Police said they were looking for three Oregon State College stu dents known to have been In EuRene Friday. The explosion sent chunks of concrete and rocks flying as far as a quarter-mile, some of them raining down on the Southern Paci- Hc deoot. ALARM SCREAMS Police said it was s co-ordinated raid by pranksters, one of them sneektng into a standby power plant to touch off the general alarm siren located there. 'The plant Is a mile trom stmner's Butte, where the "O" wag situated. Workmen saw man run out of the plant after the siren was touched off. Seconds later the ex plosion came from Skinner's Butte. The siren Is used by the fire de partment for a general alarm, and by civil' defense officials as an air rald warning. Civil defense offi cials admitted sheepishly Saturday tnat tney slept through the 60 se conds the ir- waa sounding. POLICE POWER The Drantsieia further confound ed Dolica when thev soueht elec tricity to -toUtf! off their dfnamite on' BkJnner'g Butte. The nearest meter box on the butte happens to be the one that supplies power for the police radio transmitter. When ihe pranksters tapped the line, uiey threw tne transmitter off the air for an hour. State Policeman Carl Anderson, who lives at the base of the butte, was awakened by the blast at 3:45 a. and by the rocks raining down. He called in. but by the time he and Eugene police got to the scene the pranksters were gone. Eugene police said three Oregon State College students had been arrested early Friday and charged with twins' minors In possession of alcohol. They later were re leased. Police began seeking them after talking with Corvallis police, who said Corvallis also had been troubled by mysterious blasts re cenlv.

Air Force West Coast Vehicle Storage Branch, The company now operates similar depots for the Air Force at Omaha and at Marietta, Ga. Rockefellers, but the irist of the question was lost in a general hub bub that followed the Hiss query. When the furor died down, the general saia ne nad met Hiss only once In his life. He said he had Joined the Car negie Foundation for International Peace, had visited its office and "found that Mr. Hiss was presi dent." '' "That wns the only time I ever ottw him," Eisenhower said empha tically, i never saw him before or since." ,, 'I do not believe It Is necessary for me to defend myself against Communism or Fascism in any form," he told his listeners.

UPv-Presl- dent Truman declared Saturday the United States Air Force In Korea "can bomb the enemy at will, al most anywhere in this territory." He coupled this obvious reply to - Sen. Taft and other critics of ad ministration air policy with the de claration that "short-sighted poli ticians'' are "playing with fire" by slashing defense appropriations while Russia may be plotting "new Koreas in other parts of the globe." in a major address to the annual convention of the 36th Division with which he served in World War One, Truman emphasized "the cold fact that we are still In danger" -from Russia and his point that talk that our Air Force in Korea is "at the mercy of Russian-made enemy planes" Just "isn't true at an." TAFT 8TORT Taft. candidate for the Republi can presidential nomination, said in a talk several days ago that our planes "are outnumbered four to one; our ground forces two to one" and that administration neglect has left us with about 6,000 planes while Stalin has 30,000 In organized com bat groups and is building them "faster than we are." Among other things, the Presi dent said Saturday that the United Slates has nearly 15,000 planes "in active use." The President struck back at con gressional opponents who forced a reduction of from about 51 billion to 46 billion dollars In bis miltary recommendatons and a cut of his foreign military and economic aid program from 67,900,000,000 to 66,- 447,70,750. "We can not tell what the Krem lin is planning. There may be new offensives in Korea. There may be new Koreas in other parts of the globe. The Communists may even be planning greater attacks man we hare seen up to this point. We do not know. We can not be sure. "There is no Justification for slashing appropriations for defense or for aid to our allies. But that Is exactly what a group of short sighted politicians are trying to do. WRONG TIME "This is not the year to play around with meat axes in the field of national security." To "set the record -etMlgMY he said: - "There had been a terrible amount of misinformation about our situation in the air over Korea. To' hear some neoole talk, you would think we were completely outclassed over there and at the mercy of the Russian made enemy air torce. "Now, of course, that Isnt true at all. Here are the facts. We have supremacy over most of North Ko rea. That means we can bomb the enemy at will, almost anywhere in his territory. "At the northern border on the Yalu River, we do not have su premacy, but we do have clear superiority in air power which means we can reach our objec tives, even though we have to fight of: opposition." . .
