GONZALES United Press Correspondent Washington U.R) The Unit ed States is opposed to any Rus sian move to write provisions into an Austrian treaty forbid ding that nation to join military alliances or give bases to for eign powers, officials said Sat urday. American opposition to any limitations on Austria's inde pendence and sovereignty was made clear to the Russians at the 1954 Big Four foreign min isters conference on Austria and Germany. But possible new Russian ef forts to impose such limitations in an apparent effort to control Austria's military future have been reported from Soviet-Austrian treaty talks in Moscow. A joint communique from the talks said that Austria had given assurances it did not intend 'to join military alliances "or to tolerate military bases on its territory. Additional Information Awaited Officials said they hoped ad ditkmal information from Mos cow or Vienna would clear up whether the Reds would be sat isfied with such a general pledge. or whether they would insist such guarantees be written into the treaty. Some authorities were of the opinion that the Soviets would want formal re strictions in a final pact. The United States, for its part, would be willing to have Austria pledge after a treaty is signed that it will not join alliances or give military bases to foreign powers. But any treaty commit ments would clearly take away the independence a treaty would be designed to give, officials said. - Authorities recalled that Sec retary of State John Foster Dul les told Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov at the 1954 Berlin conference that a neutral status is an honorable status if it is voluntarily chosen by a nation." Summer Signing Anticipated If the Austrian-Soviet talks turn out to have no "jokers,' officials said, it might be possi ble to have an Austrian treaty signed this summer, probably jn Vienna. Signing of an Austrian treaty has long been one of the demon strations of Russian good faith which President Eisenhower has demanded before agreeing to big power talks on cold war prob lems, Just two years ago Saturday, Mr. Eisenhower said in a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors that "the So viet Union's signature upon an Austrian treaty . . . would be impressive" as a sign of "sincere intent The administration is encour aged by recent Soviet moves on the Austrian treaty. But the feel ing persists that the Reds may be setting up a neutral Austria as a pattern for the bigger East West prize Germany. Interstate Compact Program Reaffirmed Portland U.R) The execu tive committee of the Columbia Interstate Compact Commission met here Friday and reaffirmed the compact program but said the public should be more" fully informed about it. Legislatures of only three states Utah, Idaho and Nevada ratified the compact this year. The compact proposes a com mission to nave Droaa recom mendatory powers on power projects in the Columbia basin.

Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) Fri day night attacked the adminis tration's "willingness" to "re iinquish to private power" the Mountain Sheep and Nez Perce dam sites on the Snake river. He said that by allowing pri vate power companies to de velop these sites, the administra tion is letting them skim the cream from full power potential and relegating flood control to the ash tan." He said it "marks the begin ning of the end of the . . . master plan for development of the water resources of the Columbia river basin." Last week the Federal Power Commission issued preliminary permits to a combine of four pri vate utility companies for con struction of the dams on the Oregon-Idaho border. Ashland GOC Member Earn Observer Wings Ashland Service pins and certificates for 250 hours of ob servation were awaTded at a re cent meeting of the Ashland Ground Observer's Corps post. Receiving awards were Bessie Elhart, Lucille Mills, Norma Stearns, and Berton Bailey. Sgt. Bernard Moore, Medford, made the awards and urged the enlistment of more volunteers who would like to serve their country. .He pointed out the great need for persons to put in only two hours of observation a week. Because of the shortage of volunteers many of the pres ent observers put in four to five hours a day, and on some days only one observer mans the post for an eight hour shift, he said. ! Coffee and donuts were served j following the meeting. Those j wishing to serve may call Ash- j land 8112. U.S. Judge Denies Directed Judgment In Greenspun Case Las Vegas. Nev. (U.R) Fed eral Judge John R. Ross Satur day denied a motion for a di rected judgment of acquittal in the trial of Los Vegas Sun pub lisher Herman M. (Hank) Green- spun. Greenspun is accused of hav ing sent through the mails 874 copies