They miv enroll at the Hammarskjold Gets Co Ahead UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. WV Backed by a unanimous Security Council vote, U.N. Secretary Gen eral Dag Hammarskjold today be gan the second phase of his canv paign to ease Middle East tension. He was ready to assist Israel and her Arab neighbors in keep ing up the momentum toward peace which he reported last month at the end of his special mission to the Middle East. The 11-natlon council gave him the go-ahead for a further effort after a week of debate on a Brit ish proposal which originally left the way open for broad peace ne gotiations. However, tne resolution was drastically watered down to meet Arab and Soviet objections. In the end, it limited the secre tary general to continuing his "good offices" with Israel and the Arabs in an effort to obtain full compliance with the armistice agreements of 1949. How he would do this was left up to him. Highway Jobs Contracted In Douglas Co. Monday (Continued from Page One) i mile of embankment on High way 227, about 18 miles east of Canyonville. J. C.

Officers are elected and meet once a week to plan the pro grams. Some special events are also scheduled for the older boys, too. An overnight campout u among these if parents will coop erate and help provide supervision for the event, Hamilton said. Old er boys will also be allowed to complete YMCA acquatic tests to qualify (or livesaving instruction. They will also be able to' get in struction - in speed swimming if they wish. Gymnasium activities will in clude training in basketball and other indoor sports. Track events will prepare youngsters for track and field competition. The boys in both age groups will also receive the National YMCA Athletic Achievement Test. In addition, the younger boys will receive beginners' training in swimming and any advanced help they should need. Talks and discussions with both boys will bo conducted on subjects of citizenship and character train ing. They will be supplemented each week by special movie pro grams having to do with the sub jects. Some of the subjects arc "cheating," getting along with friends and neighbors, taking care of pets, conservation, being' friend ly, living with the family, borrow ing and sharing. Some of the special events which youth will take part in are a fishing trip and trips through local indus tries with the aid of parents who help with transportation. An individual record is kept of the boys showing in indoor con tests. The boys are competing against themselves to compile scores in these tests. Similar rec ords are kept in swimming. Suit able recognition and awards are given at a ceremony at the end oi the summer. Schools Denied Portion Of County 0 fir C Funds (Continued from Page One) ed to meet critical needs, many prompted by big timber sales be ing scheduled. (The county dove tails much of its work with Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service projects to secure the maximum expediency for log hauling as well as public travel.) One such critical area he noted is the Loon Lake Road over tromendous volumes of logs are expected to be carried because of future sales. He said some of the road has been improved, but about six or seven miles have to be re built. "We are rebuilding as fast as possible," he said. Another is a stretch of road about six miles long along Cow Creek between Riddle and Doe Creek. The Bureau "of Land Man agement expects to open up big quantities of timber there, Hill said. (He explained this may be fi nanced by the BLM. The O&C Counties roads committee has rec ommended the BLM accept it as an access road and rebuild it. "If this is done, it will save us be tween $300,000 and $500,000," he said.) Another big road job for the county is some 14 miles to the market from the upper Smilh Riv or area. Hill said the BLM had taken over approximately 10 miles of bad road in rough country there and rebuilt it at the federal gov ernment's expense to a "high class" road. This left the 14 miles which is now under construction by the countv. Hill said the 1956-57 budget for roads was designed to program building in areas "most critical" in preparation for the heavy sales of timber projected this coming year.

Burglary Solved; Juveniles Held By Authorities One burglary involving juveniles was solved by sheriffs deputies Monday and another was being in vestigated according to Sheriff Ira C. Byrd. Petitions have been filed to re mand three teenagers to juvenile court after their arrest Monday on charges of burglary not in a dwelling. One 16-year-old is from Mantcca, Calif,, another from Sutherlin and a 15-year-old is from Sutherlin also. The three allegedly broke into a barn near Umpqua belonging to Herbert Lee Saturday. Their car had apparently broken down and they needed gasoline. They found it in the barn and ingeniously low ered three five-gallon cans of the fluid 25 feet from a window in the barn. Bad luck followed, however, and eventually led to their arrest. Aft er putting gasoline in the car. the car broke down. It was still on the road when sheriff's deputies were called to investigate. The car was traced and the boys were ar rested. Deputies were still investigating another burglary. The Wilbur Lumber Co. reported between 15 and 20 bottles of soda pop were stolen from a lunch shack on the company property. The burglary occurred sometime over the w?e': end when someone broke the lock on the door to gain entry. The cul prits apparently tried to break open the soda pop machine, but failed. They settled for the bottles of pop.

