Chamber board members at a
Senator Hoteh meeting Wednes
day night said they were concern
ed over reports that tourists can't

Salt Lake City which has desig
nated a city block of parking re
stricted to cars bearing out-of-state
licenses.
The chamber also started plans
for helping the Salem Senators
sell more stocks; for moving to
new office space, probably on

Dental School
Controversy
Still Unsolved
State 'officials Wednesday gave
the opinion that the state emer
gency board cannot solve the con
troversy involving construction of
the new state dental college la
Portland, as suggested by mem
bers of the state board of higher
education in Portland Tuesday.
The joint ways and means com
mittee of the recent legislature
a proved an approbation of $2,
200,000 for construction of a new
dental college but the board of
higher education later was ad-,
vised that receipts from the sale
of the present dental school prop
erty, estimated at $300,000, was
included in the appropriation.
Upon receipt of this information,
the higher board of education
temporarily abandoned going
ahead with the project
Members of the board of higher
education said they would confer
with the state emergency board.
Doubt was expressed here as
to whether the emergency board
has authority to review the ac
tion of the ways and means com
mittee so far as the apropria
tion for construction of the den
tal college is concerned.
"It is a certainty," Harold Phil
lipi, secretary of the emergency
board said, "that the emergency
board cannot appropriate any
substantial amount of money for
dental school construction or any
other source until the new $1,
000,000 emergency board appro
priation becomes effective on July
1.
There is only $40,000 in the
current state emergency board
fund.
Ex-PW Tells
Of 2 Men From
Northwest
TOKYO OH Two Pacific North
west men were among 80 that a
corporal fresh from a North Ko
rean Drison camp said Thursday
he left behind "in pretty good
shape."
Cpl. Everett W. Ritenour, si,
Woodstock. Va.. said the 80 Ameri
can servicemen wrote their names
and addresses in a notebook be
fore he departed from Red prison
camp No. 5 on the Yalu River.
Ritenour said the men gave him
their names so he could notify
relatives they were still alive.
Most had already been reported
prisoners of the Communists.
A check of the official prisoner
list turned over to the U tiled Na
tions Dec. 20, 1951, showed most
of them to be included.
Ritenour was among the Ameri
cans repatriated by the Reds.
Among the 80 left behind were
PFC Ray Stonesifer, Route 2, Box
403, North Bend, Ore., and Otho
G. Bell, son of Otho G. Bell Sr.,
Route 5, Box 292. Olympia, Wash.
Bell was with the U. S. Second
Division when he was taken pris
oner. His wife, Jewel, lives at thl
same address.
3 -Dimension
Video Seen in
Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES (J1 Television
came up with three dimension pic
tures Wednesday in this heart of
3-D conscious movieland but they
appeared to offer little threat yet
to the theater version.
A telecast in 3-D was made from
the American Broadcasting Com
pany's station, KECA-TV, here and
received on special-type sets that
projected polarized images on a
3x 4-foot screen. Viewers had to
wear special glasses of the same
type used for 3-D movies to get
the illusion of depth.
Officials of ABC, a division of
American Broadcasting - Para
mount Theaters Inc., emphasized
the demonstration was merely to
show the progress that had been
made in 3-D video research. They
said much 'more development re
mained before it would be practi
cal for the home set.
Although impressive in its over
all effect, the showing had its bad
moments, like most early experi
mental demonstrations, and was
hardly comparable to the full-color,
big-screen 3-D movie now mak
ing a big hit with the public
throughout- the country.
The pictures were in black and
white but ABC officials said the
method would work equally well
in color TV,.
Frank Marx, ABC engineering
vice president, added that the
method was merely one of several
on which resea.cn was being con
ducted.

