Knowland in Accord
With Dulles' Speech
Washington (U.R) Senate Re
publican Leader William, F.
Knowland, who often has been
at odds with the administration's
Far East policy, said he was "per
fectly satisfied" with Dulles'
speech last night. He said Dulles
"made it perfectly clear that we
do not intend to permit Commu
nist China to nibble away on the
free world."
Knowland, asserting that Nationalist-held
'offshore islands
are important to the defense of
Formosa and the Pescadores,"
said the United States "should
not adopt a doctrine that every
thing within a 12-mile limit off
the China coast should belong to
Communist China."

Dulles Warns Red
China, Western
Europe in Speech
American Forces
Won't Be Hog-Tied
By LYLE C. WILSON,
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Secre
tary of State John Foster Dulles'
blunt warning that Red China
shall not shoot its way toward
Formosa was equally a warning
to the Western European Allies
of the United States.
Beyond that, it was a reassur
ance to the American people that
the military might and diplo
matic efforts of this country
would not again be hog-tied,
handcuffed and sewed in a sack,
as in the recent Korean war.
Fight Implied
Dulles spoke Wednesday night
in New York before the Foreign
Policy Association. He strongly
implied that the United States
would fight if Red China sought
to, make the near-shore islands
of Quemoy and Matsu stepping
stones toward the seizure of For
mosa. It is confidently expected
that this firm position will be
badly received by the Western
European Allies of the United
States.
Western Europe is jittery with
anxiety over a third world war.
Its press and diplomacy alike are
exerting great pressure on the
United States to back down in
the Far East. Dulles' speech
was deliberate notice to Red
China and Western Europe that
the United States would stand
fast. There is an urgent hope in
Washington that the Commu
nists in control of China will not
miscalculate the determination
of this country.
Bi-Partisan . Praise . . .
There was bipartisan congres
sional agreement but in vary
ing degrees that Dulles did a
good- job, in letting, the Com
munists know where. this coun
try stands, even though he did
not spell out every detail.
Chairman Walter F. George
(D-Ga.) of the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee, said Dulles
made U.S. policy on Formosa
"as clear as he could."
Chairman Styles Bridges
(N.H.) of the Senate Republican
Policy Committee, said the
speech "clearly indicates our in
tention to assist in the defense
of Quemoy and the Matsus if
they should be attacked as step
ping stones for an invasion."
Major Points
But there was much more in
Dulles' speech than a show of
willingness to fight if necessary.
The speech may prove to be one
of the most significant in Dulles'
State Department career. Under
careful .analysis, the speech
proved to be more conciliatory
than otherwise. Here are some
major points:
1. The United States' prime
objective is a peaceful' settle
ment and stability in the Far
East. . . ...
2. There was a strong hint
that Red China might, in the end,
gain control of the near-shore is
lands by peaceful negotiation.
3. The United States is not
pledged to defend the near-shore
islands but is pledged to defend
Formosa and the Pescadores.
4. The "massive retaliation"
concept of meeting Communist
aggression which Dulles spon
sored a . year ago apparently is
dead.
5. The speech left the United
States in a position of inviting
further, negotiation of the Far
Eastern problem on any reason
able basis. ,;
Key Reference
The key reference to negotia
tion in Dulles' speech was this:
"It is hardly to be expected that
the Communist Chinese will de
nounce their ambitions (to seize
Formosa). However, might they
not renounce their efforts to
realize their goals by force?"
Dulles added that the United
States was wholly committed to
"assure that Formosa and the
Pescadores will not be forcibly
taken over by the Chinese Com
munists." Taipeh, Formosa (U.R) Na
tionalist officials predicted fail
ure today for Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles' appeal to
Peiping for peaceful solution of
the Formosan crisis and noted a
big Communist buildup on
Southeast China's "invasion
coast." - '.' -

Morse Schedules
Major Speech in
Portland Tonight
Solon Expected To
Tell Political Plans
' Portland (U.R) Sen. Wayne
Morse scheduled a major speech
here tonight amid speculation
that he might disclose his 1956
political plans.
Morse so far has not said
whether he will run for reelec
tion as a Democrat next year al
though he now sits on the Demo
cratic side of the Senate and
voted with the Democrats to
give them control of the body.
Statewide Broadcast
Morse was to speak before
the Multnomah county Demo
cratic Central Committee - Jack
Travis, secretary of the Friends
of Wayne Morse Committee in
charge of the broadcast, said it
would be carried throughout the
state at 8:30 p.m.
A recent exchange of tele
grams between Morse and How
ard Morgan, state Democratic
chairman, added fuel to the
speculation. Morgan earlier this
week telegraphed Morse com
mending him for a . "public
service" in his speeches on the
Formosa treaty and. the "fight
if -necessary". ... Formosa resolu
tion. Morse opposed both 7 the
treaty and resolution while most
Democrats supported them. '
Deeply Moved by Wire
The Oregon senator replied to
Morgan that he was "deeply
moved' by Morgan's wire. -"I
am perfectly willing to let time
and future events be the judges
i my' record on this issue," he
said.
Morgan's telegram was inter
preted in some Washington
D.C. circles as another Demo
cratic bid to get the independ
ent senator into the fold.
Paul Butler, Democratic na
tional chairman, said Sunday
that the Democrats would wel
come Morse into their ranks
whether he disagreed with them
on foreign policy or not.
Britain To Start
Bomb Development
London (U.R) Great Britain
announced today that she will
start developing and producing
hydrogen bombs.
The disclosure that Britain
will become the world's third H-
bomb power was made in an of
ficial government white paper,
giving Britain's defenses their
most drastic overhaul in history,
to keep them abreast of the
atomic age.'
In deciding to join the United
States and Russia in producing
the world's most deadly explo
sive, the government of Prime
Minister Winston Churchill said
the H-bomb's terrible power
would, in its view, "act as a de
terrent to war."
Communist Guns
Bombard Quemoy
Taipeh, Formosa (U.R) The
Chinese Communists broke a
lull of almost four days in the
Formosa Strait today with a bom
bardment of the Nationalist
island outpost of Quemoy.

