The, Cordon Ellsworth bill to settle the status of the O & C controverted lands sails through both houses, though its predecessors have regularly got lethal gas of dying with the close of the session. Appropria tions to keep Northwest dam con struction on schedule have been restored in the Senate where Sen. Cordon is a member of the pow erful appropriations committee. When the House trimmed the al lowances for Bonneville Power Administration and the Interior department. Cordon pulled Mc Kay's horse- out of the mire and got the cuts restored. The Cord-on-for-Senator publicity bureau sends out a piece telling how Cordon got another million dol lars for access roads.

This year his luck has carried through hand-; nmolv for the report tnat t-oru- ; stiff nnnosition in the ; f fall election has stirred up j Washington Republicans, even in the House. It really is too bad that we aren't ready with a new dam project because this migni w inst the time to get it. For the GOP isn't going to lose that Ore- j gon Senate seat (having lost me other one already), not if good appropriations will save it. Dick Neuberger is out cam paigning for Cordon's job. He ac cuses Cordon and McKay of be ing in on a big "giveaway" off shore oil. Hells Canyon power,! etc. Dick says he is campaigning on principles, challenging Cord on's voting record on major is sues. Well, Dick, there's another P in politics; and that is pork Most congressmen figure that it's safer to rely on Pork than Prin ciples. Cordon has his principles too, which are directly opposite to those of Neuberger. But his campaign organization seems to be stressing his ability to bring home the bacon. However you slice it, it still is pork, speaking in political terms. j Record Crowd Gobbles Up Big Shortcake Statesman New Serrice T FBANON The biggest crowd I , t: . k., Kctival : 1 ii ua&J vii WM" j - historv Friday devoured 5,358 pounds of strawberry shortcake in 2 hours.

Aid Set Down by Dulles LOS ANGELES (.Secretary of State Dulles listed five condi- j tions Friday which he said must be fulfilled before America and her allies would intervene militarily in Southeast Asia: "1. An invitation from the present lawful authorities. "2. Clear assurance of complete independence for Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. "3. Evidence of concern by the United Nations. Collective Effort "4. A joining in the collective effort of some of the other nations of the area. "5. Assurance that France will not itself withdraw from the battle until it is won." The secretary's speech, before the Los Angeles World Affairs Council was devoted exclusively to Far Eastern conditions. It came on the eve of a confidence vote which Premier Joseph Laniel's govern- ment faces in the French National Assembly on handling of the Indo-. china crisis.

Indochina CP Several Vietminh battalions which marched more than 220 miles to help destroy Dien Bien Phu last month were back Friday at their old posts on the Thanh Hoa plain, part of a steel arc the rebel high command is welding around the Red River delta. French military sources told of the arrival of these seasoned Red ! troops at Thanh Hoa, 80 miles i south of Hanoi. Thev were de- variety of regiments to reinforce Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap's assault on the French fortress which finally fell May 7. The return journey southeast ward over jungle roads under har assing air attacks took about a month.

Fland ers (R Vt) demanded Friday that the Senate strip Sen. McCarthy of his investigative powers as a com mittte chairman until McCarthy purges himself of "contempt" by answering "charges" made against him in 1952. Before delivering this open chal lenge on the Senate floor, Flanders confronted the Wisconsin senator at the McCarthy-Army hearings and served written notice that he intended to make the address. It was Flanders' third speech against McCarthy in recent weeks. Hadn't Lirtened McCarthy's first comment was. "I don't have enough interest in any Flanders speech to listen to it." Shown a copy of the address later, he remarked: "I think they should get a man with a net and take him to a good quiet place." t In calling for McCarthy's ouster as chairman of the Government Operations Committee and its in vestigations subcommittee, Fland ers asserted McCarthy is in con tempt of "the whole Senate'" be cause of his refusal to appear two years ago before a Senate group which investigated his finances and other activities. Fireworks at Hearing There was a good deal of fire works when the Yermonter strode into the glaring lights of the McCarthy-Army hearing to notify Mc Carthy of the speech and invite him to be present for a reply if he wished. With the air of a man crossing Times Square against traffic, Flan ders entered the jam-packed hear ing room and asked a Senate em ploye: "Where is the junior senator from Wisconsin I mean McCar thy?" When the senator was pointed out, Flanders exclaimed, "there he is!" then walked over and handed him the notice. For a moment Mc Carthy appeared dumbfounded. Asked to Testify Then, as Flanders appeared about to retire, McCarthy shouted that he remain and, if he had any information about the McCarthy Army row, "take the oath, raise your right hand." If Flanders had "nothing except the usual smears," McCarthy went on, he should air them there and not on the Senate floor." Abandoned Ice Boxes at Colonv Draw Criticism Ice boxes, left in the wake of house wrecking in the Veterans Housing area, 1700 block of Hines Street, brought a sharp criticism by city police Friday who classi fied them as highly dangerous when left near where children are at play. A policeman on routine patrol spotted two of the boxes standing near where young children were playing and, in view of the re-; cent nationwide deaths of young-, sters being trapped in similar . boxes, he made his report ad-: vising they be moved or destroy ed. Police noted that William Rice, who is doing the wrecking in that area, advised them he would get rid of the objects. j Victors Shift Red River Arc (lines northwest and southwest of j Hanoi, the French war capital.

Paul Ely, the new French ; commander in chief, flew to three i strategic zones of the delta Friday to check defense preparations. Cov ering nearly 300 miles, he studied reinforced concrete fortifications and conferred lengthily with field commanders west, southwest and south of Hanoi. The French, pouring thousands of reinforcements into the delta, guess that the big Vietminh as sault may come before the mon soon rains hit their peak at the end of June.
