the following dispatch.
By RALPH OLSON
Written for United Pratt
"' Moscow U.R) So far our
food has been good and plentiful,
but of course not what we'd eat
at home. We've had lots of fish,
but not one of us has found a
steak.
Why, this bunch of 12 farm
people out for dinner anywhere
else would all have had steaks
for dinner. The fish was good
though breaded whitemeat
chicken filet. And a novelty for
us yis the tea, the best I have
ever drunk.
At the mammoth agricultural
, fair, we were given lots of fresh
fruit, including apricots, apples,
plums, grapes and some of the
best peaches I ever ate.
In the Hotel National Restau
rant, however, we were offered
only preserved fruits, canned ap
ples in juice and cherries and
. plums.
I hear from people who live
here that oranges cost between
80 and 90 cents apiece in Ameri
can money, and eggs 40 cents
each.
I paid $9.50 for a bottle of
wine that wasn't the best. I
bought the wine because Ameri
cans here worry about tap water,
although some drink it. Most Rus
sians seem to drink bottled soda
water, when . they want water.
People don't seem to smile
much, at least the people you see
on the streets. They seem very
sober faced, but maybe that's
their nature. They've had a pret
ty serious existence and some
hard struggles.
In my opinion, the materials
don't seem to be the best quality,
although I guess they are ade

The trial of Bernice Hampton
rTtex White, accused of the first
degree murder "of a fellow, mill
worker March 2, was.expectea
to go to the jury this afternoon.
rvniv rinsing arguments re
mained after the defense rested
its case at 11:30 a.m.
White is charged with first de
gree murder in the March 2
killing of Eugene Raymond Bine,
Phoenix, during an altercation
at a Talent mill. White has not
denied killine Birk. but has
based his defense on temporary
insanity.
This morning the defense
railed a final witness. Dr. John
Waterman, Portland psychia
trist. The court session was de
layed one hour due to the inabil
ity of Dr. Waterman to be pres
ent until 10:30 a.m.
Examined Defendant
: -Dr. Waterman is director of
the mental health section of the
Oregon state board of health. He
examined White on June 23 at
Defense Attorney Robert Dun
can's reauest. He testified that
the information he obtained
from examination of White left
m doubt in his mind that the de
fendant was an enilentic.
, Duncan then described White's
medical history. Based on this,
and on his examination of White.
Duncan asked the doctor what
the medical probabilities were
that White was in a "psycho
motor eeizure" at the time of the
attack on Birk. Dr. Waterman
answered, "There is no absolute
proof that he was in a seizure.
There is a probability that he
was, but it is not too great."
Remembered Details
. District Attorney Walter Nun
ley, during cross-examination,
told Dr. Waterman White had re
membered and related in detail
events leading to, during, and
following the attack.. Dr. Water
man testified that the ability of
the defendant to remember the
events so clearly "would indi
cate that he didn't have a seiz
ure." He added information he
had received, plus his examina
tion findings, made it his belief
that the "medical probabilities
are that he (White) does not have
a psycho-motor type of epilepsy."
. The doctor stated that only
two things the defendant's de
nial of having repeated- 'Til kill
him, I'll kill him" at the time of
the incident, and his inability to

Des Moines, la. -flJ.R) Twelve
Russian farmers kept smiling to
day but made It plain they were
more than a little upset by the
flock of newsmen and photogra
phers tagging along on their tour
of Iowa's tall-corn country.
"Because of the lenses, we
can't see the cows," complained
delegation leader Vladimar
Matskevich, although he kept
smiling when he said it.
The Russians, accompanied by
three Soviet newsmen and some
100 American newsmen and
photographers, toured the 160-
acre farm of Richard Alleman
near Slater, la., north of here.
Their main .purpose was to
learn how America builds up
huge food surpluses while So
viet production lags.
The Russians expressed keen
interest in Alleman's farm and
jotted down copious notes. But
Matskevich kept firing a series
of barbed comments in the di
rection of newsmen and photog
raphers.' The Soviet farmers went to
the Alleman farm after an enth
siastic welcome .by Iowa resi
dents and officials upon their
arrival last night. -
A crowd estimated at 2,700
persons waved and applauded
the Russians as they arrived
here by plane in ill-fitting suits
but wearing broad smiles.
A sign with "Welcome" spell
ed out in Russian drew the big
gest laughter from the Soviet
delegation. The sign-bearer was
Charlotte Graves, Des Moines, a
young pretty Russian major at
Bryn Mawr (Pa.) college
Vladimir Matskevich, balding
chief of the delegation and first
deputy minister of 'Russian agri
culture, beamed and waved.
In a five-minute speech, he
said he was "happy" to be mak
ing the trip. .

