Knife and Fork Club
Hears of Intelligence
Operations in Turkey
Arch Coleman, wartime agent
for the- Office of Strategic Serv
ices in Turkey, described the
"cloak and dagger" operations
of the OSS at the Rogue Valley
Knife and Fork club last night.
In an informal address which
emphasized the humorous side
of a grim business, Coleman said
the organization is the answer
to good intelligence services,
more than the . Phillips Oppen
heim type of skullduggery many
people think . of in connection
with spy operations.
Had newer Names
The' early part of his talk
Coleman devoted to a descrip
tion of how he arrived in Tur
key and built his organization,
each member having a code de
signation of the name of a
flower. He.himself-was "Snap
dragon," and he said the. group
delighted in calling the smelliest
of the lot "Heliotrope." No one,
he said, would accept the desig
nation "Pansy."
' He gave examples of the in
formation which was collected
and transmitted . to the United
States by radio, including the
first word of the V-2 aerial tor
pedo, and regular reports from
the Skoda munitions plant oh
what equipment was going to
what military organization.
Peace Feelers Made
Two highlights of his service,
he indicated, were when two
high-ranking Axis officers, an
Hungarian and a German, at
tempted to extend "peace
feelers" through him, both of
them saying they were willing
to lose the war to the western
Allies provided they could pro
tect themselves from Russia.
The "feeler" from Germany
came shortly before the attempt
on Hitler's life, Coleman related.
This distrust of Russia led
Coleman Into serious comments
of the evening, dealing with the
worldwide ambitions of Russia,
which, he said, has a foreign
policy which has not changed in
more than, 100 years, the aim of
which is eventual 'world domi
nation. Legend of Will '
He cited the legend of the will
of Peter the Great, which sup
posedly was written to guide
Peter's successors as rulers ' of
Russia. Whether or not there
was such a well, Coleman said,
it might as well exist, for Rus
sian policy has followed the sup
posed Instructions of the will
domination of succeeding rings
of peripheral states. He pointed
out how Russia started as one
small nation, and over the years
has extended its sway east and
south, and more recently, to the
western satellite nations.
- His recommendations to meet
this continuing threat included
maintenance of armed strength,
an intelligence service second to
none, maintenance .of friends
among nations and the conver
sion of friends into allies, and a
strong emphasis on military

government skills in the armed
forces.
Phases of Victory
He quoted Karl von Clause
witz, the noted Prussian military
author, in defining victory as
having three necessary phases,
disarming, occupation, and de
struction of the will to resist.
"Wars are fought for mar
kets," Coleman declared, and
indicated that there always
would be wars until somebody
comes up with a solution for the
problem of an equitable distribu
tion of markets. -
He pointed out that China is
the historic market for Japan
and Britain, and that with Red
China not fulfilling this historic
function, the U.S. has had to bol
ster the economy of these two
nations.
"If we can wean China away
from Red Russia," he said, "we
will have won World War III be
fore it starts."
Last Meeting
Club President Dunbar Car
penter was master of ceremonies
for the concluding meeting of
the year for the club. He an
nounced that last week's election
had named R. W. Gray, Eugene
Thorndike and Mrs. Harry D.
Potson as new directors for the
club, succeeding Dr. Edward
Durno, Ma its Gibbon and Rol
and Hubbard.
" Next year's program of speak
ers will start with Dr. Walter
Judd, congressman and former
missionary, if congressional du
ties permit him to be here, and
with Norman Thomas, socialist
leader and frequent candidate
for president.
Other speakers will deal with
humor, politics,, travel, astron
omy and ; mental gymnastics,
Carpenter announced.
Brodie Youngster
Shows Improvement
Chicago (U.R) Three-year-old
Rodney Dee Brodie, the sur
vivor of the famed Brodie Sia
mese twins, continued to show
improvements from a mysterious
brain hemorrhage today.
; ,But the little boy's condition
was still listed as critical at the
University of Illinois Education
al and Research hospitals. Doc
tors said the hemorrhaging con
tinued but "slowly enough to be
controlled." I
He moved his arms and legs a
little yesterday, seemed alert,
and began to take food.
Rodney Dee was separated
from his head - joined Siamese
twin brother in a history-making
1932 operation.
. His brother died, but Rodney
Dee appeared on his way to a
normal life, until he was strick
en last Tuesday. He was brought
here from his farm home at Fer
ris, 111., and lapsed into a 51
hour coma, from which he re
covered Sunday.

