Severe Cold Settles Over
Western Range; Millions
Of Livestock Starving
(By Unity! PreHH)
A Texas-born storm roared
northeastward across Dixieland
todav, carrying heavy snow,
knife like sleet and freezing rains
to the Atlantic coast and Croat
Lukes states.
Severe cold settled over the
western range states where an es
timated 5,500.000 cattle and sheep
were starving and freezing amid
giant snowdrifts. Skies were
clear, however, and all "operation
haylift" planes took wing to carry
feed to the imperiled stock.
Warning Issued
The U. S. weather bureau is
sued warnings that snow fall
would be heavy today throughout
the Ohio river valley and as far
east as Washington.
Snow fell at Baton Rouge, only
80 miles from New Orleans, and
reached a depth ot 10 inches at
Spring Hill, La. Schools closed in
21 Louisiana parishes.
Sleet in New Orleans dragged
down stately palm trees and
weighted the Spanish moss with
so much ice that limbs broke off
the live oaks. Louisiana's $1,000,-
000 strawberry crop was feared
to be a total loss and peach
growers in southern Georgia ex
pected to suffer heavily. Both
crops were in full bloom.
Temperatures Tall
Temperatures fell to 26 degrees
in the Rio Grande vailev, and
many of the area's 12,000,000 or
ange and grapefruit trees were
covered with ice. The valley's
25.000 acres of tomatoes appeared
to have been wiped out.
Sleet and snow fell at Galveston
and Corpus Christi, on the gulf
and an inch of snow covered cen
tral Mississippi.
Western states staggered today
I from the battering of one of the
rorst .winters in history. . .
The nation's housewives prob
ably will feel the effects eventu

Some of the effects, strangely,
may be beneficial.

An extended series of storms,
starting the day after New Tear's,
hit southern "California, lashed
through the coastal and Rocky
Mountain ranges, and swept 1,100
miles across the great meat lock

Maurice Tobin
Presents Case
Of Labor Law
Washington, Jan. 31 ll'i Secre
tary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin to
day presented to congress the ad
ministialion's case for a new la
bor law, but ducked a question
whether the law would give the
president power to seize indus-
ii ies in a national emergency.
That and the question of in
junctions seemed to be uppermost
in the minds of members of the
senate labor committee.
But when asked first by Sen.
Hubert H. Humphrey, Jr., IX,
Minn., whether the president
would have strike-seizure Lowers
under the recommended law, To-
bin said that question shuuld be
answered by the attorney pe l-1
eral.
Tobin asked the congress to re
neal the rennlilie.an 'tafi.tfai-iieu
labor law and re-enact the old
Wagner act with certain "im
provements." What the administration wants,
Tobin said, is a return to the
"philosophy" of the Wagner act
and "free" collective bargaining.
In response to other questions,
he loudly shouted that unions
should not be subject to the same
restrictions as corporations in
spending for political campaigns.

Atomic Energy
Commission
Makes Report
' Speedup in Production
Of Atomic Fuel, Bombs
Made; Expansion Seen
Washington, Jan. 31 ahThe
atomic energy commission today
reported a gigantic speedup in
production of atomic fuel and new
model bombs,
"We are really rolling," Chair
man David E. Lilienthal said.
Production is at an all-time
high, the commission reported,
program to push it ever higher Is
well under way.
By Jan. 1 the program had hit
a pace which, the commission pre
dicted will maintain an in
crease" the long atomic lead this
country has over the rest of the
world.
Powerful Bombs Made
In a muscle-flexing semi annual
report to congress, the commis
sion said it is geared for war if
war should come with new
atomic bombs more powerful than
any ever made before.
It is in a state of "maximum
readiness," it added, to supply the
armed forces with its new-model
weapon whenever President Tru
man gives the word.
iYcpared for Attack
It also is prepared to meet ene
my attack or sabotage, the com
mission said, with a powerful de
fense army of its own equipped
with tanks, planes and guns. This
guard force is commanded by
Hear Adm. John E. Gingrich, the
commission's security officer.
Meanwhile, a newly-created
atomic intelligence office is keep
ing tabes on Russia and other
countries, and the commission is
working out a mobilization day-
plan to assure the project an un
interrupted flow of men and ma
terials for which other agencies
might compete in wartime.
Peace Viewed
.. The commission's sights are not
all on the military side of atomic
energy, however, it said that it Is
on the verge of new peacetime
developments of such great im
portance" that they wil be detail
ed in a special report to congress
around mid-March.
This report will describe a
$120,000,000 program for work in
fiscal 1950 on atomic reactors
which, the commission said, "we
hope one day will light our homes,
power our industry, and possibly
drive ships and airplanes."
The commission in today's re
port said it had whipped a'multi
tude of staff, plant and technical
difficulties inherited when it took
over atomic energy from the
army two years ago.

