IPi-Scien lists at the Smithsonian Astro nhvsical Observatory ore pre pared to make their first night . sighting of Sputnik and Ks accom panying rocket when they pass along the coast this week. The rocket passed some 400 miles cast of Boston at 6:27 EST last night but observatory offici als did not attempt to spot it be cause it was not high enough above the horizon to be visible. Tonight the rocket will pass a point 200 miles southeast of Nan tucket at 6:19 p.m. tonight.

A Defense Department spokes man said yesterday that Wilson's intent was for a careful review by each service of its research lest and evaluation programs in the light of the current govern ment economy drive. Congress allotted five billion dollars for research during the current fiscal year, which began July 1. The total included $1,700,- 000,000 for basic research and $3,300,000,000 for research and de velopment procurement. The order directed the military services to make cutbacks equal to 10 per cent of each service's portion of tho $1,700,000,000. But the department spokesman said i the cuts are intended to come out of the $3,300,000,000 procurement fund. .Monroney called the order an example of "meat ax economy," which he said is "10 times as dangerous as have been the re ductions, cutbacks and stretch outs in the procurement of weap ons already in production." The Eisenhower administration has been criticized in the past for an alleged lack of interest in ba sic research the long-range sci entific investigations which fre quently do not produce immedi ately useful results. Monroney said the U.S. program to launch an earth satellite like the Russian Sputnik has been de layed because scientists running the project "have had to justify every increased cent" before one executive budget officer after an other as costs increased. "It is no wonder," Monroney said, "we let the Russians so ex cilc the world with their satellite that Hungary's horrors were eclipsed by the Soviets whirling new moon." Pentagon officials have said in the past that basic research funds would not be affected by the cur rent economy push. Wilson told a Sept. 1(1 news conference that all the basic research money would "be utilized." Girard Balks On Testimony MARBASHI, Japan (ypi GI Wi!-' liam S. Girard today declined to testify on conflicting pretrial statements which he made about tho firing range death of a Japa nese brass collector. Judge Yuzo Kawachi, presiding at Girard's manslaughter trial, called the Ottawa, Illinois, soldier In the stand and asked him about three statements he gave Japanese prosecutors in February.

In one stalment Girard said he lircd a single shot over the heads of Japanese collecting shells on a U.S. tiring range here last Janu ary 30. Girard said he shot "lo chase them away." But in another statement the sol dier said ho fired two shots, "one into the air and one over the head of Japanese shell pickers." Girard admits firing the empty brass easing from his rifle gre nade-launcher which killed Mrs. Naka Sakai. But he says it was an accident that occurred while he was carrying out guard duty. Kawachi sharply questioned Mrs. Sakai's oldest son in today's pro ceedings.

Main - On Display Utility Leader On Power Problems Of N W Cooperative effort on the part of all electric utilities in the region is the only way Oregon and the Northwest can lick power supply problems, a native of Klamath Falls who now heads Oregon's largest corporation told Rotarians Friday. Thomas W. Delzell, chairman of the board and chief executive offi cer of Portland General Electric Company, said the question pro- 7 - , viding adequate power for the Northwest can be resolved, "if all groups pull together toward a com mon goal." Cooperation among utilities and the government was one point in a three-point power program sug gested by Delzell, who was on the staff of the California Oregon Power Company for 16 years. He also urged that power be removed from the political arena and, called for new federal power marketing policies which would give Oregon people "at least a reasonable share of the federal power they have helped create and pay for. "Already," Delzell said, "there have been too many kilowatts lost or delayed because of political side-choosing. Local utilities are now building some four million kilowatts of new power capacity. This amount could have been in creased by at least two million, were it not for politically inspired delay. John Day Dam, for ex ample, would be well under con struction by now and the proposed projects on the middle stretch of the Snake River would have been started. "I must point out that most of this delay comes from Oregon, as contrasted to the rapidly develop ing state of Washington."

"Under present law." Delzell said "eighty five per cent of Oregon's citizens will be denied use of any firm federal power. Nearly all of the power will go to the state of Washington due to the operation of the so-called preference clause, which gives public agencies first call on federal power regardless of who needs it or who helped pay for it." Federal legislation designed to allocate federal power on a fair and equitable basis would guaran tee Oregon almost four times as much power as it will get under present policy. "This means," Delzell said, "Ore gon would get about two million kilowatts of low-priced government power. Two million kilowatts mean an investment of over a half bil lion dollars. 1 know of no other way Oregonians can get the bene fit of such a tremendous invest ment at no additional cost to the state or its people." Delzell pointed out that there Is much precedent for allocation of federal power. He said it can be achieved for Oregon through the united efforts of leaders of both political parties. The speaker has been head of Portland County High School and studying engineering at Oregon State College, Delzell was with Copco until 1935. He served as as sistant Oregon public utilities com missioner before joining PGE.
