In .The-
Kay's lews
, By FRANK; JENKINS
The Kremlin mystery deepens,
Yesterday Russian premier Bui
ganin said in Moscow that the
aerial Inspection phase of President
Eisenhower's peaceful coexistence
and armament reduction plan was
unworkable because of the vast size
pf Russia and the United States,
i Today, in a surprise reappear-
janoe before the Soviet parliament.
'he said his yesterday's statement
. had been misunderstood and then
added:
"Everything will TURN OUT
Whereupon, the dispatches tell
us, the members of the Soviet
parliament cheered enthusiastical
ly. What are we to think of it all?
Let's put It this way:
Before we can have a peace plan
(including armament reduction)
. 'that will work there will have to
be mutual confidence.
As of now, because of what has
happened in the past, we have no
confidence in communist Russia's
peaceful intentions. '
But ' ..
IF the Russians will in the fu
ture, over a sufficient period of
time, do the things that will cause
us to have confidence in them, we
CAN get together on a. plan for
peace and armament reduction,
, That's about the size of it,
But let's get closer home:
The Portland city council has
passed by a four tone vote a
sweeping ordinance to ban ALL
mechanical amusement ' devices
that have an element of GAMB
LING. ,.
Portland's ccuncilmen must have
been reading the constitution of
Oregon t- which declares (Article
XV; Sec. 4): '
"LOTTERIES, and the sale of
lottery tickets, FOR ANY PUR
POSE WHATEVER, are PROHIB
f ITED. and the legislative assembly
shall PREVENT the same by penal
laws."
Members of Oregon city coun
cils (along with a wide range ol
other public officials) must take
an oath to support the constitution
of the United States and the
constitution of the state of Oregon.
It is a solemn oath, ending with
the pledge: "So help me God."
One can imagine that a member
of an Oregon city council, reading
ine constitution of our state and
recalling the oath Vie took when, he
assumed his office, would ' be con
siderably disturbed in his con
science every time he looks a
money-paying (or merchandise-
paying) slot machine of any de
scription In the eye,.
, What is a lottery?'" I
Webster defines it as 'a scheme
for the distribution of prizes by
lot; especially such a scheme in
which lots, or chances, are sold."
Put it to yourself tils way:
When you put a coin in the slot
of a machine that offers a prize
(money or merchandise) you BUY
A CHANCE. I suppose that when
the founding fathers of our state
adopted our constitution they
thought of a "lottery" as putting
numbers in a hat. But that was be
fore the machine age.
Logical reasoning must lead to
the conclusion that when' you put a
coin in the slot of a machine that
offers a prize you are BUYING
A CHANCE.
That the constitution of Oregon
forbids.
The constitution is tile SU
PREME law of our stale.
Public officials in Oregon (in
cluding city councilmen) take a
solemn oath to support Oregon's
constitution.

Democratic Senaiors Assail
FPC's Hells Canyon Ruling
WASHINGTON tfl Democratic
senators assailed bitterly today
the Federal Power Commission's
action in approving' a privately fi
nanced hydroelectric project in the
Hell's Canyon area.
The Democrats indicated they in
tend to make a national issue, if
possible, of the commission's giant
to the Idaho Power Co. of author
ity to build three power dams.
These would flood the site of a
proposed federal Hell's Canyon
dam on the Snake River border
between Idaho and Oregon.
Public power advocates have
been trying unsuccessfully for
years to have Congress authorize
a single, high-level dam in the
canyon as a federal project. They
have contended the private devel
opment would not make full use of
the potential.

ROSTOV ON THE DON. USSR
(UP) A delegation of American
farmers visiting Soviet collective
and state farms in the Kuban area
of the North Caucasus is scheduled
to leave today for Stalingrad on its
tour of the Soviet Union.
The Americans are making the
Journey via the Don Canal. i
Yesterday they wound up their
inspection tour of the Kuban area,
which included visits to six collec
tive and three state farms. During
the tour, the Americans got a good
look at Soviet livestock and ex
changed practical farm ideas with
Russian dirt farmers.
The Americans were impressed
by the high quality of small grains
and said they saw corn that looked
as though it would yield 60 bushels
an acre.
"We saw the best and it was
good," one . delegation member
said. . . j
The delegation inspected agricul
tural machinery at a machine sta
tion, a cheese plant and large state
grain elevator. They also visited
the huge Vezi Zarya hoe farm
iwhere they -asked many questions
aoout soviet hog raising methods,
feed 'rations, marketing programs
and Utter testiiiK. ,
The Russian farmers wuiiled to
itnow bdoui u. a. nog weights, feed
methods, labor saving devices and
workers wages. They were parti
cularly interested in self-feeders,
impressed by the fact that. John
Steddon of Iowa raised 1000 hogs
annually with the help of only two
men. Here each swineherd takes
care of from 10 to 20 sows and
their piglets.

