Coast Guard Re Jeapardized By Philadelphia (A P) The Coast Guard today re-opened the Port of Philadelphia which had been closed for seven hours as a precaution against fire after 7,000 gallons of a flammable chemical spilled into the Delaware River from a pipeline shattered by a pp. Chief Petty Officer William Tay lor announced the port was re opened at 4:30 a.m. after an in spection showed that most of the chemical, orthoxylene, either evaporated, was absorbed by the water or went out with the tide. He said, however, that Philadel phia fire officials reported there still was a concentration of the chemical in the areas of two piers here. Smoking was prohibited in pier areas and vessels were asked to proceed with caution. The SS Dorset, a 10,000-ton freighter carrying lumber from Vancouver, B.C., to Philadelphia, smashed into the pier and cut the pipeline while trying to dock in a strong tide Wednesday night.

The New York Ship building Corp. in South Camden, N.J., and other waterfront indus tries doused acetylene torches and immediately ordered other fire prevention measures. A fireboat poured thousands of gallons of water on the river sur face to dilute the chemical which is used in the manufacture of paint and varnish.

Beck, former president of the Teamsters Union, is under a sen tence of up to 15 years in the state prison for taking $1,900 from the sale of a union automobile for his own use A brief asking the Supreme Court to review Beck's conviction was given to County Prosecutor Charles O. Carroll Wednesday. The brief.' drawn by attorneys Charles Burdell and John J. Keough, presents three main argu ments. They are: That the 65-year-old former un ion chief was denied correct law procedure when the court refused to permit a change of location of tne trial or a postponement. That the grand jury which in dicted Beck "was convened in an atmosphere of the most extreme public passion and hostility. . ."

Victor Atiyeh, R-Portland, said Wednes day he will introduce a proposed constitutional amendment to in crease legislators' $600 annual pay to $1,800. The voters rejected, a raise to $2,100 last May. Atiyeh said he believes the people thought the raise too large. It would be on the 1962 general election ballot. Atiyeh opposed the resolution, passed several days ago, to pay legislators expenses of $75 a month during sessions, and $150 a month between sessions. Secretary of State Howell App ling Jr. said he would ask Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton for an opinion on whether the expense money should be paid. Appling said it might violate the consti tution, which says legislators shall not receive,, personal ex penses. Thornton advised Appling he will not render, an opinion until some legislator actually files a claim for the expense money. House Speaker Robert B. Dun can said he will file such a claim at the end of this month in order to get a legal ruling. The whole question of expense money is expected to wind up in tne state supreme uourt. Atiyeh said his resolution is a "staright forward approach" to the problem Douglas County STATE BANK Roseburg contrast to the ilsudly fussy, full skirted gowns worn by first ladies at inauguration balls. It is a floor-length sheath with a simple, sleeveless and extreme ly blousy top. The dress which eventually may wind up among the memo rabilia at the SmithsoniaVi Institu tion in Washington was made public today by the president elect's press secretary, Pierre Salinger. . The very slim skirt is made of white silk peau d'ange (a sheer silk) veiled with white chiffon. The coiLarless, sleeveless bodice, richly embroidered in silk and brilliants, is fitted, but it is cov ered by a transparent, very full overblouse that puffs out like a cloud at the hipbone. While traveling to and from the three (or four) locations of offi cial inauguration celebrations in the capital Friday night, Mrs. Kennedy will button a floor-length cape around her gown. It is made of the same white silk peau d'ange and is completely veiled in silk triple chiffon. The cape arches from shoulder to hem with soft waves to the back. It is fastened by twin em broidered buttons under a ring collar. The new .'irst lady, highly re garded for her understated high fashion sense, is expected to wear 20-button while glace kid gloves with her ensemble and carry a matching white tailored clutch purse. Peaking from the hemline of her stride-limiting slim skirt will be white silk opera pumps, medium high. The designer, Ethel Frankau, of Bergdorf Goodman's, left for Europe without waiting to see Mrs. Kennedy wear her creation at the ball. The store, which had been guarding the costume sketches as if they were a top secret, refused to comment on the cost. Soviets Claim U.S. Planes Buzz Ships MOSCOW (AP) The Soviets claimed today that American war ships or planes harassed four more of their merchant vessels in the Atlantic Ocean and the Red China seas in the past four days. Tass, the Soviet news agency, listed these incidents: Jan. 16 Two amphibians "pi ratically buzzed" the Dubossary in the Atlantic; Jan. 17 The De stroyer 692 (Allen M. Summer) came close to the Fryazino yi the Red Sea and asked the ship's name: Jan. 18 The same destroy er, with its guns trained, ma neuvered for 15 minutes near tne tanker Izyaslav in the Red Sea. The Soviets have made such charges repeatedly.

