Jury Selection Continues In Murder Trial McMINNVILLK, Ore. m Rival attorneys set out Friday to com plete selection fal a jury to try trim Mrs. Marjorie Smith, 34, on the charge she plotted the dyna mite killing of her husband. She it accused of inducing a 45-year-old handyman, Victor Laur ence Wolf, to wire the dynamite to the car of attorney Oliver Ker mit Smith, who was killed when he turned on the ignition of his car in Portland last April. Wolf has confessed that he did this because, he said, the woman promised to go away with him to Alaska after collecting the $21,000 insurance on Smith's life. It ii a first - degree murder charge Mrs. Smith faces, and the state told prospective jurors Thurs day Ihe death penalty will be sought. TwpIv? jurors were selected ten tatively on the opening day but both the state and defense have challenges they may yet exercise. Judge Arlie G. Walker said he would not start taking evidence un- til Monday. The defense has made two things clear: 1. Wolf's story will be challenged as that of a deluded man who only "drpamed" that Mrs. Smith want ed her husband dead. 2. The defense believes Portland newspapers made a fair trial im possible in Portland, and may even nave made it doubtful here in this farming community, 40 miles from Portland. All the principals lived in Portland, where the slaying also occurred. The trial was transferred from Portland on motion of the defense, and defense atty. Bruce Spaulding questioned prospective jurors re peatedly on whether they had read Portland newspaper accounts of the case, and what their feelings were about the newspapers. A number of jurors said they had read of the rase there, for Ihe two Portland Newspaners circulate heavily in this area. A number of them were dis missed. All told 27 of the 39 pros peetive jurors nuestioned Thursday were dismissed. When one prospective juror said she had no particular feelings bout the Portland newspapers, Spaulding asserted, "I do.'

Agreement 'on the new contract was announced jointly Thursday by the union and shipowners. Un ion officials termed the pact "gen erous" and predicted it would be approved by the union member ship. Details were not announced but U was reported the pact contains a no strike clause. Union organizer Ed Turner said the agreement calls for $25 month ly pay boosts and increases in overtime ranging from $1.71 to $2.65 an hour. Another provision calls for a 1-million dollar em ployer contribution to establish a welfare fund.

Water Resources Report Formal Stand To Be Taken By National Reclamationists Production Dependant Upon Ability To Purchase (Continued from Page One) Oregon Trucker Killed When Brakes Give Way PH INCETON, B.C. An Orcgnn trucker was killed and his relief driver was injured Thursday when their heavy semi-trailer truck plunged off the Hope-Princeton highway when the air brakes failed. Dead is Richard Lewis, Clacka mas, Ore., who was asleep in the bunk of the cab when the truck nlunued over a small embankment and he was hurled against the window. Driver Viriiil Hawkins, Brush Prairie, Wash., suffered minor in juries and is in good condition in Princeton Hospital. I Another Truck's Brakes Give Way K1TTANNING. Pa. WT-Truck-driver Charles Defrain plucky, lucky and scared stayed with his runaway rig as it careened down a steep hill, smashing 10 autos and injuring three persons before crashing to a halt. The brakes on the steel-laden trurk gave way about one third of the way down Route 422 yester day. The 42-year-old Williamsport, Pa., driver told police later: "All I did was push on the brake, blow the horn and pray." Making a nearlv 90-degree turn at the foot of the hill, the speeding truck sideswiped 10 autos before it slopped on a main street of this western Pennsylvania town. Leak ing gasoline ignited, but firemen quickly put out the blaze in the truck and the last car it hit. Defrain was not injured. No charges were filed. LINCOLN, Neb. I A formal stand on phases of the Hoover and Power ' report, released last June, is expected to come out of next week's tuh annual conven tion here of the National Recla mation Assn, The 3-day convention opens Mon day with from 700 to 900 persons from 17 Western stales expected to attend. Directors of the asso ciation, one from each of the 17 states, were to meet Friday in the first of several pre-convention sessions. The controversial Hoover Com mission report has been under study by the association's, water policy committee, association pres ident C. Petrus Peterson of Lincoln said. The committee meets again Sat urday for further work on a report reflecting suggested association re action to the Hoover, report. The report shapes up as the nearest thing to a "sharp issue" confront ing the convention, Peterson said. The Hoover Commission report, adopted by a split vote of com mission members, called for sev eral restrictions on federal de velopment of the nation's water resources. Among other things, it recommended that Congress ban government construction of steam power plants and forbid the build ing of federal power lines where private utilities can provide transmission. It won t be the first time Hoover Commission recommenda tions have drawn association scrutiny. The first Hoover Com mission six years ago recommend ed that dambuilding and other ci vilian functions of the Army's Corps of Engineers be merged in to the Interior Department's Rec lamation Bureau. The association for several years went on record annually opposing this recom mendation. At last year's convention at Portland, Ore., a resolution was proposed from the floor endorsing (the Eisenhower administration's i "partnership" policy of water and i power development. A parliamen tary maneuver tabled the resolu- tion before debate was hardly started.

