Page 2 Eugene Register-Guard, Bridges Objects To Silence At Dumbarton Oaks WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 VP Senator Bridge (R-N. H.) cau tioned in the senate today against the secrecy imposed on the Dum barton Oaks security conference and said congress will "not stand for the double-talk" surrounding United States proposals for an International peace organization. From what has been learned of the United States proposal, he said, a projected assembly repre senting all nations "will be a de bating society with no power save to discuss and advise", and "all power will be in the council which will be in the hands of the big four." Wants Press There Bridges' speech came after Sen ator George (D-Ga.) had suggest ed that general sessions of the Dumbarton Oaks . conference be open to the press. . Bridges said President Roose velt's statement to the conference delegates that "the four of us have to be friends, conferring all the time" confirmed suspicions that the big four "intends to dominate and that they will decide the peace provisions and policies of the world." Saying this is not only the basil for "Big power policies," Bridges added that the president's use of the personal pronoun "us" raised the question whether "big ruler politics" also was Involved under the domination of Roosevelt, Chur chill, Stalin and Chiang Kai-Shek. Charges Pre-Jndglng After Bridges completed his speech, Senator Hill (D-Ala.), act ing democratic floor leader, said the republican appeared to be pre judging the conference. "It is very evident," said Hill, "that the senator (Bridges) Is dis turbed by rumors. Ha should re serve his criticism until he sees what the conference does." Bridges asked Hill It he "be lieves In all the secrecy surround ing the conference." Hill replied that he favored all possible publicity, but that "they can't be informed what the con ference does until It has had time to reach Its decisions." Mrs. Lena L.
