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."

Douglas County's record budget

071,378.20 was approved today by
the County Court during a public
hearing at 10 a.m.
The budget which has a new tax
base of $765,623.69, had pretty
clear sailing during the hearing in
the County Court Auditorium.
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,-

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. Clouser, 20, of Selma
was killed when nn motorcycle
collided head-on with a car on
U.S. Highway 199 three miles
north of Cave Junction. State Po
lice said the car, driven by 17-
year-old George H. Martin of
Cave Junction, had pulled out to
pass another auto on the two-lane
road.
Clouser was discharged from
the Army only recently.

ROSEBURG. 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.

2 Men Held
In 1.3 Million
Stock Theft
NEW YORK (UPI) - More than
$1,300,000 worth of stolen blue chip
stocks were sought by police to
day. 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

Official
Girl Found
Safe In Car
With Youth
SPOKANE (UPI) A savings
and loan company executive was
shot and killed here Thursday
night and his teenage daughter
abducted.
The girl was found safe about
two hours later in a car with a
youth, described by police as a
former high school sweetheart,
who they said verbally admitted
the slaying.
The dead man was W. Gordon
Fowle, 48, public relations direc
tor for Fidelity Savings and Loan
Association here.
He had gone to a radio station
to pick up his daughter Nancy,
18, as she finished a shift as night
switchboard operator.
Police Inspector Robert Piper
said Fowle was standing beside
his car when shots were fired by
someone crouched behind the ve
hicle. Bullets struck Fowle in
each wrist and he fell face down.
Piper said it appeared that
three more shots had then been
fired into his body. Five shells
from a .45 automatic pistol were
found nearby.
Piper said the assailant then
dragged Nancy into his car, which
had been parked across the
street, and sped off. Police Chief
Clifford Payne and Sgt. Jim
Haynes caught up with the car
and found Nancy "shaken up but
all right."
Piper said the youth driving the
car. Max Earl Markham, 20, Spo
kane, surrendered peacefully and
admitted the shooting.
Markham was either home on
leave from the Navy or recently
discharged from that service,
Piper said.
Piper said Fowle had reported
about a year ago that Markham
had entered his home and at
tempted to assault Nancy. At the
request of the family, the case
was not prosecuted.
