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

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.

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

Saturday for a delayed vacation

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.

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

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.

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."

PORTLAND m The strik
ing CIO Woodworkers Union's
Northwest policy committee
found a proposal reportedly
worked out Thursday by the
governors of Oregon and Wash
ington "completely unaccept
able," A. 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.

A. F. Hahung, president of the
CIO Woodworkers, said his un

negotiations on the basis of the
new offer in a session scheduled
for Saturday afternoon in Port

additional time beyond the com
t any's 24-hour time limit to con

MINIMUM PAY
If accepted, the Weyerhaeuser
offer would increase the mini

the general basic wage paid in
the industry before the unions
