Hells Canyon D am Hearing Ends With 'Nntp. rf r!on fusion' ; By JOHN KAMPS WASHINGTON UP A 4-day con f ressional hearing on Hells Canyon Dam legislation ended in confusion Friday. Members of a House interior sub committee left the hearing unsure whether they had tabled that is. helved a bill to authorize a fed eral dam in the Snake River. The ajte borders Idaho and Oregon, where three private power dams have been proposed. Republicans opposing the federal Cut Hinted in U. S. Forces In Far East J QUANTICO. Va. The United Sates may pull still more fighting inen out of the Far East tThe hint of another cutback in military strength along the East ern perimeter of the Communist domain came Friday from Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, new Army - chief of staff and until recently the supreme allied commander in the Far fast. Taylor, in a talk to the 170 civil ian leaders, generals and admirals Here for the annual defense secre taries' conference, discussed the impact "of future planned reduc tion in forces" in Japan and Korea. A brief summary of what Taylor talked about was issued after the olosed-door meeting. There seemed reason to believe that any new reduction in Far East strength would be in ground forces. possibly the withdrawal of one or more divisions. : At peak strength during the Ko rean War, the United States had about eight Army and one Marine division in the area. The manpower of those divisions, together with those of air and naval forces and other Army non-combat units, to taled more thin half a million men. 'Today the total manpower is acftmt 250,000, with three divisions aid two regimental combat teams iai Korea, Japan and Okinawa. ijaylor said reductions in U. S. farces made necessary "major tactical and logistical adjust ments."'

Aspinall D-Colo), subcom mittee chairman, announced the necessary lS-member quorum was present and ordered a roll call. Rep.

Several Democrats left the room. and it was discovered a quorum was not present. The subcommittee adjourned in the absence of a quor urn. -. Miller left the room saying the bill had been tabled by a 7-3 vote. He said a quorum was present when the vote was ordered, and members couldn't destroy a quor um by walking out -'Record to Speak Aspinall told reporters the rec ord would speak for itself,-but he believed the subcommittee had vot ed on the motion to shut off debate, and not on the motion to table the bill. - A committee attorney said at first he believed, as did some sub committee members, that the vote was on the tabling motion, but a study of the minutes indicated this mieht not have been the case. The subcommittee probably will decide at its next session whether or not' the bill was tabled. If it decides the vote was on the debate motion, the motion to table the bill will be the pending order of business, the attorney said. . If tabled, the bill probably would die as did similar legislation before the House committee in 1952. An identical bill was approved by a Senate interior subcommittee several weeks ago but has not been called up for a full committee vote.

Ministers of Big 3 Ready , For Meeting (Story also on Page One) PARIS UP) Western Big Three foreign ministers completed their plans Friday for the summit meet ing with the Russians, confident the sessions can open the way to new talks on reunifiying Germany and limiting the world's arms. A feeling was manifest that pro gress by the Big Four next week in Geneva will be more a matter of spirit and atmosphere than of formal agreements. In fact, the Western powers are not going there with any drafts of formal agreements in their briefcases. The Russians, however, may turn up with some. President Eisenhower, Prime Minister Eden and Premier Faure and Premier Bulganin will have their first meeting Monday. The expectation is that there will be a series of orders by the end of the week to -their foreign ministers to develop specific agreements on 1. Unifying Communist East Ger many and anu-communist west Germany through free elections 2. Security arrangements in Eu rope that will make both Commu nist and Anti-Communist countries feel safe perhaps by taking up West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer s suggestion that a re unified Germany should seek ro more than the 12 army division to which he is now limited. 3. Global armament limitation maybe with some new suggestions to the United Nations subcommit tee which has been working on the problem. U. S. Secretary of State Dulles, British Foreign Secretary Harold MacMillan and French Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay met for more than two hours Friday. They approved, with slight modi fications, the plans their experts have been laying for two months Then the ministers went over and showed it to Premier Faure, the only one of the Big Four now in Pans. No official account was avail' able of the agreed texts, but these points about them emerged from talks with persons familiar with them: 1. There is no plan to talk about Indochina or other Far Eastern questions unless the Russian bring them up. 2. No specific pacts are to be proposed by the West at this stage. 3. The mam topic dealt with is the intertwined one of how to cre ate a reunified Germany that will not look to Europeans like a po tential cause of World War III. 4. The way will be left wide open to talk about all sorts of matters that any of the four coun tries may individually want to bring up. The Russians for example, are expected to raise their topics of "Western war propaganda" and "threatening American bases." The United States will want to talk about freedom for the Soviet satellites and the activities of in ternational communism. Bulganin Says Russians to Seek Peace (Story also on Page One) MOSCOW (Jl Soviet Premier Bulganin said Friday the Soviet Union is going to Geneva seeking peace but it has noted war preparations by other states. He observed that the U. S. S. R. has "a very good army with all the necessary equipment" to safe guard its security. Bulganin pledged the Soviet dele gation to the summit talks to great fforts to "attain the lofty aim of the conference, and expressed hope the other powers would exert equal efforts. The Soviet aim, he said, wul be to find a common ground for easing tension and strengthening confidence among states. The Premier read a statement, announced in advance as a gen eral declaration on the summit conference opening Monday. He apparently took note of the recent suggestion of French Premier Ed gar Faure on the possibility of using money saved in cutting arms production for improving stand ards of living. The Soviet Premier said relaxa tion of tension could lead to "bus uiessiise. cooperation among states. 2 Tots Die in Roseburg Fire G ROSEBURG un Two children. ,aged 1 and 2, died Friday from ; burns suffered in a house fire..
