Report Praised,
Condemned ' at
Portland Airing
PORTLAND (UP) A Congres-1
sional subcommittee on water and
power resources continued to take
testimony on the Hoover Commis
sion report here today after hear
ing it both praised and criticized
by 15 witnesses yesterday.
aen. wayne morse lu-urej whh
the principal objector. Morse con-1
demned the report as biased and
loaded in favor of private power.
He said an analysis of the report
indicated the commission was for
getting the government out of the
power business which he said
would be damaging to the region.
C. B. Stephenson, president of
the First National Bank and chair
man of the Oregon citizens com
mittee for the Hoover report, said
he favored any program which
would reduce unnecessary cos's.
He said he favored a national
water resources board to which
Morse said he was opposed.
John Day Favored
The Hoover report recommended
creation of a national water re
sources board and that the govern
ment build power projects whkh
were beyond capabilities or will
ingness of local areas. It also rec
ommended against overlapping
jurisdiction of several agencies in
the field of water resource.
Former State Sen. Ernnst R
Fatland. Condon, said privately
operated Columbia river power
plants might serve as "yardsticks
for efficiency of government In
stallations. Fatland favored part
nership construction of John Day
dam on the Columbia river and
said partnership dam building was
one way to reduce government
spending.

Dulles Hurls
Angry Charge
At Russians
WASHINGTON (UP) Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles
charged today that Russia ha-s
been trying to get India to use
force in its dispute with Portugal
over the territory of Goa.
Dulles made the charge at a
news conference at which he de
fended a joint U. S. - Portugese
statement on Goa which has in
furiated India.
Dulles said he gave very careful
consideration to the statement is
sued last Friday, and that he felt
it was appropriate to express feel
ings on Soviet statements aimed
at fomenting trouble in the Goa
area.
The controversial statement.
which Dulles issued jointly with
visiting Portuguese foreign Min
ister Paulo Cuhna, referred to Goa
as a "Portugese province." i
The phrase Infuriated the Indians i
because they have insisted that
Goa is not a province but an un-
willing Portuguese colony which
should be turned over to India.
Dulles also told newsmen:
1. Communist China has been
steadily building up airfields in the
Formosa Strait area. But U.S. in
telligence so far has riot indicated
thai the Red Chinese are making
preparations to attack Nationalist
Chinese holdings in the J area,
2. The United States hopes both
Israel and her Arab neighbors will
see the benefits to all concerned
In a solution to their dispute. So
far no concrete step toward a solu
tion Is in sight, but the possibilities
for agreement exist.
3. It Is always possible that
Communist East Germany will cut
barge traffic to Berlin, but the
United States has no reason to
think this will happen now. He said
the United States will hold Russia
responsible for interruptions in ca
nal traffic under the 1954 agree
ment assuring the West of commu
nications with Berlin.
Report Prepared
For Commission
A comprehensive ordinance pr
viding for the licensing of all bust
nesscs in Bend is being typed to
day after months of study and
preparation for presentation to the
city commission at Its first Decem
ber meeting tomorrow night.
The blanket business licensing
ordinance Is the first prepared for
the consideration ot tile commis
sioners In the history of the ci'y,
said Walter T. Thompson, city
manager.
If adopted, the new measure
would repeal 28 existing
dlnances, each dealing with a sep
arate business. It would also in
clude a large number of busi
nesses not Bavin a license at
present.
The added licenses would brin
in enough additional revenue, it
was hoped, to enable the city to
get along on its present tax stnic
ture.
The new ordinance was drafted
by City Attorney Harry A. English
after conferences with Thompson
and Mrs. Julia S. Johnson, city
treasurer and recorder.

'Enemy' Blows
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
(UP) The mobilized defense
forces of the United States and
Canada staged a seven-hour war
practice alert last night and early
today. ,
The alert, "Operation Cracker-
jack," was flashed throughout the
North American defense commu
nications network at 10 p.m. EST
last night by headquarters of the
continental Air Defense Command
hero.
It was terminated at 7:06 a.m.
EST on CONAD orders.
Within minutes after the prac
tice alert was called, interceptor
planes were in the sky over the
continent to ward off simulated
"enemyy tactics."
Headquarters of the Continental
Air Defense Command (CONAD)
flashed the alert throughout the
North American defense commun
ications network Monday. Inter
ceptor planes were in the sky over
the continent within minutes t6
ward oft the simulated attacks
named operation "Crackerjack."
Units of the Strategic Air Com
mand, America's offensive' air
force, are staging the attack or at
tacks which might last tour days.
bAu planes are probing outer con
tinental defenses In attempts to ex
ploit any. weak points.
Crackerjack's success might not
be announced for several days or
weeks, if ever, CONAD said. Its
official announcement said only
that "elements of tfie Strategic
Air Command are being used in
the exercise in an attempt to pen
etrate the air defense system."
An estimated 400,000 civilian air
craft spotters are on alert. Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marine, Nationjl
Guard and Reserve units were
ordered to emergency duty about
five hours before the initial signal.
Word that the gigantic exerctse
had started leaked out about 5 p.m.
EST), Monday when these mem
bers of the defease forces were
suddenly called to duty.
It was announced on cct. 18 that
test would be conducted, but
actual timing was a well-kept
secret.
National Guardsmen In the na
tion's capltol were caught by sur
prise. Many were baby sitting
while their wives attended a bridge
session and an emergency nursery
had to be set up to relieve the
daddies for defense.
Most residents of the continent
went about their regular work and
play today, hardly noticing the
sudden switch to war-time de
fensive measures that occurred
white many of them slept.
Om ana residents apparently
were the only civilians Jolted by
the operation. Many made frantic
telephone calls to authorities when
they heard a siren and the roar
of the giant jet bombers from Of
futt Air Force Base.
"Operation Crackerjack," an
alert sounded covering all parts of
the United Slates and Canada, be--ame
effective at the Bend air de
fense filter center at about 2 p.m.
