(Bend Bulletin Photo) Survey Due Of Industrial Sites in Bend Provision was made at Wednes day night's planning commission meeting for a rapid but compre hensive survey of the city's possi ble industrial areas by Planning Consultant J. Haslett Bell and a committee ot commissioners. The survey was to be launched today, with Bell and members ol the commission expected to tour the city to locate areas suitable fur industrial expansion. - Matter of a survey was brought to a head by Jack Robinson,-1576 Awbrey road, who asked the com mission's advice on locating an equipment sales rental agency on E. 1st at Seward. Currently that property is em braced in a tourist - commercial zone that extends along The Dalles-California highway. His projected business, with its repair and maintenance of heavy equipment, was considered a light industry by commissioners. They determined to survey the area along the highway and other locales in the city to . ascertain building trends that might point lo industrial development and jus tify re-zoning. . . . ' City Engineer John Eaton, an ex-officlo member of the commis sion, sucgested that a several block section bordered on the north by Thurston avenue, on the west by an alley between E. 1st and Division, on the south by Revere and on the east by the railroad tracks be reclassified light Indus try. . He said it was his opinion that that region is tending toward in dustrial usage. Planning Commission Chairman Henry Pyzdrowski said that should today's cursory survey locate an area in which the trend toward in dustrial uses predominates,, a spe cial commission meeting would be called to consider the possibility of a zone change. Planninz consultant J. Haslett Rell. who regularly attends the planning commission's monthly meetings, advised that by the April session he should have a complete report on possible indus trial areas. He said he would re-arrange his schedule to hasten a full sur vey of the city's industrial potential. 2 Bids Received For Old School Two offers of $500 each for the old Richardson school property buildings and acreage were made to Bend school district when bids were opened at the meeting of the local school directors at the city superintendent's oft ice on wall street last night.

The sunerintendent mentioned basic school fund legislation under consideration in Salem, one1 of which seeks equalization in dis tribution a the districts of the state by gradual upbuilding of the equalization factor in the fund, the other by adding $10 per school census child to the fund's income. He ventured no opinion as to Hie chances for success of either. Hearing Due He reported also introduction by Representative H. H.

GivenPupil BULLETIN DAILY NEWSPAPER Only Barest Chance Held ForPineau PARIS (UP)-Socialist Christian Pineau started urgent talks with his political leaders today in an ef fort to become premier on his party's platform. Few observers gave him more than the barest chance of rallying enough support from the rightist and center elements of the French National Assembly to form the 21st postwar government. The il-day-old crisis which began with the ouster of Premier Pierre Mendes- France has delayed ratification of the Paris pacts and put the whole issue of German Rearmament in doubt. The suave, balding 50-year-old Pineau said Monday night the So cialist Parry platform would form the basis of his own program. It was mainly for this reason that pol iticians gave him little chance of forming a cabinet and getting as sembly approval. . The Socialist platform does not nave many supporters in the as sembly aside from the party's 105 deputies, the largest single party bloc. It's main planks are reduction of taxes on consumer, goods, im proved training of unemployed workers, heavier, taxes on large companies and consistent backing for the principle of separtaion of church and state. Pineau's first meeting this morn ing was with Pierre Pflimlin, Cath olic Popular Republican (MRP) deputy who acknowledged .defeat1 Monday in his three-day struggle to form a government. Failure of Pflimlin, the second man to try to reconcile the con flicting interests of the 626 depu ties, catapulted Pineau into the crisis. Independent Antoine Pinuy Was the first to try and fail after the fall of Mendes-France.

