Afro-Asian
Session Opens
In Indonesia
By GKNE SYMONDS
United Press Stuff CjrresHndcnt
BANDUNG, Indonesia (UP)
munisi China passed up a chance
today to use the forum of the
29-nation Afro Asian conference
for propaganda purposes, and il
appeared lie had turned to a "soft
line" to win support for Peiping.
The uonference opened with
speeches by President Sukarno
and Foreign .Minister Ali Sastroa
midjojo of Indonesia. It adopted
a broad, five point conference
agenda and then reversed itself
on an earlier ruling and decided
to let delegation chiefs speak.
Free Viet Nam distributed in
appeal to the nations attending the
conference to help its people in
the north flee the Communists
"dictatorial regime."
He's All Smiles
Chou ignored Viet Nam's
charges that Red China had inter
fered in Indochina and turned
down his opportunity to speak
before the assembled delegates
when his nation's turn came on
the alphabetical order of speak
ing arrangements.
Diplomatic sources had specu
lated before the conference began
he might try to win support for
his policies by impeccable be
havior. Today he was all smiles.
Just before the speeches started
Sastroamidjojo announced a five
point agenda of economic coopera
tion, the problem of dependent
people and international peace and
cooperation.
Atomic Energy
The last item set the stage for
discussions of the peaceful uses
of atomic energy. Jordan's Foreign
Minister Walid Salah, speaking for
the Arab bloc, said he accepted
the agenda with the understanding
Palestine could be discussed under
item one.
Viet Nam Delegate Nguyen Van
Thoai broke the opening day calm
with a direct attack on Commu
nism and asked the delegates :d
support an extension of the mid
May time, limit for those wishing
to flee to the free south.
Thoai's speech brought a sharp
note of realism into the proceed
ings as he spelled out the reason
why one million Viet namese have
fled their ancestral homes in (he
north.
His charges came nflcr miMer
speeches from President Sukarno
and Foreign Minister Ali Sastroam
idjojo of Indonesia who directed j
their criticism against colonialism
and racialism.
"Sukarno and Sastroamidjojo were
the only speakers when the confer
ence opened in a. former Dutch
colonial club Freedom Hall
in the mountain health resort of
Bandung.
Thoai Blasts Communism
Thoai said Communism "com
pletely disregnitls human values
and personality and the basic
rights of man."
More than one million Vietnam
ese are fleeing south "because
they cannot bear the increasing
burden of a so-called national gov
ernment, servile to a foreign ideol
ogy and a foreign people which
has several times in the course of
our national history demonstrad"d
its imoerialistic designs," he said. 1
Until Thoai's speech the confer
ence had been harmonious, marked
by the constant smile of Red Chi
nese Premier Chou En-Lai who
seemed for the moment to-be con
tent to listen.
Chou Suffers Setlmck
Chou already had suffered one
setback when the conference ad
hered to its rule that all resolu
tions adopted must be adopted un
animously. This meant Chou's
chances were small for geltine a
conference resolution anproving his
claim to Formosa or IVivng's ad
mission to the United Nations.
Chou. in a stalcmnt on his ar
rival, referred to the "sabotage"
of an Air India plane carrying i'.od
Chinese delegates here last week
and said "our conference is dU-lik-xi
by some people. Thev are
trvittg. by all means to sabotage
it.''
He was answered bv U S Ren.
Adam Clayton Powell (D NY)
here as an unofficial observer.
Powell charged Chou with trvinf
to "sow the seeds of distrust" at
fie conference and sn'd "anvone
who says the United Sltees wants
to sabotage this conference is a
liar."
After that exchange Chou be
came amiable and smiled frequently.

Vote Reversed
By State House
SALEM (UP) The House today
reversed itself and
approved by ;
one vote a Senate-passed bill that
would deny cities the right to levy
business taxes measured by gross
or net Jncomc.
The bill was brought back to
the floor for a new vote after it
was defeated April 11. It would
reserve to the state the right to
levy income taxes and was op
posed by cities who feared it
would unduly . restrict their right
to raise city revenue. Portland of
ficials had objected it would result
in a loss of more than a million
dollars a year in revenue they now
collect from the business tax.
P.ep. Pat Dooley (D-Portlandl.
speaking in favor of the bill, said
the effective date of July 1, 1957,
would give Portland ample; time
to revise its business tax ordi
nances to comply with the income
tax prohibition. He denied a claim
from Rep. Emil Stunz (DNyssal
that the bill would affect fran
chise taxes now levied on utilities
by many Oregon cities.
Final vote on the measure was
31 to 29.
The House also approved a con
f e r e n c e Committee report on
HouscBill 40. the recommended
change in the definition of true
cash value proposed by the in
terim tax study committee. The
bill was re-passed and sent to
the governor. Changes made in
the bill by the Senate included
setting the effective date in 19(31.
when the State Tax Commission
is due to have completed its prop
erty reappraisal program. It would
define true cash value for prop
erty taxation purposes as curcnt
niaket value.

