(Bob Leber) Skopje A New SKOPJE, Yugoslavia (UPI) Disaster relief poured into devas tated Skopje from all over the world today but the once-bustling city was gripped by the fear of a new threat disease. Rescue workers searched with growing urgency in the rubble left by one of the worst earth quakes in the country's history.

POT - ,S, Survivors Face ThreatDisease Officials feared the final toll from the earthquake, which struck with deadly suddenness early Friday, might pass 1,500 dead with many thousands more injured. Rescue workers hoped to save any injured still trapped in the ruins of the city, but the chances dwindled with every passing hour. A French army rescue team equipped with special detection apparatus reported Monday night that they heard no more voices from under the rubble. A U.S. Embassy spokesman in Belgrade said that officials were checking reports that the body of a U.S. Air Force sergeant and his wife were removed from the ruins of the Macedonia Hotel. This miss ing couple was identified as Staff Sgt. Harold R. Stacy of Gouver- some aspects of U.S. policy. But the differences were far narrow er than those that came out in his last press conference Jan. 14. At that time, he vetoed Britain's bid for Common Market member ship and rejected Kennedy's offer of Polaris nuclear missiles. Monday, De. Gaulle rejected the Demo Solon Objects To JFK's Rail Plan WASHINGTON (UPI) A Democratic congressman charged today that President Kennedy's plan for settling the rails dispute eventually would mean nationaliza tion of the nation's railroads. "To me, this is only the start," said Rep. Ilarlcy Staggers of West Virginia, a member of the House Commerce Committee. The group is considering Kennedy's plan to let the Interstate Commerce Com mission (ICC) settle the thorny work rules issue which is the core of the dispute. A Republican committee mem ber joined Staggers in denounc ing the President's proposal. Rep. John Bennett, Mich., said if Con- of nuclear free zones Africa.

Between noon Sunday and 8 am., Monday, 10 persons were rescued alive from the debris, in cluding 16-year-old Lence Navmov ski, her mother and her brother. They had been buried for 79 hours when pulled out. The official Tanjug news agency said a survey indicated that only 9,639 apartments throughout the city were still habitable. It said a total of 34,365 apartments were either destroyed or damaged be yond repair.

Khrush chev's plans for a non-aggression pact: "France does not appreciate assimilation of the Atlantic alli ance and Communist slavery." gross enacted the legislation "we'd be doing a great disservice to the future of free collective bargain ing." Bennett voiced doubt that all avenues of collective bargaining had been exhausted in the dis pute a point also advanced by the rail unions. Staggers said Kennedy's plan amounted to compulsory arbitra tion and would lead to further steps in the same direction. "Then you are going to nation alize the industry as they did in England, he declared. The statements by Bennett and Staggers were the first clear-cut expression of committee members since hearings on the proposal began last Wednesday. Earlier, a top rail negotiator asked Congress to stay out of the rail dispute for the time being on grounds that recent collective bar gaining had been fruitful. Labor Secretary W.

