Seattle, March 16 m The

The charges were contained in
a complaint filed at Prosser to

Division Manager J. L. Heath
cote issued a statement in which
he said:
"This case should be of inter

appears to be a crusade to raise
prices, launched by the attorney
general at the behest of a group
of Safeway competitors."
He identified the latter as the
Inland Empire Food Retailers

He got a ninth consecutive no

'Safeway cannot and will not
participate in any concerted
trade activities designed to fix
prices, with or without the ap

activities are not only morally
wrong, but are definitely con
trary to the federal anti-trust
act, and remain so even when
such activities have as a party
to them the pre-arranged cooper

the state. For Safeway to parti

French Battle on Commies Is
South Pacific Fight All Over
Editor'! Note: The French fliht against the eommuntat-Ied luerrllle In Indo

operation! on Guadalcanal.
By ROBERT C. MILLER
(United Preaa 8taf( Correspondent)
With French Forces in the Mekong River Delta, Indo-Cliina,
March 16 (U.R) This battle in the Mekong River delta is the South
Pacific war all over again, with the same equipment, the same
heat, the same green hell.
I went along on a dawn amphibious attack against an estimated
300 Vietminh rebels holding an
island in this great delta. Amcr-
ican veterans ol me racmc
would have recognized every
thing except the language, which
was French.
This is the French fight against
the communist-led guerrillas of
Ho Chi-Minh.
The operation by French and
native troops was a pincers
movement, with attempted land
ings on opposite sides of the
four-mile-wide Bassac island
supported by aerial reconnais
sance and naval fire.
Troops boarded the same land
ing craft and barges on which
thousands of Americans made
similar excursions. There was
that familiar mugginess of the
tropical dawn and throbbing of
diesels as the barges moved
down river.
Your LCI noses cautiously
through three miles of jungle-
bordered canal and you have the
feeling that every move of the
invasion flotilla is being watch
ed. This is Vietminh territory,
and their ambushes have blocked
the canal, which the French are
attempting to clear.
The LCI butts its bow into a
slimy mudbank, the gang plank
is lowered and the troops hit
the beach" just at sunrise.
The area aparently was a
guerrilla bivouac. It is pitted
with trenches and foxholes. Now
it is deserted and the landings
are unopposed.
You attach yourself to a squad
of black-shirted Cambodian na
tives in short pants, commanded
by tall, bereted Master Sergeant
C. Chesmais of Boulogne. Ches-
mais forms a point, sends out
barefooted scouts, and starts in
land. .
Within an hour the squad is
dripping wet, partly from strug
gling through knee-deep swamps
but mostly from the pressure-
cooker heat that steams out of
the ground as the sun gets high
er. Once you flop in the shade for
change to
get ZOiXffflWfiS
five minutes but get up covered
with stinging ants.
Hour after hour the squad
pushes through the swamps and
you pity the machine-gunners
and mortarmen burdened with
those heavy pieces.
There is no sign of guerrillas.
The squad returns to the beach
head.
There is a lengthy exchange
of rifle and machinegun fire
from the interior, and through
your binoculars you see tiny
figures maneuvering and shoot
ing into a banana grove on the
far side of the swamp a mile
and a half away. A puff of
blue-gray smoke sprouts from
the grove and the crack of burst
ing rirtillcry shells drifts across
the heat-drenched delta.
Army Commander J. Finck of
Paris radios that he has engaged
some rebels inside a fortified
village. The guerrillas with
drew when subjected to artillery
fire. Now he is going to burn
their fortifications.
French officers explain that
village-burning is done only in
extreme cases such as this, when
troops are fired on from the
villages.
You sit on a log first making
sure it is antless and watch the
distant clouds of heavy smoke
as the village goes up in flames.
A philosopher could write elo
quently about that smoke, using
it as a symbol of all wars and
the misery and suffering accom
panying them.

Oregon Hop
Prices Firm
Portland, March 16 UP) Ore
gon hop markets were quiet dur
ing late February and early
March, the U. S. department of
agriculture reported today.
Prices, however, were firm to
slightly higher than in the pre
vious period. Few sales were re
ported, since not many hops
were available for marketing.
Trade sources estimated that
less than 1,000 bales of 1949 Or
egon hops were unsold, and most
of the prospective 1950 crop is
already under contract.
A few contracts were written
this month at 65 and 66 cents a
pound covering 1950 seeded
clusters.
Attlee Bows to
Stork in Row
London, March 16 (P) Prime
Minister Attlee took cognizance
today of the stork and modified
the hotly controversial order
making Seretse Khama and his
white bride exiles from their
African tribal kingdom.
Attlee said the Negro king
might live in his British-pro
tected homeland until his Eng
lish wife bears the child she ex
pects late in June.
News of the government's
modified position leaked out aft
er a private caucus of Attlee and
labor party members. Many of
them had angrily criticized their
leaders, saying they were pan
dering to the race prejudices of
British commonwealth nations
in Africa.
But both Attlee and Patrick
Gordon-Walker, his minister for
commonwealth relations, stress
ed the government's five-year
banishment order would be in
voked after' Seretse's wife has
her baby. Then all three of
them will be called on to leave.
Seretse will be asked to prom
ise not to stir up tribal antagon
ism. Whether he accepts re
mains to be seen.
Seretse said in an interview
earlier this week he'd go back
to the British Bechuanaland as
soon as he got an okay from the
British government.
He had accused Britain of
"double crossing" him in induc
ing him to come to London for
talks and then slapping down Its
banishment order.

Capital Journal, Salem, Ore.,
House Passes Bill Tightening
Security on Nation's Secrets
Washington, March 16 (U.R) The house Wednesday passed and
sent to the senate legislation tightening security clamps on the
government's secrets and stiffening penalties for espionage.
In direct reaction to recent spy trials, the house gave the bill
overwhelming approval by a 368 to 2 roll call vote.
The votes against the bill f 1
were cast by Reps. Vito Marcan- sey took consolation. New mem
tonio, (AL-NY) and Adam Clay- Ders votc(j jn were Mrs. Les Rey-
ton Powell (D-NY)
The bill was a slightly revised
version of legislation prepared
by the government's interdepart
mental intelligence committee, a
group representing the top agen
cies charged with guarding our
atomic, military and other top
secrets.
Main provision stricken out of
the bill as written by the intel
ligence committee was one
which legalized the use of evi
dence obtained by wire tapping,
Chairman Emanuel Celler, (D-
NY), said his judiciary commit
tee voted to leave out that sec
tion.
Besides tightening present
laws, the bill extends the statute
of limitations from 3 to 10 years
for certain types of prosecutions
for theft of government secrets
and hands the president extra
ordinary powers to invoke new
regulations to protect military
and other information.
The legislation also:
1. Doubles the penalty for
conspiracy to reveal national se
crets to $10,000 fine or 10 years
in prison.
2. Makes failure to register as
a foreign agent a continuing of
fense, and thus postpone any
statute of limitations on that of
fense. 3. Requires registration of ev
eryone who might "have know
ledge of or have received in
struction in" spying or sabotage
from a foreign country or poli
tical party. Exceptions were
made' for those trained for gov
ernment .purposes.
4. Gives the president and de
fense secretary power to make
their own special regulations in
peacetime to protect military
stations and materiel. The presi
dent also is given power to ex
tend those regulations to any
area he desires in time of war
or national emergency.