He said he thought that while the President is on the road to recovery, it would be "en tirely inappropriate" for him to discuss the President's future po litical role. He said this was the way the entire Cabinet felt and they thought it was their job now to aive full- lime to the operation of the government.

It agrees that the problems of business and labor concide. "We believe free enterprise is i best, but we oppose iiiunupui... he stated.

He quoted Sec. of Defense Wil son who stated that if Americans' wages had been frozen 50 years ago, only the few could afford re frigerators today. He warned against communism. He said that just because the Rus sians are smiling they have not oiven no world conquest ideas. He I stated the best antidote to com I munsim is free labor.

Portland Safeway Store Robbed Thursday Night PORTLAND A Safeway store on the East ide was robbed Thursday night of about $1,000 by a bandit described as sloppily dressed. Walla Whitney, assistant man ager, said he was closing when the man entered the place, drew a gun and ordered him to "clean out the till." Whitney said he put "about $1,000 in a paper sack" and the man warned him not to leave the coun ter for a half hour. He said that after the man walked out he started for the telephone but the bandit was watching from a window and made a threatening gesture. According to Whitney the robber stayed out in front 15 minutes before disappear ing. Whitney then telephoned police who theorized that the bandit apparently had been waiting for an accomplice in a getaway car. Another Chapter Writers To Ship's Sinking At Sea LONDON iB The News Chron icle said Friday that the freighter Flving Enterprise, whose 1951 sinking added new chapter to sagas of the sea, carried a secret cargo of rare metal vital to U.S. atomic power research. "In six small steel boxes," the story reported, "she was carrying almost all the world supply of pure zirconium a 'silvery, steel-strong miracle metal for making atomic power plants." The account said the boxes of the metal were recovered by the Italian crew which salvaged much of the cargo in 1953 from the sunk en wreck off Falmouth Harbor. "Now that the United States and other countries are making large quantities of Uie metal, an Amer ican atomic scientist has been al lowed to let British colleagues know the story." the paper said. It did not identify the U.S. scien tist. The News Chronicle gave this account: "It was found in 1951 not only that zirconium could withstand very high temperature and did not corrode, hut also it did not ab sorb neutrons. "These are atomic particles which keep the chain reaction go ing in atomic piles. "There was no zirconium ore in the United States, so the Flying Enterprise went to Brazil to pick up a consignment of ore and take it to Germany the only country with t he chemical engineering plant to reduce the ore to pure metal. "It was on the return journey that the ship foundered." The story said the secret of the six steel boxes was so well kept that even Capt. Kurt Carlsen,.whn stuck heroically with his shin until it was sinking under him, did not ; know their contents. j Flight International Plans Strike Tonight NEW YORK The AFL Friday it will strike against United Air Lines at midnight Friday as scheduled and thai any effort by Unnted to fly would be possible onlv "bv use of scabs."
