(UPI Telephoto) President Keeps Close Vigil Over Son In Boston Hospital By ALVIN SPIVAK BOSTON (UPI) President Kennedy's ailing day-old son en countered "increasing difficulties" from a breathing problem today and blood tests were ordered to determine the extent of danger to the infant. President Kennedy hurried back to Boston from Cape Cod six hours before he had planned to see the child and consult further with physicians after young Patrick Bouvier Kennedy's condition was reported to him. Fifteen minutes after the grim faced President had gone to the fifth floor of the Children's Medi cal Center here to see the child and the doctors. While House press secretary Pierre Salinger issued this statement: W.

Stale Dean Rusk flew here from Leningrad today and almost im mediately left for Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's Black Sea villa for further talks on ways to ease the cold war. Rusk spent a day in Leningrad, the former czarist capital, and will stay overnight in Gagra on the Black Sea coast as the guest of the vacationing premier. Foreign Minister Andrei Gro m yko was joining Rusk and Khrushchev for the talks, which were begun Tuesday by Rusk, Gromyko, and British Foreign Secretary Lord Home. Home flew to Helsinki today to report to Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, who is visiting Fin land, on the talks and on the signing of the partial nuclear test ban treaty. All three foreign ministers pledged the treaty would be "only a beginning to a settlement ot East-West tensions. The Soviet Union today ar ranged ceremonies for the sign ing of the treaty by other na tions, expected to include the en tire membership of the Soviet bloc. Other signings were taking place in London and Washington. Diplomats said Rusk's trip to Leningrad provided a convenient break in the talks so that the secretary could brief Washington fully on their first phase and re ceive instructions from President Kennedy for their second. Khrushchev's five-point "peace package" was expected to be the central theme of the Black Sea talks, particularly the two points calling for an East-West non-aggression treaty and measures to prevent surprise attack. U.S. sources said there are greater hopes for progress on the surprise attack measures than on the non-aggression pact. Khrush chev wants the pact to bind NATO and the Communist War saw treaty alliance. But the West Germans fear the pact would mean recognition of Communist East Germany, and France opposes it on these and other grounds. Full NATO ap proval would be required before the pact could go into effect. Probe Continues In Mystery Death Of Cattle Heiress PORTLAND (UPI) Investiga tion continued today into the mys terious death of wealthy Payette, Idaho, cattle heiress Irene E. Davis, 41, whose body was found in her Hilton Hotel suite Tuesday with a nylon stocking around her neck. Police planned to question per sons who were reported to have lust seen her alive. The body was found by a maid in a half-filled bathtub. Authorities said there were no signs of a struggle in the hotel room. The coroner's office listed cause of death as "asphyxiation by strangulation." Detectives said nothing was missing from the room. There were some $300 in traveler's checks in her purse. She was last reported seen alive about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday leaving a rooftop bar and restaurant. Po lice said they had made arrange ments to talk to two men who had been customers at the bar. They did not identify the men. She was the daughter of the u'e Gus Davis, a wealthy Idaho and Eastern Oregon cattle ranch er. India Signs Test Treaty MOSCOW (UPI) India today became the first non-nuclear na tion to sign the partial nuclear test ban treaty concluded by the United States, Diitain and the So viet Union. Indian Ambassador T.N. Kaul affixed his signature to the his toric pact as representatives of 22 other nations including Com munist East Germany gathered here for the same purpose. "We hope and pray that all governments will subscribe to what may be described as a hu man charter," Kaul said. The signing took place in the yellow-walled Spiridonovka Pal ace where the treaty was nego tiated. So far, only six countries have adc known their opposition to; m the pad, which is open to all na- I tions in ceremonies in Moscow Lon- don, and Washington, the three powers were opening the treaty Nuclear To Start WASHINGTON (UPI) The treaty ending all but underground nuclear testing in a "first step" toward world peace goes to the U.S. Senate today. Spokesmen for both parties said senators hud "no other choice" but to ratify it. President Kennedy said he would send the treaty and a spe cial message to the Senate as planned despite the fact that complications surrounding the birth of a child to Mrs. Kennedy Wednesday necessitated his re maining in Massachusetts. About 30 nations were set to sign the U.S. - British - Russian treaty in day-long ceremonies in Washington. Other nations were expected to. sign in London or Moscow. About (SO nations nave advised that they plan to sign the agreement as charter mem bers. But the focus of the world's at County To Get $3.7 Million In O&C Funds Again this year. Douglas County led the list of the 18 Western Ore gon counties in collection of O&C timber sales rebates. The Bureau of Land Manage ment reports Douglas County re ceived S3.744.352.02. It was a slight decrease from lf62 when payments totaled $3,886,974.07. This has been reported as primarily due to a decline in the market value nf Inmhnr. The 18 counties shared in $15 million in O&C sales receipts dur ing the fiscal year lust emiea The total $15,031,270.47 was 50 per cent of- the gross- revenues ol .tu, 002,540.93 received from tho sales on O&C lands owing me year, BLM receipts totaled $26,011,535.51, while Forest Service receipts were $4,051,005.42. The revenues from timber sales from all of tiie O&C lands are deposited in one fund. Under the law, 75 per cent of all receipts arc allocated to the 18 counties. of this amount, one third is re turned to the U.S. Treasury and is then appropriated by congress for construction of access roads, reforestation, etc., in the O&C lands. During the past fiscal year, this amount was $7.5 mil lion. The O&C lands were originally oart of the grant of nublic lands made to the Oregon Central Rail road Companies (later the Ore con and California Railroad Co.) to aid in the construction of rail roads. They were later forfeited and returned to tne icaerai gov crnmcnt by revestmcnt of title Fire Conditions Worsening Today Bv United Press International Forestry officials warned today that fire danger conditions in Ore gon are worsening and that the northwest part of the state would be getting its warmest and driest weather of the summer in the jicxt few days. Possibilities of ligntning in Southern and Eastern Oregon added to the threat. The Todd Canyon fire, which covered about 1,000 acres near La Grande, was reported in "pretty good shape" by State Forestry of ficials today. They said the blaze had been trailed after high winds Wednesday caused new troubles. Four small new blazes were quickly controlled on state land Wednesday. The largest of three blazes in the northeast district was held to four acres. One small fire was brought under control in the Lobster Valley district of Western Oregon. The U.S. Forest Service report ed a 160-acre fire in the Umatilla National Forest, some 15 miles northwest of La Grande, was fought by 80 men Wednesday night. It was expected to be con trolled touay. Hopeful Signs Appear PORTLAND (UPI) There were hopeful signs in the Northwest lumber strike picture today. Progress was reported in nego tiations between the struck Georgia-Pacific Corp. and union officials; the Eig Six and two striking unions scheduled a re sumption of talks, and workers continued to report back at previ ously locked Big Six plants. In balem, Gov. Mark llatticld said he was continuing informal idiivs vwiii uiiiii mucs aiiu wun "optimistic further agreements will be made before the week is out."

