1 Lamb Industry Hurt By Federal Grading, Claim WASHINGTON (AP) - Claims! tht government trading prac-i licej ara preventing production ot top quality lambj were put in the i Congressional Record Saturdav by; Sen. Frank E. Moss (D-L'tah). The Senator had printed in the record a speech by Don Clvde of L'lah, retiring president of the Na tional Wool Growers Assn. The wool growers are asking discontinuance of federal grading of lambs. They say arbitrary grade standards actually prevent production of the type -of lamb which would appeal to the house wife. Calling attention to a conference scheduled here April 17 between AjSriculture Department officials and producers. Moss said: "I certainly hppe they will bring about the necessary corrective ! Train Crashes Auto, Killing 2 Occupants j MOUNT VERNON (AP) - A Great Northern passenger train slammed into a car at a north end crossing Friday afternoon killing the two occupants of the vehicle. The victims were Mount Vernon pharmacist O.W. Wasell, 67, and Isadora E. Taylor, 48, also of Mount Vernon. Wasell apparently was blinded by the late afternoon sun and did not see the flashing lights that marked the crossing, Police Chief Don Landreth said. Officers said Wasell was thrown from the automobile when the eight-car southbound train hit. Mrs. Taylor was . trapped inside the vehicle. steps, or if the producers' feeling is justified, that they will discon tinue this grading system that the producers believe is damaging them in the market place."

An official of llobson House Mov ing, Inc., will confer with Oregon Stale Highway department officials on Monday, according to Mrs. V. J. Micelli, president of the Doug las County Historical Society. The house must travel on the freeway for some distance no mat ter what method of moving is em ployed. In such instances the high way department checks with the Oregon Historical Society to de termine the authenticity of such a property as a historical landmark and not a mere commercial ven ture, according to Mrs. Micelli. Thomas Vaughn, head of the Portland contracting firm has a major moving venture elsewhere in Oregon coming up immediately, and so must transport the Moore home quickly.

Here is his report.) By WEBB MCKINLEY . NICOSIA, Cyprus. (AP) - EOKA's war is over and the boys are neaauig nome. ine wiry youths wiiom Britain so recently called terrorists now are hailed at heroes on the streets of Nicosia. They do not look fierce. It is hard to imagine one padding si lently along an alley, gun in hand. or waiting for the right instant to set off a land mine on a mountain road. They look more like young clerks, accountants, students, elec tricians, lawyers or farmers which in fact they once were. But the four-year war they fought in EOKA, the Greek Cy priot underground, to free Cyprus from Britain was tough and ruth less. A total of 39.1 killings were attributed to EOKA. Wore than half the victims were Greek Cy print civilians marked as traitors to the cause of Enosis, the union of Cyprus with Greece. EOKA did not win Enosis. But on the advice of its leadership it accepted the plan for eventual in dependence for Cyprus. Lives Lost The hatreds born in the strug gle washed over into lntercom- munal fighting between Greek and Turkish CyprioU that took another 115 lives. All in all, including those killed by British security forces the war left 601 dead and 1,260 wounded On the face of it, EOKA was battling hopeless odds. Its own hard core centered in the moun tains probably never numbered more than 60 men, although the line of communication and part- Myrtle Creek Science Exhibits Draw Visitors By RUTH EVANS Several hundred people viewed the four scientific exhibit! at the Mvrtle Creek Schools last week There were eight entries at the high school. 22 at the upper elemen tary, 35 at primary and 161 at the Tri-Citv School.