Libby Canneries Halted By Strike SAN FRANCISCO (Fl A strike over a pension plan tied up five California canneries of the Libby, McNeill Sc Libby Co. Tuesday for the second day with no settlement in sight. i The canneries, at Sacramento, Nimbus, Fridlcy, Selma and Sun nyvale, employ at this time of year about 1,500 workers. At peak i seasons tho company employs some 6.500 workers in California and around 10,000 on the West Coast. Threatened by the strike are five Libby plants in Washington, at Grandview, Kent, Ml. Vernon, Walla Walla and Yakima. Tho Libby plant at Portland, Ore. 1 has a contract with another union. The union calling the strike is the Cannery Workers Union, an af filiate of the Teamsters Union. George E. McDearmid, vice president of Libby's fruit division, said the real and only issue "is the acceptance of the Teamsters Union pensin plan or else." The union Monday rejected a Libby wage offer. McDearmid said Libby's own pension plan is paid for entirely ny the company and "is one of the best in the food industry." Rep.

Hep. Ellsworth (R-Ore) said Monday. Ellsworth reported that Chair man Anthony jr. Arpaia had agreed to take under considera tion a request that enforcement of the order be delayed until July 15 or, at least, July 1. However, Arpaia turned down Ellsworth's request that Dublic hearings on the order be held in the Pacific Northwest. Ellsworth said. Arpaia contends that an em ergency car shortage exists suf ficient to warrant the order. Affected by the ICC ruling would be lumber- operators who start a car of lumber toward the east and then arrange a sale while it is in transit. HURRY To Carter Tire's Big Sale!

STEPHENS Accused Robbers Thwarted In Boat Trip To Mexico PORT ANGELES I Two men arrested at Port Townsend Sunday night as they started a trip to Mexico in a 24-foot sailboat nave admitted two safecrackings and a robbery in the Tacoma area, Rob bert Zweifel, chief Clallam County deputy sheriff, said Monday. Zweifel said the two men, Gene William Montgomery, 23, of Ta coma and Norman Kenelleken, 24, of Seattle, admitted the crimes after officers interrogated them closely about $5,026 found on the boat. Montgomery and Kenelleken, both Stale Reformatory paroles, and a woman companion, Alcita Maxwell, 27, of Eatonville, were transferred Monday from the Clal lam County jail to Tacoma. They were held without charge. Zweifel said the two men had admitted obtaining the money in safe jobs at the B and I depart ment store and the SunnysidC Tavern, both in Tacoma, and in a robbery several years ago at a Puyallup gas station. In addition to the money, ar resting officers found a consider able quantity of ammunition on the boat. Zweifel said Kenneleken and Montgomery admitted under questioning that they had thrown revolvers overboard wnen omcers closed in on them. France, Germany Agree On Saar Valley Transfer LUXEMBOURG Gfl French Premier Guy Mollet and West German Chancellor Konrad Aden auer agreed early today on the procedure for transfer of the rich Saar valley back to Germany. Officials said the accord would permit speedy preparation of a treaty making the disputed border area a political part of West Ger many by Jan. 1. The agreement includes provi sions for (1) a three-year transi tion period for termination of the customs and economic union be tween France and the Saar, (2) continued French rights to some coal production in the region and (3) building an international canal linking the Moselle and Rhine rivers. France and West Germany have long sought to eliminate the Saar as a major point of friction in their relations. The German speaking industrial sector sup plies much of the coal to process the iron from France s great Lor raine mines nearby. Express Agency Given Permit To Raise Rates SALEM OB Public Utilities Commissioner - Charles H. Heltzel granted Railway Express Agency permission Tuesday to increase its Oregon rates 7 per cent.

