Damage to the powerboats was discovered a half hour before race time yesterday.

WHITNEY MOSCOW lift Russia and China began consultations Monday on the international situation and a number of specific Chinese-Soviet issues. Here for the talks are Chinese Premier-Foreign Minister Chou En- Lsl and a large staff of Chinese military and Industrial experts. Provision for such consultation was laid down In the Feb. 14. 1950 Chinese-Soviet treaty. ' r High on the' list of subjects under discussion obviously is the return to China, oi .the.. Chinese Ouangchurur railway and the mili tary base at Fort Arthur. This was provided for In the I9S0 treaty, to take place not later than the end of 1952. The Premier, who Is also Red China's foreign minister, flew to Moscow yesterday from Peiping with a big delegation that included his deputy premier. Chen Yung. and a sizable group of military experts. The nature of the too-level dis cussions between the world's big Weather Halts Korean Action SEOUL.

It was the third time the hill, east of the Pukhan River, had changed hands In four days of bit ter hand-to-hand fighting. The Chinese first captured the hill last Thursday. U. N. troops won It back early Sunday but be fore noon the Reds rushed the posi tion again. The U.S. Eighth Army said 23 Reds were killed before U.N. troops fell back. There was no report of any new effort on the part of the Chinese to retokc Bunker Hill on the West ern Front from the U.S. Marines. The Leathernecks broke up seven desperate Red chorees atier win ning the ridge last Tuesday, bolts. The bilge and hull of a 24 foot runabout had been soaked with an estimated five gallons of gaso line, which could have ignited at the slightest spark. "Either sabotage could . have killed somebody," Kaiser said. The sawed shaft would have "brok en and ripped boat and driver to shreds" and the stuffed blower on the Gold Cup boat and the gaso line poured into the runabout would have mado fire "almost certain," he added.- . The . industrialist explained it was decided at the last minute that he would pilot the runabout and Collins the Hot Metal, It was widely known; he continued, that he was undecided whether to drive the Hot Metal, an experimental craft. The constable declined to say whether- he thought the damage was aimed at Kaiser's life. But he said It was doubtful anyone was trying to influence the out come of the race. The participants, like Kaiser, are wealthy sportsmen with nearby summer homes and there was no betting, he explained. Kaiser was not deterred from racing.

RED CARPET" The Chinese got a full red-car pet reception by top Soviet leaders at the airport indicating the high Importance the Russian govern ment attaches to the conference. Replying to the official welcome. Chou paid tribute to the "brother ly and unselfish aid" which China is receiving from the Soviet Union ana said ne naa come to strengthen co-operation between the two coun tries even lurther. Chou's last conference in Mos cow, in January. 1960, preceded the Korean War by six months. It appeared certain the new talks will aim at expanding collab oration witnin- tne scope ot the 1950 Soviet-Chinese Friendship and Mutual Aid Pact, the formal basis of the two countries' present close relationship. It is expected an at tempt will be made also to broaden the pact and augment it with ad ditional agreements. CREDIT The Chinese are almost certain to ask for an increase in their 300-miUion-dollar credit for the purchase of Russian Industrial transport and agricultural equip ment and lor more Soviet techni cal aid. They will likely seek also expansion of Soviet-Chinese trade to counter the west s partial block ade of China. Clauses of the 1960 agreement providing for Russia to return the Port Arthur naval base and Man- churian Railway to China are due lor discussion since the agree ments were to be implemented ci ther when the Japanese peace was concluded or by the end oi 1952, which ever was earlier. It is thought here that a Chinese request lor tne return of tne base and railway will bring a sympa thetic Soviet response. Bean Harvest Moves Fast STAYTON UP) The bean harvest in this area has been moving so swiftly that canneries have had trouble keeping up. The yield is big; and the quality Is reported to be excellent. At the Stayton Co-operative Can ning Co. plant up to 380 tons were delivered on top days. Growers re ported that the big Blue Lake Can nery at Salem was getting deliver ies in such large quantities that it was forced to shunt some Into cold storage for later processing. Although acreage this year Is nearly 20 per cent less than last, the big yield, stimulated bv the warm summer nights, is expected to put this area's output close to the 1951 total.
