The sources said five bases for guided missiles are being con structed in Bulgaria and two more in Albania, the smallest of the Russian satellites. Experts said missiles from these bases not only could cover the Mediterranean but could strike in to part of North Africa where the United States has a number of important air bases. The reports on Russian missile activities came from Greece which is in a good position to cover ac tivities in Bulgaria and Albania. Other sources independently made similar reports. The Soviet was reported to have dispatched a large number of ex perts to both countries to super vise establishment of the bases and to train personnel in use of the new weapons. Indications the bases were strict ly a Soviet affair but camouflaged as a mutual defense arrangement under terms of the Warsaw pact. Diplomatic experts here said the strategic value of the bases was of great importance to Mos cow and a development which the West could not ignore. The development was expected to be taken fully into account when the NATO military commit tees make their final recommen dations shortly for the establish ment of American .missile bases in Europe. Rare Drug Rushed to Montreal Boy MONTREAL (UP) An Eastern Airlines mercy flight landed here early today with a half-ounce vial of a rare drug doctors needed in their fight to save the life of a 4-year-old boy critically ill from an overdose of sleeping tablets. The plane, whose scheduled departure from New York's La- Guardia Airport was delayed lor an hour so the mcgimide drug could be placed aboard, landed at Montreal's Dorval Airport shortly before 3 a.m. e.s.t. Dr. Andre Soucy, who is treat ing the youngster, Donald Teas dale, met the plane, and rushed back to St, Justine Hospital with the vial. Soucy said the boy had received "two ot the fifteen doses needed to effect complete recovery." "He is improving," Soucy said, "but we will not know until medi cation is completed if it is a suc cess. The boy is still unconscious, and we can only give him small doses because of his age." The doctor could supply no in formation as to how the child re ceived the sleeping tablets, but said he was sure it was accidental. The arrival of the medicine cli maxed a dramatic sequence of events triggered by the boy's ad mission to hospital. Hospital authorities immediate ly phoned the New York Poison Control Center for g dose of the drug, just recently developed. Eastern's Flight 5), scheduled to leave at 11:45 p.m., was held for an hour, for the arrival of Grennan. his pocket and that it was picked up and returned to him. That oc curred near the front of the hall. Lowell A. Jensen, past president of the pioneers, has asked all per sons who were in tlie Grange Hall that night who might be able to throw some light on the missing wallet to call him.

He then departed from his pre pared text to add: "In this, I intend lo participate personally until the job is done." Presidential press secretary James G, Hagerty said he ex pects the President to send to Congress soon his plans for reor ganizing the Defense Department. The President's address in the flag-draped, spotlighted Interna tional Amphitheater celebrated the fifth anniversary of his in auguration. And the scene was at limes as loud and uproarious as the GOP convention ot 1952 when Eisenhower was nominated at the amphitheater for his first ' presi dential campaign. The President's speech was Elmo Smith Set To Chairman Hatfield's Bid ALBANY, Ore. (UP) Former Gov. Elmo Smith said today he has accepted appointment as chairman of Mark Hatfield's cam paign for the Republican nomina lion for governor. Smith polled more votes than any Republican ever elected to office in Oregon and lost the 1956 election by a close margin. He served several sessions in the Btate Senate and was its president in 1955. In accepting the post Smith said: "I have been a personal friend and an associate in various gov ernmental responsibilities of both Mr. Hatfield and Mr. (Slg) Unan. der for many years. I believe Mr. Hatfield better qualified for the governorship. He offers a better balance and broader background of experience in the basic prob lems of state government. Smith characterized Hatfield as an "experienced and dynamic leader" and a "fighter." He said Hatfield decided to run for the nomination because of "terrific presfuro" put on him by Republicans and other Oregonians in all walks of life," adding that the predominant pressure "came from the grass roots." The former governor pledged a "clean cut campaign" based on the comparative qualifications of Hatfield and Unandcr and other possible candidates. Grubb Returns Following Swing With Committee O. W. Grubb, 27th district rep resentative .Oregon house of representatives, relumed to Bend late Sunday following a week-long trip through Eastern Oregon. He was a member of a five-person fish and game interim committee. The group plans another trip, with a slop in Bend, in early March.

Search Pressed For Missing C97 HONOLULU (UPI - Rescue ships and planes pressed a search for a missing C97 with new zeal loday with the discovery of vreck age In the area where the Strato- rniiser was believed ti have crashed. Search headquarters at Hono lulu reported rescue boats Monday recovered bits of foam rubber, green rubber soundproof boards and some wood.

