Gains Vote of
PARIS (UP) The French gov
ernment won a vote of confidence
.today, thus saving France and hs
Western allies from a major in
ternationul crisis.
The vote was 271 to 259.
Premier Edgar Fam e staked 'he
life of his cabinet and France's
formal participation in the Bjg
Four ministers conference in Gen-
. eva on the vote and won.
The vote was considered so cru
cial that Foreign Minister An
toine Pinay flew here from Geneva
to plead with the divided deputies
to avoid plunging t ranee into cris
is at this time.
The vote was on general govern
ment policies, provoked by a So
cialist Party charge the Faure gov
ernment was incompetent to handle
the crucial issues facing it in Eu

Making Plans
For Yuletide
"To all a Merry Christmas."
This was the greeting that went
out from the Bend Chamber of
Commerce earlier this week to
Bend business houses.
Marion E. Cady, chamber man
ager, agreed that the greeting was
a bit early, but he thinks it is time
ly: It prefaced Information rela
tive to the purchase bf new orna
ments for local streets.
Cady said the new ornaments
are 30-inch plastic lighted Santa
Claus faces and bel clusters.
"These are well built, sturdy pieces
and will last for several years,
Cady said.
Part of the ornaments are of the
Santa Claus face type, and part
are bell clusters. They will be Illu
minated from the inside1.
All merchants will also be asked
to join In the civic move to dec
orate their store or office fronts
when the Yule season arrives.
Present plans call for the plac
ing of the street decorations Just
prior to the Thanksgiving holidays.
Case Concluded
By Prosecution
McMINNVILLE (UP) The
prosecution ended its case against
Mrs. Marjorie Smith late yester
day afternoon. The 34 -year -oi l
widow is accused of planning ti e
car-bomb slaying of her husband,
Oliver Kermit Smith, last April in
Portland.
Defense Attorney Bruce Spauld
Ing immediately launched into an
argument to have the testimony of
Victor Laurence Wolf stricken
from the record. Wolf 45 year-old
electrician, has confessed to the
slaving, and as a state witness
earlier this week said he and Mrs.
Smith planned the murder to
gether. Judge Arlie Walker denied the
defense motions, however.
A one-time friend of Mrs. Smith
told the Yamhill County Circuit
Court yesterday that 'she once
talked to him of having her hus
band "done away with."
Thomas A. Marlin, 38 - year - old
horse meat packer from Sherwood.
Ore., who met Mrs. Smith when
they both were employed at an
Oregon shipyard during World War
II, said he talked to the attractive
widow last April. Marlin said stie
told him, " I have a man who will
shoot my husband if somebody will
drive the car.' '
Marlin said he told Mrs. Smith
anvone who would pull such
stunt was a "screwball" and asked
her why she didn't divorce her
husband if she disliked him that
much.
The slate produced six witnesses
in all yesterday for the purpote
of backing up testimony given by
Wolf which linked Mrs. Smith to
the slaying.

on the chamber floor of ailing
Communist chte: Maurice Thurez,
who limped out of his isolation to
be in on the possible kill.
As far as deputies could remem
ber it was the "first lime the 55-
year-old Communist boss has tak
en his seat since he was felled
by a stroke in 1950 and carried
off to Moscow in a plane for a
30-month "ewe."
The pug-nosed ex-coal miner
limped in on the arm of a burly
comrade just before , Faure took
the .rostrum for a last-minute de
fense of his government.
Faure told the deputies whet
everybody realized that today's

erations in North Africa, was ac
tually a vote on his demands for
early general elections.
He urged the voters to vote
strictly on the North Africa issue
and to save the issue of the elec
tions for later debate.
Calm And Confident
Faure, wearing his usual double-
breasted suit and horn-rimmed
glasses, appeared calm and confi
dent. "I ask all those who have sup
ported the government policy to
give It their vote, were the con
cluding words.
There was a half an hour inter
mission while Faure and Pinay
mf.de last minute appeals to wav
ering deputies in the lobbies. .
Ex-Premier Pierre mendes
France, who came out in open op
position to his fellow Radical So
cialist when Faure called for Dec

The debate began at 10 a.m.
Seventy minutes later the deputies
walked up one by one and handed
their markers to a tail-coated ush
er who dropped them into a blue

