SHANNON, Ireland (PI A former U.S. Marine jet pilot flew into Shannon Airport from Newfoundland via Paris Saturday after starting off on what he insisted was a one hour hop in Canada in a single engine plane. Thomas H. Danaher, 30-year-. old uranium miner from Wich ita Falls, Texas, wouldn't say much about how he happened to extend his flight, but he did say emphatically: "The trip added ten years to my life." He said he encountered bad weath- Cougar Issue On the Shelf WASHINGTON (Special) Congress adjourned Friday night without taking final action on the Cougar Dam "partnership" bill, following an afternoon of jockey ing between its sponsor and its chief opponent. Sen. Guy Cordon of Oregon kept looking for an opening in which to bring up the Cougar bill with some likelihood of its gaining favorable action, knowing full well Sen. Wayne Morse was prepared to argue at length against its enactment. The atti tude of Senate leaders apparently made it difficult to obtain con sideration, since they were avoid ing all controversial bills so ad journment would not be delayed. With Mori.- absent from the chamber much of the day it looked as if some move by Cor don might take place, as the Senate galloped through a list of routine measures. But Morse's administrative as sistant, Wil.iar" Berg, was sta tioned on the floor to spread the aitrm among senators wnom Morse earle;r tad corraiet! to stand with him against the Cou gar Dam bill. Cordon never made his move, and the Cougar Dam bill died on the Senate calendar. CFive Drowned M a a Mm I in boat Mishap At Bonneville Tugboat Sucked Under Spillway PORTLAND UP) A cur rent sucked a 47-foot tugboat under the Bonneville Dam spillway Friday and five men lost their lives in the acci dent, the worst in the his tory of the Columbia River project. Another man, Harold A. Coles, 29, Astoria, was rescued by Ivan Donaldson, a fish biologist for the Corps of Engineers, who hap pened lo be in a boat nearby con ducting experiments. The bodies of two men were re covered. They were Merle Tobias, 48, Portland, an engineer, photo grapher and world traveler, and George Graham, Kalama, Wash., a carpenter. UNIVERSITY STUDENT Still missing early Saturday were Magner Larsen, 66, Astoria; Leonard Boylan.Cathlamet.Wash. and Don Lewis, 20, Portland, son of Frank Lewis, former resident engineer at the dam. Young Lew is was a junior at the University of Oregon. Coles said the six were on the tug boat which was hauling a barge below the dam in prepara tion for some construction work. The barge became caught in the current and started drifting to ward the waterfall over the spill way. Coles tried to cut the line to the barge but the tug also was sucked under the current. DRAGGING CONTINUES Coles was thrown into the water and came to the surface about 400 feet below the dam. Dragging operations for the missing three were resumed Sat urday but no bodies had been re covered by noon. Engineers plan ned to drop all the gates on the main dam later Saturday to per mit a. thorough search of the spillway. re v -xj-i , r HOUSE STANDS ADJOURNED As Sncakpr Joseph Martin poses with gavel, page boys cluster around and throw torn bills into the air as the House of Repre sentatives of the 83rd Congress adjourned Friday night. Ex-Marine Pilot Lands in Ireland er 1,000 miles off the Irish coast. Danaher, a six-footer in a ten-gallon Texas hat, a leather jacket and fawn trousers, said he always wanted to see Paris. The Marine reservist flew in the Pacific in World War II and in Korea. So, fitting out his Beech Bon anza with additional fuel tanks, he notified authorities in Can ada he was off on a short hop. Somehow, he e x p 1 a i n c d, to newsmen here, he headed across the Atlantic and reached Paris or, at least, the sky above Paris. He couldn't got permission to come down so he turned back to Shannon, he add ed. After 3,100 miles and 13 hours of flying he came down about midnight. Danaher brushed off ques tions concerning regulations on Atlantic crossings that prohibit uncertified planes from taking off from Canada. Danaher's eccentric journey reminded air enthusiasts of Douglas (Wrong Way) Corri gan of Los Angeles who star tled the world back in 1938 when he piloted a second hand crate from New York and landed in Ireland on an unau thorized ocean hop. Corrigan, who had been re fused permission to try the ocean hop, ostensibly took off for California. Once in the air he headed out over the At lantic. He later argued slyly that his compass was wrong. Danaher had been reported trying in vain to persuade Ca nadian officials to permit him to take off across the Atlantic. Regulations there forbid small craft from flying beyond glid ing distance from the seashore. Ask End to Strike WASHINGTON Wl The Na tional Mediation Board proposed Saturday that striking American pilots go back on their runs in- eluding westbound transcontinen tal flights which are the basis of the dispute while non-binding; arbitration is carried out. Convention Hears Noted Architect First Family in Denver tifnvfr npi President and Mrs. Eisenhower arrived by plane at thp summer White House nere Saturday for a delayed vacation expected to be interspersed witn work on hills nasscd by the ad- InnmaH A3rrl Tnnffrpss and speaking engagements. S. Robert Anshen, noted San Francisco architect and one of the nation's leading mass housing experts, told 200 delegates to the third annual convention of the Northwest Council of the Ameri can Institute of Architects Friday night at the Eugene Hotel that the housing industry must adopt mass production techniques if it is to eliminate the sterility in the design of modern mass housing. "America s known throughout I the world' for its mass produc tion." Anshen said, "and the housing industry is the last to adopt these methods and we must adoDt the techniques ot otner in dustries to meet the challenge of modern mass housing. Anshen then pointed out the most successful of the mass build ers have turned to the architect for the betterment of the house and called for an increased use of the architects' skills to improve mass housing. 1TVANTJER TO SPEAK Sis Unander, Oregon State troacurpr. will address the dele gates Saturday night on "The Architect and His Slate" as the conclave concludes its second riav. Friday afternoon William M. pHttnr nf the Recister- I Guard, told a seminar meeting, The architects must carry the greatest challenge to the people of the Northwest to rebuild our cities to meet the needs of mod ern living, and the coming years offer tremendous opportunities for the architect." Turning to the sponsorship of civic projects, Tugman warned the architects they would need "the patience of Job" in the sell ing of such plans to the people, but it was worth the efforUbe- cause it was no more expensive to do the job right than to do it wrong. A STATE OF MIND Harwell H. Harris, dean of the University of Texas architecture school, opened the conference Friday noon by saying that re gionalism in modern architecture is a state of mind and the build ings of a region merely reflect the thinking of the arts and busi ness in the area. He then pointed out progress in architecture is a cooperative matter because the architect can move no faster than the client is willing to go. The conference concludes Sun day. A display of outstanding models and designs is open to the public at conference head quarters. Robbery Try Fails; Police Nab Suspect An attempted armed robbery of a tavern operator at the north outskirts of Eugene early Satur day morning was followed min utes later by the arrest of Herb ert Hansen, of 3741 Barger Drive. He gave his age as 26. According to a sheriff's report, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bob Brady, operators of Brady's Tavern, 205 Pacific Highway N., were held up by a man armed with a rifle when they approached their auto parked behind the tavern. The time was about 1:15 a.m., after the tavern had been closed. Brady said the man pointed the rifle at him and said, "This is a stickup." Mrs. Brady ran back into the tavern and called Eugene police who relayed her call to state po lice. The sheriff's office moni tored the radio call and dispatch ed all its cars to the scene at the same time. Outside, the armed man asked Brady for his cash. Brady said he told the man the money was inside. The man took Brady's car keys and permitted him to re turn to the tavern for the money. While Brady was inside, the man look off with the car, heading north. - Merchant Patrolman Harry Marlowe, who had also heard the radio call, intercepted the stolen car and forced Hansen to stop Marlowe held Hansen at the spot until a. sheriff's deputy arrived and took him into custody. Han- sen was charged with armed rob bery. The sheriff's report said Han sen stated he obtained the rifle, ammunition, and some other ar ticles by breaking into Bradway's Hardware Store, at 2690 Roose velt Blvd. In district court Saturday, Han sen was bound over to the grand jury. Bail was placed at $5,000. v - - (7 A : i v (AP Wlrclihotn) PRINCESS IS 24 Princess Margaret wears a dress of white silk patterned with pink roses and a necklace of pearls .for this portrait made by Cecil Beaton for her 24th birthday Saturday. The princess, whose romances and rumored matrimonial plans have been the subject of keen interest, is just one year short of the constitu tional age of being able to marry without asking permis sion of her sister, Queen Elizabeth II. Jury Indicts Two On Bribe Charges Two Eugene men were indicted by a Lane County grand jury Sat urday on two charges of bribery. The men, James Porter Frady, 34, 1247 W. 14th Ave. and Delbert Francis Andrews, 39, 710 Dorris St., were charged with offering bribes to District Attorney Eu gene Venn, Sheriff Ed Elder and Sheriff's Deputy William E. Alex ander. . In one indictment, Frady, man ager of Clingman's in Glenwood, and Andrews, owner of Jack's Place, were charged with offering a $1,000 bribe to the law enforce ment officers on July 22. , Woman Has Third Child DETROIT HP) A young mother gave birth to a healthy six pound boy Friday night just three weeks after having twin girls. Physicians proclaimed the case a medical wonder. They said the newborn boy was probably con cci.cd about two weeks after the twin girls. The mother, Mrs. Boyd Brax ton, 23, a Negro, has a twin womb and a double uterus. She has six children besides the three born during the last three weeks. Dr. Thomas Y. Hum, Mrs. Braxton's physician, said the three children would be consid ered triplets despite the time lapse between births. The twin girls were delivered at Kiefcr Hospital on July 31. The purpose of the alleged bribe was to permit the defendants im munity from arrest while conduct ing games of chance and main taining houses of prostitution, ac cording to the indictment. A second indictment charged lne defendants with giving Alex ander a $200 bribe July 18 in an attempt to obtain immunity from arrest while conducting games of chance. The defendants had been bound over to the grand jury following testimony given by Alexander at a district court preliminary hear ing in late July. The grand jury returned 10 other true bills and two not true bills as well as three secret in dictmcnts. Not true bills were returned for Don Arbirt Hass, Disston, and Os car Merle Kephart, Culp Creek, both charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