built up massive forces opposite
the Nationalist held islands,

tillery at Greater Quemoy before

IFumidl Ekpest Urged
Congressman Harris Ellsworth has urged the bureau of the
budget to submit a supplemental budget request, for construction
of the Talent project, to this session of Congress, it was re
ported today. '
Dispatches from Washington quoted Ellsworth as saying that
revised information on the project has boosted the benefit-cost
ratio up to 1.42 to.l, higher than earlier figures. This is a "consic(
erably more favorable figure" than those used by the budget
bureau, Ellsworth said.
He showed newsmen an exchange of letters between him and
Budget Director Rowland Hughes, in which he urged the bureau's
earliest possible" consideration of the new data. ' .
Hughes' reply acknowledged the importance of the Talent pro
ject to Oregon, and said he would advise . Ellsworth as soon as
their study of the new figures is completed.
Congressman Cites 62 Return -
Ellsworth stated the project's repayment schedule "now shows
that farmers will pay $5,730,000, equal to a return of 47 per cent
on the government's investment in 50 years,", or a 62 per cent
return on the irrigation portion of the project for the pay-out
period. , ..."
He compared this 47 per cent figure with a 36 per cent return
for Washington's Foster Creek project, for which funds were rec
ommended in the budget. He said this indicates the Talent figures
certainly are "not inferior to other approved projects."
The $22,000,000 project would provide new and supplemental
water for irrigation in the Talent and Medford Irrigation districts,
as well as power production. It was authorized by the last session
of Congress and the bill was signed by President Eisenhower.
, Construction funds, however, were not included in this year's
budget, presumably because of the low benefit-cost ratios cited in
bureau of reclamation reports, which have now been revised and
corrected.

Rules Committee
OK's Introduction
Salem (U.R) The House
Rules Committee today allowed
introduction of Rep. Earl Hill's
proposal for a state sales tax
that would be used to support
schools. ;
The measure would be submit
ted to the people for approval
under the terms of a companion
bill also introduced by Hill.
Labor Opposition
The state sales tax has been
opposed by Gov. Paul Patterson
and has strong labor opposition.
Oregon voters, in the past, have
repeatedly rejected such a tax
plan.
Hill estimated the tax would
raise some $60,000,000 per bien
nium and would make it possible
to divert other revenues from
school support into other chan
nels. Whether the sales tax would
be in addition to other taxes now
on Oregon's statute-books would
be up to the taxation commit
tees of the Legislature to decide.
Other Measures Approved ,
The rules committee also ap
proved two other tax measures
for introduction. One would
boost, the i state gasoline tax by
two cents to eight cents a gal
lon. The other would authorize
$11,000,000 in bonds for high
way construction.
These were sponsored by Sen.
Warren Gill (R-Lebanon).
;:- Approval of "the sales tax bill
for -introduction followed ap
proval Tuesday by the Senate
Taxation Committee of a resolu
tion that would allow the Legis
lature to put an emergency
clause on a tax measure. This
could make a tax bill effective
when signed by the governor.

two men eluded border police
and fled abroad. Speculation
was that they had fled.to Southern-

House Vote on Tandem '
Statehood Bill Eyed
Washington U.R) Key state
hood supporters expressed cau
tious optimism today about get
tine the tandpmn Hawaii. A lacL-..
statehood bill to a House vote.
This hope was based on indi
cations that Speaker Sam, Rav-
burn (D-Tex.), may not order the
bill locked in the Rules Commit
tee, although he still finds it
personally objectionable.
Chairman Claire Enele fD-
Calif.) said "the prospects are
good" that the Rules Committee
will consent to its goine to the
floor.
Mrs. Elliott was released
under $i000 bond. Elliott was
unable to raise similar bail.
Police here said Elliott also
was wanted in Topeka, Kan., on
a charge of forgery.
An attorney for Elliott - said
the checks were passed as a
"publicity stunt" for a book on
police work he is writing..
Elliott,' who has been living