Refusesto .
Invite Morse
WASHINGTON W Sen. Morse
of Oregon wasn't invited to attend
a dinner given by the Portland,
Ore., Chamber of Commerce Tues
day night, its president said
Wednesday, because "be wouldn't
fit into that group."
Carvel Linden of Portland, cham
ber president, told a newsman the
dinner was actually a 'private
party," not a dmuer for the
congressional delegation.
Other members of the Oregon
congressional delegation were in
vited and attended. Linden said,
along with other guests.
Asked why the chamber had not
invited Morse, Linden said:
"He was not invited because it
was felt his presence might prove
embarrassing to other guests."
He declined to elaborate or to
identify the guests whom the
guests whom the senator might
"embarrass."
The Associated Press could not
reach Morse for comment He was
at Gary, Ind., to speak at a meet
ing of the Jewish Welfare Federa
tion. The Oregonian in Portland said
it was able to reach Morse by
telephone at Gary, and quoted him
as saying, "I suppose I wasn't
there because I'm not a Republi
can." The newspaper also quoted
Morse as saying he had learned
to pay no attention to pettyness.
International
Oscar Won by
Shirley Booth
CANNES, France (J) Ameri
can actress Shirley Booth Wednes
day night won what amounts to
an international Oscar for her Hol
lywood Oscar winning perform
ance in "Come Back Little Sheba."
The world title of best actress
was awarded at the climax of
Cannes' Sixth International Film
Festival.
Miss Booth now is doing a stage
play, "The Time of the Cockoo,"
in New York.
The judges here ruled that in
sheba" she had given the best
performance by any actress in
films shown at the festival.
A controversial French movie,
Le Salaire de la Peur" (The
Wages of Fear) won the grand
prize of the festival.
The picture tells the story of an
American oil company's operations
in Brazil. It opened the festival
two weeks ago and had been re
garded as a contender for top
honors.
The hero is a truck driver whose
cargo is explosives. American film
stars and directors here for the
festival criticized it for portraying
an American oil company boss as
a heartless and calculating individ
ual. They called the film anti
American and pro-Communist.
"Come Back Little Sheba" was
adjudged the best dramatic film
shown here.
Another American film, "Lili"
received special mention for the
charm of its presentation. In it a
young girl, played br Jieslie Caron,
falls in love with a puppeteer.

Dulles Notifies
r,e4Aid
Muste Gut"
' By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON (A - Secretary
of State Dulles said Wednesday
night he has notified the European
Allies that the "crutch" of U.S,
economic aid should be thrown
away now although this (country
will continue to spend "substan
tial sums' jrith them.
In a report to the nation, over
radio and television networks. Dul
les said the Europeans "do not
need to anticipate too great re
duction in their dollar income."
'But our government. he said,
"will be specifically getting, for
tie dollars it spends abroad, what
may enable it to save in other se
curity measures and thus, on bal
ance, get more security for less
money."
The idea that the Eisenhower
administration has arranged to
provide greater Atlantic Alliance
defenses at lower cost forms the
theme of Dulles' report on the
meeting in Paris last week of the
North Atlantic Treaty Council and
on' his talks with British, French
and other European officials.
Council Praised
He declared the Council had ac
complished these things:
L Provided for a steady buildup
Western European defenses
aimed at improving existing forc
es as well as adding some new
strength. He said the increase in
NATO's "combat effectiveness"
this year will be 30 per cent. At
the same time, he said, the "ex
cessive" economic strain on the
United States and Allied countries
will be relieved. ,
2. Unanimously adopted a reso
lution calling for prompt creation
of a European Defense Communi
ty within which West Germny
would be armed. Dulles said the
lack of German forces causes a
"big gap" in the very center- of
Europe's defense which "cannot
be made good by any effort, how
ever great, put forward by the
other countries."
Te Develop Bases
3. Agreed on a three year pro
gram for developing airfields and
other military facilities in the Wes
tern European countries which
should make NATO forces "much
more effective and secure.'
4. Studied "the increased pow
er" which new tactical weapons
77 presumably atomic weapons can
give to the defense of Europe. He
added that the United States is
starting the training of some Al
lied officers "in these matters
with, due regard to security."
Dulles said that the 50 divisions
which Allied nations have in West
ern Europe plus 25 more in Greece
and Turkey already provide "a de
terrent to aggression" althouth Eu
rope is not yet fully secure.
"It is no longer a 'pushover,
he said, "so weak -that it is a
temptation to others to seize it by
an act of war."
Regarding the prospective re
duction in aid to Europe, Dulles
made clear that he was talking
about general economic aid which
some people, he said, call a "hand
out." However, he declared that
an unfair term because the Unit
ed States has obtained benefits
from it
The point, Dulles said, 'is that
"outright grants x x x are a kind
of crutch which may be needed
from time to time" but which
ought to be thrown away as soon
as economic health has been re
stored. McKay Requests
House Restore

