Hickey Company, Port land, was low bidder Tuesday on a proposed four-story wing to Mer cy Hospital. Todd Building Com pany, Roseburg, submitted the sec ond lowest of five bids. The Mercy Hospital Lay Advis ory Board, in conjunction with Roald, Schmeer and Harrington, Portland, architects, has recom- Hat field Rues State Daylight Time Confusion MEDFORD (AP) Gov. Mark Hatfield hinted in a recent letter that he would have vetoed the day light saving time bill if he had known confusion would result. "Had I known private organiza tions and local government units would use this bill as an excuse to implement fast time without legal authority, I would have dealt otherwise with it," the governor said in a letter to Mrs. J. L. Ueadlce of Medford. The bill was passed by the re cent legislature, authorizing day light saving time in a five-county Portland area. Mrs. Headlee said she wrote the governor to protest the spread of daylight saving time beyond the five-county area. "It certainly was not anticipated (at least by me) that local organ izations and groups throughout the state would take it upon them selves to attempt to change the time in communities outside the five counties. Mrs. Headlee quoted the gover nor as replying that he hoped "to find a way to enforce standard time ... and to put the question on the ballot next spring." At Salem the governor denied he proposed a ballot vote next spring, and said only the legisla ture could put the issue on the primary ballot. The legislature is not scheduled to meet until 19C3. She also quoted the governor as saying: "This individual citizen action could and perhaps would have oc curred even without House Bill 1502. Time changes outside the five counties are without legal au thority and are in defiance of the new law as well as of the 1960 vote on the question. "No penalty is available to cor rect the situation. Court injunction might be an appropriate remedy under some circumstances," the governor wrote. The governor commented at Sa lem Tuesday, "It is clearly illegal for communities outside the Port land area to have daylight time. I'm staying out of it, but any citi zen who wants to can go to court." Oregon Medico! School; Receives Heart Grant PORTLAND (AP) The Pub lic Health Service in Washington, D. C, confirmed Tuesday that it had granted $5.6 million to the University of Oregon Medical School here for research on heart disease.

It be comes effective July 1. Gov. Mark O. Hatfield said of the grant: "Once again, Oregon's superior research talents have been recognisrd nationally, and the medical school has another as signment of the utmost import ance in its quest for reducing the ills of mai.kind." -Bright Sunshine Heralds Summer's Arrival In County Summer strode into Douglas County at 7:30 a.m. today to rule the weather picture until late September.

Hill-Burton Funds All bids will be transmitted to the regional office of the U.S. Pub lic Health Service in San Francisco for final approval.