HST Believes
U.N. Should
Study Crisis
By WAKKEN DUFFF.E
United Press Stuff Correspondent
WASHINGTON (UP) Former
President Truman today called on
the United States to bring "the
current threats to world peace"
before the U.N. General Assembly.
Mr. Truman, in his first appear
ance as a congressional witness
since he left the Senate more than
10 years ago, did not mention the
Formosa crisis by name in a pre
pared statement.
But he told a Senate Foreign
Relations Subcommittee that the
United Nations should be used in
order to make the world organi
zation work.
"Whenever we can, we should
use It," Mr. Truman said. "And we
should use it now by bringng be
fore the General Assembly the
current threats to world peace."
ISoeelves Ovutlon
However, he urged the United
States to go slow in demanding re
visions of the U.N. chater lest the
good provisions be damaged.
Chipper and smiling, Mr. Tru
man received a rousing ovation as
he returned to the big Senate Cau
cus Room where he first gained
national fame as chairman of the
Truman War Investigating Sub
committee. He recalled that he
had not been in the room since the
summer of 1944, when he resigned
to run for vice president.
Characteristically, he arrived 15
minutes ahead of schedule. He
chatted with old friends among the
reporters and photographers until
Chairman Walter F. George (D
flaT arrived.
"The present international situa
tion is worse than the one which
wrecked the League of Nations and
rendered it ineffective," Mr. Tru
man stated.
However, he said, the United
Nations has kept the world from
"unlimited international warfare"
since it was founded 10 years ago.
Aggression Discouraged
"Whatever Its weakness and dif
ficulties, the United Nations is a
power to be reckoned with, and no
aggressor can afford to ignore It,"
he said.
George said that It was "very
fitting" that Mr. Truman should
testify at the opening here on
recommendations for revising the
U.N. charter. He pointed out that
Mr. Truman presented the charter
to the Senate 10 years ago.
Mr. Truman said some changes
in the U.N. charter may be de
sirable, but he avoided a technical
discussion of possible amendments

Players Set
3rd Summer
Season Here
Paul E. Ouellette, director of,
Panorama Playhouse, in a visit t
Bend last week, completed plans
for the return of the Playhouse
during the 19.i5 summer season.
Ouellette informed The Bulletin
yesterday that t h e Playhouse
will open its doors July 5
and will play for an eight-week
period ending Aiz. 27.
During the eight-week period a
total of eight shows will be pro
duced, and the schedule revolves
around a weekly change of pro
duction. All plays will run Tues
day through Saturday in Allen
Auditorium with curtain time at
8:30 p.m.
This summer will mark the
third consecutive playing season
for the Panorama Playhouse
which first opened in Bend "In
June, 1953. The group will again
perform as a summer stock thea
ter, and the School of the Thea
ter, which was started in the sum
mer of 1954, will again operate In
conjunction with the Playhouse
Ouellette pointed out that the
Panorama Playhouse is Oregon's
only summer stock company and
that over the three-year period of
its operation Hie Playhouse will
have presented twenty-three pro
ductions for a totul of 144 per
formances. Because of the ab
sence of a professional theater or
of road companies in this section
of Oregon, the Panorama Play
house provides a kind of enter
tainment which would otherwise
be unavailable to large groups of
people.
The shows chosen for production
this summer include a wide van
ety ranging from farce to tragedy
and from comedy to melodrama
and have been selected to appeal
to as wide an audience as possi
ble. Season books will again be
available to patrons of the Play
house. Hungary Reds

BUDAPEST (UP) Ailing Imre
Nagy was dismissed as Premier
of Communist Hungary today and
succeeded by Andras Hegedues,

Nagy, who has been ill since
early winter with coronary throm
bosis, was not present at the ses
sion of Parliament.
Dobi told the house that Nagy
had carried out his duties as Pre
mier in an inefficient manner.
In addition to losing his post
as Premier, Nagy also was ex
nelled from all Communist party
functions including membership In
the Politburo and Central Com
mlttee.

