terday.

the DC-3 left the ground with
out clearance."
The aerial joy-rider buzzed
low over the sleeping city for
14 nilnutes as Malther called the
plane's owners, Northern Con
solidated Airlines, who notified
police.
When they arrived, the plane
had been abandoned In the mid
dle of the runway. A taxi was

wnus or nydro-electric power
will be made available to Fact
fic northwest power systems
some time Sunday evening
when the No. 5 generator at
Bonneville dam is returned to
service, according to the Port
land district, Corps of Engineers.

service since February 18 for
extensive repairs to the genera
tor windings due to the failure
of the armature connecting ring
which occurred on that date.
Army engineers said repairs
are now complete and the gen
erator is running on "dry-out
and test." New material In gen
erator windings must be dried
out by running the generator
short-circuited, they said. The
No, 5 generator will bo restored
to service only after It has been
thoroughly dried out and tested
County Zoned
For Chest Rays
Marion county has been di
vided geographically, Into three
sections for the 1950 chest X
ray campaign that will be con
ducted under the sponsorship of
the Marion County Tuberculosis
and Health association.
The survey will be concentrat
ed in the north county area with
house calls being made to inform
residents of the benefits to be
gained. Three X-ray units will
operate in that portion of the
county April 3-21, with locations
and hours to be announced.
The other areas in which the
survey will be conducted are
Salem proper and the southern
portion of the county.
Mrs. Loraine Ricdman of the
Oregon Tuberculosis and Health
association and Kenneth Broyles
of the Oregon State Board of
Health, conferred recently with
local health authorities concern
ing the forthcoming campaign.
Mrs. RIedman pointed out that
in analyzing the chest X-ray sta
tistics for the five years of op
eration, it was determined that
the number of new persons be
ing examined each year has been
decreasing.
'Since the surveys have not
reached a significant percent
age of the adult population in
any one area in Oregon, it is
not possible to determine the
extent of the tuberculosis prob
lem," said Mrs. Riedman.
Local authorities hope to reach
80 percent of the adult popula
tion in the county during the
1050 survey.
Deny Truman
Led Red Fight
Washington, March 3 (JP) Re
publicans challenged today Pres
ident Truman's assertion that he
has taken the lead in rooting
communists out of the govern
ment. Instead, Senator Bricker (R.,
Ohio), said, the president had
acted "only when congress was
so close on his heels he felt he
had to do something."
Senator McCarthy (R., Wis.),
said congress, not the president,
"dug up the facts" about com
munists. Senator Ferguson (R., Mich),
objected, too, to the president's
news conference statement of
yesterday that he alone has made
any concrete effort to get at the
bottom of the security prob
lem arising from communist ac
tivities in the government.
Mr. Truman didn't do any
thing about getting Alger Hiss
out of the government, Fergu
son observed.
Hiss, former state department
official who resigned to take a
private job, was convicted of
lying about meetings with an
admitted communist courier who
said he got secret government
papers from Hiss.
"The state department had the
facts about Hiss as early as 1945
but it didn't do anything about
getting rid of him and there
wasn't any prosecution until aft
er the congressional hearings
which Mr. Truman described as
a 'red herring,' " Ferguson said.

Rioting in France
Over U. S. Arms
Paris, March 3 VP) The first
boatload of arms that reaches
France from America probably
will set off a riot and this may
be a good thing for France.
Arms are expected early this
month under the military pro
gram. In America the date of such
shipments Is a secret. It almost
certainly won't be a. secret on
arrival in France.
Every port is honeycombed by
communist agents. They are de
termined to carry out the par
ty's threat to prevent the land
ing of any arms that will build
up France's military strength.
French morale is about as
low as it has been at any time
since the war. This is the view
not only of British and Ameri
can diplomatic observers, but
numbers of Frenchmen as well.
The country has had a disquiet
ing series of reverses and can t
seem to do anything to help It
self to get out of the doldrums.
For generations, France took
pride in her military prowess,
but not since the debacle of
World War II.
Russia recently recognized the
independence of Ho Chi Minh,
the guerrilla leader in Indochi
na. France has seen days when
she would have gone to war
about such a thing. But not now.
She sent a note of protest.
Production Credit
Work Outlined
Philip M. Brandt, secretary
treasurer of the Willamette Pro
duction Credit association out
lined operations of his organiza
tion Friday for members of the
Salem Credit association.
Brandt pointed out that quasi
governmental operations of the
Willamette Production Credit
association were aimed at pro
viding farmers with credit.
He detailed problems of esti
mating farmer's repayment abil
ity when their incomes are sea
sonal and fluctuate and when
weather is an important factor
in the success of their operation.
A priority system based on
necessities, needs and wants, he
said, was used in evaluating re
quests for credit.

