for settling the vexing issue of
the fate of prisoneisof war de

be revised. The latest offer de

conditions of the old. Indian reso

it will -terminate the fighting,
permit the exchange of prison

we have several thousand Amer
icans languishing in Communist
prison camps; it will transfer to ,
the conference table such issues
as remain, where the penalty for
delay is not prolonging of war
fare. The United States must realize
that it is in charge as an agent
of United Nations, not as an- in
dividual country. Therefore, it
should give attention to the
views of other governments even
though their contribution may
not be large in proportion. The
British attitude has been ex
pressed by Prime Minister
Churchill, in very temperate
language. That is the ofici3'
viewpoint; but the expressions o?
Labor - Party Leader Attlee re
flects a considerable Tody of
opinkm which the United States
should not ignore. The extrem
ists abroad question our sin
cerity in the truce negotiations;
and our warm friends question
our skill in the conduct of the
negotiations.
It is premature to be debat
ing now the admission of China
to UN. or withdrawal of Reds
from Indochina, or the fate of
Formosa. Let us get the fight
ing stopped, on the conditions of
the Indian resolution, then de
cide how broad the political con
ference which follows should be.

Love, spring fever and the
threat of the slaughter house axe
overwhelmed Boris the Bull in
the wee hours Wednesday morn
ing and he decided to do some
thing about it.
Boris, who weighs in at a cool
2,000 pounds or so, made a break
for it about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday
from his stall at Valley Padring
Co. on Portland Road.
What did he have to lose? The
axe was scheduled to fall this
morning. And besides, in the
spring a young bull's fancy turns
to thoughts of love, too. .
An alert Keizer District house
wife first spotted Boris in her
yard. That was at 4 a.m.
About 5:30 a.m. George Meyers
of 3395 Willamette Dr., also in
the Keizer District was sleeping
peacefully when his house began
to shake and rattle.
Opens Curtains
He opened the curtains of his
large picture window and there
was Boris, licking the glass and
snorting and pawing up Meyers'
brand-new lawn.
Not content with one hole,
Boris moved to another section of
the lawn and dug up some more
earth.
About this time Meyers put in
a quick call to the sheriffs of
fice and Deputy Buane Lehr, no
farmer, came on the run.
But it was too late. Boris had
moved to new grounds, via some
strawberry plants.
Said a harried Lehr: "I tracked
that beast for about four hours
before catching up with him. He
gave me several sharp looks
thank goodness he didn't have
horns."
Joins Bull Hunt
By now Ervin H. Ward, county
dog control officer, (should be
bull control) and three men of
Valley Packing Co. joined the
bull hunt"
Boris showed up next and
finally at the farm yard of
Mrs. W. O. Pounds, 635 W. Chem
awa Road. She coaxed Bons into
a corral ana iinauy me ouu
a ii jlI
hunters arrived. It was now
close to 10 a.m.
Playing on Bons love interest,
two cows were used A or bait to
get Boris into the barn. The rest
was easy. The poor bum steer was
loaded into a truck and taken
home.
Boris got the axe this morning.
Oswald West
80 Years Old
PORTLAND UTi Oswald West,
Democratic governor of Oregon
from 1911 to 1915. celebrated his
80th birthday quietly at his home
here Wednesday.
West refused to run for office
after his term as governor but has
been active in politics since then.
Four years ago he suffered a
heart attack, and his speech has
been somewhat affected by a
stroke. However, he continues to
express himself on various issues.
The sharp-ton gued West took a
gloomy view of things on his birth
day. He said, "People seem to
have gone nuts," and there isn't
as much happiness around as
there ought to be.

missioners said the entire project
was progressing "very satisfac

car caravan from keeping on the
unfinished route all the way from
Portland to Salem but it was par
alleled as closely as possible.
One stop was just west of Wood

per cent limit, made a number of
mostly minor reductions and
made some estimates of reve
nues which had not been fig
ured previously in order to reach
a balance.
One of the cuts occurred in
the salary field, where a number
of departments had requested
larger boosts than those granted.

Senators Irate Over Growing
British Trade with Red China
By ED CREAGH
WASHINGTON . (jTVSenate investigators heard with indigna
tion Wednesday that Britain and other U. S. Allies have "tremend
ously" steppel up trading with Red China. They called on President
Eisenhower to state clearly this country's attitude toward such trade.
Chairman McCarthy (R-Wis) and other members of then investi
gations subcommittee spoke out after .hearing a committee staff
member testify that:
At least one hundred British and
62 other Western-flag ships were
trading with the Chinese Commu
nists in the first three months of
this year although many of the
countries involved are fighting the
Chinese Reds in Korea.
Two British-owned ships were
used to transport Communist
troops along the Chinese coast and
later were hired to transport goods
for this country's Mutual Security
Administration.
Britain's exports to Red China
jumped from $334,000 in the first
two months of 1952 to $5,750,000 in
the first two months of this year
an increase of about 1,700 per cent
This testimony came from As
sistant Counsel Robert F.Kennedy,
a brother of Sen. Kennedy CD-
Mass). The witness said much of
his information came from the U.
S Office of Naval Intelligence.
McCarthy and some of his fellow
investigators hit the ceiling. The
Wisconsin lawmaker said such
"aid to Red China more than off
sets any military contribution the
British have made" in the Korean
War.
"It is unheard of in the history
of the world," McCarthy declared,
"for a country to be transporting
the troops that are killing its own
soldiers."
Sen. Symington (D-Mo.) said he
was exercised, too, about an ap
parent difference of opinion be
tween Secretary of Defense Wilson
and the State Department over
American policy toward Vestern
trade with the Chinese Reds.
He proposed that McCarthy
write Eisenhower and ask for a
"clearing up" of the matter and
also of what Symington called an
"obvious subterfuge" by which
this government keeps secret the
nature of some trade items it re
gards as strategic but its Allies do
not consider strategic.
"That is an excellent sugges
tion." McCarthy said, adding he
would write the letter immediate
ly.
This development came after a
second witness, John M, Leddy,
deputy assistant secretary of state.
said Secretary Dulles favors stop
ping Western trade with China ex
cept for transactions "which ap
pear to have a net security ad
vantage to the free world.
Leddy gave as an example the
Japanese sending seaweed to Chi
na and getting iron in return.
McCarthy contended, however.
that Wilson has told the committee
any exports to the Chinese Com
munists may strengthen their war
potential.
A British embassy spokesman
said Wednesday's "accusations
will no doubt be considered in
London." He said he wished to
emphasize that "strict control on
the carriage of strategic materials
from British territories to China
have been in effect for two year.

The CAA has announced that

There has been practically no
frost injury this spring to the
strawberries. The rains so far

A few years ago, a couple of
dustings and one or two baitings

problems, but growers said Wed

Spraying, dusting, and other con
trol measures are carried on prac

Insects and diseases.
In the various strawberry dis

County Status
For Hawaii,
Alaska Asked
WASHINGTON UP) Solution el
Hawaii's ' statehood problem by
making the territory a county of
California was suggested Wednes
day by Sen. Smathers (D-Fla.).
At the 'same time,' he said the
inhabited areas of Alaska could
become a county of Washington
State.
Some years ago. Sen. Butler (R
Neb.) suggested that Hawaii might
be made a county of California, but
the idea has never been taken seri
ously.
Smathers is scheduled
to lead
the opposition when the Senate In
