FAY WASHINGTON i Military offi cials continue to cloak their mis sile test operations in official se crecy although the test center on Florida's populous east coast is open to public view from the sea. Secrecy obscures even nonsecret ork at Patrick Air Force Base, site of the armed forces missile test center. It is known that three months Proposed Higli Dam on Snake Soon to Reach Secy. Seaton Reclamation Wanls to Build at Pleasant Valley By JOHN KAMPS WASHINGTON Wl Secretory of the Interior Seaton soon may disclose whether the administra tion is considering a policy change Snake River in the 1'acilic North west. Seaton is expected to act soon on a Reclamation Bureau report recommending construction of a high dam at the Pleasant Valley site in the river bordering Idaho and Oregon. Such a structure would rule out a lower dam proposed at the site by the Pacific Northwest Power Co., which was organized by four private power firms. Would Flood Hells Canyon It also would flood the site of the upstream Hells Canyon Dam which the Idaho Power Co. has been authorized to construct by the Federal Power Commission. The report, which has not been fnade public, could advocate an all-federal dam at Pleasant Val ley since the Reclamation Bureau is the Interior Department's con struction agency. Or it could pro pose a partnership project in which the government would share the cost with some other entity. The Eisenhower administration thus far has encouraged private dams when local groups stood ready to build them. It took this stand in the previous private vs. public power fight over Snake River sites the Hells Canyon case. The administration has favored government construction of main stem dams too big for non-federal groups to handle. Sealon's recent disclosure of the Reclamation Rureau report sparked speculation by advocates of public and private power alike a to whether a major power pol icy change were in the offing. Spokesmen for public power groups said a policy reversal was indicated as a result or victories by candidates they supported in Pacific Northwest elections. Private power company officials at an FPC hearing on PNP's ap plication for construction licenses for the Pleasant Valley and Moun tain Sheep dams appeared mysti fied. Seaton Altitude In Doubt A group of these officials con ferrcd with Seaton last week and ' left saying privately they hadn't the slightest idea as to what the scretary thought or knew about the report. Seaton is not expected to an nounce he's for or against a high Pleasant Valley dam.

I The Defense Department re- official believes the secretary is: more likely to confine any an nouncement to whether or not 'a detailed study should be made. The official said Seaton has on his desk a "preliminary" report and not a detailed report on which a construction recommendation could be made. If Seaton decides a federal dam should be more fully investigated, he may ask the FPC to hold up action on PNP's license applica tion pending further study. The FPC hearing ended Wed nesday. It's believed the case could be reopened if new, import ant and pertinent evidence were offered. An FPC lawyer has expressed doubt that the commission would seriously consider a proposal for a dam which would preclude the construction of one the commis sion has already licensed. Idaho Power won a license, fol lowing a long hearing, for dams at Hells Canyon, Oxbow and at Brownlee. Hells Canyon is third the company s construction schedule. The Interior Department under the Truman administration inter vened at the hearing against Idaho power, advocating a high federal Hells Canyon dam. The depart ment's opposition was withdrawn by President Eisenhower's first secretory of the interior, Douglas McKay. McKay said the issue should be decided by the com mission. Public Powerltes Hostile Any bill to authorize a tcderal Pleasant Valley dam might run into opposition from some public power advocates. The National Hells Cnnvon Assn., which opposed dam-building proposals of Idaho Power and PNP, is against anv Pleasant Val ley project because it would block proposed construction of a con siderably higher dam at Nez Perce, the project these groups favor for the section of Uic Snake under discussion. There has been speculation that Uie administration may recom mend construction of a high Pleas ant Valley project jointly by the government and the private power companies. fNi- ollicials. how ever, have shown no interest in such a "partnership" nossibilitv.

Newsmen, in requesting Dcrmission to eo to the has for I such a test firing, cited an earlier government statement that the satellite project, a purely srientificl effort, would not be encumbered by military security. The explana tion for the refusal was that other military test equipment was on the base. The missile test center is heav ily protected on land by fences and armed guards. But most of its area is in plain sight from a I beach across a narrow strip of water. And civilian-operated boats are free to sail close to shore, where launching equipment and missies are in easy camera range. Security officials say the test firings arc supposed to be con ducted without preliminary pub licity. But for safety reasons, boats and aircraft are warned away from the launching area and down-range path several hours be fore firings. This is an unintended invitation to sightseers. One reason for locating the test center in this heavily populated area is the fact that the Caribbean Islands, over which the out going missiles pass, provide Ideal sites lor instrument recording sta tions. 21 Killed on Italy Airliner OSSANA.

