(International) CoosCounlyOLCC o Employees Receive Backing in Probe Portland (U.R) The Oregon Liquor Control Commission has given a clean bill of health to its representatives in Coos county The s charge had been made that certain agents and em ployees of the commission in Coos county had shown partial ity in dealing wiih licensees. . But, Administrator W. H. Baillie told the commission yes terday that an investigation by Assistant Administrator Thomas complaint or criticism levelled at any employee of this commis sion." The commission accepted Bail lie's report. Applicants Turned Down Twenty-eight applications for renewal of liquor licenses were turned down by the commission. Among them were three from Coos Bay th$ Blue Moon, Oys ter Grotto and Del Oar Club. Baillie in his report on the .Coos county investigation said: 'IQn Oct. 24 a complaint was .-.received from the Coos Bay area to the effect that agents or em ployees of this commission were being unfair,. discriminatory and gestapo-like in their desire to make personal reputation at the stake of fair play in that com-1 munity. No Criticism Found Upon receipt of this complaint, I immediately requested Mr. SheridaS to make a complete and thorough investigation" of this matter. This is now being completed and I am happy to report that following a great number of personal interviews, including one with the original complainant, Mr. Sheridan was unable to find any complaint or criticism levelled at any em ployee of this commission." FIRE CLAIMS THREE Hamilton O. U.R) Three young children died in a blazet lasftiight that began when their sister said she threw a skillet nf fond into the rloset after it caught fire whife she was cook- ing(ipper. Weather Mild In Middle West By UNITED PRESS Mild weather returned to the nation's midsection today and wild winds were expected to die down in the Pacific Northwest. Temperatures jumped almost 40 degrees from below zero levels in much of the northern Midwest and Rockies. The mer cury went from 16 below to 22 above at Eau Claire, Wis. The break in the cold wave was credited to warm southern air from the Gulf which flowed over most of the central and western portions of the coun try. In the Seattle area, mean while, winds as high as 63 miles per hour battered down trees, utility poles, and scaffolding yes terday. Two men were feared drowned when high waves, lashed by 60-mile-per-hour winds, swamped their bot in Commencement bay near Ta coma, Wash. The winds were expected to ease today, although guests of 20 to 35 miles per hour were predicted. Don Nichols Elected Young Farmers Head Election of officers was held at the regular meeting of the Jackson County Young Farm ers club, Monday. Officers elected were Don Nichols, Ashland, president; Bob Fisher, Medford, vice-pres ident; Ernest Lathrop, Medford, secretary; and Clayton Charley, Medford, treasurer. The club recently made $1C0 available to Dr. E. M. Hana- walt, Central Point veterinary, for research on internal para sites in livestock. Dr. Hanawalt has agreed to acquire, infected animals for study. The money donated by the club is to be used for the purchase of feed for the animals. ' FLOOD AND FIRE- Dansbury, Conn. U.R A few days after Arthur Peterson replaced flood-damaged stock in his store, most of it was de stroyed by a $10,000 fire. American Can Eyes Expansion at Salem Salem (U.R) American Can company officials said today they had taken option on IIV2 acres of industrial land in North Salem for possible company ex pansion. E. G. Gross, Oregon repre sentative of the company, said marketing and engineering sur veys were in progress to determ ine whether an extension of the company's operations from Port land to Salem would be prac tical. Gross said that major produc tion would still remain at Port land. Salem businessmen said they had heard American Can would construct a plant costing as much as $2,500,000 and employing 250 persons. Parliament Told Heroin Can Be Cooked London (U.R) The British Medical association warned Par liament today that unscrupulous drug dealers can cook heroin on a kitchen stove and beat any government ban on its manu facture. The House of Commons now has such a ban under considera tion. The BMA, in a statement dis tributed to members of Parlia ment, argued that the drug can be strictly - controlled only so long as physicians have the say- so on its use. Argentine Govt. Outlaws Prostitution Buenos Aires, Argentina (U.R) The revolutionary govern ment Tuesday night revoked a Peron decree which legalized prostitution in Argentina nearly a year ago. The Peron decree, ending a 19-year ban on prostitution, was issued on Dec. 30, 1954, at the height of the feud between de posed dictator Juan D. Peron and the Roman Catholic church. It authorized the mayor of Buenos Aires and all provincial and ter ritorial governors to open brothels. GIFT HEADQUARTERS 0 Wejf BEST ELECTRIC APPLIANCES ID M1XMA5TTO . . WMHI BAKFX I 6WU.

