Lake Success, N. Y., Jan. 21 iipi
-Russia charged today that the
Mnitpd States was trying "fever
ishly" t" avoid international con
trol ot atomic energy.
Soviet delegate Andrei urom
wi made the complaint when
Jie United Nations disarmament

Is year.
Before the commission was an
Australian resolution which

said this was just another way of
veiling the acknowledged Anglo-
American aesire 10 aeiay aisarma
ment until political stability is

What's more, said Gromyko,
the United States is feverishly
looking for loopholes to avoid
atomic control.
Osborn nepues
American delegate Frederick
Osborn replied sharply. He was
sitting on the disarmament com
mission for the first time, but
recalled that he and Gromyko had
argued at length on the atomic
tommlssipn.
Osborn said that Gromyko fail
ed to accept the realities ot-atom
ic nroblems.
The UN Palestine, commission
postponed action on a resolution
that would open the way for for
mation ot an international army
to enforce peace in the Holy Land.
Main proposal before the com
mission was a suggestion by the
Philippines. It proposed that the
sKunty council determine wneth-
tr present circumstances in Pal
mine threaten world peace and
thai if they do, the council should
lake "peaceful" sanctions against
responsible governments or per-
ions.

Officials said that damage to the

which was lost would approach
$1,500,000. V-
Passengers credited the hero
ism of crew members for their
escape. The crew scrambled back
through the fuselage, opened an
emergency exit and helped the
passengers leap from the flam

One of the passengers was a
man with an artificial leg. He
was half-carried, half-dragged to

back from the starboard engines,
devoured the ship.

placed before the city council.
The-proposal, drawn up by City

ed 58 new classes of business and
professional groups subject to the
ordinance. It spanned the field
from accountants to zoo keepers
and Included horse traders, doc

Federal, state and city em

A. F. Whitney, president of the
Independent Brotherhood of Rai

cant of recent recruits to Presi
dent Truman and his program.
In Mav, 1946. when the prps'dent
broke 'the railway strike Whitney
promised vengeance. He said his
union would spend "millions to
defeat" President' Truman in
1948.
But Whitney emerged from the
White House yesterday announc

with the president. He said he
was for President Truman's elec
tion and predicted any of the re
publican hopefuls could be licked
this year.
"Senator Taft would be the soft,
est bet." said Whitney, predicting
that the top presidential cam
paign issues would be cost of liv

control act.
Whitney came here fresh from
resigning from the Progressive

outfit which with the communist
party is most active in Wallace's

Boy Starts Trip
To New. Home
Cecil Snyder, the 11-year-old
schoolboy who was charged with
the murder of his father, left yes
terday for a new life at Boys
Town, Neb.. Father Flanagan's
far-famed village for the rehabili
tation of problem youths. Accom
panying him on the trip was How
ard S. Page, of Coeur d'Alene,
Ida., northwest representative for
Boys Town, who came to Bend
when petitions for Cecil's admit
tance to the school had attracted
the Interest of the school's board
of directors.
Deputy sheriff Harry Johnson
took Page and the boy to Red
mond last night and J. W.
Schrunk met them and drove the
pair to The Dalles, whore they
boarded a train.
Cecil admitted putting strych
nine in lunch-box sandwiches
which caused the death of his fa
ther, Joseph V. Snyder, 59. De
cember 12. The boy told officers
that his father had punished him
severely and made threats against
his life.
Wiilo Attention Attracts
The boy's plight attracted wide,
spread attention, and numerous
sympathizers sent cards and let
ters to Sheriff C. L. McCauley
and District attorney A. J. Moore,
urging clemency for the lad. Cash
gifts, totaling $23, had been re
ceived from interested persons,
and this money was turned over
to the Page, who was appointed
by the court as the boy's legal
guardian.
Duncan L. McKay, of Bend, and
George H. Brewster, of Redmond,
handled the case without re
muneration. "It was such a pa

wanted to do what we could for
the sake of the boy."

that the new area might be more

However, the matter was not
brought to a vote last night.

