Salem, Oregon, Friday, October 5, 1956 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Section 1 PaRB 9 Strauss Says Keefs A-Lag Claim False WASHINGTON Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the Atomic Energy Commission describes as "patently false" Sen. Estes Ke fauver's statement that the United States trails Britain and Russia in atomic power development. Strauss said the Democratic vice presidential nominee "further dis torted the facts" and engaged in "malicious innuendo" in a Tues day speech at Los Alamos, N.M., criticizing the Eisenhower admin istrations handling of atomic en ergy. The White House made public last night Strauss' "memorandum to the President." Press secretary James C. Hagerty said President Eisenhower ordered the action '"to keep the facts straight." Strauss said that when the pres ent administration took office, "the development of atomic power for commercial use was stalled on dead center." He asked Kefau ver to explain why. As a result of developments since then, he said, this country will have in operation at Shipping port, Pa., next year, what he called "the first large, full-scale atomic power plant in the world, exclusive for civilian use." Sixteen others are under con struction or planned for comple tion by 1962, Strauss said, and of these five are to be built without any direct government financial assistance. , Britain's Calder Hall plants, to go in operation this month, Strauss Father Stabs Self to Join Wife, Infant P0TTSV1LLE, Pa. Ufl-A teen age husband, father of a new-born baby, was so eager to be in the same hospital with his wife that he drove a knife into his chest, police said, to make sure of get ting there.

Hospital attendants said Thomp son stayed with his wife as long as he could on Wednesday, and appeared miserable when forced to leave. , Police said no charge had been lodged against Thompson.

Paramount's money to put the life of Moses'on the screen. The bud get almost doubles the seven mil lion spent on "Quo Vadis," and more than triples the cost of "Gone With The Wind." The latest picture, which grossed 25 million dollars, is the all time boxoffice chamoion, but Paramount expects "The Ten Commandments" to bring in 100 million dollars over the next 20 years. Much of the big cost was due to DeMille's insistence on shooting such scenes as the Exodus on the actual locale Egypt's Sinai Val And only uciuuie, wiui cnaraci eristic lavishncss, would build three pyramids and 16 Sphinxes less than five miles from the real ones. But the old man knew what he was doing. The icsult is more a religious experience than a move. It's an armchair pilgrimage. Research a 1 o n r cost $250,000. But historically it's money well sDent.

' V He did it before in a silent ver sion of "The Ten Command ments," made in 1923. That was the first picture to cost more than a million. Paramount fired De Mille when the cost soared, but' had to rehire him because no one but DeMille can do a DeMille spectacle. , ' I Charlton Heston plays Moses and does a superb job, as does Yul Brynner as Rameses II, the despotic Pharoah of the Exodus. DcMille used a record number of extras 25,000 for the Exodus scene. Slain Baby's 'J Mother Goes Into Asylum MIDDLETOWN, Conn.

Some of the hunters have returned with their deer. First one we heard about was Norman Trada; then Maude Gandy'and Claude Cope land got their buck on their vari ous trips. Many of the, men are Still out. Jack Lindeman had not arrived home at the scheduled time so we assume that he was still stalking a cagy one. Harold Davis has been in Idaho this past week but will return this weekend and we. hope that he was success ful in the hunt. No doubt this re porter will hear of many more deer being brought home after this col umn, is printed.

Most people know there's one easy way' to measure the activity of a city . . . that's by the amount of local news carried by the hometown newspaper. The pages of the Capital Journal reflect an extremely busy Salem. There's a lot doing ... all the time. When a new industry comes to town, when news of importance con cerning local government "breaks," when a major fire or disaster strikes, when anything occurs that might affect the citizens of Salem, you 11 find It in the Capital Journal. And you'll not only find out what hap pened, but usually how and why it happened. That's because the complete and exclusive news coverage offered by City Editor Glen Cushman and his staff of assistants is a continuous day upon day report on which nothing is sacrificed. It takes a skilled team of nine to provide news both in picture and story form of Salem's busy activities. . Douglas Seymour, assistant city editor, furnishes comprehensive coverage of activities of the city administration. His stories of the doings of the city council and planning commission give readers a comprehen sive picture of their city government. ' , Police reporter Victor B. Fryer's intimate knowledge of law enforce ment activities keeps everyone abreast of current crime both in and around Salem. His imaginative reporting and continued search for the "inside info" gives Capital Journal readers more news in the police field. . . Veteran editor-reporter Fred Zimmerman, a member of the C-J staff for 42 years, writes county, school and church news as only a man of his years of background and experience could provide. His first hand knowledge of just about every facet of Salem gives his paper a lead any time he writes a story. Specialized feature stories about everything and everybody are reporter Margaret Magee's long suit. Her annual coverage of the Oregon State fair has been called a classic by experts. Her continued high level coverage of events, people and things, makes her one of the widest read woman writers in the Northwest. James D. Olson, veteran Oregon political writer, gives Capital Jour nal readers an edge in political coverage. He makes the state capitol a regular beat but his acute perception and reporting of political events and action of the state's legislative bodies places Kim in a class by him self among writers. Special writer Ben Maxwell combines a wide field of knowledge about Salem historv with his expert photography and farm coverage. His feature material of events of days gone by in Salem are widely read and provide information for both "oldtimers" and newcomers to this area alike. x Youthful photographer-writer Jerry Claussen, a 1958 University of Oregon graduate, has come into his own as a lop flight photographer. His photo-coverage of daily events and special feature stories are one of the top features of the Capital Journal. Farm Writer Claude Steusloff knows what farmers like to read . . . he's a farmer himself. He's also the special Capital Journal farm repre sentative at all events of interest in the surrounding area.
