New Pad for .
Atomic Energy
Washington, Sept. 20 UP) The
United States, Britain and Can
ada open negotiations today for
a new agreement on (1) ex
changing atomic secrets and (2)
sharing the uranium from which
the A-bomb is made. Their
war-born A-bomb partnership Is
at stake.
The negotiations it this stage
are wholly "exploratory" be
cause President Truman has
promised thit he will not make
any commitments until after
consulting congress.
In an atmosphere that was
only slightly less than com
pletely secret, representatives of
the three governments were
called together at the state de
partment (10:30 a.m. PST).
American officials are close
ly restricted as to what thev
can do or say about atomic en
ergy information -even within
the conference with the British
and Canadians. They are re
ported anxious to try to bring
some three-way understanding
as to the progress each nation
has achieved in atomic energy
and atomic bomb research and
development In the past two
years or so.
Yet their own hands are not
free for such an exchange and
presumably they would be un
able to tell the British and
French, for example, the size of
the U.S. atomic bomb stockpile
or the power and effectiveness
of the latest model weapons.
Morse Kept in
Bed on Hearing
Doctors refused to allow Sena
tor Wayne L. Morse to leave the
hospital Tuesday to attend the
pre-hearlng conference before
the civil aeronautics board in
Washington regarding the sub
stitution of West Coast Airlines
for United Air Lines service Jn
Salem.
Morse's administrative assis
tants were to be on hand at the
conference, however, and in a
telegram to the Capital Journal
Senator Morse said: "Just as
soon as I am able to leave hos
pital I will follow through and
give the matter my personal at
tention." He said he had con
siderable material on the ques
tion and was making a study of
the situation.
"I am feeling much better
and I am very anxious to get
back to the office but the doctor
thinks I should let muscles heal
a few days longer," Morse said.
He was injured in a fall here
during the State Fair horse show
and was in Salem General hos
pital until last Thursday when
he left for Washington. Upon
arrival there he was taken to the
Navy hospital at Bethesda, Mary
land. Sleen Talks on
CVA to Kiwanis
Lowell Steen, president of the
Oregon Farm Bureau Federation
urged members of his audience
to "read the bill' and analyze
what it really means as he spoke
concerning the proposed Colum
bia Valley Authority before
members of the Kiwanis club
Tuesday noon.
Steen declared the measure
carries powers so broad that they
wolud control the destinies of an
area of 255,000 square miles,
forming the largest corporation
the world has ever known.
The powers of the three men
who would govern the entire
northwest were almost beyong
belief, said Steen. They would
set up their own policies and
then pass Judgment as to the wis
dom of them.
In concluding his remarks.
Steen pointed to the phrase that
"all provisions of the act shall
be liberally construed.

Richard Dix, 54
Film Star Dies
Hollywood, Sept. 20 i Rich
ard Dix, 54, star of silent and
sound pictures, died today of a
heart ailment.
A frequent victim of heart at
tacks, he suffered his fatal at
tack in Chicago August 10, while
en route here from New York
by, train.
He later was flown here, but
had been sinking constantly in
the past few days.
With him when he died were
his wife, the former Virginia
Webster, and his physician. The
later said he had been conscious
almost until the end. In addi
tion to his widow, he is sur
vived by twin sons, Robert and
Richard, 13, and a daughter, Sue,
a.
For more than 15 years Dix
personified the male type dear
to the hearts of screen fans
the virile (and virtuous) out
doorsman. He was the hero of
scores of daring exploits in si
lent films and survived the tran
sition to sound to reach even
greater popularity.
Though his fame rests pri
marily on his western roles, Dix
often pointed out that of his 218
features, only seven were of the
horse opera" type. More often
he was cast as a historical or
pioneer figure; a hardy man.
equal to the task of taming and
building the west. His six feet
and 190 pounds of well-shaped
brawn and ruggedly handsome
face were made to order for his
heroic roles.
Prepare List
1850 Pioneers
A valuable historical record
containing the names of every
family living in Oregon in 1850,
is being prepared by David
Duniway, state archivist.
It is being compiled from fed
eral census records. The popu
lation of Oregon was 13,294 at
that time, and was concentrated
in the Willamette valley and on
the coast.
Duniway said 2.000 copies of
the book would be published
When it is finished, he will pre
pare a similar book for 1890
when the population of the
state was 317,704.
He said he has run Into some
tough problems. The worst is
the fact that the 1850 census
takers wrote down the family
names by ear, Instead of having
the family heads write them
down.
This resulted in some weird
spellings. For instance, the pio
neer Marion county Abst family
was spelled Apps in the census.
And the spellings given to
French-Canadian names are
something to behold, Duniway
said.
Duniway said the book would
be of great value to historians
and to persons who want to
trace their families. Every fam
ily head will be indexed, both
by sound and by spelling.

