McCarthy today accused ! iiaroia c. btusscn ol "perjury in statements before the Senate Permanent Investigating Subcom mittee. The Wisconsin Republican de manded that the foreign aid chief's testimony be sent to the Justice Department for possible prosecu tion. Stassen just smiled at McCarthy. McCarthy said Stassen "lied un der oath" when he told the sub- committee that two subcommittee staff members in 1953 made trans- scripts when they conducted pre- liminary questioning of staff mem- wro lot me roreign operations ruiiiiuiiiaiiuii II i t ii aiasst'ii heads. Question Contract The flare-up came as the sub committee questioned Stas sen ubout his agency's handling of a contract for grain elevators in Pakistan with U.S. funds. Stassen had just told the sub- committee he will reject all bids on the disputed contract and start over again. It had been charged that the bid had been awarded to the highest of five biddei-s. When Stassen insisted that trans cripts were made of preliminary questioning during the subcom mittee's 1953 investigation of East West trade. McCarthy charged that Stassen "has just perjured himself ... No transcripts were made." . - "His case should be referred to the Justice Department even if he does hold the position he does." It was then that Stassen smiled. "It should be referred to the prand Jury for indictment," Mc Carthy later demanded. Stassen stood by his charges in a ' newspaper interview that the subcommittee staff members, Francis D. Flanagan and Robert F. Kennedy, made transcripts when they questioned his subor dinates in 1953. Flanagan was then subcommittee general counsel and Kennedy as assistant. Kennedy is now chief counsel. McCarthy accused Stassen of "smearing" Flanagan and Ken nedy and said they should be called to contradict his testimony. Chairman John L. McClellan ID Ark) said the dispute was a "corollary" issue, and refused for the time being to call the staff members named by McCarthy. Daley Captures Chicago Election By CMTKD PRESS Jubilant Democrats held on to their Chicago stronghold and claimed domination of the key state of Michigan today as a rpsult of spring elections The battle-tested Democratic "machine" ol Chicago rolled to a decisive victory Tuesday as it put party boss Richard J. Dnley in the mayor's office with a 127,199 majority. In Michigan, Democrats led in five of eight races for state offices. Recounts appeared likely in six of the contests, but party leaders hailed the Monday vote 'as the end of a 22-year GOP grip on state offices The victories boosted the pres tige of two of the nation's top Democrats 1952 presidential candidate Adlai E. Stevenson and Michigan's youthful Gov. G. Men nen Williams.

The "big baby" Missile, with a punch equivalent of perhaps 500C to 10,000 tons of TNT packed into its nose, was launched from an Air Force B47 jet bomber. It ex ploded in a giantic multi-colored burst above 30,000 feet amid smoke trails laid by six F8.6 Sabre jets. The Atomic Energy Commission and the Defense Department of ficially disclosed over a week ago that they would test this latest weapon in America's nuclear ar senal. The joint announcement said it was capable of destroying a fleet of bombers without a di rect hit, missing even by a half mile. Foreign Observers Some 24 official observers from Great Britain and Canada ob served the test under mutual ar rangements between the two coun tries and the U. S. government. Today's blast, 10th of the 1955 nuclear experiments, was trigger ed at 10 a.m. PST. It was the highest an atomic device has ever been known to have been exploded in the 42 test detonations in atomic history in side the United States, including the first at Alamagordo In 1945. It paralleled a previous high alti tude experiment last month wth a non-nuclear high explosive war head which burst amid a pattern of smoke trails used to measure its effectiveness and calibrate for today's blast. Wear Dark Glasses No ground troops took part in the test. Some 40 aircraft parti cipated, laying the smoke pat terns, photographing results of the blast and tracking radiation. Uncertain as to the effects of the flash at such a height, the AEC had warned watchers within a radius of 75 miles from the detonation to wear dark sunglass es or turn away at the scheduled blast time. The device's power was official ly rated by the AEC only as "limited yield," which veteran A bonib observers measured in the "baby" bomb class or perhaps slightly more powerful. To witnesses in Las Vegas, 75 airline miles from the detonation above Yucca Flat in the Nevada Proving Grounds, the flash with out glasses was a blinding three second one. They were in direct line of sight to this explosion whereas previous blasts have been shielded in the desert by an inter vening mountain range. Windows Rattle. The flash was described by these Las Vegas witnesses as a "pierc ing orange-white metallic color." Seven minutes after the blast, the shock wave quivered windows in the AEC building here for six seconds. No sound was heard however. The flash was swallowed almost immediately by a gigantic "smoke ring" cloud but the familiar mus room failed to develop. Instead, the cloud flattened out along the horizon, Twelve minutes after the deto- ; nation, the cloud appeared from .Las Vegas to have romplely 'dispersed. 1 27 years. diplomat Today the divorced diplomat rode. hat ess and handsome, ., ... . . , r..i. fender of the Faith, but to he charged by her with the highest office she can confer.

