Some lumber mills and ply
wood plants in Oregon have re

cause of reduced demand for
their products. A real jolt came,
however, with news that Weyer-

week at its extensive Springfield
operations to four days for lack
of box cars for shipping out its
manufactures.
The statement of an executive
was to the effect that the com
pany had accumulated as much
inventory as. it had apace for

output until the accumulation

shortages have been voiced by
shippers along the Southern Pac

with comments that the northern

Swinging into action for the re

general manager of the Southern
Pacific lines, reviewing the crit

about it. The letter, signed by
Clifford W. Ferguson, assistant
director of the rail division of

that the SP stopped accepting

Alom - Bomb Targets
- The Federal Civil Defense Ad
ministration issued the list six
weeks after Russia reported its
mastery of the hydrogen bomb
to spur the nationwide home de
fense effort.
The announcement came just
two days after city legal officers,
at a conference here, reported that
- Marion County's civil defense
is in good shape, Wharton said,
and added that there are 7200
persons In the eoanty registered
in the program.
"This is better than 7 per
cent of the population. The na
tional average is less than 4 per
cent."
Mayor Alfred Loacks pointed
oat that Salem is ahead of
many cities in civil defense ex
penditures and said "Salem had
long realized it was a possible
target because it was the state
capital."
I Although the eight-week-old girls
"are definitely not out of danger,
I would think infection is the chief
danger."

Mayor Ashton- J. Mouton of La
Fayette, thankfully said:
"God almighty has been very gen
erous so , that we could have our
two little girls perfectly normal.
"The prayers offered by so many
good people helped make the op
eration a success," he added.
Mouton and his wife waited in
a private room during the opera
tion with a Bible in their hands.
Each 20 minutes they received a
progress report on the 2-hour and
55-minute operation that separated
their daughters.
A staff surgeon said he believes
a new page will be written in medi
cal history, if both girls survive. To
his knowledge, he said, never be
fore have both twins survived such
an operation.
The girls were joined near the
base of the spine. The sacrum, a
part of the lower vertebrae, was
fused. They also were joined in the
dural sac, covering of the spinal
cord at the lower end, and shared
a common lower intestinal tract
Split Into Teams
The operation began at S:25 a.m.
The surgeons first divided the fused
vertebrae. Then they separated the
dural sac and the intestinal tract.
The team of eight surgeons then
split into two teams of four each
to complete the operation on each
girl individually.
The points of operation were
closed on both infants without skin
grafts.
The operation was over at 11:20
a.m. and the girls were placed in
separate cribs for the first time.
Mrs. Mouton looked at them and
said, "they look wonderful."
The girls, Carolyn Anne and Cath
erine Anne, were born July 22 in
Lafayette. During the delivery, Car
olyn stopped breathing but was re
vived by artificial respiration.

