Gels Two Precincts
The town of Jefferson will have
two precincts instead of one when
the May primary election is held.

an order calling for the two pre

made near the northern part of
the community along an east and
west line.
The statutes say that when any
single polling place has to accom
modate 500 or more voters, a di
vision shall take place. Jeffer

Power Disturbance
Caused by Storm
Scattered damage to power and
light service resulted from the
wind storm of Friday night, but,
considering the strength of the
wind, the service disturbances were
surprisingly small, according to
the Portland General Electric
Company.
In Salem a tree was blown down
at 15th and Court streets, causing
outages over a considerable area,
There was more trouble on rural
lines. Hubbard had considerable
trouble when two lines came to
gether and caused a short. Other
outages occurred at Woodburn, Mt.
Angel and Brooks.

Hereford Calf
Brings $2,169
. PENDLETON tfl The March
of Dimes got $2,169 from a tele
phone auction sale of a 960-pound
white face Hereford steer here
Thursday night.
The animal was donated by Irvin
Mann, owner of the well known
MM Hereford ranch at Adams near
here. A Pendleton radio station
conducted the Dutch-style auction,
which lasted 3 hours and 26 min
utes with a $2 per bid limit.
Rafael Raymond, Helix, and
Mrs. John Steiner, Pendleton, won
the steer. They placed their calls
the instant the alarm clock set
for the ending of the auction
went off. They will have to work
out the ownership.
There were 599 bids. These were
all of the 2,036 calls which could
be handled by the station's switch
board, telephone company operat
ors said. They reported receiving
calls from as far distant as Minne
apolis, Honolulu, Phoenix, Ariz.,
Portland and Seattle.
Big 3 Arrive
(ConUmcd from Pe 1)
shortly by
Bidault, who came in
by train from Paris. Eden stopped
off in Duesseldorf on his way to
Berlin and told reporters at the
airfield there "nobody oui expect
a full solution to the problem (of
Germany) can be found in a mat
ter of a few weeks."
Eden Hopeful
Later, on his arrival in Berlin,
Eden voiced hope that a "decisive
step toward the reunification . of
Germany could be taken," but
counselled determination, firm
ness and patience.
Speaking to newsmen before his
departure from London, Eden
warned:
"A conference like this must
take time. For my part as long)
as we are making any progress at
all, I am ready to devote any
time that may be necessary."
Dulles also had expressed cau
tion about the parley's prospects
when he left Washington. "If the
Soviet leaders come to Berlin with
a genuine desire to create condi
tions of peace," he told reporters,
"they will find us open minded
and cooperative. . ."
Adenauer Sees Chance
But he queried: "Will Germany
and indeed all Europe be unified
for peace? Or will divisions be
imposed which will make Europe
again the breeder of war?"
The most optimistic statement
came from west German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer, sitting on
the conference sidelines. He told
the foreign affairs committee of
the Bonn Parliament that there
existed a real chance for the unifi-
cation of East and West Germany
in the Berlin talks.
This was an about face from the
previous view in the West Ger
man capital, where most German
officials have felt that nobody real
ly wanted the parley and it was
therefore doomed to failure.

finished. The place for flood
control dams is on the Salmon or
Clearwater or below where these
rivers enter the Snake, he said.
Idaho Power's dams will be as
helpful to navigation as the gov
ernment high dam, he insisted,
and more helpful to recreation.
And over the 50 years esti
mated to be required for repay
ment of the government invest
ment he said the company's pro
ject would pay nearly half a bil
lion in taxes of all kinds.
Ball said sale prices of Hells
canyon power will have to be
about twice what the government
now charges in the northwest to
provide for 50-year repayment,
which means a higher power rate
all over the region. He .said the
intelligent thing to do is for the
governmen to let the Idaho Pow
er company build the dams in its
territory, it providing all its sur
plus current to the northwest
power pool, while the govern
ment uses any funds it can spare
for building dams on the lower
Snake, which have already been
approved by congress, as Hells
canyon has not been.
Ball said his company s own
power needs would call for build
ing the three dams one by one,
with completion of the last one
about 1962, but that if directed
bv the commission it will build
them all at once, with completion
of all within 38 months, the sur
plus power to go to the north
west power pool until needed by
the company itself. Bv this time
the government would nave am
ple time to build dams on other
sites.
The speaker said his company
has wanted to make an appear
ance in Salem before but did not
wish to present its material until
it had first been presented to
the Fedaral Power commission,
which will make the determina
tion as to which project best
serves the public interest.