Police said Mrs. Charlotte Christoph was tending the grave when the large stone toppled over. They said the stone probably had been loosened by rain and thrown off Us base by a gust ot wina. 'Looking back on it." a British intelligence official mused after Grivas called off the battle early this week, "he was ruthless, ab solutely fearless, and a good or ganizer to the nth degree. In fact, he was the sort of chap you would want on your side if you had to do me same tiling. Lands On Cyprus Grivas was 56 when he landed from Rhodes on the west coast of Cyprus the night of Nov. 9, 1954. Retired from the army in 1944. he had led a fanatically right-wing band in Greece after the war and gotten a name for hardness and efficiency. He was called to Cyprus to or ganize a militant force to support Archbishop Makarios of the Greek Orthodox Church in his campaign for Enosis. He immediately began to search for potential leaders in the Cyprus youth movement, discarding as he went along those with inadequate hardness or zeal, By the time his campaign opened, on April 1, 1955 he had around him a hand of tough young men forming EOKA's inner core, and a second echeion ot couriers, paymasters, quarter masters, recruiters and informants. In the yeara that followed. C.UKA had successes and some near disasters. By mid-1956, Brit ish intelligence was beginning to oreaK through. Even so, 1956 was the year that Field Marshal Lord Harding, the British commander In rhief here awoke one morning to find a time Domo in ms Den. Truce Negotiated In March 1957, when EOKA ap peared to be near defeat, with many of its top men dead or cap tured, Britain accepted a truce But essentially, EOKA survived because it won almost complete support from the island's 400,000 Greek Cypriots, and because of its excellent organization and deadly discipline. "We are aU EOKA," the Greek Cypriot mayor of Nicosia once pro claimed. On hundreds of occasions British troops would rush within minutes to Uie scene of a killing, only to find that the killers had vanished, furnished with escape routes by the populace. In the mountains peasants fed EOKA men and hid the in. Grivas broke his organization down into mountain gangs, village shotgun groups and two killer squads which worked on order for specific targets, squads waiting for "targets of opportunity," couriers, leaflet distributors, pro pagandists and the like. Arms were smuggled in from the Greek main land or stolen from British depots on the island. Lxplosives were I stolen from mines. 1 Part-Time Rebels Except for the mountain men i who directed the warfare and ear-i ried out ambushes, it was a part-1 time organization. A villager might : perform an EOKA mission one day ; and go back to his crops the next. ; Students were used extensively. ; Practically every schoolboy be tween the ages of 12 and IT was active one way or another. Communications were surpris ingly good, lip to five couriers 1 would carry one message and the messages got through, lo ar range a truce, the British in Nico sia could get a letter to Grivas within three hours. Truces were called four times and their effect always was instantaneous through out the island. Grivas had some talented and tough lieutenants lo help make the organization work. They were not hoodlums all had respectable and some had brilliant scholastic records. Grivas himself was a stern and intensely suspicious disciplinarian. He allowed no gambling or amor ous adventures in his group. He has not yet emerged in public. He probably will go to Greece for the future. But on March 9. IS days after the independence agreement was signed in London, EOKA leaflets, spread as mysteriously and swift ly as ever, told Greek Cypriots Dighenis was ordering the strug gle to end. He called on them to work in peace for the new re public. That morning, Nicosia burst out in celebration ofi relief and joy. The London agreement, to which Greek Cypriots were lukewarm. had been signed. Archbishop Ma karios had come back from exile. But it really hadn't been over not until their hero, Dighenis, laid so. Elk Herd Invades Pasture Of Home On Little River Fourteen elk can present a prob lem when they find a home in your pasture, the Ellis Watsons of Little River Rd. above Glide learned Fri day. the elk showed up Friday after noon and Mrs. Watson notified the sheriff's ofiice that they were pres ent. She telephoned again this morning and a game officer was slated to visit the Watson home today to look over the situation. The herd includes two young, Mrs. Watson told the News-Review today. The elk don't have a bit of respect for a person or' dog but they will run from a car, she not ed. The herd first appeared about three or four days ago, she said. Until Friday the herd stayed on the opposite hank of Little River "looking us over." The Watsons are concerned. They have stock of their own, cows and horses, and also possess a field of grain that is coming up fast. The elk clear fences without trou ble although some times they take the top strand of wire with rhem when they hurdle the barrier. This . is harder on the fencing than on the elk, Mrs. Watson said. She 1 observed the game visitors were "in excellent shape." Located 14 miles above Glide, the Watsons occupy the last ranch on Little River Rd. jShip Cargo Explodes; Four Brazilians Killed SALVADOR, Brazil (AP) An 'explosion of a cargo of inflam mable asphalt destroyed the Bra zilian freighter Urubatan and killed four crew members in the port of llheus Friday.
