J. S. Fulfills
enan Promises
Yenan, China, March J VP)
The United States fulfilled its fi
lal obligation to the Chinese
:ommunists this afternoon when
he last planeload of the party's
liaison personnel from govern
ment territory arrived at this
communist capital.
Brig. Gen. John P. McConnell
of Boonevillc, Ark., landed the
C-54 on Yenan's narrow, ditch
defined runway, completing the
air lift of 146 communists as
promised when the Americans
abandoned the attempt to medi
ate the Chinese civil war.
Guards on the mountain crests
around Yenan airfield are sched
uled to hold their fire Sunday
when four Chinese government
air force planes bring in an
other group of communists from
government territory.
Residents of Chengtu and
Chungking, these people were
not connected with the media
tion efforts but were on the
government's "red list" and
were ordered to leave.
The Chinese planes will be
guided to Yenan by a U. S. army
radio plane which set up trans
mitters on the edge of the field
for that purpose. This plane is
expected to leave in the next
48 hours, and then Col. John K.
Sells of Lompoc, Calif., will be
the only American link with the
communists. He has been or
dered to stay in Yenan until re
lease is arranged for two Ameri
can officers now held by the
communists in Manchuria.

U. S. to Win in
Atomic Report
Lake Success, N. Y., March 10
(IP) Despite expected Russian op
position, the United States ap
peared certain today of winning
its fight to refer the controver
sial atomic report back to the
United Nations atomic energy
commission.
Renewal of the atomic debate
at 3 p.m. (EST) highlighted a
heavy week ahead- for the se
curity council as UN delegates
faced these possible develop
ments:
1. Great Britain was expecied
to file formally with the United
Nations the explosive Palestine
problem as a result of an Amer
ican request for clarification of
the Holy Land issue.
2. The security council was ex
pected to accept the U. S. plan
to place the Japanese-mandated
islands in the Pacific under a
UN strategic area trusteeship
which would give America con
trol of the Marshalls, Marianas
and Carolines.
3. A three-nation council sub
committee prepared to report its
findings on Great Britain s mine
laying complaint against Alba
nia.
4. Before UN delegates was a
petition from the native leaders
of western Samoa for complete
self-government with the pro
tection of New Zealand, which
now administers the territory
under a trust agreement.
As the council assembled to
resume the atomic control dis
cussions, American Delegate
Warren R. Austin was prepared
to give a sharp reply to Russia's
charges that the United States
seeks a world monopoly in
atomic energy.
Burned Liner
To Be Scrapped
New York, March 0 U.R) The
passenger liner John Ericcson
"in all likelihood" will be laid
up and sold for scrap, as a result
of the $1,500,000 fire which
swept the ship at her berth yes
terday, maritime commission
officials said today.
Capt. Hewlett R. Bishop, At
lantic coast director of the mar
itilhe commission, said a prelim
inary investigation of the ship's
damage revealed that it would
cost more to put the ship back
in repair than it would be worth
in service.
He said the fire, which left
the interior of the superstruc
ture a blackened twisted wreck,
had not damaged the hull or
buckled more than a few deck
plates.
Moreover, he said the engine
rooms were undamaged by
either the fire or the water
used in putting out the blaze.
The fire evidently started in
the wiring behind the wooden
paneling of the promenade deck,
Bishop said. A crew member
had reported seeing the first
flash of fire in that region.
The Ericcson was owned by
the maritime commission and
operated by the United States
Lines. The 20,067-ton vessel
transported more than 76,000
troops during the war. She was
originally commissioned the
Kungsholm of the Swedish
American Lines and was
bought by the United States in
1942.

