As a result. United will nnnlu to the Civil Aeronautics Board tor termination ol the Bend-Redmond stop. The application may be sub mitted as early as Friday of this week. . Casey Jones, Seattle, assistant to the United Air Lines president, and Richard Dorsey, Denver, Unit ed's manager of station oper ations, said the operation at the mid-Oregon stop has been uneco nomical for some time. . time. '- They said it appears that the present traffic potential of the area could be served better by feeder line carrier. ' United is applying to the CAB for elimination of the Bend-Redmond, Klamath Falls and Walla Walla stops. United also intends to present a motion that its request be consolidated for hearing with the current West Coast Airlines renewal case now before the CAB, In Seattle today, Hamilton Deas- ly, general manager of West Coast Airlines, when informed of Unit ed's move, said he expected his company would file application to have the three stops being dropped by United added to the West Coast's system. The company representatives who visited Bend this morning were scheduled to meet with Red mond civic officials and leaders late today. A conference with a local grouD was held this morn ing. The officials have already vis ited Walla Walla and Klamath Falls to announce United's decl slon. ,i More than a year ago, United planned to ask for termination of ; Hs Roberts Field service, and held ? several meetings to make this an nouncement.

H. Baldock, state highway engineer, said here yesterday that a proposed memo rial to Congress asking that U. S. highway 20 in Oregon be made part of the planned federal high way program was futile. The measure was tabled by the House Highways Committee. Baldock pointed out that High way 30 and Highway 99 already have been made part of the federal net of interregional highways and that the mileage limit in the fed eral program already has been reached. Though highway 20 extends from the Atlantic seaboard to the Ore gon coast in Lincoln county, Bal dock said its designation as part of the federal program woujd add more expense to the plan than Congress is likely to accept The committee also tabled a bill rega ding roadside rubbish when it discovered a law already on the books prohibits tossing refuse on highway rights-of-way. But mem-1 hers agreed there must be flaws in the enforcement procedure be cause Oregon highways are invari ably littered with rubbish. The committee gave its approv al to a bill that would permit passing on the right on multi laned highways and on one - way city streets of more than one lane. Baldock said many persons have violated the law in ignorance that it existed. House bill 94 was amended by the committee to enable any city to acquire its mass transportation svstems. The bill formerly had a floor of 300.000 population which would have made it apply only to Portland. Hospital Board Accepts Offer Special to The Bulletin REDMOND The board of Cen tral Orgon District hospital voted Tuesday afternoon at a special meeting to accent General Mo tors' offer of $7,500 in settlement of their suit for damages to the floor heating system. The board stopped all litigation and asked Portland attorneys and consultinp engineer to furnish itemized state ments of expenses to date. It is believed the district will have something over $6,000 to put Into the building fund after settlement.

(Bend Bulletin Photo) Curtailment Of Planning Project Due Some curtailment In the city's master plan project to hold it within the $5,000 budgeted this year was ordered 'by the city com mission last night.- : The curtailment came after City Manager Walter T; Thompson re ported that .most of the funds ap propriated for this year have been expended. . He said that planning Consultant J. Haslett Bell would either have to limit the number of working trips to Bend or additional funds would have to be found. The commission authorized Thompson to ask Bell to reduce the number of his trips through the remainder of the fiscal period, ending in June. For Technician Thompson reported that ot the $5,000 earmarked for planning this year, most is reserved for the sal ary of the full-time planning tech nician, Warren Sutliff. Ho said that currently about $500 remains for other purposes in the planning fund, including payment of Bell, who works on a per diem basis. Bell has been visiting here monthly to gather details for the several major reports planned and to lay out work-schedules lor the planning technician. Bell Is paid $60 a day, plus ex penses. . Bell, after being Informed this morning, said he thought a cut back in the number of his trips would interfere somewhat with Dlanhing work currently under way, but would not constitute "a maior curtailment. The Portland planning consultant is currently writing a detailed sur vey of the character and resources of the community. Thompson said that some tunas could be appropriated from the city's emergency fund to runner finance the project this year. Figures given He said that at the moment there is about $2,000 in the plan ning fund, of which $1625 is re served for Sutllfl s salary. Commissioner Vernon W. Lar son moved that the commission "try to hold Bell's trips to within the $500 left." .

