The Bond Bulletin, Thursday, April 21. 19S5 Lights in the Wallowa Blue lights are bouncing around mountain peaks again over in the northeastern part of the state. Earlier in the year they were reported in the Blue mountains, more recently they were spotted dancing around the Wallowas. The Wallowa Record has this to say about a weird light recently observed in the Wallowa foothills. "The object was a bright blue light, large, low and near. Roy Leverenx, of Lower Valley, saw it for several seconds, watched it drift slowly and disappear into the dusk . . . He could see the mountains beyond it, so he knew it must be with the valley ... He described the light as being about the size of an average room. It was round, somewhat oval in shape." That light was not only dancing around the timbered hills, but, as the story is told in Wallowa, it was emitting smnkfi. And a smaller blue light dropped off the bottom and glowed seperately for an instant. Ernest Snuffer of Diamond Prairie also saw a simi lar aerial object and notified a skywatch post, which in turn passed the information on to the Portland filter center. Those bouncing blue lights of the Wallowas should have expert attention, so we called in our star and meteor expert for a conference. Such lowly lights, with their back ground showing, are out of his province, we were assured. But our meteor man came up with an idea : "Why not get a trianguluation on one of those blue lights? Once its location had been pinpointed, the mystery possibly could bp solved." Odds are that a snow plow, its blue lights flashing on frost-covered trees, would be found in the vicinity. Wo are inclined to hold to this theory unless the lights are again seen in midsummer. Good Choice (Eugene Register-Guard) Newspapermen all over the Pacific Northwest were delighted last week to read that George S. Turnbull had won the Edith Knight Hill award for outstanding service to Oregon. Mr. Turnbull, an editorial writer in Albany for many years, was a professor of journalism at the Uni versity of Oregon. Just before retirement he was dean of the journalism school. A modest man who never presumed to have all the answers, Mr. Turnbull 'sought to instill that feeling of humility in generations of students. The fact was that he had many of the answers 'and was always able to throw more light on a dark subject. Of course, he would be the last one to admit that. Even today editors take an extra long look at the editorial columns of the Albany Democrat-Herald. They hope that the humble man with no pretenses of omni science will have given them something as he used to do on the campus. They are rarely disappointed. Near Miss . mum i i tfPW Problems of Distribution Primary Clement Attlee Cause of Lag in Vaccine Program Edson in Washington Watchmakers Continue Battle Quotable Quotes By I'KTKR EDSOV NK.V Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON (NEA) Tho flap over the Swiss watch case in Washington has now reached ut terly fantastic porportinns. Both tho American jeweled watch manufacturers and the im porters of Swiss movements are wearing injured airs of hih inor- il righteousness in Iheir full pane ads and press releases to injilie each other. But what this lias hoilcd down to is international cut thrual business competition. It is a lonu economic warfare that noes hack to the days whin wrist walehcs were invented, atvl tin- alert Swiss bouan to capture the American market. The last chapter hosem in July I'JM, aflcr a U. S. Office of IV fensc Mobilization commitlee lee ommended proleclion of the Amer ican jeweled wule.li industry skills as essential to American national defense. President Kiscnliowcr then approved increases of up to T0 per cent iu tariffs on Swiss walch movement iiiiuls. President Truman had once re fused to c,rant such an increase. St Hie Swiss importers immedia tely began a publicity countcral lai'k to upset the Eisenhower de cision. First move was to secure re lease of a YX.il Department of De fense report which declared that the American .leweled watch in dustry needed no "special nor preferential trealinonl." Ill 1!I.'1 the American jeweled watch in- luslry had produced a record tlmv million movements and seemed to be solidly on Ms feet. Hut by MM pnxlurtion had fail- en to 1.7 million movements. Tin prospects for V.Vto production were even lower. It was feared that Walthani. one of Hie four American producers which had been in trouble for years, minlit fold. The Wallham plant in Massa chusetts ami the Iftilova plants on Ijhik Island, N. Y., were also found to be ill potential liomh tat net ureas. On the basis of these findings, the ODM committee of Defense, Stale, Treasury, Commerce and Labor Department secretaries re viewed the situation. They recom mended that American jeweled ler, were both Now EnKlandcrs with an interest in Waltham. Just how much influence they had is shown by the fact that Sec retary Weeks had recommend .1 that the American walch industry production be kept at three mil lion units a year. He was voted down in the ODM commitlee and the figure was kept at two million. When Department of Commerce opened an exhibit of American Watch industry defense products, however, the Swiss industry spokesmen took it as another sign of discrimination against them. The six mouths that have elapsed since the tariffs on Swiss watches were raised have not pro vided a fair measure of the ef fects op American or Swiss watch industries. Hut the campaign mar ket with biller personal allack on American officials is an indication of the hiKh stakes in this inter national trade war. KDITOKS NOTE What's (he low dow n on the new polio vaccine? Is produc tion and distribution going as planned? How long may It be before the supply meets the de mand? Ill an effort to get the an swers to these and other per tinent questions on the new vaccine the United Press sur veyed all the drug companies that ant in production.

An appeal for persons to re spond to the Easter Seals they re ceived from the Oregon Society for Crippled Children and Adults has been issued by Nelson L. Ice land, county treasurer, who report ed that slate returns are more than $10,000 behind a year ago. Mr. Leland said there are many thousands of Oregon residents who have failed to make any return, and he expressed hoe that "a ma jority of them really intend to do something but just haven't gotten around to 11 as yet." Kolurns can be made to Easter Seals, care of I ho person's local post office. "The fact that Easter is now past doesn't make any difference," Inland said. "We hope that people will continue to use and buy Eas ter Seals so that the great work of the sociely can continue with out curtailment." Easter Seals were mailed to ap proximately '150.000 residents of Oregon and so far only a very small percentage of the people have responded, the records show.

