Transmission Line
Almost Completed
Boise, Idaho U.R) Idaho
Power company Saturday an
nounced its 47-mile, 230,000 volt
transmission line between Baker
and La Grande, Ore., was 90 per
cent complete.
The line will provide a sec
ond Idaho Power company link
with the five-state systems mak
ing up the Northwest power
pool. Present link with the pool
is through eastern Idaho and
Montana.
Working in mountainous ter
rain through cold and stormy
weather conditions, up to 85 men
of the company's mobile crews
have dug all the required holes,
many of which have necessitated
blasting through solid rock
depths of eight to 11 feet. All
pole line structures also have
been set.
Principle remaining work is
the stringing of conductor for the
three-line circuits. Thirty miles
of this work has been completed.
Nearly one million pounds of
high voltage conductor are
needed for the job.

The trim, bright-eyed explor
er said, he felt in top condition
despite his 67 years. This he
credited to "a fortunate choice
of ancestors and a lifelong re
gimen of exercise."
As he neared the plane, pretty
Kerry Smyser wished him luck
and he stopped to converse with
her for several minutes.
"If you haven't time to notice
a pretty girl you're really get
ting old," he said later.
Byrd appeared anxious to
smooth over his earlier remarks
that "no woman has ever stepped
on Little America and we have
found it to be the most silent
and peaceful place in the world."
On his arrival here Friday he
said, "now that I think it over,
Little America is the loneliest
place on earth because there are
no women."
He also said he is consider
ing taking women to the South
Pole some day. He already has
1,500 applicants, he said.
Byrd said that many other
nations, including Russia, Great
Britain, France and Australia,
are rushing plans to set up bases
in the Antarctic in conjunction
with the geophysical year of
1957-58.
The United States will set up
five or six bases in the Antarc
tic during the next two years,
he said, with other nations estab
lishing a total of 35.

National Guard
Fire Shots at Car
New Castle, Ind. (U.R) In
diana National Guardsmen fired
shots at a car that crashed
through a road block and tried
to run down three soldiers here
Saturday as troops patrolled this
strike-torn city.
Maj. John Anderson, Shelby
ville battalion commander, said
the car stopped at a barricade
and flasher signal, turned its
lights off and smashed through.
The guardsmen "hit the ditch"
and fired twice.
The guardsmen were ordered
here Wednesday when violence
in connection with the long Per
fect Circle Cprp. strike broke
out.
Patrols were alerted to look
for a dark-colored, postwar mod
el car bearing Kentucky license
plates. A car of similar descrip
tion ran another blockade, An
derson said. Authorities believed
three men were in the car.
Truman Blasts
Foreign Relations
Seattle, Wash. (U.R) Form
er President Harry S. Truman
Saturday accused the Eisenhow
er administration of throwing
"foreign relations into the politi
cal arena," and said the Geneva
conference didn't "amount to a
damn."
Mr. Truman was in a vigorous
political mood at a press confer
ence. He also raked Vice Presi
dent Richard Nixon over the
coals and Republicans came in
for his typical "give-'em-hell"
blasting.
As for Nixon, . Mr. Truman
said:
"I don't like him and I don't
want to discuss him. He called
me a traitor and if I was a trai
tor, then the country is in a hell
of a fix."
Asked About VP
A reporter had asked about
vice presidential qualifications,
and prefaced the queetion by
saying there had been a lot of
talk about Nixon in connection
with Mr. Eisenhower's illness.
The former President said he
agreed with New York Gov. Av
erell Harriman, a potential Dem
ocratic candidate for President,
who said here earlier this week
"the hope of Geneva had been
turned into the hoax of Geneva."
"Mr. Harriman knows what
he's talking about. He had to
deal with those Russians." (Har
riman formerly was ambassa
dor . to Russia under Mr. Tru
man.) "President Franklin Roosevelt

over a 24-year period in Ken
tucky revealed that calf losses
averaged 14 per cent, with about
85 per cent of the deaths oc

losses were abortion, stillbirth,
diarrhea and calf pneumonia.

Survey Shows Fewer
Gl's Go Oyer
Washington U.R) Fewer
servicemen are going over the
hill. !
The big drop in AWOL's and
desertions was attributed by the
armed services Saturday to edu
cational programs, help on the
GI's personal and family prob
lems, and stiffer penalties au
thorized by President Eisenhow
er.
The Army reported it has cut
its monthly AWOL rate from
15.2 per 1,000 enlisted men
in 1952 to 5.2 per 1,000 this year.
In 1952, the Navy had 29,490
offenses of more than three
days, including desertions. Last
year the number was cut to 18,
542, and in the first eight months
of this year only 6,841 sailors
have gone over the hill for three
days or more.
The Air Force, which had a
monthly AWOL rate of 7.6 per
1.000 men in 1950 and 5.13 per
1,000 in 1952, has cut the num
ber to 1.86 per 1,000 this year.
The rate of Air Force desertions
has dropped from .346 per 1,000
last year to .225 per 1,000 this
year.
The Marine Corps said it had
5,849 "administrative desertions"
in 1952 and cut that to 4,882 last
year, t or tne tirst seven montns
this year, the number was 1,895.
AWOL's and desertions reach
ed their peak during the Korean
War.
