I No Way Out of
UN Deadlock
Seen by Bidault
French Spokesman Says
All Efforts at Compro-
I mise Seem Hopeless
New York, Sept. 20 W)
French Foreign Minister Geor
ges Bidault declared today that
the crowing conflict between
the United States and Russia
has reached such a critical stage
that further efforts to reconcile
the two viewpoints Seemed hope
less.
In France's opening policy
speech before the United Na
tions assembly, Bidault frankly
acknowledged that he saw no
way out of the crisis sharpened
by the speeches of Secretary of
State George C. Marshall and
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei Y. Vishinsky.
"The French delegate deems
it futile and dangerous to con
ceal the magnitude and serious
ness of the crisis," Bidault told
the S5 national delegations as
the assembly continued its fourth
riav of seneral debate.
Wcan't Be Reconciled
Tn hie maacimictil nnH ctraiffM-
forward speech, Bidault said
France had devoted her efforts
toward compromise and recon
ciliation between Russia and the
United States since the begin
ning of the United Nations but
such efforts now seemed lu
tile.
"Today the means are mea
ser for finding a meeting ground
for the two main statements the
assembly has heard," he declar
ed, referring to the Marshall and
Vishinsky declarations.
"It is but honest to say that
one does not see how they can
be reconsiled," he said.
As a result, he said, France
would take her stand squarely
on the "question laid before us."
He then went on to outline
France's position on specific is
ues lining up with the United
States on almost every ques
tion.

"Many ' Of the speakers who
took the floor before me here
referred to the globe being di
vided into two hostile blocs, a
division which has unfortunate
ly become today a basic phe
nomenon. By her geographical
situation, by her moral and po
litical traditions, by her in-

countries of the world for which

Red Reaction
To UN Fracas
By Eddy GUmore
Moscow, Sept. 20 P) Ac
counts of Secretary Marshall's
and Andrei Vishinsky's speeches
to the U.N. assembly have
brought home with full force te
the Russian people existing dif
ferences between the United
States and the Soviet Union.
Up to now the Soviet people
did not believe that the two -nations
were working in harmony
or anything like it, but the sever
ity of cleavage was not so ap
parent to them as today.
Expressions of Soviet citizens
in the wake of the speeches re
flected these thoughts:
Uncertainty about the future
peace of the world.
A belief that the United States
government is not against war
Jfcith the Soviet Union and in
some cases that the United States
favors war with Russia.
A general letdown over the
possibilities of world-wide co
operation through the United
Nations.
A .feeling that the United
States an ally during the war
has now turned against the
Soviet Union.
However, persons abroad
would be mistaken in feeling the
current situation and the gen
eral assembly activities have
brought any war hysteria here.
They have not.
From time to time this corre
spondent has reported that from
everything one sees and hears
in the Soviet Union there is cer
tainly no preparation nor antici
pation of war. That still goes.
The present status of general
assembly declarations can be
fairly well summed from the
Soviet viewpoint as: "we believe
what our people say. We don't
believe what your people say."

Prices of Grains
Continue Drop
In Chicago Pit
(By th Associated Prejj)
Corn and wheat prices contin
ued to plunge on the Chicago
board of trade today for the third
consecutive day, raising the pos
sibility of a break in the record
high cost of living.
The break in grain prices was
accompanied by the first decline
in four weeks in wholesale prices
for a long list of such commodi
ties as meat, butter, eggs and
flour.
ihe gram market and com
modities price decline, which has
ccntinued since early in the
week, came as the labor depart
ment reported that living costs
for city dwellers hit an all-time
peak in July and probably have
gone "a whole lot higher since
then."
All Grains Decline
Wheat, which at one time suf
fered as much as a 10 cent drop
on hectic trading on the Chicago
board of trade today, ended 3
714 lower, September $2.57 Yt
Corn ended eight cents lower,
the limit under exchange regu
lations, for the third straight day
with September $2.38 and oats
were 3 -5 lower, September
$1.08.
In New York, heavy selling
forced cotton futures down $2 a
bale.
A - labor department official
said mid-September figures were
not yet available, but that liv
ing costs probably were
whole lot higher now" because
of "the steep wholesale price
climb we've had in recent
weeks."
Meanwhile, the country-wide
verbal bombardment at the high
cost of living grew in volume.

