Barbs Hurled
Al Milk Board
By Legislators
Emergency Session
Delays Approval
Of More Funds
By JAMES D. OLSON
Approval of a request for $12,632
additional funds for the milk mar
keting administration was held up
by the State Emergency Board
Friday pending investigation by
Harry Dorman, director of finance
and administration.
Some sharp barbs were hurled at
the milk board and Rep. Francis
iiegler of Corvallis, who first sug
gested delaying approval of the re-
quest by the board, predicting that
the me of the board would be short.
This board will soon be abolish
ed entirely, either by a vote of the
people or by the 1955 Legislature,"
Ziegler said, "so why spend money
on a board doomed to extinction?"
Rep. Robert Root of Medford said
said that while he didn't like oper
ation of the milk board "one nick
el's worth" he did not feel it the
function of the emergency board to
pass on law.
No Rancor, Gibson Urges
Sen. Angus Gibson of Junction
City defended the board, saying it
was composed of some fine men.
Gibson urged that consideration of
the board's request be dealt with
without any rancor.
Other members of the board,
deeming it wise to have a neutral
investigation, won Ziegler's approv
al to allowing Dorman to make the
investigation and report at the next
meeting of the emergency board,
February 11.

Dismissal Plea
Lost by Baney
LITTLETON, Colo, (fl - A mo
tion for acquittal of John H. Baney,
32-year-old merchant seaman from
Salem, Ore., charged with murder
in the death of a Denver woman,
has been dismissed by Dist Judge
Harold H. Davies.
The denial Friday was one of
two blows to Defense Attyi. Robert
Lee and Mark Shivers.
P. Rene Bidez. FBI laboratory
technician, testified that human
hair found in Bancy's car matched
that of Mrs. Dorothy H. Gall, 36,
who died Sept. 20 after telling offic
ers she was raped and beaten by
her escort.
Bidez added that bloodstains
found in the vehicle were of the
same type as Mrs. Gall s.
The defense countered with a
claim the woman died after she
was given a stimulant while under
treatment at an Englewood hos
pital.
Portland Digs
Out of Slides
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
City street crews were busy in
Portland Saturday clearing slides
which resulted from a week of rain
and snow.
A. M. Plebuch, general public
works foreman, said a big section
of scenic Southwest Terwilliger
Boulevard may be closed most of
the winter.
A big section of the route gave
way Saturday near the point where
a huge slide piled up debris 15 feet
deep and 500 feet wide. Plebuch
said the area is so soft (hat it is
too dangerous to bring in heavy
equipment.
A letup in the rain and snow Sat
urday morning and the prospect of
lighter precipitation over the week
end were generally welcomed in
Western Oregon. Forecasts ranged
from showers to snow flurries and
lower temperatures. The colder
weather was expected to improve
slide and flood conditions.
Cold Wave Hits
Valley Areas
Cooler temperatures moved in
on the valley regions early Sat
urday. In Salem, the, morning
minimum was 32 degrees, freez
ing mark, and there was some ice
about following th rain.

atures tonight and some clearing
with Sunday due to be only part
ly cloudy here.
Rivers of the valley continue
to come up slowly following the
mid-week storms. The Willam
ette was up to 10 feet at Salem
Saturday morning. Slight to
moderate rises are due during
the next 24-36 hours along all

Canadian Bids
WASHINGTON Wl - Four Wash
ington Republican representatives
reported Friday they had been
turned down by the Foreign Oper
ations Office in their request that
Canadian firms not be permitted
to bid on seven million board feet
of lumber to be given Formosa.
The congressmen Mack, Tollef
son, Felly and Westland said in a
joint statement that FOA officials
advised that Canadian firms would
be permitted to bid in the hope of

like a continuation of the overly
loreign-minaea policies of the Ach-
eson administration which were
repudiated by the voters when the
Truman-Acheson regime was voted
out of office."
He cited government statistics
which he said shewed the United
States imported nearly two billion
board feet of timber more than it
exported last year.

Say Churchill
Quits in May
IMMINGHAM, England UV-A
Conservative member of Parlia
ment says the current talk in the
House of Commons is that Prime
Minister Churchill will retire next
May after Queen Elizabeth II re
turns from her royal tour.
Cyril Osborne told a political
meeting here last night that
Churchill's retirement date "has
been much discussed In Westmin
ster (parliamentary circles) this
week. Nobody knows, but many
think it will be when the Queen
comes home."
There has been no indication
from Churchill, 79, that he is
ready to announce when he will
retire. He participated in the Big
Three conference last month in
Bermuda, where ground was laid
for the Big Four foreign ministers'
meeting in Berlin to open on
Monday.
Osborne added that it was feared
that two of Churchill's top lieu
tenants will retire at the same
time. They are Lord Woolton, 70,
chairman of the Conservative
party, and Sir Waller Monckton,
64. minister of labor.
But a Ministry of Labor spokes
man said Monckton has no thought
of retiring while the government
requires his services. Woolton re

account of his "frustra'ions" in

Mr. Hoover spoke over a nation

annual luncheon commemorating
this year the 248th anniversary of
Franklin's birth and honoring Mr.
Hoover for "distinguished service
to our country."
The 79-year-old former presi

to explaining to the audience, with
some humor, why he discarded a
dozen possible Franklin maxims as
too controversial or just too "sour"
for "this occasion" celebrating
Franklin's birthday.

Angers French
PARIS (U.R An apparent Span
ish snub heightened French an
ger today in the mounting crisis
between the two countries over
control of the strategic Spanish
protectorate of Morocco.
Dispatches from Madrid indi
cated that the Spanish cabinet,
meeting last night, completely
ignored a French note protesting
Spain's efforts to benefit at
France's expense from Moroccan
nationalist agitation.
An official announcement on
the cabinet meeting made no
mention of the crisis, or any other
foreign matter, beyond the vague
statement that Foreign Minister
Alberto Martin Artajo "reported
on recent developments."
The "firm, precise" French
protest, whose contents have not
been made public, was inspired
by a meeting of tribal leaders
in Spanish Morocco this week
which was devoted largely to
anti-French political speeches.

Russia's veto, used for the first
time in a Palestine issue last
night, wrecked three months of
western conciliation efforts and
left the United Nations still seek
ing to solve the Israeli-Syrian
River Jordan dispute today.
Soviet Delegate Andrei Y. Vi
shinsky cast Russia's 58th veto in
the Security Council last night,
killing a formula sponsored by
Britain, the United States and
France for settling the dispute.
The argument, latest in a five
year scries of disputes in the ten
sion ridden Holy Land, centered
about a hydro-electric project
started several months ago by
Israel. Syria brought the issue
to the Security Council, charging
that diversion of the River Jor
dan into a canal for the generat
ing plant would deprive Arab
farmers of water for irrigation.
The western formula would spe
cifically have empowered Major
General Vagn Bennike, chief of
the U.N. Palestine Truce Observa

to go ahead with the project with
out direct assent from Syria.
