Y (UB Physical Culturist Bernarr Mac Fadden parachuted 3000 -feet from a small airplane Satur day and landed safely in an alfalfa field. It was his way of celebrat ing his 81st birthday anniver sary, and his wife's 45th, both of which came last week. He landed near two doctors, a nurse and an ambulance, but he waved them away. "I feel fine," said the great exponent of feeling fine. "I just floated straight down. It was a wonderful feeling floating down." His bride of a year, Mrs. Johnnie Lee MacFadden, rushed to his side to bestow on him a kiss. She had objected to the jump but later was reconciled to the idea. "Oh, you made it," Mrs. Mac Fadden exclaimed, "Oh, you wonderful man." MacFadden said it really was nothing. "It's just something I've always- wanted to do," he said. More Parachuting (In Father of Quads Sits in Jail And Bemoans His Lot PORTLAND iff) L. D. Tigner, father of Portland's quadruplets, sat in the county jail Saturday and contended it wasn't his fault. Tigner was arrested upon complaint of his wife, Lucile, who swore out a warrant charg ing him with non-support. The Tigners have five children in addition to the quads. Disconsolately, Tigner told re porters that it wasn't his fault he wasn't supporting his fam ily. "I bring home all the money I make," he said. "I want to work but I can't get a job. I been all over. I been picking beans. Anybody picks up beans and totes those heavy sacks, he wants to work. "I'm famous for being the father of quadruplets, but I ain't famous for having a job." The quads, who will be 3 years old Monday, are not go ing hungry. They have a pri vate income from advertising contracts. BERNARR MACFADDEN k a Perilous Place) This Guy, Younger Than MacFadden. Bails Out Over N. Y. Skyscrapers NEW YORK P A free lance photographer did a repeat performance Saturday of his 1947 parachute jump into the towers of mid-Manhattan. Leonardo d'Atticolo, 28, for mer combat paratrooper, landed safely but precariously on a nine-story apartment building on 38th St. between Park and Lexington Aves. Actually, only the parachute landed. It hooked over a chim ney of the building and left d'Attolico dangling in midair. Police got him down while a crowd of several hundred looked on. In May of 1947 he also land ed without injury in a back yard. As in 1947, .d'Attolico told po lice he pulled the stunt to take movies over the city. He said he shot about 45 feet of film this trip. And, as in 1947, he said the pilot of the light plane on which he hitched a ride didn't know he was going to jump. In 1947 d'Attolico was charged with endangering other people's lives. But, he said, the judge let him off with a supended sen tence and a warning. A policeman asked him the name of the judge. "Magistrate Ramsgate," said d'Attolico, "and I'll never for get him." The policeman said he thought Magistrate Charles E. Rams gate would be sitting Satur day in night court, where d'At tolico probably would make an appearance. "Oh, don't say that!" pro tested the photographer. Russians Trumpet Call to Revolution f teems, we must be kicked n-1 ""us. uoes -"'" imagine that his do.. C u .u?ht ,he soul . .

Yugoslavia Is Urged To Admit Mistakes LONDON (UP) Rus sia Saturday issued a virtual call for revolution in Yugo-I slavia and warned Premier- Marshal Tito, that "effective measures" would be taken to "brine order to the unre-i strained Fascist offenders" of his regime. Radio Moscow broadcast the text of a new 2000-word Russian note to Yugoslavia, urging sup porters of the Communist Infor mation Bureau to "remove" Yugo slav leaders unless they "'admit their mistakes . . . and correct them." The information bureau does not doubt that the Communist party of Yugoslavia will be able to carry out this honorable tasK, the note said. Russians Persecuted The broadcast document de clared that Russian refugees h Yugoslavia were still being perse, cuted despite earlier Soviet warn. ings, and declared that "the gov. ernment will have to resort to , . more effective means to protect the rights and interests of Soviet citizens in Yugoslavia and bring order to the unrestrained Fascist offenders." The note charged that "Ges tapo methods of rule prevail throughout Yugoslavia" and that the "Communist Party of Yugo slavia has become a branch of the DOlitical police." The Russian document, deliv ered in Belgrade on Thursday, re (Continued on Page Four) K.ra:!b-"-:i Vint nf Mnrrincre She Thinks Not Chile Mobilizes Full Sea Fleet SANTIAGO, Chile U.PJ War ships were rushed to Chile's vital coastal mining areas Saturday and modified martial law was de clared in the entire country to counter what was described offi cially as the second Communist attempt in a week to overthrow the government. The entire naval fleet was mo- bilized to "isolate and occupy the coal mines in Concepcion and O'Higgins Provinces south of here, and the nitrate and copper mines in northern Chile where there are heavy United States investments. President Gabriel Gonzales Vi- dela said one-half of the fleet was sent south at dawn and the other half to the north. Reds Plan Revolt An official statement said the outlawed Communist Party was 'continuing to develop with in creasing intensity its revolution ary plans." It added that Communists were counting on a general strike in volving hundreds of thousands of government, banking and indus trial workers but that prompt ef forts bv Democratic leaders had frustrated the plans. They did not succeed, however, in preventing 2,500 miners in the I,ota and Lirquen collieries from going on strike. President Gabriel Gonzales Vi dela said this was another Com munist attempt to unseat him. Entire Foreign Aid Plan Gels Boost in Poll Senate Committee Majority Is For It WASHINGTON (UP) The $1,450,000,000 foreign military aid program will be approved by the joint foreign relations and armed services committee of the Senate, a poll of the 25-member group revealed Saturday night.- But this is no assurance that the plan to re-arm Atlantic pact powers and five other nations will breeze through the Senate with out heavy trimming. There is strong opposition from senators who are not members of the committee. A United Press survey showed that 13 members of the joint com mittee will support substantially the iull program asked by Presi dent Truman and Secretary of State Dean Acheson. Three sen ators suggested major spending reductions, six were undecided, and three were nc' available for comment. Chairman Tom Connally (D Tex.) warned that heavy re-, duction would "emasculate" the entire security program. On the other hand, Senator Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.) said that a 50 per cent House-approved arms cut didn't go far enough. The poll was taken after the house sliced$580,405,000 off the administration program. Republicans Styles Bridges (NH) Leverett Saltonstall (Mass.) and Raymond E. Baldwin (Conn.) were absent and were not polled. Sample comment follows: Alexander Wiley (R-Wis.) The Vanderberg-Dulles approach $1,000,000,000 for Atlantic pact na tions split evenly between cash and contract authority, appeals to me very much. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) "The House action was a step in the right direction." Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.) I'd go farther than the House (in cutting)." Esteg Kefauver (D-Tenn.) "I'm for the full amount." The joint Senate committee ended open hearings Friday with opposition from former Vice Pres ident Henry A. Wallace. It begins closed session work on the meas ure Tuesday. Connally hoped to send a bill to the Senate floor by next weekend. The House approved an $819,- 505,000 bill after cutting off $580, 495,000 for the pact nations. The bill included $211,370,000 for the Greece-Turkey military program and $27,640,000 for Korea, Iran, and the Philippines. &&W-.iiaaM aW i SAVINGS IN WATER HEATING BILLS are promoted by the little gadget being examined In this photo by Eugene Water and Electric Board Engineer ,11m Judson (right), and Control Board Operator Fred Gadsden.

