Observer, La Grande, Ore., Mon., Aug. 18, 1958 Navy Expert Says Russ May Have Nuclear Sub fc..A.JIWI t;i IV VI3IUI7 III Northern Skies This Week LONDON I UPD One of the world's best informed naval au thorities said today that the Rus sians will have an atomic subma rine soon if they do not already have one. The expert, who asked that he not be identified, said the Rus sians have had an atomic subma rine under development for some time. "It is a mistake to underesti mate the Russians in navy design or imagination,'' he said. "Any thing we can do, they can do." The Soviet Army newspaper Red Star hinted Friday that Russian submarines are capable of match- He Might Have Included Alaska GREENVILLE, Miss. IUPD Two states will have to contest the honor of being the native soil of a burglary suspect who was jailed here -Thursday. - The prisoner gave his name as Houston Texas Augustus Georgia. ing the ' epic' under-thc-Nortli-Pole voyage of the American atomic- powered submarine Nautilus. Red Star, referring to the Nau tilus voyage, said "naturally such a trip presents no problems with the present development of science and technology generally, and ship construction in particular." Observers said this is about as close as the Russians have come to hinting they have, or expect to nave soon, an atomic submarine.

State's Highway Rest Areas For Safety, Engineer Says SALEM (UPD State Highway Engineer W. C. Williams an nounced today that ' there had been considerable comment from both public and press relative to the Highway Commission's pro posed policy of constructing safe ty rest areas at limited points along the interstate highway sys tem. - In Oregon, the system consists of U.S. 99 and U.S. 30 from Port land east. , Williams said he felt that a statement of 'the national 1 policy in this regard might give the peo ple, a better understanding of the proposal. Anti-Rackets Bill Up For Vote Toddy 1 WASHINGTON MJPl) Conflict ing predictions about chances of the House passing the long-dor mant labor reform bill today came from congressional leaders. Rep. Charles A. Hallcck R Ind.l, former House Republican leader, expressed doubt the Senate-passed anti-rackets bill would gel even a simple majority vote. Democratic ladcr ohn W. Mc- Cormack (Mass.) announced to the House Friday night that the so called Kennedy-fves bill definitely would be called up for House ac tion today. The measure cleared the Senate bv an 80 to 1 vote June 17. :The bill will be considered un der a special procedure barring amendments, limiting debate to 40 minutes -and requiring a two third vote for approval. But Reps. George S. McGovern (D-S.D.) and Stewart L. Udall ID Ariz.) forecast that the bill would be passed when the showdown comes. McGovern, a member of the House Labor Committee, said today's vote would give House members their only chance this year "to go on record on labor reforms." "I don't see how members of either party can afford to vote against it," UdaH declared. iThe bill is an outgrowth of Sen ate Labor Rackets Committee hearings and is aimed at curbing abuses by union and management leaders. Its backers contend it would safeguard union funds and promote democratic practices. TOWN TAMER By FRANK CRUDER 1957 by Front Grtiber. Dutribukd bj NEA Unkt. If. THE STORY I 111 ley Condor. nnorn enemy of Tom Homier, a former mnrnhnl, known he' munt littvc Bonner killed or Homier will kill him; .Condor doen not know 4hnt Homier ham been hired by the rnllrond to tame the town of Ureal IMnfns. KVI V... . ... AT 7:30 in the evening Riley Condor came out of his office. He 'looked over the big room and saw Guy Tavenner preparing his faro layout. "Tavenner!" Tavenner looked up,, frowned, then rose and came across the room., "Yes, Riley." Condor took out his big gold watch' and looked at it. "Find your friend,. Tom Rosser " "He's no friend of mine." "Find him. anyway. At exactly 7:45 tell him to hurry over to the livery stable and take .. look at his horse." .,, Tavenner scowled. , "You could send one of the bartenders to do that." .... "I'm sending you." It was in Guy Tavcnner's mind to tell Riley Condor to do it him self, but his courage wasn't that big. He left the Pleasure Palace and clomped to the hotel. . Rosser was in the lobby, reading a St. Paul newspaper. It was still early and he went to his room and waited five minutes. Tavenner came into the lobby at 7:42 and went over to Rosser. ! "Better ,.get .over to the barn 'and look at that-horse of yours," Tavenner snapped! . . Rosser regarded him sharply. "Why?" "Because I'm telling you. And now!" : Rosser got to his feet, saw Susar. coming down the stairs. He hesitated, then turned and went out ot the hotel. , 1 -1 In the falling darkness he headed for the livery stable... He aupronched it, his hand swinging close to the butt of his revolver, There was a light on inside the stable ra dim lantern. ,:As .be stepped into the open doorway he saw by tho lantern.-light that a body was sprawled on the floor, The oldster who took care of the stable at night. ; It was a trap. : ,. ' ROSSER started to back away, Then a horse in a stall whick ered. A hoof stamped and a man swore angrily. It was in Alexan-agave up," he said, disappointed, der"s stall. Rosser's hand dropped to his gun A horse suddenly screamed a scream of terrible anguish. It continued to scream, although it was momentarily cut off as huge body thudded to the stable floor, Flon came out of the stall. Rossqr recognized him even in the ,dim light . . . Flon, holding a dripping knife in his hand. "Flon!" Rosser said hoarsely. "The big gunflghter," sneered FJon, starting toward Rosser. "I just fixed your horse-rhamstrung him." Deliberately, he threw away his knife. "Gonna fight me?" For one awful moment Rosser was sick, at his stomach, Then something seemed to explode within him. . He was. not even aware :that