People do not know exactly Pope Confers Cardinal Hat On St. Louis Archbishop VATICAN CITY (AP) Pope John XXHI today conferred the cardinal's red hat on Archbishop Joseph E. Ritter of St. Louis, Jib., ana tnree otner new princes ot tlie Roman Catholic Church. The public consistory in St. Peter's Basilica, high point of four days of ceremony that swelled the College of Cardinals to 85 mem bers, was attended by 29 previ ous cardinals, hundreds of bish ops, archbishops and priests, and about 10.1HJU spectators. Cardinal Ritter was the first to get his hat. As he knelt before the papal throne and two attend ants held the, broad-brimmed hat or galero over his head, Pope John intoned: "For the praise of almighty God and the honor of the holy apostolic see. receive the red hat. the special badge of a cardinal's rank. By tins you are to under stand that you must show your self fearless, even to tne snctKiing of blood, in making our holy fail respected, in security pcaco ot Christian people, and by promot ing the weltare ot the K.iman church.

The same red hut, or galero, was used for all four cardinals. Later in the day papal messen gers were to deliver individual hats to each of the four prelates. The red-lasseled galero normally is never worn, but hangs in the cardinal's church and at his death is placed on his coffin while he lies in stale. Bombers On Alert Around The Clock OMAHA, Neb. (AP)-Strategic Air Command now has B52 bom bers on an around-the-clock air borne alert in keeping, its com mander says, with United S'ates policy of preparedness to reduce to an absolute minimum time re quired to respond to an attack on the nation. Gen. Thomas S. Power, in an nouncing the airborne aleit Wednesday, did not say how many bombers are in the air at any given time and SAC headquarters would neither confirm or deny the presence of nuclear weapons on the aircraft. "But we can say the training is conducted under the most re alistic conditions possible," head quarters added. All combat ready crews are be ing utilized :n the program that keeps each bomber in the air for a 24-hour period. Refueling is by KC-135 jet slratotankers. About two dozen bases scattered over the nation are being used. News - Review, Roieburg, Ore. 3 There apepars to be, for exanj pie, little or no hangover of cam paign bitterness. The Republicans, noting Kennedy's razor-thin mar gin of victory, are chagrined but by no means downhearted. Soma of thehi, while taking a wait-and- ( see position, grudgingly concede that Kennedy seems to be off lo a good start. The "transfer of power" period seems to have gone off unusually weu. In 1952, the transition between Eisenhower and Harry S. Truman was not a happy one. But when he was niiesfinnrri about the Kennedy transition oper ation at his news conference Wednesday, Eisenhower said; "I think it is going splendidly, splendidly. As a matter of fact, there are no comulaints on nur part." Traditionally, an incoming pres ident enjoys a' honeymoon with Congress, a period when the leeis- lators are disposed to be as gen erous with him as possible. Soon er or later, of course, it ends. Eight vears aso at this time. the Washington wisecrack was. wnon does Hie honeymoon be gin?" Kennedy's nominations for his Cabinet and other top offices have , had smooth sailing so far. But in 1953. one of Eisenhower's key nominations Charles E. Wil son to be secretary of defense was heading for a collision with the Senate Armed Forces Com mittee before an agreement was reached. It pivoted on the question of Wilson's slock holdings in Gen eral Motors and whether he would dispose of them. Kennedy has some advantages that Eisenhower did not enjoy. He has had 14 years in Congress and an even longer acquaintance with politics as such. Eisenhower, the soldier-turned-statesman, had none. Eisenhower had a shooting war on his hands, with Americans dy ing in Korea. Kennedy confronts critical situations in Cuba and Laos, but out outright "war. In 1953, Americans assumed that the U.S. was the strongest military power in the world. Four years were to elapse before the first sputuik went into orbit. To day, that assumption is open to challenge. So Kennedy probably can demand and get far greater sacrifices from the American peo ple than would have been possible for Eisenhower. Eight years ago, this corre spondent wrote: "The mood on Capitol Hill was like the weather dark, rainy and lorcoouing. it contrasted Danefully with the sunshine and high spirits of Inauguration Day." Today, the prevailing feeling is that bright new horizons are about lo open. A. .. --ir -i t -
