Along Asian Gateway Shah Pledges Bar to Reds WASHINGTON W Iran will guard the gateway to South Asia, the Middle East and Africa against Communist infiltration, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi pledged Friday. "We are manning the longest front line of freedom in the world our 1,400-mile border to the north," he told the National Press Club in a prepared speech. He said the Soviets, whom he described as "destructive inter national forces," pay special attention to Iran in the hope that 1 by subverting the ancient king EUGfiNE REGISTER-ArARD, Frida?, April 13, 1962 Price Hike Questioned By Fisher COOS BAY (UPD State Rep. Carl Fisher, Republican candi date for Congress, said here Thursday the burden of proof for a steel hike now rests with the steel companies. "A questionable situation ex ists when one man or a group of men can set wages, prices, or anything else which affects the consumers," Fisher aid. Campaigning for the Fourth Ditrict's seat in Congress, Fish er said "I certainly do not favor needless regulation of business nor price controls, but it is in cumbent upon business to fol low a course of action which makes controls unnecessary." The Eugene radio executive said, "considering the facts which we have now, the steel executives must produce some valid answers for the people of this nation or in my opinion they are in troubled waters." Fisher said this is an "oppor tune time for our wood prod ucts industry to increase its promotional efforts. Consumers should be reminded of the ver satility and quality of wood products at a time when steel prices may be going up," he said. Fisher announced Andy Nas burg. Coos Bay, as his Coos County chairman in the cam paign. Fisher also named Eugene at torney Ralph F. Cobb as his Lane County chairman. Earlier. he named Dick Travis for Jack- con County and Sam Bowe for Josephine County. dom they can conquer the oil rich Middle East. Misinformed Critics The Communists, the Shah complained, have found strange allies in misinformed Western critics. He continued in his luncheon speech: "There are people who come to our country from a long dis tance and stay barely 24 hours with us. Nevertheless, on their return home they aspire to speak and write authoritatively not only about Tehran but also regarding the farthest corner of our land which they have never seen." The Shah said that many of these critics have joined the Communists in forecasting a revolution and the overthrow of the monarchy. "And yet, as you can see, we are still here and moving for ward every day with increasing vigor, purpose and stability," he declared. Such things help make a king's life miserable, Moham med Reza Pahlevi confessed. He said: 'Nothing But Headaches' "Let me tell you quite bluntly that this king business has given me personally nothing but headaches." He recalled the several at tempts against his life and Rus sia's unceasing radio campaign against him. The Shah said his country will need $4.5 billion for its next five-year plan to be launched next fall. He said he expects private investors to fur nish about $2 billion while his government will provide the rest. "We shall . . . need moral and material support if we are to reach our goal In time," the Shah said. Coroner Continuing Tests To Determine Death Cause CLEVELAND OB The bodies of two men who died mysteri ously in a suburban motel last weekend were shipped back home Thursday. The body of Richard Conley, 39, Oakland, Calif., was claimed by his wife, Betty. The body of Theron Wells, 24, was sent to Tacoma, Wash., at his father's request. An exhaustive scries of tests was begun Monday, the day aft er the bodies were found, to try to determine the cause of death. The coroner's office has Congress OKs Weapons Bill WASHINGTON UV-Congress has sent to President Kennedy a S13-billion bill authorizing ac quisition of new weapons by the military. The measure cleared Con cress Thursday when the House swiftly accepted Senate amend ments. It authorized procure ment of missiles, airplanes, ships and other weapons and includes $320 million more than the administration sought to speed the RS70 reconnaissance strike bomber program. The RS70 stems from the contro versial B70 program. The authorization is subject to later appropriations. been unable to determine what killed the men and is continu ing chemical and microscopic tests. 'Because of the number of things we have eliminated, it seems likely that if the deaths were caused by a chemical agent, one of the narcotics group seems most likely," said Dr. Lester Adelson, a pathologist. A companion of the dead men, Raphael A. Fernandez, 34, Tacoma, is being held by police, f The FBI issued a fugitive war rant Thursday against Gerald S. Galler, 24, also wanted for ques tioning in the case. Galler, an other companion of the dead men, is charged with illegal flight to avoid prosecution for automobile theft. He is believed to have fled Cleveland in a car belonging to one of the dead men. Wells, Galler and Fernandez each were on a $5,000 bond from Lane County Circuit Court where they were awaiting trial on a charge of larceny from a store. The three are accused of stealing $1,320 on Feb. 12 from Brown's Pharmacy in Junction City. The trial is scheduled for May 22. Their attorneys in Eugene reported that one of the three men called Saturday night from Cleveland asking when they should return to Lane County for the trial. Bill Will tiid 6 Offset Measure Applies To West Coast WASHINGTON (UPD A bill to eliminate a 6 per cent advan tage for West Coast shipyards bidding on government-subsidized shipbuilding was passed by the House Thursday and now goes to the Senate. The action came on a voice vote after the House had re jected three amendments of fered by West Coast congress men. An amendment by Rep. Don Magnuson, D-Wash., to low er the differential to 4 per cent was rejected. Also rejected were amend ments by Reps. John F. Baldwin, R-Calif., and John F. Shelley, D-Calif. Race Amendment The Baldwin amendment, de- feated by a 115 to 99 vote, would have directed the Secre tary of Commerce not to award a contract to any shipyard de termined to discriminate on the basis of race, color or national origin. Shelley's amendment, defeat ed by a vote of 153 to 66, would have authorized the Secretary of Commerce to ask for bids on a regional basis rather than on a nationwide basis. Merchant Marine Committee Chairman Herbert C. Bonner, D-N.C, said his committee would hold hearings on