Cong li To fasten ouriHneirt ress s Mi Labor, Housing Legislation Is Killed By House WASHINGTON Al') Leaders Krpt mo pressure on today in an effort to wind up the 85th Con gress hy the weekend. In a day of slam-bang action Monday, the House killed labor and housing legislation. The Sen ate completed congressional ac tion on a new farm bill, and con firmed the controversial nomina tion of Wilson W. White to be as sistant attorney general in charge of civil rights. Today the Senate turned to pro posals to modify the effects of re cent supreme Court decisions, and the House to a minerals subsidy 0111. Neither of those issues gener ated the heat of the major meas ures disposed of Monday and Mon day night, but both were contro vcrsial enough for possible verbal j ire worns. Smaller Measures Both bouses were knocking off smaller measuis by dozens Mon day under rules cutting off amend' merits and nearly all debate. The loudest and sharpest talk of Monday's long session came in the Senate over the nomination of White, a Philadelphia lawyer, to head the new Civil nights Divi sion in the Department of Justice. ine nomination, penning since January, finally went through M 20. Southern senators protested to me last inai it was a pay-oil to White for his legal advice that President Eisenhower had power 10 use troops to oacK up court or ders for school integration in Lit tle Rock, Ark. White, in another Justice De partment post, did much of the legal work in that situation. In hearings on the nomination he in sisted he only gave advice on what might be legally done as a last resort. The discussion was heated up by the St. Louis Court of Appeals ruling Monday which threw out a district judge's order allowing a zvi-yoar aciay in Little Kock in tegration. The farm measure was sent lo the White House on a voice veto by the Senate late in the night. Jl goes part way but not as far as the administration would like toward Secretary of Agriculture Benson's goal of cutting down farm price support levels and loosening controls over produc tion. It heads off a big cut in cot ton and rice acreage that would have been required under existing law. The labor and housing measures were disposed of earlier in the day through House action in kill ing the bills. The labor measure, applying new controls on unions but not as light curbs as some members want, came up under conditions requiring a two-thirds majority for passage and did not even get a simple majority. The count was 1IH1 for and 198 against. There appeared no douht it will be both a congressional campaign issue and the center of a hot fight in the next Congress. There was some talk of living for housing legislation in a sharply rut form but the adjournment pres sure operated against that.

He pointed out that the bridge job couldn't go ahead until the Highway Department has complet ed a cost estimate.

When it is de termined what the city is going to have to pay, Farrell said, it then must he put up to the voters to approve a bond issue to raise the money. Opposition Noted Ramberg struck some sparks when he reviewed the history of the couplet and the onnositinn to it.

Ritzn an then put it up to Ram berg "How do you answer it?" he asked. Signs "Uninlt retting" The chamber official and Rose hurg hotel man did not answer di rectly hut his phrases indicated that business dictated the need for a couplet. He said other cities have such couplets and that the array of "do not enter" and "no turn" signs which greet drivers as thev drive along Stephens Street "looks very uninteresting lo tourists and out-of-town business." Musi of those present at the meeting voiced the opinion that the bridge is most vital to Rose hiirg. However, no priontv or pro gram was set up.

