A good many Democrats in the Senate will have to be re minded vigorously and often that the nartv campaigned on a clear, cut pledge to repeal the Taft Hartley Act and to enact the Wagner Act and that the party won Its victory on that basis."

Norway Decides To Join West OSLO, Norway W) Norway has decided to risk Russia's dis pleasure and cast her lot with the West by Joining the North Atlan tic talks. Despite Soviet warnings, the dominant Labor Party has ap proved the pro-Western foreign policy of Foreign Minister Halvard M. Langc, The vote at a party meeting was 229 to 33, but the opposition Sun day decided to make the vote unanimous. Parliamentary approval, which still is necessary, is expected this week. All part'es except the small Communist representation are backing Langc's policies. Observers said it is only a ques tion of time before Norway joined the North Atlantic pact negotia tions in progress in Washington. They said the U.S. timetable prob ably would be tho deciding factor on when the Norwegians join. Lange stressed the belief it is necessary for Norway to turn to the West for protection because he believes the United Nations alone Is not capable of ensuring peace. Norway's leaders feel a regional defense system offers more protec tion for small nations. But they rejected a Scandinavian pact with Sweden and Denmark because they believed that too could not afford them the security they need unless it were tied in with the North Atlantic pact. The projected North Atlantic alliance would link the lefenses of the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. The Norwegian Labor Party action killed Swedish and Danish hopes for a last-minute change in the Norwegian attitude. Bomb-maker Goes to Court BEVERLY HILLS, Cal. U.PJ William J. Ward, who blew up the home of nightclub owner Herman D. Hover and planted three other homemade bombs before his cap ture by police, appears in Beverly Hills police court Monday for ar raignment on attempted murder charges. Police said the former boiler maker and prospector admitted setting the homemade bombs "to get even" with California Indus trial Accident officials who de nied his compensation claims. When arrested he had a list of seven doctors and officials. Crude bombs were found at four of the homes. Ward said he mistakenly blew up Hover's home because he thought one of the doctors lived there. , The 55-year-old diabetic led police to a cache of dynamite and partially finished bombs Saturday near the Los Angeles River after a frenzied search had failed to lo cate 200 pounds of explosives he was known to have purchased.

The commission laid down a list of 22 recommendations in a re port which said the reins over this country's dealings abroad now spread out all over the govern ment should be concentrated squarely In President Truman's hands. While some of the group's sug gestions were directed to Congress, most were aimed straight at the State Department. That agency, the commission declared, has fal len to "low esteem" with law makers, the press, the public and many of Its own officials. The main reason for this, the report said, is the department's postwar work overload. The 12-man bipartisan Commis sion oh Government Organization is headed by former President Herbert Hoover. As vice-chairman, Secretary of State Acheson helped draft the recommendations for improving the department he came to head. Those proposals included: 1. Letting the department drop such operating functions as handl ing passport visas, munitions con trol, aviation and shipping, so it can concentrate on policy matters. 2. Providing the secretary with Longest Pinochle Game Passes Time TIMBERLINE LODGE (U.R) The longest pinochle game in the history of Timberline Lodge con tinued Monday among the ski resort's employes marooned by record snow drifts. Manager Bill Temple said the game began two days ago and showed no sign of letup. - Erie Swanson, assistant man ager, anxious to keep a wedding date with Miss Helen Farley of Oakland, Cal., next Sunday, tossed a suitcase on a toboggan and slid CVA Leaguers Pledge Action PORTLAND ffl Columbia Valley Authority League members have pledged themselves to. an ac tive campaign to acquaint the re gion with objectives of the basin development proposal. Speakers told 250 delegates from 10 farm and labor organiza tions claiming 600,000 members that they must raise funds to meet the money which they said would be spent to defeat the river con trol plan. Rep. Hugh B. Mitchell (D Wash), reelected president of the league Saturday, told the assem bly that "CVA is an urgent and practical necessity not a dream of do-gooders." He said the plan was "President Truman's fair deal for the Columbia." Governors Criticized Mitchell, who wrote the origi nal CVA bill of 1945, criticized Republican governors of Oregon, Idaho and Washington for oppos ing the federal proposal. "These foolish men do not realize that creation of a CVA will lead to the greatest period of prosperity the Northwest has ever known." The granddaughter of the late Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Mrs". Van Seagraves of Portland, spoke for the plan. She said the Colum bia development was one of "grandfather's dreams." Fishing Controversy Henry Niemela, representing the CIO Fishermen's Union, raised the only controversial issue at the league day-long meeting. He In sisted fishing Interests be given full recognition In the over-all planning. In reply to this E. M. Weston, president of the Washing ton State Federation of Labor, said "we don't want the fishermen to tell us that we can't go ahead with the Industrial development of the Northwest because it might kill a few fish." All executive board members and vice-presidents were reelect ed. John L. King, a Washington stale granger and a regent of the University of Washington, re placed Mandel Nicder, Seattle, as league treasurer. Prompt action on the CVA pro posal of President Truman was predicted, The assembly was ad- vised a presidential assistant was due In the region within two weeks to. interview groups on legislative needs.

