By EARNEST HOBERECHT United Press Correspondent Tokyo (U.R) The United State can reverse iU present "losing" trend and come out a "winner in Asia." P6E Cleared of Pelfon Violation Madras, Ore. (U.R) The May term of Jefferson county grand jury has declared in its port that Portland General Elec tric Company is not guilty of violation of Oregon law in build ing Pelton dam on the Deschutes river. The firm has started work on the project under a federal per mit. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton earlier had advised Jef ferson County District Attorney Warren H. Albright that he be lieved the firm was in violation of Oregon law by going ahead without a state permit. In its report the grand jury said: 'The district attorney of Jefferson county has presented for our consideration the matter of the alleged violation of Ore gon law by Portland General Electric Company by reason of the construction of the Pelton dam project and our opinion is such that construction ... is not a violation of Oregon law and we have not returned an indict ment." Albright said, "The grand jury has rendered its opinion . . . This does not mean that future action will not be taken if the situation warrants such action. I will continue to investigate the matter and when appropriate ac tion is indicated by my own in vestigation or when called to my attention by others I will pro ceed in accordance with the law.' No Decrease Seen in Porcupine Population Salem (U.R) The State Forestry Department said today that although 12.465 porcupines had been killed in ponderosa pine forests of eastern and south ern Oregon in 1955, there still appeared to be no decrease in population of the animals Porcupines cause extensive damage to young ponderosa pine trees through their eating hab its, according to Al Larsen. a forestry department official who has just surveyed the major pine forests of Oregon. That is not a pipe dream. It is the concensus of many qualified Asians who have given serious thought to the matter. The concensus was drawn by this correspondent from talks with hundreds of persons on two recent tours throughout Asia; heads of state, U. S. and foreign displomats, newspaper' editors, businessmen, politicians and av erage citizens. By 'winning" in Asia these persons do not mean the United States would take over, domi nate or even gain tremendous popularity that would be follow ed blindly by Asians. Respected As Power They mean the United States would be respected as a depend able power working for justice for all. generous rather than aggressive. But most Asians agree the United States must make some changes if it is to win its ob jective. Here are some of their prin ciple suggestions: 1. The United States must de cide on definite goals and act on them consistently without re gard for personal popularity. 2. The United States should concentrate on important prob lems and forget about smaller things that frequently cause more trouble than they are worth. 3. Asians should be treated as equals and consulted in import ant policy matters. 4. The United States should aid Asian countries for their own sakes. not merely for the sake of the United States or for an out side cause such as anti-Communism. Fully Informed 5. U. S. diplomats should keep individual Asian countries both officials and the public fully informed of its policies. 6. The U. S. should restate its position frequently. 7. U. S. officials should propa gandize American history, ex plaining to Asians how it threw off the colonial yoke and rose from an agricultural country to an industrial power under the free enterprise system. 8. Asian nations should be re- S' Sm .. '-it I K Mis, . Ail l - a- ...... . RIOT IN THE DIET Upper House President Tsuruhei Matsuno (seated) has an unidentified Diet guard in his. lap as guards seek to protect him from rampaging Social ists. The Upper House of the Diet in Tokyo "became an arena for a common dogfight and plunged the entire nation into a mire of disgrace," according to reports from Japan. The riot took place when Socialist Saburo Eda (not shown) refused to stop filibustering and Diet guards, on the order of President Matsuno, sought to evict him. quired to ask for financial aid. rather than being offered it, and then it should be granted on a businesslike loan basis rather than as a charity handout. 9. The United States must have a flexible program for Asia that recognizes no single policy will do for all the countries. Blinded By Yen One leader of an Asian nation considered pro - Western said Americans let their yen for popu Iarity blind them to what should be their basic aims. "So long as the United States is the most powerful nation in the world, she cannot hope to win a popularity contest," he said. "She must come to realize she doosn't want gushing lovers: she wants non-enemies, friends or dependable allies." House Rejects Foreign Aid Plea Washington (U.R) The House yesterday rejected a dramatic last minute plea from President Eisenhower to restore most of a SI, 100,000,000 slash in his $4, 900,000,000 foreign aid program. On an unrecorded 112. to 192 vote the house rejected an at tempt to restore S600,000,000 of the heavy cut recommended by its Foreign Affairs Committee. It did this after rejecting over whelmingly attempts to give Mr. Eisenhower the full $4,900,000. 000 program he asked for. and to slash it by 5500,000,000 more than the committee urged. The sizeable majority which lined up against the restoration proposal on a teller vote came from both Republican and Demo cratic sides of the aisle. On this kind of vote there is no record of how any one member voted. The rapid fire vote sustaining the $1,100,000,000 aid cut was a personal triumph for Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman James P. Richards (D-S.C). In urging the heavy reduction, he had pitted his own influence and popularity against that of the President, - Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Demo cratic an dRcpublican leadership of the House. Mr. Eisenhower made a dra matic effort to save his program. Biggest industry in India is textiles accounting for one-fourth of the country's entire industrial production. Annual output is four billion yards of cloth, 350, 000,000 pounds of yarn. A United States government check for $7,500,000,000 issued in 1948 to balance the books of the treasury is believed to have been the largest single check ever issued in this country.

LIQUID PENCILS TO THE MEN BALLOONS BANKS & SUCKERS TO THE KIDS House of Future May Be Made of Plastic, Chemical Man Says New York (U.R) Within the next decade you may be liv ing in a house made almost com pletely of plastics. That s the prediction of Rob ert K. Mueller, a vice president of Monsanto Chemical Co. Muel ler says such a house will be easier to keep clean and cheaper to maintain. The house will feature such things as: . Large molded plastic units bent to form ceilings, walls and floors of entire rooms. Shatterproof and lightweight panels of glass-reinforced plastics in a variety of colors and de grees of translucency. Conduits, ducts and piping made of flexible and corrosion- resistant plastic and integrally formed into wall and floor sec tions. Lightweight movable parti tions and curtain walls which permit a high degree of flexibility. Mueller, general manager of Monsanto's chemical division. says his company will exhibit model of an all plastic house later this month at the plastics exposition m New York. The Dalles U.P Exhibitors from Umatilla county took top honors in the steejr division at the 10th annual Fat Stock Show sponsored here by the Oregon Wheat Grower's League. Los Angeles has twice as many automobiles as all of South America. St. Louis has twice that of Japan. Bold in concept, he says, the 'house of tomorrow will achieve basic architectural and engineering purposes in a way possible only with plastics. "Basis of the design is a mold ed module which is bent to form ceiling, wall and floor and which may be easily removed or added to the house to meet a family's changing space needs." Mueller notes the plastic in dustry has come a long way since 1868 when celluloid, the first commercial plastic, was de veloped as a substitute for ivory in making billiard balls. Today, plastics are found in thousands of industrial and con sumer applications and the in dustry's total sales exceed $2 billion. . In the average home you are likely to find plastic dishes and cups, plastic tooth brushes and soap dishes, plastic curtains and, if there are children, plastic toys in a great variety of shapes and colors.