Final Instructor, checks on Ensworth's Bend Commission Teletype Plan Okayed By HADLEY ROFF BuUetln Staff Writer Willingness to pay a monthly rental fee for the installation of a police teletype in the local police station was expressed by the city commission at its meeting last night. . The commission authorized Po lice Chief John T. Truett to relay its approval of an appropriations committee of the legislature cur rently considering a bill to extend the state's teletype system. Probable monthly rental fee for a teletype would be about $50, the chief advised. He said he intended to contact Sheriff F. C. Sholes to see if the county might be willing to share half the fee. The chief said that carbons of bulletins received on the teletype would be made ' available to the sheriff's office and the local state police detachment. The installation of a teletype, the chief said, would cut long dis tance telephone bills, now running about $50 monthly for the depart ment, and provide instant contact Driver Facing Homicide Count Complaint charging negligent homicide was sworn out yesterday against Frances LaMoin Dacus. Redmond, driver of one of two cars involved in the collision kill ing two persons - early Sunday morning on Highway 97. The complaint was signed by Antolin Flores, Sunnyside, Wash driver of the car in which the two perished. Flores signed the com plaint from his bed in the St Charles hospital. Dacus and a passenger in his car, William E. Lamborn have been dismissed from the local hos pital. Others still hospitalized are Flores' mother, Mrs. Basilin Flores, Sunnyside, Wash., and the wives of the two men earlier re leased. Killed instantly in the crash were Ramon R. Rodriqiies and Lazaro G. Resendez, both of Sunnyside. ' Water System Gets Top Rating Water Superintendent W. P. Drost and his suliordinntes were iven a complimentary pal on the 'lack In a letter read to the city commission last night from Har old M. Erickson, state health offi cer. Erickson reported that monthly lacteriologicnl tests made on the city's water supply found the sys tem "free from bacteriological quality." "This is an outstanding record and we wish to commend you and your staff for this accomplish ment," Erickson wrote. He concluded. "Such results re quire skillful and careful opera tion of the water system." The letter was addressed to the city manager. CENTRAL OREGON'S Bend. Deschutes County. Oregon. Thursday, February 17, 19S5 mastery of the lesson on bathing session ot the class will be next technique, as Mrs. Ensworth Meets: with law enforcement agencies around the. state. Already Equipped According to Turett, about sev en police offices around the state are equipped with teletypes. The bill now before the legislative committee would extend that serv ice to most communities in the state. . "'" The committee has Invited po lice authorities to a special hear ing on the proposed measure next Thursday at the capital in Salem Request that the chief be author ized to favor the bill was made at last night's meeting by City Man ager Walter T. Thompson. "There are a lot of reasons for such an installation," he said. "Not only will It save on long dis tance calls but will keep the de partment up to date on what goes on in the state." Police teletypes can both send and receive, the chief said. He said a teletype should reduce the department's monthly phone bill by half. A teletype would be just "as much an advance for the depart ment as two-way radio," the chief remarked. . Motion favoring installation was made by Commissioner W. M. Loy and seconded by Hap Taylor. It won unanimous approval. Other commission business: 1.

Warning Double By LYLE C, WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP)-Secretary of State John Foster Dulles' blunt wanting that Red China shall not shoot its way toward Formosa was equally a warning to the Western European Allies of the United States. Beyond that, It was a reassur ance to the American people that the military might and diplomatic efforts of this country would not ugain be hog-tied, handcuffed and sewed in a sack, as in the recent Korean War. Dulles spoke Wednesday night in New York before the Foreign Pol icy Association. He strongly ini' piled that the United States would fight if Red China sought to make the near-shore islands of Quemoy and Mutsu stepping stones toward the seizure of Formosa. II is con fidently expected that this firm position will be badly received by the Western European Allies of the United States. Western Europe is jittery with anxiety over a third world war. Us press and diplomacy alike are exerting great pressure on the United States to back down in the Far East. Dulles' speech was de liberate notice to Red China and Western Europe that the United Slatees would stand fast, There is an urgent hope In Washington that he Communists in control of China will not miscalculate the determi nation of this country. Bi-partisan Praise There was bipartisan congres sional agreement but in varying degrees that Dulles did a good job in letting the Communists know where this country stands, even though he did not spell out every detail. Chairman Walter F. George (D- Gal of the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee said Dulles .made U.S.' policy on Formosa "as clear as he could." Chairman Styles Bridges (NH) of the Senate Republican Policy Com- Major Speech Billed by Morse PORTLAND (UP) Sen. Wayne Morse scheduled a major speech here tonight amid speculation that he might disclose his 1956 political plans. Morse so far has not said wheth er he wfll run for eelection as a Democrat next year although he now sits on the Democratic side of the Senate and voted with the Democrats to give them control of the body. - : , Morse was to speak before the Multnomah county Democratic Central Committee at 8 p.m. and over a radio station (KEX) at 8:30. Jack Travis, secretary of the Friends of Wayne Morse Commit tee in charge of the broadcast, said it would be carried through out the state. . ' (Bend's KBND reported that the speech will be carried as a trans cription at 9:15 p.m.) A recent exchange, of telegrams between Morse and Howard Mor gan, state Democratic chairman, added fuel to the speculation. Mor gan earlier this