"Many thousands of dollars must have been spent on equipment for the secret Communist printing plants," said Sen. Welker (R-Ida), who directed the probe. "There is strong evidence that the financing was supplied, almost wholly, from Moscow and through the diplomatic agencies of the So viet satellites," Welker added.

The main speakers on this topic were Albert Ullman, Baker, Ore., president of the Idaho-Oregon Hells Canyon Association, Elmer McClure, Portland, state grange master, and Richard Mueller, pres ident of the Oregon Farmers' Union. Delegates adopted a resolution calling for development of the re gion through low cost hydro-electric power. The convention unanimously ap proved a resolution opposing the appointment of State Sen. Warren Gill of Lebanon as U. S. Attorney. The CIO accused Gill of being op posed to equal civil rights to mi nority groups. Paper Reports Beria's Plan For Freedom (Story also on page one.) SAN DIEGO. Calif UFi The San Diego Union said Sunday it has received a detailed plan under which a man representing himself as Lavrenty P. Beria is willing to place himself in the hands of the United States government. In a copyrighted article, the pa per said the plan was forwarded to it by an intermediary in personal contact with the supposed Beria and three other former top Com munists fugitives from Russia. They w ere reported to be in "a deep southern country." The Union said it was unable to determine at this point whether the information is genuine or a hoax. The l"nim said the intermediary from whom it received the plan was an acjent who acted on behalf of the United Slates government, including the Senate investigating subcommittee headed by Sen. Mc Carthy R-Yis. It stated that it was pledged to secrecy about details of the plan and the country in which the sup posed fugitives were contacted. The man representing himself as Beria was described as ready to exchange information about the in ner workings of the Soviet govern ment for asylum for himself and three companions in the United States. Dike Bursts, Damaging Huge Howard Hughes Flying Boat SAN PEDRO. Calif. I An accident to Howard Hughes giant flying boat, disclosed Sunday, caused damage which Hughes and his engineers estimated at more than 5 million dollars. A Hughes spokesman said the mishap occurred early Friday at the Hughes hangar and drydock on nearby Terminal Island but Hughes would not permit disclosure of it until he had made a personal inspection with engineers. An earthen dike on nearby prop erty burst, the spokesman said, spilling tons of mud, silt and water into the hangar and drydock. The huge aircraft was lifted out of its dock and crushed against adjacent structures. The dike bad been built by a dredging company to retain mate rial pumped from the harbor bot tom to an artificial lake filled to a height greater than the surround ing area. The drydock was filled to a depth of 30 feet Hughes' shops, offices and hangar were flooded. Hughes and his engineers said the flying boat's wings, hull, eight en Sine nacelles, ailerons, horizontal stabilizer, rudder, and hydraulic sions used by his friend and col league. Dr. Albert Einstein, at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N. J. Other scientists here cautiously praised the theory after first hear ing it explained Saturday. "It is very promising," said Dr. Hideki Yukawa, Japan's famed Nobel Prize winner. His discovery of the unsuspected meson in the derground printing facilities and illegal propaganda, the Senate in ternal security subcommittee rec ommended: 1. That Communist and Communist-front organizations required by the Internal Security Act to register with the attorney general be required also to list all their printing equipment. So far no organizations have reg istered under the act, passed in 1930, although the Communist Party has been ordered to do so after a protracted hearing before the Subversive Activities Control Board. The party has appealed the order to the courts. 2. That all diplomatic and con sular officers in this country who prepare or disseminate political propaganda be required to register under the Foreign Agents Regis tration Act Requires Filing The act not only is designed to disclose such agents but it also re quires them to file and correctly label political propaganda which they send out in this country. Diplomatic and consular officers are exempt under present law so long as they engage only in activi ties recognized by the State De partment as within the scope of their duties. The subcommittee said that un der a March, 1947, ruling of the State Department, issued by the then acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson. informational activ ities were held to be within the proper functions of diplomatic and consular officers. As a result, the subcommittee added, "much of the Communist propaganda activities in this coun try have been operated increasing ly by diplomatic and consular of ficers in order to avoid the regis tration and labeling requirements of the Foreign Agents Registration Act." Chairman Jenner (R-Ind) said testimony taken by the subcom mittee clearly showed "that loop holes in our security laws allow the Communist conspirators to flood the