CPF.AKING of Interior cltlea, - Interior Secretary Krug re- porta In rortland this morning that Henry J. Kulaer wants to Increase tho ciipnclty of his Spokane aluminum reduction plant. Clio wanta to add two y. ''polllnca" to tha four already ' there.) Krun adda: "II la up to the Bonneville administration to de cide whether It want to devote that much of Ita power to the production of aluminum. CPOKANE la an Interior city w Ilka Klamath raiia. A dozen yeara niio, no Induatrlnllat would have thouiiht of locating a huge heavy Induatry there aomo port city would have been chosen. For that matter, no one a dozen years ago would novo thought of aluminum aa a ma terlal for general uae. Now we're hearing every day of aomc . new uae for aluminum. 1 hey ro even building hoiiacs of it. THIS la a changing world, and A the big rewurda will go to those whoao minds arc cnpnblc of adaptation to change. Those who can t gel out ol old ruts will puss out of the picture. CPEAKING of change, the J president of tho American In stllute of Accountants, In an ml drcsa in Portland, propoaes thut industry make a ftnunclul ac- counting, showing results of business operations, to em ployees. Labor, he adds, should have Information which It feels It needs in order to carry on properly Its negotiations with 7 mamiuumcm. audi a practice he suys, would be similar to companies advising the Invest ing public of their financial condition. THE type of business man whose mind is incnpnblo of adaptation to change will court apoplexy when he hears of this proposal. Still, it ISN'T unreasonable, Whatever progress we make to ward better things In this coun try will come about as a result of CO-OPERATION between liv dustrv nnd labor. If industry and labor can do nothing but fight, the future will bo dark indeed. OWITCHING from the domestic to tho international picture, an "authorltatlvo source" in Now York (who might be liuruch himself; you never can tell about these "sources" who don't want to be quoted by name) suggests this morning that tho United Stales is willing to trade Its atom bomb for a WOULD GOVERNMENT (or a security system, to use a less terrifying term) Hint con and will keep tho peace. TT wouldn't bo a bad trade at that. We can't keep the atom bomb a secret which we nlono possess. Soon or late, others will got It. Scientific . knnwlcdgo can't be walled in by International borders. EVEN world government (which we nil fear as the dovll fears holy water) would bo chenp at tho prlcn If it luonunma on m( i-oiumn r .. Day's lews council If the council holds tight to the veto. Just what form It should tuke, he added, Is under atudy. Tlio security council might conceivably become this power ful International guardian If the veto power la scrapped, this in formant aaid. Ho outlined the altuation substantially as fol lows: The United States has the atomic bomb. The United States wants peace and means to have It. The United stutca will sacri fice tho atomic bomb ita ade quate world security and atomic energy controls are set up but the united Stiilw will not de atroy one bomb until tho nn llona of tho world, including this country, of course, have set up this world organization ' by treaty. Old-Fsshlonad Swap Thua the United Stales was represented aa being In position to aitiiin peace uy an oict-fush- loned swap the bomb for the peace. Bernard M. Buruch, United States elder atuleamun, yester day proposed to tho United Na tions atomic energy commission the creation of an International atomic development authority to control all phases of develop ment and use of atomic energy. Further, ho proposed thut when an adequate ayatem has been established, including the renunciation of tho bomb as an instrument of war, the United States would agree to ceaae manufacture of the bomb and I h e destruction of existing bombs. llaruch emphasized that the veto power must be scrapped as It affects atomic energy control. One source suggested that the United States was in position to go even further to lay the bomb on the table with the veto anil agree to scrap the bomb If the big power nations holding the veto would agree to scrap the veto In the world security set-up. Hindu-Moslem Parity Stalled NEW DELHr. June 15 UP) Britain will announce her "last word" tomorrow In the dead lock over an interim govern ment for India, a highly placed source said today, adding that an "imposed peace" probably would usher in Indian Indepen dence. An authoritative Informant said the congress party working committee rejected British pro posals for Hindu-Moslem purity In an Interim government and also turned down proposals for compulsory grouping of prov inces during the period of tran sition to independence.

June 15 UP) Routers said in a Cairo dis patch that the British transport Devonshire entered port here today with all troops wearing llfcjackcta and a considerable number of military police on board, after being delayed out side the harbor by unexplained incidents Involving a British destroyer.

When the Devonshire arrived off Port Said yesterday a Brit ish destroyer went out to meet her and what seemed to be a boarding party went on board the transport. The event has been linked persistently by rumor with the movements of the Mufti of Jeru salem who left Paris secretly in late May, Reuters added. Shortly ofter meeting the transport, the destroyer sig nalled for a senior British pilot and since none was available at Port Said, a pilot was "rushed up from lsmallla, the dispatch declared, adding: "Immediately the pilot ar rived the destroyer was given first priority for passage south wards down the Suez canal. This meant that all ships in the canal had to 'tie up' while the destroyer dashed past at high speed.

"This is a matter which does not need reflection," the court president said. "Do you agree that these witnesses should ap pear or not?" "In principle I do not agree with the proposal," the defend ant replied. Later he added: "The prosecutor has used this opportunity to attack me.
