Hiss Receives
Prison Term
Of Five Years
New York, Jan. 25 UP) Alger
L,,-3liss, the bright young state de-
Roosevelt at Yalta, was sentenced
to live years in prison today for
lying to a grand Jury about his
help to S communist spy ring.
The 45-year-old secretary-general
of the United Nations charter
meeting in San Francisco, pro
tested his Innocence to the last
moment Then he stood unflinch
ing as Judge Henry W. Goddard
ordered him to prison as a "warn
ing to all that a crime of this
character cannot be committed
with impunity."
Judge Goddard sentenced Hiss
to five years on each of two
counts of perjury, but ordered the
sentences to run concurrently.
Hiss was allowed to remain free
on $10,000 bond pending a ruling
on his appeal from the conviction
which was filed immediately with
the court clerk.
Just before Goddard pronounc
ed the sentence, Hiss requested
the opportunity to make "a brief
statement."
Statement Made
"I would like to thank your
honor for the opportunity to deny
the charge against me," he sadi.
"I am confident in the future the
full facts as to how Whittaker
Chambers was able to carry out
forgery by typewriter will be dis
closed." The lanky defendant then stood
facing the judge to hear the sent
ence. He did not flinch as the
judge pronounced sentence.
His attorney, Claude B. Cross,
filed appeal papers immediately.
Hiss received the maximum
jt Jive yejji-seniL'nue on chuii- u iie
Jf counts. He also could have been
r: t- r .1
U fined $2 mO nn each count.
Goddard ruled that Hiss could
remain free under $10,000 bail,
twice the amount he had been at
liberty under since his indictment.
Cross made two motions imme
diately after the court opened
one for a new trial, and the sec
ond for arrest of judgment. Both
were denied.
After hearing a statement from
Cross on behalf of Hiss, Goddard
asked the government if it had
anything to say.
Warning to Others
Assistant U. S. attorney Thorn
as F. Murphy, who prosecuted
Hiss, said that the government
"now moves for judgment.
After Hiss made his statement,
Goddard pronounced sentence.
"I think the sentence should be
a warning to all that a crime of
this character may not be com
mitted With impunity, the judge
said.
Hiss left the courtroom with his
attorney in whose custody the
judge paroled him, pending ar
rangement of bail.
A federal court jury convicted
Hiss last Saturday on both counts
of an indictment which charged
that he lied to a grand jury when
he denied that he had ever passed
any governmente secrets to
Chambers, an admitted commu
nist spy courier, and again when
he said he had not seen Chambers
after Jan. 1, 1938.
Hiss was tried first on the
charges last year but the trial re
sulted in a hung jury.
The next step in the long
drawn-out proceedings will take
place before the circuit court of
appeals which will hear Hiss' ap
peal. If the anneals court upholds
the conviction, Hiss will take the
case to the supreme court.

So7 Conservation Election
Feb. 3 Will Afford Second
Opportunity to Approve Plan
boil conservationists of Deschutes county have marked in
red two early February dates, with interest at present center
ing on the first of the two, Friday, February 3. On thut day,
land owners in the southern part of the county will vote for
the second time on the proposal that farms not at Dresent in-
eluded in the Midstate Soil Conservation district be incorpo
rated in a county-wide district. Land owners first voted on
this proposal last fall. The
move lost, not because of op
position, but because of the
failure of the required num
ber of land owners to ballot.
This time, an effort' will be
made to have every individual,
firm or corporation owning more
than 10 acres of land in the coun
ty visit one of four designated
voting places to cast ballots on
the plan for a soil conservation
district that will embrace all of
Deschutes county and small par
cels of adjacent Crook and Jeffer
son counties.
To Meet at Redmond
The second date soil conserva
tionists have marked on their cal
endar is February 6, date when
the annual meeting of the Mid
state Soil Conservation district is
held in Redmond. If the move to
incorporate all of the county in a
district carries at the February 3
election, provisions will be made
for representation of southern
Deschutes county land owners on
the board.
The Midstate Soil Conservation
district was originally approved
on May 15, 1947, in accordance
with the standard procedure for
organizing districts In Oregon. At
that time, three supervisors were
elected, and two appointed by the
state soil conservation commit
tee, to act as the governing body
of the district that at present em;
braces all of northern and north
eastern Deschutes county. Elected
supervisors were B. L. Fleck, Red
mond; John Hansen, Terrebonne,
and T. S, Hughes, ' Redmond.
George Elliott, Redmond, and Wil
liam Horsell, Alfalfa, were the
appointed supervisors.
Hughes was reelected for a
three year term at the 1949 meet
ing, and Elliott was reappointed
in 1949. In 1949, Horsell was re
elected, so that the original five
members still comprise the board.
Hansen's term expires this year
and will be filled at the annual
meeting on February 6.
Served 2 Years
Fleck served as chairman of the
board of supervisors through 1947
and 1948 and Elliott has been
chairman since the annual meet
ing last year. Jim Elings, who re
nlaced Gene Lear as county agent
when Lear left for Harvard to
take advanced work, is secretary
of the board.
The soil conservation service
has assigned a staff to the Mid-
state Soil Conservation district to
provide technical help in the prep
aration of conservation . farm
plans and on site assistance with

