The recent curtailment of de
livery of power by Bonneville
Power Administration to industrial
consumers holding interruptible
contracts underscores the need for
positive assurance that the needs 1
of this portion of the country for
electric energy will be met. Here
we are in the midst, of the great
est reservoir of undeveloped hydro
electric power in the . nation, yet
we alone suffer from, serious cut
backs of energy. Instead of an
improving situation ahead of us
the present prospect is for it to
grow worse,
I say worse because the im
mediate outlook is for stalemate.
The administration favors a part
nership policy which relies in large
degree on local and private power
development. But only one project
on this policy has met with con
gressional approval: Priest Rapids,
where the Grant County PUD has
authority to proceed. Ellsworth's
proposals for municipal power de
velopment at Cougar dam and pri
vate development at Green Peter
dam, both part of the govern
ment's Willamette valley flood
control project, ; are opposed by
the Oregon senators who are quite
powerfully situated, with Neuber
ger on the public works and in
terior committees.
On the other hand Morse and
Neuberger are plugging for more
federal power and centering their
efforts on Hells Canyon dam. Their
chances of getting this ; approved
in Congress are not too bright, and
of passing the bill over a possible
presidential veto very dim. x
So what may happen at least in
this session of Congress is that
nothing will be approved under
either the federal or the

Wary
Of Dulles After
Yalta Release
WASHINGTON Ufi Secretary
of State Dulles apparently has lost
face among Democratic leaders of
Congress by suddenly releasing the
Yalta documents after a luncheon
conference with Republicans who
had demanded their publication.
A canvass by influential Demo
crats of how the release of the
documents came about may result
in increased wariness on the part
of the opposition in accepting Dul
les' proposals in the field of in
ternational relations.
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Tex
as, the Democratic Senate leader.
has said his party will not alter
its approach to bipartisan coopera
tion on foreign affairs.
But a high ranking Democrat
who asked not to be quoted by
name said Dartv leaders had con
eluded as a result bf their survey
that Dulles yielded to political
considerations in this case and
might be expected to do so again
This feeling was said to have
been concurred in by Johnson,
House Speaker Rayburn of Texas,
Chairman George (D-Ga) of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee and Chairman Russell (D-Ga)
of the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee. Dulles had no comment on the
report. An official close to the
State Department said the secre
tary had tried to avoid politics in
releasing the papers.
The official, who asked not to
be named, said the papers had
been ready for several months and
Dulles did not make them public
before last fall's elections, partly
because he did not want to dis
rupt bipartisan cooperation in in
ternational affairs.
Graham Talks
AtcHalf-Fmed!
Scots Church
GLASGOW, Scotland Ufi Ameri
can evangelist Billy Graham took
a back seat at his first religious
service in Scotland Sunday and
then preached to a half-empty
church.
While thousands were clamoring
for tickets to Graham's six-week
"Tell Scotland" crusade which
opens Monday, the evangelist made
a surprise visit to the Dowanhill
(Presbyterian) Parish Church.
A few minutes before the morn
ing service started, Graham, wear
ing a dark suit, took a seat in a
back row. He was recognized by
the minister, the Rev. William J.-
Baxter, who described Graham as
"this messenger with a new voice,
which speaks in a soft, North Car
linian accent."
"Billy Graham is not here to
preach a new Gospel, but the old
Gospel in fresh terms," said the
Rev. Mr. Baxter, in asking the
American to speak.

Policy of FDR, Knox
'Hurt Naval Security7
WASHINGTON (Senate investigators said Sunday Presi
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt and Frank Knox, his Secretary -of the
Navy, impaired the Navy's wartime security by permitting Com
munist radio operators on American merchant ships.
, In setting out this conclusion, the Senate internal security sub
committee published for the first time secret messages exchanged
on the subject by Roosevelt and
Knox, both nor dead.
Knox was a Republican news
paper, publisher from Chicago
whom Roosevelt brought into his
World War II Cabinet.
Also printed in the subcommittee
report was a memorandum of Ad
lai E. Stevenson, an assistant to
Knox during the war who later
became the. Democratic presiden
tial nominee in 1952.
Raised Question .
The memo raised the question of
whether radio operators on mer
chant ships should be discharged
solely because of their "political
opinions." In it, Stevenson said
there was a shortage of qualified
radio operators at the time. .
In a confidential letter to Roose
velt on May 1, 1942, Knox advised
against the discharge of suspected
Communists. Three days later,
Roosevelt agreed in a memo to
Knox that radio operators "whose
only offense is being a Commu
nist" should not be barred from
merchant ships.
At that time this country was
allied with Russia in fighting the
Berlin-Tokyo axis powers, but the
subcommittee received public testi
mony in 1953 that the policy ap
proved by Roosevelt and Knox
drew strong protests from top na
val officers. -'Wrakeaed