Note Rejected
... Duncan offered, in evidence a
note Dr. Waterman had written
to him shortly, after examining
White on June 23, but Nunley
objected. After a conference be
tween Presiding Judge H. K.
Hanna, the two ' attorneys, the
witness and the defendant in the
court's chamber, Judge Hanna
rulfd against the admission of
xne note.
In the closing minutes of the
morning session Duncan read the
defense's exhibit C, a U.S. Ma

White, who was discharged in
1939, a few months after he en
listed, on the basis of the report
which diagnosed him as an epi

Democrat Senators
Attack Ike's Move
To Hold Up Funds
Morse, Neuberger
Join in Chorus
Washington (U.R) A group
of Democratic senators today de
nounced President Eisenhower's
decision to hold up funds for
unbudgeted navigation, flood
control and power projects.
. The president announced last
week after signing a public
works appropriation bill that he
would not allow a start on 107
projects added by Congress to
his budget recommendations un
til adequate engineering and
cost studies have been made on
them.
Morse Gives Views
Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D
Wyo.) said the effect of the pres
ident's decision would be to
"transfer to the bureau of the
budget and its anonymous as
sistants the legislative power
that . exists in the Congress of
the United States."
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) said
the decision : was "uncalled . for
and inexcusable." He challenged
the president to go out" to the
Pacific Northwest and "explain
his statement to the people
there."
Joining in floor debate on
the issue, Sen. Mike Manfield
(D-Mont.) compared the "im
pounding order with a Defense
Department decision to impound
extra funds voted by Congress
for the Marine Corps. He said
the "executive branch is saying
it will hold up any funds it
wants to." .
Second Parliament
The decision shows, Sen. Hu
bert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.)
said, that the Budget Bureau
is "taking on the aspect of a
second parliament." And Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.)
said it demonstrated that the
administration ' "is unalterably
opposed to vitally needed new
water resource development
projects in the Pacific North
west." Sen. Henry M.' Jackson (D
Wash.) called the decision a de
nial of the right of the people
of the Northwest to be repre
sented by their senators and
congressmen. He said the presi
dent "will regret indeed such
a course of action."
PUC Has Power To
Order Rail Service
Salem U.R) The Oregon
Public Utilities Commission has
the power to order railroads to
cancel plans for abandonment of
service. Public Utilities Commis
sioner Charles H. Heltzel said to-'
day. '-;"" . ;
A request from State Senators
Gene Brown, Grants Pass; Paul
Geddes, Roseburg, and Philip
Lowry, Medford, that Heltzel
order Southern Pacific to con
tinue passenger train service on
the Portland-Ashland run had
not reached Heltzel's office this
morning. Heltzel declined to
comment on the complaint until
he had had time to study it.
However, he declared that he
has authority to call a hearing in
such cases and to order service
continued. He said railroads have
recognized that right in the past.
SP has announced plans to dis
continue passenger service on the
line August 7. '

Computation of Tax
On Orchard Trees
Getting Under Way
' Computation of appraised or
chard tree values as determined
by state tax commission , apprai
sers started today, Jackson
County Assessor Robert Fowler
said. . , :
. Fowler was ordered by the
board of equalization Thursday
to place on tax rolls the ap
praised value of orchard trees,
The order followed a recom
mendation from the district at
torney's office that the board
comply with a commission order
that the job be done prior to
Aug. 15.
Fowler said the total apprais
ed value of orchard trees should
be figured by the end of this
week.
Millage rates for Jackson
county probably will not be
ready for about ?a month, Fowler
said. ,
Appraised values of pear or
chards, Fowler, said, have been
set at $300 for class A orchards
and $225 for class B. Orchards
less than nine years old are not
assessed because commission ap
praisers believed younger or
chards did not have a substan
tial value.
Apple trees will be assessed
$225 per acre, Fowler said, but
he said he has not checked the
commission appraised values for
peach orchards.
Fowler said he did not know
what criterion commission ap
praisers used in determining
difference between class A and
B pear orchards.

Coolly Recti ved
Geneva U.R Soviet Pre
mier Nikolai Bulganin joined
the Western Big Three heads of
governments today by declaring
Russia's intention to do every
thing possible , to make the Ge
neva summit conference a suc
cess. " - :
President Eisenhower, who lis
tened attentively to Bulganin'a
address closing the opening
day's conference at the summit,
expressed his satisfaction with
the seemingly determined atti
tude of all delegations present
to "work for an honest pursuit
of peace."
To Do"AU It Can
Bulganin climaxed the day of
hopeful and optimistic state
ments and of a cordiality un
matched since World War n by
assuring the other government
chiefs that Russia will do "all it
can to justify the hopes of all
peoples waiting for a tranquil
and peaceful life." ...
Jle said the Russians "hold a
different point of ; view (from
the West) on some questions."
Bulganin, in his address to the
conference, proposed creation of
a security system for Europe
which would include all Euro
pean nations and the United
States.
British. French Plans
. Earlier, Britain's Prime Min
ister Anthonv Eden auf seated a
five-power non-aggression pact
including a reunited Germany
with arms limitation on both
sides of a demilitarized, zone in
Europe. -French
Premier Edgar Faure
injected the one element of the
day which was disquieting to the
American delegation. He pro
posed, in far greater detail than
he had ' discussed it with the
U.S. representatives in advance,
a French " plan for budgetary
control of armaments and a pos
sible European' security system
in which the Soviets might join
the West. . -
Faure's speech was coolly re
ceived by the American delega
tion. President Eisenhower's speech,
while challenging, was far from
pessimistic.. And the eight-point
program he 'proposed for a cold
war armistice was in keeping
with the cordial atmosphere in
which this first top level confer
ence since Potsdam's disappoint
ments opened in the Palace of
Nations. .

'2. Discuffiinni on "the total

This, he said, would entail "re. '

3. "We should be readv to
