Wil liams two miles north of this Yamhill county community burned late Friday killing 18 head of cattle and destroying 2,000 bales of straw and SO tons of baled alfalfa. Total loss was estimated at $15,000. The barn was part of the Oak Springs Dairy, operated by Williams and his father. The blaze .was noticed by a boy delivering newspapers and Williams was summoned. Flames had already burned telephone lines and he had to drive to Lafayette to notify firemen. i The structure was engulfed in flames when.McMinnville and Carlton firemen arrived. The nearby home of Hugh . Williams was saved. ' The cattle .were all regis tered and included 11 heifers and seven cows. They and the hay were not insured but the barn was, Williams said. Fire men, said the fire may have started, in some wiring.

(Continued from Page 1) - We would all be pleasantly surprised if the Soviet Union ever accepted such a proposal as that made by Mr. Lloyd. But I see no reason why our policy should be decided on assumptions or expectations of what the Soviet Union will eventually agree to do. Let us not be lulled into holding up our own progress at this criti cal phase of international trends. . I cannot easily forget that we lost a decade in which we might .have concentrated en tirely on the peaceful use of the atom instead of diverting the creative efforts of men to the making of . terrible weapons. . The Soviet Union is respon sible for this lost decade. Be cause at a time when we had the exclusive possession of the atomic weapon, I thought that in keeping with the needs of mankind, the United States should propose to internation alize control and possession of nuclear production. Arms Would Slop '.' And we did offer officially to place the means of produc tion of atomic devices within the jurisdiction of the United Nations for the benefit of all peoples. Under this proposal the making of atomic weapons would have stopped and the world could have devoted its energies to the peaceful de velopment of the atom. - I keep bringing up these facts from time to time to re mind some statesmen and those, people who are now so alarmed about the danger of fallout that none of this would be disturbing us if the Soviet Union had not brutally reject ed this extraordinary offer by the one government which had complete control at the time. In history there Is no precedent for that action. We of the United States who had the bomb, the know how and the facilities were willing to submit to the neces sary international inspection. But the Kremlin, intent on its program of world domina tion, would not agree to in spection and thus vetoed and destroyed a - great opportu nity for international coopera tion and peace. ; Ho Choice . .Thus today, since other na tions are in a position to make nuclear tests at will, we have no choice but to con tinue our experiments. Let us not be maneuvered into a false position by propaganda that attempts to picture us as a. weapon-conscious and mili tary-minded people. There is Point r i- i Television Thief Gets $1,500 At Portland Hotel Portland (CPD - Police here were searching for a neatly dressed gunman who held up the Congress hotel early Sat urday and escaped with $1,500. Officers said the man dis played a revolver and forced the .manager of the hotel to open the safe. He then herded the manager and several em ployees into the basement be fore he made his getaway. -. An auto rental firm at Port land International Airport said the gunman's description corresponded to that of a man who rented a car about 10 pjn. Friday after supposedly arriving by air from Califor nia. '' r no need -to' appease these false accusers by depriving ourselves of the necessary and continuing experiments in the nuclear field so that we can expand our knowledge. 1 ' You can never freeze any discovery. You must go on ex perimenting. There can be no improvement without con tinuous experiments and tests. We know that from what we see and have today in our everyday life. It was not too long ago that Edison produced the first electric light bulb and the phonograph and A great many of us still remem ber the first automobile. And look at what we have already achieved in .the field of nu clear science. And we must never discourage the pursuit of pure science in its quest for knowledge. The problems of expanding, harnessing and controlling nuclear energy pose' vast dif ficulties and entail certain dangers. But how are we going to get the answers to many questions unless we al low our scientists full sway to experiment and explore? Underground Experiments And now that we can con tinue such experiments under ground without damage to the atmosphere we should get on with it. I hope that in the fu ture we can do this coopera tively with other nations. I have been questioned about a recently published statement quoting . General Marshall to the effect that at the time of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki we used the only two atomic bomb in our possession and that we had no others in re serve. ' i.'. ,! I feel that General Marshall may have been misunderstood or he may have wished to withhold further information at the time he was questioned. For years I have - urged General Marshall to set down in his own words the story of his life and the many great contributions he made to the nation and the world. . Had he written his own full account, I think he would un doubtedly have recorded that the manufacture of additional A-bombs was continuing at the same rate at which the first two had been produced after the original atomic ex plosion took place at Alama gordo, N.M., on the 16th of July, 1945. The bomb over Hiroshima' exploded Aug. 6 and the one over , Nagasaki Aug. 9. Bombs in Production There were other A-bombs in the course of production in varying stages of completion awaiting only the results of how the first bombs worked. And we soon had a substan tial reserve of A-bombs in our stockpile. I have also been asked whether it would be possible for. any nuclear bomb to be set off as a result of false alarm that the enemy had at tacked us, or by some irre sponsible person. I can make the categorical statement that no nuclear bomb can be triggered by any one person regardness of rank without the expressed and personal order of the Presi dent of the United States. No one person is ever in a position to put together a nu clear bomb to be ready for ac tion without inyolying a group of men who are re quired for this purpose. The precautions taken are fully adequate against any rash act. I cannot, of course, be sure of the circumstances sur rounding the steps necessary to be taken under a totalitar ian government. If some dic tator should become involved in circumstances which might threaten his personal rule, there is ho way of knowing whether or not he might not in a mad moment resort to a nuclear bomb. ' We would all feel a lot bet ter if there were some assur ances that the world would never be subjected to such a madness. That is why " we ought to control international ly all such, weapons to, assure the nation that no rash act by a power mad dictator could plunge the world ' into dis aster. ;i- r-,-;'-vVf -C7Tf - - " ?s CD 0 i i . ,1 r - jr f"" MOBILE ARTILLERY The Saturday celebrated the 42nd anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution emphasizing peace, prosperity, progress and a warning Advance Filing for Benefits Is Urqed Advance filing of claims for social security benefits is being encouraged, according to Edward B.
