CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 52nd Year One Section Bend, Deschutes County. Oregon Wednesday, April 20, 1955 Eight Pages No. 114 JiL i.iTA. lm rft China's Chou Delays Talks On Formosa By GENE SYMONDS United Press Staff Correspondent BANDUNG, Idonesia (UP) Chi nese Communist Premier Chou Kn Lai forced today a postponement of an eight-nation meeting called to seek an end to the Fonnosa crisis that threatens war in the Far East. The Colombo powers India, Burma, Pakistan, Ceylon and In donesia announced an indefinite postponement after Chou's tactics twice halted work of the Afro Asian conference's vital political committee. Chou Rejects Definition First Chou refused to accept the United Nations definition of "hu man rights' in a scheduled dis cussion of that topic and the con ference was forced to set up a subcommittee to wjrk out another definition. Then he brought up a technical point of procedure in the parlia mentary arrangements for the poli tical committee. He relented later on this point but not on the first. Some conference quarters believe the momentous Formosa talks were delayed because Communist China did not want to discuss spe cific issues, but one chief delegate said it was only a case of "com munist tactics." The afternoon session of thepoli tical committee was delayed past its starting time while Chou held urgent talks with V. K. Krsihna Motion, India's representative In the United Nations. No Explanation There was no explanation of the talks which came at a tense mo ment of the conference with the Formosan crisis still up in the air, but speculation was India was try ing to get the talks started. With the Formosan crisis tem porarily sidetracked, the five Co lombo powers invited Communist China and Turkey to help solve the current crisis in the Middle East between the Arab states and Israel. Reliable sources said the Colom bo powers, who sponsored the Bandung conference, were trying to arrange secret talks to block the Arabs' angry conference stand against Israel. The human rights discussions in cluded the subject of Palestine, and Arab states were seeking to win passage of a resolution con demning Israel for aggression and genocide, or extermination of a ra cial group. A number of Asian nations was reported opposed.

Mrs. Hinds, who at present heads the local GOC unit, recently attended a training course at Tyndall Air Force base in Florida, in prepara tion for the work she is to do here. Capt. Frary said work on the filter center building in Bend is coming along nicely, with June 1 set as the target day for occu pancy of the building, being erect ed by Dr. John M. McCarthy. No date for the activation of the center, to serve all of eastern Oregon except Malheur county, has yet been set. Maj. George J.

This was the caution issued by first Lt. Jack F. Pierce, com pany commander, today in report ing that Co. I is prepared for the alert that will mobilize army and air guardsmen across the nation, with some -100.000 men to be cal led into action. "When the alert comes, residents of the community wi'l see the guardsmen mobilized quickly, to cany out the duties assigned to them", Lt. Pierce said. The alart will come when Maj. Gen. Thomas E. Rilea. sends no tice to Sgt. Ralph Graham at the Bend armory. He will immedia tely, transmit the word to Lt. Pierce, who will pass the alert on to his officers. They in turn will get in touch with men in charge of platoons. It is expected Hint the 82 men and five officers will swing into ac- tion in a matter of minutes. In For Double Shifting Plan Given Under plans considered for the easing of overcrowding in the schools until Die new plant is open ed, only one offers opportunity for moving students into the pi'-i-Dosed million dollar high school is soon as the last nail is driven, '-cording to school administrators.

Bend guardsmen, it is expected, will be assigned to guard vital lo cal points, such as the reservoirs and power plant, and will also place road blocks on highways leading into town. Purpose of the alert will be to provide training for the guardsmen in an emergency. Time and date of the test, to be known as "Operation Minute man", will be kept secret until just before the alarm is sounded, Lt. Pierce said.

