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.

Washington, Sept. 18 UP) The
navy lowered a gentle boom on
Capt. John G. 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

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. The money helped
cover expenses and was used in
rehabilitation work of down-and-outers
in Portland, he said.
Municipal Judge John Sea
brook and a deputy city attor
ney began an investigation, but
Seabrook said he would take no
action until he could confer with
Municipal Judge J. J. Quillin.

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."

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.
The new series of showers
brought the rainfall total for the
month to 1.29 inches, against a
normal of .69 of an inch for the
period.

year-old housewife, around
whom a rape case involving 10
men centered, died yesterday in

County Coroner Paul Mellin
ger said Mrs. Marie Charlton's

monia. Hospital authorities said

cused of the attacks on, Mrs.
Charlton three months ago but

thrown nude out of an automo
bile after 10 hours of assault. .

Tariff Cut Bill
Washington, Sept. 16 W) A
string of administration victor
ies in the senate gave President
Truman today the full tariff
cutting powers he demanded.
Foes of the reciprocal trade
agreements act failed in every
attempt yesterday to curb the
chief executive's authority un
der the 15-year-old law In
cluding efforts to keep a "peril
point proviso written Into It
by the republican-controlled
80th congress.
With the extension bill now
ready for his signature, trade
agreements with 10 more coun
tries are being prepared for Mr.
Truman's approval.
Experts of the U.S. and 10
other countries have already
agreed in negotiations at An
necy, France, on what they will
recommend to their govern
ments. Agreements based on
these recommendations are ex
pected to be ready for presiden
tial action early in October.
These agreements would be
with Denmark, Finland, Italy
Greece, Sweden, the Dominican
Republic, Haiti, Liberia, Uru
guay and Nicaragua.
State department officials
estimated today that if the pres
ident approves these treaties 75
to 80 percent of all ITS. for

imports will be carried on un