Wrecked Plane
Sighted in Luzon
Manila, Sept. 20 (P) A mass
aerial search brought reports to
day of the "possible sighting" in
favorable terrain of some of the
28 passengers and crewmen who
parachuted into midnight, dark
ness from a lost U. S. army trans
port over northern Luzon.
The U. S. 13th air force, to
which the abandoned two-engine
craft was attached, said its
wreckage was definitely located
160 miles northeast of Manila,
and that search pilots also ra
dioed word of the "possible
sighting" of personnel 60 miles
farther north.
This would place survivors in
the vicinity of Tuguegarao, Ca
gayan province, in the northeast
corner of Luzon. The terrain
there was described as "general
ly favorable" for parachute land
ings. Location of the wreckage in
dicated the plane, pushed from
its course by foul weather, was
about 30 miles west of its direct
Okinawa-Manila course when
the pilot ordered all aboard to
jump. Efforts to locate the craft
by, radar and give the pilot his
bearings had proved futile, as
his fuel ran low.
Names of the 28 aboard the
missing transport were not an
nounced. The last message from the
pilot was received at 20 minutes
past midnight, Clark field re
ported. He said he had already
ordered the passengers to jump
and was then abandoning ship
himself.
He had radioed earlier that he
was flying on instruments and
uncertain of his position.
Vacancies in
Filled Only for Extra Session
By James D. Olson
Vacancies in the state legislature caused by death or resigna
tion will not be filled by appointment unless a special session of
the legislature is called prior to the next May primaries, accord
ing to Robert 5. Farrell, secre
tary of state today.
Prior to this year the law
reqiured that in the event of
a vacancy in the state legisla
ture, the secretary of state was
required to notify the county
court in the county in which
the vacancy existed and it was
incumbent upon the court to
make immediate appointment.
However, this law was amended
in the last legislative session and
this procedure was changed so
now appointments are required
only when a session of the legis
lature is convened prior to an
election.
Two seats in the state sen
ate are now vacant through
death of members, one in Mult

To Investigate
Valley Project
Washington, Sept. 20 (P)
Rep. Dondero (R-Mlch.) and the
house public works committee
he heads will investigate Bonne
ville and other northwest power
projects next week.
Dondero is the author of legis
lation pending in committee to
force the sale at the site of power
produced at flood control and
navigation dams. This was sharp
ly opposed at hearings by wit
nesses from the Pacific north
west. Expected to come up again in
the next session of congress,
Dondero's measure would trans
fer from the interior department
to the army engineers with the
requirement the power be sold
at the dams. The power commis
sion would be given jurisdiction
over such sales.
Other Projects Viewed
The committee will visit Se

Walla Walla, and will inspect
Mud mountain dam, rivers and
harbors works, public buildings,
the Bonneville power adminis
tration, the McNary dam site and
dams on the Willamette river.
Eighteen members are expect
ed to reach Seattle Sept. 26. That
day and the next two will be
spent investigating the Lake

To Visit Detroit Dam
One group will inspect the
Fern Ridge reservoir on the

Labor Turmoil
Increasing
(Hv Lha Associated Press)
Fresh and continuing work
stoppages brought new strife to
the nation's labor front today.
Michigan's governor, who had
threatened to send troops into
Detroit following violence in a
three-months-old strike there,
said he had decided against or
dering the National Guard "un
less and until its absolutely
necessary."
Also, on the labor front, was
a report from Washington that
the government had postponed
its deadline for signing of non-
communist- affidavit by labor
leaders from September 23 to
October 31.
Five thousand striking AFL
teamsters who walked off the
job Thursday night and caused
an embargo on nearly all Rail
way Express Agency shipments
in and out of New York were
under orders by their interna
tional president to return to
work.
The teamsters' walkout had
idled all the agency's 1,200
trucks and company spokesmen
said the embargo would affect
about 25 percent of the firm's
national business.
The strike in Detroit which
was given personal attention by
Governor Kim Sigler involved
600 CIO garage mechanics and
77 auto dealers, with the strikers
seeking wage increases and a
city-wide master contract. Six
persons suffered injuries and
several others were arrested in
clashes Wednesday and Thurs
day between police and flying

One of the important changes
suggested is the change of all of

tasked for the ruling August 27
shortly after Neuner issued a di
rective to all county law officers
to enforce state laws banning all
gambling devices.
Neuner, in the opinion, said
that the "statute is not limited to
nickel-in-the-slot machines ex
clusively, but covers all other
machines or devices of like char
acter of which an element of
chance enters when such ma
chines are played for money or
other representative of value."
He asserted the slug-operated
machines are equipped with a
slot for the purpose of insertion
of a coin and to that extent arc
slot machines. The fact they are
referred to as "games," Neuner
ruled, indicates that they are dif
ferent from ordinary legitimate
vending machines which return
merchandise to the patron.
The machines, He"'ass"ertec(,'
contain two elements of a game
of chance, namely: (1) "consid
eration," the coin inserted in the
slot to start the thing in motion,
and (2) "chance," by which the
number of replays the player is
to receive, if any, is determined.
For the same reasons stated
above, Neuner ruled that pinball
machines which pay off in mer
chandise are alsp illegal and the
state law clearly forbids their
use.
"The moral sentiment of the
state demands this enactment in
the interest of the youth of the
stale," Neuner said.
Answering Goode's question
as to whether it is legal to con
fiscate the machines, Neuner
quoted the Oregon statute:
"As further penally for viola
lion of this act all machines or
devices mentioned and described
herein are. declared to be public
nuisances, and they, together
with any coins therein, shall be
forfeited, confiscated and the
sheriff of the county shall de
stroy such machines and de
vices." Neuner's opinion today follow
ed a previous directive to Mult
nomah County Sheriff Martin
Pratt which informed Pratt he
must seize all gambling devices,
even when they pay off in mer
chandise. Pratt asserted earlier
that the merchandise machines
were perfectly legal.