Marquette, 26. He is accused of killing 24-year-old Mrs. Lawrence Caudle at his home the night of June 5. Police said her body was hacked into 20 pieces and part- of them distrib uter! throughout the - southeast Portland residential district in neatly wTapped packages. A massive search was conduct ed Tuesday in the Beaverton area southwest of Portland. A farm worker said he saw a shirtless man, wearing Levis, hiding in the wooded area behind the St. Mary's School for Boys. Police, aided by bloodhounds and a helicopter, searched throughout the afternoon but the man evaded them. Police later said they didn't think it was Mar quette because bloodhounds failed to pick up a trail after scenting clothing which had been brought from Marquette s house. At Seattle another search took place this morning. It also failed to turn up Marquette. Police, act ing on a tip that Marquette might be aboard a 'reight train arriving from Portland, checked the tram, the railroad yard and buses and cabs in the vicinity of the yard without success. Ashland To Return; To Standard Time; ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) Ashland merchants will return to standard time Thursday, ending three weeks of controversy. The Chamber of Commerce voted unanimously Tuesday io drop daylight saving time, which the chamber had voted into ef fect on June 1. Some of the community objected to the switch to daylight time. An Ashland realtor got signatures of 83 merchants last week on a peti tion he circulated for return to standard time. That led to recon sideration by the chamber. what kinder than spring had been. Spring displayed rather, erratic behavior presenting showers at in- fopporUine times and sunny spells ! when rains would have been wel j come. In a last burst of temper, real . izing her demise was at h a n d. ' spring turned the heat on the coun- ty last week setting record temper atures so residents wouldn t soon forget her. The past few days spring pre sented a milder mood with some overcast ?kies in the morning and, pleasantly warm afternoons. Several longtime residents oi' the; county arc watching summer outj of the corners of their eyes. The ' conditions prevalent at her arrival) are similar to those which existed; in past summers which left the; county panting for relief. j Other residents, on the other hand, ay summer's arrival today; in a rather pleasant mood, por-i tends a nice summer ahead. i Anyway, summer ,s here i $100,000 less than was contemplated originally, he states. The new building will replace the existing wooden portion of the hospital, built in 1905. The wooden structure served exclusively for hospital purposes for many years. In later years two fireproof wings were built to house all patient rooms. The wooden building ac commodated administrative of fices, surgery, receiving wards, and central supply. But the explo sion in Roseburg Aug. 7, 1959, dam aged the old building so severely that it was decided not to attempt repairs. It was abandoned, except for limited office space. Tempor ary surgeries and receiving wards were set up in the existing wings, greatly cramping the institution's facilities, Beliendorf reports. The new wing will contain four stories above a basement. It will house three modern surgeries, re covery room, doctor's quarters, pharmacy, central supply, emer gency receiving wards and other such facilities, together with a large and modern administrative unit. - 'Geriatrics Unit One floor will house a geriatrics department. The top floor will be made into quarters for the Sisters of Mercy. In addition to the grant made by the federal government, a public campaign earlier raised around $150,000. The Sisters of Mercy have made arrangements to borrow ad ditional sums. None of the money from the fed eral grant nor public contributions is to be used for the Sisters' quar ters, chapel, chaplain quarters or other than hospital purposes, ac cording to Sister Mary Noreen, Sister Superior. Cost of all religi ous phases of the building will be borne by the Order, she stated. Mercy Hospital, she pointed out, is a non-profit institution. All mon ey received from operating the hospital to date has gone into new construction and equipment. The project for which the bids were re ceived Tuesday will probably mort gage the property for the next 20 years. Heat Blamed For Rodeo Loss The Douglas County Rodeo As sociation had reason to hate last weekend's heat. After a string of successes in the pre-rodeo events, the rodeo it self proved to be a failure in the financial department. At an associ ation meeting Tuesday night, it was reported that all bills wer not in yet, but in any case, the 17th annual Douglas County Ro deo lost motmry. The members of the association agreed the reason for the poor at tendances on Saturday and Sunday apparently resulted from the in tense heat. Also feeling glum about the poor attendances was the YMCA, which was to receive benefits from two-day show. The rocteo asseciu lija will mst with th YMCA board of directors later to report the result. Fred Boyer, treasurer of the ro deo association, said the losses at the gate were particularly discon: certing because the Pioneer Days events preceding the rodeo had been so successful. He said only one event in Pioneer Days had not materialized. This was the square dance which had been planned. The parade was one of the best in the history of the ro deo, Dover said, and the Booster Button Show rrrday night was a rousing success. He said it was the event which saved the associ ation from disaster. Boyer estimated losses may to tal more than a thousand dollars when all bills are in. NEW CHIEF LeRoy Seibold Tuesday was appointed Rose- burg's new fire chief to re-! place Don Stormer, who has taken a new position in Sani Francisco. Seibold was boost-; ed up to the top job after having held the post of bat-; talion chief for two years.

(News Review Photo) Longshore Official Threatens To Seek Strike-Ending Injunction From Kennedy NEW YORK (API-Growing dis content over a strike by seafaring unions led today to a New York port work stoppage by longshore men and a threat by one of their top officials to ask President Ken nedy for a strike-crding injunc tion. Tony Anastasio, longshore union boss on the Brooklyn waterfront, said If other officials of his union didn t request such an injunction from Kennedy he would. Anas tasio is a union vice president. William V. Bradley, president of the International Longshoremen s Association and Thomas Gleason, chief organizer, were not imme diately available for comment. However, the union already had ordered members to quit work to day, apparently in an effort to force the striking maritime unions to clarify their demands in a situ ation that has led to great confu sion. The action caused a virtual pa ralysis in operations of the vast New York harbor, already hard hit as a result of the sweeping national strike. Anastasio said: "We believe we cannot support the strike. Fifty per cent of our men are working and 50 per cent are out." Up to their walkout today, the ILA members had continued to load and unload foreign vessels not affected by the maritime strike. Anastasio also complained that even among the striking seafarers many had remained aboard tied up ships "and get paid and we stay out and don't get paid." ILA members were called upon Canadian Dollaf Drops On Exchange NEW YORK (AP) The Canadi an dollar dipped to 97 1 -i cents in U.S. funds in early foreign ex change trading today the lowest level since revaluation of the Ca nadian dollar in February 1932. The sharp drop from Tuesday's close at par followed the Canadi an government's announcement of plans to push its dollar to a "sub stantial" discount through Bank of Canada purchases of U.S. dol lars. The Canadian dollar has been at a premium of as much as 6 cents in recent years, although it was at a discount from the U.S. dollar before 1952. The 1951 low, for example, was 93.18 cents. Its value has dipped below par at times in recent days, but has closed at par each day. Elkton Voters Approve School District Budget Only one school district now re mains without an approved budget for the 1961-62 srhool year. Correspondent .Mrs. C. W.

The Maritime Port Council of Greater New York then called for a work stoppage by its 27 unions so members could attend a rally after the ILA meeting. ILA officials said they were confused by the inter-union by play and li lack of clear-cut issues' Kennedy Gets Dog From Khru WASHINGTON (AP) President Kennedy has received a dog named Pushinka from Soviet Pre mier Khrushchev. Pushinka, a white fluffy pup with brownish spots, is of no par ticular breed. But she has a cele brated mother Strolka, whom the Soviets put in orbit around the earth and recovered last August.