Reactor Testing Station Bustling Vith Expansion Idaho Falls (U.R) The Na tional Reactor Testing Station, where the nation's nuclear phys icists and engineers find out if their theories held up in actual practice, is bustling with a far reaching program of expansion. Manager Allan C. Johnson of the Idaho operations office of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commis sion, said he was "extremely happy" with work conducted at the station so far and prospects for the future. The station, spread over the sagebrush-covered lava rock flats between Idaho Falls and Arco, already has an operating staff of 2,150, and increase of 300 in the past year. Johnson and other officials of the AEC and the Phillips Petrol eum Corporation, whose atomic division operates much of the station for the government, said the staff is expected to grow to at least 2,720 by the end of 1956. Two Projects The steady growth of Idaho Falls, headquarters of the sta tion, and the rest of the area, including such communities as Arco and Blackfoot shows the confidence of Idahoans now in the permanency of the installa tion. The AEC has just announced two important, expansion proj ects for the station. One will be construction of a $15,000,000 engineering test re actor, using enriched uranium 235 for fuel, that is designed -to speed tests of various materials under exposure to atomic radi ation. The construction contract already has been awarded to the Henry J. Kaiser Co. The other project, costing $3, 500,000, will be refueling and modification of the experimental atomic submarine engine already in place at the station. The origi nal engine was the prototype of the power plant now powering the USS Nautlus, the Navy's first atomic submarine. Second Breeder Reactor Next spring, work on a largel ship reactor presumably to power such craft as aircraft car riers will begin, with a com pletion target of 1958. The test facilities will cost about $6,000, 000, with engineering, design and construction of the reactor itself estimated at around $19, 000,000. The station's important chem ical plant, designed among other things to help retrieve still use able fuel from partially spent reactor fuel elements, is under going "fairly extensive modifi cations." The experimental breeder re actor, which long ago produced the world's first atomic-generated electricity, is continuing its experiments. A second breed er reactor, also designed to pro duce more useable fuel than it consumes and also turn out pow er, is planned. EBRII, as it's called, is expected to be finished early in 1958, if work on it starts next -year as now planned. At the nearby "Borax" units, experiments are also continuing. Borax I was deliberately de stroyed last summer to determine safety factors for such opera tions. Huge Payroll Borax II and Borax III, which generate steam right in their atomic cores, are being used for further experiments. From one came the steam that last July 17 generated electricity that lighted Arco first city in the world to use nuclear fuel as a civilian power source. A separate program of reactor safety study, to study the be havior of reactors "under ad verse , operating conditions," is also under way at the Idaho sta tion. Its reactor "became criti cal" the chain reaction was born and kept growing last July. By the end of next year, a construction force of 1,000 men in addition to operating per sonnel is expected to be at the station. The AEC is already one of Idaho's largest single em ployers. Its fiscal 1955 payroll was more than $10,500,000. DELAYED REACTION Grand Rapids, Mich. (U.R) In 1942, County Clerk Lewis J. Donovan received a request from a man in Houston, Tex., for his birth certificate. Dono van found the record but sent the man an affadivit to correct the birth record which listed his first name as "Baby." That was the last he heard of it until just the other day when the man re turned the affidavit and $1 and Donovan sent him a certi fied copy of the record. Use Tribune Want Ads QUICK and EASY!

(U.R) Some western Kentuckians with tooth aches don't have to go to a dentist he comes to them. Dr. Lyman L. Dudley, al though he says he hasn't worked out a very practical time sched ule, makes his rounds in a mod ern trailer. Parts of the rural counties he touches have been without a dentist's care for years. The traveling dentist, who has practiced for 28 years, usually stops off in each town on his schedule about two weeks at a time.