he drew his gun, that the explosion that, rocked ,the livery stable came from his gun. But Flon fas staggering. "You you shot me!" he gasped. Condor told me . . That was as much as he. got out. He fell forward on .his. face,, twitched once or twice, then lay still. People appeared in the livery stable behind Rosser. He was not even aware of them. He walked stiffly to the stall in which Alex ander lay. He saw what Flon had done to the magnificent animal and pointed his gun at the horse's hepd. Ue pulled the trigger twice, then came out of the, stall, . . j Joe Leach grabbed his arm. "Migawd," lie said. "You killed Flon!" "He crippled Alexander," Ros ser said dully. Leach looked into the stall, turned back, shuddering. "Man'd do a thing like that . . ." ;Johnny Honsinger came strid ing into the stable. His gun was in his hand. "Drop it, old man," h. cried. "Drop it, or try using it!" . . Rosser looked at the revolver hanging loosely in his hand. His eyes went up toward Honsinger, saw that the young gunflghter was tense, eager. He wanted to kill Rosser. .- Rosser let the gun fall from his hand. Honsinger came forward. "You Then his eyes fell on Flon's body. You killed him! " "I killed him," Rosser said. ."You're under arrest," cried Honsinger. "Throw up your hands. V - Moody did not like what he saw in the young marshal's eyes and come'toward Rosser. Better surrender, Tom," ho said ,q u i ck ly. "We'll get it straightened out later." Honsinger bared his teeth in n wicked grin. iVMan gets caught murdering somebody he general ly: gets straightened out at the end of a rope." ! .... RC 1SER dozed fitfully through the night. He heard mdvement in the other room, talk now and then- but no one opened the door to his cell. ... Finally, after an hour or more of the sun peeking into the room, the idoor was unlocked. Hon singer sang out, "Rise and shine. prisoner!" Then, "were on. our way 1 to court and if things go right you'll bo stretching rope before sundown." Rosser left the marshal's office. with- Honsinger following him closely. The street had only a few people on it. Rosser learned the reason as he approached the "court" building. A crowd stood outside and there were at least 50 people -inside; - - - (To He l.onunueu) ' The engineer said the. rest areas are : considered an essqntial , . part of the interstate system, which is designed to prevent accidents and reduce fatalities .-.., Most , fatalities are due ta..,hu-, man error, Williams said, and a substantial portion Is due to fa tigue, drowsiness and monotony. Rest areas at strategic locations will permit motorists and over-the-road truck drivers to stop, rest and relax. The main purpose of the rest areas is for safety, Williams said, and the toiletfacility features are a minor part. Williams pointed out that the rest areas such as the one pro posed between iSalom. and Port land were not Intended for motor ists driving, short distances but for those driving long distances. Neuberger's Amendment Approved WASHINGTON IUPH The Sen ate Friday night unanimously ap proved an amendment offered by Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D Orc.) to the supplemental appro priation bill providing initial funds for a three-year study by the Na tional Outdoor Recreational. Re sources Review Commission. Neuberger worked with mem bers of the White House staff for an addition of $100,000 to the bill. The Appropriations Committee had omitted funds proposed by the Budget Bureau to state the program which would include a state-by-statc inventory of .recrea tional facilities and possibilities. The Oregon Democrat said a delay in providing funds until the next session of Congress would cut. four lo six months from the time essential for a complete and thorough analysis of recreation problems. Knowldnd's Future Is Clouded By RAYMOND LAHR United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD Bill Knowland, Republican leader of the Senate, is quitting soon to face a' clouded political future in Cali fornia, and most of the Senate' will be sorry to see him go. - ; Many senators found it easy to disagree with Knowland but few of them ever had much doubt about where he stood. They de veloped a liking "for him even though they found it hard to get to know him. Like most effective congression al floor leaders, Knowland has had a foot in each of the two camps of his parly. His biggest headlines came, however, when he spoke as a conservative critic of the Eisen hower administration. More recently he has squared off against labor leaders and pressed for a federal law to guar antee democracy in unions and a state right to work law in Califor nia. Whether this tack was politi cally wise will not be known until November when . Knowland will in or lose the race for the gov ernorship of California. He is now the underdog. Regardless of the political con sequences, it could be taken for granted that once Knowland had cnosen ms roau nu wouiu suck 10 it whether it led lo Sacramento or political oblivion. It has been five years since the late Sen. Robert A. Taft hand picked Knowland, then 45, as his successor to lead the Republican side of the Senate. Knowland also inherited Taft's role as chief spokesman for the conservative wing of the GOP, although' he had been somcting of a Young Turk in his earlier years. Both Taft and Knowland were less conservative than some of their warmest admirers. They had other qualities in common, too. Both were tireless workers and strong partisans, willing to do their homework and unwilling to disguise their no-nonsense feelings with diplomatic niceties. Knowland at first lacked the sensitivity : needed . to calculate what the Senate could or could not be persuaded to do. But he learned fast, even if he never .ac quired the finesse of his Demo cratic counti-i-pall, Sen. Lyndon I!. Johnson . - OUT OUR WAY By J. M.
