Nasser Shouts Angry Warning At Interference (Continued From Page One) Undersecretary of Sate Herbert Hoover Jr., and other top State Department olficiais. Deputy undersecretary of State Robert Murphy flew to London from Washington Satuday to join British-French Talks on the seiz ure. ' Secretary Dulles, now in Lima, Peru, is due back in Washington Sundav. but ho discussed the sit uation with Hoover by telephone. Before leaving Washington, Murnhv told newsmen the United States is interested in the impact which the Suez seizure might have "on operation and mainten ance of the canal itself." In Paris Foreign Minister Christian Pincau told the French National Assembly his govern ment "refuses to accept" Nasser's decision to take over the Suez Canal from the French-controlled, largely British - owned company which has maintained it as an in ternational waterway for 87 years. In his speech in Cairo, Nasser declared Egypt was not interfer ing with canal traffic, but warned: "I strongly warn the im perialist countries that their in terference will causo obstruction of navigation in the canal. 1 there fore put all responsibility on Bri tain and France for any obstruc tion of navigation which may re sult." He rejected as an "insult" and an interference with Egyptian sovereignty British and French protests over nationalization of the canal. Traffic has been moving smoothly since Egypt seized the canal company offices, he said, and added: "We shall not interfere with navigation in the canal. On the contrary, we will offer all fa cilities." Nasser concentrated his attack on Britain and France, not men tioning the United Slates once. This was in contrast with his blasts last week which were di rected solely at the United States for withdrawing its offer to fi nancial support for building the $1,300,000,000 Aswan Dain. The withdrawal was believed to have prompted Nasser to nation alize the canal 'as a retaliation against the West. He said reven ues from the Canal would finance the dam. vaof frpfM t mot aim 6PE Or S'6SMA V- - Contributed 01 t Public Serrice by ROY O. YOUNG & SON Insurance 733 S. E. Cost Ave. ORchard 3-6671 History Making Social Security Measure Passed (Continued From Page One) million dollars a year to increase payments to persons on the public assistance rolls. This is designed to boost checks to the needy, aged, bund and a is abled by about $3 to $4 a month, and aid to individual dependent children about $2 a month. The bill would raise Social Se curity taxes 850 million dollars year starting Jan. 1, 1957, to fi nance the new benefits resulting from the lower retirement age for women and the disability pro gram. Both employer and employe would pay at the rate of 2Vt per cent on tne nrst s4,zuu or i n e worker's annual earnings, starting the first of next year. Presently each group pays 2 per cent on the first $4,200. Self-employed persons would pay at a 3 3-8 per cent rate on the same earnings Dase. The new disability payments will go to an estimated 340,000 persons in the first year of the program, with the first checks slated for next July. The payments are expected to average about $75 or $80 a month for those who meet strict Social Security coverage and medical re quirements, and to total almost 300 millions in the first year. The first chocks to women go ing on the Social Security rolls be tween age 62 and age 65 would -io out in December this year. About 800,000 women are expected to take advantage of the lowered retire ment age in the first year it is in force. This total would include 300, 000 working women, the same number of wives of retired hus bands, and 200,000 widows. Only the widows would receive at age 62 the same rate of Dav- ment to which they now are en titled at age 65. The working women would re ceive at 62 only 80 per cent of their age 65 rate, and wives 75 per cent. Their payments would be raised proportionately each month they postponed retirement alter reaching 62. They would re ceive the full scale at 65. Once they have elected earlier retire ment and the lower payment rate, however, that monthly rate would continue permanently. Other provisions would establish a new 65-million-dollar-a-year pro gram of grants to the states for medical care of persons on the public assistance programs, and permit a disabled child of a de ceased or retired worker to re ceive Social Security benefits in definitely so long as the disability occurred before the child was 18. At present, payments for such a child stop when he reaches 18.

