Reporter, Posing
As Soviet Officer,
Caught by MP's
""VMlso Cdr'ont :aUtrjPct'.lS ln
An alleged Russian army offi
cer, seized today as he watched
war maneuvers of U. S. naval
and marine units was identified
as a reporter planted by his
newspaper "to test" security pre
cautions at the war games.
The San Diego Journal said the
man who first identified himself
to military police as a Russian
army officer was John d'Alfon
so, the Journal's civic center re
porter. :
Brig. Gen. Omar T. Pfieffer,
chief of staff of the Camp Pend
leton marine corps barracks, did
not take kindly to the gag and
said the reporter would be turn
ed over to the FBI because "he
made several statements that
could not be verified, had no cre
dentials and was wearing the uni
form of a foreign government."
"We at the Journal felt one
of the most important parts of
the maneuvers was the question
of security," George Chaplin,
Journal managing .editor said.
"We were simply testing this an
gle on our own."
Uniform Rented
Wearing a Russian uniform
rented from a costume shop,
d'Alfonso was picked up as he
watched the large-scale maneu
vers from a canyon side reserved
for civilian spectators.
Before his identity was reveal
ed, d'Alfonso first confused mil
itary officers with his "broken
English." Gen. Pfieffer first took
charge of "the Russian."
"Let him tell it to the FBI,"
Gen. Pfieffer said after d' Alfon
so's identity was revealed. "On
checking with Washington, no
record of him was found as be
ing accredited by the country
whose uniform he was wearing.
He is 'being delivered to the FBI
in San Diego."
Pfieffer said d'Alfonso gave his
name as Pitlrim Nadski, a colonel
in the Russian artillery.

British authorities said the
Russian announcement also spe
cified that bombing practice
would be held in the Kremmen
area 25 miles northwest of Ber

dor to Hamburg.
An air force official said it was
not surprising that airlift pilots
failed to see other phases of the

fcontrol, and Leland Brown
was in charge of the second
session of the afternoon,
given over to North Unit
problems, especially that of
providing additional storage
for the Madras lands. Brown
is attorney for the district.
Howard W. Turner, Madras,
president of the Oregon Reclama
tion congress, cautioned that
North Unit people may be- ap
preaching the Question oi addi
tional storage ,or tho, segregation
m a panicKy manner, as the re
sult of leaks that have developed
in me wickiup reservoir.
Warning Given
Charles E. Stricklin. state en-
gineer, countered by saying that
the effort to obtain additional
storage should not be retarded,
adding that the area is now in a
wet cycle which may lead to the
false belief that additional water
will not be required for the vari
ous projects. Arid years, he warn
ed, will result in serious prob
lems ones that should be solved
before they develop.
It was pointed out that prelim
inary steps to obtain additional
storage for the Deschutes proj
ect are now under way, with a
study of a site upriver from Ben
ham falls started. This is site
"G", which, if developed as a res
ervoir, will spread water over
part of the Camp Abbot meadows,
Lee McAllister, planning engl-J
necr from the Salem office of the
bureau of reclamation, reported
that some 170 holes have already
been bored in the floor of the
prospective reservoir, in . test
work. It was stressed that the
site now being studied is not the
one investigated at Benham falls
In connection with the prelimin
ary storage investigations for the
North Unit. The lower site at that
time was considered unsafe for
storage, because of a fractured
underlying formation.
Pumping Possible
Another possibility proposed
for additional North Unit storage
was a dam in the Deschutes river
gorge, west of Madras, with this
dam to generate power that could
be used in pumping water over
the high rim to the Madras lands.
It was indicated that two sites
are being considered. One is in
the Pelton area and the other is
upstream. It was proposed that
if the upstream dam be construct
ed it be in the Deschutes gorge
above the mouth of the Metollus
river, so there would be no inter
ference with the fish run up the
Metolius. Also, this site would be
some 200 feet higher than the
Pelton site a factor, it was said,
to be considered in pumping op
erations. Plans for the rehabilitation of
the Ochoco dam, for which an
emergeacy allocation of $350,000
has been made by congress, were
also discussed at the conference.
This sum is only a part of the
total required for the rehabilita
tion work, for use In the current
fiscal year. It is expected that
preliminary work on the dam will
start in the near future. Rehabili
tation of the dam was approved
as an emergency measure be
cause leaks have developed in the
old structure, making it unsafe
to store the maximum needed for
the Ochoco lands.
Officials Present