McCarthy Shifts From Reds to Brunettes,
Announces Plans to Marry Former Aide
By ROGER D. GREENE
WASHINGTON W) Sen. Mc
Carthy (R-Wis) in a shift from Red
bunting to romance, will be mar
ried here Sept. 29 to pretty, dark
haired Jean Kerr, a former re
search aide in his office. "
Announcement of the marriage
plans came Thursday from Mrs.
William P. Kerr, mother of the
bride-to-be. The wedding will be
held at St, Matthews (Roman Cath
olic) Cathedral in downtown Wash
ington. , .i - ,..'4'.
- In New York, where McCarthy
is investigating alleged Communist
infiltration in the United Nations,
the Wisconsin senator declined com
ment. :
"I have nothing to add to . the
announcement, be said.'
'The ' names of the 43-year-old
bachelor-senator and his former as
sistant have long been linked ro
some cities are considering aban
donment of civil defense programs
because of "inadequate' federal
support.
The report said it "does not pur
port to include all possible targets.
"For security reasons." it said,
"certain targets that have nation
al or military significance, includ
ing the atomic energy installations,
have not been listed.
The critical targets listed Thurs
day night embrace a population of
67,750,982.
The list supersedes one adopted,
but never made public, on Feb. 4
of last year. The defense agency
sent the 1952 list only to governors
and to state and city civil defense
directors. Thursday night it re
quested that all copies of -the old
list be destroyed by burning.
The new document adds three
"critical" targets to the old one:
Binghamton, N. .Y., Evansvflle,
Ind.. and then WQkes-Barre-Hazle-ton
area of Pennsylvania which
have grown industrially.
All capitals of states, territories,
and possessions are named, but
not as critical targets unless they
are industrially important Other
cities having 50,000 population or
more are grouped in the non-critical
bracket .
Some Other Areas
The defense agency said that
while the list contains the "most
probable targets for atomic attack,
other areas might also be struck."
In a foreword, it added:
"The capabilities of modern
weapon of mass destruction are
so great that a successful attack
would cause damage and casual
ties far beyond the resources of
any area.
"Also, this list does not include
all possible targets for biological
or chemical attack. This type of
attack could be employed against
any part of the country, rural as
well as urban. '
Pleads for Defense
"Therefore, the resources of the
entire country outside the listed
target areas, as well as within
them must be mobilized for civil
defense."
The 70 critical areas are cities
or population centers classed as
standard metropolitan areas, each
having at least 40,000 manufactur
ing workers and at least one city
with a population of 50,000 together
with its closely-linked suburban
areas. Washington, D. C, was in
cluded "because of its importance
as the nation's capital."
The critical list includes Portland,
Ore.-Wash, and Seattle, Wash.
Here are other probable target
areas listed by states:
Oregon: Salem.
Washington: Olympia, Spokane,
Tacoma.

Partner Plans
Own Case in
Assault Trial
NEWPORT, Ore. Ul Richard
E. Thomson said Thursday he will
act as his own attorney when he
appears in Circuit Court next Tues
day for a pre-sentence hearing on
a charge of assault with intent to
kill his business partner, James K.
Meuller.
Thomson pleaded guilty to the
charge, but said he will call char
acter witnesses when he appears
for sentencing.
He admitted striking Meuller
over the head with a piece of pipe
a short time before their car
plunged from the Coast Highway
and went over a cliff a week ago
and landed up rocks on the beach
at Cape Foulweather.
Thompson gave no clear motive
for the attack on Meuller. He said
only that an ''obsession hit me"
and he denied that a $10,000 in
surance policy the partners in an
automobile business had on each
other's life was a factor.
Police started investigating what
appeared to be an .ordinary ac
cident after Meuller, delirious with
injuries in a hospital, cried out:
"Dick, why do you want to kill
me."
Thomson said in his confession
that the attack occurred while he
and his partner were driving back
from Portland early last Thursday.
The two men fought, but Thom
son said he suddenly became sor
ry, quit fighting and started to
take Meuller to a doctor. How
ever, Thomson said, he lost con
trol of the car and it went off the
road and down a steep bank 500
feet a bove the ocean. Thomson
said he fell out at 50 feet, and
Meuller was thrown out 350 feet
down. The car went on over the
cliff.

'New A-Bomb'
Red Officials
By RICHARD KASISCHKE
MOSCOW Un The Soviet Union
announced Friday it has successful
ly tested some "new type" atomic
bombs in recent weeks. ,
It added Russia hoped a ban
would be placed on all types, of
mass destruction weapons and is
looking into prospects for peaceful
use of atomic energy in industry.
A dispatch from the Soviet news
agency Tass published in the gov
ernment newspaper Izvestia said
the successful experimental tests
had taken place.
Follow "Peace Plan"
The dispatch said that although
the Soviet Union was able to give
attention to the production of atom
weapons, the nation also followed
a policy of strengthening peace and
trying to reach agreement with oth
er countries on the prohibition of
atomic, hydrogen bombs and other
kinds of weapons for mass destruc
tion. No details were given about the
"new type ""tested.
Tass said the Soviet Union wanted
strict international control and a
"realization of these decisions" to
ban atomic weapons.
No Surprise to AEC
Meanwhile, it said, the nation is
exploring the use of atomic energy
for industry purposes.
WASHINGTON J Officials of
the Atomic Energy Commission
evinced little surprise Thursday
night at Moscow's announcement
that the Soviet government has suc
cessfully tested some "new type"
atomic bombs in recent weeks.
"The news from Moscow tonight
merely confirms our statement of
