Dr. Phillip L. Merrit, now an executive of the atomic energy commission, said Pregel sold 1,000 pounds of uranium com pounds to Russia in violation of his contract to give the United States all the uranium ore he could get. Staff Tapers Off Lt. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, di rector of the wartime atom bomb project, subsequently di rected his staff to "taper off" in their dealings with Pregel, Law rence C. Burman, also an AEC official, told the committee. Burman said he did not know why Groves issued that order. Pregel's Canadian Radium & Uranium corporation in New York was the sole sales agent for the output of vital Canadian uranium mines. These mines were taken over by Canada in January, 1944, and were a main source of supply for our A-bomb project.

She goes on trial on a second de gree murder charge. Her attorneys planned to plead temporary insanity in her de fense. A state psychiatrist exam ined her when she was arrested and psychiatric testimony was expected to form a good part of the defense. It was the first "mercy kill ing" trial in the history of this factory town of 180,000.

Jan. 24(U.R The navy said today it was con sidering starting a giant wave to help" wash, the stranded battle ship Missouri off her mudbank, - but the idea might be dangerous. J Read Adm. Allen E. Smith, Commander of cruisers for the Atlantic fleet, said the navy thought of sending a cruiser rac ing close to the bogged-down Big Mo at the next attempt to free her, February 2. The cruiser's bow wave might JT lift the battleship for an instant, s breaking the suction which has held her firmly in the mud for eight days. But the idea may be aban doned, he said, because the wave might be dangerous to the tugs and other small craft hauling at the battleship. In the big pull February 2, Smith said, five tugs will haul at the Missouri's sterm, add ing their power to the Big Mo's winches pulling at nine huge an chors behind her.

The Arctic front sent tempera tures skidding from the mid-forties down to the zero mark. The weather forecaster said the new cold snap would probably be as severe as the one that gripped the region last week. A low of five degrees above zero was forecast for Seattle Tuesday night. Follows Chinook The blizzards and frigid air followed a rain-laden Chinook that was rapidly melting a heavy Cascade mountain snowpack. Swollen rivers receded swiftly Tuesday as the extensive storm front moved through British Co lumbia and Washington and struck northern Oregon. A steady gale with gusts of 53 miles an hour lashed Bellingham, Wash., where the mercury plung ed to six above. Six inches of snow fell late Monday. The new storm whipped through British Columbia with a staggering punch that further hampered transportation, kept schools closed and disrupted communications. Highways Flooded A minor flood crest of the Wil lamette river rolled harmlessly toward Portland but some feeder streams spread over Oregon roads. The only highway serious ly flooded was 101 north of Tilla mook. The Kilchis river was ex pected to recede and the highway be cleared by Wednesday. Snow fell in downtown Port land last night, and the cold front was expected to last three days. United Air lines traffic was re turned to Portland-Columbia air port yesterday from Salem after the runways were cleared of snow. Buses and trains continued to run on late schedules. About 500 motorists were stalled on Portland's Barbour boulevard when -the snow came. Two buses ran off the road but with minor damages and no in juries to passengers, police said. The Columbia river and Ever green highways were still blocked. Portland schools reop ened Monday but Vancouver. Wash., and Clark county schools were scheduled to remain closed until Wednesday.