BROTHERHOOD WEEK PROCLAIMED
In the presence of a committee representing) Catholics,
Protestants and Jews Governor Paul L. Patterson Friday issued
a proclamation encouraging the week of George Washington's
birthday as Brotherhood Week. In the picture, from left, David
O'Hara, Saul Bloomberg, Judge Val D. Sloper, all co-chairmen,
Governor Patterson, Arthur Atherton, chairman, and Irving
Enna, Portland, chairman. The movement is sponsored by the
National Conference of Christians and Jews.
May Ask Court
(Continued from Pagg 1)
Senator Eugene E. Marsh,
chairman of the board, agreed
that it certainly was the legis
lative intent, and favored the re
quest for a declaratory judgment,
saying that the only question
was whether the emergency
board had authority to make the
request or some individual should
file the request.
J. D. Annand, Fortlanad archi
tect employed by the State Board
of Control to prepare plans for
the new institution, told the
emergency board that after view
ing many similar institutions in
various parts of the country, he
found that it was considered poor
policy to locate such an insti
tution "in sight of any other
cenal institution."
For that reason we must, in my
opinion, purchase land removed
from any other institution ot sut-
ficient size to permit profitable
farming and large enough lor
future expansion."
Must See Ahead
Annand recommended a piece
of land ranging in size from 275
to 320 acres.
"You are building a small
town, not an institution," An
nand declared, "and therefore
you must look into the future."
Sen. Marsh, acting in his ca
pacity as President of the Senate,
named Sen. Geo. A. Ulctt of Coos
The weather bureau said the
warmer weather was caused by a
low pressure area moving in from
the southwest and forcing the cold
air bothering the area earlier to
the north. The wind was stronger
in the Portland region, gusts there
going as high as 70 miles an hour
last night.

the board.
On motion of Senator Howard
Belton, the clerk of the board
was directed to send a letter of
sympathy to Mrs. Walker.
Parole Board Requests
George Huggins chairman of the
state board of parole and proba
tion requested $13,467 from the
board to cover the cost of paying
mileage for private cars and fees
for automobiles in the car pool
during the remainder of the bien-
mum.
Huggins as well as H. M. Ran
dall, secretary, told the board that
the money was needed because the
attorney general had ruled au
state cars must bear the state
seal.
"It is a distinct handicap to our
work to be required to mark cars
used by members of our staff in
the field," said Randall. "But be
cause of the opinion, we sold our
cars to the department of finance
and 11 of our men are using their
private cars.
Cost of Operating Cars
Randall said that the department
was able to operate their own cars
at a cost of 4.8 cents a mile but
under the new arrangement it will
cost from 6 to 7 cents a mile,
hence the need of the additional
money.
E. L. Peterson, director of agri
culture, requested $7,375 to equip
and operate a diagnostic labora
tory at Oregon State college
test blood of beef cattle suspected
of being infected with leptospirosis,
a newly discovered disease diag
nosed prevalent in herds of cattle
in 29 of the 36 Oregon counties.
Peterson said that it was
not
until 1931 that the disease was pos
itively diagnosed in Oregon and
much aid was obtained through the
federal laboratory at Hamilton,
Montana, now closed.

Indian Guards
(Contlntud from Pago 1)
Some of the freed prisoners had
been in stockades almost from tha
start of the Korean War 3 ' year
ago.
Allied insistence that no prison-.
ers be forced to go home against :
their will was a major stumbling
block in the prolonged armlstict
talks.
The pro-Red American, British
and South Korean POWs staged a
sitdown strike in their compound.
The purpose was to back the Com- .
munist position that they should
be held until their fate is decided
by a Korean peace conference.
But it was considered likely that '
when their food runs out they will
march north and vanish be
hind the Iron Curtain.
Reject Final Appeal
Tho Indian command made
final appeal Friday for the Reds
to accept the pro-Communist pris
oners, but it was rejected.
Instead, the Reds warned In
dian Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya it
would consider the Indians re
sponsible for seeing that there is
no "abduction and dispersion ot
the pro-Reds.
The Indian commander met '
with leaders of the pro-Red com
pound, U.S. Sgt. Richard G. Cor-
den of East Providence, R. I.,
British Marine Andrew Condron
and three leaders of the South Ko
rean POWs. -
"He Ngave them his position,"
an Indian spokesman said, "name
ly that by midnight we shall with- .
draw our guards, withdraw our
custody and shell have nothing to
do with them."
Can Leave if They Want
The prisoners probably would
have little trouble leaving the un
guarded compound, however, since
it is surrounded by only two
SHnMa t ...iH
BUBIIUB US VIIC.
The Reds also bitterly accused
the Indian command of "complete
ly" wrecking the truce terms on
POWs and warned them they must
be responsible for seeing that there
is no "abduction and dispersions '
of the pro-Communist POWs.
While the Reds were protesting,
Gen. John E. Hull, U. N. Far East
commander, wrote Thimayya
praising the "humane, efficient
and expeditious manner in which
anti-Communist ' Korean and Chi
nese personnel were transferred."
