Ike Reminded By Reactor Of "Job as .Boy GENEVA W-I fcresiJent Eisen hower operated an atomic re search reactor Wednesday!

Atomic Enffrgy Com mission for display in collection with an international atomic con famnna tlavt niAnlh Eisenhower was fascinated by opeAitionof the research reactor, known as the "swimming pool" type. It is similar to otto which he inspected last month at Penn sylvania State University, where his youngest brother, Milton, is , pftident. Eisenhower walked , from the "pool" to the reactor control room and sat down at a panel full of pushbuttons. A guide explained how the re actor operates and invited Eisen hower to put it into action. When the President pushed the starter button bells clanged and indicat ors in the control room showed the reactor rods were being im mersed in the "pool." "What are we making Plu tonium or what?" the President Inquired. The guide said some Plutonium was being produced, "but mostly waste fissionable materials." v As he watched the automatic indicators, Eisenhower laughed and said that reminded him of a thermometer he had to watch when he worked in a creamery as a boy at Abilene, Kan. "If I ever let that thing get a degree too much, oh, brother, I was in trouble," Eisenhower v- said. f He noted that 24 nations of the free world already have signed agreements with the United States for participation in Amer ica's atoms-for-peace program. n minri Ikes Appeal Called a Natural'- that Jhe President would Hake such bid to mi friend of World War II dafSj Speculation tiad cen- rfy MARVIN L. fBOWSMITH itcred on how he would go about Of tha Aiuelitod f rrti it GENEVA ( President Eisen- He could have done it privately hower's dramatic personal appeal!" confidential- chat with the to RussFd'f Marfjal Georgi uviei aetense minister.

Prultt of Astoria was re-elected presi dent of the Oregn State district council of laborers at the AFL group's quarterly meeting here. Don Gessner, Coos Bay, was r elected vice president; G. W. Roy- . er, Portland, secretary-treasurer and business representative, and Dean A. Norton, Bend, sergeant-at-arms. Enterprising Soviets Find It's Still Possible to Get Rich Plan to Move Called Unwise MOSCOW Wl There are still I tricks that make millionaires in the Soviet Union especially ' if one knows how to apply a little private enterprise. But they can lead to prison. Trud, official newspaper of the Central Council of Trade Unions, exposes a group of suck opera-- tors - who pocketed two million rubles ($500,000 officially) by run ning a little state-owned elastic factory in the Moscow region. For two shifts daily they marked production for delivery to the state. Then they secretly con ducted a third shift whose output went into the black market. The proceeds went into their own pockets. So profitable was their opera tion that one partner had to buy his way into the little combine for 75,00!) rubles ($18,750). The ring prospered for two years before the law caught up with them. Two leaders got 25 years imprisonment each and the other figures went to jail for 20 years. Trud said when police searched the lodgings of a section foreman of this plant, named Ketsler, they found 502,075 rubles in cash, gold coins and other valuables, bonds and bank books. "Plush jobs at this factory were bought' and sold for substantial sums," the account continued. "When Ketsler took over the job of section foreman he, together with Shakin, was obliged to pay 75,000 rubles 'smart money1 to his predecessor, a man named Libin." WASHINGTON Wl- Rep. Nor blad (R-CTe) Wednesday pro. tested what he called tentative plans to place jurisdiction over the John Pay Dam project in Oregon under the Walla Walla, Wash., offjee of the Army Engine ers. He wrote Maj. Gen. S. D Sturgis Jr., chief of engineers, he felt it would be "very unwise" to move direction of the project from the corps Portland, Ore., office. Norblad said use of the Port. land office would be better for "geographical reasons" if for none other." "Highway and railroad reloca- tion will be major parts of the engineering work and as the rail road companies' offices are both Portland and the highway commission offices are located in nearby Salem and Olympia, it is evident that this vork could be much easier handled out of Port land," the congressman said. Norblad said he thought also it would be "unfair to the 100 or so families living in Portland who would be required to move if jurisdiction over the project is transferred to Walla Walla. Jordan River Use To Be Considered AMMAN, Jordan Wl The Jor dan Council of Ministers has de cided to set up a 4-member min isterial committee to study the plan of Eric Johnston for ex ploiting Jordan River waters be tween Israel and neighboring Arab states. Johnston, special emissary of President Eisenhower, is to arrive in Amman on Aug. 1. His talks during his fifth visit to the Mid dle East are expected to be final. Already Done PORTLAND UV- Army Engl neers here said Wednesday they were puzzled at a statement by Rep. Norblad protesting what he called tentative plans to put the John Day Dam project under the Walla Walla district. It already has been done., Ac cording to Col. David S. Parker, assistant district engineer, the order was signed July 12 and is regarded here as fully in effect. The order changed the Portland district boundary, pulling it back and extending the Walla Walla district foundary to include the I inka nn.i rtnm ,!u Firemen Plan Open House An open house for all area resi dents will be held Sunday by Willakenzie Fire District. The fire station at Coburg and Harlow Rds. will be open for in spection from 1 to 5 p.m. Mem bers of the volunteer fire crew and Fire Chief Robert Waters will be on hand to answer questions and demonstrate equip ment. There will be refreshments. Much of the equipment has been put in service since the station last was opened to the public. Two weeks ago the dis trict received a new auxiliary truck which Carries a multitude of rescue and first aid tools, as well as special equipment for handling fires under unusual circumstances. Also put into use within the last year was the 2-way radio system. Landscaping and interior finishing of the station have been completed within the year. The suburban fire district was organized three years ago and became operational 22 months ago. ganin again promptly rejected unification on that basis. Western hopes that the Krem lin leaders would change their minds were not bright. But American officials still saw a pos sibility that Eisenhower's appeal could lead the Soviets to take another look at their policy. ine resident prefaced his fer vent appeal by saying he would like Zhukov to listen carefully to his views on the thorny German problem. Eisenhowtr theft went op to say that Zhukov was an old friend of Ms and that the marshal knew that the President, speak ing tfs one old soldier to another, fever had uttered a word of un truth. The President then said that when lie accepted the command of the NATO forces in 1951, he did so because he believed the security organization was a true agency for peace. A soldier for 0 years, Eisen hower declared that he has had enough of war, that . he would have rejected the NATO com mand if he had not believed firmly that peace was the objec tive. PRIVATE CHAT The President also assured Bui- ganin, Zhukov and all the others in the conference room that the United States will never launch an aggressive war. Tha only time it will fight, he added, is in self-defense. Bulganin, who is at least the nominal head of the Soviet dele gation, replied in cordial and quiet tones that he accepted the words and promises of the President. But he added that since Eisen hower left the NATO command there have been some individuals who have made statements to the contrary. There was no indication that Bulganin named the indlvid uals. After the formal conference, Ei senhower and Bulganin had a pri vate chat at the buffet before leaving the building. Maybe Zhu kov had something to say there about the President's appeal to him. If there was any exchange on the matter, the two were keep ling it secret.
