MARCH 15, 1950 No. 84 Ach n Kn A im nsz UNew psm moves Warns Agai Loyalty Probe Elicits State Dept. Action By John L. Steele (United Presa Ktuff Currntpontk'nt) Washington, March 15 1M Slate department official John Stewart Service a target of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy will be or dered to return from India to apr pear personally before a depart ment loyalty board. The state department said to day that Service will be instructed to return her as soon as he lands in India. He sailed from San Francisco March 8 to take a new I foreign service post there. The department disclosed that the civil service loyalty review board yesterday asked it to take further steps in the Service loy alty case. The civil service agency return ed the case to the department sev eral hours after McCarthy, Wis consin republican, charged yester day that he "understood" the agency had done so 10 days ago. McCarthy, who charges that there are 57 communists in the state department, said the civil service agency's loyalty review board had disagreed with the de partment's loyalty clearance of , Service. Previously Cleared But the state department said that the civil service commission merely recommended that Serv ice appear personally before the .department's own loyalty board. The department's loyalty board had cleared Service's case without a personal appearance. Service technically has been as signed to Calcutta as consul gen eral, but department officials said new instructions had been in preparation to send him to the U. S. embassy at New Delhi. There, he would have been an embassy secretary and his duties "primari ' ly political reporting." Meanwhile, Chairman Millard E. Tydings of the senate sub-committee investigating McMarthy's charges said the state department has "Indicated a complete willing ness" to give the committee the loyalty files of employes accused of pro-communism. Will Get Files The Maryland democrat said Deputy undersecretary John E. Peurifoy indicated the depart ment's willingness in a personal telephone conservation. Tydings said he "hoped" that procedures could be worked out by Monday. Tydings made the announce ment after senate Investigators held a closed meeting to consider the charges made by Sen. Joseph R.

(United' I'rtna Staff Corrfspundrnt) Washington, March 15 mi The senate headed into a showdown today on a "middle income" hous. ing bill denounced by foes as "so cialistic" and defended by spon sors as "vital." After four days of debate the chamber was scheduled to vote at 4:30 p.m., ESTt on the bill Itself and on a series of amend mnnts. Two proposals by Sen. John W. Bi itker, R., O., would rip out the bill's most hotly-argued sections long-term low-cost loans for housing cooperatives and direct federal loans to veterans who can not get private financing. Sen. John J. Sparkman, D., Ala., a chief author of fie bill, believed all major amendments 'o weaken the measure would be lefeated. But he said "our edge is close." Among other things, the bill Would set up a new mortgage cor. potation, jointly financed by fed. Pial and private capital, in. make P to S1.000.0O0.O0O0 In loans to housing cooperatives.

Bricker and others have de Daylight Saving Tentatively Beaten by Redmond Council; Bend Decision to be Awaited Redmond, March 15 Councilmen at their meeting last night rejected the proposal that Redmond adopt the daylight .saving plan for the 1950 season, but indicated that their action, reached after Mayor Marion Coyner was called on to break a tie vote, should not be considered final. Councilmen who voted against the plan said that intelligent action could not be taken until Bend makes its decision on the daylight saviny diiestion. Loyd Belshe, operator of the Redmond Cab Co., who was present at the city council meeting, thanked council members for the additional space granted for cab use and asked the group to consider pro tecting his investment' by grant ling him a franchise. After some discussion, Coyner promised that the request would be considered at a subsequent meeting. Too Many Dogs I. M. Ivancovich, another vis itor, opened his request by offer ing each council member a dog. His complaint, it seemed, con cerned too many dogs. He said that he enforced the trailer park law by having dogs in the area tied up but that other dogs were overrunning the place. Question and answer routine ran some thing like this: "What do you do with stray dogs?" "Impound them." "Where is that place?" "There isn't any.". On consulting the ordinance in regard to dogs councilmen found Redmond as well as the county requires licensing and that pen alties coold be imposed on owners of dogs which trespassed. Dogs must be impounded five days be fore they are killed, bolt-hearted city employes, it was brought out, were reluctant to execute tne animals. The matter was referred to Police chief McKelvey and to Councilman Kenneth V a d n a I s, both of whom Ivancovich prom ised to shftdow until the situation was remedied. Mrs. Reibhoff In serted a reminder .that dog licens es'will be 50 cents higher the first of April. - ... Budget committee appoint ments also were discussed. Terms of C. E. Thompson and W. K. Charlesworth expire this year, un der the staggered term system. A number of names were suggested. Mayor Coyner indicated further consideration will be given the matter at the next meeting. Budget Near Mrs. Reibhoff reminded the group that departments heads should be preparing budget fig ures and a tentative date should be set for a budget hearing. It was suggested that the date of a preliminary hearing be set to co incide with a visit by Bernard C. Davis who had volunteered his help when he audited the city books. This suggestion was ac cepted and Mrs. Reibhoff was ask- (Continued on page i.)

