Offer To Discuss
11 Airmen Denied
Saigon, Indochina (U.R)
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles has not received any Chi
nese offer for an unofficial U. S.
mission to go to Peiping to dis
cuss the release of 11 jailed Am
erican airmen, a reliable source
said today.
The source, speaking shortly
before Dulles took off for Man
ila for a conference of American
Far East diplomats, said no such
offer had been transmitted to
Dulles by Burma's Premier U
Nu.
Reports from Rangoon yes
terday said the Burmese Pre
mier conveyed an unofficial of
fer from Chinese Communist
Premier Chou En-lai to Dulles
to send an unofficiaj American
mission to Peiping to discuss
the release of the fliers and the
easing of international tensions.
The source in Saigon said the
United States was not prepared
to send such a mission if it is
connected in any way with is
sues other than the 11 fliers
held in Communist jails on es
pionage charges. And if the of
fer concerned only the fliers,
the U. S. position is that there
are existing channels through
UN Secretary-general Dag Ham
marskjold and that they should
be used.

Power Commission
Measure Prepared
Salem U.R) Rep. Walter J.
Pearson (D-Portland) said today
he was preparing for introduc
tion a bill to establish a three
man, ncn-partisan . state power
commission.
Pearson said the measure
would authorize the proposed
commission to issue up to nearly
SI 16,000,000 in general obliga
tion bonds to build dams, gener
ating facilities and transmission
lines. He said that under the
proposed legislation, the commis
sion could develop power in con
junction with the federal govern
ment, with other states or by
itself.
An appropriation of $50,000
is carried in the measure to set
the program in motion.
Oregon voters in 1932 amend-!
ed the state constitution to allow
the state to enter the power
business, but no legislative ac
tion has been taken to bring
the amendment into effect.
