February 11, 1955 Soviets Purge Six Justices Of High Court LONDON (UP) Soviet Russir purged its Supreme Court todaj in a mysterious move which Sovie' experts here believed may br linked to the recent top level shif in power in the Kremlin. Moscow Radio, monitored here announced that six justices of the liighest court in Russia have beer ousted and replaced. The Soviet Supreme Court is the court of final jurisdiction in cases of treason, sabotage and other high crimes against the state. No reason was given for the shakeup. But it was assumed that the judges who were ousted had a hand in rendering some decision not popular with the new regime. There was speculation that there might have been some connection with the still hazy case of the "nine doctors" who were accused during Staling last days of plotting to muraer Kussia s top leaders and then were exonerated when Georgi Malenkov became Premier. With his fall from the top Soviet politi cal post and the .appointment, of Marshal Nikolai Bulganln as Pre mier, it wus believed the case may have been reopened again. A less likely possibility yas that the drastic court shakeup had some connection with the ouster, trial and execution of Russia's former security chief. Idvrenti Beria. It was generally agreed her that the announcement indicates some significant shift in Soviet Communism line. Water Reservoir Regulation Set L PORTLAND (UP) Regulation of federal water, reservoirs is being undertaken by agencies concerned to meet the low water runoff pre dicted in me Northwest during summer and full months. The water management group, representing Bonneville Power Ad ministration, die Bureau of Recla mation and the Corps of Engineers, said the regulation would provide the greatest possible storage for power generation during the low water season. BPA authorities said Hungry Horse reservoir is filling at a rate to cause It 'to overflow July 15, the earliest date storage release might become necessary. Grand Coulee dam will be regu lated so that Its reservoir will be full when the natural river flow is slack, water officials said. The BPA said there was no problem in meeting federal Jirm or steady power requirements. But If rainfall should continue to be below normal through next fall, It might result In the shutting oft of so-called Interruptible power. Soil conservation and weather bureau experts announced Wednes day that Columbia, Snake and Willamette river snowpacks were between 15 and 20 per cent below normal.

Lonergan yesterday declared un constitutional the 'state's relatives' responsibility act. Judge Lonergan . said the law was "so conflicting, vague, indef inite and uncertain as to be in capable of interpretation." He further, declared the -1949 law was "unreasonable, arbitrary, dis criminatory and oppressive In that It fixes an Inflexible jcale deter mining the liability of responsible relatives without relation to ability to pay ... or pro rata assessment on all liable relatives." ' The decision was handed down in a suit brought by Alma D. Mai latt, Portland school teacher, against the state Public Welfare Commission. The plaintiff, who had been or dered by the welfare commission to pay $70 monthly toward the support of her parents, challenged the validity of the law. She asked the court to determine whether her brothers and sisters, should not be equally liable on a pro rata basis depending on their incomes. Judge Lonergan criticized the law, which was amended In 1953. for singling out one or several of responsible relatives and holding such persons liable for the full measure of contribution. The Judge, in declaring the law unconstitutional, issues a condition al decree which would authorize the state Legislature to correct Its faults before it is voided. The rul ing would take effect April 15.
