LEASED WIRE WORLD NEWS COVERAGE CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER TH 34th Year Rodeo Qrounds Sola by Water Pageant Qroup The Bend Stampede and Water Pageant association sold its 40-acre rodeo site for $5,500 at a special meeting of the directors last night and cleared the way for the presentation of a Mirror pond fete over the Fourth of July holidays. The prospective rodeo site, just south of town and west of highway $7, was sold to W. V. (Jack) Hamby, who had sub mitted a check for $500 as earnest money with his bid. The balance will be paid on trans- : fer of the title to Hamby. The tract, obtained by the pageant association in pre-war days when development of a rodeo arena and race track were be ing considered, has a water right just south of the full acre age. The land is under the Arnold ditch. Hamby said he is not yet ready to announce his plans for the use of the grounds. Equals Indebtedness The amount being received for the land, formerly farmed, ap proximates the indebtedness of the pageant association, $5,322.22, over a two-year period. Figures presented by Carl B. Hoogner, treasurer, showed that the 1948 indebtedness amounted to $3, 003.10 and that for 1949 aggre gated $3,327.81. Offsetting this $6,330.91 total' is a bank balance of $1,008.89. . Directors pointed out that the indebtedness of the association hardly presents a true picture of the financial structure, inasmuch as capital assets, represented by the boom, arch material, seats and fete equipment, aggregate $12,850.50. Part of the indebted ness is attributed to the purchased ol a new boom last year. 16 Directors Attend Sixteen of the 21 directors were present and the vote to sell the property carried by a vote of 12 to 4. C. L. McAllister, newly elect ed president of the association, presided at the meeting, held in the office of Arthur A. Rixe. In addition to the directors, other Bend .residents interested in the Mirror pond pageant were pres ent. When the land is formally transferred to Hamby, the pro ceeds will be distributed to credit ors by a special finance commit tee, members of which are A. J. Glassow, Arthur A. Rixe and Carl B. Hoogner. Some of the credit ors, it was revealed at the meet ing, are checking off their bills as contributions to the 1950 show. 2 Vacancies Filled Two vacancies in the board of directors were filled at last night's meeting. Boyd Jossy was elected to take the place of Joseph G. Mack, who resigned following long service with the association. R. G. Proby fills the vacancy cre ated by the resignation of H. C. Kerron, also a long-time member or tne association. Both men re signed because of the press of work. With their serious financial problem solved, the directors turned their attention to the 1950 pageant, planned as a two-dav af fair with the nights of July 3 and 4 set as the tentative dates. This year Independence day falls on Tuesday. The final phase of the meeting, which lasted until after 10 p.m., was devoted to a discus sion of features of the 1950 pag eant and other entertainment. Scores of suggestions were made. Features Discussed It was revealed that there is a -possibility that an all-Oregon square dance festival can be held in connection with the 1950 show.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY Hoffman Asks More Money For Europe By .lolin I.. Steele (United l'ntiH Stuff Cori-wtiMjiiilenO Washington, Feb. 21 Foreign aid administrator Paul G. Hoff man askd congress today for a $3,100,00'),000 European recovery grant for-the 1951 fiscul year to secure the peace and save the free world from "aggressive com munism." The economic cooperation ad ministrator said he wanted $2, 950,000,000 in new money for the European program and authori ty to carry over into the 1951 fis cal year $150,000,003 appro printed this year. His new cash request was $150, 000,000 less than President Tru man proposed in his budget mes sage last month. Hoffman told a joint session of the senate foreign relations and house foreign affairs com mittees that: "This is the minimum we think we shall need, but, if we can save any of it without wrecking the re covery program, I again pledge you my word we shall do so." Battle Held Vital He told the committee it would be a "crUel waste" not to con tinue the four-year program, and that it also Would discourage the free nations which are fighting communism. "It is just as vital to win this battle for the minds and loyalties of free men as it was to win world war II," Hoffman said. "And if we want to avert world war III with the awful, threat of the H-bomb, we simply have got to win it." Summarizing the results achieved to date, Hoffman as serted that the increase in Euro pean production has been specta cular. He said that overall indus trial production now stands 20 per cent above prewar levels. "In the past two years, after the grave crop failures of 1947, total grain produetipn rose 30 per cent, sugar 40 per cent, meat 1G per cent, milkil9 per cent, and fats ahd oils 19 per cent," Hoff man said. Stability in Sight He added that the rampant European inflation o 1947-1948 has ended, prices' generally are I stabilizing, and the prospects for lajiiiiiiut-u stuuuiiy arc- ciitumdjj InK. Intra-European trade has been restored almost to prewar levels, he said, and dollar earnings also are rising. But ho acknowledged that "there is a long way to go before the European dollar gap is closed. He said that t'le only sound ways of closing this dollar gap are to reduce Europe's require ments for dollar imports and to increase Europe's dollar earnings through direct and triangular trade. "This means, of course, that we must sell less to and and buy more from Europe," Hoffman said. County's School Problems Studied .