Jan. 24 (U.R) The house rules committee by a tie vote today refused to clear the controversial FEPC bill for action by the house. The vote was five-five. Rep. Clarence Brown (R., O.), joined four southern democrats in op posing a motion to send the civil rights measure to the floor. He then moved that the vote be re considered. Issue Kept Alive This maneuver. Brown told newsmen, keeps the issue alive for consideration at a later date. Brown said he voted no vote because two republicans were absent from today's rules com mittee session and he had pro mised them he would try to de lay a decision on the fair employ ment practices bill until they Medford 44th Year 12 Pages Dr. Durno On Stand In Anti-Trust Suit Of Medical Portland, Ore.. Jan. 24 4U.R The first defense witness in the government's anti-trust suit against the Oregon Physicians Service and seyeral medical so cieties in the state yesterday tes tified that for several years there had been growing opposition to commercial medical associations. The witness, Dr. Edwin R. Dur no of Medford, listed three rea sons why he refused to "accept Compromising Seen Before Tax Bill Can Be Law Washington, Jan. 24 (U.R) Members of congress agreed with President Truman today that the time has come to cut excise taxes. But there was no such unan imity on Mr. Truman's request for a $1,000,000,000 boost in corporation taxes, increased es state and gift levies, and closure of so-called "loopholes" in the present tax laws. General Clamor In fact, it appeared there will have to be considerable com promising between the White House and congress before a tax bill acceptable to both can be come law. There is a general clamor among congressmen and senators of all political shades for a re duction in the wartime excise rates. These taxes, ranging from 15 to 25 per cent, apply to cos metics, jeWelry, transportation tickets telephone and telegraph tolls and., many, other similar items. - - Replacement Wanted The president, obviously aware of powerful pressure for reduc tions, warned congress in his special tax message yesterday that he would veto an excise cut unless it is accompanied "by provision for replacement of the revenue lost." Mr. Truman suggested that congress make up the difference by closing tax "loopholes." He said "excessive" depletion allowances of oil and mining interest should be lowered; that a new tax formula should be devised for life insurance com panies to eliminate an "uninten tional" tax-free status of invest ment earnings; and that income earned by some educational and charitable institutions should be taxed to end "abuses." Coed Gets Spanking For 'Too Many Fires' East Lansing, Mich., Jan. 24 (U.R) Art Miller, Chicago , a Michigan State college senior, said today that he spanked his coed girl friend because "she kept too many fires burning." Miller administered the pad dling before a large group of students between classes. "She used to date one guy In the afternoon and another at night," Miller said. "I told her if she ever did that to me, I'd paddle her. She stood me up. so I just kept my promise." Miller and the coed attended class together immediately after the "punishment." "She was mad at first, but she finally laughed," he said. Driving Knowledge Lack Doesn't Hamper Thief Vancouver, B. C, Jan. 24 (U.R) A man held on vagrancy charges will be given a mental examination today because he admitted wanting to steal a car. Police caught him pushing the car down a street. He explained he wanted to steal it, but couldn't drive. Committee Refuses to Clear FEP Bill By Vote of 5-5 could attend Today's action was another in a series of temporary victories for southern house members who oppose FEPC. They have resort ed to a variety of delaying tac tics to prevent its consideration. May Comt To Vote The southerners conceded, however, that they probably can't stop FEPC much longer. They said the measure may come to a house vote, probably by one of two possible special procedures, in another three weeks. The Dixie bloc got an assist from Speaker Sam Rayburn yes terday when he headed off an immediate vote on the politically-explosive issue. Rayburn. who dislikes the bill, recalled last week' "terrific and rather MEDFORD OREGON, Groups tickets of Industrial and national hospital, associations." Payment 'Not Fair' They were: 1. The payment he received was "not in fair accord with the practice and services rendered." 2. Any patient needing major treatment was urged to go to Portland hospitals under these plans. 3. The plans required the doctor to consult with "laymen" before proceeding with "major treatment." Dr. Durno said an association formed by the doctors of Jack son county was unable to obtain sufficient contracts to make ends meet. Refuted 'Tickets' Dr. R. S. Waltz of Forest Grove, Ore., was another witness at the trial. He said, "I believe that it is a logical way for a patient to take care of his bills particularly a patient of modest income," as he testified in favor of ore-paid plans. But, he said, in time he refus ed to accept "tickets" of the com mercial associations because of difficulties he experienced with them. ' Senate Unanimously Confirms Sherman Washington, Jan. 24 (U.R) The senate today unanimously confirmed Adm. Forrest P. Sher man as chief of naval operations after a bitter debate over the dis missal of his predecessor, Adm. Louis E. Dcnfeld. Confirmation came after Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R., Wis.), announced that Denfeld is "re signing" from the job he held up to last October. McCarthy ex plained that the resignation is a formality to" "clear up legal doubts that the post is vacant. McCarthy, a marine corps vet eran of World War II, has spark ed the congressional criticism of the Denfeld dismissal. He said Secretary of Navy Francis P. Matthews, who fired Denfeld, should be impeached because of: (1) "Untruthfulness," (2) "imcompetence," (3) "com plete disloyalty" to the navy "for which he should be fighting," and (4) his "new and dangerous rule" that "if any officer comes before the senate and tells the truth he must take the conse quences." Dutch Authorities Charged With Aid Jakarta, Indonesia, Jan. 24 (U.R) The republic of Indonesia charged today that a renegade Dutch captain who temporarily seized control of a West Java city by armed force had the sup port of Dutch authorities. The captain, Paul Weslerling, commands a highly-disciplined private army of Dutch and nat ive guerrillas in a quest for pow er in Indonesia. His privateers drove republi can troops out of the city of ' Bandoeng yesterday in a sur prise attack but later surren dered the city on the request of Dutch authorities. The Indonesian defense minis try said the Dutch army did not actively support the guerrillas but had helped them indirectly by not taking action against Dutch army deserters who had joined the Westorling forces. White Houses Change Color For Brief Time New Orleans, Jan. 24 (U.R) Authorities were at a loss today to explain the switch of white painted houses to technicolor for a few hours here yesterday. Before dawn, white houses turned a yellowish-brown. A"n acrid odor was present during the discoloration. But by sunup the houses were white again. bitter fight" in which the ad ministration beat down an at tempt by a republican-southern democrat coalition to seize house control. Another fight over FEPC, he said, was not desirable now. Seen By Cox Rep. E. E. Cox (Cb. a key man in the campaign against civil rights, said FEPC is certain to come to a house vote eventu ally and will be approved. He believed Rayburn sooner or later will recognize Chairman John Lesinski (D., Mich.), of the labor committee so he can bring the bill to the floor under the so-called 21-day rule. This al lows a committee chairman to by-pass the rules committee if it fails to act within 21 days. Blizzard TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, Sen.