U.S. Diplomat Tries to Break EDC Deadlock Parley Outlook Remains Gloomy BRUSSELS, Belgium UP The United States stepped in to the impasse here over the European, army plan Satur day in a'desperate effort to negotiate ' a settlement be tween the foreign ministers of France and five other West European nations. Special ambassador David K. Bruce, the United States' expert on European integration prob lems, flew in from Paris unan nounced Friday night. He arrived on the scene as the foreign ministers were locked in a marathon eight-hour session try ing to hammer out their differ ences over France's proposed changes in the European Defense Community treaty. Bruce met for an hour Satur day with West German Chancel lor Konrad Adenauer and then went to see Belgian Foreign Min ister Paul-Henri Spaak, chairman of the six-nation conference. A German spokesman said the main purpose of Bruce's talk with Adenauer was to bring about a reconciliation between him and French Premier Mendes-France on EDC. West Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg al ready have ratified the European Army Pact. France and Italy have not. Bargaining here the past two days has failed to bridge the wide gap between the army plan in its original form and France's new proposed version. Unwilling to admit defeat, the foreign ministers assigned a com mittee of defense, legal and econ omic experts to meet again Sat urday to try working out details of a compromise proposed by Spaak. The ministers planned to take up the compromise plan in an afternoon session. This probably will be the final attempt at a settlement in the parley, Spaak's formula calls for taking up unsettled issues after Franca and Italy have ratified tho treaty. But Mendes-France feels a pledge to rc-open negotiations later is not enough to help him get EDC approved by the balky French Parliament. Only Spaak seemed optimistic after the breakup of the long ses sion Saturday morning. He said, "We went through all the ques tions without reaching a dead lock and added he still had some hope."

