6-(Sc 2)-iiTmii), Salem, Dulles Quoted As Praising Yalta Accord WASHINGTON W Sen. Humph . rey (D-Minn) quoted Secretary of State Dulles Tuesday as testifying that the Yalta agreements were "advantageous to the United States. Asked whether Dulles used that precise word, in an appearance be fore the Senate Foreign Relations Committee behind closed t doors, Humphrey said he used one of these three words: beneficial, ad vantageous or helpful. - In the 10 years since the agree ments were reached at Yalta by ' Franklin D. v Roosevelt, Jo s e p h Stalin and Winston Churchill, many Republicans have hammered hard en the theme that Roosevelt knuc kled under to Stalin.' They have said that Yalta set off a train of events that lost Poland and China to Communism. . Dulles was called before the committee Tuesday to say who in the department leaked the Yalta Conference papers to the New York Times ahead of their general release. He named, to no one's great surprise. Assistant Secretary of State Carl W. McCardle; NokSecurity Breach la a formal statement, thfr sec retary said: "This involved an exercise by Mr. McCardle of a discretion that ,was his. It involved no breach of security." Humphrey said he did not feel bound to secrecy on what was said t during the long session the com mittee had with Dulles. He said be told the committee that inasmuch as Dulles' state ment was given to the press he, Humphrey, felt under an obliga tion to give out thef question he had asked Dulles and the answers Dulles had given him. The senator said Dulles testified he does not favor repudiation of the Yalta agreement, as promised the Republican Party in its 19oSx platform. Dulles previously had radicated he changed his mind about the repudiation in the for eign aff ass plank of the platform. Dulles helped write it. On the matter of McCardle giv ing the Timesits advance copy of the Yalta papers, Sen. Morse (D Ore) commented that Dulles "act ed in collusion with McCardle and James Reston for the leak of these papers." ' Not "Fair Play" He -said he had told Dulles so, and had furtherktold him the re lease to , the Times "cannot be reconciled with fair play to the rest of the American press. - Reston is the Washington cor respondent for the Times. The secretary declined to tell re porters whether he accepted re sponsibility for what his subordi nate did. , , McCardle, Dulles said, handed a copy of ther papers to Reston on March 15 a day before they were released to the press gen erally. Dulles omitted any reference to the fact that the State Depart ment's press officer, Henry Suy dam, told reporters on March 14 the papers could not be made pub lic "for reasons which involve our national security and our relations with other powers. Dulles' statement said while the decision had been made much ear lier for eventual publication-of the papers, the timing of their gen eral release hadn t been deter mined on the day they were given to the Times. JThe statement showed, too, that the British gov ernment didn t consent to their re lease until the day after the docu ments were in the possession of the Times. Zellerbach Plans Green Veneer Mil SAN FRANCISCO U Crown Zellerbach Corp. Tuesday an nounced plans for a green veneer mill costing three quarters of million dollars, on the Columbia River near Portland, Ore. President J.D.

The singer is in national and international circulation as the leading man of the highly regarded movie, "Carmen Jones," and a couple of weeks, ago the New 'York drama critics sat at their type writers and composed rapturous notices about his work in the new musical revue, "Three For i To night" . 'I Yet it was only little more than half past yesterday that the hand some, tall slim, brownskinned singer tossed his show business be ginnings onto ; the scrapheap and became a partner in ; a tiny New York hash house because he had to have some way to support his family. i. j j. jf , Pppnlar Crooner Type Belafonte: first came! on the en tertainment scene a few years ago as the popular crooner type. He did better; than some aspiring youngsters b that field He attract ed notice in a New: York night club engagement had a recording contract and bookings around the country were fairly steady. It was much better, ! certainly, than his former work in the 'garment cen ter. . ' i : i ; It was while : he was working in the kitchen and behind the coun ter that he began to think about and experiment with singing folk music. I " f-i "That type of song seemed to satisfy me," he related. "I felt they had a quality that would per mit a singer to do something crea tive with them." I - Folk Pieces ' Belafonte got together with Mil lard Thomas, a fine guitarist who is his accompanist on stage in "Three For Tonight" and they worked up a repertoire of old and modern folk pieces work songs, grave and gay spirituals, etc. The "new ; Belafonte" quickly caught on. Whereas he has just been a stand-up, microphone sing er with the popular ballads, he developed what is almost an acting style for the folk numbers, and his voice is now only one of several lures to hook audiences. As a matter of fact, Belafonte has scored heavily as an appealing actor in the ("Carmen Jones" movie without the use of his sing ing voice. It is well known that the voices of singers accustomed to the demands of operatic work were dubbed in for most of the principals in that adaptation of Bi zet's "Carmen." Harolds Club Offers to Sell Reno Property RENO (UPJ-Harolds Club Tues day offered for sale many of its real estate holdings in Reno and Washoe Cunty. I .

