"After the first world war," he said, "Americana foil lulu the belief that to make the world aafe for democracy we must in atall democracy for other world people. Now, ha added, Russians (presumably of the governing class) seem to be flirting with the Idea that the way to make the Russian aystem safe la to Impose communism on tho rest of the world.

She has gathered In about all of EuroDC oaat of the Elbe river, and all of the Bnlkaits ' Save Greece. So It stands, to reason that she will continue, to bluff as long as it pays off. , School Budget Wins Approval Returns from nearly all of the county sub-disirtcii showed today that tho sharply Increased county school budget has been overwnelmlniily approved.

Hitler Murder Plot Revealed NUERNBERG, June 20 Mi Albert Spcer.former German mu nitions minister, declared to the international military tribunal today he was determined to kill Adolf Hitler in his chancellery bunker in Berlin In March last year but was unable to slip can isters of poison gas past tho guards. In an Impassive tone he re lated that he realized the fueh rer must die to snvo Germany from complete ruin. Speer said he learned of a new special gas that had been perfected in February, 1945, and that he obtained some for tho sole purpose of destroying Hit ler. He said he warned Hitler a year before Germany collapsed that the country was too ex hausted of materials "to con tinue modern war." The dark and balding witness, on trial for his life with 21 other ranking Germans, said he sent j-Hltle a memorandum In June of 1844 reporting a "serious" short age of coal and disclosing that another month of American and British bombing would destroy the chemical Industry. Speer said the Ruhr was bomb ed out so completely by the fall of 1944 that it was unable to transport coal from the pits. Const - OREGON, THURSDAY. Arab Mufti Gets Asylum From Egypt CAIRO, June 20 W Egypt's foreign minister made it plain toduy thut the Nile Kingdom will grant asylum to HaJ Amin Al rtussclnl, the mufti oi Jerusalem. Tho mystery concerning tho whereabouts of tho Arab fire brand and antl-zlonlst loader since his disappearance lrom France some truce week ago was solved last niiiht when King Farouk's puluco announced thut tho mufti had arrived in Egypt, had called at the Royal palace, and hus asked for a refuge. llu J Amin, whom the British accuse of broadcasting for Hitler during the war, has been In exile from Palestine since 1937 when he was accused of fomenting a long series of Arab outbreaks. Lufti El said Pasha, foreign minister, told reporters tne "Egyptian constitution prevents giving up political refugees to any other country." King Approves A highly reliable informant said King Farouk already had advised tne British government of his decision to grant sanctuary to the mufti. (Appearance of the mufti in Egypt posed a delicate problem for the British. A foreign office spokesman in London said Britain was uncertain whether to ask the Egyptian government to surrender him, observing that the British desired at all times to respect the right of asylum granted by other .nations to political refugees.) The Egyptian press generally gave the mufti a warm welcome.

Calama Number 10851 Big 4 Said To Agree On Colony Move PARIS, June 20 (P) The four foreign ministers virtually agreed today to postpone action on Italy's colonies for one year, an American informant said. The ministers expressed gen eral acceptance of a proposal by U. S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, wnich had been of fered at sessions of the minis ters conference last month. Under the plan, Italy would renounce sovereignty over the colonies which would be con sidered under four-power con trol pending a final decision on the matter. If the United States, Britain, Russia and France still were divided on the subject at the end of the one-year period the matter would be referred to the trustee ship council of the United Na tions. The virtual agreement on the colonial question swept aside one of the most important prob lems blocking progress on Eu ropean peace settlements. Earlier a British informant said the foreign ministers had agreed that British and Ameri can troops in Italy and Russian troops in Bulgaria should be evacuated within 90 days after peace treaties with those two countries go into effect.

The agreement, a victory for house conferees, was reported by Senator Bridges (R-NH), who stepped outside the closed door con ference before it was completed. Bridges said the agreement to allow drafting of 19-year-olds was "without any restrictions," but he did not elaborate. With this decided, the conference group was expected to make quick work of other senate- house differences. One senate conferee, who de parted early and asked that his name not be used, said the terms "liar," "reprehensible" and "lobbying" had been hurled back and forth by the house conferees. This senator said house mem bers opposed to drafting 18-year-olds had sharply criti cized the action of Senator Gur ney (R-SD) in using war de partment radio facilities to con tact Rep. Walter G. Andrews (R-NY) and obtain a change in his Droxy. Thomas told reporters that the senate compromise offer to draft 18-year-olds only as a last resort had been rejected 3 to 3 by the house conferees with Andrews proxy not voiea. He said he would ask the senate representatives later to day to vote on the house offer to take 19-year-olds and exempt those of 18. The vote from Andrews, wno is en route to the Bikini A-bomb test, had been expected to end the existing impasse in the con ference group. Canadian Red Given 6 Years MONTREAL, June 20 m Fred Rose, communist member of parliament, was sentenced to day to six years' imprisonment for sending information illegal ly fo Russia during the war.

He still faces charges under the official se cret sact and is scheduled to ap pear for trial on them next Sep tember although this case may be delayed by an appeal from today's sentence. Indian Plan Meets Delay In New Snag NEW DELHI, June 20 W) The powerful congress party de layed indefinitely today ' a de cision on the British independ ence plan for an Interim Indian government because Its president-designate, Jawaharlal Neh ru, had been arrested in Kash mir state. ' Maulana Azad, retiring presi dent of the party, said its work ing committee had adjourned sine die because of the arrest and "when we meet again de pends upon Pandit Nehru's re turn." - The domlnantly Hindu con gress party is the largest in In dia and without its adherence, the independence plan hardly could be made workable. An air of the deepest gloom was ap parent in congress circles, which only yesterday radiated confi dence that a favorable decision might be possible by the end of the week. ; A Kashmir government state ment said Nehru "is at liberty to return to British India when ever he wishes to do so" even though he had been arrested. Nehru was reported to have, been wounded slightly on the cheek yesterday when he at tempted to enter his native state of Kashmir in defiance of a dis trict magistrate's order. He was arrested today at Domel, 120 miles from the Kashmir state capital of Shinagar. Dewan Chamanlal, central legislator who was with Nehru at the frontier yesterday, also was wounded slightly in the cheelc when he and the congress lead er attempted to push past armed sentries.