Old Bradetich
Ranch Bought
By Californian
h. H. Lassard, new owner of
the 800-acre ranch purchased r
cently from Edward. L. Haldy,
about four miles east of Bend. s
in possession today after moving
noin Kediands, Calif,
Lassard was accompanied by his
wife, a daughter, Mrs. Laurel Wal
lace, and her three children, Jan
ice, 6: Bruce, 3, and Christine, 15
months.
The property was widely known
as the Bradetich ranch, operated
for many years by John and
George Bradetich before they ac
quired new acreage to the east,
They sold to H. G. and Lewis
Rainey, who in turn sold to Haldy.
Trade Involved
Haldy traded even with Lassaid
for a large residential hotel in
Redlands, 75 miles east of Los An
geles. He has gone there with his
family.
The new owner was for 25 years
owner of -the Lassard Printing
Company of Portland, a comAicr-
cial printing firm. He quit the bu.si
ness in 1945 when a new steel and
concrete building he had construct
ed was purchased by the city and
torn down to make room for the
cloverleaf pattern highway
the Broadway bridge.
The printer turned fruit farmer
in Sonoma county, Calif., 55 miles
north of San Francisco. The Las
sard Orchards produced and pro
cessed prunes that were sold in
ternationally, as well as a lesser
amount of apples.
With the Haldy ranch lassard
acquired ' a number of buildings
and a herd of 175 pure-bred white-
faces.
Cattle Entirely
In the herd is a Domino strain
bull which Haldy had bought for
56.000. Lassard said he would
eliminate whatever diversified
farming was done on the ranch
and devote himself to cattle rais
ing entirely, producing three tjp
strains of pure-bred Here fords.
The ranch is on of the show
places east of Bend. It is about
a mile south of the Burns high
way from a point three miles east
of Pilot Butte.
The family will occupy the main
house, a 7-bedroom structure
two stories, a lower one of stone
and the upper of wood. There is
a separate dwelling Tor a ranch
foreman and family, two modern
barns and a number of out build
ings, including a new machine
shed. i

Nothing New
In Proposals
By Russians
GENEVA (UP) The West and
Russia today handed to each other
rival "peace packages" that
showed them still hopelessly far
apart on how to end the cold war.
The peace offers were contained
In Western and Soviet draft secur
ity treaties put forward at the sec
ond plenary session of the Big
Four foreign ministers conference.
The West's package called for
a "treaty of assurance" against
aggression for an indefinite period
of time. But it was made condi
tional on Soviet agreement to all
German elections and German uni
ty 4n 1956.
The Soviets proposed, in turn, a
50-year European collective secur
ity trenty that would include the
United States, with Red China as
an observer. But It offered no pros
pect of early German unity. It
called for scrapping of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization and
Western European Union alliances.
as well as complete neutralization
of Europe.
- Same Soviet Plan
Diplomats noted at once that the
Soviet plan was not new or even
warmed over.
Part of it was almost word tor
word identical with proposals made
by Soylet Foreign Minister V. M.
Moiotov at the. abortive Berlin tor-
eign minister conference In
The rest vrtsa reh ash ot what Sov
iet "Premier NJkoial Buiganin had
proposed at the Geneva summit
conference in July.
The West's nine-point plan hf
eluded a buffer control zone across
Europe, such as' was previously
proposed by British Prime Min
ister Anthony Eden.
Charter Members
The draft did not specify what
nations would be included In the
se c u r i t y guarantees. But high
Western sources disclosed that the
United States, Great Brit ain, ;
France, the Soviet Union, Poland,.
Czechoslovakia and a unified Ger-;
many were envisaged as the char-'
tor members.
Among its features was a pro-
posal that Russia should run a
radar wa r n 1 n g network inside
Western territory. Similarly, the
West would operate a similar net
work Inside Eastern Europe. The
distances probably would run
about 100 to 150 miles on each side
of the Iron Curtain.
British Foreign Secretary Harold
Mem 111 an put forward the treaty
In a major declaration in behalf
of the Wpst. A procedural filibuster
by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M.
Moiotov bad upheld its publication
last night. '
Moiotov had maneuvered the de
lay apparently until he could ready
a rival document of his own to be
presented today.
!Ily Land Threat
The Big Four sat down to talk
European treaties against the
background of a looming threat of
a ncwshoot!ng war betwen Arabs
and Jews in the Middle East.
An Israeli raid on Egypt, In
which both sides claimed a num
ber of casualties inflicted on the
other, brought an urgent hour-long
meeting between Macmlllnn and
Secretary of Stnte John Foster
Dulles.
Another complication to the pres
ent conference was the temporary
absence in Paris of French For
eign Minister Antolne Pinay. He
returned there to help Premier
Edgar Faure win a vote of confi
dence in the National Assembly
and was expected back 11010
shortly.
Meanwhile, West ern officials
wild the United States, Britain and
France would re a s s u r e Israeli
Premier Moshe Sharett that his
country would be protected against
aggression under the terms of the
three-power 1950 declaration on
the stability of the Middle Ea.