For the first time anywhere, ac cording to county sanitarian I r v Reierson, the log-pond mosquitoes were strafed from the air last weekend. Covered were some 310 acres of pond area at four mills in central Douglas County. These are the apparent results: (1) It took only 1 hour and 10 min utes to complete the job; (2) the job was done more cheaply; (3) complete coverage was maae. The work was done by Bud Dar ling, a Troutdale agricultural aeri al duster. He used a light mono plane for the job. The four ponds hit were the big Roseburg Lumber Co. pond at Dix on ville; the main Roseburg Lum ber pond at Dillard; Evans Pro ducts at Winchester; and Associ ated Plywood south of Roseburg. The Dixonville pond alone covers lzo acres. Reierson estimated it would have taken two weeks by spray-equipped jeep to complete the same job. And there may have been less complete coverage because of the limited capabilities of the jeep equipment. The cost to the county, Reier son said, was just $203, less than what it would have cost for a two week patrol of the four ponds by jeep. The mills chipped in $5 an acre tor the ponds covered. At Roseburg Lumber's Dillard pond, swarms of mosquitoes spawned at water's edge near the company's huge cold decks appar ently were wiped out. Health de partment studies a couple of days after the spray was applied rould turn up neither adults nor larvae. The poison used was deildrin, which is both an adulticide and larvicide. Another Session Scheduled In Oil Refinery Dispute SEATTLE 141 Another session between management and union representatives was scheduled by Federal Mediator William Hosie Tuesday as he sought an end to t 10-week strike at the Shell Oil Co.'i Anacortes refinery. The long strike resulted from a union demand for pay increases. At Anacortes, meanwhile, the company offered $5,000 for infor mation leading to the conviction of persons involved in a rock throwing incident which cost the eye of a non-striking Shell em ploye. Allen Noyes, 32, of Sedro Wool ley was blinded in one eye May 28 when a rock crashed through the windshield of his car as he drove near Burlington. In addition to losing an eye Noyes suffered severe facial lac- erations and facial bone fractures. Noyes went out on strike with I other members of the OCAW 10 weeks but later returned to work. J(o)95 Winston Folks Approve Budget In Light Vote Winston residents have approv ed their city budget for 1956-57. A light voter turnout Wednes day favored a special levy of $24, 257 by a count of 41-6. The levy will balance the total budget of $57,609. City 'Recorder H. J. Kleve call ed the vote a "very small one." He said be thought it came be cause "people were satisfied the budget' was sensible and reason able." The budget totals $3,299 less than the current budget. The newly-approved levy is $1,006 less than this year's. The millage decrease will be around 3V4 or 4 mills, Kleve said. He estimated earlier the new millage would be 29.6. Winston has no tax base as yet, due to its recent incorporation. Re corder Kleve says it probably will have a base next year. Senate Group Gives Seaton Quick Approval WASHINGTON I The Sen ate Interior Committee Tuesday unanimously recommended con firmation of Fred A. Seaton as secretary of the interior. The action came after Seaton, an assistant to President Eisenhower and former Nebraska senator, I answered questions about public power, natural resources and oth er matters for an hour and a half. Seaton said he supports the Ei senhower "partnership policy" on development of water power and favors immediate admission of Alaska to statehood. He passed over some questinns frim Demo crats as subjects he must study, Much of the questioning cen tered about construction of the Hells Canyon Dam. A license has been issued for building three low power dams on this site by the private Idaho Power Co. Sens. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo), Neu berger (D-Ore) and other Western Democrats predicted that a bill directing a federal multi-purpose high dam will get through Con gress. Seaton said that as secretary of tne interior ne certainly would abide by any laws enacted by the Congress. He said he would try to per suade President Eisenhower to fa vor immediate admission of Alas ka as a state, along with Hawaii, if the president opposes Alaska.

Dayton Countryman conceded victory to Hickenlooper shortly after midnight with the words: "The farmers have shown that they are happy." R. M. (Spike) Wilcox, a former member of the Federal Reserve Board, won the Democratic nomi nation to oppose Hickenlooper in the fall. Iowa has no presiden tial preference voting. . In New York, supporters of Gov. Averell Harriman could count on virtually all the state's big Demo cratic delegation to the convention. Backers of Stevenson were con tending for only 10 of 86 dele gate seats being filled. The Democratic State Commit tee will choose 24 half-vote at large delegates later for a total of 98 convention votes, virtually all expected to be in Harriman's corner. The governor describes himself as "not an active" can didate. President Eisenhower was as sured of no-contest victories in California, New York and South Dakota. He faced token opposition only in Montana where perennial candidate Lar Daly of Chicago challenged him. Eisenhower long ago cornered more than enough delegates for renomination. Kefauver stood to pick up 16 Democratic convention votes in Montana and eight in South Da kota. He was unopposed in either contest, although write-ins were permitted in Montana.