Demo Leaders Claim Prospects Are Good For Treaty Support WASHINGTON (UPD-Senate Democratic leaders told President Kennedy today that the outlook is "excellent" for getting "strong bi partisan support" on ratification of the partial nuclear test ban treaty. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., told newsmen following a weekly White House legislative conference that the U.S. test ban negotiator, Undersec retary of State W. Averell Harri man. made "a tremendous im pression" Monday during an ap pearance at a joint meeting of three Senate committees on the test ban treaty. As far as the senators could tell so far, Mansfield said, there are "no gimmicks, no side issues" tied to the treaty. Senate ratifi cation by a two-thirds vote is needed before U.S. participation in the three-power agreement can become final. While Mansfield indicated Har riman's explanation of the treaty was impressive, a good many sen ators still were withholding a fi nal commitment on whether they would vote for ratification. They wanted to get a better sampling of the opinions of the folks back home. Indicate Broad Support Briefings given by Harriman and other administration spokes men Monday to congressional committees indicated broad sup port for the pact in the House as well as the Senate, Mansfield said, and he was more optimistic than many other senators that ratification would come fairly fast. "We informed the President I But he went out of his way to emphasize that, despite obvious disagreements, relations between 'the United States and France are based on "friendship and alii ance " Officials here interpreted this as a broad hint that he leeis ine time has come for talks with Kennedy, with the groundwork starting through diplomatic chan nels and working up to a possible visit to Washington. (European reaction to De Gaulle's statements followed pre dictable lines. Moscow Radio Monday night denounced his re jection of the test ban treaty as "absurd and foolish." Pravda said today that De Gaulle "more than once had recourse to slander the Soviet Union" in his remarks. (British Foreign Secretary Lord Home said Monday night that De Gaulle did no more than had been expected of him in turning down the nuclear agreement. ("We have always recognized ourselves this agreement would present a particular problem for Krance, nc saiu, uecause ui ii "betwixt and between" position in the nuclear arms race.) Mark Issues New Lumber Strike Plea SALEM (UPI) Citing forest fire dangers, Gov. Mark Hatfield made a new appeal Monday for settlement of the lingering lumber labor dispute. At the meeting of the State Nat ural Resources Committee, the governor called for labor and ", jna'cm "1 management to get together to end the spreading lumber labor industry shutdown. Hatfield said the strike-lockout could have a disastrous effect on the state's largest natural re sourcetimber. He explained that the manpower needed to fight forest fires is now dispersed and it would be difficult to get together if a blaze broke ! out. Logging and mill crews form I a substantial part of the state's State Forester Dwight Phipps predicted there would be more forest closures than ever this year as a result of the big Columbus i Day blowdown, which has not yet been cleaned up i-iiimiw utnuira m mi r ' with permits to enter, will be "enforced more stringently than 'ever." ! He said conditions are now nearing a critical point and may ; remain mere uniu uci. i. There have been 264 fires in ! state-protected forests this year, i with 173 listed as man-caused and 91 started by lightning. A total of ! 1.200 acres has been burned. The biggest single loss wis about 700 acres of grass and brush near I Baker. that the chances for Strang bi partisan ratification of the treaty are excellent and that we expect ed the ratification would como as soon as possible," Mansfield told newsmen after the regular Tues day breakfast meeting of Demo cratic House and Senate loaders with Kennedy. Mansfield said Kennedy ex pressed hope for "penetrating and fruitful" Senate debate on the treaty. Goldwaf er Says Non-Aggression Pact Is Stupid NEW YORK (UPI) Sen. Barry M. Goldwutcr, It-Ariz., Monday warned of the futility of a non aggression pact with Russia and said such an agreement would be sheer stupidity. Goldwater, regarded as a top contender for the GOP presiden tial nomination next year, made the comment during an address here at the annual convention of the Beauty and Barber Supply In stitute. Goldwater referred to specula tion that such an agreement would be sought if the test ban treaty signed in Moscow were rat ified by the United States Senate. On the subject of the test ban pact itself. Sen. Goldwater insist ed he was maintaining an "open mind" before deciding whether to vote for ratification. Previously, he was reported opposed to the treaty. He stressed the treaty would not prevent a nuclear war and called the pact "valueless" in view of the announced intentions of France' o'nd' Communist China to continue nuclear tests. Goldwater said he probably would make up his mind on rati fication when the Joint Chiefs of Staffs take a position on the mat ter, adding that "the attitude of the military is most important." He was critical of the new treaty because of its failure to ban underground testing, and he said tin's would give the Soviets an opportunity to continue secret testing. The treaty calls for a ban on testing in the atmosphere, out er space and under water. Bursts Of Gunfire Startle Residents On Rose Mountain Activities of the National Guard aren't limited to classroom study and Armory drills. People in the Rose Mountain area north of Itoscburg and Kelley's Cor ner south of Koscburg can attest to that. Despite efforts to inform all peo ple in the areas involved, bursts of gunfire startled some. Actually, the gunfire was the re sult of a well-planned and coordin ated problem to test the mettle of Company II, 2nd Battalion, 162nd Infantry of Hoseburg. The company has about W men. The practice involved war man euvers in which squads were a! legedly in an enemy country where no natives could be trusted. The enemies in the mock battles were guerrillas (also National Guards men). The company was organized in tl o tactical training problem into patrols and given different mis. sions both as guerrillas and anti guerrilla patrols. eventually their paths crossed and fighting developed. Patrol leaders were given considerable latitude in how they handled the combat. The men were armed with M l rifles loaded with blank ammuni tion and some pyrotechnics. The first group left the Armory about 7:30, and the remaining ones left at intervals until 8:10. All were due back at the Armory at 9:30. Other problems around the Hose burg area will be worked out and run at later dates, reports 1st Lt. (Holland I). Davis. He said the exercises are in tine with the training being conducted at the Armory during the year and which will be conducted dur- ; jng summer camp the last of Au- (,, "NO INFORMATION" NEW DELHI, India (LPI)-A spokesman for the Foreign Office said Monday it had "no informa tion" on an Indian press report that Chinese Communists have stationed 2,000 planes in Tibet. 1 SEN. BARRY M. GOLDWATER, (R-Ariz.), ponders o re porter's question after arriving at the annual convention of the Beauty and Barber Supply Institute Monday. Sen. Goldwater warned of the futility of a non-aggression pact with Russia and said such an agreement would be "sheer stupidity." (UPI Telephoto) Lumber Unions Plan Strike Move Against By United Press International Northwest lumber unions laid plans to spread their strike against members of the Timber Operators Council today, while one independent firm wus struck ana another threatened with a walkout. , "The Liimner am?
