PAGE EIGHT THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON American Bases In Japan Goal Of U. S. Leaders Tokyo, Feb. 6 UIi A reliable source said today that the U. S. Joint chiefs of staff believe that the United States should keep military bases in Japan after the peace treaty is signed. The joint chiefs wound up their six-day inspection tour of Japan today and departed by air for Oki nawa, next step on their tour of tne tar east. One of the Joint chiefs, this source said, pointed out that America did not need Japan's fac tories and that the only American interest was to see that the com munists did not get them. Russia now has the valuable raw materials of China. Manchu ria and some other Asiatic main land areas at her command. The joint chiefs were. reported to feel tnat Moscow desires Japanese in dustrial plants to round out soviet economic development In the far ast. Altitude Uncertain One of the major points to take into consideration in deciding wnetner to maintain bases in Ja pan is the attitude of the Japa nese people, it was reported. If the -Japanese are too violent ly opposed the U. S. will not main tain bases. Other factors would be the wil lingness of the U. S. to defend Japan and supply the country In case of war. i ' Led by Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs, the army, navy and air force heads took off at 8 a.m. for Okinawa in '. their special Constellation. 1 During their visit here they con ferred with Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur and his chief army, navy and air force subordinates on every aspect of .the American po sition in the far east. Bradley, in a number of press conferences, said the group did not come to Japan to make deci sions but to "supplement infor mation we already had." MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6,1950 Columbia River Program Assailed Seattle, Feb. 6 UF The army engineers-bureau of reclamation coordinated plan for developing the Columbia basin was attacked as an "illegitimate Columbia val ley authority" by the leaders of three Washington state farm and labor organizations. The charges were marie in a let ter to President Truman, who ap proved a modified version of the plan Friday. It was signed by E. M. Weston, president of the state federation of labor; Henry P. Carstensen, master of the state . grange, and Roy W. Atkinson, regional director of the C.I.O. "We do not believe that this joint plan, however modified, Is anything more than a start in the right direction," the officials said. "We are not going to take any sustitute for the C.V.A." The three men charged that the reclarnation-englnecrs plan did not contain provisions for an in tegrated flood control system, forest and soil management or fish propagation. The farm-labor leaders, who are also officers in the league for the C.V.A., accused the bureau of reclamation of sending its person nel to the northwest to lobby against development of the basin. They also charge that army engineers have circulated anti CVA literature. Only about 214 per cent of the live weight of a hog goes into inedible by-products. CV -p.

Greenwood Phone 1243 Spark Plugs Thousands of 'Em Become Major Business Warner Robins, Ga. 'UiA few spark plugs are all right In their place, but 13.000 spark plugs, every day, is too many. If you are ever in this ;arV of the country, ask W. G. Gllligan. Ask him how many words can be made out of the letters in "spark plug." Ask him how heavy they are, how they feel, and what he thinks of them. men run. That Is, you should run if you don't want to get tapped on the head with a spark plug. There are 13,000 within his reach. It started when Gllligan and a few others decided they would re process old spark plugs. "Not so hard then," says W. G. 'Only had 3,000 a day.1 ' But then the air force decided to give him a little more business. In November the Warner Robins air material area here was desig nated as the spark plug overhaul point for the entire air force east of the. Mississippi. . "Ho hum," said W. G. as 10,000 additional spark plugs began to roll in daily. He increased his staff to 90 workers, conferred with military authorities and even invented ma chines to help fix his 13,000 spark plugs. There is, for instance, a ma chine for gaping all four elec trodes of an aircraft machine at once. That is good. A hand "gaper" can only do 800 gap jobs a day. The machine does 2,000. He has a labeling and dipping machine, which inserts the plug Into a container, labels it and then dips- it in wax to make the en closure airtight. He has invented an automatic painting machine which can coat 7,200 plugs a day. "The inventions are wonderful," Gllligan said, "but every morning when Vie come to work we still know there will be 18,000 more." 1 fcMiM3P8 gQWQBBQgrgg A (i I LINE UP Vyv with Nbear 1 MEY YOUR NEW BRENTWOOD COTTONS ARE HERE! j ' -0n yur mark ,-it'8 Ae bisest cUection .1 AJ of dresses for the money you've seen!
