Bul ganin, speaking after Nehru, said Russia had agreed to attend the Geneva Big Four conference to contribute to "relaxation of ten sion." "The Soviet government has a- greed to take part in the four: power conference," Bulganin told; the rally. "We base our agreement j on the assumption that this con-: fcrfisce should contribute to relaxa-' lion of tension, j ."We shall make every effort in; this direction and hope that others will be prompted by the tame mo tives." (Continued on Page S Column 7) Churchill On Big 4 Meeting LONDON IB - Sir Winston Churchill said Tuesday "we must not count upon complete and im mediate success" in the forthcom ing Big Four conference at Geneva. "A period of relaxation of ten sion may well be all that is now within our grasp." said the 80-year-old retired prime minister. "Even so, such a phase would not be sterile. Un the contrary, it would give time for science to show the magnitude or her bless ings rather than all her terrors." Sir Winston spoke in the ancient Guildhall of the City of London, where a bronze statue of him was Unveiled. Churchill, who has long plumped for a meeting of the Big Four heads of state, said: "Whatever is the outcome, we must persevere in the maintenance of peace through strength." Harking back to his own efforts for a top level conference, Church ill said he had long thought a meeting between the leaders of the nations without the formalities of diplomacy would be a good thing. Tension Easing Says M'Millan SAN FRANCISCO Ul British Foreign Secretary Harold MacMil lan said Monday tension between the East and West seems to be casing, but he declined to predict the outcome of next month's "sum mit" talks in Geneva. MacMillan addressed the 60 members of the United Nations pt the second day of the week-long 30th anniversary session. He strongly supported the world or ganization, but also stressed the necessity for supplementing it on Rome problems with old-fashioned diplomacy. He declared that the San Fran cisco meetings "will be memor able" if the diplomats gathered here can apply the old pioneering spirit to the work before them. "The pageant of history in the past decade has been darkened by disillusionment and. sometimes, despair." he said. "The tensions between East and West have seemed unending. But recently there has been a lifting of the cloud." arm Weather lo Continue in Valley Pleasantly warm weather is due for the valley regions for several days, according to the five-day forecast out Tuesday morning. A few isolated showers are pos sible Wednesday afternoon and Thursday, and again about Sunday, over the mountains, but in general no precipitation is in sight for this area. The Monday maximum in Salem was 84 degrees. The five-day fore cast calls for temperatures to con tinue slightly above normal with Mm cooling off at the end of the week. GFV.

M. Molotov apparently has agreed to a pro posal that would let President Eis enhower serve as chairman for the "summit conference" in Geneva, it was disclosed today. The proposal was one of sev eral submitted to the Soviet for eign minister yesterday by the for eign ministers of the Big Three Western powers gathered in San Francisco for the 10th anniversary of the United Nations. The .Big Four foreign ministers met last night to talk it over. Sources close to the British and American delegations said Molo tov made no objection to the pro posals, and indicated his govern ment would find them acceptable. Ease World Tension According to these sources, the proposals were: 1. The chief aim of the meeting would be to prove an atmosphere that would help lessen world ten sions, rather than negotiate speci fic problems. 2. The Big Four chiefs of state will preside over the sessions in rotation. President Eisenhower will be the first chairman, fol lowed by French, British and Rus sian chiefs of state. 3. The meeting should last four to six days. The exact length must be decided upon ahead of time. 4. The chiefs of state should outline in their opening statements what they consider to be the main causes of world tension.

Tugboat operators, yachtsmen, the Columbia River Pilots Assn., and dock and port commissions said the bridge should be remod eled before a new bridge is built next to it They said more clearance should be provided for both heighth and width. The remodeling cost was esti mated at $2,310,000. If the Army Engineers decide to order remodel ing, Oregon and Washington are ready to pay 25 per cent of the cost each to match a federal gov ernment contribution of 50 per cent, Oregon's highway engineer H. H. Baldock, said. The proposed new bridge will parallel the present structure and each will carry one-way traffic. It is planned to be. ready in 1958. Chelan PUD Buys Dam from WWP WENATCHKE tVr) Chelan Coun ty's Public Utility District pur chased the Washington Water Pow er Co.'s Chelan Dam and distribu tion system Tuesday for 20 million dollars. The agreement ended 10 years of litigation between the power com pany and the PUD. The price aprement was reached in Super ior Court, where the PUD'S con demnation suit, to fix the price, was due for trial later this month. The Chelan district has had a condemnation action pending against the dam since 1945. Legal maneuvers have kept it from ever reaching the trial stage. The PUD has contracted to sell surplus power from the dam to the company. The contract was made i possible by an act of the 1955 I es- islature to allow PUDs to sell pow-1 ordered taken to Sing Sing for pis er to private utilities under long- j two tn three year term, term contracts. j Jelke was convicted of living off The contract will run for '40, the earnings of one woman he in years.

Defense Money Bill Sent House WASHINGTON WV-Senators Byrd (D-Vat and Symington ID Mo) said today a $31,882,000,000 de fense money bill will help keep America ahead of Russia in long range aerial striking power. The Senate passed the bill 80-0 yesterday and sent it back to the House, where a somewhat differ ent version was approved some time ago. One of the major differences was Senate amendment designed to block a proposed 22,000-man reduc tion in the Marine Corps. This amendment was adopted 40-39. It was President Eisenhower's first reversal on a major military rec ommendation since he entered the White House. The bill would provide funds to arm and support a military force scheduled to be trimmed from 2,961,300 men as of June 30 to 2,881,000 a year later. Bethlehem to Raise Wages PITTSBURGH W Bethlehem Steel Corp. Tuesday joined "Big Steel" in a promise for a wage increase to the CIO United Steel workers. But Bethlehem said it first must work out with the union the amount ol a wage increase. Vice President James M. Larkin, head of the firm's negotiating committee, said: "We came here to work out a settlement fair to all concerned. We're going to be discussing what the wage increase should be." Monday U. S. Steel Corp., the pacesetter for the industry, said it will submit a wage offer to the union later this week. Talks between Bethlehem, the nation's second largest producer, and the union resumed after a two week recess.

Chamber Directors Vote To Complete Merger In addition to approving a new Chamber of Commerce adminis trative plan, and completing the merger of the chamber and the Salem Industrial Development Reuther Spurns Ford Proposal DETROIT Wl President Walter P. Reuther said Tuesday his CIO United Auto Workers "will not ac- r e p t" industrywide bargaining with the auto makers. Henry Ford JI proposed Monday that auto manufacturers get to-' gemer in the future and seek a single wage contract that would cover them all. "I don't think the industry would accept it." Reuther said. "And I know that the UAW-CIO will not accept it. It would make small crises into big ones." Beginning with a 113-day strike against General Motors Corp in 1945-46, the union has followed a strategy of pitting one big car pro ducer against the others in con tract negotiations. Ford signed first under a strike threat this year. GM followed a week later Ford (or United Action on Labor DETROIT Wl-Henry Ford II says it would be a good idea for the auto makers to get together in the future and seek an industry wide contract with the CIO United Auto Workers.
