Flies to U.S. for
High Level Talks
Paris (U.R) French Premier
Pierre Mendes-France flew to
America Saturday night for talks
with President Eisenhower
which were expected to include
the new Russian call for a Euro
pean Security conference. .
The Premier -left Paris only
a" few hours after the Soviet
Union in an attempt to block
German rearmament proposed a
conference here, or in Moscow,
on Nov. 29 of 23 European na
tions, the i United States .and
Communist China.
To Discuss Talks
Informed sources said that
Mendes-France planned to raise
the question of new talks with
the Soviet Union, in his meeting
next week with Mr. Eisenhower
and Secretary of State John
Mendes-France favors the West
drafting a new plan for co-existence
with the Communists, the
sources said. However, France
does not want such East-West
talks until after ratification of
" the German rearmament and
sovereignty treaties.
There was no official comment
..on the Soviet's latest proposal in;
Paris: But diplomatic" circles
predicted the Russian bid would
fail to block French ratification
of the new Western European
union pact, which would rearm
and free Germany.

strict party lines Saturday to
let the administration proceed
with the controversial Dixon
Yates power contract without
further congressional review.
The action, which the commit
tee's Republican majority ram
med through over Democratic
protests, means that the long
pending deal can take effect as
soon as the Securities' and Ex
change commission approves fi
nancing arrangements. ,'
The 25-year contract, ..' under
which the Atomic Energy com
mission will buy 600,000 kilo
watts of power from the Dixon
Yates private utility combine,
was signed last Thursday. By
law, such long-term AEC con
tracts must lay over for 30 days
while both houses of Congress
are in session, unless the con
gressional atomic committee
votes to waive this requirement.
This it did Saturday. ,
Barring some unforeseen hitch
in getting SEC approval of fi
nancing, the Dixon-Yates com
bine is now free to begin con
struction of a $107,250,000 steam
generating plant at West Mem
phis, Ark. Power from the plant
will be delivered to the Tennes
see Valley Authority system, to
replace TVA power used by
atomic plants. :
Ike Urged Waver
President Eisenhower person
ally urged the committee in a
letter last week to . grant the
waiver and let the project get
underway. .
But Democratic opponents
who were outvoted Saturday
served notice that they will re
new, the battle in the 84th Con
gress, when vthey will have a
majority. They have indicated
they will try to kill the project
then by tacking a rider onto
the AEC appropriation bill, for
bidding the use of any federal
funds to finance the Dixon-
Yates contract. .
The committee voted the
waiver after a . final public
hearing on the contract at which
Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.),
testified in opposition to it.
Kefauver called the contract
"sloppy business" which will
be dragged through law courts
'time and time again."
County To Receive
$171,212 on Timber
Jackson county will receive
$171,212 as its apportionment of
the 25 per cent federal forest
reserve rentals and sale of tim
ber during the fiscal year end
ing last June 30," according to
United Press.
The total revenues were about
$1,000,000 less than the preced
ing year, Earl T. NeWbry, sec
retary of state, said yesterday.
Total apportionment was $4.-
988,206, with Lane county get
ting the largest share, $1,030,-
350.
Douglas county was next with
$553,824. Other southern Ore
gon counties receiving funds
were Josephine, $83,487: Klam
ath, $383,819; Curry, $110,346,
and Coos, $16,367.

Kills Father of Four
Farmington, W. Va (U.R)
An explosion ripped through a
coal mine Saturday killing one
man and trapping 15 others

red minutes after George Mc
Kay, general manager of the
mine, ordered a halt to rescue
operations until a fan could be
repaired to expell the deadly
fumes. McKay said two en
trances to the mine would have
to be barricaded before repair
work could be started.
Rescue May Take Days ::
Members of the rescue crews
said it may take days to reach
the men trapped deep in the
mine.
McKay said equipment to re
pair the fan was being rushed
here but it would take "several
hours" before the job could be
completed.
One rescue team was ordered
to stand, by but a team from
nearby Monogah was' ordered to

Needed by. Party
Portland Man Named
To Serve as Chairman
The Oregon Young Republi
can federation adopted a resolu
tion yesterday , applauding the
Watkins committee on its hear
ings "and the soundness of its
findings in recommending cen
sure of Joseph R. McCarthy of
Wisconsin for conduct . which
would have tended to bring the
U.S. senate into disrepute." .,
The measure was adopted
overwhelmingly with only one
vote cast against, according to
committee officials.

