Marshall's Peace Mission to Chinese Called Failure SHANGHAI. July 20 (IP) Diplomatic sources privately agreed today that U. S. General George A. Marshall'! peace mis sion to China had failed. Seemingly confirming the opinion, the nationalist govern ment began moving more men toward the fighting fronti and the communists were reported re inforcing their positions. General Marshall was believed unlikely to have the opportunity to confer with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek In the summer Rotary Told Training Of Boys Faulty "We are faced with the situa tion that our youth is going downhill physically ... we are not doing our job ... we must take stock of the manner in which our boys are given phy sical training. ' These are the opinions that were strongly voiced to the Rotary club Friday by Col. Preston B. Walerbury of Ash- Col. Walerbury, who holds the Lesion of Merit citation for outstanding physical education work with the army, is work ing on plans for establishing ' military prep school at Ash land. He is retired after 34 years with the army. Col. Waterbury's work has been with national guard and ROTC units as well as regular army duty. Citing the fact that one out of every three army inductees in World War II were unable to pass the physical test, he warned that the nation is ! remiss in its physical education 1 programs for youth. 1 He advocates a program that ; builds a boy's physical well-; being and skill on five points: i strength, aggressiveness, team work, confidence and endur ance. The program must be worked out for the boy, but it : is essential to secure the boy's cooperation, he said. Col. Waterbury was intro duced by Ken Klahn. who was chairman of the day for Rotary. Sam Ritchey, president of the club, gave a brief report on a recent Rotary assembly at Sal em, at which "Cap" Collier spoke on the Klamath club's annual Junior Livestock show and auction. Walter Mclntyre. Klamath Falls United Airlines station agent, was a guest at the luncheon. Another Suit Filed On PUD . LA GRANDE, July 20 MP) Another suit seeking to have the Union county PUD purchase proposal declared illegal was on file in circuit court today: this one brought by Island City, El gin and five individuals. The plaintiffs charged that the PUD and Union County Electric cooperative had ar ranged to borrow $500,000 from the government to force public power on the people without a vote. The PUD plans to buy elec tric systems in La Grande, Cove, and Morgan Lake. A bond issue was approved by voters, but private individuals in a similar suit filed earlier contended the present purchase proposal is different from the voter-approved plan. Island City and Elgin city councils have asked the state public utility commissioner and the rural electrification admin istration to withhold approval of the purchase and any loan, pending a vote. In the suit, the cities and the individuals asked the court to outline the rights of the PUD and cooperative, void contracts between the two, forbid the PUD to purchase only a part of the district's electric systems, and order the question of loans from the purchase to be sub milted to vote.

Auto Accident Fatal To Visiting Priest ALBANY, July 20 A)A visiting Catholic priest died yes terday, and his brother lay In a hospital in serious condition as the result of their car belim crowded off the Toledo-Newport roaa ittst aunaay. The Rev. Francis Len Tinm. browsky, 50, Spearville, Kas., succumbed in a hospital here. Recovery of his injured broth er, noDeri uomorowsKy, New ton, Kas., was doubtful. Tho two were visiting rela tives In Oregon. capital at Ruling, where the gen eral went with U. S. Ambassador Dr. John Leighton Stuart. A similar pessimistic attitude was expressed at the communist headquarters in Nanking when a check was made on whether or not Communist Chief Nego tiator Gen. Chou En-lai would visit Killing to talk with Chiang. The official asked the question countered with the comment: "There's nothing left to talk about." Meanwhile, quarters profess ing to be "in the know" predicted Marshall would return home around the middle of August after making a final effort to retrieve the steadily deteriorat ing situation. This view coincides with the persistent reports that the gov ernment has abandoned all hopes of a peaceful settlement and in tends to launch an all-out attack against the communists in Sep tember. The rumors also are persistent that the attack would have been mounted some weeks ago save for the vigorous protestations by Marshall. It is predicted that if the U. S. envoy abandons the peace mis sion as a bad job, American forces in China will be speedily withdrawn. Nationalist troops on the move today included reinforcements for the north bank of the lower Yangtze river to safeguard river communications between Shang hai and Nanking and to forestall any possible communist attempt to cross the waterway to menace the Shanghai-Nanking railway. Three thousand nationalist troops left here Friday morning and others were reported en route to the fronts. Size and destination of com munist movements were not reported.

July 20 (IP) Ernest C. Pollard, Yale univer sity nuclear physicist, said he expects peacetime application of atomic energy very soon and experimental power plants within a decade. Pollard told a University of Oregon audience last night that atomic energy, though Impor tant in regions with scant power sources, probably would not supplant hydro-electric power in areas like Oregon. He predicted that the cost of uranium would drop lower than coal eventually, making pos sible wider use of atomic ener gy. Another, probability, Pol lard said, is using the neutron to supplement X-rays. The Yale scientist told inter viewers that peaceful experi mentation with atomic power should be more freely permit ted, and declared that the world would gain far more profit from investments in basic nu clear research than from experi ments with the atom bomb.
