Heart Attack Claims
Senate Crime Buster
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen.
Kstcs Kefauver, D-Tenn., former
farm boy whose lifelong dream
was to become president, died to
day of a massive heart attack.
The 60-year-old senator, with
the trademark of a coonskin cap.
who twice unsuccessfully sought
the Democratic presidential nom
ination, died "quickly and peace
fully" at nearby Bethesda, Md.,
Naval Hospital at 3:40 a.m. EDT
associates said.
Kefauver had entered the hos
pital late Thursday for treatment
of what at first was believed to
he a severe attack of indigestion.
Tests Friday brought a diagnosis
of a mild heart attack.
However, additional tests dis
posed that the condition was
more serious, even though Ke
fauver apparently experienced no
additional increase in pain. Doc
tors discovered that he had suf
fered a rupture of an inner wall
of the aorta, the main vessel
through which the heart pumps
blood to all parts of the body.
Before an operation could be
arranged to repair the damage,
a fatal rupture of the entire wall
of Ihe aorta occurred.
The death of Kefauver. who
never attained his presidential
ambitions but nevertheless won a
wide reputation as a senatorial
erimebuster and battler for other
causes, stunned leaders of Con
gress. Senate Democratic Leader
Mike Mansfield said it is "a very
big loss to the Congress." Repub
lican Leader Everett Dirksen
said he was very distressed at
the news.
The tall Tennesseean was elect
ed by a booming majority in I960
to a third Senate term in what
had been predicted as a close
race because of his votes for
some civil rights legislation. His
big win was correctly seen by
Democratic leaders as boding
good for their side in the subse
quent presidential elections.
Kefauver experienced bitter
Weekend Rail
Meetings Set
WASHINGTON (UPI) Gov
ernment mediators scheduled
weekend meetings in an effort to
settle the deadlocked railroad
work rules dispute.
Labor Secretary W. Willard
Wirlz met separately Friday with
heads of the engineers' and fire
men's unions in a determined
bid to see if the rail brotherhoods
would make additional conces
sions on the fireman issue.
Assistant Labor Secretary
James J. Reynolds conducted
bargaining between - the rail
road negotiators and representa
tives of the trainmen, conductors
and switchmen involved in the
dispute over crew sizes.
It was understood the two
groups meeting with Reynolds
were at an impasse in the nego
tiations. The Labor Department officials
are hoping to produce some pro
posal before Tuesday for consider
ation by the 156 general chair
men of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen.
This group was summoned to
Washington at Wirtz's request to
be on hand in case any agree
ment was reached.
A Labor Department spokes
man said Wirtz would meet to
day with the railroads, and Rey
nolds would confer with the five
unions involved at the same time.
There was no government com
ment on the day's sessions. But
chief management negotiator J.E.
Wolfe declared there was "abso
lutely no progress."
Unions have threatened a nation

put into effect Aug. 29.

Forest Fires
Severe lightning storms struck
lie Diamond Lake District of the
Umpqua National Forest Friday
causing at least two fires.
The first fire reported was four
miles north of Diamond Lake and
was brought under control before
covering more than a quarter of
an acre. The second fire was also
quickly controlled, reported Don
Tandy, Diamond Lake District
Ranger.
Tandy slated that two separate
storms hit the Diamond Lake Dis
trict Friday. The first struck at
1 p.m. and lasted two and a half
hours, with the second striking at
6 and lasting until 8, according to
Glide correspondent Mrs. Arthur
Selby.
The fire control officers and
crews of the Forest Service are on
alert because of the extreme fire
danger.
The Forest Service is planning
an air check of the area this morn
ing in anticipation of more light
ning strikes. Considerable rain ac
companied the lightning storm, and
officials report that fires may show
up for a period of a week or more.
More lightning is expected in the
Diamond Lake District tonight.
Meanwhile, tliree minor grass
fires, the largest covering three
acres, kept the Douglas Forest
Protective association crews busy
Friday.
Early Friday morning a call
was received from Melrose where
an electric fence was blamed for
starting a blaze four miles west of
Melrose. Th fire covered a quar
ter acre of grass and brush before
being controlled by the DFPA
crews. The Roseburg crew answer
ed the call.
Children playing wjith fire was
allegedly the cause of a three acre
grass fire three-quarters of a mile
north of Tenmile at noon. The Ten
mile Warden and the Roseburg
crew of the DFPA controlled the
blaze.
A third grass fire Friday was
caused by sparks from a mill burn
er just north of Glendale at 5:12
p.m. The small blaze was quick
ly doused by the Clines Creek crew
I of the DFPA after burning a tenth

inner rupture of the life - giving
"pipe" for blood from the heart.
His administrative assistant,
Charles A. Caldwell, said doc
tors felt Friday night an opera
tion was "clearly indicated" but
elaborate arrangements had to be
made.
These included having a stand
by "mechanical heart" available
to augment the work of the sen
ator's heart during the operation.
While the' arrangements were
being rushed for the operation to
repair the tissue wall of the
aorta, a break in the inner wall
of the vessel occurred, Caldwell
said, and this ruptured the entire
wall of the aorta.
"The senator died quickly and
peacefully," he said.
Kcfauver's wife Nancy arrived
with their two teen-age daughters