More Snow Due
In Northwest
Portland, Jan. 25 (IP) A new
storm moving south from the
gulf of Alaska will produce more
snow for Oregon and Washing
ton tonight along with slight re
lief from an intense cold wave,
the weather bureau reported to
day. Intermittent snow was forecast
for most of Oregon beginning to
night or early tomorrow morning.
Temperatures remained below
20 throughout most of the two
states today, after hitting as low
as 11 below zero at Spokane. The
mercury dropped to 12 degrees
at the Portla.nd airport at 6:30
a. m. today.
A slow rise In temperature
throughout the day was expected
but the fact remained that the
northwest was In the grip of an
other arctic cold wave.
Bond was the coldest recorded
point in Oregon wilh 4 beiow.
Burns reported 2 below, La
Grande 2 above, Pendleton 3
above and The Dalles 11 above.
Snow fell on the southern Ore
gon coast this morning.
Yesterday three Astoria high
school students were hospitalized
when a busload of students lost
traction on a steep, snow-covered
hill and slid backward half a
block into a retaining wall.
Dick Windsor, 16, star basket
ball guard, suffered a compound
i leg fracture. Carol Erickson. li.

Women's Chorus
May Be Formed
Here, Announced
Plans for organization of a com
munity women's chorus, under
auspices of the American Legion
auxiliary, have been announced
by Wayne Hamilton, city recrea
tion director, the first meeting
will be next Monday at 7:30 p.m.
in the balcony room at the west
end of the school gymnasium,
when a definite rehearsal night
and other details will be set.
The auxiliary organized a small
glee club within its membership
this past year. Representatives
of the group, feeling that a wom
en s chorus would fill a local need,
sought the assistance of the recre
ation department.
Invitation General
All women who like to take
part In chorus work will be wel
come to join the group, it was
stressed. Director will be Grant
Mathews, of the high school mu
sic staff, who has had a number
of years experience in directing
, choral groups. Mrs. B e r n 1 c e
Towner is the accompanist.'
"The American Legion auxil
iary is to be congratulated fov-its
worth-while contribution to the
recreation program," Hamilton
said, adding that it is hoped that
a chorus of at least 50 voices will
be built up. With the municipal
band, the Central Oregon orches
tra, the Central Oregon Oratorio
society and the Bend Gleemen, the
women's chorus will round out
the local music program, he
added.
The balcony room where the or
ganization meeting will be held
is accessible from a door at tiie
top of the south stairway leading
from the gynasium lobby.
Crescent Lake
Water Storage
Near Capacity
Crescent lake, location of Turn
alo irrigation district storage, is
within 800 acre feet of its stipu
lated capacity, 55,000 acre feet,
and yesterday the outlet was
opened to permit passage into
Crescent creek of an additional 75
second feet of water, it was learn
ed today. Yesterday evening the
level of the water was within two
inches of capacity. Under the stip
ulation between the Tumalo dis
trict and the Southern Pacific
railroad, whose line borders the
lake, up to 15 feet of water, as
measured by a gauge, can be
stored.
On the upper Deschutes, Wick
iup reservoir also is filling rapid
ly, and yesterday evening the big
basin held 165.760 acre feet. Its
capacity is slightly in excess of
180.000 acre feet, and it is now
apparent that the basin will be
filled well in advance of the start
of the 1950 Irrigation season. Up
stream, the Crane prairie reser
voir Is also filling rapidly.
Sealing Effective
Rapid storage in Wickiup basin,
with only a slight loss of Inflow
noted, has led to the belief that
sealing work this past season was
highly effective. Blocking of
faults was undertaken late In the
1949 season when it became evi
dent that new leaks had developed
that season.
Reports from the upriver coun
try indicate that water is being
stored in Wickiup reservoir at the
rate of more than 1000 acre feet
daily. Heavy precipitation, mostly
in the form of snow, has occurred
along headwaters in the present
month.
A. E. Perry, Deschutes water
master, visited the Crescent lake
area yesterday. Snow ranging
from five to eight feet covers
that area. Perry was accompa
nied by Lyman Bebce, North Ca
nal dam caretaker.
CHARTER REVOKED

