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.

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 lows so they could continue their fight for life. Rescueri had assumed he was Injured or too exhausted to con tinue and was slowing down his comrades.

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. ... . . y DR. JOHN N.

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- Teleserv.ce Co. 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. 40 Americans Accept Invite To Visit China By STERLING SLAPPEY MOSCOW wi About 40 Ameri can delegates to the Conimunist sponsored World Youth Festival Friday accepted an invitation to visit Red China, and at least one appeared to be on the verge of defecting to the Soviet Union. .

Anyone is welcome to use those facilities without charge, he states. The park, bolh picnic grounds and campgrounds, is d r a w i n g large weekend crowds, but attend ance during the week is light.
