(UPI Telephoto) Hopes Dim Dispute On WASHINGTON (UPI) Hopes were dampened today for ending a five-month House-Senate dispute that has blocked enactment of a single money bill by Congress this year. The rival appropriations com mittees of the House and Senate apparently failed to make any headway at a meeting aimed at reaching a truce in their dispute over procedure for handling joint conference sessions. Other developments: Estes Chairman John McClel lan said testimony before his Sen ate Investigations Subcommittee demonstrated inadequacy of cer tain machinery within the Agricul ture Department. He said failure of agriculture officials on Okla homa to notify Texas officials about suspected irregularities in Billie Sol Estes' cotton allotments before they were approved, showed there was "a breakdown in the whole procedure here." Highways Rep. William Cra mer, R-Fla., accused Democratic colleagues on a House Highways Investigating Subcommittee o f concentrating on West Virginia's former Republican administration jn an inquiry into the state's road building practices. Acting sub committee chairman Jim Wright, D-Texas, told Cramer he resented what he said were insinuations as to the integrity of the committee and its investigators. Wright de nied any partisanship in the in quiry. Depressed Areas Sen. Clair Engle, D-Calif., wrote Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges to pro test designation of any section as a depressed area without prior consultation with local officials. Engle noted that in some cases the communities or areas involved do not want "to lie down and be depressed."

O 16 Scientists Unruffled Established 1873 Two-Way Telephone Conversation Due Via Telstar Sphere NEW YORK (UPI) Ameri can Telstar scientists, unruined by French-British one-upmanship in space, today planned to relay the first "true" transatlantic tel ephone conversations via the tiny, orbiting sphere.

Ivan Edwards, Democratic can didate for the post of county com missioner in the upcoming general election, made a request for funds for a juvenile work camp. He cited the work camp conduct ed by Lane County last year in making his request. Judge V. T. Jackson, heading the County Court, said the Court had looked into the matter and as yet was not thoroughly sold on the camD. He said no funds, conse quently, had been set aside for the camp in tne new Duagci. The Court made no turiner com' mnnt on the request. No other objections to the budget were heard. The budget was men adopted by the Court. The public hearing was of short duration. The new budget provides $3,780,- 670.20 for the General tuna ana $5,290,708 in the Road iuno. tx nected revenue for the General Fund other than taxes is $3,105,- 010.20 and for the Road iund is $5,290,708.

State Road Mishaps Claim Three Lives By United Press International Two men and a woman died in Oregon highway accidents Thurs day night and early today. Martha Elizabeth Clark, 62, Portland, died after a three-car crash this morning between Port land and Milwaukie. Police said she might have suffered a heart attack. James W.

OREGON French minister of post and tele communications. A British official also will converse with the An dover, Maine station. The feasibility of the calls was proved Thursday night when the Britons, still simmering over a French first in sending television to the United States, broke into technical tests on the 24th orbit and made telephone contact with AT&T men at Andover. Their gallic counterparts drew abreast on the next orbit when they also reached Andover by telephone. American officials co operated tolerantly in both exper iments. The transatlantic callers said "How do you do?" and "Do you hear me?" to each other, matching in oratorical power the historic first sentence uttered over the telephone, in 1876. At that time Alexander Graham Bell bellowed a command along the wires to an assistant in the next room: "Mr. Watson, come here. I need you.' Technicians said both of Thurs day nights unscheduled calls were successful. The British "first" helped to atone for a French coup of Wednesday night, when a taped program from Paris featuring Yves Montand and chanteuse Mi chele Arnaud was beamed into American living rooms during the Telstar's 15th orbit. , The enraged Britons struck back with their own show during the 16th orbit. Thursday night, reports of tech nical difficulties with the satellite were circulating. AT&T said the trouble was "minor" and con cerned "signals from remote mi- nitrack stations to the satellite." Russia Could Jam Telstar Broadcasts WASHINGTON (UPI)- Russia, if she wanted to, could jam com munications via America's Telstar satellite. But experts of the American Telephone & Telegraph Co., which owns Telstar, and the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis tration (NASA), which launched it, can't see any reason why any body would want to go to the ex pense and trouble of interfering with the little satellite's business. They need communications as much as we do," a telephone com pany spokesman said, adding that Telstar "is nothing to make war over." One expert said that "anything man can do, man can wreck." But he said to jam Telstar an other country would have to pos sess ground stations similar in cost and complexity to Andover. Even this might not be com pletely successful. The best way to render Telstar completely hors de combat, incapable of communi cating with any ground station, would be to put up rival satellites close by to swamp it with con flicting signals, a NASA source said. Friday 13th Lucky Day For Two Local Mothers At least two Douglas County residents will be especially fond of black cats, broken mir rors and other items of bad luck. Today at Mercy Hospital two little ones made their way into the world, unsuspecting that today is Friday the 13th. A new member was added to the ranks of the News-Review staff this morning, but it was expected that the time re quired to make him a full fledged reporter (or assistant editor) would be of long dura tion. The truth of the matter is, the new member is in the form of a bouncing baby hoy at about nine pounds born to Managing Editor George Cas tillo and his wife Shirley. He was born at 9:33 a.m. this morning. As a second thought, maybe Roseburg High School could use a new rigM tackle. The second little one Is a girl born to Gerald and Elaine Tripp, Roschurg. The girl was born at 10:20 a.m. M'4i Tripp will have the ad vantage of most girls in her age group. When it comes O me to attend dancing school, she can just visit her dad at his dance studio and pick up a few tips. Hospitals were expecting oth ers bojjre the 13th draws to a close.

The hot securities will turn into tickets to jail for anyone who tries to cash them in. Before authorities revealed they knew of the theft from the Wall Street brokerage firm of Bache Jc Co., two men allegedly tried to peddle some of the stocks and were caught. The stock certificate numbers were on file today at brokerage houses throughout the U.S. and chances are slim that holders of the stocks could sell them. The two men in custody con victed bookmaker Isidore Gorlit sky, 41, and Alan Louis Fisher, 55 had less than $90,000 worth of the stolen securities. A spokesman for Bacha laid that the certificates were nego tiable before they were stolen but that as soon as the theft came to light the brokerage firm In ef fect stopped payment on them much in the manner of a check. New certificates will roolace the stolen ones. Still missing are 1.800 shares of Du Pont: 2,400 of International Business Machines; 100 American Telephone and Telegraph; 100 General Motors; 500 Xerox, and 500 Polaroid. The stocks were taken about three weeks ago from Bache tc Co. vaults where more than $200 million in securities are stored. Police and FBI efforts now are concentrated on finding the "inside men" at Bache. A spokesman for the brokerage firm said it ap- peared the stocks could not have been removed without the aid of an employe. Gorlitsky, using the name Ed ward Adler, tried to cash his $60,000 worth of shares at Kessel man & Co., another Wall Street Drokerage firm, police said. . Fisher was arrested by FBI agents Wednesday in Denver when he tried to cash 300 shares at a brokerage house, i - Ailing Winston Churchill Reported Improving Today LONDON (UPI) - Sir Winston Churchill, a blood clot in his broken left leg and a bronchial infection in his chest, is coughing less and his temperature has re turned to normal, medical bul letin said today.
