Indonesian authorities scaled the
airfields here and at Djakarta
with heavily armed soldiers today
and barred American diplomats in
an effort to prevent any "assassin

Ohou En-Lai.

on Nehru's plane, the Himalayan
Princess.
Extra security precautions were
out in force when Chou landed at
Singapore, and the airport there
also was sealed off by police.
Airport officials said Chou's
chartered Douglas Skymaster land
ed because it was not pressurized
and could not fly above the had

to fly over the storm.
The extra precautions were tak
en after Peiping accused the Unit

aside from the repainting ot the
interior about 20 years ago, have
been drawn. Bids for the work
will be asked.
Installation of special plastering
in the church will be undertaken

The renovation will also provide
public address system outlets,
providing if such a system proves!
advisable at some future date.
Interior work calls for a majorl
change in the doors lending to

1 J. S. Opposing
Treaty Proposal
WASHINGTON (UP) The
United States is opposed to any
Russian move to write provisions
into an Austrian treaty forbidding
that nation to join military al
liances or give bases to foreign
powers, officials said today.
American opposition to any lim
itations on Austria's independence
and sovereignty was made clear to
the Russians at the 1954 Big Four
foreign ministers conference on
Austria and Germany.
But possible new Russian efforts
'o impose such limitations in an ap
parent effort to control Austria's
military future have been reported
from Soviet - Austrian treaty talks
n Moscow. A joint communique
from the talks said that Austria;
"tad given assurances it did notj
menu to join military alliances
"or to tolerate military bases on
ts territory-"
Official s said they hoped ad
ditional information from Moscow
or Vienna would clear up whether
the Reds would be satisfied with
such a general pledge, or whether
they would Insist such guarantees
be written Into the treaty. Some
authorities were of the opinion
that the Soviets would want formal
estrictions in a final pact.

Rainstorms Hit
Northern Areas
By UNITED PRESS
Rainstorms hit both northern
corners of the nation today, while
dust continued to plague Colorado,
The rain was concentrated in the
northeast and the Pacific north
west, but parts of Florida also had
their April showers. At Vero Beach
more than an Inch of rain fell.
Blowing dust was still rampant
over sections of Colorado, and
more was In store for the state. It
was felt most In southeastern Colo
rado, but weathermen said It
would travel to eastern Colorado
and northern New Mexico.
The central plains had sunny,
spring-like weather, but It was
colder over the Great Lakes and
the northern areas of the plains
states. The hottest point in the
nation was Presidio, Tex. with 98
degrees. The rest ot Texas had
temperatures of above 80, and the
mercury reached into the 90's In
areas ot Kansas and Uklanoma.
The southeastern part of the
nation and the far southwest also
had warm weather.
Most of the snow had disap
peared from the ground throughout
the country, and only Caribou,
Me., in the eastern U.S. reported a
snow cover. There were still three
inches there. However, snow was
deep in some of the western moun

Solons Approve
Bill to Limit
Liability in Libel
By W1L1AM WARREN
United Press Stuff Correspondent
SALEM (UP)-The Oregon Sen
ate voted 20 to 8 late yesterday
in favor of House bill 434 which
limits the liability of inadvertent
or accidental libel in suits filed
against newspapers. ' radio and
television stations. The bill now
goes to the governor.
An attack on the constitutional
ity of provisions in the bill was
led by Sen. Carl Francis. He cited
court decisions In other stutes
where similar provisions had been
adopted and said the courts had
held tliat any limit of liability was
unconstitutional.
But Sen. Paul Geddes said the
Issue had never been passed upon
by the Oregon Supreme Court or
the United States Supreme Court,
and added:
"We must pass a bill into law
before the courts can rule on it
It is a moot question now. I would
not know this minute, were I a
member of the Supreme Court
how I would rule. But I believe
that we should pass the bill and
thus give an opportunity for the
courts to deal with it.
Sweetland Switches
An attempt to re-refer the bill
to the Senate Judiciary Committee
was defeated 17 to 11, Two mem
bers were excused.
Sen. Joseph K. Carson Jr. said
he had to vote aguinst the bill be
cause he felt its provisions vio
lated the 14th amendment of the
federal constitution.
Sen. Monroe Sweetland who wns
one of the sponsors of the bill
voted first to refer it although sev
eral members expressed fear such
referral would mean the burial ol
the bill. And when the rollcall was
taken on the bill Itself, he voted
against his own measure. He said
he did so because he felt it had
been shown that the bill would be
Cancer Session
Opens in S.F.
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) The
American Association for Cancer
Research opened a three day meet
ing here yesterday with more than
500 scientists in attendance.
Dr. Ludwik Gross, of the Vet
erans Administration Hospital In
New York City, told the group yes
terday that new questions about
the origins of cancer have been
raised as a result ot experiments
demonstrating that extracts of
healthy animal tissue can cause
cancer.
He said extracts from the origins
of ordinarily cancer free mice
were Injected into the other can
cer free mice. Ot 235 mice so in
Jected, 19 developed cancer of the
salivary glands.
Gross said the liquid could have
contained only a virus of some
other similar agent as the cancer
initiator because special process
ing destroyed or removed any
microbes or Intact tissue cells.
The mysterous substance In Dr
Gross' experiments remains to
be identitied.
His paper was typical of many
others in one respect: While much
basic knowledge about cancer Is
being accumulated, there is no op
timism voiced among scientific cir
cles that a cure "is just around
the corner.

Gladstone Man
Offers Low Bid
Construction bids received by
the state highway commission at
its meeting in Portland this week
included one calling for the grad
ing and oiling of the Houston lake
Powell Butte section ot the Hous
ton lake road in Crook county, a
federal aid project.
The low bid for this 2.71 mill
job was J39.823.50, submitted b'
P. C. Knox of Gladstone. The blf
was referred to the state highwa;
englnccj and Crook county for tin
aJ award.
No. 112
held unconstitutional and would
not therefore give the relief sought
y the newspapers and by radio
:md television stations. Sweetland
niblishes a weekly newspaper in
Milwaukie.
Sen. Lowell Steen said he was
a farmer, not a lawyer, but he
tad seen the effects of some of
these libel suits following uninten
tional errors and urged passage of
the bill to give the courts an op
portunity to rule on it.
Holnu-kDcfeiulH It
The bill was carried on the floor
by Sen. Robert D. Holmes, himself
an operator of a radio station. He
stressed that if . the bill became
law, persons Injured by intentional
libel or defamation would have the
same rights he has now to recover
damages. It would only prevent,
he said, collection of special dam
ages In case of inadvertent error.
Any actual or general damages
caused by the unintentional libel
could be recovered.
Sen. Holmes expressed resent
ment against an implication he
said came from some of the oppos-.
ing senator-lawyers that the com
mittee on state and federal affairs
had not properly considered the I
bill. He said hearings had been
held and attorneys appearing be
fore the committee had disagreed
in their opinions as to whether it
was constitutional or not.
Senators voting for the bill were
Allen, Belton, Bingner, Boivln,
Chase, Geddes, Hardie, Hatfield,
Holmes, Hounsell, Johnson, Leth,
Lonergan, McMinimee, Merrltield,
