Pelfon Dam Fate
Hinges on Election
Madras 0J.R The fate of
Pelton dam, under consideration
as a major hydroelectric devel
opment in Jefferson county since
1949, will hinge on an election
planned Saturday, Dec. 10, at
the Warm . Sprigs Indian reser
vation, it was reported today.
In Portland, a PGE spokesman
said work might start by next
spring.
Eligible Indian voters on that
date will decide whether to en
ter into a contract with Portland
General Electric Company, ac
cording to Owen Tanner, attor
ney for the tribal council.
Part of the proposed project
would be on Warm Springs
property.
Eligible Indians will vote from
8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at two locations
on the reservations. Thirty per
cent of the registered voters
must cast ballots for the election
to be valid and a majority must
approve the contract.
Cyprus Troops Get
Wartime Status
Nicosia, Cyprus (U.PJ Brit
ain today gave wartime status
to 12,000 troops in this Mediter
ranean island colony to crush
savage terrorism which has kill
ed six British soldiers m recent
days.
The orders put the seven bat
talions now stationed in Cyprus
on "active service." It is a meas
ure which Britain has never
taken in the Middle East in
peacetime before, even at the
height of anti-British disturb
ances, in the Suez Canal Zone.
British troops overseas are
generally regarded as being on
peacetime garrison duty with
the exception of those in Korea
and those fighting bandits in
Malaya and Kenya.
The order was yet another
indication of the gravity with
which the British view the
mounting terrorism and follow
ed imposition of a state of
emergency.
Bulganin's Talk
Raps Portugal
Madras, India (UP.) Soviet
Premier Nikolai Bulganin made
another open bid to woo India
into the Communist camp today
by denouncing Portugal for re
taining colonies on the Indian
subcontinent.
There is "no justification by
which any foreign country still
has territory in India," Bulganin
said.
He noted in a speech that
there are Portuguese colonies on
this continent Goa, Daman and
Diu and said "this is a shame
for civilized people."
There was loud applause and
cheers from the Indian audience.
There long has been agitation
in India for Portuguese with
drawals from the enclaves which
Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru has termed "pimples" on
the face of India. Portugal has
stood fast and declared the ter
ritories to be a part of Portugal
itself.
Bulganin was certain of Indian
approval when he spoke strong
ly for the Indian side of the argu
ment during his current tour of
this country with Soviet Com
munist party chief Nikita Khrushchev.

Morocco Debate Ban
Wins Support of US
United Nations, N.Y (U.R)
The United States supported 31
members of powerful Arab-Asian
and Latin American blocs today
in their proposal to kill debate
on France's relations with Mor
occo. The 31 countries made their
proposal formally in the Gen
eral Assembly's Main Political
Committee. It was regarded as
a move to clear the last obstacle
to France's remove from its
agenda the Algerian question,
which caused the French to walk
out of the Assembly Sept. 30.
Although the French announced
that they would return, now that
the Algerian question was killed,
their appearance was delayed
until the Moroccan question is
disposed of. In previous years,
French delegates have stayed
out of the debate on Morocco.

Showdown Seen
In Aircraft Feud
Washington (U.R) The Air
Force -Army feud, over the
Army's expanding aircraft fleet
appeared headed today for a
showdown before Defense Sec
retary Charles E. Wilson.
The battle has erupted be
cause the Army wants to use
its air arm more and the Air
Force suspects the Army is try
ing to establish an air force of
its own.'
The Army, while denying any
intent to duplicate the combat
jobs of the Air Force, is bent
on getting changes made in a
1952 agreement which it regards
as gravely restricting its flying
rights. .
The Air Force suspects that
the senior service aims eventu
ally to establish a new air force
of its own.
Army Secretary Wilber M.
Brucker said last week that his
service is interested only in rela
tively slow-flying and low-flying
unarmed aircraft. But that
didn't quiet Air Force concern.
The controversy broke into
the open last week when Air
Secretary Donald A. Quarles dis
closed he had overruled an Air
Force general and permitted the
Army to test a new aviation
unit in the Louisiana war games.
But in doing so, Quarles stated
emphatically that the "under
lying issue" of Army and Air
Force doctrine remains.

noori at Peacock Hole on the