(Bend Bulletin Photo) Tri-County Unit Makes Plans for Pending the expected licensing of Salk polio vaccine by the fed eral government, the Tri-County Health Department is faced with the problem of making prepare Hons' for the immunization of some 2,000 first and second grade pupils, so the program can get under way immediately, when and if the green light is given. Preparations must be made has tily, because if the vaccine is li eeiised, it will be necessary to complete the immunizations before school is out. Three innoculations would be necessary to ensure protection. The second is eiven one week after the first and the third is given four week J after the second. A corps of volunteers is assist ing with preparations. Represen tatives of the local chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis are helping with paper work and other details. Camp Fire Girls and Blue Birds are being giv en an opportunity to do a public service by preparing cotton swubs. These will be sterilized later through the courtesy of St. Charles Memorial hospital. If the vaccine is not licensed, the program will be abandoned, and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis will continue research in an effort to find a suitable vaccine. If the go-ahead is given, the program will be en tirely voluntary. Parents must give their permission for innocu lation of first and second graders by filling out forms which were distributed by the health depart ment and the schools. Threr would be m charge for the mass vaccination in the first: and second grade age group. Vac- cine would be available to others from private physicians, but notj included In the cost-free program. 1 Parents of first and second graders who have not yet returned their request slips to the schools must do so immediately if thev wish to bive their children includ ed, Dr. J.

He spoke before tbe meeting of Wi-Hub club at Westminster hall Themas reviewed the limited psychiatric service we have had here over the past 10 years, with only diagnosis given and no follow-up treatment. The Tri-County Mental Health group has studied this problem for some years and concludes it best to work toward securing a psychiatric specialist to live and practice hi Central Oregon. Cost of his services spe- eilieally to the schools would be underwritten by each district, Eighty per cent of his time would be for his own private practice.

It was the second big robbery of the day. The Wixxlside branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank was held up less than an hour after three white-gloved bandits had invaded a downtown Manhattan Jewelry nrm and escaped wl.h Sio.tJOO m uncut diamonds and $2000 in cash The heavily armed bank bandits hei'ded 10 employes into the bank vault minutes ater the bank open ed its doors for business at 9 a.m. They escaped in a Ford aulo- mobile which was quickly lost in heavy commuter tratlic and was later recovered by police, The four had kidnaped the bank's chief clerk on hi? way to work and held him as a shield as they entered the bank, police said. The diamond theft took place shortly alter 8 a.m. in a downtown Manhattan building tenanted i.l nmst entirely by jewelry manu facturers. 1 hn 1' honorable Sir Anthony Eden, M.I I" . in audience and ollered him ine post oi i-nme .Minister antii . i . i .. ,u t ....... .ports itipon his appointment.

Selection of a suitable psychia trist, who would work also with physicians and. hospitals in the area, would be made by a screen ing board representing the schools, medical profession, clergymen and lay community. A cheek of school census for, Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties shows about 12,000 chil dren, based on October, 1954 cen sus. On this basis participation from school districts to the extent of 27 cents per census child would adequately finance the outlined program, it is believed. Some dis tricts have already budgeted for this item or indicated their inter est in it. Thomas also noted in his talk that ministers and family physi cians have done much and are do ing more constantly In acting as psychiatrists in their family coun seling services. It is a field whose value Is gradually receiving thej recognition it deserves, he felt. Thomas was introduced by Mrs. Leonard Downs, chairman for the social action and education com mittee. She also presented Cham ber of Commerce manager Ken neth Hodge who outlined Red mond's 10 objectives for 1955 in cluding industrial expansion, the Golden Anniversnry celebration, improvement of signs and access roads to sites of scenic impor tance, cooperation with the July region convention, and other mat ters. He also gave something of the history and functions of a Chamber of Commerce. UMBL'STKK' TYLER, Tex.

