LEASED WIRE WORLD NEWS COVERAGE CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 47th Year TWO SECTIONS BEND, DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY. APRIL 21. 1950 No. 116 Ryssoa Rejects UoSo -Note, Denies Chair es 125 AAUW Delegates Register Here As State Convention Sessions Open ' . : Dr. Phoebe Morrison Speaker On Program Today ; Traces International Developments The annual state conference of American Association of University Women got under way today in Bend, highlighted by opening exercises in the library auditorium and at a luncheon session at the Pilot Butte inn, with Dr. Phoebe Mor rison, AAUW international relations associate, as speaker. Registration exceeded -expectations,, with about 125 women taking part. . Dr. Morrison, who has had extensive training and experi ence in international law and foreign affairs, and has served in such capacities as chiet ol the civil affairs unit, office of strategic services in Wash ington, D.C., and executive secretary and director of research for the Foundation of Foreign af fairs in the national capital, gave a word-picture of present-day world affairs under the topic, 'The Citizen Looks at Foreign Policy." Optimism Voiced No one in America, either aver age citizen or official, wants war, Dr. Morrison declared, voicing op timism and crediting the United Nations organization with "amaz ing progress," in the face of ob stacles which had to be overcome. "If America had wanted war the recent plane-shooting incident in Russia would have been sufficient to bring a declaration," Dr. Mor rison said. She added that Ihe fact that such problems can be dis cussed peacefully is a sound step toward international peace. Commenting on the work of United Nations, the international relations associate said that in considering the disparity of cul tures, religions and politics in every UN committee, it is remark able that the organization has been able to do the constructive work which it has accomplished. No "Glamor" In UN Because Americans "like spicy journalism," there is a tendency to lose sight of the quiet, orderly work that is accomplished by UN, but buried in the news because it has no glamor, Dr. Morrison charged, added that "we in Ameri ca have not learned to make peace sound as dramatic and exciting as war." She cited UN work in the recent cholera epidemic in Egypt as an example of important news that was not given proper play be cause It "was not dramatl c." Through agencies working with the UN health organization, ser um to combat the epidemic was flown from all parts of the world, she said. Criticism Unjustified Suggesting that criticism of UN is often unjustified, Dr. Morrison said that it is up to the world powers, not the UN organization, to write the peace treaties. Amer ica has no treaties with Germany, Japan or Austria, she pointed out, and added that technically, the peace has not been established. In her luncheon address Dr. Morrison traced developments in (Continued on Page 5) Pioneer Bend Major Remodeling Operation One nf RenH'e fnur Ihrpp.stnrv buildings, the Minnesota hotel, diagonally across from the fire hall on Minnesota avenue, will emerge on the Bend scene Mon "ay as a two-story building, to feet requirements of a new Ore Son fire law effective July 5.

REDS FORCED BACK Hong Kong, April 21' ir Na tionalist troops have smashed all but one of the three toeholds communist forces established on the northwest coast of Hainan island, nationalist reports from the Hainan capital of Holhow said today. Building Gets of the law, the Minnesota hotel management would have had to install a new and costly heating svstem and block off the present stairways. Rather than under take such a costly move, Mrs. Emma Grimes, owner, decided to eliminate the top story with its eight rooms. There will be 14 rooms In the two remaining floors. Built Abut 190r The Minnesota hotel was con structed when Bend was a range land village with a population of a few hundred people. It was constructed about 1905 by Arnt Aune, Bend pioneer, and was la- ter the home of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Aune. Forty years ago the third story, now being razed, was finished, to provide additional room space. Mrs. Grimes purchased ' the building 13 years ago, and exien- elvKlv renovated the structure. Contractors report that the tim ber in the third story is in per fect condition, despite its 40-year-old history. Contractors found In the top storv of the building two copies of The Bend Bulletin, bearing 1909 dates.

Roberts (t'nilrfl Press Staff Corrrsponilrnt ) Washington, "April 21 The soviet union stepped up its cold war offensive in eastern Europe today by accusing the western powers of turning the free territory of Trieste into a military base. Officials believe the Russian maneuver is designed to upset the west's effort to settle the Trieste question peaceably. In an effort to offset the new Russian drive, the state de partment sought ways of increasing the effectiveness of U.S. Telephone Co. Equipment Men Stage Walkout Portland, April 21 un Dan Harris, president of ioeaj 75 of Western Electric Installers (CIO) said today 230 telephone equip ment installers In Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho walked off their jobs today in protest against what he termed a "lockout and firing" of 100 telephone employes In South Bend, Ind. The Western Electric Installers union is a division of the Com munication Workers of America. Harris said the union will post pickets at telephone exchanges Monday if the telephone company does not rehire the "locked out" employes before then. Harris said that so far as he knows the union's action in the northwest was not part of a na tional union movement. He said the decision to walk off the job was made by the union members in the three northwest states after he sent them a tele-' gram telling them of the South Bend situation.

