SHANGHAI. July 20 (IP)

sion to China had failed.

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.

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.

capital at Ruling, where the gen

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

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.

Expert Tells
Of Atom Use
EUGENE. 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.
Portland Gets
Radio Station
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20
(IP) John W. Davis of San
Francisco, who yesterday re
ceived federal communications
commission authority to operate
a radio station at Portland,
Ore., said today he would go to
Portland next week or the week
after to look for a station site.
No sites are under considera
tion as yet, he added.
Davis' authority was for a
standard station, 800 kilocycles,
250 watts power, daytime
hours. He said this was the
type of operation planned "for
the time being."
Davis is the son-in-law of
S. N. Patterson, owner of sta
tion KSAN, San Francisco, and
station KVAK, Atchison, Kas.
He said he and his wife would
be the owners of the Portland
station.
He said he was discharged
from the army last September
after four years and eight
months of service and has been
"working in radio" since that
time.