(AP) An unconscious paratrooper, his chute lines snarled, was pulled to safety after dangling 1,800 feet in the air outside an airplane Monday. ( Pvt. David L. Creager, 18, ot the lOist Airborne Division jumped from a transport 1,800 feet up. His fall ended 20 feet from the plane. As he hung there, the crew an Ohio reserve unit tied ropes around his static lines and slowly pulled him toward the plane. Ten minutes later they had him inside, getting artificial respira tion from the only flight surgeon in the 16-plane flight. He was treated for minor injuries. The accident occurred as the airmen of the 356th Troop Car iier Squadron, from Clinton Coun ty, Ohio, Air Force Base, on week end duty, were returning 250 para troopers here from an exercise at the Ohio field. Creagher, of Dennison, Ohio, said today, "I just jumped too mon. I didn't wait long enough after the man in front of me jumped, and our lines got tan gled." The plane's commander. CaDt. Robert E. Wilson, New Carlisle. Ohio, said as the other man fell clear, his lines snapped back and twisted around Creager. That snarled his chute. Wilson ran to the rear of the plane and helped naui mm in. Maj. Richard M. Griswold, squadron commander and the plone's pilot, said, "There is very seldom a successful rescue. If we bad not had a full crew, a flight surgeon and fate on our side, we would have lost him." Woman Says Taxi Line Operator Got Kidnap Money WASHINGTON (AP)-The for mer wife of Robert (Barney) Bak er swore todav he onpe tntH hpt- that Joseph Costello, St. Louis taxi line operator, "got the Green lease money, and that's why he tried to kill himself." "I may get killed for telling," Mollie Baker, divorced wife of Teamsters Union official Baker, told the Senate Rackets Investi gating Committee. The committee had hinted last week that it might produce some sensational testimony about the $300,000 that has never been re covered from the $600,000 ransom paid in 1953 by the parents of! young Bobby Greenlease of Kan sas City, Mo., who was kidnaped ana siain. , Underworld Links Mrs. Baker reeled off a story of links between the underworld and Baker, a top lieutenant of Teamsters Union President James R. Hoffa. At times, she protested at hav ing to answer the questions shot a' her by Robert r. Kennedy, committee counsel It was John Hager. a taxi driver employed by Costello'i Ace Cab Co., who ga - St. Louis police the tip that led to the capture of Carl Austin Hall, the kidnap-slayer of Ihe 6-year old Greenlease boy. Hall and his accomplice, Bonnie Rrown Heady were executed for the crime, hut the police never recovered half of the ransom. Mrs. Baker described her hus band as close to Costello and said "Baker told me Costello got the Greenlease monev. and that is why he tried to kill himself.' ' The commiftee has been digging into the 1955 disappearance of Dave Probstein, an Indianapolis lawyer who had husiness ties with Teamster officials. Mrs. Baker told the senators the FBI, and the police had been "sweating me about the Green lease money." "I didn't get a penny of il," she added. "The man who got it must have prospered." Quotas Husband Mrs. Baker quoted her husband as telling her once he was making a trip to Indianapolis "to take rare of a shyster lawyer." She didn't mention any name. She said her husband told her "he would be close forever to Jim my Hoffa if he did this one more job." The committee among other things is seeking light on the dis appearance of Indianapolis lawyer-businessman Dave Probstein, who vanished on a trip to St. Louis on June ''6. 1955. after telling a friend he was going on a danger ous mission. One of Probstein's business in terests was a taxi company he had financed partly through an $8,000 loan from Hofa. AUG.

Wint Smith (R-Kan) denied under oath today that pressure from high places squelched a 1953 in vestigation of teamster boss James R. Hoffa. Smith said the hearings, by a House subcommittee had rurt4heir course by the time he gaveled them to a close in Detroit. Testifying before the Senate Rackets Investigating Committee, Smith said in reply to questions: 1. He never received anything of value from Hoffa to influence the inquiry. 2. He never has received cam paign contributions from Hoffa or from organized labor. 3. Hoffa received nothing but fair treatment from the House La bor subcommittee in the 1953 in quiry. Smith was co-chairman of the Labor subcommittee with Rep. Clare Hoffman (R-Mich). Hoffman came before the sena tors last week and testified that there had been nothing out of or der in the wind-up of the hear ings. At the time (hey closed in De troit. Smith was Quoted as sav ing he had orders "from way up there." He told reporters in an interview last week that what he meant by this was that he had instructions from the then chair man of the full labor committee former Rep. Sam McConnetl (R Pa) that the subcommittee must limit its inquiry strictly to mat ters of union welfare funds. Hospital News Mtrcy Hospital Admitted Jimmy Lavin, Rose.

FOR THE KIDDIES Circus Clowns MAGIC AND MIRTH EVERYDAY OF THE FAIR A FREE SHOW DOUGLAS 21 - 24 ROSEBURG Farm Measure Gets Rush Treatment; Goes To President WASHINGTON (AP) A farm bill that got rush treatment was White House-bound today amid predictions it will be signed by president tisennower. Chairman Allen J. Ellender (D La) of the Senate Agriculture Committee said he was reason ably certain Eisenhower would sign the bill, which the Senate passed by voice vote Monday night. The House passed it last week. Secretary of Agriculture Ben son, who supported most of the bill's provisions, indicated earlier that the President would sign the measure u it gained passage. The measure would Drevent sharp cutback in planting of . cot ton and rice, allow corn farmers to rid themselves of all planting controls, and extend for three more years a subsidy program for domestic wool growers. Another provision which the administration especially likes would permit lower government price supports on cotton, rice, corn and other livestock feed grains. Benson said in a statement that it was his understanding Congress would act on two other pieces of farm legislation before it quits. One would extend the farm sur plus disposal law for two years with 3' 2 billion dollars in addition al authority for overseas sales and gifts of farm surpluses. Benson said the second bill was one pending in the Senate calling for state participation in aid pro grams for farmers hit by natural disasters.
