Falling Plane Misses
Israeli Premier, Kills
IS Few Feet Away
BY the Associated Press

TEL AVN, Israel, July 30
Israeli Premier Moshe Sharett
had a narrow escape from death
when a small plane skinned
above his head and crashed into
a crowd about 80 feet from him
yesterday. Fifteen persons were
killed and 26 injured.
The pilot, 27-year-old Uri
Calm, and a passenger were
thrown clear and only slightly
hurt.
The disaster occurred at Maa-
gan settlement, near the Sea Of
Galilee, where a crowd Of 1000
had gathered for the unwilling
of a monument to the late
Peretz Goldstein. one of a group
of Jewish parachutists who went
on a British sponsored mission
behind the German lines in
World War II.
Ex-Parachutists Victims.
Fifteen of the men who went
with Goldstein were at Maagan
for the memorial ceremony
Four were killed in the crash
Galin's plane and another
Piper Cub were circling over the
crowd to parachute copies OF a
message from President Izhak
Ben xvi when the parachute
from Galin's aircraft tangled in
it's undercarriage. The pilot
leaned out and succeeded in re-
leasing it, but lost control OF
his ship.
Guard Commander Killed.
The plane plunged down in
front of the Premier. then leveled
off just few inches above the
heads of an honor guard OF for
mer paratroopers. But 1t struck
their commander on the head
killing him instantly.
Then it veered and shot over
the heads of two rows of honor
guests, crashing in flames in the
midst of the stunned crowd.
Many of the victims were
burned beyond recognition.

the world supply of coffee will be
even larger next year.
Inadequate Crop Reporting
One of the basic causes of spir-
aling prices. the ETC report said,
was inadequate crop reporting.
The buyers here had no way of
knowing what the crop situation
was in the growing countries.
In addition, the ETC said its
investigation, which began last
January, showed that these
things were responsible:
/. Speculation on the New
York Coffee and Sugar Exchange
by private Brazilian interests
which bought heavily just before
the public announcement that
the Brazilian government was
going to increase it's coffee loan
rate.
2. American speculation and
abnormal inventory buying by
importers and large roasters.
8. The announced increase in
Brazil's minimum export price
from So cents to 81 cents a
pound, effective last July /.
4. Limiting of futures trading
on the exchange to about 10 per
cent of the annual consumption
here.
S. Trading irregularities on the
exchange.
Lower Prices Possible.
The ETC said, however, that
prospects are bright for lower
coffee prices barring excessive
crop damage and provided sup
ply and demand are permitted
freely to run their course"

of the complexities of the coffee
market" Congress should act

This step by the Acc, along with
legislation pending in Congress -
should it be enacted-would pave
the way for the private utilities to
corner the huge power potential of
the atomic age which has been de-
veloped thus far by the federal gov
eminent and at an expense of an
estimated $14 billion dollars to the
taxpaying public.
To the people of the Pacific
Northwest it would mean the fore
closure of participation in the
benefits of this immense new source
of extremely low cost power; a
continuation of traditional high
power rates imposed by the private
utilities; and the placing in the
hands of eastern financial interests
the whole future of industrial de-
velopment of the region.
That private power getting the go
ahead in the northwest is not an iso-

The Atomic Energy Commission uses from

Instead of building its own atomic power
plant the administration is contracting for
electricity needed by Acc from private utili-
ties-at rates far above those it would have

. And it is substituting the power companies
in building the atomic power plants. Through
these subsidies, the taxpayers will continue to

Atomic Energy Act, therefore, fits into its

Bills to turn the peacetime benefits OF atom

Congress, and have the administration APP
prevail They are H.R 1862 by Rep. Cole u
N. " and S. 1923 by Sen. Hickenlooper IN
Iowa..
Most of the public attention is being oil
rected to the bills provisions for freer eX-
change of atomic information with other coun-
tries. But this obscures the extremely I'M
portant and little-understood question OF
whether the peaceful uses of this publicly
owned resource should be turned over to
few private companies for monopolistic prof
iteering.
Electric power from atomic energy is the
obvious and immediate big prize involved
in the peacetime uses of the atom. Despite
the widespread misunderstanding of the is
sue, the real question is not atomic policy
but power policy.
The present Atomic Energy Act permits
the government to own and operate COM
mercial-sized atomic plants for generating
electricity Electricity produced by such
plant could be sold in accordance with long
established legal principles as public agen-
cies, co-operatives, and private utilities.

HUNGRY HORSE DAM
STARTS FLOOD CONTROL

Hungry Horse Dam on the Flathead
Rivers South Fork, has started its
first work for season flood control,
according to R. H. Wood, Kalispell,
Montana division manager for the
Bonneville Power Administration.
He said the Hungry Horse reser-
voir was lowered to its minimum for
the season Wednesday of last week,
and the Hungry Horse power plant
will be used only when necessary to
supply load.
Wood said storage space provided
by recent outflow from the reservoir
will permit the storage of 100000
acre feet of water in the reservoir
for future use, and at the same time
will provide flood control measure
for down stream on the Flathead and
Columbia Rivers.
Crest of the dam, Wood said, is at
an elevation of 1850 feet and the
water has been lowered to an eleva-
ton at 3,46385 feet, which is 96.15
feet from the top. The water which is
now flowing into the Hungry Horse
reservoir is from the Flathead River
South Fork drainage.
Although water has been rising in
the main Flathead River from it's
North and Middle Forks, it is still
below flood stage at the Columbia
Falls measuring station. KALI

lowed to become the private preserve
of monopoly interests. There is today
no effective competition in the cleo
trio power business, except where it
has been injected by co-ops or public
enterprises"
He criticized Acc for failing to
use by-product heat from its own
reactors to generate part of the
power it needs. "The drive to pre-
vent Acc from generating or
even planning to generate-part
of the tremendous amounts of pow
err it consumes is in part evidence
of the strength of established in
terests in the power business"
Electric companies have the high
est paid lobby in Washington, Voor-
his pointed out. One of its aims, he
said, is ''to make certain that atomic
energy does not become the means
of injecting effective competition
into production and distribution of
electric power"
Voorhis commended the bills pro-
visions which permit the President,
with proper safeguards, to give atom
ic information to U. S. allies and to
spread its peace-time benefits over
seas. Its substance should be passed
by Congress without a dissenting
VOTE" he said.
"The cardinal principle of U. S.
