New Battle for Power Declared Possible by Washington iU.R) A new battle lor power which could lead to the same re:gn-of-terror tactics for which they now de nounce Stalin may develop among Russia's leaders, diplo mats said today. Experts said such a struggle within the Kremlin should not be discounted despite the cur rent Soviet emphasis on collec- live leadership and the bitter denunciation of Stalin's one-man rule, Moscow's atmosphere of sus picion and political intrigue, they said, may have become more intense after Soviet Com munist boss Nikita S. Khru shchev delivered his now-famous condemnation of Stalin last Feb ruary. Full details of the Khru shchev speech were made public by the State Department Mon day. The department obtained a copy of the 58-page, 26,000-word speech from a "confidential source." Murder Question Arises Among other things, the speech again raised the question of whether Stalin died a natural death March 5, 1953, or was murdered. Speculation that he might have been muidered was raised by Khrushhev's disclosure that Stalin had been planning before his own death "to finish off" some of his top aides. Khrushchev said Stalin had marked for liquidation Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov and Trade Minister Anastas Mi koyan and other "old members of the political bureau." This raised the question of Commission OKs Parks Expenditure Portland U.F The State Highway commission yesterday approved a $2,047,000 expendi ture over the next five-year per iod for expansion of the state park system. Of the total fund alloted for the five year park program, C. H. Armstrong, state Park super intendent, estimated that S 1,307, 000 would be used for construc tion and development and $740. 000 for the construction of roads and car parking areas. The commission yesterday, also awarded or accepted low bids on 27 separate highway projects, totaling S2.185.507. The commission approved a $269,000 expenditure to correct slide conditions at five trouble spots. Three of the spots were in the Siskiyou mountains on High way 99. Last year the number of per sons utilizing state parks was 6,818,827, .Armstrong said, com pared to 2.157,480 in 1948. He estimated that the total would increase to somewhere between 12.000,000 and 15,000,000 by 1975. One Person Injured In Three-Car Crash One person was injured with the pickup truck in which she was riding was involved in a three-vehicle accident on High way 99 at the Alley Mill road late yesterday, according to state police. Joanne Heard, 40, suffered a broken knee cap and was taken to Ashland General hospital, po lice said. She was riding in a pickup track operated by Wayne W. Heard. 41. of route 1. box 65. Talent.

Hickenlooper Wins Renomination In Iowa Primary Des Moines. Ia. (U.R) Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper won renomination to a third term Monday in an Iowa primary elec tion that saw the "farm protest" vote suddenly dissolve. Hickenlooper, who helped fashion the administration's flex ible price support program, handed Iowa Attorney General Dayton (Cracker Dry) Country man a Z-to-1 beating for the GOP senatorial nomination. Country man had staked his campaign on an appeal to the "farm protest" vote by advocating high, rigid price supports. Concedes Defeat Countryman, commenting that "the farmers have shown that they are "happy'," conceded de feat to Hickenlooper with just over one-third of the precincts reporting. Hickenlooper's renomination set up another test of the flexi ble versus high price supports in this fall's Iowa general election. R. M. (Spike) Evans, one-time head of the Agriculture Adjust ment Administration, won nom ination over comparative new comer Lumund F. Wilcox. Both of the Democrats had advocated high, rigid price supports. 68 Per Cent of Vote Hickenlooper, who garnered 73 per cent of the vote in the 1950 primary against nominal opposition, approached that fig ure again this year against Coun tryman's bid. He grabbed 68 per cent of the vote. With 2,28fi of 2.515 precincts reporting. Hickenlooper had 141,962 votes to 67.678 for Coun tryman, or 67.7 per cent of the vote. Evans had 59.133 to 35.828 for Wilcox, or 62.3 per cent of the vote. Americans' Personal Income Sets Record Washington (U.R) The per sonal income of Americans hit an all time high in April, the Commerce Department reported today. Personal Income, In the par lance of government economists, is the total received by individ uals in the form of wages, sal aries, dividends, interest, income from farms and the profits of private proprietorship busi nesses. It does not include cor porate income. In April, personal income was running at an annual rate of $317,100,000,000. That is, if the April rate was continued for a full pear, it would amount to $317,100,000,000. This represented an increase of $2,000,000,000 over the an nual rate reported for March. A jump of approximately the same size occurred between Feb-; ruary and March. Communists Abstain In Paris (U.R) The Commun ist party decided to abstain in tonight's National Assembly vote of confidence on Premier Guy Mollet s Algerian and gen eral policies, virtually assuring the government of victory. The Reds, who have supported Mollet in the past, decided at a strategy meeting to cast their 150-vote bloc neither for nor against the government in the latest test of strength. Mollet, a Socialist, has consist ently resisted their efforts to force him into a ' popular front" in line with the latest Moscow line, and has insisted he could win without their help. Tuesday. June 5, 1938 V in Russia Diplomats "sudden brain hemorrhage." Many experts still believe he died as a result of this third stroke, a hard-working life, a heart condition and old age. He was 72. Eut Khrushchev's words, other experts said, show that the inner circle of the Kremlin leaders may have had good reason to kill him. Now Riding High Diplomats said there is no reason to believe that the strug gle for power within the Krem lin that . began with Stalin's death has ended. They said that Khrushchev now is riding high and apparently taking steps to consolidate his power inside the Russian government and the Communist party. They noted that of the three men who delivered orations at Stalin's funeral, one is dead and "two down-graded. Lavrenti P. Beria, secret police chief, has been shot. Molotov has lost his foreign minister's job. Georgi Malenkov, who succeeded Stalin for a short while, lost that job. r'1 tk WEARING BLACK DRESS, chats with President Sukarno, in Beverly Hills, Cal. Cancer of Pancreas Deaths on Decline Detroit (U.R) Steady re duction in the number of deaths from cancer of the pancreas was reported today by two ex perts at the National Cancer Conference. Drs. Bernard Zimmerman and John W. Waugh said fatalities have been reduced because ex tensive surgery can now be done with safety. Zimmerman, of the University of Minnesota Medical School, and Waugh, of the Mayo Clinic, are among 1200 doctors, scien tists and specialists from the United States and Europe at tending the conference. They said that "numerous survivals and presumed cures" .from this form of cancer are on the upgrade and said surgery on the pancreas "is being done with safety and mortality not exceeding that of other large abdominal operations." Vote on Mollet The Communist decision to ab stain means that Mollet can count on support from right wing and more moderate groups for victory.

