day after the plane skidded into
a snowbank and caught fire when
It landed in early morning dark
ness at Logan International Airport.
The $1,000,000 airliner was al

four engines while 20 passengers
and five crew members jumped or
dropped 15 feet from a doorway
on the opposite side ' into snow
banks. Enroute from Miami to
Newark, the plane was rerouted
first to New York and then to Bos
ton because of stormy weather.
Seven persons were treated In
hospitals and six others were giv

Power Demand
Hits New High
Willi Cold Days
Mountain States
Fighting Shortage
This week's cold snan rIM
in an all-time record use of elec
tricity through the Eugene
Springfield metropolitan area, Eu
gene Water Board and Mountain
States Power Co. officials reported
vneunesaay.
In Springfield, the power
shortage resultinc mainiv fmm
increased use of heatine ap
pliances on cold mornings has
been so acute that Mountain
States has been forced to cur
tail service to several mills
during peak load periods. Even
so, it has been impossible to keep
voltage throughout the Springfield
area at prescribed levels.
Able to Meet
Monday morning brought a
peak demand in Eugene of mre
than 30,000 kilowatts, but with
the availability of Bonneville
"dump" power and full utilization
of its own plants the water board
was able to meet the demand
without incident.
Actually, Superintendent Ray
Boals announced Wednesday, the
record load on the Eugene sys
tem came a week ago Monday
when the demand rose to 31,400
kilowatts at one time during the
morning. Far exceeding any pre
vious "peak," Boals said, this load,
like subsequent peaks during the
past week, was due largely to the
number of space heaters pressed
into service in addition to the
regular power demand.
Relief Power
Boals reported that discussions
are being carried on with the
Mountain States Co. regarding the
possibility that the water board
may be able to supply emergency
relief power to the Springfield
system.
He said, however, that due to
the heavy demand of the water
board's own customers it will not
be possible to turn the output of
the Leaburg generating plant over
to Mountain States as was done
previously to assist the Spring
field company.
Had BPA Aid
Boals explained that the Lea
burg arrangement was possible
before because the water board
was able to get sufficient addi
tional power through E-PA to meet
its own needs.
.These needs- are so . high at
present that Bonneville could not
provide the difference if Leaburg s
output were turned over to Moun
tain States, he said.
Not Alone ,
From Albany, R. C. Sipe, divi
sion manager for the private
power company, told the Register
Guard that the present power
shortage is general throughout the
Mountain States system, but Is
most noticeable in lumber cities
such as Springfield.
The combined industrial and
residential power demands of
these cities are pyramiding faster
than they can be met, he said.
Sipe recalled a letter the Moun
tain States Co. sent to all its cus
tomers recently stating that the
general Northwest power famine
will not be alleviated probably
until after the completion of Mc
Nary Dam on the Columbia River.
A Mountain States Co. official
at Springfield reported Wednes
day that the utility has been
forced to refuse power to any
new industrial consumers in. re
cent months. Residential hook
ups are still being made when
ever materials are available, he
said.

Tito Claims 'A' Bomb
In 'Secret' Speech

Voce Libera published Wednesday
a purported "secret speecn Dy
Premier Marshal Tito of Yugo
slavia in whiph hp was Tpnortpd
to have said that Yugoslavia has
atomic bombs. .
The newspaper said Tito, in a
speech to his party executives at
Zagreb, on Nov. 18, 1947, claimed
that Yugoslavia had 150 divisions,
atomic bombs and jet propelled
planes for the "final annihilation
of reaction."
The paper said It had had the
text of the speech for a month,
but delayed publication, until it
learned it was authentic and hsd
been published in "dissidence 40"
pro-De Gaullist French news
paper. La Voce Libera quoted Tito as
saying that reactionary forces,
with the aid of American and Bri
tish capital, were working against
the "Yugoslav proletariat," but
that he had a "very strong, well
organized army which do not feed
chocolate and sweets but which
stands in readiness, not only to
prelect our frontier?, but also to
oust the division of ganssters con
centrated in Italy and Austria."
The quotation went on:
"We are ready to sink their
Hoot in thp Adriatic: acainst their
atomic bombs we shall use our
own. We do not stand alone this
time.
"Our jet propelled fighter
planes and our artillery will ef
ficaciously discourage visits by
enemy aviation. Our material
comes from an inexhaustible
source. Our lines of transport will
never be cut.