Pittsburgh, Feb. 21 W Strik ing United Mine Workers said today that government seizure of the soft coal mines "might" end the outlaw walkout which has pushed the nation to the brink of economic disaster. New violence hit the coal fields. In Pennsylvania, a band of one thousand pickets raided a mine and set a tipple on fire. Whole sale arrests were made in West Virg'.nia, after miners and mines were attacked. The miners shrugged off the government's contempt action against the UMW, but were in terested in the statement ot a high government official that fed eral seizure was "almost inevi table" within a few days. Meanwhile, local authorities in tensified coal conservation meas ures as the .nation's stockpile dropped to less than six days supply. A cold wave battered the east aggravating the fuel emer gency. Favored Rank-and-file miners tended to favor government seizure of the mines because they believed it would lead to the signing of a contract. "Speaking for myself, I'd prob ably go back under government seizure," Lee Burkey, a strike leader at Maxwell, Pa., said, "be cause under those cc.nditions we'd probably have a contract." When the government seized the mines on May 22, 1946, the striking miners held out for seven days until UMW president, John W. Lewis and secretary of the interior, Julius ( A. Krug signed a union-government agreement boosting wages and the welfare fund royalty.? Steve Panach, president of a local union n 'ar Brownsville, Pa., said he beliived the men would return under the same setup, but he added, "I hope the govern ment keeps all the profits." Violence Resumed Picketing vjfolcnce continued in the coal fieklp as the operator union negotiations resumed in Washington. A group of 1,000 pickets gathered at the Carrier Coal Co. mine at Conifer, Pa., turned over workers' automobiles and set the mine tipple on fire. When a fire truck from near by Erookville arrived, the pickets attempted to keep it from the mine, but a squad of 30 state po lice cleared the way. In West ' Virginia, warrants were issued for more than 75 pickets including one woman, as the result of violent attacks on mines and miners. The woman was accused of jabbing bound non-union workers with' a hat pin. Federal Judge Richmond B. Keech ordered the union to show cause at a hearing next Monday in Washington why it should not be found In contempt for refus ing to obey a Taft-Hartley law Injunction. Lions Hear Talk On China Airlift Observations made in China while he -was flying the airlift for the nationalists were reviewed by Captain Howie Buller, Stan ford graduate and veteran air man, at today's luncheon meet ing of the Bend Lions club. Bull er, who returned from China last summer after the communists swept over much of the country, is now owner of the former Fay and Kaye ranch, at Deschutes. Before going to China, he was in trans Atlantic service and for nine years was a pilot for the Rickcnbacher lines. "What Goes On in China" was the topic of tho airman's lunch eon talk. He was introduced by Doug Ward. R. E. Jewell pre sided at the luncheon meeting. Advice Ignored Captain Buller devoted a con siderable part of his talk to a discussion of the Chinese people. I with mention of their philosophy and their language. The Chinese, ihe said, will not accept advice. Buller said General Joe Stillwell was the only American leader in China to understand the Chinese and for this knowledge, the cap tain added, he was removed from i command. Buller also paid trib ute to ueneral MacArthur, and predicted that Japan, as the re sult of MacArthur's administra tion, will develop Into a worthy nation. Captain Buller was in the Ori ent when Quentin Roosevelt died in an air crash, and described the circumstances under which the American official met death. The luncheon meeting was at the Pine tavern. U. S. Breaks Off Diplomatic Relations With Bulgaria Public Power Cooperatives Meet at Pendleton, Consider Dicker for P.

