The 13 contempt citations were approved in a single 87-0 roll call vote. Sen. John L. McClellan (DArk), the Rackets Committee chairman, asked his colleagues either to back up the committee in these cases or disband it. Refused To Answer The contempt accusation against Hutcheson was based on bis re fusal to answer questions about hn financial dealings. He refused also to answer questions as to whether he misused union funds for his own benefit. Hutcheson challenged the com mittee's authority to ask such questions. He did not invoke the Fifth Amendment. Others cited included Tony Ac rardo, an alleged Chicago gang ster, and Pete Llcavoli. Detroit and Tucson, Aril., racketeer. Licavoli was cited for failure to respond to a subpoena. A citation against Ernest Mark High, publisher of the AFL Spot light, a New York labor news paper, was on similar ground.

But police said their investigation disproved his story. Herman insisted Frank, an ex convict like himself, did not torch himself, accidentally or otherwise. Bill Awaiting Action By House WASHINGTON (AP) The House faces a decision on what to do about a bill that would boost payments to some 12 million per sons now drawing Social Security mucins. The question before the House is whether to accept amendments adopted by the Senate in a move to avert a possible veto by Presi dent Eisenhower. If acceptance is voted without sei.ding the bill to a Senate-House conference, the measure will go to the White House. The House on July 31 passed a bill to grant a T per cent increase in benefits. The vote was 375-2. The Senate last Saturday ap proved a similar 7 per cent bene fit boost in passing a Social Secu rity bill by a 79-0 vote. However, the Senate pared increased fed eral grants to the stales for four public assistance programs to 197 million dollars. As approved by the House. Ihcse grants would total 288 millions, he programs are for the needy, the aged, blind, and disabled and dependent children.

Gary Nakanashl, 16, of Seattle, ana neyoe Hirai. 75; 01 rtyssa Ore., were killed about 7:15 this morning in a two-car collision on Highway 201 near the Adrian la bor camp, south of Nyssa. Others in the accident were in jured but details were not imme diately available. The roads were suck from rain this morning. The Sunday victims were Stan, ley Obert, about 40, Bend; Robert Riley, 36-year-old Springfield in ventor and merchant patrolman; Mrs. Charlotte Tower, . 71, Port land, and Earl J. Heeb, 51, Trout dale. Injuries Fatal Obert died Sunday night after his car ran off a forest road near Pringle Falls, southwest of Bend. He had been at a barbecue and was on his way home when he drove off the road and hit a tree. State police said Obert sot out of the car and was picked up about 15 minutes later by friends aiso returning irom tne barbecue. His only apparent injury was a nose bleed. On the way to the hospital, however, Obert slumped over in the seat. He was pro nounced dead on arrival at a Bend , hospital. A doctor said it appeared Obert may have suffered a heart attack. Riley, an inventor of note who had patented a mechanical duck decoy, died when a Springfield police car chasing a speeder col lided with a third automobile east of Springfield. Rodney Brester, a Springfield policeman, was driving the patrol car, which collided with an auto driven by Gerald P. Wilson, Eu gene. Brester suffered non-critical injuries. Wilson and three passen gers were unhurt. Mrs. Tower, a pedestrian, walked into the path of a car in North Portland. It was the 21st traffic death of the year in Port land. Heeb was injured fatally in Ihe crash of a car into a tree just off the Mt. Hood highway near Orient, east of Gresham. Three passengers were injured in the wreck. The July traffic death toll was increased to 41, worst this year, with the late report of the Aug. 3 death of Anna Sundquist, 71, San Francisco, who was injured July 19 in an automobile-motorcycle collision in Washington County. Rescuers Have Difficult Time During Search (Continued From Page One) Said Suiter, in describing the crew's adventures: "We took off down Donegan Creek. It was really rough, with no trails. It was steep and ex tremely brushy. "Hap O'Day (Roseburg radio station KYES announcer) fell off a cliff and sprained his leg later in the afternoon.

