HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON XCCTKy, SVIX 12, 1854 PAGE EIGHT State Department Studies New Foreign Aid Policies By C. MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON Wl Foreign Re lations Committee senators await ed a State Department okay today on a plan which by year's- end could snap the foreign aid pipe- Tax Exempt Foundations Defended NEW YORK Wl The Cornegie Crop, says witnesses in a congres sional investigation have attacked several tax - exempt foundations "through a shocking combination of Innuendo and implication." In a statement sent to the special House committee to investigate tax-exempt foundations. Corpora tion President Charles Dollard said yesterday: "The question has been raised In these hearings as to whether foundations h a v o supported pro American' projects and, through a shocking combination of innuendo and implication, the Impression nas been left that perhaps they have failed In this respect." "As far as the Carnegie Crop. Is concerned," he said, "there can be only one answer to such a ques tion. The corporation regards its entire program as 'pro-American. ... It Is the whole purpose of the corporation trutsecs and officers to work In behalf of their country, to strengthen it and to ensure Its future." An attorney for the multimilllon dollar foundation also took the committee to task for ending the hearings before spokesmen for the foundations had a chance to testi fy, even though the foundation critics were heard at length "and with full publlciR"." Atty. John E. F. Wood said, "I doubt that any other congressional Inquiry ever followed a procedure no alien to American standards of Justice and so obviously unfair and prejudicial to a group of respected persons and Institutions." The committee chairman, Rep. B. Carroll Reece (R-Tcnn), could not be reached in Washington for comment. The foundation's case was con tained In a 32-page statement and 19-page memorandum which Dol lard asked the committee to in clude in reaords of the hearing. Dollard defended the work of foundations as a valuable asset to American education. Public funds for education, he said, are fnr greater than those from private foundations. "Yet," he added, "the privato contribution is substantial and without It the pattern of high er education in this country would have lost an elemrnt which hns given richness and diversity to the whole system." Dollard denied that foundations W'ere used as a tax dodge and added: "Both the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations were set up at a time when there where no fed eral Income or estate taxes." Irrigation Law Change Asked WASHINGTON Ml Rep. Engtr (D-Callf) Monday proposed a compromise chanpe In the 160-acre limitation for irrigation water under the rccliimation law. His proposal would permit a farmer to get water for more than lfiO acres from a federal water project by paying a price thai would return to the federal government the lull cost of serving the additional lands, including , interest. Enple ottered as an amendment to the reclamation act a bill to provide for a two-price system for Water sold from a federal project. ! The price lor 160 acres, or 320 cres for a husband and wife. I would be lower because it would be designed to repay the federal ' investment without interest as at j present. The price on lands in i excess of liiO acres (or 320) would be stepped up to Include repayment of principal mid interest. line to two major U. S. Allies, France and Italy. Acting Committee Chairman H. Alexander Smith (R-NJ), who took the virtual ultimatum to de partment chiefs for a quick study yesterday, said he believes they welcomed it but wanted to be "perfectly clear as to just what the language means" before the senators take a final vote perhaps at a scheduled closed session to day. The amendment. tentatively adopted without dissent in a week end session, would shut off U. S. military and economic assistance to France and Italy Dec. 31 If they fail by then to join the Euro pean Defense Community or an acceptable substitute defense scheme. TOUtill VERSION Offered by Sen. Knowland of California, the majority leader, the new amendment is a tougher ver sion of wording already adopted by the House when It passed the foreign aid bill new before the Sen ale group. Smith said it would cut in half the delivery of goods on order "in the pipeline," as ho phrased it. The House provision, known as the Richards amendment, would deny to either country a share of 1954 or 1955 foreign aid funds if they stayed out of EDC. But it would hnve let them continue to get benefits from the 1051, 1D51! and 1953 programs. Asst. Secretary of State Livings ton T. Merchant was quoted in Foreign Relations Committee tes timony made public yesterday as jnying he had no objection to the Richards amendment. PREDICTION Merchant predicted, however, that both France and Italy would join EDC this year. Four other nations West Germany, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg have ratified the six-nation, project which calls for an international army to defend Europe. The United States views such joint action by the Europeans themselves as a necessary bulwark against the So viet threat, but the French in par ticular have balked on grounds it opens the door to German rearm ament. The Senate committee has de cided to lop about 10 per cent off the original administration foreign aid request, placing the over-all total now at about $3,100,000,000. Also in the aid measure, which sets a dollar ceiling without pro-, viding the actual appropriations, is another amendment offered by Knowland dealing with admission of Red China to the United Nations. LESSER DEMAND As adopted In committee Satur day, the Red China amendment falls far short of Knowland's orig inal demand that Congress have the United States automatically pull out of the U.N. if Commu nist China is seated. The new version, reportedly tem pered at administration urging, would once again put Congress on record against Peiping's seating. But in the event Red China is ad mitted, it rails in President Eisen hower to tell the lawmakers how this affects U. S. foreign policy "together with any recommenda tions which he may have." Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chair man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was disclosed in the testimony made public yesterday as being opposed to any trade with Iron Curtain areas now. He said there should be no trade : "until there is some indication on their part Unit they are not our deadly enemies." While some ar-: ruo that trade with the Reds is 1 all right If it results In a "net advantage" to this country, he said, "the military men feel It is I a very dangerous thing." I COUNT 'EM! Seven cream-colored Siamese kittens romp with mother Tai Mau on a brown satin quilt at the home of their owners, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kelley, 506 Owens Street. There were eight in the litter but one was smothered by Tai Mau soon after birth. This many kittens at one time is something of a record for Siamese cats who usually have no more than four. Mr. and Mrs. Kelley now have I I of the same breed. Tai Mau is a prolific mamma. She has given birth to 35 kittens since she was born, February 28, 1948. Hew Defense For Germ War Shown Tourist Trade Holding Up PORTLAND M Oregon's summer tourist trade is holding up pretty well, considering the wet chilly early vacation period. P. L. Crowe, manager of ihc Oregon State Motor Assn.'s travel department, said that, in fact, the weather hasn't cut tourist travel at all. H. Ray Henderson, executive secretary of the Oregon Motor Court Assn.. said motel operators have reported a slight increase in July business although three told him last week the weather cut the the same monnow is the tme for ail June volume. V. A.

