WASHINGTON W Secretary
of Interior Chapman told a Sen
ate appropriation! subcommittee
Wednesday he has temporarily
abandoned efforts to obtain funds
to build connecting transmission
line between Bonneville and Cali
fornia Central Vallry power sys
tem. , Chapman described the project
as "Important and very worth
while," but said lin will not ask
lor the money now because it
"may take a llttlo time" to con
vince opponents.
The House recently turned down
an appropriation lor the Bonneville
Central Valley line, and a $1,173.
000 Item for an interconnection be
tween La Grande and Baker, Ore.
Chapman nsked the Senate com
mittee to restore the latter appro
priation. On another power matter, Rep.
Engle (D-Callf.) made public a
letter from Chapman which said
uower Droductlon :t Folsom Dam he
and the proposed Trinity River pro- j checks
Ject should provrae enouxn energy oaca
lor an aluminum or magnesium
plant at Redding, Calif.
Last month Engle asked Chap
man what the situation would be
when Folsom power comes into
production and power from the
Trinity project, not yet authorised
by Congress, becomes available.
Chapman's repiy saia rwisom
alone would not supply enough
power, but he added:
"The Trinity River developments
would alleviate this problem to a
considerable extent.
"With this development In the
picture it should be possible to
supply a reasonable block of power
at high load factor lor magnesium
or other industrial processes with
out disturbing the sufficiency of
supply lor preference customers."

WASHINGTON Un James T.
Byrnes Friday accused President
Truman of spreading falsehoods

"Fiction fur history" in describing
US.-Ruiulnn relations in the dan
gerous months of the developing
cold war.

Bv Truman's account, the Pre
sident read Byrnes a memo saying

Byrnes said he never heard of
any such memo, and then:
1He charged that Truman was
quick to use "sirong language
against the Russians out "he did
not provide the iron fist" to back
up his words.
3 He said "the Soviets will wel

break between them did not come
until Byrnes opened fire on Tru

"The evidence seems plain."
Byrnes said, "that ho became of

"Americans should place loyalty

political party or any poll lien I
candidate. Mr. Truman cannot
understand that."
Time after time Byrnes once a
close friend and Senate colleague of
Truman flatly denied statements
made by Truman In "Mr. Presi

earlier book, Jonathan Daniels'
"The Man of Independence."

On New Tank
WASHINGTON W The tank
the Army gambled on has proved
it can climb better than a man with
out slipping, run under water,
break most city speed limits, stop
on a dime and packs a terrific
wallop.
Gen. J. Lawton Collins says the.
M-47 medium tank, now being
mass produced, is "more than a
match" for ifs Soviet counterparts.
The Army demonstrated the M-47
to newsmen at Aberdeen Proving
Grounds in nearby Maryland
Wednesday.
Officials did not say how many
are built and ready for combat,
but Col. C. G. Wilhide. commander
of the Detroit Tank Arsenal, told
reporters uiey wnai more uian au
types of United States tanks in
Korea combined."
The exhibition indicated to news
men that the M-4 was rid of the
"bugs" that plagued early produc
tion models, ordered built by the
Army as a "calculated risk" after
the Korean War broke out.
Ordinarily, tanks are not built
until pilot models are tested,
"bugs" eliminated In long-drawn-out
experiments. But the Korean
War was serious, the situation in
Europe tense. )
The Army gambled on all-out
production before the routine tests
were completed, and the M-4 med
ium tank demonstrated it had won.
Here are some of the things report
ers saw:
1. The tank showed a speed ol
about 35 miles an hour on a high
way. 2. It climbed a 50 per cent grade
from a standing start too steep
a grade for a man to climb without
slipping.
3. It ran through water so deep
only the turret was visible.
4. It hit a moving target tank
auu yards away in oeaa center.