the senator died. She learned of
the death on arrival at the hos

had been vacationing at a ranch
in Sedalia, Colo., and rushed here
from Denver after being advised
of his illness.
Works Through College
Born in Madisonville, Tcnn.,
July 26, 1903, Kefauver attended
a one-room grade school there.
His father ran a hardware slore
and a farm.
Later, Kefauver worked his
way through the University of
Tennessee and the Yale Law
School.
The death of Democratic Rep.
Sam D. McRcynolds in 1938
cleared the way for Kefauver's
election to the House. He repre
sented his home congressional
district for 10 years before he
quit to run for the Senate.
In 1935 he married the attrac
tive, vivacious Nancy Pigott of
Glasgow, Scotland. She became
one of his most active and most
effective campaign workers.
They had four children, David,
Diane, Eleanor and Gail. All but
Eleanor are teen-agers.
3 Indicted
For Boycott
MACON, Ga. (UPI) A federal
grand jury has indicted three in
tegration leaders on charges they
conspired to run a white grocer
out of business because he voted
against a Negro in a civil rights
law suit.
Six other integrationists, all as
sociated with the Albany (deseg
regation) Movement, were
charged with perjury growing
out of the case, the Justice De
partment said Friday.
The indicttments were the first
of their kind in the national inte
gration struggle.
The Justice Department said
they grew out of organized pick
eting and a boycott of a grocery-
owned by Carl Smith, in the Ne
gro section of Albany, Ga.
Savs Business Lost
Smith charged that the boycott
by Negroes forced him out of
business. He closed nis grocery,
where he employed 15 Negroes,
and later sold it to a Negro.
Named in the indictments
charging conspiracy were Dr.
William G. Anderson, former
president of the Albany Move
ment, Robert William Colbert
and Luther Woodall Jr. They
were specifically charged with
obstructing justice.
Those charged in separate in
dictments with perjury were
Slater Hunter King, president of
the movement; Mrs. Elza Lcslye
Jackson, recording secretary;
Thomas Chatmon, Rev. Samuel
Wells, Robert Thomas and Miss
Joni Rabinowitz. AH were identi
fied with the Albany Movement.
Miss Rabinowitz, of New Ro-
chelle, N.Y., is a white woman.
Files Damage Suit
Smith voted against Negro
Charles Ware in a lawsuit
which Ware asked for $125,000
damages in a claim that Sheriff
L. Warren Johnson shot him alt
er his arrest on July 4, 1961.
The jury returned a verdict in
favor of the sheriff and each
juror was polled on his decision.
Following the decision, the in
dictment said Anderson, Colbert
and Woodall picketed Smith's
supermarket and urged shoppers
to boycott his store.

The militia said the state troops
were mustered during the Civil
War after all federal army units
were called back to the east coast
from the Northwest stations.
The enlistment bounty of $150
a man and the bonus pay was
authorized by the legislature at
the urging of army officials when
state authorities found it impos
sible to fill the recruiting quota
set by the war department.
Some 1.810 Oregon Militiamen
were stationed at posts in Ore
gon. Washington and Idaho be
tween 1861 and 1866. Although no
Oregon units ever participated in
campaigns against Confederate
Army troops, they played a key
role in suppressing Indian upris

Concerned Over
Kremlin Chats
BONN (UPI) Secretary of
State Dean Rusk flew here to
day from Moscow to reassure
apprehensive West German lead
ers that the United States will
protect their interests in its nego-
uuuuns wun me iiremun.
Rusk's special jetliner landed
here at 12:15 p.m. after a four-
hour flight from Moscow. The
secretary talked for 10 minutes
with Foreign Minister Andrei Gro-
myno just Delore leaving the So
viet capital, but neither man
would say what they discussed.
Rusk left the plane briefly dur
ing a 20-minute stopover in Copen
hagen, but did not talk to news
men. u.s. ambassador to Den
mark William M. Blair Jr. said
the secretary did not want la de
lay his departure.
The secretary told Foreign Min
ister Gerhard Schroeder, who met
him at the airport, that he would
give German officials a full re
port on his talks with Gromyko
and Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev.
"I am confident that the many
questions raised here will be
fully taken care of in these (Sen'
ale) hearings (on the recently
signed nuclear-test treaty), and
(hat they will be made a matter
of record," Rusk said.
The secretary will spend most
of the day and evening confer
ring with Foreign Minister Ger
hard Schroeder and Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer.
Economics Minister Ludwig Er
hard, who is slated to succeed
Adenauer in October, is expected
to sit in on Rusk's talks with the
chancellor.
Rusk comes here at the invita
tion of Schroeder, who is seeking
support for his argument that
West Germany ought to sign the
partial nuclear test-ban treaty
Schroeder wants Rusk to re
assure Adenauer that the Com
munists will be unable to use the
nuclear treaty to improve the in
ternational status of. Communist
East Germany.
Leaders of West Germany's
three major political parlies will
join Adenauer and Rusk at din
ner tonight.
Rusk returned Friday night to
Moscow from the Black Sea
Coast where he met Khrushchev
for talks which ranged over a
variety of problems.
Although Rusk said no conclu
sions were reached, Western dip
lomats said the secretary of
state gained the impression that
the Russians want to "in ark
