Z Th Newi-Review, Roseburg, Northwest, Alaska Projects Approved In Signed Bill WASHINGTON I Appropria tions for Washington, Oregon and Alaskan projects totaling $77,477, 000 have been approved under the Public Works Appropriations Bill which was signed by President Eisenhower Monday. The bill also carried a separate appropriation for $30,668,000 for tho Bonneville l'ower Administra tion. The bill, which provides funds for water projects, carried an overall appropriation of $858,094, 323. That is about two per cent be low the President's request. The funds are for the current fiscal year which began July 1. (One of the original items in the bill, that of $425,000 for the dredg ing of a channel in the Columbia River between Vancouver, Wash, and The Dalles, Ore., was not in the final version signed by the President Monday. (However, the project has been resubmitted under the military construction appropriations bill which was approved by the House last Friday and returned to the Senate for action. Its passage in the upper chamber seems assured as the ben ale nad approved the measure earlier.) The projects In the final version of the public works appropriation bill included: Construction Oregon Amazon Creek $446, 000; Chetco River $200,000; Col umbia River at mouth $1,150,000; Cougar Reservoir $6,570,000; Hills creeK Keservoir 54,uo,uuo; muu- House Approves Bill Providing FBI Files Look WASHINGTON (fl The House passed an administration bill Tuesday spelling out procedures under which defendants can look at FBI files. It is aimed to pre vent indiscriminate rummaging in the files. The vote was 351-lf. The House acted after beating down, by a 161-55 standing vote, a Democratic attempt to substitute a revised bill similar to one passed by the Senate Monday night. Differences between the House and Senate-passed measures are now expected to be ironed out in House-Senate conference. The Justice Department came nut against the Senate bill is too weak to do any good. The bill approved by the House was one sponsored by Rep. Keat ing (R-NY). Voting for the bill were 185 Democrats and 166 Republicans. Against it were 17 Democrats among them Anderson of Mont., and Porter of Ore. Acting Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers said the Senate measure "contains such serious defects that it contributes little, if any thing, to meet the legislative need" caused by the Supreme I'ourt's Jencks case decision last iune. Rogers set out his views in a letter to Rep. Keating (R-NY) who made it public as the House began debate on the Senate mea sure. Keating is sponsor of a bill more in line with the administra tion's desires. The move for the legislation de veloped from a Supreme Court ruling that defendants in some in stances have a right to look at government files. Lower courts have been interpreting the ruling differently and in some cases very broadly. Both the Keating bill and the Senate measure are said by their supporters to protect FBI files from indiscriminate rummaging expeditions.

Decision Pends In Teamsters Board's Action LOS ANGELES Ufi Two days of heated discussion may produce a decision bv Teamster leaders to day that could determine the fu ture of the big union s relationship to the AFL-CIO. Being threshed out by the Team ster executive board in a secret meeting is the union's answer to charges by the AKL-ciu ttmcai Practices Committee that the un ion is dominated by corrupt in fluences. Key figure in the executive hoard sessions was James R. Hof- fa, Midwest boss of the Teamsters and the odds-on choice to be the next president of the union. The Ethical Practices Committee in cluded charges against Hoffa Tuesday in its report on the al legedly Improper teamster activ ities. Refute To Talk Hoffa and retiring President Dave Beck came out of Tuesday's session refusing to divulge any in formation about the course of the discussions, during which loud and angry voices were heard by re porters waiting outside. Both men showed little concern for the new action by the Ethical Practices Committee. The attitude of the entire board, for that mat ter, was aptly summed up by Thomas L. Hickey, a vice presi dent from New York. "What's another charge, more or less'.'" shrugged Hickey., Al though he is opposing Hoffa for the Teamster presidency, Hickey said he thought the Ethical Prac tices Committee action would have no effect on the race. The answer reached by the board will be presented to the Ethical Practices Committee in Washington at a hearing next Thursday and Fridav. On Sept. 24 25 the AFL-CIO Executive Coun cil is scheduled to decide whether the Teamsters have purged them selves of the corruption charges or are to be ousted from the merged labor movement.

WE PICK UP Navy Cancels Visit French Riviera Port WASHINGTON, The Navy has canceled plans for ships of the 6th Fleet to visit French Riv iera port. It has ordered the fleet to remain at sea in the Mediter ranean. There was no explanation for the change in plans. The fleet's whereabouts in the Mediterranean was kept a secret. The fleet started exercises in the Mediterranean Aug. 17 and the major phases of the maneu vers were to nave oeen complet ed last Monday. In response to questions Tues day night, the Navy said only that units of the fleet were on a train ing mission preparing for North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) exercises. Those exer cises are not scheduled to start until late September. Officials here privately discount ed the likelihood that the fleet would be kept at sea because scv eral Russian warships were re ported entering the Mediterran ean at Gibraltar. Some expressed the opinion that perhaps Vice Aim. tnaries k. Brown, the fleet commander, wanted to keep his 60-ship force mobile in event international de velopments, particularly in the Middle East, brought new orders from Washington. Asian Flu Vaccine Released For Use WASHINGTON I Release of 562,610 more doses of Asian flu vaccine all for civilian use was announced Wednesday by the Pub lic Health Service.

