men snatched her from a street
Sunday night, March 19. They be.
lieved she was killed and thrown
into the river soon afterwards.
Found by Fishermen
Miss Dewey's body was found
yesterday by three fishermen. The
body lay face down in n cluster
of rocks in the river.
Authorities said the body may
have been tossed from a bridge,
possibly from a low span 1.000 1

sion bridtre two miles distant.
A post mortem examination
was directed by Dr. Howard L.
Itichardspn of the University of
Oregon medical school.
It disclosed signs of a brain
hemorrhage. But the definite
cause of death will not he deter
mined pending a microscopic ex
amination. An all-out hunt was ordered
for Miss Dewey's murderers. But
there were virtually no clues.
Doctors found the front part
of the girl's skull had been crush
ed. One eve was black, several
teeth knocked out, the abdomen
punctured, and an arm and a leg
slashed. Authorities said unoffi
cially that some injuries probab
ly were inflicted in the river, aft
er death.
Community Shocked
Discovery of the giri's body
shocked this community, which
had turned out for a massive,
volunteer search for Miss Dewey
Saturday. The body was found
about 50 miles east of Vancouver.
Miss Dewey, a resident of Bat
tleground, Wash., had been work,
ing in a Portland sanitarium. She
had stopped over in Vancouver on
her wav to Battleground for a
week end visit with her parents.
Householders living near St.
.Tnsenh's hospital heard her
scream. One man said he saw
Joann struggling with two men.
He told police he yelled to the
men:
"Whnt' nil 1hi noise about?
"Shut up, it's my wife," one of
the men replied.
The girl screamed: "No, Iiti
not I'm not!"
Then she was dragged Into a
car. She was never seen alive
again.

Trapp Family
Singers Appear
In Bend Tonight
The Trapp Family-Singers, who
will be presented in concert Mon
day at 8:30 p.m. at the Tower
theater, will appear in authentic
originals of the Tyrolean peasant
styles which have become a ma
jor American vogue in the past
few seasons. Both on stage and
off, Madame Maria Augusla
Trapp and her daughters wedr
floor-length dirndls of hand-woven
fabrics, with gaily figured ap
rons and shawls and billowy white
peasant blouses.
For the opening group of num
bers on the program, the singers
will appear in formal evening ver
sions of their native dress. For the
second half of the program, they
will wear gayest holiday attire, of
figured brocades.
. The singers, who bbcame Amer
ican citizens this year, were the
subject of. an editorial sendoff re-
c(lnJ3y in keaders Digest. Both
tHe ""older Trapp boys are U. S.
citizens by war service, Johannes
by birth." The baroness and her
seven girls were to take their fi
nal oath this winter.
lied From Nazis
The family came to America
from their home in the quiet Ty
rolean Alps shortly after the day
that the nazi flags flew over Salz
burg. With them was youthful
Father Franz Wasner, music
teacher and spiritual adviser to
'he children, who announces their
programs on concert tours.
Leaving Austria meant' aband
oning a life of elegance and ease,
and for Baron Gerog von Trapp
(who died last year) the price of
holding his family villa would
have been service to the nazis.
They made their "decision and
sailed for America, forsaking ev
erything save the S10 each was
permitted to take out of the coun
try. The family now has a home at
Stowe, Vt., in a setting much like
that of their native Tyrol.

Hoover Opposes
Release of Files
Washington, March 27 (U'l FBI
director J. Edgar Hoover warned
senators today that disclosure of
FBI loyalty files might cost the
lives of U. S. secret agents, and
give "a foreign power'' informa
tion it wants on American gov
ernment and industrial leaders.
In one of his rare appearances
before congress, the FBI chief,
told a senate foreign relations
subcommittee he is dead set
against granting its request for
a look at the government's secret
loyalty files.
He indicated that he might quit
his job before taking such action.
Hoover joined Attorney general
J. Howard McGrath in testifying
that disclosure of the loyalty files
would mean the "complete col
lapse" of the FBI's investigative
system
Neither official refused flatly,
however, to turn the files to the
senate investigators. They made.
it plain that decision Is up to
President Truman who is still
considering a reply to the subcom
mittee's request.
But their stand appeared to set
the stage for a blunt and official
"no" from the president, now va
cationing, at Key West, i la. It
seemed certain that Mr. .Truman,
who has refused similar requests
in the past, would back up his two
top law enforcement officers on
this one.
"The contents of the files.'1
Hoover declared, "were never in
tended to be disclosed and, un
less we drastically change and
circumscribe our procedures, they
should not be disclosed."