Vogeler Given 15-Year Sentence Budapest, Hungary, Feb, 21 trpi Robert A. Vogeler, 39, American business man who pleaded guilty to sabotage and spying, against Hungary for the Unite States, was sentenced to lo years in prison today. The prosecution appealed at once, as is its privilege in Hun garian courts, o.n grounds that the court had been "too lenient." A British associate, Edgar San ders, was sentenced to 13 years imprisonment. Two Hungarian co defendants were given death sen tences. Three other Hungarians were sentenced to prison terms of 5 to 10 years. (In Vienna, Morris L. Ernst, New York attorney who was re fused a visa to defend Vogeler, said the trial was "a rigged up affair." He said he counted 85 misstatements of fact in the tes timony Vogeler read, and "tor ture or drugs apparently were used.) (In London, a foreign office spokesman said it was fair to speculate that "threats, induce ments and pressure" had been applied to cause Sanders to in criminate himself.) Trial Brief Judge Vilmos Olthy of the Bu dapest people's court pronounced sentences after a trial that lasted only three days. All seven de fendants pleaded guilty to oper ating and taking part in a spy ring which functioned for eight years. Vogeler, assistant vice presi dent and eastern European man ager of the International Tele phone and Telegraph Company, said in court that his business connections in Hungary were de signed rnerely as a cover for his spying on behalf of the U. S. army intelligence. The sentences of the Hungar ians, handed down in the red brick criminal court building where Joseph Cardinal Minds enty was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, follow; Imre Gelger, manager of the Standard Electric Company, Hun garian subsidiary of the I. T. & T., death; Soltan Rado, former section chief in a government ministry, death; Istvan Justh, a Catholic priest, 10 years; Kelman Domokos, factory di rector. 10 years; Edl.na Doery. a baroness turn ed barmaid, five years. Five of the defendants, Includ ing Vogeler and Sanders, who is a cousin of actor George San ders, had faced possible death sentences under the law. Vogeler was white of face but firmly in control of himself when he and his six co-defendants marched from their Jail cells with police escort just before 1 p. m. (7 a. m. EST.)

Chinese Reds Fail to Win Average Man By Victor Kendrlck lUniUil Prttw Stuff Ciirrei,ninih-nt) Hong Kong, Feb 21 UPi The Chinese communists have failed to win the support of the aver age citizen during their s i x months in the saddle, Chinese ar rivals here report. This also is the consensus of reports in Chinese newspapers here and of long-time political ob servers. They say the chief complaints neara wnen tne nationalists were in power have remained, and curbs on political freedom have increased. ' High taxes were a net neeve under the nationalists. But in the cities, at least, most of the taxes were absorbed by the rich. Taking Canton as an example, arrivals say most of the rich have fled, taxes have Increased tenfold, and as a "result small shopkeepers and businessmen are being forced to the wall. Farmers on Strike Reports are that many farmers In the "rice bowl" area of Hu nan have stopped planting rice because what they keep aftei taxes is not enough to live on. This "protest strike" may affect the food supply on a .national scale this year. Before the nationalists toppled on the mainland, soaring infla tion was one of the most specta cular signs of their instability. The communists have been caught in the same spiral and their currency has lost 1,500 per cent of its value so far. Stable currencies are banned.

He said he would confer imme diately with chairman Tom Con nally, D., Tex., of the foreign re lations committee about an open heal ing on the Wisconsin repub lican's charge that 81 communists and fellow travelers have wormed their way into the administra tion's top echelons.

The Bulgarian charge d'affaires in Washington, Peter Voutov, was Informed today and was asked to make immediate preparations to withdraw the Bulgarian diplomat- ... ic mission from Washington. The United States broke off re lations because Bulgaria had ac cused Donald R. Heath, the U. S. minister in Sofia, of conspiring against the Bulgarian govern ment. Bulgaria declared him per sona non grata and asked his re call. The United States warned Bul garia at the time that this coun try would break relations unless Bulgaria withdrew the charges.