It was explained this meant it was for civilian use. From Surgeon General Lcroy E. Burney there was word that a larger-than-expectcd amount of the vaccine may be available by the first of the year. Governor Names Water Resources Board Members Chances of former State Rep. John Amachcr of Winchester being named to the State Water Resourc es Board were wiped out today with the announcement by Gov. Robert Holmes that he had named men from Corvallis and 1'rineville. The Douglas County Water Re sources Advisory Committee had made a strong bid to have Ama chcr named to the board. The com mittee contended this area should have a representative on the board since it had been blazing the trail in community water resource work. Gov. Holmes, however, selected LaSelle Coles of Prineville and Ben Little of Corvallis to replace Wayne E. Phillips of Baker and Fred Merrvficld of Corvallis. The terms of the last two men expire today. Coles is manager of the Ochoco irrigation District and a first vice president of the National Reclama tion Assn.

ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL 27 by 44 Inch 4 1A THROW RUGS 0.H7 Sbt n 0.1 It llriM modern ,rv-:;;v J'l I t oil C Miss Ann Ferguson Delights Home Folks In Tuesday Concert By LEROY INMAN Ann Ferguson, talent show win ner and star of Douglas High School musicals, left little doubt in the minds of bomef oik 'that she's ready for broader fields in the entertainment world. Singing a farewell concert to some 300 enthusiastic friends and admirers, the attractive 18-year-old Ann held the undivided atten tion of the audience which nearly filled the Winston-Dillard Metho dist Church Tuesday night and who contributed generously toward the young singer's hopes for a career. Miss Ferguson leaves Friday for Los Angeles to audition with the Walter Schumann singers and Lo receive additional training beyonj the scope possible for her in the Roseburg area. Mature Program Her program Tuesday mght was a mature one, and she handled it maturely. She has a sweet, melod ic singing voice. Her enuniciation is clear and her stage presence is good. Her youthful charm and quiet dignity should place her in good stead as an entertainer. She showed slight tendency toward nervousness in her opening selec tions, (although this did not affect the quality of her voice), but she was .completely at ease singing the more familiar light opera and operetic airs in the concluding por tion of her program. Her compo sure and confidence should im prove with experience. Opening in a more serious vein, Miss Ferguson demonstrated her ability toward diversification of mood in her renditions of "Ave Maria," "The Enchanted Hour" and "The Lord's Prayer." Her skill in handling the more difficult roles was seen in her singing of "Un Bel Di," from Puccini's "Ma dam Butterfly." This was followed by the spiritual "Sometimes 1 Feel Like a Motherless Child:" Rogers' "At Parting" and Gersh win's "Summertime." Musical Favorites The concluding portion of her program consisted of familiar President May Veto Two Pay Boost Measures ' WASHINGTON m-Tvo bills to boost pay of l'i million federal employes by about 850 million dol lars a year were on their way to day to President Eisenhower and what appeared to be certain ve toes. Republican leaders told the Sen ate just before the bills were pass ed late yesterday they were cer tain the measures never would be come law. The President has 10 davs to act on them, and Congress is ex pected to be out of town bv that time. Thus, he could pocket vetj them. One of the bills would raise pav of 518,000 workers by $546 each year ai an estimated cost of 317 million dollars. This bill passed 69-17. The other, passed 64,22, would boost salaries of a million classi fied civil service, congressional and judicial employes by 11 per cent a year. This would cost about 532 million dollars annually. Negro Parents Receive Threatening Calls NASHVtl l.E Tsnn in Pr. enls of a Negro child who regis tered for the first grade at a for merly .ui-wtiiie school told police last night they had received warn ings to take the child nut nf Iho school.

The missing mater ial was valued at approximately $50 with each of the slabs weigh ing about 100 pounds. w I tunes from musicals put on at Douglas High and sung by Miss (Ferguson in leading roles.

PrAcifiont k0na FintfArc Crossed On Flu exposure WASHINGTON lP President Eisenhower appears to have weath ered safely two possible exposures to Asian flu. But he still has to keep his fin gers crossed awhile against the possibility of contracting the dis ease. Seven days now have passed since the President came in con tact 'with two persons one a member of his staff, the other a photographer who later devel oped mild cases of what has been diagnosed tentatively as Asian flu. Dr. Yates Trotter of the U. S Public Health Service has said the usual incubation period for that type of flu is one to three days, but that development of illness may take as long as seven days after exposure in exceptional Larger Amounts Of Flu Vaccine May Be Ready WASHINGTON LP Surgeon General Leroy E. Burney said to day a larger-than-cxpected amount of Asian flu vaccine may be avail able bv the first of the year. The Public Health Service chief said manufacturers now expect to produce between 80 million and 85 million doses of the vaccine by Jan. 1. The original goal an nounced earlier was 60 million doses by Feb. 1. Burney gave the new figures in an interview in connection with a meeting of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officers of the United States. The group open ed a two-day conference yester day to map plans for combatting possible large-scale outbreaks of the flu this fall or winter.

Soviet rejection of the Western plan was clear enough in a blast released against it Tuesday by Valerian Zorin, Moscow's delegate to the disarmament talks. Some Western diplomats expect the Russians now to walk out. But they are going ahead with plans to lay their complete package dis armament plan before the five-nation subcommittee of the U.N. Dis armament Commission next week. But Zorin put the Russian rejec tion of the Western plan for a two year suspension of atomic tests before the subcommittee Wednes day in even Dlainer words. He said: "We do not tegard this proposal as forming a basis for agree ment." The Western proposal submitted Aug. 18 called for a two-stage moratorium on nuclear tests along with definite measures for con ventional disarmament and limit ation of nuclear weapons production.