Korean Rebel
Revolt Brings
Severe Fight
Seoul. Korea, Jan. 31 dl'-- Some
400 soldiers of the north Korean
people's army have Invaded south
Korea territory and severe fight
ing is going on around Chungdan
village, 05 miles east of Seoul, an
official of the national emergency
diet In American-occupied south
ern Korea reported today.
The official, Choi Chi Whan,
operations chief of the national
emergency diet, also said that a
revolt had broken out in one divi
sion of the south Korean army.
Choi said 60 soldiers stationed
in Pohang, 160 miles southeast of
Seoul, had killed one officer and
six soldiers who refused to parti
cipate in the revolt.
He said the fighting underway
around Chungdan, two and one
half miles south of the 38th paral
lel, and 65 miles east of the cap
ital of the southern republic, was
severe. The 38th parallel is the di
viding line between north and
south Korea.
Only last month Russia un
announced that it had withdrawn
all its occupation troops from
north of the 38th parallel, terri
tory it had occupied while Ameri
can occupation forces controlled
the region to the south.
The official reported the rebel
soldiers marched to the eastern
part of Kuryunto. where they
were being attacked by 210 police
and soldiers of the national army.
The rebels used American rifles
and ammunition, Choi said.
Chinese Reject
Soviet Demands
Nanking, Jan. 31 ill A govern
ment spokesman announced to
day that the nationalists have re
jected a communist demand for
the detention of Kuomintang
"war criminals" named by the
communists In a list beaded by
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.
The communists broadcast
word Saturday that the national
ists would have to arrest the "war
criminals" as one of the condi
tions which must be fulfilled be
fore peace talks could begin. They
said many Kuomintang leaders
had tried to escape, and noted
that Chiang had fled Nanking.
The government is willing to
accept as a basis for peace nego
tiations the eight-point set of con
ditions broadcast Jan. 15 by Mao
Tzetung, the No. 2 Chinese com
munist, the official spokesman re
ported. But the spokesman Insisted
that the nationalist government
headed by acting President Li
Tsung-jen did not expect to agree
to any communist terms before
the opening of peace talks.
Such an attitude would forestall
any actual negotiations if the
communists stood fast on their in
sistence last week that the nation
alists would have to meet in ad
vance a number of conditions in
cluding the arrest of the "war
criminals."
One of the communist demands
was for the extradition and re
trial of Japanese Gen. Yasutsuge
Okamura, who was acquitted of
war crimes charges. Today the
government spokesman said thai
was a judicial Issue, and should
not be allowed to prejudice peace
negotiations.

In anticipation of heavy runoff in the 1949 season and in preparation for the state of emergency
rehabilitation work, water is being released from the Ochoco dam these frosty days. In this pic
ture, water is shown tumbling back Into Ochoco creek from the main canal spillway, just below the
big dam that is to be rehabilitated this year. It is planned to keep the reservoir level as low as possible
in 1949.
Ochoco Dam Near Prineville
To Be Rehabilitated in Spring
30-Year-Old Dam Has $350,000 Appropriation;
Call for Bids to Be Made in February or March
Engineering; decisions on the rehabilitation of the Ochoco
dam, near Prineville, have boon made, and the lirepanit ion of
specifications are now under way, according to information
obtained by Senator Guy Cordon from Michael V. Straus,
U. S. commissioner of reclamation.
Work on the dam will be started this spring, under a $:ifi0,
000 appropriation. Included in the reclamation budget pro
posed by President Truman is an item of $1,160,000, which,
if approved, will make possible the complete rehabilitation
of the 80-year-old .state-built
dam on Ochoco creek, six
miles upstream from rapidly
growing Prineville.
A call for bids on the Ocho
co work will be made in the
latter part of February, or
early in March.
... "-We have streamlined our
procedure for the Ochoco Job, 'so
that a contract can be awarded
within a few days after the bid
opening, provided an acceptable
offer is received from one or
more contractors," Straus inform
ed Senator Cordon. A tentative
draft of the repayment contract
for the- Ochoco work was approv
ed by the board of directors of the
Ochoco Irrigation district on De
cember 29. It is now being review
ed by , the commissioner and the
secretary of interior for suffi
ciency as to form. An election on
approval of the contract by dis
trict settlers will be held in the
near future.
Prompt Beginning Assured
"As will be evident, we are do
ing everything we can to assure
prompt beginning of construction
work on the Ochoco dam as soon
as weather and reservoir level
permits," Straus said.
Level of the Ochoco reservoir
will be kept as low as possible
during the coming season, and in
preparation for an expected
heavy runoff, water Is now being
released lrom the basin. In order
to open the headgates, it was nec
essary to cut through some 18
inches of ice. The water flows
from the outlet through the main
canal, and a short distance down
stream is released into the Ochoco
creek channel.
Specifications Being Drawn
It was reported from the Des
chutes project office in Bond this
morning that specifications for
the rehabilitation job are being
drawn up in the Denver office of
the United States bureau of recla
mation. It is planned to handle
the work under one contract, wifh
continuation of work contingent
on anproval by congress of the
$1,150,000 appropriation, asked by
Presldc-.it Truman.
Primary purpose of the emer
gency work will lie to make I he
dam safe. Although final plans
for the job are not yet completed,
it is known that the major phase
of thr rehabilitation project will
be the construction ol a huge rock
fill on the downstream side. Wotk
is also planned on the upstream
face, especially near the side
walls.
Iteixir Proposed
It is also piopwd to repair
the spillway, a concrete structure
ill a cut oii the west wall of the
dam. Concrete in this structure
has rapidly deteriorated in n-ci-nt
years. The outlet structure will
also be rahal, dilated.
Work to hr undertaken on the
lam in the current season will not
interfere with storage, hut ar
rangi ments an being made to
drain the reservoir as much as
possible in 1949. This will be nec
essary to x-rrnit of work on the
outlet, where, according to plans,
a steel pipe will bo Insoi trd in the