The 1952 Democratic presidential nominee told a statewide Demo cratic rally here the administration has lavorcd 'the benellt ot the lew at the expense o the many." It has moved with menacing swift ness aualnst our traditional and time-tested programs of public resources and conservation,' he said. A crowd estimated at 3.000 cheered as Stevenson raked Republican power and water policies. He came here alter vacationing for the week on a Central Oregon ranch. The former governor of Illinois said he did not believe that when the people voted Republican In 1052 they "intended their vote as a license to turn the national domain over to private Interests." 'I oiten warned during the campaign of 1952." he continued, "that the Republican policy of relinquishing the tidelands was also dangerous as a precedent for giving away other assets of the . nation that belong lo the people. ; And that is exactly what Appears to be happening." weather have business. hurt beach resort Oklahoma Plans Primary Runoff !

Relief Ship Hunts Raff SAN FRANCISCO W A relief vessel with supplies for the five hungry and thirsty crew members of I he raft Lchi renews its search Monday with an assist from air- planes. The motorless raft was sighted from a Navy plane about 35 miles, southwest of Santa Cruz Sunday but couldn't be located by the Princeton, a fishing boat with sup plies aboard. The 32-foot Lent was towed out-: side San Francisco's Golden Gate Friday. .Aboard were five rank amateurs' trying to drift 2,200 miles to Ha waii. They took no water or food. They ere relying upon nature in the vast Pacific to supply their needs wind, rain, or ' water from a solar still, and fish lor food. They got olf to a poor start.

Figures released by the state election board Sunday confirmed Kerr would have to face former Gov. Roy J. Turner m the July 27 runoff primary for the Demo cratic nomination for U.S. Sen ale. Although Kerr out-polled Turn er 238,543 to 205.211, seven other candidates had sutficicnt strength to prevent a majority. WASHINGTON (fl The latest and most valuable gadget the mil itary has for countering germ war fare attack is a flimsy disc of paperlike substance, slightly larg er than a silver dollar. The chief of the Army's chemical warfare service, Maj. Gen. William M. Creasy, calls it a significant step toward ''development of a rev olutionary detection device around which a workable defense" against stealthy bacteriological warfare is being built. In a recent speech. Creasy men tioned "a very thin filter which will trap bacteria, permitting them to be identified within 15 hours, or one sixin of the time previously required." Iho Defense Department, in re sponse to inquiries, today displayed the gadget, an unimpressive disc looking like li might have been cut from a thin sheet of cross-ruled paper. But its production took the brains of some wartime German bacter iological warfare experts and im provements for mass producing by American experts who captured similar filters at the end of World war ii. ' Like the membrane fitters used in all laboratories, this one is des ignated as a "millipore" filter. Its! extreme porosity allows water to! run through it quickly and freely, f but trapping on its surface all mi- j cro-organism or their poisonous products which constitute one of the chief instruments of bacterio Igical warfare. On the surface of the disc , marked off in small squares, are deposited all germs or their prod-1 ucts m a liquid water, milk or other drink. The squares provide a method for bacteria count. Under a microscope and other common testing apparatus of a lab oratory, the presence of a dan gerously high bacterial count, to- Until development of this .method gether with the type of bacteria, a gelatin plate-culture method was can be fcpotted in a matter of needed, a process requiring almost hours. our da's- I the best for f f.-'.ii., yi " I LlfV the least- jj , fM Old Quaker "Qt li S'Al'ii J.