Atomic Engines
Still Far Off
Washington. March 27 U'i
Qualified officials Indicated today
that many baffling technical prob
lems remain to be solved oetore
atomic engines can be used in
aircraft.
The atomic energy commission,
the air force and the national ad
visory committee for aeronautics
are cooperating In an intensive
research program on atom-powered
planes. But none will pre
dict success in the early future
While details of research are
top-secret, it is known that the
two biggest difficulties, are:
1. Developing a light-weight
shield to protect aircraft crews
from the deadly radiations of ato
mic engines. This problem will
be attacked when the AEC com
pletes its materials testing react
or due for construction near Arco,
Ida, next year.
2. Finding some way to convert
the heat generated in the atom!':
engine to propulsive power, with
out; the need for cumbersome
steam boilers hardly suitable for
aircraft.
Speech Surprise
Some surprise was expressed
here at a speech in Cleveland last
week by Andrew Kalitinsky, an
engineer attached to Oak Ridge,
Tenn., by Fairchild Aircraft Corp
under an air force contract. Kal
itinsky is assigned to the "NEPA"
project nuclear energy for pro
pulsion of aircraft.
Kalitinsky said a date has been
set for test-flying an atomic pow
ered plane capable of circling the
globe at supersonic speed. He did
not indicate when the date is.
The atomic energy commission
declined to bomment on the
speech, but officials called atten
tion to a recent Los Angeles ad
dress by Dr. Lawrence R. Haf
stad, the AEC director of reactor
development, and leading author
ity on atomic engines.
Hatstact said mat developing
any kind of an aircraft reactor
will be extremely difficult" and
intimated that it is too early to
tell when it will be leasable if
ever.
Government policy, he said, is
to continue intensive research
"for the next two or three years,
by which time it might be hoped
that data might become available
to permit a re-evaluation and a
more decisive conclusion.
Hafstad also remarked that
"the pessimists, in general, are
those best Informed about the
progress of aircraft reactor re
search.
The optimists either are not
yet aware of the very real imme
diate difficulties, or they are bet
ting heavily on new ideas and
new developments arising during
the course of the work," he said.
Hitchcock Tells
Of Brazil Trip .
"If you wish to live the way'the
natives do, then costs in Brazil
are low," Maurice Hitchcock told
the Bend Kiwanis club this noon,
"but to maintain U.S. standards,
you will find costs are higher
than here."
"There are plenty of business
and industrial opportunities, tile I

visit from Coos Bay, spoke brief
ly in the early part of the club
luncheon and met with directors
at the close of the meeting.

Redmond, March 27 Rupert
Parks, chairman of the Kiwanis
Boy Scout committee, made an
appeal at the club's luncheon
meeting last Thursday noon fori
assistance in finding a scoulmas-!

Chapman Coming
(Continued from Page 1)
on the progressive party ticket
two years ago. Taylor is now try
ing' to get back' in democratic
good graces.
Two Republicans
Two republicans also are try
ing to get reseated this year. They
are Wayne Morse of Oregon and
Henry C. Dworsliak of Idaho.
Morse is running for reelection
and Dvorshak is running to fill
out the term of the late Sen. Bert
Miller. D., Ida., who died during
the winter.
Chapman isn't expected to
speak of broad national matters.
He is expected instead lo hit lo
cal and regional Issues such as
proposed creation of a Columbia
valley administration.
That issue, according to reports
coming here from the northwest,
is the one on which office-seekers
think they will sland or fall this
year.
Chapman himself has gone on
record many limes in favor of
the CVA. lie is expected to plug
this theme again next week.
Opposition Strong
There is strong opposition to
the CVA, not only from private
power companies and heavy wa
ter users, but also from within
the government itself. The bureau
of reclamation, one of Chapman's
agencies, has shown no enthus
iasm for the CVA. The army en
gineers also oppose CVA since it
would curb some of their dam
building powers.
Taylor and Magnuson both have
come out strongly for the CVA.
Dworsliak Is one of its bitterest
enemies. He spent most of his
time speaking against CVA in
the period between his 1948 de
feat by Miller and his appoint
ment last December as Miller's
successor.
Chapman's department already
has started preparations for the
president's visit to Grand Coulee
dam In May. Mr. Truman will
dedicate the dam then.
The call has gone out to the
field from reclamation headquar
ters here to start getting mater
ial ready for the president's dedi-
