Plans Made
For Meeting
At 'Summit'
SAN FRANCISCO (UP)-Soviet
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov
apparently has agreed to a pro
posal that would let President Eis
enhower serve as chairman for ihe
lust meeting of next month's
"summit conference'' in Geneva,
it was disclosed today.
The proposal was one of sev
eral submitted to the Soviet for
eign ministers yesterday by the for
eign ministers of the Big Three
Western powers gathered in San
Francisco for the 10th anniversary
of the United Nations.
The Big Four foreign ministers
met last night to talk it over.
Sources close to the British and
American delegations said Molo
tov made no objection to the pro
posals, and indicated his govern
ment would find them acceptable.
Ease World Tension
According to these sources, the
proposals were:
1. The chief aim of the meeting
would be to prove an atmosphere
that would help lessen world ten
sions, rather than negotiate speci
fic problems.
.2. The Big Four chiefs of state
will preside over the sessions in
rotation. President Eisenhower
will be the first chairman, fol
lowed by French, British and Rus
sian chiefs of state.
3. The meeting should last four
to six days. The exact length must
be decided upon ahead of time.
4. The chiefs of state should
outline in their opening statements
what they consider to be the main
causes of world tension.
5. As the meetings progress, the
chiefs of state should suggest the
procedures to follow in negotiating
these problems.
6. After the Big Four chiefs of
state conclude their meeting, the
Big Four foreign ministers should
then take ouar.and continue as
.long as necessary.
Hear Molotov'a Vlw
Attending the meeting were Mol
otov, Secretary of State John Fos
ter Dulles, French Foreign Minis
ter Antoine Pinay and British For
eign Minister Harold MacMillan.
Earlier yesterday, Duties, Pinay
and MacMillan drew up a list of
proposals which they submitted
to Molotov. Last night's meeting
was called to hear the Russian's
views on them.
A source close to MacMillan
said Molotov was "perfectly rea
sonable" and merely asked time
to study them. However, an Amer
ican source quoted Molotov as say
ing there shold be "no difficulty.
Little River
Flow Drops
The flow of Little river, in the
upper Deschutes country, dropped
90 second feet, from 2o8 to a mea
ger 1G8, in four days this past
week, A. E. Perry, Deschutes wa
termaster, reported today.
This drop indicated a further
tightening of the flow of the Des
chutes as the crop season in Cen
tral Oregon counties nears its peak
for 1955. Perry noted that the
drop in the Deschutes flow comes
at a time when it was originally
expected that melt water from
heavy mountain snows would re
plenish tributaries.
Central Oregon, Lone Pine and
Arnold districts appear assured of
a sufficent direct flow to care
for their needs through the sea
son, but. Perry said, there is n
possibility that the North Unit will
face a water curtailment late in
the season.
The' North Unit at present is
drawing heavily on Its Wickiup
basin supply, its only source this
year, and the level of that
reservoir, capacity of which is
around 200.000 acre feet, was down
to l.'lO.fOO acre feet this morning

When Andreasen first brought a
plane down on the Deschutes in

because of a shortage of gasoline.
His efforts to take off on that oc
casion after filling his tanks was
blocked by officers, who feared he
might hit a power line. The plane,
with Us wings removed, was taken
by truck to the Tumalo reservoir,

on the Deschutes was planned,
and he brought here from Port
land street decorations for Bend's

bunting was erected last night,
and Andrea sen continued south to
Klamath Falls.
Piloting a high powered light
plane this time, Andreasen took
off from the mill pond withoiri
any trouble.
