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."

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

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

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

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.

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.

Dentist Comes To
Kentuckians With Ache
Paduch, Ky. (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

counties he touches have been
without a dentist's care for
