Worker Shows Decline
Br NORMAN RUNNION
Unittd Press Correspondent
London (U.R) "This is ser
ious," The Daily Worker warn
ed. "This is no false alarm, it
is grim reality."
The British Communist news
paper was talking about the drop
in circulation. It could just as
well have meant the status of
Western European Communism
in general.
For a year, the Soviet Union
has systematically if uninten
tionally been shattering the
ranks of Europe's Communist
parties. First, it was de-Stalin-ization,
now it is re-Staliniza-tion.
The results have shown in
mass resignations, in election
results, in the sad financial
traits of party newspapers and
the freedom uprisings in Poland
and Hungary.
The Worker released no circu
lation figures. But there is little
doubt that its daily sale in recent
months has dropped by the hun
drers possible thousands.
No official figures have been
released on the circulation of
the Worker or party member
ship since Russian troops crush

Sanitary Authority
Adopts Point System
On Disposal Projects
Portland (U.R) The State
Sanitary authority Friday adopt
ed a point system to determine
eligibility of sewage disposal
projects in the state for federal
grants to aid them In solving dis
posal problems.
Oregon's share of the federal
aid program will amount to
$600,000. The bill, enacted by
the 84th congress, provides for
federal aid in the amount of
$500-million over a 10-year per
iod. Chairman Harold Wendel ex
plained the need for setting up
the point system to determine
priority by saying, "we've al
ready received applications for
about twice the amount to be
granted in Oregon."
Based on Needs
The point system is based on
financial and water pollution
control needs of communities,
and upon their readiness to get

Recently
More than 500,000 of the partv
faithful, mainly workers, have
defected. The party itself ad
mitted 30 per cent of its mem
bers failed to renew their party
cards.
The same reports come from
other countries:
West Germany The Commu
nist party was outlawed on Aug.
17, 1956. It's last overall voting
strength was 607,000, or 2.2 per
cent of the vote, in September,
1953. It is believed to have been
still further on the decline be
fore it was outlawed.
5.000 Reds Quit
Austria More than 5,000
members of the 130,000 mem
ber Austrian Communist party
quit in protest over Hungary.
Holland The Dutch Commun
ist party has a hard core of an
estimated 15,000 to 20,000 mem
bers, only a small number of
which have reportedly left the
party since Hungary. But the
damage is believed to be gi
gantic to the party's estimated
250.000 fellow travelers.
Belgium Party strength is be
lieved to number around 10,000,
all of them dedicated. Since the
party was down to its hard core
before Hungary, there have been
no major resignations.
Switzerland No concrete fig
ures are available for the num
ber of defections since Hungary.
But many members have re
signed.
Norway Party strength be
fore Hungary was estimated
around 8.000 to 10,000. The nun
ber of defections since is not
known, although the party is
now deeply split.
Denmark Experts estimate
that the Communist voting
sirength has been reduced by
10 per cent since Hungary and
party strength by one-third to
13,000.
Sweden No prominent fig
ures have left the party since
Hungary but the indication of
the damage may come in trade
union elections next month.
Finland The Communists are
the third largest party in Fin
land and have an estimated 60,
000 to 10,000 members. No re
action to the Hungarian events
has yet to come into the open.
Chester England (U.R) The
Chester Motor Club, which can
celled its annual automobile
race because of gasoline ration
ing, decided Saturday to hold
the event regardless of fuel
shortages. Club officials said the

B52 Crews Return
To Castle AF Base
Castle AFB, Calif. flJ.PJ The
crews of two of three 652 strato
fortress jet bombers which com
pleted a non-stop flight around
the world, returned to Castle
Air Force Base near Merced late
Friday.
Brig. Gen. William E. Eubank
Jr., commander of the 93rd Bom
bardment ' Wing at Castle, , met
the 18 airmen who made up the
crews of planes Nos. 22 and 44
and praised them for their
achievement. They began the
record flight from Castle
Wednesday.
A crowd of about 500 persons
greeted the fliers when they
landed in a C47 from March
Air Force Base near Riverside,
where the globe girdling flight
was completed. Dense fog forced
a change in flight plans which
originally called for the craft to
return to Castle.
A brief ceremony included a
school band and honor and color
guards for the airmen, who were
wearing distinguished flying
crosses awarded at March by
Gen. Curtis LeMay, head of the
Strategic Air Command. The
fliers then were reunited with
their families.
The crew of the third bomber,
No. 11, which landed at March
Friday morning, was flown to
Washington, D.C., Friday night.
Navy Considering Site
In. Oregon, Idaho.
Salt Lake City (U.R) A
Navy spokesman said Saturday
the Navy was considering sites
in Idaho and Oregon as possible
replacements for its proposed
toss-bombing range over Great
Salt Lake.
But he insisted the Navy would
continue to press for the contro
versial Great Salt Lake site
"with certain modifications"
should the Idaho and Oregon
sites fail to meet Navy training
requirements.
Plans to Remodel Hotel
Announced in Seattle
Seattle , U.R) Officials of
Western Hotels, Inc., announced
here Saturday plans to double
the size of the Benson hotel in
Portland by addition of a 14
story wing on a site now occu
pied by the Oregon hotel.
Western said a 99-year-lease
had been signed with Paul and
Mary Gold, owners of the build
ing site, and the Oregon hotel
would be razed to make room
for the addition. The expansion
would put the Benson in the 400
room category with the Multno
mah hotel which is now Port
land's largest.

Quits Ice
Newton, Mass. (U.R) Golden-

licked polio to become the
world's figure skating champion,
"reluctantly" quit the ice Satur
day to devote all her time to a
medical career.
Her mother said she had end
ed her amateur skating career.
Acceptance of the 20-year-old
champion at Harvard Medical
school a year ahead of time
prompted Tenley'g decision to
hang up her skates competitive
ly. Up until this week Tenley had
been practicing three hours a
day in preparation for this year's
national and international skat
ing events.
But Friday night, after receiv
ing word from Harvard, she
wired the president of the Unit
ed States Figure Skating asso
ciation, Kenneth Brown of
Berkeley, Calif., her decision to
retire.
The graceful athlete, who be
came the first American girl
ever to win the Olympic figure
skating gold medal last year at
Cortina. Italy, is a pre-medical
student in her junior year at
Radcliffe college.
In the fall, she will enter
Harvard Medical school, which
accepted her as an exceptional
student after three instead of the
customary four yeari of under
graduate work.