Dillard District Rejects Bonds For New School A proposed $310,000 bond issue for construction of a new elemen tary school at Winston Friday was rejected by voters of the Dillard School District. The vote against the measure was 177-119. It carried in none of the three polling places. At Dillard School, however, the vote was 91-91. The proposal lost 58-13 at Lookingglass and 28-15 at Tenmile. A site already had been pur chased by the school district for the new school. It is at the west city limits of Winston. Stmt. William Bromley said de feat of the measure may have set back school plans in the district for a year. He said the school wouldn't have been ready by next fall, and a double-shift of elemen tary students would be necessary next fall even if the school had been approved. The district has three grade schools at Dillard, Tenmile and Lookingglass. Winston, with a pod ulation of more than 2.400, has no elementary school in the immed iate area. The school board, after canvas sing the ballots, appointed Mrs. Erwln Gubser, Winston, as the new school clerk. Congress Adjourns Amid Horseplay, Passes Bills (Continued From Page One) convene on Monday, Jan. T, bar ring an emergency. bumming up. Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Tcx- said Congress overrode "nar row partisanship and gave Pres ident Eisenhower most of what he asked. Senate Republican Leader Knowland of California pronounced the legislative record "fair to good" but he indicated strongly he felt a GOP-controlled Congress would have done better. Bills sent to Eisenhower just be fore adjournment included the So cial Security bill, the foreign aid bill of more than 3-i billions, an omnibus housing bill, a 7Vi-billion-dollar flood insurance measure, a billion rivers and harbors bill, and a $2,182,000,000 money bill mostly containing funds for the Atomic Energy Commission. The foreign aid hill falls well over one billion dollars short of what Eisenhower asked to bolster free world nations against com munism. It was the housing bill that for a time yesterday posed the main treat to atljournament on schedule. Hut this obstacle melted away last night when both House and Sen ate approved a compromise ham mered out by a conference group a while earlier.

ARTHUR SELBY Mrs. Naomi Gardner of Philo math, has veen selected by the Glide School Board to fill the po sition of secretary to the new school superintendent, Harry Har vie, replacing Mrs. Roy Becker who resigned on account of mov- ing to Melrose. Mrs. Gardner was resident of Glide for three years when her late husband was logging in tne area, &ne nas two daughters, Anne, eight-years - old and Susan, three-years-old and a son, George, six-years-old, Mrs. Gardner and family arrived Tues day and are visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Barclay un til she locates a suitable home before moving her furniture. Recuperating At Home William (Bill) Oleson, indus trial arts Instructor at Glide High School, is recuperating at his home while working as second loader for the George Logging Co. at Panther Creek.

The visitors were returning to their home from a French Designer Sticks To Short Skirt Collection - By NADEANE WALKER PARIS I A remarkably nandsomc, short-skirted collection with emphasis draped on the bust won enthusiastic applause for Jean Patou Saturday the third day of the Paris fashion openings. wearamuty is tne stamp of Patou clothes never eccentri city. Other dressmakers may reap the headlines while he reaps the sales. The clean-lined Patou clothes were a definite relief after rather too fussy drapes, bows and de tails in earlier shows. The little black dress is the star of the collection. Other Paris dress houses may be devoted to capes and hippiness. Patou apparently never heard of cither trend. His clothes are res olutely slim-hipped and the only things approaching a cape are a few round fur collars and big, gathered sleeves. No matter how attractive capes are, fashion writers have seen enough of them in follow-the-lcad-cr shows since Dior opened the season Thursday to be sick of the sight. Patou's new waistline is high, liny and handsome. There is a frequent double belt effect, with one belt at the waistline and the other just under the bust. Wide, sometimes draped or ruched belts are of self material, or satin ribbons wind the waist for a cor selet effect. Trimmed down; length barrel coats go over sleek suits, mostly with narrow sheath skirts, but some have wide, flat pleats. To keep company with the little black dress, there is the simple black floor-length sheath for ele gant evenings. Besides black, color favorites are all shades of purple, violet and lilac, deep red and winter white. Coats are big and full,-and double rows of buttons march down jacket fronts or skirt pleats. Heavy silk satins flaunt autumn tints in blurry print. There is lots of grey flannel. Aged Civil War Veteran Lapses Into Coma Today DULUTH. Minn.

Hanna Workers To Vote On Strike Authorization (Continued from Page One) An additional holiday also was ask ed to add to the six holidays in the present contract. The company's counter offer is an 18-cent wage increase over three years. In a memorandum to company employes, Hanna Gen. Manager Earl S.

