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-

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

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.

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.
