Part of these reports may be the cause of latest U.S concern over Formosa. But it appears the Com munists still are far from ready for any big operation because of supply problems along the moun tainous coast. - ' ready dark afternoon by suggest ing there was "nothing better than the kitchen floor for eating off of." The woman said in her letter that she found the Ministry of Lo cal Industrial Production in Mol devis, headed by "Comrade Ate menenko, does not consider the need of consumers." ' The U. S. Labor Department learned from other sources that the Kishinev woodworking factory received a lot of orders from the City Trade Organization during the last half-year. People desper ately needed things like kitchen cabinets, cupboards, clothes hang ers, shelves, and other household furniture. The orders weren't answered. Other factories, the Labor De partment found out, had orders to produce hatchet handles, clothes pins, rolling pins, stools, bed stands, and other things. None of the orders were being filled. Mrs. S. concluded in her letter to Trud that the Soviet doesn't want to. bother with "trifles. She quoted the Red leaders as saying that such was "inconveni ent. It would prevent the fulfill ment of the state plan." WASHINGTON Ufi "Edward Corsi charged Wednesday a State Department "security gang" head ed by Scott McLeod had wrecVd the administration's refugee relief program. . ,He told a Senate judiciary sub-' committee the program ' needs to be taken out of "the hands of the policemen" and administered un der "new, competent and sympa thetic leadership." f Corsi.- a prominent- New York Republican, said he was brought into the State Department as an expert last Jan. 9 to help get the program "rolling.' Ninety days later Secretary of State Dulles fired, him. "Shabby and un-Chris-tian treatment," Corsi called it. He testified that McLeod, State Department security chief and di rector of the program, believed most Americans and 'most Con gressmen are "against immigra tion of any kind." Increased immigration is one. of the basic ideas of the Refugee Re lief Act. Under it. the United States would admit 214.000 carefully screened refugees by the end of 1S56. About 22,000 visas have been issued during the past 18 months of the program. McLeod told the senators Wed nesday he believed the aims of the program would be "substan tially" achieved. He pictured Corsi as unwilling to settle down as his deputy. .rJ. t r t 4 Assessor Appointed Benton County judge CORVALLIS UP Emila E. Larkin, 60, who had been county assessor.

Demonstrated By U.S., Bonn BONN, Germany Lf Tbe Unit ed States and West Germany joined Wednesday the 66th an niversary of Adolf Hitler's birth in a diplomatic formality of the process that is soon to make them partners in defense. 1 They deposited in Bonn their treaties to end the occupation, now in its 10th year; and allow Allied troops to remain on German soil as a bulwark against aggression. West Germany will not become sovereign- and able to rearm, how' ever, . until Britain and France have taken the same action. The North Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion nations also have to deposit treaties giving Bonn membership in NATO and the Western Euro pean Union (WEU) in Washington and Brussels. This cannot be done until the Dutch Parliament completes rati fication in early May. But German officials expressed confidence Wednesday that the whole process will - be completed by May 7. Wednesday s action was some what of a surprise. It had been assumed that all the Western Al lies and West .Germany would act together on an agreed date. The joint move by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and U. S. High Commis sioner James B. Conant provoked speculation that it was a demon stration of Western determination to go ahead with the Paris treat ies despite Soviet Russia's latest proposals to free Austria as a neutralized nation. The U. S. intention to deposit the documents weanesaay was an nounced Tuesday. But not until the last minute was it known that West Germany was going to do it. too. The treaty ending the occupation provides that the West German Federal Republic shall have the full authority of a sovereign state lover its internal' and external af fairs. Underwater Surgery Given To Bat Ray in Oceanarium PALOS VERDES. Calif., (UP) Charlie, a 50-pound myopic bat ray, swam languidly about the main tank of the Pacific Ocean arium Thursday convalescing from a delicate half hour eye operation, the first underwater surgery on record. W his left eye, Charlie sported a new transplanted cornea deftly sewn in place with eight sutures by Dr. H. George Blasdel, eye surgeon at Los Angeles County General Hospital. Youth Sits in Jail Cell as Dad Buried PASCO. Wash. I P.H. Peter sen, 52, was buried quietly Wed nesday. Family and friends were there to grieve but not the 16-year-old son whose bullets struck him down April 1. Petersen's life ebbed slowly until he died last Sunday night. The son. Richard, a pudgy 200 pounder, was not permitted to leave the Franklin County jaQ to attend the funeral. However, the boy was allowed a few mba: tes alone with his fath er's bodCat a funeral home Tues day. S$2nff Harvey Huston said he came out of the room tight lipped but dry-eyed. Prosecutor Roger Olson said an assault charge against young Pe tersen for wounding his father would be changed next week either to first or second degree murder. The boy already has been charged with first degree murder for the death of Pasco Police Pa trolman Alva Jackson, 38, who was mortally wounded in disarming the berserk youth. The shooting spree was touched off by a family quar rel over the boy's beer drinking. Blasdel donned an aqua-lung and a grey-white rubber suit to per form the operation at Marineland yesterday. Acting as "nurse," was Pat Patterson, a diver at the Oceanarium, who was forced to . chase Charlie alT over the tank be fore the blind but unwilling bat ray could be put on the operating table.' Crowd Watches A large crowd witnessed the op eration anj Dr. J. Willoughby Howe, another eye surgeon.gave a running account from outside the tank on how the operation was proceeding. Charlie, a friendly black-winged ray that had become a pet at the Oceanarium, was nearly blind from bumping his protruding eyes on the glass walls of the tank. A healthy ray was caught in the ocean to act as an equally unwil ling donor. Patterson, after managing to catch up with the two fish, tied, them to small operating tables loaded with weights. Dr. Blasdell , gave each ray a hypodermic injec tion of anesthetic, and they went,' to sleep. May' Fix Other Eye With Patterson holding a tray of delicate surgical tools. Dr. Blas dell neatly cut a circular cornea from the healthy ray and trans planted it in Charlie's left eye. For the operation, Blasdell wore a special lens on his face-plate to correct for underwater distortion. He said the sutures would be re moved in about a week, and if the dperation proves successful, Char lie's right eye may be fixed also. Blasdell, who has performed simi lar surgery on dogs, said the oper-1 ation went off very well and he had every hope it was a success. Patterson said he postponed ' working on Charlie's, right eye be-' cause the fish got "restless." After the operation, the patieat was re leased from the operating table, revived and swam gracefully away. Only sad note to the proceedings , occurred when the donor ray failed ; to revive, apparently from an over-! dose of anesthetic. ' y TO 1 Iml BemjeyB I - A . . t tt i Penney's Does IT Again!
