ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Before the New Year even dawns, I'm ready with firm resolution to wear one of those vest pocket - type wire recorders at all cocktail parties attend ed by politic i a n s, foreign and domestic. The other night I was caught short a. Robt smiui wnen i neeaea one most to record for future listening pleasure a verbal spar ring match between the ambas sador from the Dominican Re public and Rep. Charles O. Por ter, who bumped into one an other for the first time after long months of name calling brought on by the case of Gerry Murphy, missing Eugene flier. Ambassador de Moya started it in San Francisco last spring in a speech charging that critics of his dictator-run government were only dupes of the Communists, O'ince Generalissimo Trujillo is so staunchly anti-communist that his criticjf) must, ipso facto, be Redsi This charge blanketed in Con pressman Porter, who started the furore against Trujillo after Murphy disappeared in the Do minican Republic ayear ago; the State Department, which by then had rejected Trujillo's phoney explanation of how Murphy was killed in a fight with a fellow pilot; and Life magazine, which reported that Murphy flew the missing professor. Dr. Jesus de Galindez, to the Dominican Re public, where both disappeared. Ingratiating Cabellero De Moya is a tall, dark, dap per, fluent, ingratiating cabellero with an aggressive brand of dip limatic gladhandedness. "Why don't you come to the Dominican Republic and see for yourself that we are not what yourihink? he would say to Charlie Porter. "Why have the Washington police advised me to carry a gun?" Porter barked back at the diplomat. w "Oh, Mr. Porter," replied de Moya. And here words purpose ly failed him, giving way to a series of Latin expressions with face, shoulders, arms and body which coQ vyed a hurt deep down inside at such a terrible thought. "Why, Mr. Porter, when I read about that in the newspapers I said, "My God, nothing must hap pen to him now." There followed more contortions which seemed to mean. "If something did hap pen to Porter everyone would point the finger at little inno cent us." "Why did you duck out on Meet the Press when they wanted to question you about the Mur phy case?" demanded Porter, who was on that TV program hiaiself. But Mr. Porter, how could I, just a poor farmer, be a match for such a brilliant lawyer as yourself, a Harvard man, well, J mean . . . (more contortions f helplessness)." When I asked de Moya how (Vng since he followed a plow, he hid his neatly manicured hands and made haste to explain he, if you please, was speaking in tdrms of running g hacienda, not plowing with the peasants, "tjphy did you make that charge about Communism," asked Porter. Have To Strike Back "Well, Mr. Porter, you had all the propaganda in this coun try lined up against us the press was against us. When you find yourself in such a position, you have to strike back some how in self-defense," de Moya said candidly. This and much more preoccu pied a small group in the corner of the room unknown to most everyone at the party put on by the Oregon Centennial Commis sion for diplomats, most of whom came and talked trade with the U.S. Ambassador de Moya talked most about- the desirability of Porter going to Trujilloland where he assured him the con gressman would "have a wonder ful time, see our country and our beautiful women." Many a congressman and sen ator has been taken on this wine and dine tour to that Caribbean kingdom, and returned home to say what a good buy is Trujillo, especially when Porter has criti cized the dictator and his hench men. It seemed clear that the am bassador was suggesting the kind of trade Trujillo is most anxious 'Father' of Coulee Dam Taken by Death Whittier, Calif. HP) Funeral services were held Sunday for Frank Banks, 74, the "father of Grand Coulee dam" and leader in river development, who died in California last week of a stroke. Banks was attending a meet ing of the Klamath River Com pact commission when he was stricken. He completed a 44-year career with the Bureau of Reclamation in 1950. and since- then had served in an advisory capacity to the bureau and as advisor to the Indian government during construction of the Bhakra dam. Banks' greatest triumph came in 1942 with completion of Grand Coulee dam on the Co lumbia. It is the greatest con crete structure in the world. During his career, he also was a leader in the construction of Jackson lake dam, American Falls dam, Arrowrock dam, Owyhee dam and the Thief Val ley dam. Vision Said Bad . For Many Children Portland IIP) Dr. Myron Scholer, president of the Vision Conservation Institute of the Northwest, told delegates at the opening session of the 30th an nual Northwest Congress of Op tometry Sunday that there are many school children who can pass a standard 20-20 eye test, but still have defective vision. Dr. Scholef, of Idaho Falls, Ida., said that of children tested in several Northwest cities 20 per cent were able to pass a vision test from a chart on a wall at a distance of 20 feet, but failed when tested at reading distance and in eye coordina tion. More than 400 optometrists are attending the meetings, which run through Tuesday. Advertisement Oirlt Not For Sail Geo. N. Taylor Theee African girls do not work in the fields as laborers, as is the custom there (fbouts. Nor are they now as the slave girls who bear babes that are to sold to make their masters wealthy. Brute men own these girl-mothers and by them they raise babes that are to be sold as they sell a cow. In stead of that life, these Christian girls are in training to become graduates nurses. Tbjery had a vital part in winning the seventy converts who turned to the Lord in a recent year. And you? Accept Christ as your Lord and Saviour and He will give you new days. adv. to make a happy, happy vaca tion for Porter in the Caribbean in exchange for a nice, long period of silence about such un mentionables as young Murphy and Dr. Galindez. United States Warns On Harming Patriots United Nations, N. Y. (IP) The United Nations General As sembly's 12th annual session ended Saturday night with a warning from the United States that it will demand a special sitting on Hungary if Russia and its puppet regime persist in persecuting patriots of the 1956 revolt. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge brought up in the clos ing hour of the session breaks that Gen. Pal Maleter, popular hero of the Hungarian revolt, and two other Freedom Fight ers "have now been brought to trial by the Soviet puppet re gime in Budapest." He referred to persecution of Hungarian patriot intellectuals, writers, civil and military lead ers and suppression of workers' rights in the country. Uruguay and Netherlands supported the United States ac tion. Hungarian delegate Endre Sik and Czechoslovakia's Jo sep Ullrich backed the Soviet opposition. After six sessions almost around the clock since Thurs day night on the perennial "So viet items on co-existence, the assembly's last vote was a 77-0 ballot, with Nationalist China abstaining, on a resolution in which Yugoslavia called for "peaceful and neighborly rela tions among states irrespective of their divergencies or the rela tive stages and nature of their political, economic or social de velopment." The assembly's - political com mittee approved the measure at 4:18 p.m. after hearing 45 speak ers in 17 hours and 26 minutes of debate.-Three hours later, the assembly gave it its final ap proval without debate. The United States considered the action a victory because it prevented Russia from gaining approval of its propagandistic "peaceful co-existence" language. Space Agency Plan Set Before Solons Washington OP) Dr. Wern her Von Braun, the Army's German-born rocket expert, propos ed Saturday that the United States set up a "national space" agency with a budget of about $1,500,000,000 a year to seek dominance in outer space. He told a Senate investigating subcommittee that he is convinc ed the United States has the sci entific talent already available "to get a space program going." He also is convinced, he said, that this country would be in "mortal danger" if Russia first won control of space. Von Braun appeared before the senate preparedness subcom mittee investigating U.S. missile and satellite programs.