County to Pay A Third Upon Juvenile Home Customers to Save in Off-Peak Periods The Lane County Court com. mitted itself Saturday to a one- third share of the proposed $13, 000 Juvenile Detention Home. W. H. Lynch, chairman of the fund-raising committee, told the court of the "urgent need" lor the home. He said that the price of the property on Marcola Road, on which the committee ltas an option, "is a sacrifice sale," and that the property would be worm more than the $l3,uuu. Lynch proposed that the coun ty court donate as much as pos sible toward the home out of the county emergency fund. County Commissioners Lee Raish and Walter Holland favpred the plan and the court then offered to pay one-third of the purchase price, When asked what he thought of the plan for a detention home to free juveniles from commit ment to the county jail, Judge Hurd said he believed "the old folks should be taken care of first." However he indicated later that he "would like to see it tried out." Another meeting with the coun ty court has been set at 3 p.m. Monday, Lynch said, to discuss the raising of the remainder of the needed funds. In the mean time, the court will meet with the district attorney to iron out legal aspects of the county's con. tribution. Other members of the fund raising committee at Saturday's meeting were Mrs. A. F, Holmer and Mrs. John C. McCloskey, both representing the Circuit Court Juvenile Advisory Council, and Mrs. Hazel Humphreys, repre senting Ensilon Sigma Alpha, Lynch represents Eagles Lodge No. 275, Eugene. Water Heating Reductions Due For the first time since "1942, the Eugene Water and Electric Board is ready to take new customers for off-peak water heating. To those who have been paying regular rates for elec tricity used by their water heaters, this will make possible substantial reductions in their .monthly water heating bills. The board expects to benefit through reduction of peak demands on' its electric system, The off-peak water heating Questionnaire : Out This Week Onl-Way Plan ; Facts on Workability Of System Sought r A 17 - point questionnaire will go out this week to all business and professional men in Eugene and to all property owners within the present one-way grid m an effort to get reactions on the operation of the system. Questions were drawn up by a joint committee of the Eugene Chamber ot com merce, the city council, and the City Planning Commis sion. A covering letter asks whether the grid system should be retained in its present form, retained in modified form, or abandoned en tirely. The letter says the ques tionnaire seeks to obtain: A factual comparison and an-. alysia ot the system upon traf fic movement, before and aft er Installation of the one way pattern. The relation of off-street parking facilities, public and' private, to businesses within the grid area. V An analysis of economic ef fects resulting from establish-; ment of the present grid sys, tern, with special emphasis upon plan was introduced by the municipal power system in 1937. It sained in popularity until 1942, when wartime in terruptions in the manufac ture of necessary control mechanisms forced a discon tinuance of the' plan. Now, in reinstating the serv ice, the Water, and Electric Hoard has added an Improvement that should make.it even more attrac tive than before. Basically the off-peak elec tric sales plan provides for re duced rates on energy used for water heating under an agree ment that the heaters may be turned off several hours each day during periods of "peak" demands on the municipal elec trical system f UniOnS Fori or Commoner.

A number of these time switches still are in use, and residents of homes where they are in serv ice enjoy the advantage of paying but 6.5 mills per kilowatt hour of interruntable energy, as com pared with an average electric rate of 1.14 cents.

'The general will be given a chance to make any statement he wants to, covering the charges brought against him,", said Hoey. "It's not so much that the com mittee wants to question him as to give him an opportunity to present his answer."