BUSINESS MIRROR Santa Will Bring Consumers a Let Up in Cost'of Living Rise By SAM DAWSON i NEW YORK (iPi-For consumers Santa Claus is bringing tonight the promise of a two month let up in the rise of the cost of living. For1 many industrial workers he is bringing the contractual pledge of higher wage scales. He is putting ' price rises in the stockings of the' railroads, steel mills, producers ol industrial materials. For many factories the benign saint offers the prospect of full production for several months more. For wage earners in gen eral he is promising plentiful jobs through the winter. For merchants he has a flock of well heeled if more sober minded customers. If some of these things like rising wage scales, higher prices but a steady cost of living seem contradictory, remember it's Christmas Eve when even gov ernment statisticians and credit executives take the most pleasant view. The Commissioner of the Bu reau of Labor Statistics thinks living costs should hold steady through February and maybe dip a little because of upcoming cloth ing sales. As a whole they -never were higher than at present. Chou to Visit Poland, Soviet LONDON w Warsaw Radio announced Monday that Commu nist Chinese Premier Chou En-lai will visit Poland in mid-January. Earlier the Soviet government had announced Chou is interrupt ing his South Asian tour to visit Moscow. Western diplomats in the Soviet capital had speculated the Chi nese leader and the Russian! chiefs would discuss the Krem lin's current troubles with its satellites. Thre have been indications that the Red Chinese regime favors giving the satellites more freedom from Moscow. Apparently Chou wants to form a first-hand opinion in talks with Poland's new "na tionalist" Communist government, which already has won consider able independence from the Krem lin. Observers in London considered it likely that Chou would also visit other East European Communist countries in what mav be a re view nf Pnmmnnist f'hina't: nlnrn ! in the Communist world. U. S.

Let uour familif phqsician prescribe ' ?,fj Polling 146 credit executives of manufacturing, wholesale, finan cial and service companies, the Credit Research Foundation re ports more than half of them ex pecting an increase in capital out lay for plant expansion and look for government purchasing to stav as high. Three fourths of them ex pect prices and sales volume to increase next year, and for com petition to get keener, too. Nearly two thirds look for unemployment to stay at its present relative low level. But the managers of business credit also fear there will be more marginal accounts, many of them short of working capital and slow er collections. The National Assn. of Credit Men polled 100 financial execu tives and found their average guess of where the wholesale price index of all commodities would be at midyear in 1957 as 115.97. compared with 114.2 July 1, 1956. They thought, however, that the industrial production in dex of the Federal Reserve Board, now at 145, would drop back to 142.5 next summer. Take home pay of the average factory worker is now at a new record high, according to the Bu reau of Labor Statistics, which says the gain in the buying pow er of the worker was more than the rise in the cost of living. The living cost increase will mean a three cents an hour boost in pay for steel workers. Many long term labor contracts also call for automatic wage scale boosts.; Prices are going up, too. Freight rates and passenger fares are going up on the, rail roads. Steel mills are boosting the prices of some products and talk ing more about a general price increase.

Discussing the tour, which was financed by the contest and sever al business firms, Mrs. Maletis said that "in the villages, where we met and talked to many of the working people, we found warm friendship and appreciation of what America is doing for Eur ope." She said she enjoyed her trip abroad "but, after all, for a mother there is really no thrill like coming home to her family especially just a day before Christmas Eve."

W Schools and public recreation may be the next goals for Mont gomery Negroes now that they have gained integrated buses, a! spokesman suggested last night. : Less than 12 hours after an un-; identified person loosed a shotgun blast into the front of his home, the Rev. M. L. King Jr., president of the Montgomery Improvement Assn., outlined possible new seg regation targets. King said the group which sparked the mass bus boycott still has plenty of work to do. "Some of our people have ap-. parently fallen in love with pro-j testing," he said. "We've got to' stop protesting and go in for reconciliation." I The Negro minister said the MIA will continue to have mass meetings "We have just start ed our work." Urging all Negroes to resume riding the buses. King said. "We must go back to the buses in big numbers. Then, perhaps, we might even be able to do some thing about the fares."
