Humphrey Says US
Has Tremendous
Stake In Peace
NEW YORK (AP) Sen. Hubert
Humphrey, (D-Minn) in an article
written for but not published so
far by Iivestia, aays Americans
hive a tremendous stake in peace.
He submitted th article to the
Iivestia, official publication of the
Soviet government, Dec. 5, four
days after he had spent eight
hours visiting Premier Nikita
Khrushchev.
Th text was mad publio today
by Radio Liberation, which said it
intends to broadcast the article.
Radio Liberation describes itself
as th voice of former Soviet cit
izens. It broadcasts In Russian
and IT other languages.
It said Humphrey "wrote this
article and gave it to th repre
sentatives of th Intourut Travel
Agency asking that it be published
in Izvestia. Yet it did not appear
up to now."
Humphrey was quoted as writ
ing that America is . dedicated
above all to a just and enduring
peace.
"I hop that th Soviet people
understand the tremendous stake
which th American people have
in th avoidance of war," Hum
phrey wrote.
"Three quarters of our families
own their own homes and their
own automobiles, which war
would ail destroy. Ninety-five per
rent of our farm are served by
electricity, and the country has
almost 70 million telephones. This,
too, would all disappear in a war.
"We Americana cannot expect
th Soviet people or others to ac
cept all of our opinions on inter
national Issues, just as w do not
often accept th Soviet viewpoint
But it is vital thst esch side know
the viewpoint of the other in clear
and objective form."
Humphrey said th only type of
"war" th United States wishes to
fight as against "our common en
emies such as disease, ignorance,
misery, poverty and fear."

WASHINGTON (AP) About

Measure Would
Exempt Sports
From Anti-Trust
WASltlNliTUN (Afl A new
drive to nail down professional
sport exemptions from the anti
trust laws began today with in
troduction of legislation by five
Hous members.
Th legislation Is designed to
block court action against th re
serve clause and territorial agree
ments. A somewhat similar hill
was passed last year by the
House, but died In the Senate.
The new bill would write into
law as applicable to all profes
sional team sports provisions of
a court decision supporting the Na
tional Football League's role pro
hibiting telecasts of games into
the horn territory of team play
ing at home. Radio broadcasts
would continue to be subject to

Th sponsors of th new legis
lation said it is "necessary to save
baseball's minor leagues." The
minors, they said in a statement
are threatened with extinction
becaus they ar unable to pro
tect their horn games by pro
hibiting telecasts of major league
games into their cities when their
teams are playing at home.

Interior Dept.
Revises Klamath
Lands Appraisal
PORTLAND (AP) The Interior
Department today revised the ap
praised valuation of the JMamaui
Indian Reservation.
Under a reappraisal the value
was placed at 590.791.123. Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger in announc
ing th reappraisal earlier this
week had placed th figur at
$89,486,368.
Department officials explained
he had not had access to the com
plete breakdown In the reapprais
al and so had unknowingly added
up an incomplete list.
In February, 1958, the tribal
property was appraised at J1I9,-
758.029.
"Sine then, however, rash dis
tributions hav been made which
amount to more than $1,000 for
each tribal member," a depart
ment announcement said.
Also since then ponderosa pine
prices have dropped about 15 per
cent, contributing to the decrease
in appraised value. The depart
ment said three firms made the
new appraisal and all had lower
totals than th original appraisal.
Asa of second-growth forests
ranges up to 160 years while old-
growth stands are many hundreds
of years old. Properties of the second-growth
timber do not always
conform to the qualities establish
ed for old growth, however, and
the Ub(J studies are aimed at sup
plying information on the differ
ences and at establishing standards
for the new-growth wood.
Information about tension
strength parallel to the grain has
been scanty. In th past, because
wood exhibits great strength along
the grain and because of lack of
practical fasteners, it was uncom
mon for a clear, straight-grained
piece of wood to be pulled apart
lengthwise before th fasteners
failed. Van Vliet pointed out.
Recent developments in the im
provement of adhesives and fasten
ers and shortage of large, clear
structural material hav ushered
in a new era of wooden truss de
signs and engineered beams, how
ever, he continued. For th first
time, acquiring knowledge about
tension parallel to grain has become
important.
Van Vliet's study indicates that
th second-growth timber has ten
sion strength characteristics com
parable to the old-growth material.
His work was a cooperative project
of the OSC forest research division
and the Oregon Forest Research
Center, located in Corvallis.