such a propos al if it was introduced in the form of a bill, but advised that it be turned down as an amend ment to the bill to repeal the 6 per cent differential. The battle over the repeal bill introduced by Rep. Edward A, Garmatz, D-Md., was strictly on between the West and the East. Both Sides The westerners, led by Rep. Thor C. Tollefson, R-Wash., sought to hammer home the ar guments that repeal of the dif ferential would destroy the West Coast shipbuilding indus try and endanger national secu rity. Eastern and Gulf Coast mem bers contended that industrial growth of the West made it pos sible for Pacific Coast yards to bid on an equal basis and that the differential was unfair dis crimination against other sec tions of the country. The westerners based their compromise offer of reduction to 4 per cent on a Federal Marl time Administration repor which said it cost 4.2 per cent more to build ships on the West Coast than on the East Coast, Page li Oregon's Summer Time Map . Getting Patchwork Look Again Selling Out (AP Wlrephoto) Vivien Kellems, president of the Kel lems Co. founded in 1927 at Stonington, Conn., has sold her factory. Miss Kel lems, a former resident of Eugene with relatives here, gained nation-wide fame when she refused to collect withholding taxes from her employes. She is selling her firm because with 17 different taxes to pay, her firm has no money left for expansion, she said. She owned the company with her brother David. Eugene relatives include cousins Mrs. Francis Shrode and attorney Ed Bailey. SP Expects Clear Track The Southern Pacific rail road's main line over the Cas cades, blocked by a freight train derailment Wednesday morning, was expected to be open again Friday. An SP spokesman said that only three of 23 freight cars which went off the tracks some 75 miles southeast of Eugene were still to be re-railed at 8 a.m. The job was expected to be completed by noon, with res toration of normal service fol lowing. The derailment, caused by broken rail in a tunnel high on a steep mountainside, forced cancellation of service between the Pacific Northwest and California. In anticipation of the re-open- ing, the northbound Shasta Day light passenger train left San Francisco as scheduled Wednes day morning. Br ASSOCIATED PRESS Five counties in Northwest Oregon officially switch to day light saving time April 29. And many other areas of the state, as the) did last summer, will make the switch unofficial ly either at the same time or a little later. Multnomah County and the four that surround it Wash ington, Clackamas, Hood River and Columbia were authorized by the 1961 legislature to switch to the fast time if they wanted to. But many other places, most ly on action by chambers of com merce or city councils, have de cided to move their clocks ahead one hour, or to switch work schedules one hour. Here is the way this sum mer's siuation looks now over the state: The five counties officially authorized to switch to fast time have done so for the peri od from April 29 to Sept. 29. Malheur County in Eastern Oregon is on Mountain Stand ard Time, the same as Pacific Daylight Time. Baker is the only Eastern Oregon commu nity to adopt unofficial day light time. The Baker Chamber of Commerce voted for the fast time from May 27 to Sept. 3. In Central Oregon, daylight saving time has been approved for Jefferson, Deschutes and Crook counties by a vote of the chamber of commerce. Clocks will be changed in all but government offices, where employes will go on an early start, early-finish basis. No Southwestern Oregon areas have decided to change the clock, but on the Northern Coast and in the Willamette Valley, the time map looks like a patchwork quilt. Astoria and Seaside chambers of commerce have decided to adopt DST from April 29 to Sept. 29. The Oceanlake City Council decided to set the clocks ahead an hour, but Newport rn the same county voted to stay on standard time. Salem and Marion County, it appears, will be a standard time island. McMinnville'a Chamber of Police Get Nightsticks In Portland PORTLAND I Portland policemen who walk a beat start ed carrying nightsticks Friday. The order was issued by Chief David H. Johnson Thursday. He said there were two types of club: a lightweight, slender model, called a baton, and a heavier model known as a riot club. These weapons "have long been recognized and accepted as necessary and desirable articles of equipment for members of metropolitan police depart ments," Johnson said. Portland policemen have car ried lead-filled saps as standard equipment until now. Capt. Carl Shoemaker said some officers had expressed reluctance to use them. The new clubs are less dan gerous and more effective, Shoe maker said. But the new night sticks are not for head clubbing, he added. "A poke in the stomach is far less dangerous and just as effec tive." Shoemaker said it was the first time in his memory that Portland police have used the weapon. He has been with the bureau for 33 years. Commerce voted for daylight time, and the rest of YamhiU County was expected to go along. The Corvallis School Board decided Wednesday to advance its school schedule one hour after April 29, after the city council and chamber of com merce had voted for daylight' time. Albany, by a 5-1 vote Wednes-' day of the city council, will be. on fast time. The chamber of commerce had asked the coun-. cil to vote for the change. The situation in Eugene was still undecided this week. The Eugene City Council, meeting as. committee of the whole, rec ommended that city employes,, be permitted to adopt "summers time hours" starting April 29,' without changing the clocks. -. But the council declined to endorse the fast time for the entire community. The commit- tee recommendation will be, considered by the council on April 23, its next regular meet ing. . After last summer's time con-. fusion, efforts were made to have either a special legislative: session or a measure on the- May primary ballot to establish -uniform time .hroughout the. state. But those efforts failed. The voters will have a chance to. decide on the November ballot.! Flemming to Speak Arthur S. Flemming, presi dent of the University of Ore gon, will speak to alumni and friends of the university in San Diego Thursday, April 19. Flem ming will also attend an alumni dinner next Friday in Los Angeles. DON'T MISS OUR WEEKEND SPECIAL 2 Fool STEP STOOL Reg. QQC $1.98 39 IVERSOW PAINTS Eugene, 27S0 11th Atb. W Sprtnjfleld, 808 N.
