A careful examination of Movo tov's remark in Russian, as re ported in Pravda, indicates his statement can mean a lot or al most nothing, depending how one reads it. An expert American translator, who has done a lot of official 1 translation .work, renders the sentence in the Molotov speech this way: "Things reached such a point that in the production of the hydro gen weapon the Soviet people at tained such success that it is not the Soviet Union but the United States which has found itself in the position of being backward." A translation into English is sued by the Soviet delegation to Ihe U. N. reads: "It has come to a point where the Soviet people have made such progress in the manufacture of hydrogen weapons that it is the United States that- is lagging be hind and not the Soviet Union." An American expert on Russian language and grammar comment ed today: It seerhs to me to be deliberate ly vague. It Molotov wanted to say the Soviet Union is now at the present time ahead of the United States in its rate of production of H-bombs of in its stock pile ot H-bombs, he could have said just that. Instead he used a ratner in definite phraseology." If Molotov wished to Imply that the Russians at this time are stronger in thermonuclear hitting power than the United States, there are authorities to cooiesi me claim. Both President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Churchill have indicated the United States holds a big lead.

E. 122nd Avenue, Portland i "We use PGE electricity for everything it's so clean, safe and dependable . . ." "We never really appreciated how much we depend on PGE electricity until our new little baby boy arrived in the family. Whether I'm heating his food, drawing his bath, heating the bathroom or washing diapers PGE electricity makes the job easier. "And the wonderful part about it Is that for all of the many ways it helps us, our electricity costs an average of only about a penny an hour. Yes, I can truthfully say, PGE electricity it our biggest bargain." Whether it's freezing food in her large home freezer or cooking dinner on her late, speedy electric range, Mrj. Mills enjoys the luxury of all-electric living for just pennies a day. Music hath charms and it certainly works wonders In helping to put an active little boy to sleep. The cost to operate an electrie radio-phonograph7 ... a penny for 10 hours. Regardless of what fuel you burn It Is elec tricity that operates your thermostat to keep your home at a comfortable, healthful level. About a nickel a year is all it colts! The Mills have til of these work-saving electrical appliances working for them The Mills, like most PGE families, were amazed when they, paused and wrote down all of the tasks PGE electricity does ' for them. As Mrs. Mills says, "Why when someone mentioned electricity I always thought of lights, and cooking, and heating water but I never really stopped to think of all of the rest of the ways electricity works for us." As a matter of fact the average PGE customer uses nearly 3 times as much electricity as the national average. WHY? , , . Because the cost per kilow att hour is less than half the national average. It's the biggest bargain in your family budget.
