(U.R) For estry officials said today that the fire situation in central Ore gon forests is serious but that so far no large blazes have de veloped and scores of small lightning fires have been con trolled almost as soon as they were started. Last night, for the fourth night in a row, central and east ern portions of the state were subjected to violent electrical storms accompanied by rainfall that helped control fires but washed out roads. More than 80 lightning-ignited spot fires were reported in the region last night. Strong winds hampered efforts of firefighters but most of the fires were con fined within an acre.

Protest Told in Arms Reduction New York (U.R) The chiefs of the three armed services have joined in vigorous protest against a proposal by Adm. Ar thur W. Radford to reduce the armed forces by some 800,000 men, the New York Times said today. Times correspondent Anthony Leviero said one reported result of the revolt against Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff, is that work on the joint strategic objectives plan has been postponed until after the presidential election. The chiefs were said to have objected to Radford's proposal to reduce the armed forces by some 800,000 men by I960 on the grounds that it would shrivel up U.S. armed force con tribution to the defense of Eu rope, the Times said in a dis patch from Washington. Defense Department officials were reported to have been alarmed by the political implica tions of Radford's concept of policy for the future of the armed forces, Leviera said, and the result was an order to post pone strategic planning until after the November' election. Both Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson and Reuben B. Robertson Jr., had the au thority to issue the postpone ment order, but it , was not known who actually issued it, the Times said. 250,000th Kiwanian Honored at Confab Chicago The 250,000th Ki wanian was formally recognized at a special ceremony climaxing the 41st annual convention of the service organization in San Francisco late in June. , The quarter-millionth member is a Californian, Claude E.

Close Vote Seen For Hells Canyon Bill Wednesday . Washington (U.R) Demo cratic supporters today forecast a close Senate vote next Wednes day on a bill to authorize con struction of a federal dam at Hells Canyon on the Idaho-Oregon border. The Democratic sponsors con ceded they would have to pick up some Republican votes to get the measure passed. And they said Republican National Com mittee officials and "the White House" are exerting pressure against it. GOP Support Seen But the Democrats may have picked up some GOP support Thursday by helping pass the Republican-backed Frying Pan Arkansas Project in Colorado. The vote was unanimous. A Republican House sponsor of the Frying Pan bill. Rep. J. Edgar Chenoweth of Colorado, voted in committee for the Hells Canyon measure. He said he did it in return for a promise of Democratic help in getting hules Committee approval of his bill. Four Votes Promised One Hells Canyon backer said four Republican votes have been promised in the Senate for the bill. Some other Republicans solicited, he said, have replied they are under party pressure to vote against it. Democrats have attempted to make the Hells Canyon Project, involving a $308,000,000 dam on Snake river, a target in a "give away" attack on Republicans. Former Interior Secretary Doug las McKay dropped federal spon sorship of the dam in 1953, and the Federal Power Commission licensed -a private company to develop the site last year. False Representation Of Medicine Dropped Portland (U.R) The justice department yesterday dropped charges x against a 70-year-old Warrenton, Ore., man accused of falsely representing the power of a so-called medicine he manufactured. i Reason for the dismissal was that Alfred F.

The proposal, in effect, would pool the atomic resources of East and West for peaceful ends. At present, a six-nation West ern European atomic pool called Euratom is in process of forma tion with France, West Germany, Italy and the Benelux countries as members. The Soviet and 10 ether Communist East European and Asian' countries have just established a "unified Center of Atomic Research." .The new Soviet proposal sug gested that the United States and all European governments now call a conference to discuss the peaceful uses of atomic energy on a Europe-wide basis. The suggestion was contained in notes delivered to the em bassies of the nations represent ed here, but it did not specify any time or place for such a con ference. The first suggestion for the pooling of atomic energy re sources for peaceful ends was made by President Eisenhower in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly in New York Dec. 8, 1953. At that time, he urged the major powers to cooperate in this development and proposed donations of nuclear materials to an international pool. Since then, however, East and West have gone their separate ways in this project as they have in other aspects of the cold war. Washington (U.R) The Senate, despite administration objections, voted Thursday to launch a $400,000,000 govern ment program to speed develop ment of atomic power for peace ful uses. The legislation directs the Atomic Energy Commisison to build prototype atomic reactors to chart the way for private in dustry in developing atomic power. The bill was approved by a ITS HOT!
