The driver of the truck, a Consolidated rig, was Jack R. Grissey, who said the Engle car, heading south, suddenly swerved over to the wrong side of the road and continued directly ahead to the point of impact. Grissey said he applied his brakes when he saw that af collision was inevitable, but could not avoid the crash.

Be fore the body could be removed from the wreckage," the car had to be torn apart. The body was brought to Bend. Grissey was not injured. He was alone in the truck. Officials Called - State Officer Floyd Chestnut was called from Bend, and later was assisted in the investigation and in detouring traffic around the wreck by Sgt. L. L. Hlrtzel.

No. 91 Red Delegate Makes Blast At Opposition Paris, Sept. 22 (IP) The western big three tonight delivered a note to Russia asking the Soviets in effect whether or not they ac cepted four-power control of Ber lin. . The new western approach to the Soviets reversed a reported conclusion that the big three could not do business with Rus sia on the Berlin crisis, and had decided to refer the matter to the United Nations. . The plan to call Russian before the court of world opinion in the UN was reported earlier today to have been delayed by French in sistence on making one more try at getting the Berlin blockade lift ed by negotiation. Conflict Brought Up Russia brought the east-west conflict Into the open at the Unit ed Nations meeting when Andrei Vishinsky accused "certain dele gations" of trying to foment dis unity in the UN ranks. The soviet delegate's expected blast at the western powers came after the west outvoted the east in organizational elections. The attack was made in connection with a soviet effort to take off the agenda a proposal to admit Italy and five other countries to the UN, despite a Russian veto. Waving his arms and pointing -repeatedly at -Jose Arce, delegate from - Argentine, who offered the proposal, Vishlnskv argued that it would violate the UN charter. "But some nations do not seem to be interested any longer in go ing by the charter." he said. "Per haps they do not want a United Nations, but a disunited nations. That is the conclusion one must draw from the activities of cer tain delegations." Vishlnskv even dropped what could be taken as a long range hint that Russia might not al ways be a member of the UN. He implied that he felt there was a move afoot to drive the Russians out.'-.", -. ("''' ..-. Utah Senator Charges Krug Washington, Sept. 22 (IP) Sen. Arthur V.

"Secretury Krug's reclamation bureau will receive this year $100,000,000 more than it got in " fiscal 1948 appropriations. Un less he has dissipated those funds already by unwise administration, the secretary should have ample credits to carry on reclamation." , Watklns said this was not the first time that "congress has brought to light the manipula tion of reclamation funds." ortland Plans Larger Airport Portland.