Frail Little Physicist Dies
Quietly at Hospital in N.J.;
Work Led to
PRINCETON, N. J. (UP)-Dr.
Albert Einstein, 76, one of the
greatest physicists of all time,
died today at Princeton Hospital.
The frail little cosmic genius,
whose theory of relativity unlock
ed the door to the atomic age,
died quietly at 1:15 a.m. Six phy
sicians, including three socialists
from New York, were nt his side.
Dr. P. Guy Dean, Einstein's phy
sician, listed the cause of death
as "inflammation of the gall
bladder."
Einstein entered the hospital
secretly last Friday. News of his
death was withheld for nearly
seven hours. Miss M. Hull, direc
tor of nurses nt Princeton Hospi
tal, said Einstein's family "held
up the announcement."
Kosc From Obscurity
Einstein celebrated his 76th
birthday only last March 14. In
keeping with his habits of recent
years, he spent a quiet, retiring
day, secluded from newsmen and
photographers.
Einstein rose from obscurity as
a German factory owner's son
and a childhood marked by n
slowness to learn, and astounded
the 20th century with his genius.
Ills mathematical theories
changed the course of scientific
thinking. His theory of relativ
ity, showing time was relative to
height, length and breadth, first
brought him popular notice.
He labored for 40 years to find
the master key that might explain
the physical makeup and operation
of the universe. He believed the
universe was one continuous field,
like an endless stream, and gov
erned by unchangeable laws.
Stubborn Thinker
Ills latest efforts were devoted
to refinements on his latest the
ory on the interactions of cosmic
forces, first published in 1953.
A stubborn free thinker, he
clashed often and bitterly with
congressional Communist hunters.
He once advised a witness not to
cooperate with Sen. Joseph R. Mc
Carthy in a Senate subcommittee
hearing into Communist espion
age.
Einstein once denied a charge
by an avowed former Communist
before McCarthy's subcommittee
that he accepted money In 1915
from an organization later de
clared subversive.
He marked his 75th birthday by
calling on citizens of his adopted
country to defy "Inquisitions" into
their political affiliations.
For the past several years, Ein
stein worked, studied and calcu
lated an average of six to eight
hours a day in a secluded two-
room suite In a building at the
Princeton Institute for Advanced
Study.
The Institute, a series of small
buildings nestled among banks of
flowers along a peaceful country
side, provided a setting as might
befit a genius. Eighteen of the
world's foremost scientists, includ
ing Institute Director J. Robert
Oppenheimer, used the Institute
for research and study.
Hated Publicity
The Institute, which has no con-
nection with nearby Princeton
University, is located less thanj
two miles from Einstein's Prince-

ton home, which he shared wilh
his secretary-housekeeper. Miss
Helen Dukas.
His life in Princeton reflected
no change in the living habits he
learned as a boy in Germany.. He
made no concessions to fame, stub
bornly refusing to adapt himself to
his worldwide recognition. . .
He hated publicity. He avoided
personal interviews. Once he stuck
his tongue out at a photographer
snapping his picture.
He hate conformists, proudly
describing himself as an "incor
rigible non-conformist."
His disregard for money was al
most legendary. Once he was re
ported to have used a $1500 check
for a bookmark, and then lost the
book.
Einstein purposely avoided us
ing "unnecessary" words in his
conversation and never bothered
to cram known facts into his bril
liant mind. Once, dining- his first
visit to America from Germany
in 1921, he was asked whether he
knew the speed of sound.
T don't know," he replied. "I
don't crowd my memory with facts
that I can easily find in an en
cyclopedia." Backward In School
He never would have won a
"best dressed" award. His favor
ite outfit consisted of a mended
sweater, an open-neck shirt, an
old waistcoat, a pair of baggy
pants and dark shoes, without
socks.
His boyhood days were spent
in Munich, Germany, where his
family described him as almost
backward and his teachers com
plained on his slowness in learn
ing. He learned to talk so late
that his parents were visibly
upset.
He was born in a town called
Ulm on March 14, 1879. The fol
lowing year, his parents moved
to Munich, where his father set
up a small factory for electrical
supplies.
He lived a sheltered life and
revealed no special aptitude dur
ing his school studies. But at the
age of five the usually absent
minded child showed an unus'i?.!
interest in the workings of a com
pass his father gave him as a
present.
When he was 12, he gave his
parents another clue as to his
future vocation when he was giv
en a book on geometry. The book
utterly fascinated him. Afterward
he made rapid strides in his math
ematics courses but remained
backward in most other subjects.
Hard To I'mlcrstand
His schooling led him to various
jobs ranging from private tutor
to physics instructor to patent ex
aminer. He developed his relativ
ity theory while working as a
patent examiner In Berne, Swit
zerland, from 1902 to L909 and
later at the University of Berlin.
The theory, which even today
only a few persons understand,
actually had its birth when Ein
stein was a young man of 16. He
was fascinated at what might
happen If he were able to im-
i prison a ray of light.
It was the beginning of his
life's work.
