The State Highway department this morning removed the . old five-lamp traffic signal and in stalled two new batteries of sig nals at the intersection of Frank lin and Wall. The new signals are expected to end tourist confusion caused by the old signal with Its three green arrows. One of the new signals was hung in the middle of the center lane to control traffic turning left from Wall onto Franklin. The other signal was suspended ove,r the right lane of traffic to di rect' cars '" either ,. proceeding straight on Wall Or turning" right from Wall toward Drake park. Highway engineers said they ex pected the new left turn signal would alleviate confusion for driv ers desiring to turn left onto . Franklin from Wall street. A crew from the highway de partment completed installation shortly before noon. . Both new signs were strung on the same cable across the south ern corners of the intersection and facing the main business sectior of Wall street. Installed next to the new three lamp signal for left turns was an illuminated sign warning drivers to await the flashing of a green, loft-pointing- arrow before turning. The lamp controlling traffic moving along Wall or turning right from Wall has four lamps, two of which are green indicating direction of travel.- ! The signals are operated daily between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. China Abandons Voluntary Duty TOKYO (UP) Red China has announced it is putting military service on a "compulsory basis" to help build up "a modern army." Peiping Radio last night broad cast new regulation abandoning "voluntary" military duty for a draft .and adopting a system of ranks for officers. American military, experts said the "volunteer" label on army ser vice was a fraud anyway. The de cision to give It up and form a regular army hased on systematic laws may have resulted from ex perience with the "volunteer" ar my in Korea, they said. Red China's patchwork of press gang methods to persuade troops to "volunteer" produced discon tent with the regime at home and desertions by the thousands at the front, it was reported during the war. American ohservers attached particular significance , to the de cision to create nn officer corps. Under the old system it was dif ficult to aisunguisn a (.nincse 'jim munist general from a private. Every soldier was a "comrade" and there was no prominent insig nia to mark the distinction between a platoon leader and a division commander. PIT ON PROBATION Perry James Coon, Redmond, was placed on five years proba lion by Judge Ralph S. Hamil ton in circuit court yesterday aft er pleading guilty to failing to pro vide for his children.

Paul Pat terson said today he was too busy with legislative problems to think about future political plans and that he knew nothing of a report ed Republican plan to draft him to run for the U.S. ' Senate next year. , The Seattle Times said yester day that top GOP strategists want to draft Patterson and Gov. Ar-!no thought as to the political fu thur B. Langlie of Washington tojture."- run. lor the Senate next year. Patterson presumably would op pose Sen. Wayne Morse and Lan glie run against Democrat Warren G. Magnuson. Langlie, in Olympia, also denied Knowledge or sucn pians.- ;" -; However, both left the door open for a possible draft at the request of President Eisenhower. Patterson and Langlie both visit ed the president recently. Both said he made no mention of any such plan. Patterson said yesterday, how ever, "no American could refuse a request to do anything to assist the president in his work. But no Senate Approves Defense Treaty With Nationalists; Morse Opposes WASHINGTON (UP) The Sen ate's overwhelming approval of a lefense treaty between the United states and the Nationalist Chinese ?ave Red China renewed warning today that this country will fight to defend Formosa. The treaty with Chiang Kai- shek's government cleared the Sen att Wednesday night by a whop ping 64 to 6 bipartisan vote, far more than the required two-thirds majority, and was sent to Pres- SEN. WAYNE MORSE Votes against treaty. ident Eisenhower for his signa ture. The treaty is narrower In scope than the special authority for For- iiusa's defense voted by both 'wuses of Congress to President Eisenhower earlier. That action authorized the Pres ident to defend not only Formosa and the Pescadores Islands, both of which are covered In the treaty, but also any other Nationalist held Islands off the coast of Red Thina he deems vital to Formosa's defense. Treaty Is Permomot But the treaty Is permanent while the earlier resolution is emporary measure to siiecifically neet the present Formosa crisis. The resolution expires 'vhen t h e "resident feels the Forriosa situa- 'Ion has stabilized sufficiently. "The six senators votng against 'he treaty were Dennis Chavez (D- NMt, Albert Gore (D-Tenn), Esfes Keiauver tu-ienn;, neroen n Ajar But Later, uh... such request has been made of me." He added that his statement was "in no sense to be considered an announcement or indication concerning , any future political plans. I have none at this time," he said. "At present I am busy trying to help the Oregon Legislature with Its" deliberations and I have Langlie made a similar state ment at Olympia The Times story said Mr. Eisen hower was reported to have said he would campaign in Oregon and Washington in behalf of Patterson and ' Langlie. The newspaper-saW the plan to draft the governors was worked out by Sherman Adams, presidential assistant, and Attorney General Herbert Brownell. - Oregon State GOP Chairman Ed Boehnke said he knew nothing about the report. "Were not put ting out anything on Republican candidates until the State Legls- latlve session is over," he said. Lehman (DNY), William Langer (R-SD) and Wayne Morse (Ind Ore). - - The treaty was approved after the Senate defeated efforts to tack on formal restrictions to specific ally exclude the islands of Quemoy and Matsu from the territory covered and turned down a pro posal to specify that the treaty does not involve the question of Formosa's legal sovereignty, which was left in doubt by postwar treaties. In its report on the treaty, the Foreign Relations Committee said the administration had given as surances that the treaty involves neither of these questions. But Morse, Langer and Lehman wanted this spelled out.