Morse, (R., Ore.) to testify as a charac ter witness in behalf of long shore union leader Harry Bridges and two other men ac cused of perjury and conspiracy. Attorney James M. Maclnnis finishing up a marathon opening statement that took a day and a half, said Morse, once a water front arbitrator, would be one of seven witnesses called to show the "integrity, honesty and truth of character" of the defendants. Lying Charged Bridges, 57-year-old native of Australia, is on trial on a charge of lying at his naturalization hearing when he denied he was a communist. J. R. Robertson and Henry Schmidt, both officers in Bridges' CIO International Long shoremen's and Warehousemen's union, are accused of supporting Bridges' statement. Other witnesses Maclnnis said he would call to defend the char acter of "these leftwing saints," included Dewey Mead, member of the San Francisco board of supervisors, and Waller Buck, prominent shipping and banking executive. Leftwing Saints "I don't represent , .. . that these men are saints," Maclnnis said in describing the three de fendants. "They are leftwing saints, perhaps . . . and when I say 'leftwing' I say it with all the dignity it used to possess when the late President Roose velt said 'you can count me a little left of center'." Seven More Years Of Power Shortage Seen Washington, Jan. 24 (U.R) Dr. Paul J. Raver, Bonneville power administrator, said today that the Pacific northwest faces seven more lean years before its power supplies catch up with demand. "It will be 1957," Raver said, "before we are really out of the woods and able to furnish every body with the power, that they want to do the kind of a develop ment job that ought to be going on in that region." A house appropriations sub committee published his testi mony in support of a $47,250,000 budget request for BPA. Raver said the administration also needs $21,750,000 in contract authority. He ran into little opposition from the subcommittee, most of whose members seemed to feel Raver has done a good job. That included Rep. Ben Jensen (R., Ia.) who nevertheless express fears that "Wall street financiers are getting their hooks in the people of your area." Light Snow Whitens Floor Of Rogue Valley A few fluffs of dry snow whit ened the floor of the Rogue val ley last night, and the weather bureau today predicted continu ing snow showers for -the next few days. Last night's flurries left a trace of snow on the ground at the airport, with up to half an inch at higher valley eleva tions.

Robbery Follows Delivery Of Money , By Brink's Truck Building Believed Familiar To Thugs Boston, Jan. 24 (U.R) Two bandits seized a $1,910 payroll in the ultra-exclusive Union club today 25 minutes after it was de livered by an armored truck of Brink's, Inc., whose offices were held up last week by bandits who escaped with $1,500,000. With Boston police still work ing around the clock to solve last Tuesday night's robbery at Brink's own headquarters, the bandit pair boldly staged the . latest stick-up in davliaht with. in sight of the state house. They overlooked $90. Women Held Up ; The bandits, one masked with a handkerchief and armed, held up two women employees in an office of the club on the fourth floor of the building on busy Park street.