Leader Hubert Humphrey, who was one of six senators attending the treaty signing in Moscow, told a reporter he is more convinced than ever that "80 or more" sen ators will vote for the pact. More significant was the esti mate of Senate GOP campaign chairman Thruston B. Morton, Ky., who forecast a vote of 79 to 15 with no more than six tie publican votes in opposition. He said he would anticipate about six absentees. Morton, asserting that there was "no other choice" but rati fication, thus wined out any be lief that Republicans concerned about possible Soviet cheating on the pact might raise serious throat to its approval. The Republican campaign chief made it clear there would be no political mileage for any party in trying to block the treaty even though probing questions will be asked to safeguard the luture, Humphrey, who is the Senate's disarmament chairman, said he is convinced the "doubts that nennln have will be slowly dissi pated" by testimony in behalf of the treaty. i Secretary of State Dean Rusk Haiti Exile Invasion In Doubt ' SAN'TO ilOMINGO; Dominican Republic (UPI) The outcome of an invasion of Haiti by about :ion riniuan exiles remajueu m doubt today.

"It was terrible," said a wit ness, Mrs. Margaret Parmclec, who said she watched the car smashed two of the young vic tims into the side wall of a shop where she worked. The auto crashed through a plate glass window of the building. All I heard were screams," she said. "One little girl was sit ting on the sidewalk, crying, and there were two children lying un der all the broken glass and bricks." Killed were Darlene Vauglt, 11, and sisters Dotsy, 8, and Debbie, daughters ot Mr. and Mrs Walter Vaugh.