Storm Making in the Caribbean Sea
New Orleans, Sept. 20 (IP) Fifty-five persons are believed
to have died in yesterday's hurricane, unofficial reports indi
cated today as national guardsmen moved in force into the
stricken Mississippi-Alabama area.
Tourists were barred from the Mississippi gulf coast, one of the
nation's favorite vacation spots. The naval reserve armory at
Gulfport warned sightseers to stay off the debris-strewn coast.
Gov. Fielding Wright of Mississippi and his adjutant general
sped to the Biloxl-Gulfport-Pass Christian area where 12 persons
are believed to have died.
The threat of wholesale looting was acute, and along the Mis
sissippi coast National Guard units and army troops from nearby
Deesler field were under orders to shoot to kill.
At Bay Minettc, Ala., Sheriff Taylor Wilkins reported a National
Guard detachment was sent to Alabama beach after looting oc
curred. Meanwhile, as the great
storm spent its final violence!
in diminishing intensity south
west of Shreveport, the Miami
weather bureau reported a new
hurricane in the making. This
disturbance appeared boiling up
out of the Caribbean, west of
Jamaica, and hurricane-hunter
planes took off to probe it.
Thjrd Storm Watched
A third storm, now a week
old, was centered 3,000 miles
southwest of Miami, and also
was being kept under surveil
lance.
Between New Orleans, Red
Cross officials investigated a re
port that four persons drowned
in St. Bernard Parish. Terrific
devastation was inflicted on the
bay country, with whole villages
carried away by wind and tides.
Lake Borgne backed into Ba
you Bienvenue, broke through a
railroad embankment and flood
ed a sizeable section of eastern
New Orleans.
Police said 2000 had been
evacuated from an area 25
blocks long and 16 blocks wide
now under water. There wore
no estimates of its depth.
The storm, as it hit Shreveport
and moved northwest into Texas
and Oklahoma, was nothing like
the terrific, 100-mile terror that
struck the coast early yesterday

other causes.
No bodies had been recovered,
he said, but added five were
known to be dead in the Pass
Christian, Miss., area.
ine entire coastal area was
isolated. Communications still
were difficult this morning.
Refugees continued to pour in
to shelters.
Landmarks Swept Away
Familiar landmarks all along
the gulf coast were swept away
New Orleans and the gulf
coast began to count its cost. Un
told damage was done to sugar
cane between here and Baton
Rouge and north of the slate
capital. Thousands of acres
were flattened. F. Evans Far
rell, New Orleans cane grower,
pointed out that "it takes a 120
mile wind to snap cane off at
the ground."
At least 20 persons were treat
ed here for minor injuries re
sulting from the storm. Most
were cut by flying glass or hit
by debris sailing through the air.
The central fire station said said
that between 200 and 300 fires
were extinguished yesterday and
last night. Most were blamed on
broken electric connections and
falling wires.
The weather bureau said the
hurricane in its dying convul
sions would make its way with
rain and squalls into southern
Arkansas and that by Saturday
afternoon the winds should have
diminished to 25 to 35 miles per
hour with rain confined to Ar
kansas and portions of adjacent

To Increase U. S.
Forces in Reich
Washington, Sept. 20 IP)
Senator Bridges (R-N. H.) said
today he will insist that United
States controls be increased over
the American and British occu
pied zones in Germany if we as
sume a larger share of these
costs.
Bridges told reporters "What
I want to make sure of is that we
dont' have to pay all the bills."
The cost is now borne equally by
the two countries but Britain re
cently asked the U. S. to pay a
greater share.
Bridges, as chairman of the
senate appropriations committee,
called a special session today to
hear top-ranking armed service
officials at a closed door session.
Bridges said that army depart
ment officials are asking-informal
congressional approval of
plans to spend a part of $600,
000,000 voted by the last con
gress for occupation costs
throughout the world at a great
er rale than intended.
If the United States assumes a
part of the occupation costs now
paid by England, this appropria
tion will not last until next July
1. Officials probably would seek
a deficiency or supplemental ap
propriation when congress
meets.
Bridges told reporters that
army department officials re
garded the problems as "urgent"
and one which could not be de
ferred until after both senate and
house members return from in
spection trips to Europe.
In announcing today s commit
tee meting, Bridges said it would
take up "grave foreign and do
mestic problems." It was indi

problems in Germany topped
the agenda.
