Russia Aims to Create
3 New Spheres in Asia
Washington, Feb. 16 VP) Highly placed diplomats here believe
that Russia is maneuvering to create three distinct spheres of
communist control In Asia, South of Siberia. Concern for Rus
ssia's own security appears to be the primary factor.
This objective, according to the experts, probably was behind
the Soviet strategy in the Rus
sian-Chinese conference which
went on in Moscow for the past
nine weeks.
The first sphere embraces
Manchuria, inner Mongolia, out
er Mongolia and Sinkiang.
These are the vast, tradition
ally Chinese, border areas which
Secretary of State Acheson says
the Russians are taking away
from China and adding to the
Soviet Union. To the extent that
Russia controls these areas di
rectly or through trusted agents
it will have a buffer zone be
tween the Soviet Union proper
and the Asiatic states in eastern
Europe form a buffer against
the west.
The second spitere is China.
Even though the Chinese nation
now under communist rule,
experts here believe the Rus
sians feel they cannot rely on
Chinese economic and political
stability for the predictable fu
ture. Therefore, while main
taining the closest possible rela
tions with Red China and domi
nating Chinese internal and for
eign policies, they will not ex
pect the same degree of secur
ity for Russia through their al
liance with China as they pre
sumably seek to establish in the
northern borderlands.
The third sphere: Indochina,
Burma, Siam and Malaya are
believed in Washington to be
marked out for the next stage
of communist expansion in Asia.
The cold war struggle for Indo
china has already begun. This
southeast Asian region, being
more remote from Russia, may
be the primary responsibility of
the Chinese communists, rath
er than of Moscow.
117 Approved

The Salem civil service com-
mission gave provisional ap
'proval Wednesday afternoon for
tthe addition of 17 names to the
.'eligible roster for duty with the
police department.
The 17 represented the suc-
scessful applicants who passed
tests given to some 49 candi
dates. Final approval for the 17

examination and a check of
e other qualifications such as resi
2 dence.
A total of 11 men on the list
'approved by the commission
tare already on duty with the
department. They were assigned
to work because there was no
lellelble list for policemen. Two
J such provisional employes who
.took the examination failed in
written and oral tests before the

; To bring the police force to
sfull strength, three men from
the approved list, not including
Bmen who are already working

Bean Talks on
Auditorium
The long-dormant public
movement to construct a Salem
civic auditorium was rejuven
ated in a meeting at the Cham
ber of Commerce Wednesday
night. The turnout was small,
but those who attended were en
thusiastic in getting the project
rolling once again.
Ormand R. Bean, Portland city
commissioner, told the group
how Portland is conducting its
drive to build a huge civic aud
itorium in that city. He sug
gested that Salem backers of the
auditorium movement seek to
inaugurate a financing plan simi
lar to the one now tentatively
set up in Portland.
That plan, said Bean, would
be for the city to finance the
building originally, then place a
mortgage on the building. Bean
explained that the income of
the auditorium would be mort
gaged as well as the building it
self. All profits derived from
productions in the auditorium
would thus go toward paying off
the debt to the city.
Bruce Williams, chairman of
the Salem Memorial auditorium
association board of directors,
announced that .a group of com
mittees will be appointed with
in two weeks to further investi
gate such matters as location,
financing, etc.
It is the aim of those planning
the auditorium to have the struc
ture so designed that it could be