The recruiting campaign In Britain emphasizes the oppor tunities here for children. Post ers advertising Australia are displayed in more than 25,000 United Kingdom post offices. and ads are being place in daily and weekly newspapers through out Britain. The drive is part of Australia's campaign to increase its popu lation by migration. Each mi grant is offered financial help in arranging his passage to Aus tralia and guaranteed a job and a start for himself and his fam ily when he arrives. Already the Australian gov ernment has brought more than a million and a quarter immi grants here in the past eight years. It hopes to get another quarter of a million from Brit ain alone this year. Workers Needed As an inducement to come here, the department of immi gration offers free passage to children under 14 years of age. Adults can make the trip by pay ing only 10 each; Australia pays the rest of the passage. The new drive is aimed at ob taining workers in more than 100 specialized occupations rang ing from medical practitioners to welders. A department spokesman said the only limitation on British migrants are those imposed by shipping accommodations and normal health and character re quirements. In March, 3.274 British mi grants sailed for Australia, the greatest number in any one month since July of last year. and officials said all ships sail ing from Britain to Australia are booked solid with migrants for the coming months, includ ing the New Australia owned jointly by the British and Aus tralian Governments which sails late in May with 1,580 Aus tralian-bound migrants.

The royal yacht left Majorca, Spain, Monday for the run to the sun-specked Riviera play ground but the sea was rough and the journey could be de layed. .There was no confirmation of the reports the princess is ex pecting. Father Francis Tucker, the American priest who played Cupid, said they had told him nothing about it. Monegasques were hoping the rumors were true. An heir would prevent the pricipality from reverting to France. If-that happens, the Monegasques would have to pay taxes and would be subject to French mil itary duty. No special welcome was plan ned for the royal couple but townspeople had red and white flags ready to drape from their windows the moment their sovereign's return was an nounced. The prince and princess were married April 29. WARDS WALL TILE Wednesday -Wednesday June 6 and 7 TILE KIT 2488 Kit contains everything needed to tile in standard 5-ft. recessed bathtub area. Navy Will Keep Aerobee Rocket White Sands Proving Grounds, X.M. (U.R) The Navy said to day it had no intention of aban doning its high altitude Aero bee rocket despite a second test failure of the missile in less than a month. An Aerobee "Hi," sent aloft to investigate sun spots Monday fizzled out before it shot past the Earth's atmosphere and crashed to the desert. The rock et's instrument filled nose was smashed to bits. The Navy said it did not plan to abandon the project but Cmdr. E. W. Diehl, naval re search laboratory and Interna tional Geophysical Year project chairman, said "something will have to be done" to spruce up the Aerobee "Hi." Diehl said an apparent motor defect in the rocket was causing it to "lag behind" in research for the International Geophysi cal Year program. The Aerobee "Hi" is the spec ially developed missile designed for altitudes up to about 165 miles, seven miles higher than the present altitude record, and using an extremely concentrated liquid propellant. Monday's rocket, which sput tered up to 36 miles and then began its dive into the desert floor, had been set off loaded with cameras to examine .electro-magnetic storms on the sun's surface. A similar rocket crashed before newsmen in an exhibition less than a month ago. DEAN RESIGNS Evanston, 111. (U.R) Har old C.