F. Hartung, the un ion's president, said here Sat urday. Hartung said that although the committee had not been of ficially notified, it had ob tained a copy of the proposal for a seven-man fact-finding board to act in the 61-day-old lumber strike. Hartung said he understood the proposal came out of a meeting of Governors Langlie of Washington and Patterson of Oregon with management and AKL representatives in Lang lie's office. Contract negotiations which A. F. Hahung, president of the CIO Woodworkers, said his un ion and Weyerhaeuser represen tatives were to reopen contract negotiations on the basis of the new offer in a session scheduled for Saturday afternoon in Port land. Tho CIO Friday asked for additional time beyond the com t any's 24-hour time limit to con sider the offer. MINIMUM PAY If accepted, the Weyerhaeuser offer would increase the mini mum pay for workers to $1.90 an hour. That is 7V4 cents above the general basic wage paid in the industry before the unions went on strike June 20 to back up demands for a 12'4-ccnt hour ly increase. Friday, Davis and R. A.

The ne gotiators met Friday but said they had nothing to report in the way of a settlement. Similar talks Friday between Associated Plywood Inc. and the IWA-CIO in Eugene also failed to bring an end to the deadlock. Earl Ward, business agent for the local 9-244, said further meetings may possibly bo held next week.

Davis, executive secretary of the AFL union, said he had asked management repre sentatives to present officially the offer to the union's district councils Saturday. workers at the company's Coos Bay and Snnqualmic, Wash., branches and at its Longvicw ply wood branch. It was the first such offer from a large lumber company since tho paralyzing striko began. Wey erhaeuser employs some 8,000 of the 110,000 who originally walk ed out.

Some logging trucks are op crating through the picket line at that plant. In Cottage Grove, L. L.