Eight Pages tos Sloan mi Pefenses part of a nationwide fund-raising effort by the Republicans. The President appeared on radio and television along with a number of other speakers, including Vice President Richard M. Nixon, who spoke from New York, and GOP National Chairman Meade Al corn, who spoke from the Amphi theater here, working from a tele- prompter. Injects Fighting Phrases The President's prepared text was a rather soft-pedalled politi cal call to battle. But he departed from the text frequently to inject fighting phrases into his remarks. In his prepared address, the President advised against turning the achievement of national secu rity and a just peace into a "par tisan or political" matter in this year's by-election. "Americans must never and will never let the issue of secu rity and peace become a pawn in anyone's political chess game, he said. But as he delivered the speech, he added a long interpolation at tacking those who would picture America as weak in an era of Russian scientific and weapons advances. "Don't pay any attention to the pessimists those people who, for reasons of their own, contend that America is fearful, America is weak." Let's throw back our shoulders and stand proudly erect," he con tinued. "Let s thrust out our chins and say: America is strong and will grow ever stronger as long as there is any danger ot attack upon us or our allies." Eisenhower drew loud cheers when he told of his plans to per sonally push reorganization of the Defense Department. "The American people rightly expect their government will keep the nation s defense strong," Ei senhower said. These defenses are strong: "They command the respect of all the world, friendly and unfriendly." Unander Hits Freight Rate Differential Siwlnl to TIM Bulletin MADRAS Sig Unander, Ore gon state treasurer and candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, attacked what he- term ed failures in leadership of Gov ernor Robert D. Holmes before Jefferson County Republicans in Madras last night. It was his first major campaign talk in Central Oregon. Unander called for statesman ship in Ihe Slate House, rather than "caterwauling politics which have put Oregon in an unfavor able position". Unander said this specifically applied to freight rates. The speaker charged that Cen tral Oregon potato growers were being denied just profits due to the freight rate differential between Oregon and Idaho. In his opinion the situation could be corrected by more diplomacy and statesman ship in Ihe governor's office. The meeting was held in the Ma sonic hall before a large crowd. Among Ihe spectators was Mrs. Brick Hagedom, Crook County Central Committee chairman. Unander was outspoken in his criticism of the present slate ad ministration's "grasp for concen tration of power." He said Gover nor Holmes made a "vicious at tempt for abolishment of the State Board of Control with the power of fe'ection to come from the gov ernor's office. " The proposed abolishment of the State Board of Liquor Control by Holmes also drew fire from the COP candidate, hj did the gover nor's "attempted muzzling of the State Game and Fish commissions. Unander asserted that Oregon's present narrow tax base had put the slate in an unfavorable posi tion with other slates In attract ing new 'industry. He pointed out that the "home grown Jantzen woolen industry reirts to ware housing In Washingto because of the unfriendly tax situation In Ore gon." FinrMFN MAKF, HVX Bend firemen made a run to the Frrd Howe residence, where there was a flue tire at 3:23 a.m. today. There was no damage. No. 38 Fight Shaping Over Plans For Shake-up WASHINGTON (UP) The House Appropriations Committee today voted all of the $1,260,000, 000 in extra cash asked by Presi dent Eisenhower to speed missile and other defense programs. At the same time it boosted from 110 million to 150 million dollars the authority he asked to shift funds from one defense pro gram to another to exploit any unexpected weapons break throughs. House approval appeared cer tain by Thursday at the latest. Meanwhile, Congress headed in to a battle over President Eisen- hnu'or's nmmicul chubo-nn nt im Defense Department. The Presi dent declared Monday night ht ill personally boss "prompt and effective modernization" ,' of the department. The White House said Congress will get his reorganiza tion plan "fairly soon." Both the Army and Air Force were reported rushing their own blueprints to weld the three serv ices into a single command unit. And today a retired naval hero. Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, recommended that the Joint Chiefs ot Statt be streamlined te put them in closer touch with the President. But he said he is against the general statt idea. Tar East Missile In other developments: Army Secretary Wilbcr M. Brucker told the House Armed Services Committee the Army is modifying two Jupiter-C missiles to launch scientific satellites. He also said the Army wants a pro gram to launch large reconnais sance and mapping satellites "of great military value." He added that the Army is "developing hardware" for the Nike-Zeus anti missile missile. fit newly released testimony, Defense Secretary Neil If. Mc Elroy said the U. S. Is considering deployment of 1,500-mile inter mediate range ballistic missiles in the Far East. He did not say where or when. Nimitz, still ruddy-faced and erect at 72, testified before the Senate Preparedness Subcommit tee which is studying Pefense De partment reorganization. While with the fleet, Nimitz: said, , he often had "a sense of frustra- i" while waiting for decision arrive from Washington. He felt then that It would be better to have a single commander rath er than the joint chiefs set-up. Contacts With President But his later experience as a member of the joint chiefs changed his mind, Nimitz said, and he now opposes the general staff concept. But he thinks the joint chiefs could be improved, he said, hy having them rotate in the post of chairman from time to time rather than having a separ- te chairman as is now the case. With the service chiefs taking turns as top spokesman, he added, they could become better ac quainted with the President. . Nimitz noted that the President as commander-in-chief has final responsibility for making policy. Need for Funds Noted by Officials Of Polio Unit Polio ol'icials speaking before the Bend Kiwanis Club Monday mphasized the continuing r.eed for funds in caring for persons already afflicted with the disease. Sharing the program were Mrs. George Ray, chairman of the Des chutes county chapter of the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Pa ralysis, and Dr. Joe Winter, chair man of the current March of Dimes campaign. Despite the great success of Salk vaccine, it was noted, funds are still badly needed In caring lor those who contracted polio before the discovery of the preventative serum. Some of these unfortunate victims live in Deschutes county and will be benefitted by local con tributions. Following short talks by Mrs. Ray and Winter, a film on infantile paralysis was shown. The lunch, eon meeting was held at Uie Pine Tavern. 7