Peace talks culminated this eve ning in a settlement that ended the news blackout -t The strike had muffled the im pact of Sir: Winston Churchill's res ignation as Prime Minister and left millions without printed word of Sir Anthony Eden s accession. It was expected that work on the strikebound national dailies could be resumed by Wednesday night permitting Thursday morning news paper to publish,- The newspaper proprietors asso ciation said Tuesday the strike had cost $5,600,000. Representatives of management and labor met for five hours Tues day and issued a statement. "There shall be a resumption of work on the basis that the offer made by the NPA is accepted by all the unions as an agreed settle! ment pending further negotiations,' the statement said. The strike that stopped the' press es in Fleet Street, where five-sixths of Britain's newspapers are pub lished, resulted from the fight of 700 electricians and mechanics against the management associa tion called NPA. Eventually, 23,000 non-striking workers in newspaper plants were laid off as the strike dragged on. Willamette Iron, Steel Low Bidder WASHINGTON W - The Mari time Administration said Tuesday the Willamette Iron and Steel Co. of Portland, Ore., is the apparent low bidder on a ship conversion project for the Matson Co. The administration said WiHam ette entered a bid of $26,624,000 to convert two of J the government's 13,500-ton mariner class cargo vessels to passenger ships. A spokesman for the administration said the . Matson Co. plans to buy the vessels from the government and use them to re-open American flag service between the West Coast of the United States and Australia. The Matson Co. will pay for the conversion, and thus may award its contract to any bidder. The bids were received, nowever, and opened by the Maritime Adminis tration because it will base any construction subsidy to the Matson Co. upon low. bid. On a straight dollars and cents basis Maryland; Dry Dock Co. of Baltimore, with a bid of $25,643,825, was below the; Willamette offer, However, the Merchant Marine Act gives a 6 per' cent high cost differential to West Coast ship builders in bids on ships to be operated from the West Coast The only other! West Coast bidder, the Maritime Administration said. was Bethlehem Pacific Coast Steel, which bid $29,795,000.

GOPBidtdCut ForeignTradei Dill Defeated WASHINGTON IB A Republi can move to reduce the scope of President Eisenhower's foreign trade bill was defeated 8-7 in the Senate Finance Committee Tues day with the help of a long dis tance telephone call, i , It was a key test of legislation to extend . the Reciprocal -Trade Agreements Act for three years from June 12 and give the Presi dent authority to cut tariffs 15 per cent during that period in return for similar trade concessions from foreign nations. ! Sen. Mfflikin (R-Colo), senior GOP member of the Finance Com mittee, tried to limit the extension to two years and hold the Presi dent's tariff-cutting power to 10 per cent. . I Five Republicans and two Dem ocrats supported the I MOlikin amendment, while Ave Democrats and two Republicans opposed it. - This 7-7 tie vote normally would defeat an amendment, i but the committee has a rule that absent members be polled whenever pos sible.

Maiden Flight SEATTLE Iffl The Boeing Turboprop C97, testing new-type en gines which develop 5,700 horse- i power each,, made its: maiden flight Tuesday, remaining aloft an hour and 15 minutes. i The big four-engine tanker-trans port, designated the YC97J, is the first of two standard Stratofreight ers modified' for the Air ! Force to test the new Pratt & Whitney T34 engines, a spokesman said. A turboprop engine, he explained, utilizes a stream of burning gases to turn the propeller, something like water turns generators in a hydro-electric plant. The! leftover force goes out a tailpipe! and adds thrust as in a jet engine. The Pratt k Whitney Wasp Major piston engines previously used developed only 3,500 horse power each. Boeing has built more than 600 other Stratofreighters for the Air Force at its Renton plant. The additional 63 per cent power will allow the big double-deck ship to take off in shorter distances. The plane will also be about 5,000 pounds lighter and will cruise at higher speed at greater altitudes. Ed Hart, Boeing project pilot for the plane, was at the: controls Tuesday.

(UP) Secretary-general Dag Hammar skjold said Tuesday there were new moves being made to free Ameri lean airmen jailed in Red China. The UJ N. -thief executive told a news conference the world or ganization was "in consistent pur suit of i a certain plan" to win freedom for the airmen, ; but he said there "definitely is no new approach." He apparently referred to a statement made Monday in Washington by Sen. John L. Mc Clelland (D-Ark) that a "new ap proach" was underway for the re lease of the prisoners. But Hammarskjold compared negotiations for their release to a game of chess. He said, "time and time again there will be new moves, l without making a new approach." Asked for comment on published speculation that some of the im prisoned fliers might be freed in the near future, Hammarskjold said: "I have no. indication to justify any precise judgment of that type." ; ... -1:v'-.- He added that there was "noth ing new in the situation." "It is ! just one of those cases where interest suddenly flares up" he said. "There is not any reason for interest to flare up ; now. . . for very natural reasons, those people feeling concern about the fliers feel an impatience which finds verbal expression."! Turning to the Formosa crisis, Hammarskjold said he saw "no way in which the United Nations at present could be useful. State Spending Notes Climb i? ;.-.
