Talbott Probe
'Still Open'
Despite Move
By HERBERT FOSTER
I'nlted Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON UP)-Sen. John
L. 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

LAKE FLOW DIVERTED This picture by A. E. 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

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

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

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.

Bulletin
GENEVA (ifP) President
Elsenhower today coupled his
dramatic proposal that the Unit
ed States and Russia swap arms
see rets with a new plea to the
Soviets to tear down their Iron
Curtain against Ideas, travel and
peaceful trade.
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.

received a report. The Federal
Bureau of Mines at Albany last
week rated a sample sent In by

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