Ask Ousting of
John Strachey
London, March 3 (PI Lord
Beaverbrook's anti - laborite
press stepped up its campaign
for the ouster of War Minister
John Strachey today by challen
ging him to prove he has ever
openly disavowed communism.
The challenge was the Eve
ning Standard's reply to a state
ment from No. 10 Downing
street, the official residence of
Prime Minister Attlee, saying
Strachey, a leftwinger disowned
the communist party in 1940.
Strachey, former food minis
ter who was named war minis
ter in the new labor cabinet this
week, has declined to issue any
statement now. But in 1938
when his beliefs got him into
trouble with U.S. authorities on
visits to America he told news
men: 'I am not and never have
been a member of the commun
ist party or the third interna
tional." Yesterday's Evening Standard
and this morning's Daily Ex
press, both Beaverbrook news
papers, played up some of
Strachey's pro-communist state
m e n t s that caused concern to
U.S. immigration authorities be
fore the war.
The Standard started the cam
paign yesterday by calling Stra
chey an "avowed communist'
who should be removed from
office. The Morning Express
followed up in similar vein.
Mass Expulsion of
Germans in Poland
Berlin, March 3 iP) A new
mass expulsion of Germans
from Polish territory began to
day.
A train load of 689 expellees
arrived in western Germany as
the vanguard of possibly 60,000
being sent out of the former
German border territory in an
action intended to harden the
Ordcr-Neisse line into a perma
nent frontier.
Polish and east German com
munist officials meeting in Stet

Atomic Stuff
Shipped Russia
Washington, March 3 (IP) G.
Racey Jordan, a former air force
major, testified today that from
1942 to 1044 Russia got millions
of pounds of American lend-
lease materials he now knows
could be used in producing an
atomic bomb.
Jordan told the house un
American activities committee
the materials were cadmium,
graphite for furnaces, and alu
minum tubes, plus thorium.
He said he got his figures from
a complete record of lend-lease
shipments which a Russian offi
cer gave him at his request.
For a time during the war,
Jordan was stationed at the
Great Falls, Mont., air base.
That was at one end of an aerial
lend-lease pipeline that flowed
to Russia by way of Alaska. Jor
dan said it was his job to help
the Russians get what they need
ed.
Jordan was making his second
appearance before the house
committee. Last December he
testified that while he was at
Great Falls, the Russians sent
out shipments of uranium and
heavy water, plus big amounts
of diplomatic mail and baggage.
No republican members of the
committee were on hand to hear
him then. They asked that he be
recalled to repeat and amplify
has testimony.
Since then the committee has
heard numerous other witnesses
tell of wartime shipments of
atomic materials to Russia.
Romania to Oust
Allied Services
Bucharest, Romania, March 3
(IP) The American and British
legations have been asked to
close down their information
services here. No reason was
given.
Assistant Foreign Affairs Min
ister Grigore Preoteasa relayed
the notice to the American and
British ministers last night. The
information services provided a
library of American and British
periodicals and issued news bul
letins.
The action apparently is an
other development in the east
west dispute with three Russian
satellites Romania, Bulgaria
and Hungary.
The U.S. has broken diploma
tic relations with Bulgaria and
hinted it eventually may break
with Romania and Hungary.