(UP) Thieves broke into a Greek Orthodox By JACK HOUSTON I lilted Tress Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP) A survey of (he six drug companies producing (he Salk polio vaccine showed to day that only a trickle of the fluid would be available for commercial channels until Uie "no charge" program of the National Founda tion for Infantile Paralysis is com pleted. Even the foundation's program was lagging, but primarily it was a case of distribution not pro duction. The chief reason was the intensive scrutiny Which each batch of the vaccine must be given by government scientists to decid. if it is safe for public use. The survey of drug company of ficials showed that unless a child is between the ages of 6 and 10 the ages generally covered by the foundation program his chances of getting the anti - polio vaccine through commercial channels the next eight weeks are rather slim. Vaccine Shipments The foundation announced Tues day night thut five of the six com panies manufacturing Uie vaccine had shipped enough of it to provine first shots for 4.173,120 children. This is not quite half of the 9 million throughout the United States and its territories who are staled to get the two-shot, anti polio treatment at foundation ex- IKM1SC. The shipments went to 24 states the District of Columbia, Hawaii and Southern California. Most of the 1.173.120 cubic centimeters of vaccine (one CC represents one shot I went to southern slates, the foundation explained, because of the earlier incidence of polio and the earlier closing of schools in that area. Officials said they felt sure that vaccine for first shots for the rest of the !) million children and for second shots for all of them would be available by the original target dale, June 1. It depends on the speed with which the government certifies the product as to safely, purity and potency. Infinitesimal Amount It was disclosed that to date only ail infinitesimal amount of the vac cine had gone into commercial channels not enough, drug firm officials said, to form the basis for any profitable "black market." Mosl of the drug firms said thev firm officials said, was the strict tests which samples of each batch must undergo at the biologies con trol laboratory of the National In stitutes of Health in Washington. Eli Lilly Co. pointed out it had nine months' production on hand when the vaccine was approved for use by the government following release of the vaccine evaluation study April 12. It said each batch produced by the company durin that period had to be re-tested after April 12 and the results of those tests sent to the NaUonr-1 Institutes of Health (NIH) for its okay. Testing Period The company said it took from 21 to 28 days to re-test each batch and prepare the scientific dati which accompanied the test sample to the NIH. There, the sample and the written material comes under closest scrutiny by NIH scientists who approve it only if it meets federal standards as to safety, purity and potency. Manufacturers said the NIH at this time probably was "over whelmed" with a considerable number of samples, but they agreed that such cautious and minute checking was necessary to safeguard the public health. In Washington, an NIH spokes man said the government had not rejected any batches of Salk vac cine through Tuesday. Ho said that in a few eases final clearance of batches had been held up pending receipt of technical data required by law from the manufacturer, Another factor contributing to the shortage of the vaccine for a time was the lack of rhesus monkeys, whose kidneys are used in the production of the vaccine. But this shortage, caused by a government ban on export of monkeys from India, was only temporary and a sufficient supply of the animals now are at hand. The Indian government cancelled the ban only a few weeks ago. He Recorded Pleased Buyers PHILADELPHIA (UP) A North Philadelphia salesman re cently added a new gadget to his bag of tncks. Hank Linsky was impressed wilh the nice tilings his customers had to say about their newly installed gas house heaters.

Takes Command For Labor Fight LONDON (UP) Labor Party; leader Clement R. Attlee, wtio ; once defeated Winston Churchill, flew back from Canada today and took immediate command of the opposition campaign to oust Prime ; Minister Anthony Eden s Conser- vative government in the May 26 general elections. Attlee sped to a Labor Party . national executive conference im mediately after his plane touched down on an 8.000-mile dash back to Britain to hammer into line the divided socialist party's wavering tanks. ' Attlee, who bested Churchill in ; the 1945 elections, and the Labor , Party high command drafted stra- tegy at party headquarters, Trans- port House, for the campaign , against Churchill's "heir," Eden. ; Eden, who succeeded Churchill as prime minister only three weeks ; ago, today took over another of the elder statesman's posts. He ". was formally confirmed as party ' t chief at a closed-door caucus of Conservative leaders at Church ; House, Westminster. In the "common" fight against ! the Tories, Labor ranks which had ' split sharply by the clash between ' the moderate Attlee wing and the hate-America bloc led by Ancunn Bevan closed behind Attlee. Bevan was expelled from the -Labor Party in Parliament for his defiance of Attlee's leadership. But so great is the fiery Welshman's popularity with rank-and-filers, so cialist chieftains stopped short of expelling him outright from the party. Attlee said he would stump the country during the campaign and said he thought the Labor Party had a good chance of ousting . Eden. "It is going to be a good fight." he said. "We have a good chance of winning we arc always confident." AMlee lonned a full month off a scheduled six-week tour of Canada home following Eden'S call for general elections. He left Montreal Wednesday. Fden's decision to seek R man date from the people that would tret him out from under the shadow of his predecessor. Sir Winston Churchill, cut short other smotirn in foreign lands by Brilish politi cians. Labor Party deptily Leader Herbert Morrison hurried oaeK from West Germanv. Wednesday night, he said that Eden's election ea" "has all the characteristics of -a Tory central office maneuver." Churchill announced last week from his Sicily vacation hotel he will be home soon to give Eden advice and to fight for a bacK- bench seat of his own in the House of Commons. The party that wins a majority of seats in Commons will control Britain's government for the next five years. The campaign was expected to get moving in earnest with the end of the newspaper strike. Lon don morning newspapers were on the streets today for the first timo in 27 days. TO BE MOVED AT ONCE NEED SPACE 14x30 Building - Bedroom Bathroom with attached garage $350.00 cash.
