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.

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.

Easter Seals were mailed to ap

(iltl.EK THIEVES?
ATLANTA, Ga. (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.

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.

date from the people that would
tret him out from under the shadow
of his predecessor. Sir Winston
Churchill, cut short other smotirn

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.