LIBERAL PARTY leaders
meet Wednesday to consider
73-year-old Prime Minister W.
L. MacKenzie King's offer to re
sign as head of the party to
make way for a younger man.
After 22 Years,
King May Retire
By ROBERT BUNNELLE
OTTAWA (If) Prime
Minister William Lyon MacKen
zie King says he wants to retire
as leader of Canada's dominant
liberal party, and thus accord
ing to dominion tradition as
Prime Minister, as soon as the
party names nis successor.
In an address before the Na
tional Liberal Federation's Ad
visory Council Tuesday night, he
asked that a liberal convention be
summoned next summer to select
his successor as the party's boss.
Political circles interpreted the
73-yeaT-old Prime Minister's
carefully qualified remarks to
mean that he wants to get out of
office and politics this year, but
that he would consent to being
drafted if the country needs him
further.
King, who has been in office for
all but five and a half years since
Dec. 29, 1921, would by April 2U,
1948, surpass the empire record
for length of prime ministerial
service, set by Robert Walpole of
Britain, who served for 7619 days
early in the 18th century as head
of Britain's government.
Informed political sources pre
dicted that Louis. St. Laurent, 66-year-old
Minister, of External Af
fairs, would be chosen to succeed
King, both to the party leadership
and the Prime Minister's post
WASHINGTON (IP) Ap
proved "as is" by the House Re
publican leadership, the $5,600,-
000,000 tax slashing bill moved
Wednesday toward swift House
passage and a virtually certain
veto.
Democrats mobilizing to battle
the measure claimed enough votes
to block its final enactment, how
ever, unless the Senate trims the
size of the tax cut when the legis
lation reaches that body.
Vote Next Week
Speaker Joe Martin (R-Mass)
set the House vote for next week,
probably Friday.
The House Republican steering
committee, in approving the meas
ure late Tuesday, refused "Jlatly
to make any concessions that
might attract Democratic support.
A two-thirds majority is needed
in both houses to overturn a pres
idential objection. ,
Will It or Won't It?
Democratic leader Sam Rayburn
of Texas told reporters "the bill
as it is will never become law,
and I think the Republicans know
it."
But Rep. Knutson (R-MinnV
author of the measure, shot back
that Rayburn is "indulcine In
Labor Issues
Still Unsettled
Labor negotiations in Eugene
betveen building contractors and
carpenters, lumber operators and
workers, electrical contractors and
electrical workers were apparently
stalled Wednesday following a
rash of meetings on the part of
various groups.
Electrical and construction con
tractors met Tuesday after an un
determined number of carpenters
left work Monday, and members
of Electrical Workers Local 659
(AFL) remained off their jobs fol
lowing an earlier walkout. Both
unions are asking a 25-cent hourly
increase.
No Comment
Roy Stien, president of the Gen
eral Contractors Assn. of Eugene,
had no comment to make on re
sults of the meeting. D. W. Barker,
president of the Lane County
Electrical Contractors Assn. de
clined comment, and Allen Ham
ilton, chairman of the negotiating
committee of the association, could
not be reached after repeated at
tempts. There was no comment from the
local carpenters union office.
Lumber operators and workers
met Tuesday and recessed with
out conclusive results after a
union request for a 30-cent hourly
increase. Both groups were re
ported returning to their consti
tuents to determine authority for
further talks.
Wouldn't Delay
Eldon Kraal, secretary of the
Willamette Valley District Council
of Lumber and Sawmill Workers,
stated that the previous proposal
of the operators to recess negotia
tions until late in February was
refused by representatives of Ore
gon fir industry workers at a
Portland meeting with operators
Jan. 8 and 9.
George Melzger, secretary of the
Willamette Valley Lumber Opera
tors Assn., said there has been no
reply to a written proposal on re
cess and indicated the Portland
proposal had been verbal only.

"The bill will become law."
The GOP leaders ignored Pres
ident Truman's substitute proposal
calling for a $40 "cost of living"
tax cut for everyone and a com
pensating $3,200,000,000 excess
profits levy on corporations.
Closed Door
The Ways and Means committee
was called into closed door ses
sion to consider the Knutson
measure. But with Republicans
outnumbering Democrats 15 to 10,
the committee's formal approval
was virtually certain.
Martin told a news conference
after the steering committee de
cision that the Republicans will
slash Mr. Truman's $39,700,000,000
budget to make room for the tax
cut and a payment on the national
debt of at least $2,000,000,000.
Knutson's bill would:
1. Raise individual exemptions
by $100. from $500 to $000.
2. Let husbands and wives in
all states split the family Income
for tax reporting purposes, thus
holding it within lower tax brack
ets.
3. Grant percentage cuts, rang
ing from 30 per cent In the lowest
income bracket to 10 per cent In
the upper brackets.