But Sparkman said it was the "least inflationary part of the bill. The closest vote was expected on a substitute for the co-op sec tion sponsored bv Sens. Charles W. Tobey. R., N.H., and Irving M. Ives, R., N.Y.- They would merely expand the federal housing ad ministration's present program of mortgage insurance on private fi nancing of co.ops and give limit ed technical aid.

Speaks in Bend - . 4 t i Hi Orval Etter, far west secretary for the Fellowship of Reconcili ation, is in Bend for a series of speaking engagements today " and tomorrow., Junior Chamber Hears World Government -Talk "World Government: What kind and how get it?" was the subject of Orval Etter, far west secretary for the Fellowship of Reconciliation, an international peace organization, at the lunch eon meeting of the Junior cham ber of commerce today noon in tne Pine l avern. Etter, who was born in Colo rado. in 1915 and has been a life long resident of the far west, has been a regional secretary of the Fellowship of Reconciliation for the past six years. In 1945-46 he served the northern California and Oregon area, and has been in charge of the entire far west re gional since 1947 He is a gradu ate of the University of Oregon and tne university or Oregon law school. "It is idle to plan for world gov ernment on one hand, if on the other hand, actions are committed that wipe away the very founda tions for international good will," Etter said. "The more we arm, the more suspicion and distrust we arouse, and the goal of interna tional understanding becomes more remote," he declared. Means Considered It is useless to plan for world government unless attention is given to the kind of such govern ment which would be best, and the means by which it could be achieved, the speaker said. He said that the goal of a world gov (Continued on Page 5) 4 Persons Hurt In Auto Wreck Portland.

Poland Quits World Bank, Hurls Charges- Washington, March 15 itli So viet controlled Poland quit the world bank and the International monetary fund today, accusing them of discriminating against non-Marshall plan countries and supporting "American capital ism." Poland's decision was made known in letters to the bank and fund from Polish Ambassador Jozef Winiewicz. The Russian satellite country's withdrawal from the two organi zationsthe first since they were established at Bretton Woods, N. H., in 1944 is effective immedi ately. - v . Poland's action reduces mem bership in each organization to 47 countries, including Czechoslovak ia, Yugoslavia and Finland. Rus sia never joined. Reply Promised . The world bank made public Winiewicz' letter, but the fund withheld publication of the letter it received. The bank promised a reply "in due course" to Poland's charges that: 1. "The bank has in no way con tributed to the reconstruction of nations ravaged by war." 2. The bank has violated its statutory requirements. 3. The bank's policy is one of "subservience" to the Marshall plan, "which had as its aim the subordination of Europe to the united states and the rebuilding of the war potential of Germany. ' Winiewicz cited as "a glaring instance" of "political discrimina tion" against non-Marshall plan countries the bank's refusal to grant Poiand a loan. The tank has granted' lo'a'hs" to countries behind the iron curtain Finland and Yugoslavia. Fin land last fall got a $2,300,000 loan; Yugoslovia $2,700,000. Yu goslavia also has pending an ap plication for a $25,000,000 loan. Education Bill Still Has Chance Washington, March 15 iU'i By a one-vote margin, the house la bor committee today kept alive a federal aid to education bill. The long-wrangling committee voted 13 to 12 to continue study of an aid bill substituted yester day for a senate-approved meas ure to pour $300,000,000 annually into public school operating ac counts. But by a 13-11 vote the commit tee delayed consideration of the aid issue until April 17. Most members said the action didn't reflect any real change in : the committee's sentiment as of 1 yesterday when it killed the sen-1 ate bill. Today the committee approved a motion by Rep. John S. Wood, D., Ga., to "take up and read for; amendments" a related bill bv Rep. Thomas H. Burke, D., O.. I earmarking all aid funds for teachers' salaries. Alternatives Studied Rep. Richard M. Nixon, R.. Calif., then moved to table the question until a sub-committee re ports on alternative measures to help schools Indirectly by con tributing to their construction costs. Before approving these, the committee amended It to set a specific date April 17. In months of wrangling the problem was been to get a major ity of the cqmmlttee together on any one version. The real issue has been aid to parochial schools. Burke's bill would get around that issue to some extent, by ear marking all federal funds for teachers' salaries. In few If any states do the state educational authorities help out with salaries in parochial tch-iols.

