Ho wild he was at home about 8:20 (PST) when he heard a whistling sound similar to thai made by a Jet plane.

New Education Bill Projected Washington, July 27 mi A re publican bill based on recommen dation by former president Her bert Hoover today threatened to complicate the already bitter scrap over federal aid to-cduca-tion. Hep. Thurston Ballard Morton, R., Ky., planned to hove the meas ure ready for Introduction by noon. He refused to slute wheth er It has the blessings of the house GOP leadership. "I know that it Is not possible to get any kind of federal aid bill before the house ut this session," Morton said. "But I am going to put this measure in und let the educators mull it over until next year." Morton said hp believes the re ligious dispute kicked up over the Issue of aid to parochial schools hus killed any chance for a bill this year. He said his measure will seek to avoid the controversy by permitting the Individual stutes to decide how they will use the money. An education bill, already approved by the senate, also would put the question up to the states. The Hoover 'recommendations, made public In a letter on June 27, said that federal funds to aid education should go onlv to "needy" states. The $300,000,000 bill pending before the house la bor committee would provide a minimum of $5 per pupil for each state regardless of need. Hoover called the $5 provision a "pork-barrel appendage."

July 27IHA par liamentary row in the -senate sent the $5,573,724,000 foreign aid appropriation bill back to the appropriations committee today after four days of debate on the measure. Sen. John L. McClellan, D, Ark., forced the bill back to com mittee after the administration hud resorted successfully to par liamentary weapons lo block Mc Clellsn's amendment to earmark some European recovery funds for surplus farm products. After more than three hours of pulling and hauling, climaxed by a senate vote to overrule a decision of Vice-president A loon W. Burkley. McClellan challenged the entire bill on grounds that it contained a series of provi sions inconsistent with senate rules. Barkley then upheld MeClel lan's claim and ruled that the bill was automatically recommitted to the committee.- The senate then immediately turned to its $7,000,000,000 ap propriation bill for independent offices. The- parliamentary tangle over foreign aid developed after the senate, without a fight, had ac cepted a cut of $509,820,000 in the administration request for ECA funds for the 1950 fiscal year.

It was erroneously reported yesterday that Mrs. Del Mattson and Mrs. John Franks would be In charge of the program. On Its Stem" mm im", Mtiirim i tia"ff inmiawwqpn.J administration view that this snuuiu snare 1LS aiorpic Domo it has full legal authority under to bring its wartime atomic partners up to date up to date on im provements in A-bomb design and production made since the war's end. cut it wants to convince congress of the wisdom of its plans in order to forestall leg islative action which the admin istration argues might destroy the original three-nation atomic partnership and jeopardize this country's bomb output- for want or raw materials. Acheson sad Johnson went be fore the house-senate atomic en ergy committee at 2:30 p.m. EDT. Act May Be Bar Several members, particularly William F. Knowland, R., Cat. Bourke B. Hickenlooperl R., Ia., and William E. Tydings, D., Md., argue that the atomic act forbids exchange ot information about weapons. The atomic energy commission and the administration argue that it does nothing of the sort. They agree that the act flatly prohibits export of atomic explosives or bombs. They say that this prohi bition is not at Issue in the dis cussions which started July 14 at the Blair house conference called by President Truman at the re quest of Acheson. Those who contend that export of information is banned point to section 10-A-l of the act. This says that until congress rules that effective International atom ic safeguards have been estab lished, "there shall be no ex change of information with other nations with respect to the use of atomic energy for industrial pur poses. Restriction Automatic They argue that atomic energy used for Industrial purposes is the same kind of atomic energy that is used in bombs and that therefore a restriction oh one is automatically a restriction on the other. The administration, however, points to section 10-A, the para graph preceding 10-A-l. This says the atomic energy commission shall "control the dissemination of restricted data In such a man ner as to assure the common de fense and security." The controversy, therefore, hinges on a question of law and a question of fact. Would ex change of weapons Information with the British, who already know how to make old model bombs, help to "assure the com mon defense and security?" The administration answer is definitely yes. But Tydings and the others say no. What brought the Issue up at this time is the fact that a U. S.-Britlsh-Canadlan working agree ment entered into on Jan. 1, 1948, will , expire In another five months. This agreement actually an derstanding rather than a formal compact was produced by a combined policy committee. Showdown Due on Lewis Mine Edict White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., July 27 de Soft coal operators promised a decision today on pro posal that they take drastic ac tion to end John L. Lewis' three day work week in the coal mines. The producers ore considering suggestions that they make a new formal demand upon the United Mine Workers chief either to end the short week or face the pros pect of an operator-inspired sus pension of all mining. Such action on the part of the producer, observers believe, would prompt the UMW presi dent to call a strike of his 400,000 soft coal miners. The counter plan was put for ward by northern commercial in terests and by the steel compa nies which own the so-called cap tive mines. Harry M. Moses, president of H. C. Frick Coke Co. and chief negotiator for United States Steel Corp., told reporters that the op erators "are discussing what can be done to bring this situation to a head." "Mexsy Situation" "The three-day week is a messy situation from the standpoint of safety, costs and every progres sive mining technique," he said. Lewis ordered his mine work ers to labor only three days a week when his contract with the operators expired on June 30. The operators had previously reject ed his demands that they them selves Impose short-week opera tions. Lewis' action is now being in vestigated by the senate banking committee. The United Mine Workers and the operators resumed negotia tions on a new contract here yes terday for the first time since June 30. During the 2l hour ses sion. the sion, the operators pleaded in vain with the union to resume full-scale operations. Lewis did not attend yester day's bargaining session. Men to Face Trial in Oregon Red Bluff, Calif.. July 27 UF Two men held here on" a con cealed weapons charge after be ing accused of kidnaping by two minor girls from Bend., Ore., were leturned to Salem,' Ore., to day to face burglary and armed robbery charges. . The men, J; B. Rich, 20, Klam- ath Falls, Ore, and Norman Betts, 2K Bakersf ield. Calif., were taken to Oregon In custody of Sheriff Denver Young of Salem. Sheriff James Froome of Red Bluff said there was insufficient evidence to place kidnaping charges against them here. Stories told by the girls indi cated they may have accompanied the men willingly and one of them admitted she helped repaint a stolen car the men were using, Froome said. They had first claimed they were forced to ac company the pair from Bend and escaped later when the men were sleeping. Froome said the girls were re turned to Bend last night. No charges were placed against them. There Is already an armed rob bery warrant from Salem out for tne men ana it is expeciea an other will be Issued in Eugene. Froome said.

