McClellan said today the In vestigation of Air Force Secretary Harold E. Talbott's business con nection Is "still open" despite Talbott's offer to leave the firm. McClellan (D-Ark) said his Sen ate Investigating Subcommittee will meet soon to consider testi-j mony in which the dapper sec retary denied he used his Penta gon post to promote his busi ness. Talbott insisted he was "clean" but offered to give up his $60,000 ligan & Co., a New ork man ligan' & Co., a New York man agement engineering firm, if the subcommittee thought he should. Public Hearing The subcommittee speedily held an impromptu public hearing at Talbott's request after publication of photostats and excerpts from its files. The letters were from Talbott and dealt with Mulligan & Co.'s business. Talbott said he never used his official position to solicit business for the partnership, though he ad mitted he might have spoken to a number of his old friends, those he knew on a first name basis, among corporation executives about the clerical surveys Mulli gan & Co. conducts for large firms. Air Force General Counsel John A. Johnson refused to discuss with a reporter a portion of Talbott's testimony concerning him. Tal bott said he talked with Johnson about the refusal of tbe giant Radio Corporation of America to renew its Mulligan contract with out approval of the attorney gen eral. The secretary swore he had not violated the letter or spirit of his statement to the Senate Armed Services Committee In 1953. when he said he had divested himself of his other corporate connec tions in order to win confirma tion. He said he told Senators then that he would retain his int erest as a "special partner" in the Mulligan firm. Talbott told the committee he and his partner, Mulligan, agreed that if the firm ever served a client whose business was "pre-l dominantly" Air Force contracts, the profits would be segregated and Talbott would get no part cf them. But he said this agreement was never put into effect, because Mul ligan never considered that any of the firm's clients had enough Air Force business to warrant using it. Group Fired On In Buenos Aires BUENOS AIRES (UP) A jeep fut of Nationalists fired on a small group of demonstrators demanding freedom of the press and an end to the state of internal war Thurs day night. One'man was killed. The gun play occurred after the demonstrators held an assembly in a building of the Radical Party, which opposes President Juan D, Peron's government. The demonstrators listened to speeches demanding a repeal of the slate of internal war, which gives Peron special dictatorial powers. Peron promised to give up the powers in a speech last week. Following the assembly, about 100 Radicals began marching in the streets. They didn't get far before they were attacked by the Nationalists, a small political group that has been supporting Peron. Five shots were fired. One hit Al fredo Prat, 26, who died later in a clinic. The clash was the latest display of nervousness that h"S grippfd this cnoitJil rity since the blood v but short-lived navy - led revolt June 16.

Perry, Deschutes watermaster, shows a head of about 100 second feet of Crescent lake storage flowing into Crescent creek through a short canal that bypasses Crescent creek, where construction of new outlet works is under way. In the background is the fish screen at the head of Crescent creek, outlet to the lake. The new outlet works, not shown in this picture, are being constructed by the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation.- Diversion Dam Makes More Water Available Crescent lake storage, impound ed since early May when work started on the new dam and outlet works, was racing into the upper Deschutes from Crescent creek to day, and wll be increased td"250 second feet tomorrow morning. About 50 second feet of the re leased water will be 'lost in transit, A. E. Pony, Deschutes watermas ter reported today, and the remain ing 200 S. F. will be diverted equally to the Tumalo and North Unit projects at Bend. The increased head of water will reach Bend in about four and a half days. Release of Crescent lake water into Crescent creek, which has car ried only about five second feet since reconstruction of the dam was started, was made possible through a temporary diversion ca nal. It was into this short canal, which rejoins Crescent creek just below the dam, that the kke stor age was released. Water Is stored in Crescent lake for tfie Tumalo project, but the North Unit receives part of the present releases through a Wicki up reservoir exchange while con struction work was under way. - The amount of water turned into the by-path canal yesterday eve ning was about 103 second feet.

BULLET DAILY NEWSPAPER Red Bold Poor Choice For Red Farm AMES, Iowa (UP) A top gov- eminent Interpreter sped here to day following assertions that the State Department had bungled by assigning incompetent translators visiting Soviet farm delega tion. The assertions were made heiv by disgruntled government - as sociated officials who said the pre sent interpreters are not adequate ly getting Ihe "American story" through to the J2-man Russian group. The officials revealed they have sent at least two sharply-worded telegrams to the State and Agri culture departments asking for manpower and technical equip ment to break the language bar rier. The new translator, Eugene V. Serobrennikuv, an employe in the Library of Congress, was dis patched by plane from Washing ton today to assist in the trans lation of technical agricultural terms. Difficult To Communicate Freely C. R. Elder, Iowa State College extension director who is guiding the Russians around the tall-corn stute, said "We have found It dif ficult to communicate freely with: he Russians as we would havej liked." He aid the interpreters seem to be fluent in converting Russian to! English but have difficulty trans lating English into Kussian, espec ially in technical matters. John St robin, main escort for the Meteor Viewed In Bencl Area A large meteor with a lingering (ail flashed through the southwest ern sky last night, as observed from the Ben darea, and, one sky watcher reported, exploded twice. All persons who observed the fireball noted that its white tail lingered in the summer sky for a time after the fast-moving meteor blew up, or disappeared. Mr. and Mrs. Willard B. Hollen- beck, Bend, obtained a fine view of the meteor as they were driving south on Bond at 10:55, and noted that the object sloped into the southwest. Hollenbeck said a dou ble explosion of Ihe fireball appar ently occurred About nine miles north of Bend, Jerry Shepard and Andy Sandwlck saw the fireball flash into the: south at a terrific speed and van ish near the horizon. They ob tained a fine view of the luminis- ent tail that remained after the blue head of the object disap peared. At 9:55 on the previous night, a brilliant fireball illuminated the Se attle area in Washington.