Yesterday the committee, aftiT killing the senate aid bill, declined 14 to 10 to consider either the Burke bill or another related measure to offer federal help only to needy states. Today the group turned aside a new motion to consider the "needy" states bill, then approv- ed the Wood motion to consider the Burke teachers' salary bill.

Bend woman, whose voice trembled with emotion, telephon. ed The Bulletin office Tuesday in mid-afternoon to report that she had just seen a "flying saucer," from a window of her home on Bend's ea.st side. She gave her name, but only on the promise that it would be kept in confl. dence. "Please," she said earnestly, "don't put my name in the paper. People would think I'm crazy."- She said that the flying object, which appeared (lull-colored on one side and shiny on the other, willed slowlv through the air, In ".somersault' fashion. It did. n't seem to be very high, but she had no idea of the distance, or the probable size of the object. It dls appeared behind a tree, In the re gion of Pilot Butte, and she didn't investigate further. "It wasn't like anything I've ever seen before." she said, "and I'm scared." 3 SHOT TO DKATH Gary, Ind., March 15 ' -Three men were found shot to death In farm shanty today and police ized a man found wandering In drunken daze on the highway.

In a .forthright enunciation of United States policy in the far east, Acheson said that the Chi nese "can only bring grave trou ble on themselves ... if they are led by their new rulers into aggressive or subversive adven tures beyond their borders." In a major address before the Commonwealth club of Califor nia, Acheson declared: "We now face the prospect that the Communists may attempt to . use China as a base for prob ing for other weak spots which they can move into and exploit. Acheson referred to southeast Asia, where Communists are en gaged in guerrilla fighting, and apparently to south Korea, which is being subjected to increasing red pressure. Help Promised Acheson promised the free na tions of southeast Asia that if they undertake to resist Com munist aggression this country will help them. "In some situations it will be military assistance," he said. "In others, it may be grants or loans, . such as the recent $100,000,000 credit to the Republic of the Unit ed States of Indonesia. In still other cases, the need may be for technical assistance." Acheson said "these are not new principles nor is the applica tion of them to the far east a new departure." But he empha-. sized that "our help can only re inforce the efforts which others are prepared to make on their own behalf." .. He lamented the fact that U. S. help "on a massive scale" did not bring recovery and peace to Chi na, whose conquest by the Com munists he blamed on the Na tionalists. Forced On China "As old friends, we sav to the Chinese people that we fully un derstand that their present un happy status within the orbit of the Soviet Union is not the re sult of any choice on their part, but has been forced upon them," Acheson said. At the same time, Acheson said that the Chinese soon would see the aid promised them bv Rus sia under the Russian-Chinese treaty won't meet their needs. , He said that American trade with China is far more important than Soviet economic help to Chi na's needs. But he set forth con ditions under which the United States could trade with Red Chi na. "Trade requires certain stand ards of conduct," he said. "Ships, planes, and traders must be re ceived under conditions of secur ity and decency. Contracts must be honored. There must be some medium of exchange reasonably regulated." Under those conditions, he said the United States would sanction trade with China. However, he warned that the United States "does not propose that Americans should sell goods that may be used to harm us." "Nor does this government pro pose to give credits or gifts," he added, "to those who declare their i hostility to us and all we stand for." In his speech, Acheson also: (Continued on Page 5) Bill looms, Agreement TheUluced by "captive" mines owned by steel companies also will be increased, but the effect will not , Ji,.,l K thn mnsumor. : t- m n -- i The first ma or Dr ee boost was announced by George H.