WASHINGTON WV Secretary
of Interior McKay Wednesday
asked the Senate to restore 11 mil
lion dollars slashed by the House
from the Eisenhower budget for

tion. The revised Eisenhower propos
als for Bonneville for the year be
ginning July 1 were $54,300,000, of
which 147,200,00a would go for con
struction and $7,200,000 for opera
tion and. maintenance.

Court Warns
Persons Who
Contest Wills
A word of warning was handed
down by the Oregon Supreme
Court Wednesday to those who
would contest the wills of. dead
persons.
Upholding a Polk County de
cision in which the will of the
late Verd Hill was sustained, the
court declared that Hill was men
tally sound when he gave a big
share of his $87,000 estate to Con
stance J. Henderson, a niece.
Verda Frances Hill, of Inde
pendence, a daughter, sued the
niece in an effort to break the
wilL
She charged the niece exer
cised undue influence on Hill,
who died Dec 18, 1950, at the
age of 74. She also charged that
her father was mentally unsound.
Justice Harold J. Warner wrote
the opinion, saying:
"One who ventures to attack
the validity of a will assumes a
heavy legal and moral respon
sibility. Win or lose, family skel
etons must be unabashedly
brought forth from their secret
closets for intimate exposure and
the inspection of all who may be
curious.
"Even though the court may
find the charges untrue, as here,
there still may linger a shadow
of uncertainty as to the mental
ity of some previously esteemed
person who may thereafter be
remembered as weak instead of
strong in character or in mind,
with consequent embarrassment
and heartache for those who had
cherished his memory."
The opinion upheald Circuit
Judge Arlie G. Walker of Polk
County.
Missing GIs
Alive in Red
Prison Camps
HONOLULU HI A, returning
American prisoner of war told
Army authorities in Hawaii Tues
day night that 50 Americans listed
as missing or dead were actually
alive and well in Communist pris
on camps.
The repatriate, a member of the
first group of 35 sick and wounded
homeward bound from Korea, told
Army intelligence agents he had
memorized the names aid ad
dresses of all 50 men.
The Army confirmed the report
but declined to release the pris
oner's name or the names of his
50 fellow prisoners. An Army
spokesman explained that use of
the names "might lead to reprisals
against men still in Communist
hands."

Defense Cuts
- WASHINGTON. President
Eisenhower pledged Wednesday
night his administration will cut
defense spending at the earliest
possible moment but he declared:
"there is nothing no price
that is too great to pay for the
preservation of our liberties."
Eisenhower spoke at a dinner
meeting, of the United f States
Chamber of Commerce on the eve
of .a news conference at which be
is to detail his program of military
and foreign aid spending. !
In a nine minute off-the-cuff talk!,
the President said both Congress
and the executive branch of the
government are determined to pro
vide "effectiveness, efficiency and
economy" in the national defense.
There is "no excuse for a wasted
penny," he declared. ,
At the same time, Eisenhower
said, he will never consent to cut
ting the level of American de
fenses below the point of safety.
Earlier Wednesday, the ! cham
ber endorsed a strong "trade, not
aid" policy and called on the gov
ernment to halt Its program of
foreign economic assistance.
The chamber declared itself in
favor of renewal of the Trade
Agreements Act, tariff reduction
and repeal of "Boy American" leg
islation, saying expended trade can
make up Europe's dollar deficit in
steed of tax dollars.
There is a difference between
economic aid and military aid. The
latter provides weapons of war for
countries allied with the U.S.
against communism; ;
A crowd of more than 2,000, in
cluding many high government of
ficials, heard Eisenhower declare
also that a healthy system of in
ternational trade "is the material
foundation of our whole foreign pol
icy." 1
Saying the very security t of the
nation depends upon trade, the
President cited the need of the
steel industry for imports as evi
dence that "we must trade with
others or we can not exist"