There shuold be two new deputy undersecretaries, eight assistant secretaries instead of six, and a general reshuffling of functions, the report said. 3. Building up a team of expert negotiators to represent the Uni ted States at international confer ences an arrangement already started with the appointment of Philip C. Jessup as a special am bassador. The top officials, the commission said, "are needed in Washington." v 4. Gradual merging of the Foreign Service and regular State Department establishment into a single Foreign Affairs Service, with all employes obligated to serve either at home or overseas. S. Giving such responsibility to ambassadors and ministers abroad that there could be no conflict with other American representa tives on the scene. Along with these recommenda tions, the group turned thumbs down for the present on any move to transfer the military govern ments of Europe and Japan to civilian control. The commission submitted its recommendations without any estimate of possible immediate savings, noting that postwar re adjustments already have cut down State Department personnel by 26 percent. at Lodge down the mountain. He sledded one-quarter of a mile to a spot cleared by snow plows and took a bus to Portland. - The last of the lodge's stranded 40 guests got out over the week end by ski or sled, Temple said. About 20-of' the resort's 40 em ployes were kept on the payroll. The rest were given free room and board. He estimated three days work by a bulldozer and snow plow would be needed to clear the last 1200 feet of road to the lodge, "if we have luck with the weather." Temple said there was plenty of meat and frozen vegetables. "We are out of lettuce, milk and beer." Hansel, the lodge's St. Bernard dog, was lost a short time Sunday. He strayed from a party of out bound skiers. . Eight Train Cars Derailed CHATSWORTH, Ga. (U.R) Eight cars of the Louisville and Nashville "Railroad's fast passen ger train, the Flamingo, jumped the tracks in rugged mountain country about five miles south of here Monday. First reports said no one was killed or injured. Most of the passengers on the Knoxville, Tenn., to Atlanta run were sleeping when the diesel powered train hit a broken rail and plunged from the tracks. W. A. West, L & N station agent here, said a high bank alongside the tracks at the point of the wreck prevented what could have been a major rail disaster. The cars leaned against the cliff and did not tourn all the way over, West said. The railroad was not even blocked by the accident, West said, because the wreck happened at a spot where traffic can be shunted around the debris on a side track. The train, due in Atlanta at 8:30 a.m., was barreling south through the mountains just about on sche dule when the rail gave away and sent the cars catapulting from the tracks.

Storm warnings went up on the Oregon coast Sunday for south east winds, 30 to 40 miles an hour. Sporadic showers were forecast for the region Monday. The Willamette River reached levels five feet above flood stage at Corvallis, Albany and Salem but damage was reported slight. Other streams throughout Oregon had spread and forced an esti mated 1700 persons at scattered spots to flee. About 150 homes were stranded near Lebanon, Tillamook, Philo math and Southeast Portland. At Oregon City the Willamette lapped into the Crown Willamette paper mill forcing it to suspend operations. The tug boat Peter-W was swirled against the Oregon City-West Linn bridge, shattering the pilot house and injuring the cniei engineer, six crewmen were unhurt. The bulk of Oregon's flood mi grants were in the vicinity. About 1000 were evacuated from flats near Glenwood and the Eugene Ferry Street bridge and were housed on the county fairgrounds and the University of Oregon cam pus. Snows continued In the moun tains and kept marooned winter sportsmen at Spout Springs. Tim berline Lodge's guest population managed to ski and toboggan over the weekend. Traffic Deaths Drop to Low Oregon traffic deaths dropped iu a six-year low iasi montb as accidents claimed 12 lives, the sec retary .of state's office has report ed.
