2 Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Friday, Sept. 16, 1949 Power Outlook Navy Officers ' For Winter Good Warned on Talk Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 18 U. The northwest electrical pow er outlook for the winter of 1940-50 appears better than that of last year but the public may still be called upon to conserve, an official said here today. Gui Norwood, Vancouver, Wash., executive secretary of the northwest public power as socition meeting in convention here, said activation on three new generators at Grand Coulee dam would increase regional output by 360.000 kilowatts, or 12 percent. Two of the gener ators are in operation now and a third will be put in operation next month. An additional 155,000 kilo watts will be available from Kerr dam, Aerial dam, the Eu gene, Ore., dam and from Brit ish Electric railways. Norwood said the risk of low water or a bad freeze which would curtail power is about "one in 10." "However," he said, "there Is certainly no sur plus of power nor an adequate operating reserve and In the event of a major breakdown In generators or transmission lines the public may be called upon to conserve." Acheson Raos Ban on Aliens Washington, Sept. 18 WV-Vigorous opposition by Secretary of State Acheson to proposed legislation aimed at tightening immigration barriers against subversive aliens was disclosed today. He has written Chairman Mc Carran (D-Nev) of the senate judiciary committee, author of the bill, that the legislation would "drast 1 c a 1 1 y interfere" with the conduct of U.S. foreign relations. One part of the bill, Acheson said, "would virtually result in a break of diplomatic relations, at least with all communist-dominated countries, and perhaps with others as well." He added "it would also im pair the activities and functions of the United Nations and might even render impossible the maintenance of its headquarters In the United States." The bill on which a Judiciary subcommittee now is holding hearings would arm the govern ment with new powers to block the entry of subversive aliens and to throw out any already here. Acheson's letter was dated July 15. McCarran now is on his way to Europe and the letter was made public by Senator O'Conor (D-Mdl, acting chair man of the subcommittee. Escapee Benson Starts for Oregon Columbus, O., Sept. 18 W) William P.

Crommelin and then quickly admonished all Its other officers today against speaking out publicly like Crom melin did. Secretary Matthews, announc ing that Crommelin's public and vigorous criticism of service uni fication "obviously disqualified" him for continuing to work for the high-level joint chiefs of staff, plucked him out of that job. He was sent to duty with the navy's air warfare division, which is an important cog in the navy's operating organization but doesn't deal in high policy making like the Joint chiefs of staff. For a time yesterday it looked as though the aviator-captain would do even better than weather the storm which his protest against Pentagon treat ment of the navy stirred up last Saturday. The word was passed to re porters during the morning that, yes, Crommelin was being trans ferred from his job in the joint chiefs group. But, reporters were told, he was going into position just vacated by a rear admiral, director of naval avia tion personnel. Then sometime between morning and late afternoon Mat thews presumably told whoever had arranged the new assign men for Crommelin to withdraw the order because he had other ideas about the captain's next assignment. Today the navy moved to make sure there isn't a repeti tion of the Crommelin incident.

Claim Prisoners Bought Releases Porti-nd, Sept. 18 (Pi An In vestigatlon began today into a charge several city prisoners "bought" their release from jail here. Three prisoners asserted they had been released to work on Tony Fazio's farm, and that Fa zio had deducted $20 to $100 from their wages. They said they understood the money was paid for their release from Jail. Fazio denied it. He said he had an agreement with the city to help paroled prisoners In reha bilitation.

Atlantic Area Police Force Washington, Sept. 18 W Earmarking 10 to 25 percent of the funds in the foreign arms bill for the establishment of an Atlantic area police force was proposed today by a bipartisan group of senators. The police force would be composed of volunteers from the smaller European nations and would be under command of the defense committee pro vided for in the North Atlantic treaty. The proposed amendment to the $1,314,000,000 military as sistance bill also would state that a fundamental objective of U. S. policy Is to seek revision of the United Nations charter to establish effective world arms control backed by an interna tional police force. The Atlantic police force force would be used as a nucleus for the development of such an international police force. The 11 senators who offered the amendment included Sena tor Cain (R., Wash.). They said the real issue in the arms bill, which the senate is to take up Monday, "is to make sure that United States aid for ous Atlantic pact allies will not be frittered away."

Hack er (7), Rush (loi and Shelling, Jones Talks on Constitution Although the constitution of the United States, considered one of the greatest of human docu mcnts, was written within t space of three months, it's ac complishment was not without much dissention. This was pointed out by Rob ert Letts Jones, assistant pub lisher of the Capital Journal during . a "Constitution Day' talk before the Salem Board of Realtors Friday noon as the members resumed their weekly luncheons following the summer vacation. Delegates of the 13 original states had met for the purpose of adopting articles of confeder ation after a number of delays had been encountered. They were suspicious of centralized oower while! others were set on keeping the larger states from gaining control. In sessions that were barred to everyone besides the dele gates and in which all were warned against passing out any scrap of information, the consti tution was adopted Sept. 17 1787. "It is a bit difficult now to comprehend the thinking of those days, said Jones after de tailing some of the Incidents leading up to the framing of the constitution. "The press, such as it was in those days, was bar red absolutely from the delibera tions and only one copy of the proceedings was made. One dele gate went so far as to suggest that the single copy be destroy ed in order that no Information regarding the framing of the constitution could be divulged.' Average age of the 55 dele gates involved was 44 years while Benjamin Franklin at 81 was considered the elder states- i man. Alexander Mammon was but 30 while two others were in their 20s. .46 Inch of Rain Falls in Salem Nearly a half inch of rain came down in the 24-hour per iod ending at 10:30 a.m. Friday I in Salem, .46 of an inch being recorded.
