Keeps Secret
Jefferson Club
Votes to Secede
Ffom . Federation .
" The 'Jeff ersori 'County Rod and
Gun club has voted to secede
from the Oregon Wildlife federa
tion and will ask other affiliates
in the Deschutes River council to
take similar action, it was learned
here today. In voting to secede
front the state federation, the
Madras clubmen charged that the
federation is opposing plans for
construction on the Deschutes
river of a dam, at the Pelton site.
Action by the Madras club ask
ing 10 other clubs affiliated with
the Deschutes council to secede
from the state organization is ex
pected to be taken at tonight's
meeting of the council, in Maupin,
according to information from
Nestor Seaman, Madras, secre
tary of the Jefferson group.
Said Not Detrimental
In seceding from the state
group, the Jefferson club offi
cial declared that members of
that body are well acquainted
with conditions on the Deschutes
and maintain that the dam will
not be detrimental to the com
mercial salmon industry. The
Madras sportsmen have also cited
the need for more power in the
mid-state area, and say that con
struction of a dam on the Des
chutes will double the assessed
valuation of the region.
A check of sportsmen in Bend
today indicated that they will not
join the Madras club in seceding
from the stale federation.
Duncan L. McKay, Dr. W. G,
Winslow, Norman Venable and
Loyde Blakley plan to attend the
meeting in Maupin today, repre
senting the Deschutes Sports
men's association and the Bend
chapter of the Izaak Walton
league.

Bids Rejected
For Quonset
Type Building
The only two bids submitted on
the proposed Kingston quonset
type school building were reject
ed as loo high . yesterday, and
members of the Bend district 1
school board decided to call for
drafting of plans for a conven
tional style building.
A low bid amounting to $73,
804.32 on the proposed four class
room unit was submitted by Fred
N. Van Matre,' Bend general con
tractor, and a high proposal of
$76,484.32 was made by the con
tracting firm of C. H. Sparks and
Frank C. Turner, of Eugene.
The sum of $7,221.32 was a re
quired expenditure present in
each bid for steel to be used in
the construction of the unit.
Added Items
Additional Items outside the
basic bid requirements, including
storage cabinets, sinks, drinking
fountains, and radiant heat pan
els, were bid on in the sum of
$6,649 by Van Matre and $5,689.83
by the Eugene contractors' firm.
Forty cents a square foot on
sidewalk construction, also an ad
ded item, was submitted by Van
Matre and 45 cents was the pro
posal of the other contractors.
The engineers estimate on the
cost of the proposed unit, exclud
ing added items, amounted to
$55,000, or an approximate $19,
000 less than the lowest bid.
Members of the board agreed
that the only justification for
utilizing the quonset type units
was because it was thought to be
cheaper to build than the con
ventional type building. However,
comparative figures showed that
the proposed unit cost would run
roughly in excess of $12 a square
foot, approximately $2 a square
-foot more, than the. cpstpfbuUd.-.
ing me iew neia scnooi.
Board members decided, there
fore, to investigate the cost of
constructing a conventional type
four class room unit in place of
the quonset type project. The
board authorized James W. Bu
shong, . superintendent of the
Bend schools, to discuss plans for
the conventional type building
with a representative of the
Stokes-Allyn architectural firm of
Portland.
Engineers Present
Representatives of the Portland
engineering firm which estimated
the cost of the proposed building
at not in excess of $55,000 were
present at the opening of bids
and requested members of the
board to call for new bids on the
quonset type unit. The engineers
were at a loss to explain why
there was such a great difference
between their estimate on the
four room unit and the amounts
of the two bids. They suggest
ed that modifications of the con
struction of the proposed unit
could be made and the cost low
ered somewhat.
Board members agreed, how
ever, that the only feasible thing
to do, since the quonset style
unit cost was so high, would be
to plan for the construction of a
conventional type building. , .
