One way to cover parade is to put on a clown auit and get right in the middle of It.

Its deliberations were in terrupted less by side-circus in vestigations which sometimes have taken the play from what went on under the big tent. Members of Congress can take considerable satisfaction over what this body did and what it did not do. As to each side of this record there will be much debate, with the voters the judges in the coming election. The country as a whole seems to show a good degree of satisfaction with the performance of this Congress. t The outstanding legislative ac complishments of this sessions in elude the highway construction act, the adoption of a soil bank plan for farm relief, and approval of an extension of the social se curity system and liberalization of Its benefits. Conspicuous among the Items which failed of enactment are the bill for federal aid in school con struction, the relief of independ ent gas producers from FPC reg ulation (vetoed by the President!, increase in postal rate schedules, legislation to advance civil rights. The West is very sensitive to congressional action dealing with public works and resource devel opment. Here the report is mixed. Projects already -authorized fared well in appropriations.

Thornton said there Sat urday. "I will overlook for the pres ent his efforts to criticise, be little and smear the attorney gen eral's office, in an apparent at tempt to improve his own posi tion at my expense," Thornton averred. Thorton said, "We have worked too hard on this investigation for the past 2li months to sit by and allow anyone, through irre sponsible and unsworn state ments, to block the impending secret deliberations by the grand jury on the various charges in volved." "I will ask Langley for the third time, to remember his duly as an elected public official to waive immunity and appear be fore the grand jury and give its members the benefit, of what in formation he may have." "The grand Jury members," Thornton continued, "will ask Langley many questions on their own as they have done with all other witnesses entirely 'apart from my own inquiries." The attorney - general ' said grand jury members would like this opportunity and Langley owes them and the citizens of Multnomah County who elected him this basic obligation.

Known Dead; 73 More Still Unaccounted for NEW YORK - The Italian Line, operator of the sunken liner Andrea Doria, revised sharply up ward Saturday night its figures on the dead and missing from the ship. It listed "two dead and 18 mis sing and presumed dead." This would bring the death toll in the sea tragedy to 23. A company spokesman said there also were about 73 addi tional "unaccounted for" from the Andrea Doria, but it was frit that "many of these were alive" and probably would be located. Bodies Missing Earlier, three Andrea Doria passengers were reported dead by fellow passengers or relatives who were aboard the ship . Their bod ies were not recovered. Two other Andrea Doria passengers died aft- er wing rescueu. Two crewmen of the liner Stock holm, badly damaged in the col lision with the Andrea Doria, were known to be dead also and three other Stockholm crew members are missing and believed dead. The New York police depart j ment said its figures now show 15 persons missing and 70 unaccount ed for. Previously it had said it believed that most if not all pas sengers and crew bad been ac counted for. Great Canfualoa Ever since the arrival 'of. six rescue ships with survivors of last Wednesday night's ocean mishap there has been great confusion as to the number of dead and mis sing. Meanwhile, the Andrea Doria's master, Capt. Piero Calamai, told a news conference that every thing possible was done by his crew to save everyone aboard. Some passengers had voiced crit icism of the crew's work, while others praised it. He continued to keep his silence as to possible causes of the di saster. (Story alse Page 11, See. 2.)

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON i-The United States sharply rebuked Egyptian President Nasser Saturday for "intemperate, inaccurate and mis leading statements" about this country. Nasser has charged, among other things, that the United Slates lied about Egypt's ability to build the Aswan high dam The American protest, was de livered orally to Ambassador Ah med Hussein by Undersecretary of State Herbert Hoover Jr. It topped off a day of fast moving developments here on the crisis created by Nasser's seizure of the Sues Canal for the stated purpose of obtaining funds to build the dam. Eavoy Dispatched The developments: 1. President Eisenhower dis patched an ace diplomatic trou bleshooter. Deputy Undersecre tary of State Robert Murphy, to confer with British and French foreign ministers in London on measures for dealing with the Suez seizure. Murphy left Wash ington at mid-day and was due in London Sunday. 2. Secretary of State Dulles at Lima, Peru, arranged to cut short his Latin American visit by sev eral hours in order to get back to Washington ahead of schedule Monday and take personal charge of U. S. policy in the Suez crisis. Mission Discussed 3. Eisenhower, Murphy and Hoover met at the White House for about an hour early in the day to review the situation, go ever Murphy's mission and presumably decide on the protest against Nas ser a charges. 4. Responsible officials made it clear that the United States .lands firmly with Britain and France in their moves to deal with the aeit ure of the Canal. The British and French have a primary interest in the dispute because of their owner ship rights in the private company which has operated the strategic waterway. Murphy had Instructions lo try to develop with British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd and French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau reasonable and effective measures for handling the Canal issue. Special emphasis is being laid on American concern in keeping the waterway open to in ternational traffic. I'.S. 'Shocked I The protest was delivered to Hussein by Hoover during a 50 minule conference in Hoover's of fice at the State Department. Press Officer Lincoln White an nounced that Hoover told the am bassador the United States was "shocked by the many intemper ate, inaccurate and misleading statements made with respect to the United States by the President of Egypt during the past few days and particularly in his Alexandria speech delivered on July 2t." Hoover declared the statements were "entirely inconsistent" with the friendly relations between the two countries. Young Medics Young Critic Studies Own mm v V i:1 r. : i VK i.
