McBrlde. however, suggested that firms interested in new plant locations usually checked on the power supply without going through the formality of making an application. He implied that some Industries mignt have been aiscouragea in a Klamath site when their investigations showed the power supply to be compara tively low. Landry said the power problem should be solved by Copco's new generating developments and the coming of Bonneville power to this area. Kerns held that the problem was not peculiar to Klamath, that it was a common problem throughout the Northwest. - The panel was divided on a sug gestion mat new industry might be enticed here by the granting of certain concessions, particularly cheap or free factory sites. McBrlde quickly seconded the Idea but Kerns said San Jose had found It an unwise policy. Kiamatns location was held to be one of the area's biggest assets.

Omar Bradley said Wednesday "we have nothing to fear from military men" dominating the government. The chairman of the joint chiefs of staff who served with Dwight D. Elsenhower when the president elect also was a five-star general made no reference to the latter' election last week. i Indeed, In an address prepared for delivery to the Association of Land Grant Colleges, Bradley made a point of disassociating his comment from the issues of the re cent campaign. He prefaced it by saying he was glad the election was over "because any remarks made by an active-duty soldier dur ing a political campaign might be misconstrued." Bradley said that: "When the people of this nation elect their President and the mem bers of their Congress, they are In a sense entrusting to them the power which could spell peace or war, freedom or tyranny, demo cracy or dictatorship for. the com bined authority of the President and the Congress is almost su preme. With that authority goes the complete responsibility for the future. SUBORDINATE "That Is whr I believe that the military In our government must always keep a subordinate role to the civilian authority, and must In fluence that civilian authority only as heiptul advisors. "But I can say from persona) knowledge, and 40 years of exper ience, that we have nothing to rear from military men themselves. Their role In our national life, even in times of war and International stress. Is far from dominant. "In our armed forces, the demo cratic principle Is stronger than In any other country There axe no military cliques." Bradley discussing the reasons and Justification lor the Korean War. said: "There is one frontier the small. est one In the world that baa be come the most Important one ol all. It is the line acroas Korea a little over 100 miles long. It Is on this short line thkt we have finally faced Communist aggression with military power In open conflict. Our ability to contain the advance of Communist frontiers probably win succeed or fail In large meas ure on this small peninsula. DRAW LINE "We had to draw the line against Communist aggression and we did in June 1960. It was hailed through out the free world as a most cour ageous decision and on that was properly timed. If we had had the necessary military power at that time, and in the right place, Korea may never have occurred and certainly woald have been short lived as a crisis.

A special House committee In vestigating the deaths has blamed Russia, despite Moscow's conten tion the massacre was committed oy me Nazis. The committee Produced tha State Department documents re lating to the Stalin-Roosevelt ex change during an open hearing to support a contention that the dip lomatic break was part of a de tailed Russian plan to Sovletize Poland.The break was announced April 26, 1943, PERSONAL Two days before, Stalin sent a personal and confidential note to President Roosevelt, the document revealed, saying ne coum no long er countenance the "abnormal" conduct of the Polish government Roosevelt replied April 28 asking Stalm to term his action a "sus pension of conversations with the Polish government In exile" rather than complete diplomatic break. The President offered to give sanctuary to any Poles Russia cared to deport, and said he was confident British Prime Minister Churchill could persuade the Polish government in exile to act with "more common sense In the fu ture." German officials had fust an nounced discovery of the Katyn graves, and Polish authorities were blaming the Russians for tha mur ders, i Stalin said the Poles thereby were supporting the "campaign of calumny" and the "vile Fascist slander of the Soviet Union' by to. Hitler regime. PLANNED , A dm, William H. Standley (re tired), then U.