Services Discontinued
As a final action board mem
bers voted no longer to retain the
services of the engineering firm
which made the estimate on the
proposed unit. The engineers who
attended the board meeting yes
terday were Adrianne W. Vaaler,
H. Glazier, and Robert Cole, all of
Portland.
The Stokes-Allyn firm, with
which plans for the proposed con
ventional type building will be
discussed, drafted the plans for
the. New Reld, Yew Lane, and
Marshall schools.

REHEARSAL SET

at 7:30 p.m. in the high school
band room, to prepare for the
Elks' Flag day ceremony Sunday,
Don P. Pence, director, has an
nounced.
Safe, Sane Fourth of July
Objective of
Bend officers will make every
effort over the July 4th holidays
to enforce the ordinance that pro
hibits the sale or discharge of fire
works within the city, but com
plete enforcement largely will de
pend on public cooperation, H. A.
Casiday, police chief, announced
today. Growing rese n t m e n t
against the use of firecrackers
in the city following last year's
flareup should result in better co
operation this year, the chief
rjoted.
In an appearance before a serv
ice club this week, Chief Casiday
pointed to the difficulty of obtain
ing evidence against an offender
unless adults are willing to pro
vide information when an officer
arrives. Officers must first learn
who the offenders are but, the
chief points out. It will be their
parents who will be summoned
Into court, when minors are in
volved. Ordinance Cited
City officers point out that the
ordinance banning the sale of fire
works In the city and prohibiting
their discharge dates back to 1932.
The ordinance provides for a min
imum fine of $5 and a maximum
of $25. All types of fireworks, In
cluding even "sparklers," are
barred under the ordinance.
For the past several years Bend
youngsters and grownups have
purchased fireworks from stands
set up at entrances to the city,
weeks before the Fourth of July.
This year a state law passed by
the legislature with an emergency
Russia Offers
Plan for Joint
Evacuation
By R. H. Shackford
(United Pi'iwh Staff CurreHiomltnt)
Paris, June 10 IIP Russia pro
posed today the early conclusion
of a peace treaty with Germany
and the complete evacuation of
occupation forces within one year
of the signing.
Foreign minister Andrei Vi
shlnsky submitted to the council
of foreign ministers his long
awaited proposal on Germany.
His three-point document said:
"The U. S. S. R. delegation pro
poses that the following decisions
be adopted:
"1. The governments of the U.
S., Britain, France and the U. S,
S. R. will submit the council of
foreign ministers draft peace
treaties for Germany within three
months.
Year to Get Out
'2. The draft peace treaty with
Germany will provide that occu
pation forces of all the powers
will be withdrawn from Ger
many one year after conclusion
of the peace treaty.
"3. Consideration of the pro
cedure for preparation of the
peace treaty will be completed at
the present conference of the
council of foreign ministers."
Vishinsky presented the sur
prise proposal early In today's
session of the big four conference
on Germany. He then followed an
unusual procedure in making it
public.
Instead of waiting until the end
of the meeting and the regular
press briefings, he sent his press
officer into the courtyard of the
rose marble palace, where the
conference Is being held, to re
lease it to newsmen.
Vishlnsky's press officer, Vladi
mir Pavlov,- told reporters -tha
the three1 western powers were
"extremely reluctant over the
soviet proposal.
Acheson Irritated
"They found all sorts of ex
cuses not to take it up, saying
questions not yet settled should
be settled before talking about a
peace treaty," he said.
Pavlov described Secretary of
state Dean Acheson as "irritated"
and quoted him as saying the sov
iet proposal would lead to endless
and futile discussion. Acheson
was said, to have proposed refer
ring the soviet proposal to the
deputies. Vishinsky said no, his
press officer reported.
The soviet statement followed
a luncheon speech by Acheson in
which he praised the unity of the
western powers at this confer
ence. Acheson admitted that the
meeting had been a failure in
achieving agreement between the
west and Russia. He spoke at an
informul luncheon given for him
by the American-French cultural
group "France-Etats Unis."
