1'cl Aviv, Oct. 20 (IP) The Is
raeli and Egyptian commands
throw all available forces into
battle in southern Palestine today
in an attempt to seize as much
around as possible before a Unit
It Nations cease-fire order goes
Tnto effect. ,
Preliminary arrangements for
issue of and compliance with the
"immediate cease-lire voted
unanimously by the UN security
council in Paris were expected to
take almost 'ii nours. as a result,
both the Jews and Arabs were ex
iieeled to strengthen their mili
tary positions as much as pos
sible.
The Egyptians moved consider
able forces from the southern Je-
usalem front to the Negev desert
irea and intensified their attacks
against newly-won Israeli posi

tightened Its sclge of Gaza, major
Egyptian base in southern Pal
estine, sealing all roads except
the one to the sea. ,
It was understood here that the
Israeli government was prepared
to conform to the cease-fire order
when it is received. The Egyp

tentions to abide by the cease-fire
if the Jews do.

ed surprise at the announcement
from UN headquarters in Haifa

front said the situation was "com-
annraffvelv nulot.v-- . -
ti ne security council s proposals

ces to positions held before the

"impossible of performance."

Egyptians no longer held a "co
herent front" in the Negev and
that the grand mufti of Jerusa

area had broken down completely.

Millions Sought
For Reclamation
Washington. Oct. 20 dpi The
interior department plans to re
quest close to $500,000,000 for
reclamation project construction
next year almost twice this
year's all-time hleh. it was learn.
ed today.
This, however. Is onlv tentative
since the estimate mav be chanc
ed by the budget bureau before
it goes to congress. And, of
course, it would be subiect to
further review in event of a re
publican election victory.
neeiamatton commiss oner Mi
chael Straus told congress last
February that the bureau would
need more than $424,000,000 for
the year beginning July 1, 1949.
Kenair Mot included
That figure did not include
maintenance and repair work on
old projects, operation of exist
ing projects and improvements,
and since then congress itself or
dered several new projects and
projects units into construction.
All this, plus some rise in con
struction costs will bring the
proposed fiscal 1950 work pro
gram to "just short of $500,000,
000." interior officials say.
For -fiscal 1949 the president's
budget requested $283,000,000,
congress approved $250,000,000.
School Bonds
Madras, Oct. 20 (Specis) Vo
ters of school district No. 9 voted
99 to 21 Monday in favor of a
$175,000 bond issue for the pur
pose of raising funds for enlarg
ing and expanding the Madras
grade school.
School district authorities said
they were gratified at the num
ber of votes cast and attributed
the turnout to the fact that the
election was publicized through
direct mall bulletins, news stor
ies and advertisements.
The enlargement and improve
ment program contemplated calls
for the addition oi six more
rooms to the present ten-room
plant.
Principal Ivan Luman pointed
out that enrollment has risen
from 141 in 1945 to the present
359, and he predicted an enroll
ment of nearly 500 next year.
Hunter, Coyote
Compete for Deer
Madras, Oct. 20 P. D. Lewis,
local city councilman, brought
back after a week end visit to
Gateway the story of a rivalry
between Herbert Vibbert, resident
of the north Jefferson county
community, an a coyote, in stalk
ing a buck in the nearby highland
forest. Vibbert spotted the deer at
a considerable distance as it stood
motionless in a copse. Creeping
sufficiently close he fired a death
shot. Immediately the coyote
raced for the carcass. Vibbeil
shot the coyote.
Examination of the carcass re
vealed the deer had previously-
been wounded by a hunter. The
coyote, attracted by the blood
smell, was stalking the animal in
expectation of an easily acquired
venison feast.

Atom Control
Plan Endorsed
By UN Group
Western Proposal Sets
Backing, But Russians
And Allies Against Move
Paris, Oct. 20 Ul'i The United
Nations political committee today
overwhelmingly endorsed the
western plan for control of atom
ic energy as a necessary basis for
eventual elimination of atomic
weapons. Only the soviet bloc ob
jected.
The vote' was taken paragraph
by paragraph on a Canadian res
olution, with the final roll call
approving It 41 to 6. The resolu
tion now goes to the plenary ses
sion of the general assembly for
what will be routine final approv
al. The effect of the committee
proceedings was to turn the atom
ic energy control problem over to
tne ug live and Canada, the com
mittee voted to ask those nations
to confer privately and try to find
a basis for agreement on atomic
energy and elimination of atomic
weapons from national arma
ments. .
Soviet Plan Rejected
The committee earlier rejected.
39 to 6, the soviet proposal on
atomic energy submitted two
weeks ago. It called for simul
taneous action in destroying the
American stockpile of atomic
bombs and creating an atomic en
ergy control agency.
1 he western powers objected to
the soviet plan, insisting that an
airtignt system or international
control and inspection would have
to be established before the Unit
ed States would feel safe in de
stroying its atomic weapons.
Would Outlaw Bombs
The western powers plan even
tual destruction and outlawing all
atomic bombs, but only after an
effective control system has been
established and proved workable.
This was the first time since
Bernard Baruch presented ., the
American plan to the atomic ener
gy commission in June, 1946, that
all of the United Nations had a
chance to vote on it. Previously
atomic energy was discussed only
in the security council and the
atomic energy commission.
Today's vote came on a Cana
dian resolution. It was voted by
roll call, paragraph by paragraph.

Power fo Flow Through New
Central Oregon Line Oct, 21
Miss Joyce Davis to Throw Switch Opening
New Circuit; Transformers on Way to Plant
Power will begin flowing over Central Oregon's new tmns
mission line Thursday afternoon when a switch is thrown at
Cove generating plant to put the new 60-mile circuit into
operation, W. A. Lackaff, district manager for Pacific Power
& Light company, announced today.
A number of Central Oregon civic, business and labor
leaders, plus a group of company executives, will be on hand
at the scenic power plant in the Crooked river gorge to wit
ness tlie actual start of opera-
tion.
Throwing the switch which
will open up new power sourc
es to this area will be Miss
Oregon, Redmond's own Joyce
Davis, Lackaff said. At her
elbow will be J. G. "Jim" Mc
Guffie of the power company s
Deschutes staff, oldest of the "old
timers" in the local power busi
ness, lie has had more than 40
years of experience in the. electric
industry, and was instrpme.ntBl
In building of the Cove plant.
Lackaff emphasized that for
the present the new transmission
line will be limited sharply in the
amount of power it can deliver
here until heavy new transform
ers, now en route, arrive and are
installed at The Dalles. He said,
however, that present deliveries
over the line will provide some
relief to the tight local power sit
uation and will give the system a
small margin it now lacks.
Transformer)) Awaited
Several weeks are expected to
elapse before the huge transform
ers complete their rail haul across
the country. They will be put to
work in Pacific's new $250,000
mainline substation which will
provide a connection with the
Bonneville system at The Dalles.
This connection will provide more
power capacity foj- the Central
Oregon lino.
Still more of the new line's car
rying capacity will go to work
when rebuilding is completed on
another section of existing trans
mission line to the north, Lackaff
said.

' Seoul, Kore". Oct. 20 ':U.E Nearly 4.000 communist-led

government today as Soviet Russia began a withdrawal of
its forces from the northern occupation zone. '
The government armed its police force with machine-guns

revolt, but hesitated to throw other constabulary troops into
the fight, fearing the entire United States-sponsored army
was infested with communist cells.

It was believed possible Rhee
would call on U. S. army forces to
assist In checking the uprising,
which police branded "an attempt

Meanwhile, wild rumors circu