But we had only one light and the going was loo rough, so we gave up Irving to reach the road. "Meanwhile, the other members ol the party repaired the radio and contacted base camp."

Suiter said she was "awfullv shaky" and aded that her legs were so sore that she "could bare ly stand up " But other than that, he said she seemed to come through the long ordeal in good shpe.

AUG. liir Atfr-iinon Ml Be "jUe Blood Donors, Response Poor Among Groups ResDonse to an appeal to civic groups, churches and business houses for pledges by prospective blood donors has been poor, Mrs. Robert Franks, Douglas County Red Cross blood recruitment chair man, reported today. About two weeks ago, the Red Cross asked for community support of the blood program in prepara tion for a stop of the organiza tion's bloodmobile at Roseburg Elks Lodge Aug. 25-26. The Junior Chamber of Com merce, First Presbyterian Church, First Conservative Baptist Church, First Church of God and the Ki wanis Club have come up with 34 pledges, Mrs. Franks said. Definite appointments for blood donations are needed to conform with a new procedure of scnea ulhie donors. At the donor's ap pointment time, his name will be called by a receptionist. By that method, it's hoped that donors can plan their day better, and long waiting periods should be elimin ted, Mrs. Franks said. Donors must be between 18 and 60 years of age. weight 110 pounds and be physically fit. Persons who have had surgery or who became mothers in the past year won't be accepted; neither will persons who have had jaundice or malaria at tacks in the past two years. Appointments may be made by phoning Mrs. Franks or Mrs. Walt er Brittell. Search Reveals Woman Lost In Mountain Area (Continued From Page One) ..v., m,n from the Shadv Cove- Medford area served sandwiches and campfire - heated coffee throughout the search. The campsite was donated to the search effort by John Davis, Tal ent, who had set up camp there earlier. Mrs. Hawks last was seen just north of the camp, across the tim ber access road which runs east and west past the camp. More than 26 hours later, at about 7 o.m. Saturday. Douglas County Deputy L. A. (Louie) Suit er came across Mrs. Hawks in Squaw Creek canyon about five miles northeast of the camp. Mrs. Hawks had propped herself against a log and was sleeping. Wiese estimated the lost woman had walked at least eight miles during her wanderings through tht steep terrain. Suiter was a member of a crew which had left the base camp about 1:30 p.m. A cheer went up from those at the base camp as the welcome message crackled over the Elk 1 Creek Lumber Company's mobile radio rig. Then the pistol shots , a pre-arranged signal which indica ted to others in the woods that Mrs. Hawks had been found were fired. Feared Collapse It was feared earlier that Mrs. Hawks had collaps.ed into the heavy underbrush a situation which would greatly reduce searchers' chances of finding her. Friends at base camp said she had suffered a pinched nerve in her back several months ago and the condition had resulted in her hip becoming partially paralyzed. This factor contributed to the be lief among some searchers that she might be relatively close to the camp, but virtually invisible in Ihe underbrush. Conversation between the search party which discovered Mrs. Hawks and personnel at the base camp was carried on by relay through Elk Lumber's main radio at Med ford. Direct signals from the walkie-talkie were too weak to be re ceived by the smaller mobile out fit at the camp. Numbered among searchers were rangers, state police from Rose burg and Medford and Jackson County deputies. Most of the oth er searchers were mill workers from Jackson County. Sheriff Ira C. Byrd patrolled the area in a light plane. And Norman Wilson brought his trained blood hounds from Dallas Saturday to assist in the search. Mrs. Hawks was found, however, before the hounds were able to track her down. Wilson, an assistant and the dogs took to the trail at about the time Mrs. Hawks was found. Because of difficulty with t h e T'eld crew's radio, however, news of the crew's success was not re. ceived at the base camp until nearly n.m Old Fashioned Celebration Monte Brooks end hit land .Playing . the Ood eld tongi Sunday I P.M.
