murderous attempt on my life." .
Damage to the powerboats was

Chinese; Russian Leaders To
Confer In Top-Level Parley
By THOMAS P. 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 center of the storm, with
winds up ta 90 miles an hour, was
expected to pass slightly south of
Seoul at 10 p.m. (8 a.m.. EST).
umnier-attacking cninese. sup
ported by n 1.425-round mortar
artillery barrage, won a hill out
post on the East-Central Front Sun
day. 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. He finished second to ship

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.