United States in peace time with tons of propaganda and to prepare secret printing plants for continuing their propaganda activities in case of war." 3 Injured in 3 -Car Wreck At Deweyville Statesman Newt Scrrlc BROOKS A three-car crash Sunday night at Deweyville, about three miles north of here on Highway 99-E, resulted in injur ies to three people and consider able damage to all vehicles. Taken to Salem Memorial Hos pital by Willamette Ambulance j Service were Mrs. Jean K. Taylor, 47, oi westport, ure.; Mrs. Bon nie Ornby and her husband, George, both of Portland. Mrs. Taylor sustained a fractured leg and lacerations; Mrs. Ornby lacer ations and shock, and Mr. Ornby several deep lacerations of the scalp. All were considered "fair" at the hospital at midnight. State police records indicate the accident occurred when a northbound pickup truck driven by Donald P. Dunn, . Silverton, turned off the highway at Dewey ville. The truck was hit from be hind by a car driven by Dwight Wadsworth, Portland. The Wads worth auto was in turn struck by the car driven by Taylor. Police arrested Wadsworth and a passenger, Leroy McDoolin, Portland, on charges of drunk on a public highway. and mechanical, control systems were damaged. They estimated that it will re quire weeks to remove the residue and more than a year to repair damage to the flying boat. The flying boat, originally an 18 million dollar government project, was flown once, by Hughes on Nov. 2, 1947. for about a mile at 70 feet altitude over the water. Ever since Hughes has made changes and improvements on the control system, engines and other vital parts. In recent months eight new engines have been installed. Hughes has indicated that, after final inspections, there would be a new launching and taxi and flight tests next month. Hughes says he has put 23 millions of his own mon ey into t flying boat, ownership of which still rests with the Re construction Finance Corporation. of atomic nucleus led to today's tre mendous mystery of multiple atom ic particles. rwm Kinds of Mesons Prof. Robert E. Marshak. of the Tjniversity of Rochester, N. Y who broadened Yukawa's theory by finding there were at least two kinds of mesons also was interest ed. - I "This seems to me the most striking development in the con ference so far," he said. I Dr. R. P. Ferynman, physics professor at the California Insti tute of Technology, said simply, "I think Pais has got something there." Different States. I "The shortest possible descrip tion of the theory is to call it an attempt to explain the large num ber of particles in the nucleus not as different forms in themselves but as different states of one form. "If it is correct it would bring a great simplicity to our theories of the nucleus and this is one rea son it has appeal to many of the physicists. For hundreds of years, we have learned that the great truths of nature are usually ex plained in classically simple ways." . As for the framework of the theory. Prof. Pais said: ; "It seems necessary in my theory to extend the usual space-time de scription and, in a very -abstract sense, one may say that a higher dimensional frame of description is necessary. i "In my theory, this means six dimensions." Four Dimensions Einstein's theory employed four dimensions, usually thought of as the three common ones of length, breadth and thickness plus .time as the fourth dimension." "The type of mathematics called for here," Prof. Pais said, "seems to be a six dimensional manifold with geometrical properties of the Riemannian type." i Georg F. B. Riemann, a German mathematician of the last century, originated a non-Euclidean system of geometry used to explain many abstract physical theories. U. S. Jersey Raisers Convene Prior to Cattle Sale Today By LILLIE L. MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman Jersey cattle folk from throughout the United States gathered Sunday night at the Marion Hotel for their annual Your Oppor tunity Sale get-together. The sale itself will be held at the State Fairgrounds today, starting at 12:30 noon. This is the fifth of these sales held in Oregon, the four previous ones all held at the Pacific International Livestock Wreck Near Boyer Involves 4 Automobiles Statesman Newi Sarvte BOYER A fourar smashup about two miles west of here Sun day evening resulted in consider able damage to all autos concern ed but no serious injury to any of the occupants. Investigating state police re constructed the accident this way: i A car driven by Jessie Leroy Boothe, Stayton, was parked alongside the highway awaiting a tow car after having a motor driven by L. W. Brynelson, 4595 State St., Salem, struck the Boothe auto and bounced into the highway. The Brynelson auto was then hit by one driven by Clifford Ver non Bride, Sheridan, which in turn was struck by a car driven by Lewis Miller Hackworth, Day ton. ; Traffic was routed around the debris of the cars and ambu lances were called from McMinn ville and Grand Ronde. Several of the many occupants of all four cars were treated by ambulance men for lacerations. Taken to McMinnville Hospital were Rog er and Luther Hackworth, young Sons of Lewis Hackworth. The two boys were treated and re leased from the hospital.

