Sen. Meuberger Forecasts Russian In Power Unless U.S. Policies Are Washington Failure to use such sites as Hells Canyon "for the fullest possible development" could react to the advantage of Russia in the worldwide tapping of energy resources, Senator Richard L. Neuberger of Oregon said in a speech in the Senate recently. Neuberger cited new hydro electric projects, now under con struction in the Soviet Union, which he said would be more In the Day's Hews ,, Br FRANK JENKINS -1 suppose you must have noted that the unconquerable strait of Juan de Fuca has been con ouered at last. This thing that no one had ever been able to do before was done the other day by Bert Thomas, of Tacoma former U.S. Marine, inciden tally. He set out for Port Angeles, on the Washington side. Eleven hours and ten minutes after he slipped into the icy waters of the strait at Port Angeles he came out of the water at Vic toria, some 18 miles away. Thus the strait of Juan de Juca joins the English channel and the Dardenelles. All of them challenged that strange instinct in man which leads him to seek to conquer the unconquerable. - 1TOOLISH, you say? There are better things for men to do than risking their lives seeking to conquer the un conquerable? .-Wait a minute. :. Columbus was driven by that same urge when he set out to sail around the world which men then believed to be flat. Oh the way around, he stubbed his toe on the Western Hemis phere whose existence was not then even suspected. - GREAT GOOD TO THE WORLD has come of that acci dental discovery. IITHAT will happen when all 'the earth's unconquerable have been conquered? I wouldn't know but listen to this: Lawrence Bell, founder of the Bell Aircraft Corporation, said In Buffalo the other day that aviation - has taken one major step and has two to go. The first step, he pointed out, was taken when 'the Wright brothers proved that man need not be earthbound. Our next step, he added, Is to prove we can operate outside the earth's atmosphere. The third step will follow when we can operate outside the gravity field of the earth. ETS leave It there. That's far enough for man to CO. - , . , fMPLOYMENT in the United B States passed the 64,000,000 mark in June of this year.

And At the same time MORE MACHINES WERE BEING USED IN OUR COUN TRY THAN EVER BEFORE. 'THERE was a time when we re garded the machine as an ogre that took men's jobs away. We didn't just think it.

He declared that these huge Russian dams are a contrast with the Republican administration's "ap parent willingness to surrender so mighty a site as Hells Canyon for the puny dams planned by the Idaho Power company." Can't Afford 'Sacrifice' While pointing out that the United States is still far ahead in the production of electric pow er, Neuberger contended that this country could not afford to "sacrifice" what he called its "premium" power sites. He re minded the Senate that the po tential water-power output of the Soviet Union actually is greater than that of all of North America, even including such rivers as the Yukon, the St. Lawrence and the Athabasca. Figures compiled by the Joint Committee on the Economic Re port showed Russia has a hydro power potential of 469,000,000, 000 kilowatt hours and all of North America only 363,920,000, 000 kilowatt hours, Neuberger said. "If the Administration's policy of partial development at Hells Canyon is followed elsewhere, our full potential will never be reached and we will lag behind in this phase of energy resource use," he added. 'Ultimate Showdown' "Water power is the ultimate showdown phase of the interna tional contest," said the Oregon senator, "for water power can be generated without consuming such limited resources as oil and coal. Water power involves only a renewable resource, which is replenished with each winter's snowfall in the . mountains, whether those mountain 'are Soviet Drama Critic Cleared for Festival Washington 4U.R) A Russian drama critic headed for a Shake speare festival in Stamford, Conn, today through the "very pink of courtesy" (Romeo and Juliet) of the State Department. Connecticut is off limits to Soviet citizens. But the Russian Embassy Saturday, asked the State Department to "break the bitter bread of banishment" (Richard H) and allow Efevgeni V. Litoshko to cover the event. The department agreed to do "no act of common -passage, but a strain of rareness) (Cymbe- line). But "lest too light winning made the prize light" (Tempest), it waited until late Monday to approve the trip. Not wanting to "give dalliance to much reign" (Tempest), it gave him permission to stay for only "several" days. In a note, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles told Russia he hopes it would relax its trav el restrictions for Americans in similar circumstances. JUDGE APPOINTED i Salem U.R) Gov.

The Russians are known to be building "huge waterpower projects" at Kuibyshev, Kak hovka and Stalingrad with a total installed capacity of about 4,000,000 kilowatts, he said. The Kuibyshev, dam will eventually generate 2,000,000 - kilowatts, Stalingrad 1,700,000 kilowatts, and Kakhovka 250,000 kilowatts. He said information from behind the Iron Curtain indicated the Gorky power station, a 400,000 kilowatt unit, was to be brought to full production this year. A Fact of Life' . Growth of Russian power po tential was described by Neu berger as "a fact of life" which was "not something to be dis pelled by ' political campaign speeches or Hoover Commission reports bewailing the existence of TV A and the Bonneville Pow er Administration." "The Soviet Union may not catch up with us in power pro duction during our lifetime but no one knows how long the so- United Press To Have Large Corps At Geneva Parley Geneva (U.R) The United Press put two special bureaus into operation today to serve as headquarters for its news and photo coverage of next week's historic Big Four conference. The two conference bureaus, plus the regular U.P. Geneva office, will be manned by a large corps of reporters, writers, pho tographers and technicians from U.P. bureaus in Washington, London, Paris, Rome, Frankfurt and Bonn. Tatarian in Charge The special news staff -in Ge neva will be headed by Roger Tatarian, U.P. "general European news manager. Merriman Smith, U.P. White House reporter, will fly here from Washington to cov er President Eisenhower's activ-' ities. Other editors and reporters whom the U.P. is planning to send to the conference are Gene Patterson, manager of the Lon don bureau; Joseph W. Grigg, U.P. manager for Germany; Karol C; Thaler and Kenneth Miller, diplomatic correspond ents from the London bureau; Henry Shapiro, for 15 years U.P. bureau manager in Moscow; Rudy Wechmar, chief diplomatic correspondent in Bonn, and Ger ard de Sede of the Paris bureau. The conference staff will also include Melville Mark, U.P. res ident correspondent in Geneva. Central Building The main U.P. conference news bureau is located in the Geneva Electoral palace which has been designated by Swiss authorities as the central press building for the conference. It will be linked with U.P.'s European leased wire network by a special teletype circuit that will carry conference news ex clusively. The U.'P. newspictures bur eau for the conference also will be located in the Electoral Pal ace. Special darkroom and tele photo facilities are being install ed to enable the fastest possible transmission of newspictures by wire or radio to any receiving point in the world. The photo staff will be headed by Leo J. Stoecker, U.P. executive news pictures editor for Europe. TO Advantage Revised called cold war will last, and we cannot abandon or neglect the interests of Americans of the future," Neuberger stated. . "The magnitude of the power developments now being under taken by Russia are sufficiently impressive to give any patriotic American pause and during this pause, that Americans might well want to review that attitude of the present Republican admin istration toward such power sites as Hells Canyon," he added. "In the struggle between the free world and the Soviet world, energy reserves will play, a de cisive role in the ultimate pro duction of nuclear weapons, as well as more conventional arm aments. Energy also is decisive in the manufacture of the ar ticles of peace, those manufac tured goods which contribute to a nation's living standards. In the race to maintain leadership in the cold war, 'our nation should not be led down a course which will reduce the number of kilowatts needed for the future," Senator Neuberger concluded.
