Profit From Purchase,
Resale Of Building Told
WASHINGTON I a former
board member of tbe old AFL
United Auto Workers Union testi
fied Friday the union sold its .Mil
waukee headquarters building for
S80.000 in 1955 only to see it re
sold a few weeks later tor Slia,
000. Morris Weintraub, now a South
Newport, Ky., attorney, said the
union sale was to the Badger
Realty Co., Milwaukee, in which
he said the union's secretary
treasurer, Anthony Doria, once
had an interest.
Testifying before the Senate
Weintraub said that as a board
member he never got an expla
nation of the sale, satisfactory to
him.
The senators got into the story
of the building sale in an incident
al way while digging for further
information on the relations New
York labor racketeer Johnny Dio
had with the AFL-UAW, which
since has become the Allied In
dustrial Workers Union.
Dio himself took the Fifth
Amendment 140 times Thursday
in refusing to discuss it.
Weintraub, who said he had led
a fight to oust Dio from the UAW,
said Dio demanded S10.000 as his
price for quitting but was actually
given S16.000.
Weintraub said he felt it was

One of the climbers trapped on

He said rescuers also had lost

The climber who was reported
dead by Balmer was the member
of the group who was left tied to
a rock and abandoned by his fel

Balmer reported. "He waved to

Mountain Friday morning alter

"There is a very heavy storm
raging around the Eiger and it
has lessened their chances for
survival," a police official said.
"But the men are still picking
their way forward in the face of
it.
"We can only hope that the
wind will drop as mysteriously as
it arose."
A grueling 2,500 feet above
them lies the summit, safety and
a chance to come down by an

death lies 3,000 feet almost
straight below.
It is considered impossible to
descend the overhanging face of
the towering mountain in the
Bernese Alps of central Switzer
land. The north wall has been
scaled only about 20 times and
has claimed a number of lives.
The four climbers, believed to
be Germans and Italians, had been
almost motionless on the wall
since Monday. But as bright sun
shine followed a mild night they
began what may be a final at
tempt to save themselves.
The razor-thin ledges are so dif
ficult that guides could do little
to help the men even if they
climbed up to them.
A police official said "if they
go very carefully and watch
their step they may make it by
tomorrow night. Everyone is
praying that the weather will
hold and that they are still strong
enough to make the climb."
The four are believed to be
short of supplies and suffering
from the deadly night cold of the
mountain.

In each report, it was stated that

The second report, from a Grants

Hurricane Bertha
Heads For Coast
NEW ORLEANS I Tropical
storm Bertha ballooned into a full-
fledged hurricane Friday and
aimed its deadly punch at the
west Louisiana-upper Texas coasts
along a 125-mile front.
The Weather Bureau said the
hurricane was traveling roughly
in the same path as its killer pre
decessor Audrey six weeks ago,
about 140 miles southeast of Lake
Charles, La.
The storm's highest winds were
estimated at 75 miles per hour
within about 30 miles of the cen
ter with gales flaring out 100
miles from the center.
Bertha was expected to contin
ue a slow trek between west and
northwest at 10 to 12 miles per
hour tor I lie next 12 hours.
A Weather Bureau advisory
warned that tides would reach
five to six feet between Galveston
and Sabine, Tex., located on the
Louisiana border. Tides of three
to five feet were expected along
the central Louisiana coast.
Tides in the area normally are
about one foot.
The area threatened by the hur
ricane includes the strip of Louis-

Permission Gets
Boost, Says Roelle
Eugene Roelle, engineer for Tele-
service Co., which is striving to
secure permission to set up a trans
lator television station in Rose
burg, says the likelihood of receiv
ing permission had received a boost
this week.
A controversial request for an
amendment to present commission
regulations was overruled by the
Federal Communications Commis
sion. The proposed amendment, if
adopted, would have made it impos
sible for a translator to be set up
in a community which has a regu
larly operating television station
Those in favor of adoption of
the amendment contended that es
tablishment of such translators
made operation of established sta
tions "economically unfeasible.'
KPIC in Roseburg was one of those
stations calling for adoption of the
amendment.
Teleservice also filed a brief op
posing the choice. It and others
contended translators were not
competitive.
The FCC overruled the blanket
amendment and stated that all re
quests to establish translators
would be studied on individual mer
it. A ruling in favor of the amend
ment would have put a stop to any
plans for a translator in Roseburg.

Annexation Would
Up Population
By 1,200 People
The number of people in the area
proposed for annexation in East
Roseburg has been estimated at
1,200.
City Manager George Farrell
said that "we could assume 1,200
people" from estimates made by
Oregon Water Corp.1 and California
Oregon Power Co.
The power company told the city
that there are 389 services, includ
ing commercial in the area. Of
that, 355 are "assumed" to be resi
dential hook-ins. The company uses
a figure of 3.8 persons per family
in estimating population. That re
sults in a Copco estimate of 1,349
people.
The water company, with 300 do
mestic services, uses an average
of 3.6 persons per family, coming
up with 1,080 people. The city used
3.7, figuring 1,110 based on the wa
ter company services.
The estimate of 1.200 was a com-
promise between the water and
power companies estimates.
Voters in the area will decide
Aug. 22 whether to come into the
city. If the annexation proposal is
accepted, the city will vote on the
matter probably in September.
If the annexation is approved, it
would boost the population of the
city to around 14,200.

Einar Albert Beck Jr., 20. was
charged with arson by Sutherlin

Beck, the chief said, apparently
set the fires about 2:30 a.m. each