(UPI) Con struction crews on northern Cal ifornia s Oroville Dam project can't wait to get their eight hours of dam building in these days so they can really go to work. The workers are spending lunch hours, evenings and weekends digging through the area with ev erything from picks and knives to tweezers, spoons and stones. Gold fever has returned to the Sierra, which in the mid-1800's bad one of the greatest epidemics of all time. The latest strike occurred when the Oroville River was turned from its old channel into a man- made one several weeks ago, and crews started clearing gravel from the natural river bed in or der to pour concrete onto the bedrock beneath. Bits of gold were discovered in the river bed, and off-duty work ers now are coming away with as much as a few ounces a man (at $35 an ounce) in gold dust, to chips and tiny nuggets. The construction company, Oro Dam Constructors, and the state of California, which owns the mineral rights, frown on the min ing activity. But, a spokesman for tho com pany said, "You can't stop cm."

England (UPI) An armed gang of 20 to . 30 masked bandits staged a rob bery that may have been the big gest in history today when they looted an unguarded train of cash and gems estimated at al most $3 million. The robbers staged their Wild West-typo raid with snlit- second precision in the middle of the night and made their getaway with 120 mail sacks containing currency and diamonds from the Glasgow-to-London train. Polico searched this region north of London, but found no trace of tho holdup gang that operated in Jesse James style and fled in three trucks and a passenger car. The post office offered a $28,. 000 reward for them and esti mated that the loot may well run into seven figures which would make it at least one million pounds, or $2.8 million. No Guard Aboard no guards aboard the train which was a "traveling post office" with about 75 postal employes aboard. The spokesman said there never wero guards on these trains, since it was felt the large force of mail sorters normally was sufficient to keep watch. Following the robbery extra se curity precautions were expected to be taken at once to guard the night post offico train from Lon don - to - Glasgow. A spokesman said it was unlikely any guards on tonight's train would carry firearms, since it is a British policy not to arm policemen or other security men on pub lic duty. .Because of tho severe penalties for harming a police man the underworld usually com mits its crimes without carding lueurius. iiui mat principle has Deen supping recently, and to day's bandits apparently used a gun. The gang halted the train, over came tho engineer and fireman, uncoupled tho engine and first two' cars, and moved them a mile down the tracks. Then they quick ly swept up izu mail sacks and made their getaway in three army-style trucks and a passen ger car. So swiftly and smoothly did llm gang work that about 751 post of fice employes, all but four in the rear cars, were unaware of tho robbery until it was over. The incident took placo near this Buckinghamshire town it) miles north of London about 3:10 a.m. in a fashion as spectacular as any of the great train robber ies pulled off in the days of tho desperadoes of the American West. In commenting on the amount of loot, the post office said an accuralo figure depended on a complete check but that the loss "may well run into seven figures" which would make it at least a million pounds sterling, or $2. 800,000. The biggest mail robbery in his tory occurred on Cape Cod, Mass., on Aug. 14, 1962, when a bandit gang seized $1,551,277 from a U.S. mail truck. The biggest cash haul before that was the Brinks robbery in Boston, Mass., on Jan. 17, 1950, when a holdup gang made off with a total of $2,775,395 $1,218,211 in cash. Most of the Brinks robbers have been killed or captured and jailed. Tho Cape Cod robbers still have not been caught. Obviously well-planned,- the rob bery went off with split - second precision. It was the first attack on an all-mail train, or traveling post office, in the 125 years of their history in Britain. First, the robbers jumped the signalman on that section of the line and set the block signals at danger, bringing the mail train to a halt three miles from Leighton Buzzard. When the fireman, David Whit by, 26, climbed down from the cab of the dicscl engine to in vestigate, he was attacked and overcome by two of the bandits. The engineer. Jack Mills, 3j, then was seized. The robbers swiftly and expert ly uncoupled the engine and first two mail cars, and forced Milli at gunpoint to iirive them a mile down tho track to whero their compatriots were wailing. There, Whitby and Mills were handcuffed together.