have resulted in changes of tenta
tive angling regulations proposed
for the 1949 season, it was learn
ed here today. Tin? protests were
presented at the meeting of the
state game comml.sslon In Port
laud Saturday afternoon.
As a result of the protests, the
section of the Deschutes river
from Little Lava lake to Des
chutes bridge will be closed to an
gling. The section from Crane
prairie dam upstream to the Des
chutes bridge will be open from
June 15 to September IS. The bag
limit in this section of the river,
to be opened this year after many
seasons of closure, will be
five fish per day. The section
from Cow camp to Deschutes
bridge will be restricted to flv
fishing, and it will be illegal to
fish from boats.
Of considerable Interest locally
was elimination Horn the tenta
tive regulations of the proposed
regulation restricting the use of
salmon eggs as bait In Oregon

will aflect only Diamond lake. A j
proposed measure to restrict an
gling to artificial lures on Diam

Stalin Offers
No-War Pact
Parley to US
Officials Cool Toward
Proposal; Hope Held
For Positive Red Action
Washington, Jan. 31 Ul'i-Pre.
mier Josef Stalin's offer to con
sider a no-war pact with the
United States found no takers
here today among Truman admin
istration officials.
Nearly all the Americans who
have dealt with Moscow have
burned their fingers at one time
or anot Iter on Russian deals that
looked good until they were read
backwards as well as forward.
Washington Hopeful
But Washington still hopefully
if not optimistically awaits some
positive soviet union action in
stead of words toward world
peace.
President Truman scheduled his
regular Monday conference with
Secretary of state Dean G. Ache
son. If' It is not cancelled, the
pair are expected to have some
thing to 6ay to each other about
Stalin's latest statements, but it
won't be "Yes."
Objectives Judged
Stalin's objectives were all
judged to be good as stated, ex
cept that on the experience of the
second they added up to an offer
to settle only If the settlements
were on Russian terms.
It appeared that StaJin eagerly
had accepted a platform upon
which to play some cold war dip
lomatic changes. Communists
here anil abroad are expected
to make considerable propaganda
capital out of the latest Kremlin
statements. The Incident will be
twisted to support Moscow's basic
claim. that the United States wants
a war and seeks to provoke one
in order to dominate the world.
No Comment Made
Neither the White House nor
stale department would comment
on Stalin's statement made in re
sponse to questions submitted to
him' by a correspondent of the
International News service, other
in. in in aiy no sum iuniiiiuiiii.u
Hon had been received here.
One official did significantly
suggest that some .positive Rus
sian action toward peace would
speak louder than Stalin's words.
The cold reception here to the
latest development In Moscow's
cold war against Hie democracies
was based largely on bitter ex
perience the United States and
other countries have had with
Russian treaties and promises.
Kour questions submited to Sta
lin were answered yesterday in a
Radio Moscow broadcast. Veteran
interview getters hereabouts ob
served that the questions were
phrased more to Invite a reply
than to challenge the soviet pre
mier on the issues in dispute.