WINEMA ELEVATORS, INC., is building eight new steal tank-type grain elevator units at Hen
ley beside the Great Northern railroad. The huge cylinders are built on a concrete bast. A crane
lifts sections of the structure info place to be riveted together by workmen. ' The elevators
will be equipped with up-to-date cleaning facilities with equipment for unloading a truckload
of grain in three minutes. The units will have a capacity of 90,000 buihels, which gives the Wi
nema Elevators, Inc. an over-all capacity of 1,200,000 bushelt of storage in the Klamath Basin.
Other elevators are located at Malone siding near Merrill, TuleUke, Stronghold, and West
Sid. Headquarters are at Tuleleke. Tha elevators are locally owned. Winema Farms, forerun
ner of Winema Elevators, Inc., built the first bulk grain storage in this area. Grain was sacked
from the combines in the early days of grain farming. Grain will be received at Henley by Au

that by the time the Democratic
controlled Congress gets through
with it the commission's order
"will be corroding in the same
graveyard where the Dixon-Yates
contract reposes."
Sen. Magnusen (D-Wash) called
it "a complete sell-out of God
given resources to the private pow,
er lobby."
Sen. Humphrey (D-MInn) said
in a separate interview the FPC
action . announced yesterday "is
just another example of the fact
that this administration waits un
til Congress is away to uncork
its special interests packages."
"I am sure that a great many
senators will - be raising 'Hell's
Canyon' about this decision," he
said. ,.
FPC Chairman Jerome K. Kuy
kendall denied that the announce
ment was purposely withheld until
Congress adjourned. He said it was
processed "in regular shape."
In its unanimous decision to give
Idaho Power a 50-year license to
build the Brownlee, Oxbow and
Low Hell's Canyon dams, the com
mission said its order "will pre
clude a federally constructed sin
gle high dam" at the site.
The commission said it had con
cluded that if financing, construc
tion and operation of the differing
proposals were carried on by the
same entity "the ratio of power
benefits to power costs of the three
dam plan is greater than that for
the one-dam plan . ."
Officials of the National Hell's
Canyon Assn., which opposed the
company applications before the
FPC. have indicated they will take
the decision to the courts. A.foiv
ma I decision will be made at a
board meeting in Portland, Ore.'.

News Helps
Chances For
MAfintiatinn
WASHINGTON tf) Administra
tion hopes for successful disarma
ment negotiations with Ruasla got
a new boost Friday from Premier
Bulganin's dramatic reversal of
his own dismissal of ao Eisenhow
er plsn for trading- U.S.-Coviet
military information. ,
President Eisenhower ttld
news conference Thursday that the
United States will present new pro
posals for arms inspection and con
trol when a United Nations dis
armament subcommittee meets at
Mew York later this month. Jt
said he did not consider that Bul
ganin's dismissal of his plan as
unrealistic had "closed th door"
to negotiation. .;.-.
OPTIMISTIC TONE V ' : t ,
Elsenhower's ; whole tone was
friendly and optimistic in the
same vein in which he and Bul
ganln dealt with each other at
Geneva. Elsenhower's refusal to
admit publio discouragement may
be one of the reasons why Bul
ganln, within the short space of 34 '
hours, reversed hia stand, Friday
the Soviet Premier contended the
world press had misunderstood his
Thursday's statement and aaid
the Elsenhower proposal la still
under consideration. '
Another factor in the turnabout
may well have been a delayed re
alization on Bulganin'a part that
tic vuuiu nut aiiuro 10 we in a neg
ative position on this Issue because
of the damage that would do to
Russia's new tactio of friendship
and peaceful coexistence.
Elsenhower took the stand that
an agreement to end the arms
race Is still inside the realm of
possibility.
(Earlier story on page M)
MOSCOW wn Premier Bulganin
said Friday his government will
continue to study President Eisen
hower's proposal for an exchange
of military information and mutual
aerial inspection.
Bulganin tcld the Supreme Soviet
that Soviet Russia naturally pre
fers its own disarmament propos
al, but nevertheless will not refuse
to consider other sincere plans.
IKE'S PROPOSAL
In this connection he said Eisen
hower's proposal still Is under con
sideration. The Soviet Union is try
ing to find ways to get the post
tlons of the two sides close; to
gether and find agreement, the
premier asserted. '
Thursday Bulganin told the u
preme Soviet President Eisenhow
er's plan would be ineffective "b
oause our two countries comprise
vast areas on which, if . it. were
desired, one could hide anything
one wanted to." Tha 1,500 deputies
burst into laughter at this,
The statement Thursday Was
taken as a rejection of the plan.
SVMPATHV i
But President Elsenhower said
later he did not feel Bulganin had
closed the door to agreement on
disarmament, Eisenhower aaid tha
United States will consider sympa
thetically Russian proposals along
the same line with a determina
tion to find a solution fair to both
sides. ,
Bulganin'a remarks came in dis
cussion of his report on the Geneva
summit conference.
"Everything will turn out well,"
Bulganin told the deputies Friday,
and they broke into cheers.
SUKI'ltlNE RETURN
The prime minister made a sur-i
prise return to the podium in the
air-conditioned Parliament cham
ber. He said bis statement Thurs
day about tha impractablllty of the
Elsenhower proposal had been
"misunderstood" by the foreign
press.
Bulganin's speech wound tip a
two-day session of the Supreme
Soviet which was called in to hear
him report on the Geneva confer
ence. ':
The deputies.' all outstanding
figures in their home communities,
will now spread the official gov
ernment line on international af
fairs. This is for coexistence and
a spirit of friendliness for foreign
nations.