if Montague wins his release from
the hospital on his habeas corpus
action he will be immediately ar

Wafer Pockets
Are Given Blame
For Sliding Zoo
PORTLAND (AP) Under
ground water pockets are caus
ing the slide of a 20-acre section
of earth in Portland's new hill
side zoo, a special consultant
says.
But the problem, said Roland
Rose, is to find the pockets and
then get rid of them.
Rose made the report Wednes
day to the City Council as Com
missioner Ormond Bean stopped
work on three projects at the
four-million dollar zoo.
Engineers told Bean that the
20-acre tract had slipped eight
Inches downhill from last August
until last Monday when the most
severe movement snapped gas
and water mains.
In the last two days, though.
the earth has Inched another half
inch down th hill, engineers
said.
Rose told the meeting of coun-
cumen and engineers that the
slide initially was caused by a
deep cut at the bottom of the hill
as the state Highway Depart
ment began to build an access
road from Canyon Road into the
zoo.
Construction Halted
Bean ordered the construction
halt for "a week or 10 days
at least until a committee of en
gineers and consultants can de
cide th extent of the danger."
Work will continue on projects
not in th sliding area, but it
was stopped on a hay barn, the
superintendent's house and the
administration building.
Then Rose, a consultant to the
zoo's architects, gave this report
on the slide:
"Soils specialist and engineers
all agree th underground water,
trapped in blue clay deposits,
will have to be found and elim
inated before th slides ran
be stopped or prevented from
spreading. '
"This will -tak torn time and
may mean a lot of frustrating
experiences. No on can tell
where the water areas ar or
how to eliminate them.
"This whole area was In verv
delicate balance. Until we find
some means of stabilizing this
whole mass of earth, we ar not
going to hav much success stop
ping th slides."
Rose said that 'ft might he pos
sible to drop shafts or dig tun
nels to the water pockets.
That In itself is a job, he said,
for th stat last year tanned a
pocket near the zoo. and had to
dig a well 470 feet deep.

Attempt Underway
To Set Free 'Bird
Man Of Alcatraz'
EUGENE (AP) Thomas E.
Gaddis of Eugene, author of the
biography of Robert F. Stroud,
the "bird man of Alcatrai," went
to San Francisco today to work
for the release of Stroud.
Gaddis said that on Sunday
Stroud will begin his 50th year be
hind bars. Gaddis said Stroud will
b the first federal prisoner ever
to pass th half-century mark in
prison.
Stroud will be 89 on Jan. 28.
He was in solitary confinement
for 42 years until last October,
when he was allowed to go into
the Alcatraz yard.
Gaddis, who is chairman of a
committee for release of Stroud,
said attorney Stanley Furman of
Beverly Hills will press for a con
gressional Investigation of the
handling of the Stroud rase.
Furman submitted a petition for
executive clemency for the prison
er last June. Gaddis said Furman
has found that federal officials
neither acted on nor submitted the
petition to President Eisenhower.
Stroud was imprisoned in Ju
neau, Alaska, on Jan. 18, 1909. on
a manslaughter charge, lie then
was 19. In 1916 he killed a prison
jeweled midriff and floating pan
els, elegant as all get-out.
Less Formal
In a less formal mood is a short
dance dress of black silk faille
with a ruffled whit eyelet em
broidered petticoat, which is sup
posed to show.
Cassini goes happily hack to his
necklines as low as th law al
lows, insisting that "th bosom Is
here to stay."
"Women's dresses are suppbsed
to appeal to men," Cassini says.
"Now men look at fashion in a
basically simple way. It's the
shape that interests me."
Ben Zuckerman shows a well
bred, discreet and wearabl
group of superbly tailored suits
and coats, th suits all with short
jackets and slim skirts. Notable
in the collection is a group of
simple and sophisticated black
silk cocktail dresses with cover