of his newspaper contain ing a column written by him which the government .contends was of "indecent" character in that it "tended to incite murder or assination" of Sen. Joseph Mc Carthy. . Argument Outlined Greenspun's attorneys, in seek ing the acquittal, argued that conviction of the publisher would violate his constitutional guar antees of free speech and free dom of the press. On this point, Ross observed, "with every privilege goes a re sponsibility." "Newspapers have a great many privileges, as well they should," Ross observed. "With these privileges, how ever, newspapers should exercise care and caution go that your privilege and my privilege are not threatened by over-zealous exercise of their privilege." Ross added that the question of freedom of the press was in his opinion "a matter outside this case." He noted in addition that many of the arguments made by defense attorneys for acquittal had been ruled upon by the court at two prior hearings at which motions for dismissal of the indictment against the pub lisher were denied. House Group Wants Man Behind Bypass Of Low-Bid Policy Washington (U.R) House in vestigators Saturday demanded to known who at the Pentagon allegedly "directed" Air Force buyers to bypass regular low bid procedure in a recent big contract for rocket launchers. Cincinnati manufacturer James Knoebel testified that pro curement officials at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio told him last December they had planned to . let him and others bid on the contract. But he said that on last-minute orders from defense headquarters here they had awarded it to a competitor. "No Bid" Contract Knute Petersen, vice-president of a Chicago firm that also want ed a shot at the Air Force busi saved the government "well over a million dollars" had he been allowed to bid on the order. The contract for 100,000 launchers went to Century In dustries Corp., of San Pedro, Calif., at a price of $3,662,000 or $36.62 per unit. Petersen said he would have bid about $26 Knoebel said his bid would have run aDoui $zh. Denies Bad Faith Irving L. Babitt, president of Century, denied that his price was too high or that any "bad faith or improper actions" were involved in his firm's winning the Air Force order. Rep. F. Edward Hebert (D-La.) chairman of an Armed Services subcommittee investigating the Century contract, said the sub committee, will want to know at further hearings, probably late next week, not only who at the Pentagon ordered the busi ness awarded to Century, but why he did so. The subcommittee has heard testimony that last fall at about the same time the Air Force was dealing with Century the Navy was having trouble with launch' ers, of a somewhat different na ture, made by Century under an earlier Navy contract. Mediation Chief Sees Decline in Meddling Portland (U.R The direc tor of the U.S. Mediation Service says there will be "more media tion and less meddling" by the service in employer-union nego tiations. . . Joseph F. Einnegan, on a tour of the Northwest, said Friday the service will leave it to labor and management to iron out dif ferences as far as possible and intervene only when they are stalemated and ask for help. He' said that even with this policy the service is getting its hands full of cases. Two Men Die After Shooting in Longview . Portland .(U.R) Art Eaton, 44, Longview tax company op erator was shot and killed and one of his drivers was fatally wounded at Longview Friday night. Police said Jack Brookerson, 45, Longview, apparently shot Eaton and then turned the .38 caliber pistol on himself. Brook erson died early Saturday in a local hospital. Police said Brookerson, em ployed irregularly by Eaton for the last five years, apparently became upset over being tem porarily laid off his job. The shooting occurred while Eaton was feeding his chinchillas in a shed near his taxi office and home here. Hank Murder Trial Halts Until Monday Portland (U.R) The prosecu tion Friday attempted to show that one of the motives for the slaying of Diane Hank was the 16-year-old girl's talk about the gambling and narcotics opera tions of Wey Him Fong. The first degree murder trial of Wey Him Fong and his wife, anerry, in uircuii ourt nere recessed Friday until Monday. Friends of the slain girl tes tified Friday that she had told them that Fong often had nar cotics at his house, and that she and the Fongs had smoked mari juana together, bne also told them he ran a gambling house, and cautioned them about re peating the information, they said. Diane's body was found beside the Evergreen Highway near Washougal, Wash., in February, 1954. She was last seen alive when she spent the night of Jan. 6, 1954 at the Fongs' home, the state contends.