Thls was the consensus of rep resentatives of various agenclos attending the 13th annual meet ing of the Columbia river basin water forecast committee today. Survey reports from 15 repre sentative snow courses in the Co lumbia basin area show that the 1949 snowfall was heaviest on rec ord during the past 13 years. un the basis or the surveys, the committee agreed that the 1950 spring flood potential in the Co- lumwa Basin was extremely se vere," and held threat of a worst flood than that of 1948. Tlie Dalle Threatened Anthony J. Polos of the U. S. weather bureau in Portland pre dicted that the Columbia river runoff passing The Dalles, Ore., during the period from April through September will be 113,- uoo.uoo acre feet. Polos said a peak flow of 650,000 cubic feet per second was expected. This would bring the peak stage at Vancouver, Wash., to between 23 and 24' feet. Flood stage is 15 feet. The soil conservation service, which does not predict weather conditions, forecast that 112,000, 000 acre feet would pass The Dalles during the six-months per iod. The flow forecast was 127 pet cent of the 10-year average. Last year the flow peak was 93,000, 000 acre feet. In 1948, the disas trous flood year, the flow reach ed ii!7l&90,000 acre feet.

Clarence Pederson of the corps of engineers predicted a peak high at Vancouver of 24.5 feot with the Willamette river at Port land reaching 24.1 feet. Flood stage at Portland Is 18 feet. Pederson believes that, depend ing on weather conditions, this may be the second highest flood year in 17 years.

'.- uilL'ti III 1 U'r Lost Plane Inside Soviet Area, Claimed By Robert Musel (llnitt'il I'rvHN Stuff Correaeomtrnt) London, April 21 tilt Russia today categorically rejected an American protest against a soviet atlack on an American plane anal warned that its fighters would deal similarly with any other for eign aircraft flying over soviet territory. Radio Moscow said the soviet reply to an American note of last Tuesday was handed by soviet Foreign minister Andrei Vishin sky to U. S. Ambassador Alan G. Kirk at the Kremlin. Kirk said he would forward the note to Washington. The American note had charg ed that soviet fighters shot down an unarmed U. S. navy Privateer carrying a crew of 10 over the open Bultic sea April 8 . No wreckage or survivors have been found. Points Cited The soviet reply: 1. Contended that the plane which its fighters intercepted was not an unarmed Privateer, but a B-29 "Flying Fortress" engaged in photographing soviet defense installations. 2 Insisted that the American plane opened fire first after so viet fighters intercepted it A miles Inside soviet territory south of the big soviet naval base of Liepaja in Latvia. 3. Said the United Slates must bear sole responsibility for the Incident. 4. Warned that Russia has no intention of altering its standing Instructions to soviet airmen to fire upon any plane over soviet territory which resists orders to land. 5. Rejected American demands that Russia pay indemnity for the loss of the plane and the crew and rebuke soviet airmen who fired upon it. The note saHd Russia did not know whether the American plane was lost. Violation Charged "But If the American aircraft was Indeed, lost," the note said, "then the responsibility for its loss lies entirely with those gen tlemen who obliged the American aircraft to penetrate soviet terri tory and photograph soviet de fense installations, and so urged It to violate international law and the Inviolability of the soviet fron tier " The Soviets insisted that the plane which its fighters Inter cepted was "a B-29 Flying Fort ress . . . carrying American Iden tification marks." Actually the B-29 Is a Super fortress, somewhat larger than the older B-17 Flying Fortress. The Privateer also Is a single- tailed, four-cngined plane and American airmen said that It might he mistaken at a distance for either a B-29 or a B-17. However, the United States has Insisted throughout that the miss ing navy Privateer was unarmed. It left Wiesbaden at 10:31 a.m. scribed as a routine flight to Co GMT, April 8 on what was de penhagen, Denmark, and back. It lost radio contact after several hours and never reached Copen hagen. AGREEMENT SIGNED Moscow, April 21 Uli Russia and communist China have sign ed a new 1950 trade agreement whereby the soviet will supply equipment and Ihe Chinese raw materials, it was announced to day. The announcement said the agreement was signed by soviet minister of foreign trade M. A. Menshlkov and Chinese commu nist minister of commerce Yen Chi Chunng on April 19. Librarians to Bend