Reasons for Delay
Washington U.R) Two con
gressional committees started the
wheels rolling today for a full
scale investigation of the govern
ment's "muddled" polio vaccine
policies.
The House Banking committee
called Dr. Leonard A. Scheele,
U.S. surgeon general, to testify
Wednesday on why he has rec
ommended at least a week's de
lay in the nation's Salk vaccina
tion program.
The Senate Commerce com
mittee ordered a separate in
quiry beginning Monday. Chair
man Warren G. Magnuson (D.
Wash.) said "congressional ac
tion in the' muddled situation is
mandatory."
Congress swung into the situ
ation as a committee represent
ing the 48 state governors ex
pressed general satisfaction with
the way federal plans are devel
oping for fair distribution of
vaccine supplies.
Gov. Frank G. Clement of
Tennessee, committee chairman,
also said he is "very optimistic
that the Salkvaccine will stand
as an effective weapon in the po
lio fight." He and others on the
cemmittee refused to express
any criticism of Scheele's action
in halting vaccinations.
Scheele announced the deci
sion Sunday. He said the time is
needed so federal experts can
run a new safety check on all
current vaccine stocks.
The Public Health Service
said it has confirmed that 51
children inoculated with the
vaccine have been stricken with
polio.
Salk Continues Inoculations
At Pittsburgh, meanwhile, Dr.
Jonas Salk, developer of the
vaccine, had his research team
inoculate some 200 school chil
dren Monday with vaccine test
ed in his own laboratory.
The children were the first of
about 8,000 who will get shots
as part of what a spokesman
called "the normal research that
has been going on for two and a
half years on the part of -Dr,
Salk." Salk has said he would
continue to try to make the vac
cine, already declared 80 to 90
per cent effective, as nearly
100 per cent effective as possi
ble. '
The spokesman said Dr. Salk's
personal tests have "nothing to
do" with the government recom
mendation that further shots be
postponed. , . v
The government's recommen
dation means that the whole
vaccination timetable is being
thrown far behind schedule be
cause of the delay required for
all present vaccine supplies to
be reapproved. That delay will
result even though some double-
checked vaccine is expected to
be released late this week.
Jail Escapees
Sent To Prison
Salem (U.R) A couple of
Salem youths were in the Ore
gon state penitentiary todav af
ter an escape from Polk county
jail in Dallas that was something
like seeing the same movie over
again.
. Earl L. Jairl. 20. and Raymond
J. Nyhus, 18, first broke out of
the Polk county jail last Thurs
day by wriggling through a jail
ventilator, stole a car, and were
captured several hours later by
city police in Salem.
Sunday night it was "here we
go again." The two once more
wriggled through the ventilator
and once more stole a car. And
again after only hours of free-
dow they were captured by city
police in Salem.
Jairl and Nvhus were oonviet
ed on burglary charges and sen
tenced to seven years each in the
penitentiary, where they were
received yesterday.

Negotiation Urged
On Kaiser Dam Plan
Vancouver, B. C. (U.R)
Jean Lesage, Canadian resources
minister, said here last night the
federal Canadian government
wouldn't shut the door on talks
about the proposed Kaiser dam
project.
Lesage spoke at a banquet of
the Pacific Northwest Trade As
sociation.
He suggested "discussion and
negotiation" with the United
States government regarding the
controversial Kaiser corporation
deal with the British Columbia
cabinet..
. He said if Canada doesn't want
to see the economic future of its
West Coast area jeopardized, it
cannot allow the sale in the
United States of on-site or down
stream power from British Co
lumbia at a price corresponding
to the average cost of power cur
rently available on the market.

Hawaii Statehood
Seen Handing Land
To Communist Party
Washington (U.R) Rep John
R. Pillion (R-N.Y.) said today
that granting statehood to Ha
waii "would . only serve to de
liver the Hawaiian state govern
ment to the Communist party on
a silver platter."
Pillion made the charge in a
House speech on a bill to admit
Hawaii and Alaska to the union.
A vote is scheduled late today,
with both sides conceding the
out come will be close.
Pillion asserted that candidates
endorsed by two "Communistic
controlled" labor unions won in
a majority of contests last No
vember for seats in the Hawai
ian Legislature.
"The last session of the Hawai
ian legislature," he said, "was
a Communist holiday. They pass
ed bill after bill on the orders
of the Communist ILWU."
The ILWU is the International
Longshoremen's and Warehouse
men's Union, one of the two un
ions in the islands Pillion said
was Communist controlled. The
other, he said, is the United Pub
lic Workers Union. He noted
both were expelled from the-
CIO on grounds they were domi
nated by Communists.

We honestly believe that there has never been such a difference between
low-priced cars as there is today. Driving: them will quickly show you
that it isn't even fair to compare other low-priced cars with the Motoramic
Chevrolet Driving will show you that Chevrolet is actually stealing the
thunder from the high-priced cars. So won't you come in and try out
a new Chevrolet? Well rest our case on what the car itself can tell you.

the ten year average. There was
20 per cent more water in the
reservoirs than on April 1, how
ever. .

pated in the Owyhee, Malheur,
The ILWU has about 25,000
members in the territory, Pillion
said, and the UPW has about
2000 "government public work
ers" as members.
Pillion was challenged by Rep.
A. L. Miller (R-Neb.) who said
a 1951 FBI report showed there
were fewer than 100 Communists
in Hawaii, compared with 22,
573 in New York.
Hawaii convicted a group of
Communist leaders, Miller said.
He asked what New York had
done about the far greater num
ber of Communists there.
Pillion replied that Commu
nists in New York don't exer
cise "nearly the degree of poli
tical control" in New York that
they do in Hawaii.
Pillion said he also opposes
statehood for both Hawaii and
Alaska because it would give
them "an excessive and dispro
portionate power in the U. S.
Senate."
Each would get two senators
and each voter in the two terri
tories would have a "voting pow
er" in the Senate equal to that
of 33 voters in California, he