Mayor Hans Slaesvold said a
change in location of the pool
would Ipvolve no changes In
swimming pool plans being pre

and associates, of Portland. The
city's only loss In transferring
the pool might be money spent on

No complete plan has yet been
made for development of the new

as East Eighth street. A few
privately owned lots are Included
In the general boundary of the
area, but the city owns desirable
lots adjacent to the park which
.may be traded for lilts within the

Objection Voiced
A strong objection was voiced
by Commissioner W. J. Baer last
night to the proposal of the na
tional guard to erect a quonset
hut on the armory site at the
corner ol Kansas avenue and
Wall street. The national guard
has requested a lease from the
city and proposes to erect a quon
set building to serve as tempo
rary quarters for Company I.
Baer said the site "should be
used for an up-to-date armory or
nothing," and added that a tempo
rary building would delay the con
struction of a permanent armory
In Bond. He later added that an
other location away from the cen
ter of town might be found. "If
they're going to build a quonsot
hut, lot them build It In a quonset
place," Baer said.
A conference with state offi
cers nf the national guard Is plan
ned for today when the officers
are In Bend for a Company I rally
scheduled for tonight.
Inspections Asked
Baer requested that Fire chief
LoKoy S. Fox be requested to
make inspection of all public
buildings, such as schools, gym
nasiums, dance halls and thea
ters, and to make a written report
to the commission. Baer said the
commission should find out If any
fire traps exist in the city, and
said he wished he had called for
the inspections earlier so that a
report could have been made be
fore the school bond election on
Monday.
The commission recommended
that $3,000 be placed In the city
budget for 1948-49 to support a
municipal band. This amount was

Woman Reports
Chehalis, Wash., Jan. 21 (Ul
Tho state of Washington, where
the first flying saucers were re
ported outdid itself today.
A woman reported that she had
sighted a "flying man."
Mrs. Bornlce Zalkowski, 61,
Chehalis, said she saw a man
with wings attached to his back
fly over her barn at an altitude
of 200 feet and disappear to the
south.
Mrs. Zalkowski said the upright
blrdmnn made a "slzzing and
whizzing" noise as he climbed
and banked in flight, but that his
wings neither flapped nor rotated.
She said she could see no motive
power such as a propeller either
above or In front of him.
Authorities greeted the report
with an oblique "huh?"
Gets Good View
But the Polish-born Mrs. Zalk
owski insisted she had a good
view of the aeriallst as he skim
med her barn on Jan. 6. She said
that some school children were
with her at the time and ran to
her back yard "for a better view."
Officials at McChord field, Ta

any "birdmen" It was news to
them.
Chehalis Is not far from where
the original "flying saucers" were

German Workers on Strike
In Coal-Rich Ruhr Territory
Nuernberg, Jan. 21 Uli-An es
timated 200,000 Gorman workers
struck In the coal-rich Ruhr and
In the American zone today in
protest against food conditions.
More than 100,000 Industrial
and office workers walked out
In the big Rhinoland city of Col
ogne and a similar hunger strike
was reported to have brought out
a number of workers In nearby
r.ssen. The Cologne strike was
expected to last throughout the
day.
Thirty thousand metal work
ers struck for a half day In Nuern
berg starting at noon and union
leaders said that the city's entire
labor force with the exception
of transport workers would Join
In.
There was no accurate estimate
available of the number of Nuern
berg strikers. The city's popula
tion Is about 400,000.
The food shortage, according to
Allied officials, Is the result of
flaws ln German food collections
and distribution.
Food unrest originated In tho
Rhur when tho area's fat ration
could not bo fulfilled for three
wooks recently. To molify the In
dustrial workers, food authorities
reduced rations in the American
zone In fuvor of tho Ruhr. Strikes
then began In tho American zone.
At least 30,000 strikers are ex
pected to demonstrate In Nuern
berg's principal square, the Hntipt
market, during the nfternoon In
protest against the state govern
ment's refusal to adopt tho Ba
varian union's seven-point food
collection plan.
This program demands state
confiscation of all food, closing
of luxury restaurants and other
austerity measures.
