U.S. Opposed To Red
Treaty With Austria
Forbidding Alliances
By DONALD J. 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.

Neuberger Attacks
Hells Canyon Plans
Washington (U.R) Sen. 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.