week telegraphed Morse commending him for a "public service" In his speeches on the Formosa treaty and the "fight - if - necessary Formosa resolution. Morse opposed both the treaty and resolution while most Demo crats supported them. The Oregon senator replied to Morgan that he was "deeply moved" by Morgan's wire. "I am perfectly willing to let time and future events' be the judges of my record on tins issue," he said. These four foreign students, all Fourteen Pages mlttee said the speech "clearly In dicates our intention to assist in the defense of Quemoy and he Matsus if they should be attacked as stepping stones for an invasion. But there was much more In Dulles' speech than a show of willingness to fight if necessary. The speech may prove to be one of the most significant In Dulles' . SECRETARY DULLES Most Important Address? Commission Sets Special Session The city commission was sched uled to meet in special session late, this afternoon to consider the opening ot a platted alley from Kansas street to the proposed site of the filler center, next to the library. Apparently army engineers in sist that alley access be provided to the center. Majority of the lots abutting the projected alley are owned. by the school district, which would pay the major cost ot the improve ment.. ' , . '' Owner-of the site picked, for the center is Dr. J, M. McCarthy, who reportedly has offered to pay all But $1,000 of the project, that sum to be shouldered by the school district. The commission, meeting last night, set today's meeting so members could consult with school officials and persons interested in developing the now vacant lot be tween the school superintendent's office and the library for the filter center. City Manager Walter T. Thomp son reported that school officials are reluctant to initiate an im provement petition, usual step In arranging a pavement project. The school board, according to Thompson, would rather the city Initiate the Improvement proeeed- ngs. . Cost of -the alley project has been estimated at about $2100. Consid erable rock Is reported located along the plunned alley course. , Snow Reported Near Mt. Hood Heavy snow was falling along the Government Camp section of the Mt. Hood route Into Portland early this morning, with a two inch pack measured for the night. On other passes over the Oregon Cascades, conditions were good this morning, but motorists were cautioned to carry chains. Three inches of snow fell at Warm Springs junction in the night hours. Only light snow fell on the San tiam divide. last night, and the 24 hour fall was listed as a mere trace. There was packed snow on the pass section of that highway. Only a trace of snow fell on the Willamette divide in the night seniors and in this country on ex jj. High and Low . r Max. yesterday. 40 degrees. Min. last night. 22 degrees. Sunset today. 5:37. Sunrise .tomorrow, 7:00. No. 62 - Edged State Department career. Under careful analysis, the speech proved to be more conciliatory than other- . wise. Here are some major points: 1. The United States' prime ob jective Is a peaceful settlement and stability in the Far East. " 2. There was a strong hint that Red China might, In the end, gain control of the near-shore islands by peaceful negotiation. 3. The United States is not pledged to defend the near-shore islands but is pledged to defend Formosa and the Pescadores. 4. The "massive retaliation" con cept of meeting Communist ag gression which Dulles sponsored a year ago apparently is dead. 5. The speech left the United States in a position of inviting fur problem on any reasonable basis. Wants Peaceful Solution The key reference to negotiation in Dulles' speech was this: "It Is ' hardly to be expected that the Communist Chinese will renounce their ambitions (to seize Formosa). However, might they not renounce - their efforts to realize their goals by force?" . Dulles added that the United States was wholly committed to "assure that Formosa and the Pescadores will not be forcibly taken' over by the Chinese Com The overall effect of the speech was to notify all concerned that the United States would chart Its own course In the Far East while striving by all means through the United Nations to obtain a peace ful solution. This position is in di rect contrast with tha during he Korean War on which the record now is about complete. Most ot Dulles speech was de Voted to Far Eastern problems, but he referred briefly to the "extraor dinary demonstration of despotic . disarray seen recently in Moscow. Dulles said the full significance ot the shakeup In the Kremlin hierarchy "is still obscure" and "perhaps the last act ot the drama has not yet been played." .,..., "Undoubtedly, we spe an ele mental, personal struggle for : power," he said. Swiss Seeking Two Anti-Reds BERN. Switzerland (UP)-Switz- crland sealed its borders today to prevent the flight of two Roman-' ian anti-Communists who slipped away from the Romanian legation while their four companions held . it for 40 hours. The tiny nation shrugged off for the moment blasts from Moscow ' Radio charging that U.S. intelli gence agents organized the success ful raid and that the Swiss were "negligent" in protecting the rep resentatives of Communist Roman ia. However Switzerland ordered a , "discreet" plainclothes guard of all Iron curtain diplomatic mission after two sharp protests from Ro mania and the propaganda blast from Moscow. The Communist staff headed by Charge d'affaires Emeric Stoffel,; was busy repairing damage to the building and contents. Stoffel said he would invite the press in for a look as soon as police finish taking pictures of the damage. Excellent Taiite 1 Capt. Herbert Alboth, official po lice spokesman, said the anti-Communists smashed the legation files ind tore up communist propaganda ind books but left valuables in tact "They showed excellent taste." A total of six Romanians were reported Involved in the attack. Three surrendered yesterday and a fourth gave himself up earlier. Two other men managed to slip iway in the darkness. Swiss police irdered a nationwide alert and varned they faced gruelling hard ships and danger if they try to :ross the snowy, sub-freezing moun aln passes linking Switzerland to ither countries.