I Trouble in Switzerland Anti-Beds Seize BERN, Switzerland (UP) A band of anti-Communists armed with hand grenades and tommy- guns seized the Romanian Lega tion in a burst of gunfire today and vowed to hold it until Roma nia releases five resistance light ers from Iron Curtain jails. The legation chauffeur. Aurel Fetu, was shot fatally during the brief attack In which the legation was seized. The Swiss government said the anti-Commnist refugees shot their way into the legation chancellery and the home of the Romanian charge d'affaires, driving Com muntst officials out ot the build ings in one of the most unusual Incidents of the cold war. The action placed neutral Swit zerland in the midst of an inter national crisis similar to one in Copenhagen, where police and de tectives were besieging the Ro manian Legation in belief the Communists were holding as hos tage the child bride of a Roman ian who chose freedom. Night Attack Police said a band of five to sev en Romanian anti-reds stormed in to legation buildings and ousted the consular staff in a night attack that jumped off just before mid night and achieved complete control of the legation early today. A burst of gunfire chopped down the Communist legation's chauf when he tried to block the inva sion, officials said. A legation spokesman said oth ers were injured. . Swiss police, wearing steel hel mets against the threat of fur ther shooting, ringed the consul ate buildings in a usually quiet Bern Park this morning and ar feur who touched off the ghootlng rested one of the anti-Commnists who tried to slip out of the lega tion. Two others were reported to have fled, but a holdout group re mained inside.- ' ' Swiss Seek Solution, - The Swiss Cabinet held a special morning session and the Foreign Department, Switzerland's State Department, held urgent consultn Nevada A-Bomb Tests Delayed LAS VEGAS. Nev. (UP) The Atomic Energy Commission today postponed "for at least 24 hours a scheduled A-bomb test because of shifting winds and heavy cloud formations. The weather hazards developed a scant four hours before the first explosion of the 1955 test series was due to be set off from a sou- foot steel tower at 8:45 a.m. EST, A spokesman said the postpone ment was advisable because the winds that developed might carry a radioactive atomic cioua over the small mining, ranching and railroad communities of Pioche and Callente, NcV., some 120 miles northeast of the test site. During planning for the first blast of the 1955 series the Joint Office of Test Information direct ing the experiment had made it clear the test would not be made on schedule if the weather was not favorable. Weather precautions were em phasized because of rigid safety standards set up by officials con ducting the tests. They were de termined that no possible harm could come to residents of the area near the Yucca Flat proving itround located some 75 miles northeast of Las Vegas., Maybe Wednesday Morning Twenty-four hours before the scheduled hour for the explosion visibility over Yucca Flat was .in limited and there were no winds. During the day Monday the cloud cover increased steadily and gentle winds began blowing from the southwest. Decision on the postponement was reached at a meeting of AEC scientists. They said they would meet later today to determine If the shot would be rescheduled for Wednesday morning. Officials decided agaiast firing the shot when the weather fore cast called for alto-stratus clouds at 15,000 feet and 15-mile an hour winds, at 10.000 feet. They feared the winds might carry radiation over the Caliente-Panaca-Ploche area northeast of here and due east of "ground zero." DEATH REPORTED THE DALLES (UP)-Edward C.

Exclusion of present buildings from terms of the proposal. , 2. Elimination of an on-street- parklng requirement for industrial buildings. The five planning commissioners present for the regular monthly meeting at the city hall saemed agreed that the proposal as amended by the city commission should be re-edited to generalize regulations to both present and future buildings and to include in dustrial sites. Planning Commission Chairman Henry Pyzdrowski instructed City Attorney Harry A. English to re write the proposal to embrace tne two features recommended In the Initial version but subsequently de leted, '' Initial feo Last night's review of the much- discussed proposal was the first step to resubmitting It to tne cny commission for final action. The DroDOsal was first handed city commissioners by planners late lasti September. After several sessions and one heated Joint meeting wnn the planning commission, the city fathers cooed their criticism somewhat and suggested several changes before passing the propo sal back to its authors lor review. To review the proposal a com mittee was named by Pyzdrowski to be chairmaned by Planning Commissioner Melvin Munkers.- Reporting last night, Munkers nld his committee could "go along on every point" except the withdrawal of present Duuaings from the proposal and the striking of the section on industrial duiiq- Incys. Munkers said neitner ne nor n committee "could find any com mon i7 round of compromise" to Anna H. Wehner Dies at Age 95 Anna E. Wehner, 95, died Mon dav in Pendleton.

Police said the attack clicked like a wartime Commando raid. justify change in the planning commission's original recommen dation that both standing and fu ture buildings be included. ' Commenting on the same point, Commissioner Wilfred Jossy said he didn't see how the planning commission "could every justify" the deletions recommended by last year's commission. - r-: . Pyzdrowski said he thought ex clusion ' of standing buildings would weaken the ordinance by establishing a favored group of property owners. Of the deletion of off-street-parking regulations for industrial sites, Pyzdrowski said he thought .off-street-parklng essential to Indus tires with large staffs. . The city commission when con sidering the proposal last October viewed the industrial section as a possible deterrent to new industry. Possible Hardships The Inclusion of existing "build ings was thought by last year's commission as a possible hardship that might prevent or curtail the enlargement of those structures. Since the initial presentation ot 1 the proposal, the make-up of the city commission has changed con siderably, .three, ot last year's members replaced by fresh men bers relatively unfamiliar with de tails of the measure and with the bitter arguments that preceded last night's review. Planning Consultant J. Haslett Bell suggested that the planninz commission might want to hold a general meeting of down-town bus iness men to discuss features of the off-street parking regulation. r The proposal provides that bufldi.' lngs built or enlarged should pro vide parking space for residents or customers off the street In ac cordance with accepted parking ' formulas. Under terms of the proposal, commercial buildings with 2,500 . feet of floor space would be re quired to provide one off-street space and then another space for each additional 500 feet ot floor area. ..