All Central Oregon Areas Asked to Participate; May Request Survey of District A proposal that all central Oregon communities band to gether in an effort to promote the full development and usage of water in the Deschutes river and its tributaries was pre sented by Floyd West, of Bend, to members of the Central Oregon chamber of commerce at a meeting held last night in Bend. Members agreed to discuss chambers and seek appointment of delegates to a central Oregon chamber committee," which would have the respon sibility of such a program. West urged that all central Oregon communities and groups interested in water, for any reason, lend their as sistance in pursuing the water development program. He de clared that all water problems, whether they be a matter of power for industry, water for ir rigation of farms, or water for domestic use, are inter-related. Report Used Suggested methods for institut ing the program were made last night by West on the basis of a report submitted this past year by Robert H. Foley, Bend attor ney, to the Bend chamber irriga tion committee. According to Foley's report. J. W. Taylor. Deschutes project en gineer, suggested as a first step, that representatives of central Oregon communities obtain a sur vey by the U. S. bureau ot recla mation of the whole of Deschutes river and its tributaries, keeping In mind that piecemeal surveys already have been conducted along the river. A. R. Bowman. Crook county judge, said that heicould not sup port the proposed 'program U It were to interiere witn tne present development of the Crooked river basin. West assured him that existing development projects would be In no way curtailed by the proposed program. He added that the pro gram's goal is the full develop ment and use of water in central Oregon, which, if accomplished. would be of benefit to all in the area. Favored by Allen C. L. Allen. Deschutes county judge, urged the group to sup port the major survey program. He said that new lands must be reclaimed in the area, and there Is a great demand and need for more water for the existing irri gated lands. . The judge stressed, too, the need for an equitable distribution of any water which might be made available through the pro posed program. Again emphasizing the need for full development and usage of water in the area, Allen declared: "The future of central Oregon Is dependent upon the water." Dr. H. W. Steelhammer, of Powell Butte, reported that his community desired to be included in the proposed program. He said that Powell Butte farmers had recently formed an association to promote the reclaiming of some of the dry lands In the area. Building Sought A second action of the group was to approve a proposal by Les Houk, of Redmond, to provide a suitable building for Malcomb Johnson, farm products experi menter, in which he could conduct his experiment work in the cen tral Oregon counties. The building is located at the Redmond airbase and will require remodeling at an approximate cost of $1000.

Ingram Stainback to seize Hawaii's docks and stevedoring industries would be ready within one week. V Gov. Stainback called the legisr ' lature into special session yestjv day and requested seizure po to end tl: economic paralX--caused by an 88-day-old strike ot the CIO International Longshore men and Warehousemen's union. Twenty - two labor bills, five dealing with government seizure of the wharves, were introduced immediately after the governors opening address yesterday. Sen. William Heen of Oahu predicted that legislation giving the government power to operate the island's docks and stevedor ing activities would be on Stain back's desk within one week. . r .Priority Planned : . 'Senate president Wilfred Tsukiyama said Attorney general Walter Ackerman would specify which bills should receive prior ity when he addresses the Joint session tomorrow. It was understood the law makers will concentrate on ap proving one or two major bills before considering others among the 22 bills submitted. Among the measures intro duced were bills empowering the government to seize the docks, stevedoring activities, public util ities and the huge sugar and pine apple industries in event of a strike. - Tsukiyama said there was growing opposition to seizure ot the sugar and pineapple -Industries. There was some doubt con cerning their passage, he said. "We won't schedule public hear- ings on the labor measures be cause we are here by public de mand," he said. "We know what the public wants." Jack Hall, regional director of the ILWU, said seizure of the docks would not necessarily end the walkout. Only legislation pat terned after the Knowland bill . in congress or compulsory arbi tration would be acceptable to the union, he said. ' Hoffman Site Study Assured Prineville, July 27 Dr. H. w. Steelhammer, president of the newest central Oregon organiza tion created to promote develop- . ment of 10,000 watered acres on higher land back of Powell Butte, learned yesterday In a telephone conversation with H. T. Nelson, regional director of the U. S. bu reau of reclamation that mem bers of the bureau staff plan on spending 30 days in a study of the proposed Hoffman site on Crooked river In accord with a re quest from the Powell Butte group. The new west Crook county organization, which calls itself the Powell Butte Hlghline Irriga tion association, has sought the additional study of the Hoffman damsite on Crooked river. It was cited in a letter to Nelson that a reservoir of sufficient capacity to store the entire run-off of the wa tershed on peak years could be established. The organization, which pro posed the Hoffman site as a sub stitute for a high dam at the Post site, which is some 30 miles farth er up the Crooked river, asked that the Boise regional office make Its study of the new site in ' order to ascertain feasibility of pumping water from the reser voir to a main canal that would begin to serve land of the area almost directly and would be only five miles In length. The regional staff has expressed doubt as to the economy of the pumping plan because of high maintenance cost.