Seniors Win
Freshman Glee
Last Saturday night before a
crowd that bulged the gymnas
ium the senior class won the
annual Freshman Glee and
Monday morning those students
who backed the wrong group
were paying the penally for
their misplaced judgment. As
usual the pay-offs were unique
and unusual but the old standby
a plunge into the mill stream
by male members of the fourth
olace class lined the banks of
that historic water course with
cheering spectators. This year
it was the freshnlen who had to
make the plunge for their opus
a cupid production with music
by Joe Brazie and words by
Beverly Kennedy and Betty Lou
Edwards, was judged fourth.
Borrowing a page from
movie script, a young woman
smacked a young man full in
the face with a custard-toDDed
cake. The recipient got his eyes
full of the gooey stuff but failed
to keep his mouth open.
Earlier in the morning an
other loser unveiled a crayon
sketch of Dr. G. Herbert Smith
while still another was seen roll
ing across the very damp lawn
by way of preliminary to the
jump into the mill stream.
The customary take-off on
Saturday night's program was
held in the chapel during the
hour from 11 to noon.
The seniors had close competi
tion from the juniors, beating
that class by a single point. The
winning song, called "Post War
Snore" was in line with the
novelty idea of this year's glee
The juniors sang "Willamette
Blues" while the third place
sophs presented an interesting
"Upon the Sea With Jason Lee."
A hornpipe and a rowboat fig
ured in the presentation.
1-Cent Increase
(Continued from Page 1)
The house took its first step
toward reducing the $10,000,000
general fund deficit for the next
biennium by sending to the sen
ate two bills to make the tax
commission pay its expenses out
of receipts. This measure will
make it unnecessary for the leg
islature to appropriate $1,000,
000 out of the general fund for
the commission's expenses.
The senate passed, 21 to 7, and
sent, to the house a bill authoriz
ing the state prison to make the
state's motor vehicle license
plates, which now are made by
a Portland firm. Opponents ob
jected that the bill would de
prive private industry of work.
Governor Signs Bills
Gov. Earl Snell signed into
law today a bill to permit the
governor to order firefighting
equipment from one city to an
other in case of conflagrations.
He also signed a measure boost
ing non-resident fishing licenses
from $5 to $10.
The house also sent to the sen
ate a bill to restrict advertising
by beauty shops. Sponsors de
clared the bill would let the
beauty shops police their own
advertising by preventing false
claims, but opponents said they
objected to advertising restric
tions because of the free press
issue.
Liquor Board Quizzed
Members of the state liquor
commission came here today to
meet with ways and means com
mittee members to give their es
timates of profits for the next
biennium, and thus give the
committee an idea of how much
money will be available for wel
fare purposes. The state budget
division estimates the profits at
$25,000,000, or the amount that
is required for welfare. But the
liquor commission's original es
timate was almost $11,000,000.
If the latter estimate is accept
ed, the state would have to find
the other $14,000,000 from other
sources, or else have a deficit.
Action on proposals to restrict
labor unions is expected Tues
day night at a meeting of the
house and senate labor and in
dustries committees.
57 Fugitive Nazis
Arrested in Austria
Vienna, March 8 W) Vienna
newspapers said today 57 nazis
who fled Vienna to the moun
tains at the end of the war had
been arrested in a recent round
up in western Austria.
The newspapers quoted the
ministry of justice as saving
investigation showed that the
nazis were engaged in black
market activities which "ex
tended to other former nazi
groups in various parts of Aus
tria." Among those reported cap
tured was a former S.S. (elite
guard) lieutenant who had
been living in Inssbruck. Others
were seized in the Salzburg
area.
The ministry has ordered
Austrian police to watch close
ly all displaced persons in
western Austria "to prevent
any possible gathering and co
operation between former na
zis," the accounts said.

Martial Law Re-established to
Prevent Rebellion in Formosa
Nanking. March 10 MV-The Chinese government's official cen
tral news agency said today martial law has been re-established
to prevent rebellion in Formosa as Chiang Kai-Shek declared
his intention to maintain orderf
in the newest of China's hot
spots.
Chiang blamed "Formosans
with communist inclinations and
those who served with Japanese
expeditionary forces in the Pa
cific" for fomenting unrest in
the island.
A delegation of Formosans
came to Nanking to demand self
government and to accuse
Chiang's administrator of killing
3000 to 4000 of their country
men in "a wholesale massacre
that put to shame even Japanese
cruelty." Chinese sources had
reported 500 casualties in the
uprising-February 28.
Central News said the Chinese
garrison in Formosa had ordered
the deactivation of "all illegal
civil bodies" presumably the
six represented in the Nanking
delegation. The martial law or
der banned meetings and parades
and ordered the registration of
all civilian firearms.
The agency said the "commit
tee for settlement of the Febru
ary 28 incident" presumably is
attempting to Inspire rebellion
against the Chinese government.
It added that the committee
seemed to be assuming the role
of an autonomous regime, form
ing administrative bureaus in 17
cities and towns.
The strength of the opposition
seems to confirm reports heard
in Formosa a few months ago
that a considerable quantity of
arms, ammunition and supplies
were hidden on the island prior
to Chinese occupation at war's
end. Previously, Japan dominat
ed the island half a century.
President
(Continued from Page 1)
Charles G. Ross, the presi
dent's press secretary, said the
address not as yet finished
will require about 20 minutes to
deliver. It likely will be broad
cast over all radio networks.
Ross would not elaborate on
this brief announcement:
"The president is going before
a joint session at 1 p.m., Wednes
day. He will address the joint
session on the situation in the
Near East."
Ross said the session between
Mr. Truman and the congression
al leaders of both parties was de
voted to an outline of the Near
East situation and to an "inter
change of views."
In talking to reporters, Van
denborg said:
"The president has discussed
with us in great candor the sit
uation involved in connection
with the proposed Greek loan,
"He will come to congress at
noon Wednesday to a joint ses
sion of the house and senate to
discuss the whole situation."
Read Threatens to
Sue for Damages
Harry B. Read, manager of
Salem Electric, cooperative util
ity, has written a letter to City
Engineer J. H. Davis accusing
Davis of attempting to iiuimidate
workmen of the co-op who were
stringing wires, and threalening
at attempt to collect from the
city damages for time lost.
Davis said, when asked for
comment on Read's letter, that
all he had to say was that a city
ordinance prohibits the stringing
of wires without a permit, and
he was merely attempting to en
force the ordinance. Davis said
there was no discrimination as
between Read's employes and
those of any other utility.