Acheson spoke just before the
17th meeting of the council, with
little prospect of anything more
than very minor agreements.
Bend Police
clause prohibits the sale of fire
works In Oregon up lo week be
fore July 4 and two days after
that date.
Parents of Bend youngsters
cited on charges of using fire
works within the city limits will
go before Alva C. Goodrich, mu
nicipal Judge. Goodrich said he
would handle each case on its
merits, with fines meted In ac
cordance with provisions of the
city ordinance.
Fire Chief Gives Warning
On the eve of the firecracker
season, LeRoy Fox, fire chief, has
issued a warning that Bend faces
a grave fire situation, as a result
of the long dry spell. So far this
year, Bend has received only 3.33
inches of moisture, an all-time low
for a similar period. Cooperation
of the public in observing the
anti-Fireworks ordinance this
year is vital unless people of
Bend desire to Invite disaster, the
chief said.
Fox also reminded Bend resi
dents that Bend has suffered some
of its worst fires in history over
the Fourth of July holidays. One
of these occurred only last year,
when flames swept through Ed
die's garage, menacing the near
by Pilot Butte inn. .
Provided the public extends its
cooperation, Bend police can make
a real showing In checking the
discharge of fireworks in the city
this year, primarily as a result of
the Installation of new police ra
dio equipment and two-way com
munication with officers.
Top Scouter
w
James K. Bock I us, Bend, has
been appointed to the position
of Boy Scout field commissioner
for the Fremont district. He
has been in Scout work for
many years, successively as an
assistant scoutmaster, scout
master, and as a scout commis
sioner in Pasco, Wash. He be
came an Eagle scout in 1919.
Blue Laws Bite
In Arkansas
Pine Bluff, Ark., June 10 IP
If this thing keeps up, citizens
said today, this town of 45,000
may be deserted Sunday. Every
body will be in jail.
Baseball players, spectators,
bus drivers, church organists and
choir singers, little boys playing
marbles maybe even any two
people who get together to talk
things over art apt to be law
violators here come Sunday.
And all because the Pine Bluff
retail grocers association forced
two bakers to close under a 1904
city ordinance which prohibits
the operation of retail concerns
on-Sunday. , ; " ' -')
That made the bakery opera
tors mad. They set two lawyers
to work digging up other ancient
"blue laws."
Plenly of Precedent
What those lawyers found was
a caution. Especially an 1872 law
which prohibits the gatherings
of two or more persons on Sun
day for the purposes of entertain
ment. As attorneys Robert Zebold
and Hendrix Rowell see it, they
could catch almost anybody In
town under that one. It- might
even apply to a husband and wife
Just sitting at home and talking
if you call conversation enter
tainment. The attorneys, hired by the dis
gruntled bakery operators, admit
ted that they have started a
snowballing campaign to make
the blue laws so unpopular that
the city council will repeal them.
The city fathers prepared to
meet the threat.
Mayor George Steed called a
special session of the city council
this afternoon to consider repeal
of the 77-year-old blue law under

Big 1949 Wheat
Crop Forecast
Washington, June 10 lh The
agriculture department today
forecast a 1949 wheat crop of 1,
336,976,000 bushels.
That would be the second larg
est harvest In history and would
boost the nation's total wheat
slocks to record high levels this
summer.
. The production forecast was
about 25,000,000 bushels greater
than the rough crop estimate
made by the department last
month.
On the basis of today's fore
cast it is virtually certain that
acreage allotments will be Im
posed on the 1950 crop, officials
said. Furthermore, supply
demand formulas prescribed un
der farm law may require that
marketing quotas, an even more
restrictive device, be proclaimed
on next year's crop.
The department forecast the
winter wheat crop at 1,036,741,000
bushels, an Increase of 16,000,000
bushels over last month's fore
cast. Harvesting of winter wheat
already is under way In the
southwest.
