Federal Jury Indicts CM NEW YORK (AP) General Motors Corp. has been indicted on a charge of criminally monop olizing production and sale of diescl locomotives and suppress ing competition in the industry. A one-count indictment against GM was returned here Wednesday by a federal grand jury, acting on evidence presented hy the Jus tice Department's antitrust divi sion. Frederick G. Donner, chairman of the GM board, commented: "General Motors is not guilty of the monopolistic practices charged in tho indictment. This will be clearly established at the trial." The corporation is scheduled to plead in federal district court next Monday, If convicted, it could be fined up to $50,000. Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy said in Washington that the charge against GM violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act re sulted from two-year Investiga tion. The indictment says GM used illegal sales methods to suppress competition and capture more than 84 per cent of the locoino tivo business for its electromotive division. ' : Citing dM as "probably the na tion's largest shipper of freight," the indictment charges that GM routed shipments to favor pur chasers of its locomotives, and withheld or reduced patronage to lines buying diescl locomotives from GM competitors. Other accusations are that GM took part in drawing up specifi cations for uso in bidding shut ting off other manufacturers from competition and selling locomo tives at a loss wherever it had competition. GM entered the locomotive In dustry in 1030. In I960, it had total net sales in all or us manuiaciur ing lines of $12.7 billion. The gov. eminent charges that GM had ac quired 84 per cent of the locomo tive business, and since 1946 sold locomotives with a total value of $2,681,545,429.

Sundnv church 1 c.,f.,.tn u.ill l, I l II,'. the mountains of northern Burma has shown that it is a force the Communists would have to reckon with should the international cur rents shift. Thailand alone among the three nations has not been the scene of continuous guerrilla fighting since the end of World War II. Its American trained army has at least one infantry division and one armored regiment ready to go into immediate action along tne norinern Dorclcr with Laos. Tanks Deployed The armored regiment has about 40 World War II vintage M24 tanks deployed across the Menong Kiver irom Laos. Tho main strength of the Thai army is concentrated in Lop Buri and Khorat, two bases covering the northern approaches to Bang kok:. The total strength of the army is estimated ai iw.uou men. The South Viet Nam army has at least 100,000 battle-trained com bat troops, most of them engaged in the growing struggle against the Communist guerrillas. Tbey include 7 infantry divisions of 10.000 men each. 6 airborne bat talions of 600 men each, and 3 hatlalinns of marines, Lass Than 100,000 The Burmese army numbers less than 100,000 men and has been shaken recently by the re moviil of 10 of its top command. crs for "political activities." But few fighting forces in Southeast Asia have as muc. experience in guerrilla warfare as Burma s. from a low point in 1949. when the government forces held only nan a dozen towns in tne coun try, the army has turned the tide and has driven the enemy into tne jungles. Irrigation Water Picture Brighter The irrigation water oiclure for Douglas County has taken a turn for the better in the last weeks, primarily because of a cool, wet March. W. T. Frost, Snow Survey sup ervisor for the Soil Conservation Service, Oregon Agricultural Ex. periment Station and Oregon State engineer, said water content of the mountain snowpack on the Umn. qua Is 78 per cent of the 15-year average base and 120 per cent of last year. Favor Runoff He said moisture in the soil man tle (top four feet) of these water sheds is very satisfactory and will favor spring runoff for the melt ing snow. All forecasts In the southern Oregon area have Increased from 10 to 22 per cent as a result of heavy increases in mountain snow pack. Forecasts of strcamflow for the irrigation season (April-September) indicate discharge of the North Umpqua near Toketee Falls will be 80 per cent of the 15-year average. I lie final report on 1961 water supply conditions will be issued May 8. Above 15-Year Average The great increase in precipita tion for March is further indicated by tho U.S. Geological Survey's report on runoff In the Umpqua near Elkton. This March, mean discharge was 24,120 cubic second feet, as compared to 18,060 in March 1960. It was far above tho 15-vear average of 13,350. For the first six months of the weather year, the total cfs-days (cubic feet of water per second in a day) was 2,18.1,000. Last year, the figure was 1,437,000. But an indication of a fairly dry win ter was reflected by the fact the total was still below the 15-year average of 2,320,000.

The legal argument developed soon after the trial opened Tues day, with Eichmann's chief coun sel, Dr. Robert Servatius of West Germany, contending that Israel has no right to try Eichmann, that the 1950 law under which he is charged cannot apply because it was promulgated after the alleged offenses and that Eichmann was only a tool of his Nazi masters. Israeli Attorney General Gide on Hausner has spent more than three trial sessions in argument against Servatius' contentions. He told the court he would need an other hour Friday to sum up, Ser vatius sam nra counter-argument would take another half hour. Meanwhile, the nation paused to commemorate the Jews who died during the war. .

Senate Group Rejects Request For More Multnomah Solons SALEM (AP) The Senate Elections Committee voted 4-3 to day against giving Multnomah County any more legislators. It sent to the Senate floor an amended version of the House- passed legislative reapportionment bill, which had increased Mult nomah s seven senators to eight. The Senate committee today de cided to give that extra senator to a new Washington - Tillamook district. The senator is being taken from Polk County. As the Senate version now stands, there would be these dis tricts, each having one senator: Clatsop - Columbia: Washington Tillamook; Washington; and Lincoln-Polk. The House had voted for a lineup like this: Clatsop-Columbia-Tillamook; Washington; Lincoln-Polk; and increasing Multnomah by one. The present lineup is: Clatsop- Columbia; Lincoln - Tillamook; Washington; and Polk. In the House, Clackamas County would gain one member at the ex pense of the mid-Columbia coun ties just east of the Cascades. That is the only House change. The Senate committee did not change it. Kep. Alice Corbett. D-Portland, said she opposes the bill. She said Atuitnoman county is entitled to more members in each house. Sen. Andrew J.