Loan Insurance Legislation Voted In Housing Bill WASHINGTON Ifi Legislation to continue home loan insurance and other features of the govern ment's many-sided housing pro gram was approved by Congress Friday night. A Senate-House row over some terms of the measura threatened for a time to leave it stranded. But a conference committee, in six hours of tough bargaining, fashioned a compromise which then sailed through both cham bers by voice vote. Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala), defend ing the Datched UD measure in the Senate, said he and other Sen ate conferees had dona "the best we could if we were to have a housing bill at all." The bill provides authority for the Federal Housing Administra tion (FHA) to insure another three billion dollars of FHA mort gage loans during the coming year. It authorizes a two-year public housing construction program calling for 70,000 federally sub sidized low rent dwelling units. This is what President Eisenhow er asked. But Sen. Lehman ID NY) called the program "piti fully" small compared to the 1J5 000 units a year originally voted by the Senate. Included are provisions to al - low an unspecified number of the Diiblic housing units to be de signed especially for the aged, and to encourage private build ers, through FHA insured loans, to produce special housing for the elderly.

Four Poles Flee In Stolen Planes VIENNA, Austria IB Two planes, bearing four Polish anti Communists, landed In Austria Saturday after flying across Czechoslovakia on a twin dash from behind the Iron Curtain. The two flights were just a month after Polish workers staged their bloodily suppressed revolt at the city of Poznan. Two Polish air 'cadets landed their little training plane, which they had stolen from an airport near Warsaw, at Oberbergern. near Krems, after running out of fuel. Shortly afterward, Austrian police announced that two other Poles crashed their plane in a forest near Kirchberg Am Wech- sel near Neunkirch. One of the Poles was slightly injured.

Advance announcement of tim ber sales programs and provision of more opportunities for competi tion. 4. Increased salvage of dead and dying trees. 5. Improved timber inventories. 6. Increased development of new limber species. "The joint committee finds that although the three federal agen cies Forest Service, BLM and Indian Service are performing the same timber-management func tions in the same areas," the re port stated, "there are confusing differences in policy, method and procedure. There is duplication, overlapping and waste. 'Under these circumstances, the forest Droducts industry finds it difficult to cope with the problem of dealing with diuerem agencies administering the same resource. The existence of separate and in dependently managed agencies has led to three uncoordinated and in consistent forestry programs. The Forest Service managed by far the largest area of the fed eral timber domain. It is the most experienced of all the federal tim ber agencies, ft performs the bas ic forest research for all agencies l nf the federal government and is technically equipped to assume even greater responsibilities. , "The joint committee believes tlat this agCncy, by reason of expe rience, trained personnel and tech nical facilities is the logical choice to undertake the direction of a con solidated and integrated forestry program embracing all commer cial timberlands now under feder al jurisdiction." The committee recommended that the BLM and the Indian Bu - reau retain their other functions, but simply turn over timber func- tions to the Forest Service to achieve "optimum economic de- velopment of the region and the achievement of maximum sustain ed-yield production.'

Washington correspondent, said the suggestion was ottered in a report on federal timber sale oolicies ,on tederal based on hearings held last. No- vember in Oregon, Washington and Horn'ng said the idea is not new. various federal and private studies have been conducted to determine i "i wic imai. xv ycdis, iie lecaueu, feasibility of putting all forest ad ministration in one agency. But he said the failing in each of the studies was that It couldn't be determined where to put such an organization. Possibilities held out have been undor the Dept. of Interior, Dept. of Agriculture or a new department. The minority report of a task force of the Hoover Commission, he pointed out, several years ago recommended the establishment of such a new department. Herbert Hoover, head of the commission and former president of the Unit ed States, himself favored the "eKw department. Horning said, About five years ago, a federal interagency study committee was set to work on the problem, but was only able to present an anal ysis of advantages of all forest agencies being' put under either the Dept. of Interior or Dept. of Agriculture. Horning said one possible disad vantage of combining the federal forestry agencies might be this: A spirit of competition in adminis tration of forest lands might be broken. But he also explained that the BLM and Forest Service are be ginning to agree on methods of appraising timber. Tha T?nfal G.nn -AUi ..