Equipment
Reaches Site
For Hospital
First equipment was on the St.
Charles memorial hospital site
and several loads of lumber were'
in place today as time neared for
start of work on the $900,000
building, ground for which will be
broken Saturday. Late yesterday,
a large compressor was moved to
the site by the J. W. Wise & Son
firm of Boise, Ida., general con
tractors, and lumber was unload
ed at the edge of Lava road, adja
cent to the site.
Formally marking the start of
construction, a ground-breaking
ceremony will be held Saturday,
starting at 1 p.m. The ceremony,
on the building site, will be pre
ceded by a civic parade starting
at 12:30 p.m. The program is be
ing planned as an all central Ore
gon affair.
Cooperation Urged
In observance of the start of
work on the hospital and to make
it possible for staffs to attend the
ceremony, the retail merchants
committee of the Bend chamber
of commerce has asked Bend busi
ness firms to cooperate as fully as
possible in the program, with clos
ure of all stores for one hour,
from 1 to 2 p.m. Saturday sug
gested. It was indicated today that
most of-the stores would find it
possible to meet the request. Yes
terday's announcement that all
stores would close was based on
an executive request from the
chamber, prior to completion of a
survey by the retail merchants
committee.
It has been suggested by lead
ers of the Founders Service or
ganization that stores closing for
the hour loin in a window decora
tion plan calling attention to the
hospital program. In most cases-,
it was indicated, cards in windows
would call attention to the
ground-breaking ceremony.
Founders Group Meets
The hospital founders' group,
headed by Dr. J. M. McCarthy
held a general meeting last night
at the city hall, to complete plans
for the program and the parade
that will precede the ground
breaking. The parade will form
on Wall street, in front of the
high school, swing through town
and approach the hospital from
the Franklin street side, where
cars will be parked. Don Pritchett
will be marshal of the parade, as
signing places to' the various
units, including two bands.
A short program Is planned at
the grounds, it was Indicated, with
six speakers, to be presented in
brief talks. The principal talk will
be by Robert W. Sawyer, presi
dent of the Central Oregon Hos
pitals foundation. Dr. McCarthy
will be master of ceremonies.

One-Way Traffic
Now Designated
In Hospital Area
Lava road between Franklin
and Oregon and the approach to
the St. Charles hospital have been
designated as one-way streets, as
a lire emergency measure in con
nection with construction of the
St. Charles memorial hospital, it
was announced today. This action
was necessary, city officers said,
because of the proximity of the
fire hall to the construction area.
Yesterday it was announced
that effective today all parking
in that part of Lava road between
Franklin and Bond would be bar
red. At present, the area is ex
tensively used for all-day parking.
Under the new one-way street
designation, all motor traffic Into
the hospital grounds must move
over Minnesota, from the west.
At that point, motorists may ei
ther turn to the left or to the
right on Lava road, at the fire
hall coiner, or proceed up the
hill to the hospital.
Travel Blocked
Travel from Franklin onto
Lava road or from Oregon ave
nue to Lava road wUl be blocked.
Also, there will be no approach
to the St. Charles hospital from
the Franklin street approach to
the grounds, except in emergen
cies. Designation of one way travel
H the hospital-fire hall area and
barring of parking on the stretch
of Lava road on both sides of the
fire hall was decided on because
fire equipment, in answering
! colls, frequently swings either
west or east on Lava road.
Heavy traffic Is expected In the
hospital area during the period
1 of construction.

