Morse Renews
Attack on McKay
‘Give-Away’ Policy
WASHINGTON Iff)—Sen. Morse
(D-Ore) Monday renewed on the
Senate floor a contention Secre
tary of the Interior McKay “has
given away millions of dollars.”
McKay is resigning from the
Cabinet to seek the Republican
nomination in Oregon to run
against Morse for the Senate this
fall.
Morse’s comment came during
a speech by Sen. Neuberger <D
Ore). Neuberger charged the Eis
enhower Administration is giving
the best power sites in the west to
private utility firms but supports
federal development of high cost
sites.
In his argument, Neuberger
cited the $760 million upper Col
orado River project, supported by
the President, and the proposed
$308 million Hells Canyon federal
dam project, which the adminis
tration has opposed.
Morse interjected that sites
“being turned over to private util
ity companies under this adminis
tration” are those which could
generate power at rates from 2.5
to 3.5 mills per kilowatt hour.
“Private utility companies at
the same sites would generate and
sell power at from around 5 to 7
mills,” he said.
John Gilbert Graham
Objects to Televising of
Murder Trial April 16
DENVER, UP—Arguments on a
request by John Gilbert Graham
for a ban on any televising of his
murder trial will be heard Thurs
day by Dist. Judge Joseph M. Mc
Donald.
McDonald set the hearing Mon
day after Graham’s court-appoint
ed lawyers filed an affidavit in
which the defendant asserted “my
rights will be prejudiced toy the
taking of live or canned televi
sion.”
Graham is scheduled to go on
trial April 16 before Judge Mc
Donald. He is accused in the death
of his mother, 54-year-old Mrs.
Daisy E. King of Denver. She was
one of 44 persons . killed near
Longmont, Colo., last Nov. 1 when
a commercial airliner exploded
and crashed.
Live telecasts or live radio
broadcasts of the Graham trial
were banned last week by Judge
McDonald. He said, however, he
would allow television stations to
make sound-on-film telecasts for
later release.
News photographers will be
permitted to take pictures of trial
proceedings, and radio stations
may make tape recordings for
later use.

Wilson Returns
From Inspection
Of DEW Line
WASHINGTON, (^-Secretary
of Defense Wilson, back from a
personal inspection of the Distant
Early Warning Line project, said
today “it looks like a great deal of
progress is being made.”
| Wilson, with Secretary of the
Air Force Quarles and Gen. Earle
E. Partridge, chief of the Air De
fense Command, returned to the
capital early today after a 9,000
mile flying trip. Wilson left last
Friday and visited Greenland, the
Canadian north and Alaska.
Expressing his satisfaction with
what he saw of the construction
work of the radar warning fence
which will stretch from Baffin Is
land to western Alaska, Wilson
said “everyone seems to have his
job in hand.”
Asked when he thought the
more than 50 radar stations would
be completed, Wilson said the con
struction appeared to be progress
ing satisfactorily but added “it
takes a little time to become oper
ational” in a project of that mag
nitude.
Newsmen who recently traveled
along the DEW Line route were
told that as much as two years
might be needed to build all the
stations of the warning system,
together with an elaborate net
work of radio communications.
In Canada, Wilson was joined
by several top officials of that
government for the inspection
trip. They included Production
Minister C. D. Howe and Defense
Minister Ralph Campney.

day. He suffered facial burns
which may cause the loss of sight
in his right eye; a mangled hand

Bartlett Backs
Stevenson for
April 24 Primary
CHICAGO, —Alaska’s dele
gate to Congress said Monday no
one can tell Alaskans how to vote,
but he bets a good number of
them will endorse Adlai Steven
son in the territory’s first presi
dential preference primary on
April 24.
Delegate E. L. Bartlett, a Dem
ocrat, lunched with Stevenson
and later issued a statement call
ing the former Illinois governor
“one of the great men of this cen
tury.”
Sen. Estes Kefauver is also en
tered in the Alaska Democratic
primary, which is strictly a popu
larity contest. The vote is not
binding on the territory’s six dele
gates to the Democratic National
Convention, who have already
been selected. Bartlett’s statement
did not mention Kefauver.
“Gov. Stevenson was in Alaska
in 1&54,” Bartlett said. “He trav
eled extensively through the ter
ritory. Everywhere he is highly
regarded.
“I should think Gov. Steven
son’s forthright stand for Alaska
statehood—expressed before, dur
ing and after his Alaska trip—will
not be forgotten by the Alaska
voters on April 24.
"THEFT” ON LAW'S SIDE
MEMPHIS, Tenn., UPt—The po
lice radio dispatcher yesterday in
structed squad cars to disregard a
previous notice of the theft of a
citizen’s automobile.
“The car is not stolen,” he ex
plained. “The finance company
has got it.”
Carl Glavinovich, manager of
the U. S. Smelting Co., who has
been stateside for medical treat
ment, returned home last evening
after an absence of over a month.

Air Force Takes Action to Develop
Planes Flying on Nuclear Power
WASHINGTON, UP)—'The Air
Force announced Tuesday it will
build a nuclear reactor facility at
the Wright Air Development Cen
ter in Dayton, Ohio. It was the
third move in 24 hours in a sud
den speedup of activity aimed at
flying on nuclear power.
Monday’s actions were the
award of two contracts for devel
opment of an airframe to carry an
atomic engine.
The Dayton installation will be
started in June. It is scheduled
for completion by January 1958 at
a cost of $7Vi million.
It will be used to test materials,
parts and systems that are being
developed for airplanes using
atomic power.
Thus, it ties in both with the
airframe projects and the atomic
power plant development work by
private firms which has gone
along with them.
4th Big Newsprint Mill
Since World War II
To Be Built in South
NEW YORK, UP!—International
Paper Co., world’s largest paper
manufacturer, will build a $57
million newsprint and paperboard
mill near Fdne Bluff, Ark., John
H. Hinman, chairman, said today.
The plant will open another
source of domestic supply of
newsprint to U.S. newspapers,
which use more than six million
tons a year. Up to now, about 80
percent of this newsprint has been
supplied by Canada.
This will be the fourth big
newsprint mill to go up since
World War II in the South, which
previously had little newsprint
production. I
One of the airframe projects is
new business as far as the govern
ment is concerned and is expected
to be the largest facility of the
sort in the country. The contract
went to Lockheed Aircraft Co. of
Burbank, Calif., for a multi-mil
lion-dollar laboratory at Dawson
ville, Ga. It will be owned by the
government but operated by Lock
heed on a 10,000-acre tract which
the company bought and deeded
to the government for $1.
The other airframe contract
continues a project which the
Convai; division of General Dy
namics Corp. has been carrying
on for more than four years at its
Fort Worth, Texas, plant.