Arrested following the Dec. 12
death of his father, Joseph V.

tinder Parole
Circuit Judge R. S. Hamilton
paroled Cecil to the juvenile court
where Judge R. S. Hamilton con
ducted a hearing based on his
being a dependent child. Howard
S. Page, Coeur D'Alene, Idaho,
representing Father Flanagan's
Boy's Town, asked that the boy
be released to him to live at the
famed Nebraska town. The peti
tion was grantedi with the court
holding the boy under parole un
til he is 21.
Decked out in new clothes,
bought by money which was sent
to the sheriff from interested
persons in all parts of the coun
try, Cecil seemed confused and
uncertain of what life at Boy's
Town would be. Told that he
could sing in a choir there jail
attendants said he had a "beau
tiful" child's voice he only look
ed about unhappily and said he
would rather wear his old clothes
because they were "more com
fortable." He was unsmiling and
seemingly apathetic as he started
on the first train ride of his life.
Cecil's mother died when he
was born. He has seven brothers
and sisters, the youngest 16, all
of whom had left home previously.
Poultrymen Ask
Grain Relief
The Lane County Poultrymen's
Assn. Tuesday requested the Com
modity Credit Corp. to stop buy
ing grain from this area "because
if the present buying continues
we will not have sufficient grain
to last until next harvest."
In a resolution adopted at its
annual meeting, the group thank
ed Senators Wayne Morse and
Guy Cordon for their work to aid
poultrymen on the feed situation
and pointed out that wheat stock
piles are virtually disappearing
from Pacific Northwest farms.
This, poultrymen asserted, may
cause a serious shortage later in
the year.
The group elected J. C. Jager,
Junction City, president; Harold
Olson, Rt. 2, Eugene, vice presi
dent; "ames Hemsnway, Cottage
Grove, secretary; and R. H. Bauer,
F'ver Road, F-ed Blake, Rt. 5,

Dimes Drive
Goes Slowly
A treasurer's report Wednesday
showed that the March of Dimes
drive in Lane County so far has
collected only $1727.65 of Its goal
of approximately $24,000.
This year's' anti-polio drive is
supposed to bring in 30 cents per
resident of the county. Estimating
the population at 80,000, drive
workers figure their goal at
"slightly higher" than last year's
$23,000.
The report from Treasurer Jim
Mountain, First National Bank,
was tabulated at the close of busi
ness Tuesday evening.
Receipts from checks, the street
collection tables, and from Dick

were not figured.

Self-Support
Due for Japan
WASHINGTON Ml The
United States notified the Far
Eastern Commission Wednesday
that it is planning to undertake
measures to make Japan "self
supporting at the earliest possible
time."
An American statement pre
sented to the 11-nation agency
which runs allied policy on Japan
disclosed that the Army will ask
Congress soon for funds for the 12
months beginning July 1 not only
to provide bare necessities for the
Japanese people but also to supply
industrial raw materials, spare
parts, and other Items required for
expansion of peaceful Japanese
production.
Maj. Gen. Frank McCoy, Ameri

nesday's meeting:
"The United States government,
recognizing that the cooperation
of the Far Eastern Commission and
its member states is essential to
the successful accomplishment of a
program for bringing about a self
supporting economy in Japan, re
quests favorable consideration of
future policies to be presented to
the commission toward this end."
Snyder Predicts
US to Support
Foreign Money
Underwriting Seen
Plus Marshall Plan
WASHINGTON (AP)
Secretary of the Treasury
John Snyder said Wednesday
Congress may be asked to pro
vide funds to support the
value of European moneys.
This would be in addition to
the billions asked for the
Marshall Plan.-
He did not say how much,
but told the House Foreign
Affairs Committee that the
time will be "possibly" this
year and "probably" next.
It will come, he said, when the
European countries are showing
progress toward steadying their
currencies by balancing their bud
gets, increasing production and
expanding trade.
The committee Is holding hear
ings on the so-called Marshall
Plan for four years of general
economic aid to 16 western Europ
ean countries. President Truman
has asked $6,800,000,000 to finance
the first 15 months of the program.

Petrillo Replies
To Congressmen
, WASHINGTON W) Jame
C. Petrillo denied Wednesday
there is any conspiracy between
his American Federation of Musi
cians and the long-established
radio networks to hold back th
growth of FM (frequency modu
lation) broadcasting.
Petrillo told the House Labor
Committee he met with represen
tatives of the fledgling FM indus
try a tnonth ago and tentatively
agreed to "make a deal" with
them on use of musicians but said'
he told them: '
Banned Musio
"I have got to talk to the regu-'
lar (AM) networks first."
Petrillo has banned "live" musle
on FM networks and the duplica
tion of music programs on AM and
FM networks. He also has prohib
ited union musicians from making
phonograph records.
As Rep. Owens (R-IH) ques
tioned him about his relations with
the old-line radio networks in con
nection with FM, Petrillo screwed
his chubby face into a grimace and
broke in:
"Please, Mr. Congressman, If
there's anything in your mind
about a conspiracy between the
American Federation of Musicians
and the AM networks, please dis
miss it. It's not so."
He explained that he wanted to
consult the old-line networks first
because they pay his union mem
bers $23,000,000 a year "and it"
wouldn't be good business" not to
consult them.