ago by the Redmond Flfylng ,cluM,
to a race traeK lor motor venicies.
The property was turned over to
the city some time ago and sucn
a proposal would have to be sanc
tioned by the council.
Former members of the flying
club, J. R. Roberts, P. M. Houk,
T. J. Wells and Mrs. Brown, have
indicated no objection to the idea
Mrs. Brown said. A number of
legal technicalities were brought
out, among which was an emer

be Inserted in any lease of the
property stating that the land
would revert to the city in case of
need or emergency, and that the
lessee would. have to be respon
sible for taxes, improvements,
protective insurance etc. After
discussion and consideration

Berlin Blockade
Berlin, Jan. 25 mi The Rus
sians tightened their partial block
ade of Berlin today by Imposing
slowdown restrictions on (rucks
bound for the western zones.
Restrictions placed on west
bound traffic on (he Berlin super
highway were the same as those
imposed on eastbound traffic into
Berlin last Saturday minute In
spection of documents.
The new slowdown cut truck
traffic both in and out of Berlin
by 80 per cent. Reports from
Helmstedt, soviet checkpoint on
the zonal border west of Berlin,
said three or four trucks an hour
were going through each way
compared to a normal traffic of
15 to 20.
Reports from Helmstedt this
morning said 84 trucks were wait
ing there to get into western Ger
many from Berlin and another CO
were waiting to enter Berlin from
western Germany.
Most of the trucks returning to
western Germany were empty,
but were being given the same
slow check as loaded trucks try-

I Several truck drivers said it
had taken them 20 hours to make
the run to Berlin, four or five
'times as long as a normal trip.
Train traffic over the border

(United l'rcu Stuff Correspondent)
Detroit, Jan. 25 Ul'i Eighty-nine
thousand automobile workers be
gan a nation-wide strike against
Chrysler corporation today when
around-the-clock negoti n'tlons
stalled over pensions and welfare
benefits.
The strike call for 89,000 CIO
United Auto Workers In six states
came when UAM Dresident Wal-'
ter P. ReHther stalked out of the1- i
smoke-filled bargaining room. ,Ki
Workers In motor city plants
walked out in droves. Picket lines f
formed quickly. j.
The strike choked off produc- f
Won of 6,000 cars a day by the
nation's third largest auto maker.
"The arrogant and Insufferable f
attitude of the Chrysler corpora- "
tlon has forced this strike upon
Its workers," Reutlier declared.
"The Issues are simple, clear and j;
sensible." . !i;
Picket Lines Formed
Picket lines formed with mill- ii
tnry precision. There was no
violence, but hundreds of Detroit $
police stood at company gates. J
Negotiators had met for 24 1
hours in continuous session to try 1
to avert: a strike. -v, The UA-W. de-
manded a 10-cent welfare package J
for $100 pensions and health and ,
hospitalization benefits. a
The company agreed to pay 1
pensions, but refused to pay into
a trust fund a set cents per-Hour
sum. It wanted to pay retire- ;
mont out of current assets. i
Sound trucks roared strike or
ders to pickets. Soup kitchens 3
went up quickly, and picket signs j
reading "Just 10 Cents" showed
among the shuffling workers. s
The strike started 15 minutes $
before the 10 a.m. deadline set by 3
Reuther. Workers in other states
were ordered to join fie walkout
when the deadline came In their j
time zones'. '.
State anil federal mediftlnn ef- S
forts failed. Noel Fox, Chief Michi-
can labor mediator, said "ie would ii
"let both siues cool off for two Si
or three days" before attempting
talks again. 8
"The tragic experience of the J
mine workers demonstrated the t
need for a sound pension plan,
Reuther declared. The UAW .
wanted a funded pension, simi-
lar to that won at Ford.
"Freey.3" Oppoacd
The company also proposed a
five year freeze on all contract
provisions except wages. Reu
ther bitterly criticized the pro
posal. Herman L, Weckler, Chrysler
vice-president and general man
ager, called the strike "wasteful
and unnecessary."
"The union leaderhip has chos
en to sacrifice Chrysler workers
in an effort to escape a political
dilemma of Its own making. The
union leadership wants a kitty it
can get its hands on. That is the
only plausible excuse for Its de
mand . . . that 10 cents an hour

The potatoes were released yes

by Rep. Anthony Cavalcante, D.,
Pa.
The agriculture department said
surplus eggs may be released to
the miners later, but that it had
no authority to give away other
surplus commodities held In gov