(Bend Bull olio Phote) Reaction to roposa of Translators Tour Charged Soviets on their tour of the Mid west, said he has pleaded with Agriculture Department officials to Increase the translation staff with "more qualified personnel, "Wp felt- we weren't getting the message across, he said. Slrohm's announced goal on the trip was that "the complete and impressive story of American farm mechanization and produc tivity" be told. "And we need experts to tell it", he said. Difficulty Becomes Evident The language difficulty became evident at a recent Chamber of Commerce dinner in Des Moines which lasted 45 minutes longer than scheduled because an Ameri can interpreter had so much trouble translating speeches of Des Moines civic leaders into Russian. The situation became even more embarrassing Thursday night when Georgi Bolshakov, chief of the Washington bureau of Tass, So viet news agency, became the English - to - Russian translator at a college seminar. Bolshakov explained he had been asked to translate by Vladimir Mutshevich. head of the Russian delegation and first deputy min ister of Soviet agriculture, because I can do it belter than the other gentlemen." Elder said "the trip so tar would not have been possible" if II had not been for some Russian-speak ing newsmen. He referred to four American reporters and three Rus sians. The Stale Department, It was reported, Is short of Interpreters because of the Geneva conierence, But Strohm said that even his requests for technical equipment to overcome the mngugage barrier have been Ignored.

The Big Four summit confer ence already had been thrown off schedule by apparent Soviet uncertainty on the secrets-trad lug plan when the President In troduced his newest plan. At Mr. Eisenhower's sugges tion, the heads of government scheduled o special, secret ses sion for 11 a.m. tomorrow in an effort to rock the conference off dead center in Its waning hours. It was believed possible the Soviets might respond to the President's proposal at that meeting, at which only four members of each delegation will be present. Uranium Find Said Significant LAKEVIEW. Ore. (UP) A state geologist today said the recent uranium find in the Augur Creek area 12 miles from here was "sig nificant" in that the ore was found in types of volcanic rocks which had not been known to contain radioactive material. Max Sclmfer of the State Bu reau of Geology said that "at the very least a small amount of conv merclal ore had been found In the mountains ureui teeming with an estimated 500 uranium seekers. Tim tirniSiim u ' a -o rw, i-i or t, hn In the form of n yellow-green fmn"onfio to Hie Russians to prove deposited in fractures in rocks, a crystalline material found in rock openings, or In the form of altered volcanic rocks. Seha fer said samples of the rich est strikes had been sent to Port land for assaying, but he had not received a report. The Federal Bureau of Mines at Albany last week rated a sample sent In by John Roush, Lakeview prospector, at 1.4 percent uranium, well above the 0.1 minimum set by the Atom ic Energy Commission for com mercial development.

No. 193 s J Big 4 Parley Schedule Gets Out of Kilter By MKItltlM V SMITH ' United Press White House Writer GENEVA (UP) President "El senhower's sudden proposal to trade arms secrets with Russia threw the smooth running sched ule of the Big Four summit con ference out of kilter today, ap parently because the Russians needed more time to think It over. The meeting of heads of gov ernment opened an hour after Its scheduled starting time. It" had -been delayed to give the Big Four foreign ministers more time to complete their report to the sum mit. The ministers met twice in ad vance of flie summit meeting and once recessed briefly while Sov iet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov returned to his delegation's licad quarters for consultations. . Elsenhower Leaving Time was running out for Uio summit talks. President Eisenhower has an nounced his intention to leave Gen eva by 3 p.m. tomorrow. Western observers believed to day's session was approaching the noyott stage. Russia must give Us reaction and answer to Mr. Eisenhower's bold secrets-swapping plan today, or at latent tomorrow. And the Soviets, U they have any surprises to spring or concrete new proposal to make, must un cork them itbin the next 24 hours. But the President's startling " '"LV w" " mocreinp impact on tne sum- mit conference of the Big Four. An electrical storm broke over Ihe Palace of Nations late yester day when the President was mak ing his heartfelt plea to the Sovi ets to exchange blueprints of mll-- itnry installations nnd rights to lake aerial photogrnphs of each other's territories. Lights Go Out Just as he finished, the lights went out. "I didn't expect to blow out the llidits," Mr. Eisenhower snid in the darkened, silent chamber. But he did-figuratively. His unexpected proposal was the talk of the conference, where the foreign ministers were meeting to plow through a heavy Imd of pre narntory work before the heads of government meeting. Surge of Hopo Newspnper reaction showed the' President's offer sent a surge of hope for peace through Europe. At Ihe United Nations In New York dinlomats applauded the plan, but doubled that Russia would accept it. In Washington, most members of Congress hailed Ihe offer, One member of the French del e wit ion here said Mr. Elsenhow er's move strengthened his view that the Americans have out maneuvered the Russians al every turn in this conference. Western dinlomats watched for i possible Soviet cvmnter-stroly in the closing hours of the Big Knur parley, which folds up proba bly tomorrow. Hiird To Reject They estimated the odds were against Russian necmlance of the oioprtsal, even thowh the Presi dent appealed to them to think tw;ce, informed diplomats believed it would be hard for Ihe Russians to re (eel the plan oiitilcht because if ('' Dsvchological gmund they would lose.
