CO? la The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: The Army has mapped a two year study of the frightening pos sibility that the myriad of elec tronic devices employed by a modern lighting force MIGHT JAM EACH OTHER IN COM BAT! Major General Robert J. Wood of the Army's research and de velopment office told about the problem in closed-door testimony to the House Defense Appropria tions subcommittee on February 23. His testimony was made pub lic today. He said that with rapid strides in electronics the modern battlefield is becoming overrun with gadgets that use electro magnetic waves. These range from a walkie-talkie radio to the complex centers used to guide missiles. He added: "If the Army went to war to day, it would have at least 20 THOUSAND electronic emitter de vices in a square 60 miles on each of its four sides. "And- "That doesn't count Navy and Air Force gadgets or what the enemy forces might have." That is to say: If all these wave-emitting ro bots with which modern war is waged went into action all at once, in one battle, they might STYMIE EACH OTHER SO COM PLETELY that the battle would come to a stop and thousands of people who might otherwise have died would remain alive. Speed the day! In that event, we might have the common horse sense to CALL OFF WAR. From Salem: At a press conference yesterday Governor Mark Hatfield said his Eastern trip last week resulted in 14 "very warm industrial possibili ties that might result in new pay rolls for Oregon." Oregon's governor and 19 Ore con businessmen made the trip to New York, Washington and Chi cago. They met with 40 represen tatives of industry, finance and government in an effort to get them to establish plants in Ore gon. At his conference in Salem. Governor Hatfield added: "Our main pitch was not that we wanted to take industry away from the East. What we were there for, we told them, was to PERSUADE INDUSTRY TO EX PAND TO SERVE THE EX PANDING MARKETS IN THE WEST." The West is changing. There was a time when there weren't enough people west of the Rockies to support even ONE big industry let alone hundreds of them. In those days, the West got its manufactured goods from the East with the freight added. In those days, nearly all national advertisements for consumer goods carried this note: "Prices HIGHER in the West." Not any more. We now have OUR OWN MARKET. It is a GROWING market. The eleven Western states are increasing in population twice as fast percent agewisc as the rest of the country. Industry is moving westward to lake advantage of this growing market. In those earlier days, we yelled bloody murder for lower trans continental freight rates so that we could get our raw materials back East to the factories where they were fabricated and could then get the finished products back to us as cheaply as pos sible. NOW abnormally low transcon tincntal freight rates tend to be a handicap rather than an asset be cause they make it easier for Eastern manufacturers to get their products into our growing Western market in competition with our growing Western indus tries. We now say to the Easterners: "If you want your share of our burgeoning Western market MOVE YOUR FACTORIES OUT HERE TO THE WEST AND CRE ATE PAYROLLS HERE." End Of Acting Strike Reported Set HOLLYWOOD (AP) A settle ment has been reached that should end the four week old movie actors strike Wednesday or Thursday, it was reliably report ed today.

A joint statement reporting par ticularly on development of a joint position on nuclear tests was Superiority Of Germans Hit By Red REIMS, France (AP) Nikita S. Khrushchev charged today that the master race myth is reviving and vengeance is being reborn in West Germany. Standing less than 1(K) miles from the West German border on the traditional invasion route from the east, the Soviet Premier told a luncheon audience: I am disturbed by the words of 'Chancellor) Konrad Adenauer that Germany has the job of sav ing Europe. "We cannot accept such a theo ry that the Gcmans are a superior race and that the others are ser vants. 'We must not allow ourselves lo fail in an action which will pre vent the aggressor from attacking us a third time. Vengeance is be ing reborn in Germany." He started off mildly, saying that he wanted to live in friend ship with West Germany and had no wish to embroil France with her former foes. But he swung swiftly into the theme he had stressed harshly in Paris: There is a menacing rebirth of German militarism and it is up to the French and the Russians to join together and see it doesn't get out of hand. Khrushchev's verbal explosion came after a morning tour of bat tlefields of World War I in the Verdun area, where nearly a half million Frenchmen died in fight ing off the Germans in 1916.
