Trip to Portland
Fifteen of the 45 Bulletin car

Redmond were taken to Portland
Tuesday for a full day's visit.
They were selected on the basis of
their record in soliciting new sub
scribers. Art Boyle, Bulletin circulation
manager, was the official escort
of the pariy. The group left Bend
at 8 a.m. and arrived in Portland
about noon. They were luncheon
guests on the S.S. Seafarer of
Pope and Talbot Inc., where they
were shown around the engine
room, navigation deck, and other
departments. Capt. Christopher
Petersen was the Pope and Tal
hot host on the ship.
In the afternoon, the carrier

3-Dam Plan Approved
Construction of these three pro

single high dam at the
Hells Canyon site, the FPC said.
In the session of Congress just
ended, Interior subcommittees of
both House and Senate approved
bills for federal construction of a
single high dam In Hells Canyon,
but neither fuH committee took ac
tion and the issue never went to
the floor. -

Russians Reject
Water Meter
Plan Given
At Meeting
Installation of water meters as
a means to conserve city water
was discussed at length at the
city commission meeting last
night. At least two commissioners,
Web Loy and Ted Sexton, openly
spoke in favor of it.
No uction wus taken, but explor
ation of the possibility was urged. I
The commission has shown con-i
siderable concern over the water:
shortage in previous meetings.
Construction of another main line
to bring in additional water and
bond issue to finance it were
brought up before. But at last,
night's meeting, the attention was!
shifted to conservation.
Water and Street Superintendent!
Percy Drost, in answer to a ques-!
tion. stated that water meters
would reduce approximately 25
per cent of the water consumption.
The present fixed rate system en
courages residents to indulge in
excessive use of irrigation water,
it was pointed out by several com
missioners. Cost is Cited
Commissioner Vern Larson said
that the cost of the meters and
the installation should not be ne
glected. Approximately $135,000
would be needed to put meters ln
some 3,000 homes In Bend, he ob
served, and this amount might be
adequate to bring in additional
water. '
It was apparent that should the
water meter plan be adopted, the
cost of the Installation would be
borne by the water department's
revenue and the plan be carried
out over a period of several yeai'B.
Water -Superintendent Drost re-
ported mat resiuent-ownea meter
systems nave not wontea oui sat
isfactorily in many cities.
Commissioner Sexton said that
although the cost of installing the
meters is considerable, the cost to
bring in 25 per cent more water
is even bigger. The meter system
would make it fair to those who
do not use excessive amounts.
Another advocate of the meter
system, Commissioner Web Loy
who brought up the issue last
night, stated that meters will be
necessary to solve the water prob-i
lem eventually. - I
Committee Named
At the commission meeting,
Mayor Hans Slagsvold announced:
the appointment of the five-man
citizens' committee to aid "the
commission In various activities,

Drost also reported that Deschutes
county is planning to pave Powell
Butte and Paulina Creek road with
20 foot paving from L. 4th and
Revere streets. The county s plan
will cover some length of the road
within the city limits at no cost
to the city.
Drost also stated that the state
highway department Is willing to
pave the unpaved part of Galves
ton avenue connecting the Century
drive if the property owners there
will pay for the curb. The mayor
noted th.it this is a very hand
some proposition for the property
owners in that section and urgiv

Plan
Proposal Said
Not Practical
By Red Leader
MOSCOW (UP) Soviet Premier
Niknlnl Bulfiaiun ttxtay rejected
President Eisenhower's proposal
for an exchange of military secrets
to prove a mutual desire fur
peace.
Bulganln told an extraordinary
session of the Supreme Soviet that
"I do not believe Ihe proposal can
have any great, real sicnifidance."
President Elsenhower proposed to
Russia at the Big Four summit
conference in Geneva that the two
nations trade their arms and mlli-
'ary blueprints and throw both
countries open to unlimited aer
'al reconnaissance and uerial pho
tography to prove their mutual de-
ures for peace.
Reports On Geneva -The
proposal was th? sensation
of the summit conference and, un
til todny, had not been answered
by Russia.
Bulganin's rejection of the plan
was made during a one hour and
35 minute report to an extraor
dinary session of the Soviet Parlia
ment on the results of tha Geneva
conference.
He said that in private conversa
tions with Western Ipadfrs at Gen
eva, Russia had pointed out that
the terrain and topocrnphy of the
USSR and United States "would
permit camouflage ot anything de
sired." Thus, ha said aerial photo
graphs would not give satisfactory
results.
The comment was greeted with
loud lauRntcr.
"wo Relieve that
our proposal ot tne mm 01 may
is much more realistic'
In that proposal Russia asked for
progressive disarmament' In 'two
stages: Reduction of armed forces,-
a step by step reduction of arms
leading finally to , complete ban
- Ln Mmin nil ninmif mmm
- But Bulganln snld the Geneva
J conference with Its accompllsh-
ments was a success and "marked
a turning point In the relations
between the Soviet Union and tho
West."
The special parliamentary ses
sion was called for the specific
put-post of hearing Bulganin's re
port on his meeting at Geneva with
President Eisenhower, British
Prime Minister Anthony Eden and
French Premier Edqnr Faure.
"The Geneva conference," Bui-
gnnin said, "must bo considered
a success for the forces of
peace.
He stressed that "a spirit of co-
operation and mutual understand
ing ruled at Geneva among all par
ticipants." And he said he was Con'
vlnced by the conference results
that "the peaceful policies of the
Soviet Union conform to the aspira
tions of all peoples.
Then he called for the admission
of Russia's close political ally, Red
China, to membership In the United
Nntions an a measure to further
reduce International tensions, les
soned by the Geneva conference.
All top Communist party and gov
ernment leaders were present '
hear the report and U. S. Ambas
sndor Charles E. Bohlen was prom
inent among the glittering array of
diplomats the diplomatic box
