bruce, who said: "He's in the water."

Moscow papers today front-paged the Stalin-Bravo talk. Bravo said he believed his coun try and Russia could expand their economic relations greatly. "I gave the generalissimo the cordial greetings of the president of the Argentine Republic, Army uen. Juan Peron, the envoy said, "and in his name I expressed a wish ' for strengthening - relations existing between the Soviet Union and the Argentine republic in the economic field." Gesture Siraifleant Considerable significance may be attached to Stalin's gesture in see ing the Argentine ambassador. It indicates Soviet interest in broad ening - relations between . the two countries. This probably will be manifest first in stepping up Russian-Argentine trade between the two coun tries. The Soviet Union and Argentina have done business in the past, but it has been largely on a barter basis. (Trade relations between Russia and the Western Hemisphere gen erally have been tightly restricted in reecnt years. U. S.-Russian trade has approached the vanishing point because of U. S. policy against sending strategic goods be- nina tne iron uurtain. On the other hand, U. S.-Argen-tine relations also have been strained. The new U. S. secretary of State. John Foster Dulles, told the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee prior to his confirmation that there were indications fascism was spreading from Argentina to other Latin American countries.) Bravo said he had particularly called Stalin's attention to the fact that the Soviet ambassador to Ar gentina had just received a memor andum in Buenos Aires showing products which the Argentines want to buy and sell. Trade Expected Bravo explained that Argentina would like to sell to the U. S. S. R. such gooods as leather, hides, wool and vegetable oils, buying in return agricultural machinery of all kinds, railway equipment, and probably petroleum products. "The generalissimo, the envoy said, "appeared interested in this (list) and indicated the Soviet Un ion wants to do business with for eign countries." Bravo said he was not familiar with the Kremlin but had the im pression he was in Stalin's private office. The envoy stressed how vig orous he thought Stalin looked. This firsthand impression con firmed the way Stalin appeared at his last public appearance Jan. 12 at a concert by visiting Polish ar tists at the Bolshoi Theater.

A U. S. Far East Navy head quarters announcement said the U. S.

The statement did not say what type of guided missiles . the ships could direct at the Reds, nor did the Navy say definitely the ships would come to the Far East.

Th Oregon StcrtMman, Salnu Flowers Bloom; Snow Sp arse Lawns were mowed, trees prun-r ed and cars washed Sunday, dur ing February sunshine - which warmed Salem to 53 degrees, but night temperatures sank to 21 degrees shortly after 11 pan. U. S. Weathermen predicted that temperatures might drop to as low as 29 degrees during the early morning hours Monday, but they anticipated early morning fog would keep it from getting colder. The next two days were slated by weathermen to be cold with fog in the' mornings and warmer with sunshine in the aft ernoons. Temperatures -were expected-to be about the same as Sundays. Rush of Flowers Sunday's first hint of spring followed an unusually early rush of flowers as well as the pre springtime roadful of nature-see ing Sunday drivers, state jrouce reported highways were generous ly abounding with traffic, but no serious accidents occurred. The valley was sharing one of the mildest winter's in a decade with the North Santiam country, usually deeply laden this time of year with snow and ice. xne ue-troit-Idanha area recorded a January rainfall record of 27.09 inches, but reported another near record in the lack of snow for the rwinter. Thusfar only 12 inches of snow has been recorded at De troit which had 122 inches of snow in January of 1950. Mild in Mountains Mild weather has been notice able in the Cascade Mountain areas too, because of the absence of deer and other wiidiue normal ly driven to lower levels by hun ger. Natural zorage conditions are excellent this' year with little or no snow on higher elevations of the North Santiam, Breitenbush and Little North Fork watersheds. Santiam Canyon residents too, have reported early shrubs ana soring bulbs several weexs aneaa of schedule as they nave oeen in the Willamette Valley. One Salem Route 1 resident reported her camellia bush had been in bloom since November. Weathermen warned Sunday that the fair weather may bring cold weather also and some danger to far advanced flowers and ' shrubs. Through Sunday, however, 1953 temperatures con tinued to range far above nor mal. Daily averages through the first eight days ox February ranged from 4 to 13 degrees over normal for the period. Strong Winds California ; LOS ANGELES (A On the heels of a midwinter hot spell strong and gusty winds hit South ern California Sunday, toppling scores of trees, littering streets with debris and in some sections breaking plate windows' and. rip ping out power lines. i After several .warm days, with the temperature hitting 85 Satur day, winds bore down - from the North-and Northwest Sunday and storm warnings were up along the Southern California Coast. , The indication that the guided missile warships might be added to the Seventh Fleet's striking power was contained in an account of the Navy's part in the Korean War. The announcement said: t i "At least four new type ships could be added-to the Seventh Fleet in the not too distant future to ini tiate guided missile warfare should the war situation require their use.
