weight down the body, have been
identified as a type used frequent

long, 7 14 inches wide, having
12 cone-shaped depressions 1 116
inches deep and weighing 4 pounds,

were either kept by the owner as
antiques or were taken from an
abandoned mining operation at or
just prior to the death of the child.
Jackson County authorities are
still attempting to unravel the mys

child. The body was discovered

six months.

Africans Aim Political Guns At Portugal
I X1TED NATION'S. N Y. (UPI)
Black. Africa readied its diplo
matic power today for a. cam
paign to force Security Council
discipline of Portugal and South
Africa.
Portugal's policies in its over
seas territories and South Afri
ca's practice of racial separation
or apartheid shared the
agenda of the council session
summoned this afternoon at the
request of .32 African countries,
the continent's entire U.N. mem
bership except for South Africa.
The Portuguese problem was
scheduled to ' be dealt with first.
But interest centered on the
South African racial situation,
which brought demands for an
arms and oil embargo, enforced
by a blockade, if necessary, and
hints that a formal move might
be made for South Africa's ex
pulsion from the United Nations.
South Africa, whose Prime
Minister Henryk F. Vorwoeid has
hinted that his government might
quit the United Nations, will not
be present officially at the coun
cil meeings, which are expected
to run two weeks to a month. Its
delegation will be represented
only as an observer.
But Portugal, whose Premier
Antonio Oe Olivcira Saluzar has
said his country could well be the
first member to leave the United
Nations, sent Foreign Minister
Alberto Franco Nogueira to par
ticipate in the debate.
The ' Africans, following the
mandate of the recent Addis
Ababa conference, designated
three foreign ministers to present
their arguments against Portugal
and South Africa. Mongi Slim of
Tunisia, a former General 'As
sembly president, J. Rudolph
Grimes of Liberia and John Ka-refa-Sinart
of Sierra Leone have
been in consultation with other
delegates for more than a week.
U.S. Ambassador Adlai E.
Sevenson cut short a European
trip to return for the council ses
sion. His first step was to discuus
the situation at s White House
policy session and his second to
impress on Slim, Grimes and Ka-refa-Smart
that the United States
strongly opposes a move to expel
South Africa.

S.E? s big
lift for Oregon
s economy in
1. $11,500,000 for 1,150 new flat cars, being built in Oregon
primarily for movement of finished lumber and other Oregon forest, products. Builder of these
53-foot-long cars is Gunderson Bros. Engineering Corp., Portland. Initial 400-car order is
currently being delivered. Remaining 750 cars will be placed in service during the next sev
eral months.
2. Conversion of 750 standard box cars to wide-door design
for shipments of Oregon plywood. The new 10-foot doors on these 40-foot-long cars permit
fast mechanical loading and unloading. Diagonal door striie codes cars for immediate return
to Oregon. .
3. Another 500 double-door box cars, added to s.p.'s wid e-rioor fleet in
1962, and now assigned to Oregon service for hauling plywood and packaged lumber. Like
the newly converted wide-door box cars, these 50-foot-long, "yellow door" cars say, "Send
me back to Oregon."
4. 1,300 new "king-sized" Hydra-Cushion box cars being delivered
to S.P. this summer and fall, are well suited for carrying paper, canned goods, and other
Oregon products needing extra protection. These new 60-foot cars can carry twenty percent
more freight than 50-foot box cars.
5. New "floating-load" tie-dOWn technique can speed loading and reduce
shipping costs for other forest products besides finished lumber. Here, twenty huge rolls of
paperboard ride secure and protected on one of S.P.'s new 63-foot, Oregon-built flat cars.
These latest additions to the Southern Pacific freight fleet arc part of S.P.'s expanded, multi-million
dollar program to provide Oregon industries with the special equipment they need to move Oregon
products to market. Moreover, the stepped-up order for flat cars represents a significant contri
bution to Oregon's economy, both in dollar volume and in use of Oregon materials and manpower.
Overall, these new S.P. equipment purchases boost Southern Pacific's expenditures above $187
million for more than 19,000 new freight cars in the past six years.