Moisture content of the night fall was .16 of an inch. The Apiil snow quickly disappeared in the morning hours. Snow continued to fall along the Oregon Cascades this morning, with plows operating over all pass es. Heaviest fall was reported from the Santiam divide, where six incites of snow fell last night. Roadside depth there was 153 inches. Two inches of new snow wps reported from Government cam?, where the total depth at roadside was 1.18 inches. Six inches was measured at the Willamette di vide, and the roadside depth was 111 inches. Motorists crossing any of the Cascades' passes or driving over U.S. 97 in the Chemult area wore advised to carry chains. The storm was general and reached east to Burns, where a two-inch fall was added to the old pack. Highlands in the mid- Oregon range country were white through most of the day. Free Vaccine Demand Gets Wide Support WASHINGTON (UP) Demands mounted today for a federal pro gram of free polio vaccinations for tpeicatin's childjen. Big labor unions are putting on most of the heat. Without free Salk shots, they say, many youngsters may be defenseless against polio this year simply because they are poor. The American Medical Associa tion quickly differed. It argued that physicians must be allowed to vaccinate their pateients and charge a fee, if they wish. But it insists no child will go unprotected for lack of money. The issue has stirred considerable behind-the-scenes debate in health circles. It is almost certain to come up Friday at the White House conference on ways to as sure fair distribution of Salk vac cine. Sen. Irving M. Ives (R-NY) strongly recommended in fact that the conferees thoroughly explore all the advantages and disadvan tages of a free program. "There are grounds for concern as to whether every child will get equal treatment," he told a report er. "The cost and the mechanical problems of a free program cer tainly should be studied to see if it is possible from a practical view point." Several congressmen already have introduced bills that would clear the way for a free vaccina tion program. Labor added its big voice in statements Tuesday from CIO President Walter M. Reutlier and AFL President George Meany. Meany called for the appropria tion of federal funds he didn't say how much to buy "substan tial" quantities of vaccine for dis tribution through public health rather than regular commercial and private physician channels. Reuther said the government should see to it that no child Is denied vaccine because of doctors fees, poor economic conditions, col or or creed. He also favored free program. Under the junior high program seventh graders would be moved ri- l.:..u l 1 1 iu.-;.. into the high school and their programs consequently enriched because of the wider range of subjects available, Jewell points out. Interest of students in their early teens can be more clearly spot lighted under a Junior high pro- gram than by mixing students i that age bracket with older youtn or with elementary pupils, schml executives say With the senior and junior hi,;h separated into Independent student the new plant would be consider bodles but housed temporarily in ably advanced over this year'j. the same building, Uie transfer to First buses to pick up senior high the new plant should be relatively: students probably will leave tfte easy. i school on their trips at 6 a.m., At least, Jewell and high school Jewell advise. Jac n n k n BITISG foreign Aid Plans Offered By President WASHINGTON I UP) President Eisenhower asked Congress todav to approve a $3,530,000,000 foreign aid program to "meet the grim essentials of security" and to strengthen the defenses of friendlv Asian nations against Communism. I lie President sent his proposed program to congress as a 3000 word special message urging the House and Senate to approve the expenditure as "an indispensab'e part of a realistic and enlightened national policy." It came strategically at the height of the Afi-o-Asian confer ence in session at Bandung, Indo nesia. The chief executives message provided no dollar breakdown for Asian aid. That undoubtedly will come, later during congressional hearings on the legislation. Asia Aid Foremost But Foreign Aid Chief Harold E. Stassen previously had dis closed that the biggest share, $2,- 140,500,000, would be earmarked for "the arc of free Asia," the group of neutral or pro-Western nations around the periphery of Red China from Afghanistan to South Korea. Stassen said the total Asian fund would include 915 millions for econ omic and technical aid programs to raise living standards compared to $-185,200,000 for that purpose Hie current fiscal year, ; Military aid for free Asia would total $1,225,500,000, compared to $820,700,000 this year. The president's overall mutual security requests for fiscal 1956 were about 150 millions below last year. In his message, Mr. Eisenhower emphasized that: 1. The immediate threat to world peace is centered in Asia. 2. Enduring peace in the world will come only after the "spiritual aspirations of mankind" are real ized. This, he said, would be a long term process requiring "pa tience, resourcefulness ana eauca tion." Mllltatv Assistance 3. The United States must bear "substantial costs" of maintaining Ihe Chinese Nationalist forces on Formosa. 4. His urotrram "reflects the greatly improved conditions in Eu rope and provides fon the critical needs of Asia. It encourages pri vate overseas investment and pri vate enterprise abroad, fosters an increase in cooperative effort, em phasizes loans rather than grants wherever possible. FAIR NOT SUNNY ATLANTA (UP) Rookie weatherman in Atlanta arc taught to use the word "fair" instead f t "sunny" in their forecasts. To show why, the old hands drnu out a summary from a Raleigh N.C., forecaster who preferred "sunny" to "fair." The forecast read: "North Car a olina sunny today, tonight and tomorrow." principal J. Russ Aclieson point , out, the move will be easier than j if along with Ihe transfer of the senior high students to the east, side, seventh graders had to be. moved to Ihe present high school ficultles which would set back the 0(.cunan,, i thp n(W n'ant all .

(Bend Bulletin Photo) Plans for Board to Handle Psychiatric Program Made Plans for a board to administer psychiatric services In Hie Central Oregon area were crystalized Monday night by the Tri-Councy menial health committe at a meet ing In the John Tuck school,, in Redmond. Provision was made for an ad ministrative board of 12 to 15 mem bers from local government and service agencies, according to Bend youth counselor George J. Turner, who presided. Turner said according to plans set at the meeting the board would be made up of representatives of juvenile courts, welfare agencies, school systems, medical associa tions and ministerial unions 1 n Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties.

The administrative board would work with the Tri-County health department in providing psychia tric care for youngsters consid ered needing treatment. The Tri-Counly health depart ment would provide funds to match those appropriated by school boards to pay the psychiatrist for the time spent in local schools. At the meeting were Dr. and Mrs. John Waterman of the state department of health. He Is head of tho mental health division of the department. She Is a case worker with the division. Dr. J. H.

Chambers, haggard aft er an all-night drive from southern , California, voluntarily surrendered himself at the Bend police station shortly before 5 this morning. Wanted to answer embezzlement charges, the former secretary and business agent of Local 6-7 of tho International Woodworkers ot America waived preliminary hear ing when , he appeared in local justice court shortly before 11 a.m. Following his appearance in jus tice court, he agreed to waive in dictment and requested District Attorney George F.

Rakestraw reported after a lengthy conference with Chambers held before the justice court ap pearance inai unamoers saia ne had been in southern California near Los Angeles. Other details of the almost 45 minute conference held in the dis trict attorney's office were not re vealed.
