HMT ion 7c of the commission which super vised the explanations, expressed his belief Saturday the explana- tions should be extended. Peiping radio said General Thimayya told Wilfred Burchett, Correspondent for the Paris I'Hik manite, he did not think there should be a "mechanical time table for explanations. The period ended officially Dec, 23 but the Reds accuse the U. N. Command of creating conditions which cut actual interviews to 10 days and insist upon the other 80. 5 J . ii . ,k . ,k xa.

The selfsame perfidy charge is the one which caused U. S. envoy Arthur Dean to break off talks for ; ar ranging a peace conference, say ing the charge was an insult which the Reds must retract. Even the five-nation Neutral Re patriation Commission chair man India. Sweden. Switzerland, Poland and Czechoslovakia ap pears in disagreement over the explanations which it supervised. Report Adopted Thursday delegates of India and the Iron Curtaini countries of Po land and Czechoslovakia adopted a majority report yet to be made public for submission to the Red and U. N. commands.

The committee called a meeting Saturday to con- j sider the minority report. An Indian spokesman said it was possible the two reports would be ! released during the week. Friday the Czech and Polish del- j egates told Communist newsmen j that the other three members of ! the commission committed a ; "very serious violation" of truce j terms by voting the explanations , to an end Dec. 23 Reduction of Naval Recruit Offices Asked Rep. Walter Norblad. from hi home at Stayton, directed a let ter Saturday to Robert B. Ander son, Secretary of the Navy, sug- fgetihg a reduction in navy re cruiting offices and recruiting Promotion in the interests ot economy. was a heavy backlog of available men for the Navy and also "an extensive and expensive draft svstem through which can be ob tained all .the young men need- ed . . many millions of , dollars could be saved by materi- j al'v reducing . . . recruitment ! devices and offices at least un-! til such future dates as the draft j act may be repealed." For explanation, he said: j "Recent,ly I talked to a full- time recruiting Navy Chief here! in Oregon who advised that his backlog of available men ran into : the dozens and that he had a list i which filled his allotment for more than six months in the fu ture and yet these offices con tinue in operation. I understand this situation is general through out the country. This man's ser vice stripes indicated long ex perience in the Navy, which it would seem could be much bet ter used elsewhere."

Lilieothal Saturday urged prompt implementation of President Eis enhower's plan for a world atom pool, asserting any long delay may well be fatal to the plan and world peace. Lilienthal, first chairman of tne us Atomjc Energy Commissiolli told a nationwide radio audience ("NBC Lecture Hall") that the pool can be operating in a modest way "within six or eight months from today In his prepared speech, Lilien- thal suggested Belgium as a site for an experimental atomic power plant and Geneva as the borne of the international research organi zation outlined by Eisenhower. The former U.S. atom chief, who 'one headed the vast Tennessee VaUey Authority. hailed th Eis. enhower proposal as an "electrify . gift of e on eart.. . rtnrt tn eetah. a basis for some degree of confidence and mutUal faith Highest Level "After years of exposure to un disguised atomic jingo-ism by less er men, this country has at last put its case before the world on the highest level of moral leader ship," he declared. 1 Recent Russian acceptance, Lih- enthal declared, has "a most fam iliar sound to all who remember the Soviet's success in dealing out death-by-negotiation to Bernard Baruch's epic efforts to end the atomic arms race." No Means Hopeless "But." he added, "a new start, and a by no means hopeless start, has been made." I Lilienthal, however, foresaw long j delays before "we may hope for agreement with Russia." In the meantime, he said. Eisen hower's idea must "promptly" be tiirned jnt0 going enterprise, it is to be more than just a "psychological warfare sky - rock et."" Discussions Issue "If we say we won't take action at all until the discussions with Russia are complete." he said, "we may have tOwait so long fo that agreement that the w hole idea will then be dead, perhaps beyond recall." Therefore, Lilienthal urged, "get gQing ,mmediately withthe Rus. sians as lull participants it mey agree to join: but without them, for the time being, if they don't." He listed these as the ingred ients essential to take Eisenhow er's proposal from paper to reality within six to eight months in a "living demonstration of the Free World's preoccupation with peace:" 1. Materials uranium, plutonl um and radioactive isotopes, which he said, are amply available in the Western world. "No Problem" 2. Scientists and engineers, also ; "no problem." 3. A place to set up labs and store materials. He suggested the environs of Brussels for an expert mental atomic pow er plant because Belgium suffers high cost coal, has neither oil nor water power and is convenient for foreign engineers and technicians to reach, He suggested Geneva for other atomic research because it already is the home of a new international research organization in the field, 4. A U. N. agency to accept the materials and organize the work "no great barrier to early action." 1 If - JlllFC-Il ITieet n 1 Make Report Three Western delegates to the Church Peace Mission this month in Detroit, Mich., will make a re port to the Salem Fellowship of Reconciliation at a Monday night meeting in the First Methodist Church.

Speaker was Garfield Voget of Hubbard, who came to Salem prior to World War I because his mother feared just such an out break of hostilities as occurred. He returned from a visit to Ger many only a few weeks ago. Voget assailed the Hitler re gime particularly "the coun try was turned into a land of in formers: boys belonged to the state and parents who protested went to concentration camps. All school children had to swear to protect the life of Hitler. In this way the Tuehrer raised his own army until it was stronger than the regular army." i Damage Described Voget also described the bomb damage in Germany; told of Red shootings of persons who at - tempted to cross a ditch of water i between Eastern and Western j Germany; and said that a ne-1 phew had his farm confiscated j by the Russians because he ab-; sented himself from it a few i days when his cows went dry : and he was unable to fill orders j for milk. He also told of a work- j man being shot because he ran i to catch a bus the Reds j thought he was trying to escape. ! i In contrast to Germany i where Voget said there were 1,000,000 widows, "virtually no' men between the ages of 25 and 40, a 50 per cent reduction in farm produce because of land division, and huge war damage "there is a building boom on in Sweden and Denmark; beau tiful buildings are being con ducted, all the more in contrast to the waste of Germany."