New Shewing Open f :45 "DREAM WIFE Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr Technicolor Co-Hit "Girts of Pleasure Island" Don Taylor, Dorothy Bromley vmmm Atom Physicist Prof. Pals, tracing the recent his tory of nuclear physics down to his theory, said that as late as World War II: "We had a small number of particles and there was hope that at ' last we had found the funda mental building stones of matter that all properties of matter and the earth and in the stars and in cosmic rays could be'undersood by a study of these particles. New P.Tt?Is Found "But in 1947, there came a radi cal change. A great number of new particles bean to be discov ered. This continued until they now amount to a couple of dozens and we suspect there may be even more than we have found. "One of the greatest problems in physics, perhaps the greatest, is to understand this great variety and to find some regularities in a sort of "periodic system." "Without some such system, we are almost as helpless in explain ing the nuclear reactions as chem ists were heirless in their o-ti field before the chemical periodic table was found. Fonda men t-1 System "The work we are doing is to attempt the beginning of under standing for the existence of a great variety of these particles and to reduce them to a more funda mental object or system, that can. make them appear as many dif ferent forms of a similar thing. "In an abstract sense. I would suppose that certain groups of particles can actually be consid ered as different states of a more fundamental thing." That, he said, calls for "a higher dimensional frame of description." Despite the interest in his theory. Prof. Pais said he did not regard it yet as "in the best possible form" but only as "the first mod est step toward something prom ising." He said one of the main reasons for revealing it now was to throw it into the main stream of scien tific thought to see what other phy sicists may do to extend or de velop it. Exposition grounds in Portland. Sponsors said Sunday night that if this proves successful here, the sale will likely be moved to Salem permanently. Ross Wurm, editor of the West ern Dairy Journal, Los Angeles, was in charge of the Sunday night party and is managing the Monday sale. Most of the visitors had viewed the cattle, stationed at the fairgrounds Sunday after noon. Some of the cattle had been brought in Thursday and a con stant string of visitors had been viewing them. Tobacco Auctioneer Coming the greatest distance to attend the affair was Curtis Hob son of Marlu Farms near New York City. Col. Tom McCord of Montgomery, Ala., widely known tobacco auctioneer, "Who will cry the Monday event, was present Sunday night and entertained with some of his southern stories. R. Knode Brown, publisher of the Jersey Bulletin, Indianapolis, Ind., who came out to' attend the Monday sale, also attended the Sunday night party. Others noted among the guests were A. Lewis Oswald of Hutchison, Kansas; Howard and Ruby Lamb of Bend, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Simonson of Corvallis, Mr. and Mrs. .Joe Sawyer of Gait, Calif., Merritt Nash, Seattle, secretary of the Independent Milk Producers of Washington, and also a Jersey breeder; Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Gross and Ernest McIlvAma of Vancouver, Wash.; Chester EUiff, owner of Victory Jersey Farm, Tulia, Texas; Ronnie Carr of Tu lare, Calif.; Neal Miller, Wood burn, president of the Oregon Jersey Cattle Club, and Mrs. Miller. At Brock Home The Marion County Jersey Cat tle Club held its September meet ing Sunday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Brock, 4345 Center. St Top business item was the county's nomination of state officers to be elected by mail prior to December. Marion Coun ty's choice was Joe Ridge, Inde pendence, 'for president; L. S. Lorenzen, Dayton, vice president; Ed Blinkhorn, Oregon City,. treas urer and Mrs. Charles Couche, Sherwood, treasurer.

OF DOBIE GILLIS" Soviet Silent Recently on .i Beria Trial (Story also on page one) ' WASHINGTON (JP) i A high Senate source supported and another unnamed ; government official cast doubt on the sup posed escape of Lavrenty Beria from Russia.--, The Senate source predicted the State Department would issue a statement3 on the matter "in the very near future," A State Depart ment spokesman said he did not know anything about the Beria case. ' There has been no announcement of Beria's trial or execution, and in recent weeks bis name has not been mentioned by the Soviet press or radio. This has led to a belief in some quarters here that he may already have been executed. . The Senate source said a trusted agent of the investigations subcom mittee, which is headed by Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis), has flown to a "neutral, non-Communist country in Europe, talked with the fugitive and reported that he is convinced the man is Beria. McCarthy Silent "I would be the most surprised man in, the world if it is true," commented the other high source. McCarthy refused to be quoted on the matter at all. Unfolding the fantastic tale, the Senate source said McCarthy's agents have been in contact with the fugitive for about a month. He also provided these details, which have not been confirmed, either of ficially or unofficially, in any other branch of the governmsnt: The man representing himself as Beria escaped with three aides in an airplane. Lots of Protection The man has "plenty of protec tion so far" in his hideaway. If he is given refuge in the Unit ed States he will talk only with McCarthy or Vice President Nixon. He has not broken with Commun ism, but is willing to -talk to re venge himself against his political enemies in Russia. It is reported that Communist agents iff Mexico City, still loyal to Beria, have been helpful in pro moting the idea of an American asylum for him. Aim at. South America If the man can't get into the United States he will try to reach some South American country. The Senate source said it Is also reported that McCarthy, through an intermediary, has had not less than four exchanges of messages on the matter with Earl Browder, former leader of the American Communist Party. In New York, however, Browder told a reporter he didn't know any thing about the case. If McCarthy's agents have ac tually found Beria, it will be the start of a story as strange as the wartime flight of Rudolph Hess, deputy leader of the German Nazi Party, to Scotland in 194L .

The' union and the company have been negotiating since July 23 on a new contract to replace one which expired Aug. 17. Recently there have been sev eral work stoppages by union members at various points throughout the state to back up the . union's demands. The new contract, which went into effect Sunday, provides for weekly wage increases of from $1 to 13, depending on job classifica tion and other factors. The wage agreement was reach ed seme time ago. After that the company and the union were un able to agree on .contract provi sions covering such matters as seniority and paid time off. It was on these matters that agreement was reached Sunday. A spokesman for the union said terms of the settlement on these issues would be announced later.
