Khrushchev Buying Stock Financial Circles Report By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York iff Khrushchev is buying stocks on the New York and American stock ex cnanges perhaps also on other U. S. markets. That is considered a fact in circles high up. The problem is, is he try ing to control our industry? Or perhaps he's trying to smash our market at some fu ture date. With markets for individ ual stocks thin as they are it wouldn't take too much stock to bring a sharp decline, say the experts. A few hundred thousand shares dumped all at once could produce chaos. And that, the experts con clude, would not be far from the mark as the Russians see our economy. They'd like nothing better than to have it collapse. The other day the Senate Internal Security Subcommit tee reported that money is flowing to and from Iron Cur tain counties. In the eighth of 12 reports on its 1957 operations, the subcommittee said Commu nist money "is finding its way into the United States in in creasing amounts, through Swiss banks and. other inter mediaries, to become invest ment capital in American in dustries." Swiss Banks Used The subcommittee cited testimony by J. Sinclair Arm strong, former chairman of the Securities and Exchange commission to back its con clusion that Swiss banks have been used to cover transac tions in American securities. The committee said one or ganization using Swiss stock transactions was alleged to Alaska Backers Seek Debate End Washington Iff Backers of Alaskan statehood failed Thursday in efforts to limit House debate on the issue. Rep. Wayne N. Aspinall (D- Colo.) seeking to shut off de bate so the House can vote Monday, asked for unanimous consent to set a, time limit on arguments for and against the bill. Howard W. Smith (D-Va.) objected, blocking the request. Democratic leaders indicated they would try again Friday, using a different procedure that would require only a ma jority vote to shut off debate. Democratic leader John W. McCormack (Mass.) predicted the house eventually will pass the bilL'But he said "it's going to be close."

SED EXPRESSES THANKS London (ff Soviet scien tist V. I. Rastorguyev said in a Moscow Radio broadcast Thursday night that his one year tour of duty at the U.S. scientific base at the South Pole had been "most useful." Rastorguyev said he had flown to the base at the in vitation of scientists of the U.S. Antarctic Committee. He said his tour made it possible "to learn about the equipment et the station and get to know the scientific work being car ried out there by American scientists." STILL CIRCULATING Frankfurt, Germany (ff '' Traveler's checks stolen tight years ago in San Fran cisco from Robert Baudin of that city are turning up in Germany, police reported Friday.

C. D. LEMLEY Osteopathic Physician and Surgeon 426 Medical Center Bldg. have 50 per cent ownership in Communist countries. Joseph E. Granville, analyst for E. F. Hutton and company, says a logical series of facts would underscore the conten tion that Communist funds are being invested here as a pos sible tool of economic sub version. He lists that series as follows: "1. The Russians have gold, lots of it. "2. The Swiss banking sys tem does not require identifi cation of depositors. "3. Khrushchev has de ciarea ail-out economic war against the entire free world, principally the U.S. "In a world so recently amazed by a sputnik, it is not beyond the realm of reality Northwest Said Not Power Short Washington OP) No more than six million kilowatts of economically feasible hydro electric potential remains in the Pacific Northwest for de velopment, a Portland General Electric company spokesman told a Senate public works subcommittee Thursday. Thomas W. Delzell, chair man of the board of PGE, said it is not true that only 20 per cent of the potential has been tapped. Delzell appeared be fore the committee at hearings on a bill to create a Columbia River Development Corpora tion. "The Pacific Northwest is now in better shape power wise than it has ever been," he said. "It is no longer a 'short age' area." Delzell said that some 16 million kilowatts of the 22 million kilowatts of economi cally feasible hydroelectric po tential has been developed or is in the process of develop ment. To go over the 22 mil lion mark, he said, would pro duce electricity more costly than that obtained through steam generation. Sewing Contest Being Conducted A two-week trip to Europe awaits the national winner of the "make it yourself with wool" sewing contest now be ing conducted by National Wool Growers auxiliary. Mrs. Perry A. Strom, 1464 Dixie lane, is the district di rector for the Medford-Grants Pass area. The contest is open to girls between the ages of 14 and 22 years. Entries may be coats, suits or dresses which the girl has made herself of 100 per cent wool fabric. The district contest and style show will be held in October to pick two winners who will enter the state con test in November. District prizes will be awarded. To encourage sewing skills a special sub-deb contest fdr 13 to 16-year-old girls will also be held. Entry blanks are available at the county extension office or from school home eco nomics teachers or, the dis trict director, Mrs. Strom. Stop Lice Hunt Teachers Ordered Portland Iff Public school teachers here were ordered Thursday to stop lice-hunting. The order came with approval of Dr. Thomas L. Meador, city health officer. A letter Irom Superinten dent of Schools J. W. Edwards said that inspection of chil dren's heads shall be left to public health nurses. Edwards emphasized " that inspections previously carried on by principals and teachers were on instruction of the City Health Department. RED CHINA DEMOBILIZES Tokyo HP) Communist China reported Friday that 6,800,000 officers and men had been demobilized from its army since 1950. . The New China news agency, in a broadcast monitored here, said the demobilized service men were now "taking part in national construction." The agency gave no hint as to how many were taken into the armed forces since 1950. West ern estimates place the cur rent Chinese Communist arm ed forces strength at about 3,000,000. that American stock ex changes and for that matter, all free world stock ex changes could be centers of invisible orbits of Russian eco nomic sputniks. Trade Disruptions "Inasmuch as we are al ready witnessing disruptions on the .trade fronts of the world, much of it obviously instigated by the Kremlin, why should one of the most obvious fronts be overlooked the stock exchange? If the Soviets can dump the metals, why not stocks? Granville is for action to stem this method of buying American- shares without reve lation of identity. If the buy ers were known and publish ed, he believes they would desist from a practice that could seriously affect the stock market. Granville says the Russians have the means to buy our stocks, they have the method through sources which keep their identity hidden, and they have the motive which is to wreck our economy. It just could be, he notes, that the recent market strength can be traced back to demand for our stocks by the'Kremlin instead of by U.S. investors and speculators. Until new rules are put in force, there is no way to tell what is going on. Wall Street isn't too worried. It holds that if Americans knew that Russia was in the market they'd con tinue to follow the tape. Library Dedicated To Ernie Pyle Columbus, Ohio (ff An Ernie Pyle Memorial library was dedicated at Ohio State university here Friday to the famous Scripps-Howard war correspondent killed in the closing days of World War n.

Students Quiet Following Riot Panama City (ff This strife-torn capital was uneas ily quiet early today, with some 500 teen-age rioters in the sanctuary of the university after a day of violence in which 15 persons were re ported killed.