Senate Subcommittee Concludes Three-Day Hearing on Hells Bill PORTLAND (UP) Govs. Ar thur B. Langlie of Washington and Paul Patterson of Oregon today joined Gov. Robert Smylie of Idaho in opposing a bill to author ize federal construction of a hih dam at Hells Canyon on the Snake river. Both Republicans testified today before a Senate Interior subcom mittee which is winding up thiee days of hearings in the Pacific Northwest on a bill to authorize a high dam. Some 500 persons I attended the hearing at Portland State College auditorium, Smylie expressed his opposition at a hearing in Boise Mondny. Langlie said that "viewed from the standpoint of logical power development the high head dam appears to be a phoney." Money spent on a high dam, he said, would be a monument to govern ment error. Cites Figures The Washington governor cited figures to show that total plan investment of a high dam would be $397,800,000 compared to a total investment for three low - head dams, proposed by Idaho Power Com'pany of igl-million dollars. He the excess ot anmm, vallle i. fH,.i ,im 1 woul(, be $3i050i0oo compared to ,178flOi00O on the low dams. The average cost per kilowatt on the high head dam would be 4.35 mills compared to 1.98 mills on the low dams, he said. Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D- Ore.), acting as chairman today, and Sen. Henry Dworshak R-Ida.) got tnto an argument over whether witnesses could be cross exam ined. Dworshak said his under standing was that this would not be done so as many witnesses as possible could be heard. But Neu berger pointed out that Sen. James Murray (D-Mont.) had ruled at Pusco yesterday It was within the province of the committee to do so. ' Neuberger asked Langlie if the figures he had quoted came from private power company studies. Langlie said they came irom neither private or public studies. He said the state of Washington had its own engineers and was using its own figures. Nationalists Say China 'Capable Of Attack Now TAIPEI, Formosa (UP) Auth oritative Nationalist Chinese sources said today the Red Chin ese have the "capability" to attack Matsu or Quemoy islands immed iately. But the informants said they are confident a battle for air supremacy over the hormosa Strait will precede any major Communist assault. The sources said they felt that a Communist military campaign against Formosa and Its off shore island outposts will not he a sud den all out attack but rather a gradual buildup of military pres sure. In background interviews with high ranking authorities, the Unit ed Press was told: 1. The Communists will event ually attempt to take the offshore islands by force, probably moving against Matsu first. Theories that Moscow will restrain the Red Chinese are "absolutely wrong." 2. The Communists have had forces in position to attack Que moy for some time. They are now rapidly building up forces around Matsu. 3. The Nationalists at present hold absolute air and naval supre macy in the Formosa Strait. This was not the case at Tachen and Nanchi which the Nationalists nbandoned earlier this yea'-. 4 The offshore islands are val uable as a block to Communist coastal shipping and as radar wiuninff noints.

Nationalists from Tachen and Nan- chl. That was a gradual buildup of superior forces, gaining of air superiority and the eventual Isola- tion of the Islands. Patterson lints Reasons Patterson emphasized that he was not opposed to future de velopment of the Hells Canyon site but he believed other projects should come first. He listed them as the completion of the The Dalles and Giief Joseph dams on schedule and a start on the John Day dam. Patterson said there was no pro vision for assurance that if the dam were authorized, it would be constructed. We need power and we need it now," he said. The Oregon governor said the region needed 6,400,000 kilowatts of. power between now and 1964 to satisfy growing needs. He also said the bill would au thorize development of a single dam on the Snake river in the middle of an unresolved contro versy of whether a single dam or multiple dam is better. He cau tioned the committee against tak ing action on the bill until it gets a report from the Federal Power Commission on application from Idaho Power Company to build three low dams at Hells Canyon. Oregon Left Out Other reasons cited by Patter son against the bill were that it would reserve the bulk of the projects' production to a small segment of the northwest, leaving Oregon with a small share, and that it would divert some of the , power revenues into development of the Payette ot the Mountain Home reclamation project. Nouberger asked Patterson if'he ' also opposed proposals that some revenue of The Dalles dam be diverted" to the proposed Crooked river project in central Oregon. He said he was also opposed to that, since the projects were un related, Any revenue, he said, should go into genoral funds and then If Congress wanted to ap: proprlnte any moneys for other projects it could do so. About 100 witnesses were on hand,. The subcommittee gave each side half an hour to present views after the two governors talked. Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) also said he would make a statement later. - Among those scheduled to pre sent testimony favoring the high dam was James Murr, executive secretary of the Oregon State Fed eration of Labor. The Portland Chamber of Commerce and Rob ert W. Sawyer of Bend were among those with testimony against the bill. ' Drake Park Setting Due In Egg Hunt Start of the Lions' Easter egg hunt Sunday has been set for 2, p.m., in the south part of Drake park, it was announced by Put Metke and Ray LoBlanc, co chairman, at Tuesday's meeting of the Lions. Committee appointments were announced and final plans for the annual hunt were made. On Wed nesday night, 120 eggs will be cooked uder the supervision of Glenn Payne, at the Mldstate Meat Co. plant, and on Thursday night another committee, headed by Hill Ilealy, will color the eggs in quarters at the rear of the Bend Furniture Co. store. The start of the hunt has been advanced n bit this year to make it possible for church goers to g-t home after the morning services, then make ready for the trip to the park with their youngsters and their baskets.