was devoted to a discussion of the

Compromise Sought in
Showdown
Cordon Visits
Deschutes
River Area
. First-hand Information : rela
tive to the upper Deschutes
river storage and recreation
problems was obtained by Sen
ator Guy Cordon today on a
visit that took him to - the
sprawling Wickiup reservoir
and back along scenic stretches
of the stream. :
The senator , reported on his
trip at -a forum meeting of the
Bend chamber of commerce,
held at a luncheon at the Tilot
Butte inn with : approximately
100 . persons present. Senator
Cordon said this was the first
time he had ever seen "the" beau
tiful upper stretches of the Des
chutes, above Bend".- In . the
Wickiup basin, the senator, ac-,
companied by James W. Taylorj
uescnuies project engineer, wit
nessed the work now under way
in an attempt to seal cracks that
have developed in the reservoir
basin, and into which some 1200-
acre feet of water disappeared
dally at the height of storage
this past season.
"But while we are doing all
we can do, it is apparent that we
must be afield, seeking other
possible sources of water Should
the Wickiup reservoir fall", the
senator declared. He said he
hopedj 'the' bureau- DfjTeclama
tlon would intensity-, its -efforts
at Benham falls, where a new
reservoir site is being investi
gated. . V
Lower Deschutes Studied
Touching on the possibility of
obtaining water in the lower
Deschutes, through construction
of a dam and puoiping plant,
Senator Cordon reported that en
gineers have promised that with
in 30 days a preliminary report
on the lower river project will be
ready. Two sites are under con
sideration down stream. Using
power developed at, a downriver
site, water would be pumped over
the high Deschutes rim to the
Madras lands.
On his trip to the upper Des
chutes today, Senator Cordon had
opportunity - to study both the
reclamation and recreation prob
lems Involved in the construction
of dams. He made the trip to
Wickiup with Taylor, who point
ed out features of the basin in
which it is proposed to store 180,
000 acre feet of water; Robert W.
Sawyer and Frank Sever, Port
land attorney, who were in one
car, and-John Wetle, Loyde Blak-
ley, Duncan McKay and C. J.
Morgan, in another car. Don H.
Peoples, who was on a hunting
trip, met the party at Wickiup,
and Senator Cordon returned to
Bend in the second car, down the
west side of the river.
Accompanying Senator Cordon
to Bend was Mrs. Cordon, who
was introduced at the luncheon.
Mrs. Cordon is a native of Prine
ville.
James W. Bushone. chairman
of the chamber iorum program,
presided at the meeting and was
introduced by Ed Hamm, cham
ber president. Sawyer introduced
Senator Cordon.

Meeting Held
As Way Out
Paris. Oct 8 IU1 Top officials
of the United Nations hunted des
perately today lor a compromise
formula which would keep the
Berlin crisis from coming to a
showdown vote in the security
council. i
Thev feared that a showdown
vote, certain to be vetoed by Rus
sia, would blow up the UN as It
now exists and step up the tem
perature of the cold war.
Foreign minister Juan A. Bra
muglla, chairman of the security
council; appeared to be In the role
of conciliator between the east
and the west. Early today he
talked for more than an hour
with Andrei Vlshlnsky, chief so
viet delegate to the UN. .
The purpose of the talk was un
derstood to be to find out wheth
er there was any basis for hope
that the Russians would accept
an American offer of a new coum
ell of foreign ministers meeting if
the Berlin blockade Is lilted.
- Compromise Possible
Most UN officials and most of
the delegations not Involved di
rectly in the Berlin dispute be
Ueved a compromise was possible.
In order not to jeopardize the pos
sibility, they sought to keep the
situation In Its current "prelimin
ary stage." Officials saw - two
possible preliminary steps short
of a showdown. They were:
, X, To try to get the Russians '
to hffrr-eTo ttfernlsricaff offer'df '
a new big four meeting the mo
ment the Berlin blockade Is lifted.
That would avoid any kind of a
vote in the security council.
2. Falling in the first step,
then, have the security council
produce a relatively mild resolu
tion which would In effect merely
appeal to the Russians and the
western powers to accept a rea
sonable compromise, such a reso
lution might even avoid any In
cident of the Soviets in the inter
est of getting a Russian accept
ance.
Should both those steps fall, ac
cording to responsible understand
ing of the behind-the-scenes man
euvers, then the council would
move on even closer to the point
of condemning Russia before the
world as an aggressor and a
threat to the peace.
