Interest In the possibility of oil in the mid-Oregon country flared In the past year when Standard entered the field, with structure surveys made from planes and by ground parties. However, no seismograph work has yet been done in the area. Humble Oil Co. is also in the Central Oregon field, but appar ently has not yet asked for leases. Standard has thousands of acres under lease. with Red China biggest causes of tension between the two nations is the illegal deten tion of Americans by Red China He was asked how "arrange ments" could be made at next week's talks that would not pre judice the rights and interests of Nationalist China. America Will Listen The President said the first ar rangement which concerned the United States was how to get the Americans home. This subject, he said, does not affect Nationalist China. Tnen he said the United States will have to listen to what the. Red Chinese want to talk about. He said that at the Big Four Geneva conference just concluded the fate of Arab and African na tions, for example, could not be discussed. Then, Mr. Eisenhower said that the talks with Red China eventu ally might have to go to a min isterial meeting, but that he just did not know. This was taken to mean that a higher meeting might involve oth ers besides this country and Com munist China. Asks Cease Fire Mr. Eisenhower, in response to another question, said he never had discussed the idea oZ having two Chinas in the world if that would make for peace. Meanwhile, this government pre pared demands that Red China prove its peaceful intentions by agreeing to a cease fire in the For mosa Straits and freeing 51 Amer icans held in Chinese jails. Observation Post To Be Enclosed In Glass Walls Ground Observer Corps mem bers in Bend are going to live in a glass house, and when they spot planes they will not have to tele phone far.

Hells Canyon Dam Okayed By Sub Group WASHINGTON (UP) A House Interior Subcommittee by a one ole margin approved a bill to day to authorize construction of The 484 million dollar Hells Can yon Project on the Snake River. Chairman Wayne N. Aspinall (D-Colo) said the vote for the con troversial bill was 14 to 13, with all favorable votes coming from Democrats and all opposing votes coming from Republicans. Two Democrats were absent. The vote puts the bill before the full committee, which has its next scheduled meeting Tuesday. Rep. Grade Pfost (D-Idaho), one of four sponsors of the bill, said chances for full committee approv al appeared to depend on when Congress adjourns. She said she had discussed get ting a vote with Chairman Claire Engle t D-Calif ) , but added he j made no commitment. The dam would be on the middle Snake River on the Idaho-Oregon border. The Idaho Power Com pany is seeking Federal Power Commission authority to build three comparutivey low dams I which would preempt the site for thff proposed government dam. An FPC examiner has recom mended that the company be giv en a license for a single dam. The subcommittee put the 48-1 million dollar price tag on the project. The total includes 308 mil lion dollars for the dam itself, 130 million dollars for transmission lines and 46 million dollars tor the Scriver creek power project in Idcho. ' Rep. John P. Savior (R-Pn.) asserted the group had approved plans drafted for the dam in 1951 which actually would cost 356 mil lion dollars. The lower cost, he said, is based on "substantial" de sign changes that are not provided for in the bill. The dam would have a capacity of 800.000 kilowatts with provision for eventual installation of another: 100.000. The bill does not provide for any immediate irrigation de velopment, but would allow surplus power revenues to be used in the future for that purpose. A Senate interior subcommittee has approved a similar bill, which has appeared to be blocked in the full committee. Voting for the bill was Demo cratic Rep. Edith Green (Ore.) Israel Plane Shot Down TEL AVIV, Israel M Commu nist Bulgarian anti-aircraft guns today were reported to have shot down an El-Al Israel airliner ear-1 rying 57 persons, including at least i five American tourists.

Greek authorities said they rushed investigators, to the bonier near Greek villages of Surbanovo and Serres. They were unable to aid the victims or investigate the crash, because the plane fell in side Red territory. (Officials of El-Al Airlines said among the Americans aboard were fi Mrs. Sheinbaum and a Mrs. Kafp and her daughter, who bwdcd the plane at liondon.) Reports received here said Brit-; ish dblomnts in Sofia were at-! empting to get information on, 'he fate of tho passengers fromi ?tiiwiJin officials. In Tel Aviv, an El-Al spokesman! yU the airline had received re oorts indicating the pilot tried to make a crash landing, hut there was no Wftv of knowing the result.