The speaker was Charles Eagle Plume, interpreter of Indian lore, life and culture, member of the Blackfoot tribe of Montana and a graduate in anthropology from the University of Colorado. Eagle Plume attributed the re surgence of the white race In Eu rope following the discovery and colonization of the new world to the introduction to Europe of 32 eco nomically Important ; vegetable foods, many of . them used by American Indians. These ' new foods, the speaker declared,-, were Introduced to people of the old world at a time when the white race was on the decline, the result of plagues, famines and pestil ence. Foods mentioned included the so-called "Irish potatoes" and corn, Eagle Plume said. The Knife and Fork speaker, who appeared in full tribal cos tume, said the white race has bor rowed much from the Indians not only in foods, but In mathe matics, in science and in the ways of living. He declared that the Iro quois conception of democratic gov ernment played a part in shaping the government of the United States. Eagle Plume was studying for his doctorate at Columbia Univer sity when World War II started He served In a guerilla unit of the U. S. Army in the South Pa cific for three years. Alva C. Goodrich presided at the dinner meeting of the club, at the Thompson school auditorium. New Patrolman Named by City A life-long Bend resident, Maur ice M.

Pinay Gives Up, Pflimlin Planning Try By WILBUR LANDRY United Press Staff Correspoadet PARIS (UP) President Rene Coty has named Pierre Pflimlin of France in a second attempt to end the sixty-day-old government crisis, reliable sources said today. Businessman Antolne Pinav. a former Premier, ' earlier notified Cdty that he was unable to line. up enough support to form Frances 21st government since the end of World War II. . - The chances of the 49-year-old Pflimlin to win the post made va cant when Pierre Mendes-France resigned last weekend were not considered good. The sources said. In tact, that . Pflimlin might not even accept Coty s invitation to attempt to form a Cabinet. Therefore, an early end to uie crisis was not in sight. . Pinay failed largely because of . the opposition offered by Pflim ltn's own MRP. The next step, In line with French parliamentary custom, would be to give the MRP a change to fill the premiership since It constituted the chief non- Communist opposition to the Men des-France government. . Pflimlin was the only member of his party who voted for the ex pandei Western 'European union, and thuswas considered most ac ceptable to both the right wing and the Socialists. It was the MRP that was largely responsible for toppling Mendes-France and for Pinay'a failure. The MRP also caused Plnay's fall in 1952 after a term that made him the most popular postwar Premier until Mendes- France came along. Other names put forward oy polltical observers were Socialist Christian Pineau, SO, and Edgar Faure, 46, a member of Mendes France's Radical Socialist Party who became foreign minister shortly before the Cabinet fell. . Faure, a finance expert who held office as France's youngest post; war Premier for 40 days In 1932,- startled the country by challenge Ing a newspaper editor to a duel shortly, after taking over the for eign ministry. The duel was called off.