New-Born Baby Found Unharmed;
Nurse Charged With Kidnaping
BEAUMONT. Tex. W A form
er nurse s aid wno repeatedly
i t
screamed "it's my own baby" was
charged Sunday with kidnaping an
infant from its hospital crib 19
minutes after birth.
Mrs. Pauline Schultze, attrac
tive. 30-year-old mother of three
sons, was taken into custody with
the unharmed baby girl at 2:30
a.m. Sunday at her home at Hou
ston, about 85 miles west of this
Texas Gulf Coast city:
Capt. J. D. Walters of the Hou
ston sheriffs office said Mrs.
Schultze, hysterical during long
hours of questioning, apparently
had an overwhelming desire to
bear a fourth child.
The blue-eyed, sturdy baby was
taken from, its nursery bassinet at
East .Texas Baptist Hospital here
Saturday by a woman disguised as
a nurse. The baby was returned
Sunday morning to the nursery
room.
The real mother. Mrs. George
Wharton, knew nothing of the kid-
big tent began flapping loose, jerk
ing its inside supporting poles up
and down among the spectators
and performers.
"When the people got outside
and started wondering where their
children were," said O'Neal,
"that's when the panic hit."
Some mothers screamed, and
children separated from their par
ents ran about crying.
But O'Neall, Sheriff Fred Yeary
and a deputy managed an orderly
evacuation, the people creeping
along under that part of the tent
held off the ground by bleachers,
acrobats ladders, etc.
Police Chief Joe Newcomer said
no one was hurt badly enough to
require immediate medical atten
tion. The Hagen Bros. Circus was
brought to this town near the Texas-Mexico
border by the Uvalde
Junior Chamber of Commerce. The
tent was set up on a vacant lot
just outside the city's northern lim
its.
I might have been scared if I
had had time," said J. W. Stewart,
Uvalde grocer who brought his
two sons, Ronnie, 4. and Jimmie,
12, to the circus along with two
girls, Deborah, 5, and Gail, 4,
daughters of a friend, Robert
Hicks.
"I told Jimmie to get Ronnie'
Stewart related. "Then I picked
up Deborah and Gail, one under
each arm. Just after we got down
from, the bleachers, they collapsed.
Something hit me. Jimmie told me
afterward it was a tent pole. I'm
sore all over."
Red Chinese
Plan Bases for
Air Control
TAIPEI,' Formosa Ufi Com
mumst China plans a string of
bases along the' Southeast Coast to
give u control ot tne air over
Formosa Strait, informed National
isL sources said Sunday.- -
Without such air control, any in
vasion or Formosa would be con
sidered suicidal But the comple
tion of these Red bases will take
many months.
"Within the next two years.
one high Nationalist official said,
"The area south of the Yangtze
will be full of Communist air
fields." ;
That is not the case now. From1
Shanghai on the Yangtze south
ward there are only three other
important bases. None is in con
venient range of this Nationalist
fortress island.
The high Nationalist source re
iterated that, contrary to reports,
there has been no air buildup in
Fukien Province opposite Formo
sa.
"But it's only a matter of time,"
he added.
Even without nearby bases, the
Communists can launch air at
tacks on Formosa and invade the
Quemoy and the Matsus.
The Nationalists consider a Com-
munlst attack on Quemoy or the
Matsus is likely. Even without con
trol of the air the Reds have the
capability for a seaborne attack.

The mother and baby were reunit

Mrs. Wharton, described as mak

to assure the rest a new mother

"It's my baby, I know it's my