holding its state convention , in

ment in private power develop
ment as presented by the ad

Election Discussed
In the last major speech of
the convention, State Sen. John
Merrifield, Portland, blamed the
recent GOP election failure in
Oregon to "failure of our state
wide. Republican organization to
do the kind of selling job which
is required in the year 1954.
Oregon has changed and I ques
tion if all of us Oregon party
vidrke'? have changed
The? speaker stated that the
defeats could not be blamed on
any Democratic landslide, and
said the GOP must "adopt a
more liberal attitude ... and re
examine our Republican mach
inery in Oregon and replace the
faulty and worn - out parts."
The federation wound up its
convention last night after a
long day of activities, including
committee sessions in the morn
ing and a business session in
the afternoon, long into the early
evening.

uty district attorney for Mult
nomah county, v '

thing just to tack a man's hide

Case is a member of the spec

mended that McCarthy be cen

debate he had proposed that the
censure move be killed if Mc
Carthy would apologize for some
of his deeds and remarks. ,
Still Keeps Charge
The Wisconsin Republican re
fused, and that move collapsed.
However, Case still was seeking
some substitute.
Case said that "pure censure"
of McCarthy would be "sterile
and negative." He said he would
support a substitute for the cen
sure resolution "if I thought it
provided a more constructive re
sult."-- - - - '

Proposal for Talks
On Europe Security
Termed 'Insincere
Formal Answer
Set for Monday
Washington (U.R) Ameri
can officials late Saturday re
jected Moscow's new bid for a ,
25-nation conference on Europ
ean security as an insincere
sabre-rattling propaganda effort
to stall western progress on re
arming Free Germany. ,
Officials who analyzed Soviet
invitations for the proposed talks
in Moscow or Paris on Nov. 29
expressed confidence that the
Western Powers would maintain
a united front in turning down
the Russian invitation. ' ' "-
Hit Rearmament Plan
The Soviet Union warned that
rearming Germany- "greatly in
creases the threat "of a destruct
ive atomic war in Europe." he
Russians added that bringing a
demilitarized Germany into mili
tary blocs sets European states
against one another and leads
"finally to war."
The Soviets in almost identi
cal notes to the United States,
Britain, France and 21 other .
Communist and non-Communist
European nations proposed the
meetings be held in Moscow or
Paris. The Russians said they
hoped" that Communist China
would attend as an "observer.
' The nations invited were: Aus
tria, Albania, Bulgaria, East Ger
many, The Netherlands, Greece,
Iceland, Norway, Romania, Tur
key, Switzerland, Yugoslavia,
France, Great Britain, Belgium,
Sweden, Finland, Denmark,
Italy, ' Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Hungary, Luxembourg and tha
United States. -
West Germany Omitted
Omitted werie. .such countries .
as West Germany, Spain and
Portugal, which have no rela
tions with Russia. However, tb.9
Soviets offered to let the Western
Big Three invite "European na
tions with which the Soviet
Union has no diplomatic rela
tions." . ,. -
(Western observers and diplo
mats in London, Paris, Bonn and
Washington predicted that the '
latest Soviet conference propos,
al would be turned down flatly.
Washington said it was a "bald,
undisguised" effort to kill the
new Paris agreements on rearm
ing a sovereign West Germany.)
Answer Slated Monday .
The first U. S. formal answer
will come Monday, when Presi
dent Eisenhower will send to
Congress the Oct" 23 agree
ments to grant Germany its sov
ereignty and rearmament This
will be carried, out within the
Brussels Treaty organization and
the North Atlantic treatry organ
ization. '
American reaction in ad
vance of Allied conferences on
a formal reply followed these
general lines:
1. The Russians never expect
ed that a meeting would be held
on Nov. 29. It would be physi
cally impossible to do the ad
vance work for such a confer
ence in two short weeks. V
Scare Try Charged
2. The Russians engaged in a
bald effort in their, note to
frighten the Europeans with the
spectre of atomic war. They also
raised the grim pictures of Hit
lerism, heavy defense burdens,
death and destruction for all
Europe if the German rearma
ment program supported by the
West goes into effect.
3. The Russians provided ab
solutely . nothing basically new
in proposing the conference. Ex
perts said, it sounded the same
to them, except for a date, as
the proposals put forward at
the Big Four foreign ministers
conference in Berlin last Feb
ruary by Soviet Foreign Minis
ter V. M. Molotov.