Ghost Village
In Everglades
Fort Lauderdale, Fla Sept. 20
tP) An abandoned village with
human bones strewn around has
been found deep in the Ever
glades. Three men from nearby Davie
Hully Stirling, William Hill
and L. P. Harvey made their
way to Ghost Village and
brought back a report of their
find, the Fort Lauderdale Daily
News said.
The village, located on a high
hammock, once contained about
a dozen buildings, including a
sugar mill, the men reported.
Bones of humans and animals
broken canoes, bits of pottery.
copper caldrons, and "every con
ceivable kind of debris" was
scattered among the rotting
buildings, they added.
All the buildings were of cy
press, held together with hand-
wrought nails of copper and
bronze.
Stirling, a war-time pilot, first
sighted the village from the air.
The trio then went as far as pos
sible toward the spot In a flat-
bottomed boat equipped with an
airplane propeller to skim over
the shallow water. Then they
hacked their way through thick
foliage and Jungle growth.
Stirling said the site Is about
10 miles from the intersection
of U.S. highway 27 and state
road 84 and 30 miles west of
Fort Lauderdale.
Search On for
Store Robbers
Salem detectives began an in
tensive search Tuesday for a trio
of navy men or deserters who
held up a South 12th street gro
cery store at gun point and
took a cash register containing
$75.
While one of the trio acted
as a lookout, two of the men
entered the W. L. Graen gro
cery and immediately ordered
the proprietor to open the regis
ter. Graen refused, telling the in
truders that the only person who
could open the register was
gone.
The apparent leader of the
three held Gaen, his daughter
Ramona and Thomas Fiscus
by threatening them with his
nickel plated revolver.
Bragging to the girl, the gun
man told her she was lucky not
to have tried anything because
he was an expert marksman.
When the thief carrying the
register reached the getaway
car nearly a block away, the
gunman left to Join them.
All three of the men were
variously attired in navy cloth
ing, leading detectives to he be
lief that the men were members
of the armed service or were
AWOL from duty.
An immediate check was in
stituted for AWOL suspects.
Bearcats Loss
Psychological
Willamette university's foot
ball coach, Chester Stackhouse.
told members of the Salem Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce Tues
day he knew how Winston
Churchill felt after Dunkirk.
Yet he went on to explain
that the 79-0 defeat from the
University of Idaho Vandals was
a psychological one. He claim
ed the Bearcats had a "small
school complex" and were ready
lor aefeat without making an
effort to win.
The break in mental attitude
of the Willamette crew came
when the team boarded a train
in Portland, the coach said.
"Physically we were equal to
or Digger than the Idaho team,"
Stackhouse said. "Even though
Idaho is a bigger school, no
team should ever be beaten by
that much if they put up a
fight.
"I think things will be differ
ent from now on," the coach
predicted.

Seek to Foreclose
Lien on Gelding
Complaint in circuit court by
W. F. Miles against W. E. Wheel
er seeks to foreclose on a lien
for alleged care of a seven-year
old gelding race horse named
Landing Barge.
Miles says in his complaint
that in March of this year he en
tered into an agreement with
Wheeler that he was to take care
of and train the horse and
consideration defendant was to
pay him half of the proceeds to
be realized from racing the
horse.
Miles says on August 7, prior
to the time the horse was to be
entered in races, Wheeler, with
out notice to the plaintiff and in
alleged breach of the agreement,
took possession of the horse and
has refused to return it or abide
by terms of the agreement. He
says he spent $306 caring for the
horse and wants it back with at
torney fee and costs.
The complaint fails to state
whether the horse ran in any
races or, if so, cashed in on any
of them.

Sub Cochino
'Sunk Spying'
Moscow, Sept. 20 The
Soviet publication Red Fleet
said today the U.S. submarine
Cochino exploded and sank "not
far from Murmansk" last month
in an American attempt to scout
out military information.
(A U.S. navy statement said
the Cochino sank while on "rou
tine cruise outside of Norwegian
territorial waters" on Aug. 28
One member of the Cochino's
crew was lost and six aboard the
Tusk, a sister submarine, perish
ed during rescue operations.)
Red Fleet said the place where
the Cochino sank is known to
Soviet authorities.
"By this token," the article
continued, "it has become clear
to the entire world that United
States naval circles feel it
possible to carry out 'training'
along Soviet shores not far from
one of the most important ports
of the USSR's northern waters
The article was headlined:
"A new reminder of the aggres
sive plans of the United States
in Europe's northern waters."
The newspaper said the Ame
rican submarine expedition un
der Capt. Roy S. Benson "had a
special significance, for obvious
ly certain experiments and in
vestigations were taking place."

Chiang Warns
Of Red Victory
Canton, Sept. 20 Wi Gener
alissimo Chiang Kai-Shek today
declared China would become a
vassal of Russia if the Chinese
communists win the civil war.
But the veteran nationalist
leader expressed confidence that
the communists cannot control
all China. .
Meantime, reports reaching
here said a revolt against nation
alist rule has broken out in the
Inner Mongolian province of
Suiyuan bordering the Russian
dominated Mongolian peoples re
public. (The Chinese communist ra
dio said the whole province had
surrendered).
One report said the revolt was
led by Gen. Tung Chi-Wu, who
commands an estimated 100.000
troops. This is quite plausible.
(The red broadcast heard in
San Francisco said Gen. Tung
led his forces over to the com
munists.) Gold Now King
Around World
New York, Sept. 20 De
valuation has made gold the king
around the world with the dol
lar as crown prince.
That's because gold still is the
yardstick of value for money,
and the United States has more
gold than anyone else, although
you can't exchange your paper
dollar for gold.
The United States treasury
price for gold is $35 a fine
ounce. When the British cut
their pound to $2.80 from $4.03,
they also raised the price of gold
to 250 shillings a fine ounce from
172 shillings 3 pence.
That puts the British pound
and British gold on the same de
valued footing against the Amer
ican dollar and American gold.
