Story, Page IB. Flemming Refuses Stockpile Comment Arthur S. Flemming said in New York Wednesday he had no comment at this time on a charge that he had, while a gov ernment official, violated the stockpile law. Flemming, president of the University of Oregon, was reach ed by telephone in New York, where he is attending a meet ing of the National Center for Education in Politics. The charge that Flemming had violated the law by raising stockpile goals for zinc and lead in 1956 was made Wednesday by Sen. Stuart Symington, D Mo., who heads the special Sen ate Armed Services Subcommit tee investigating defense stock piles. Flemming was director of defense Mobilization in the Eisenhower administration, dur ing the period being considered by the Senate subcommittee. Symington based his state ment on testimony by William N. Lawrence, deputy director in Mediator To Assist Negotiators CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPD The government moved Thursday in to the Ford Motor Co. strike which has stopped the produc tion of Ford cars and idled about 75,000 persons.. The company and the United Auto Workers announced they would accept the assistance of the Federal Mediation and Con ciliation Service in an effort to end the crippling strike over production standards. M. M. Cummings, Ford direct or of labor relations administra tion, said James MacPherson, regional director of the federal agency here, offered his serv ices at mid-morning. A UAW spokesman said late Wednesday night the federal agency had offered its assist ance and the union was not op posed to the idea.

Flemming said, "I will not make any statement on any phase of this matter until I have had an opportunity to ex amine the files about any situa tion on which Senator Syming ton comments. After I have had an opportunity to examine the files, I will make my comments to the committee later this sum mer." Flemming said he expected to testify sometime during the summer, but he did not know when. He appeared before the committee earlier this year. Diversion of French Efforts Under Study By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER Of th Associated Press WASHINGTON U.S. offi cials are beginning to face up to the hard reality that France is determined to build its own nuclear weapons force wheth er they like it or not. They are, therefore, becom ing increasingly concerned with ways of eventually divert ing the French effort into a new NATO nuclear weapons partnership for which the United States itself would have to make some conces sions. The problem of breaking the nuclear weapons deadlock within the North Atlantic Treaty alliance has dominated the consultations held by Secretary of State Dean Rusk with President Charles de Gaulle and other French lead ers in Paris. If De Gaulle and President Kennedy meet later this year, as Paris reports suggest is possible, it will un doubtedly be to try to find a solution to this problem. Indications of the new U.S. approach were disclosed in a speech on nuclear weapons strategy that Secretary of De fense Robert S. McNamara made last Saturday at the Uni versity of Michigan. McNam ara declared it is an urgent need, possibly involving the survival of Western civiliza tion, that NATO countries agree on the coordination of targeting plans the selection of targets against which a nu clear attack would be directed in event of all-out war and the circumstances under which nuclear weapons would be cm ployed. McNamara's speech was sharply critical of the French plan to create a national nu clear force, though he did not mention France by name. This led in Europe to considerable counter criticism to the effect that the United States is try ing to dictate to its Allies. For Union Job in Florida Former Official Tells of Payoff WASHINGTON Wl Clayton "Smiley" Hart, former official of the American Guild of Va riety Artists (AGVA), swore Thursday he paid Jackie Bright, the union's operating chief, $2, 000 in 1958 for a transfer to a job in Sarasota, Fla. Such a payoff would have violated both union fulcs and federal law. Hart's wife, Sonya, testified she "got her Irish up" recently, demanded the money back from Bright, and finally did get some of it at a time when she and her husband said Bright was pressing Hart to deny the whole story. Their testimony was to the Senate Investigations subcom mittee which is looking into al legations that AGVA, an enter tainers union affiliated with the AFL-CIO, has failed to enforce contract protections for its mem bers working in honky tonk night clubs. There has been testimony too that some union officials have connived in pros titution rackets. Called Union's Boss Bright's title is administra tive secretary of the union, and witnesses have described him as its boss. There was testimony Wednes day that Bright had accepted gifts from a New York state resort hotel employing union members. Sen. John J. McClel lan, D-Ark., the subcommittee chairman, and Jerome Adler man, its counsel, said this might involve violations of federal law. The story related by officials of the Concord Hotel at Kia- mesha Lake, N.Y., was that Bright and his family spent re peated vacations there, accept ing thousands of dollars worm of free or bargain rate board and room. Bright listened to their testi- JEW Six piece place setting $43 Including Federal tax the new reigning beauty in Wallace Sterling.

Bright, Adams Present Bright was again seated in the hearing room as the Harts testified. Also there was come dian Joey Adams, the union's president. Both are expected to be called to the witness chair, but subcommittee aides said this may not be until Monday. Neither Bright nor Adams of fered any immediate comment on the testimony. Hart said he resigned in April as AGVA's branch manager in Sarasota, but received severance pay indicating the union had fired him. Relating his story of how he got his assignment here, Hart said he was fed up with the Washington climate after a tour of duty with the union in this area, and jokingly exclaimed in Bright's presence in April 1958, that "I'd give $2,000 to be in Florida." 20 $100 Bills An hour later, he said, Bright telephoned him and said "if you're serious about that $2,000 I can arrange it." Hart said he agreed, got the transfer three months later and handed Bright 20 $100 bills not long afterward. Ho said Bright had dunned him for the money. Mrs. Hart said she had drawn $2,000 from their bank account, and is "sure" that Bright got it. The canceled check was placed in evidence. Hart testified he never en forced the union contract pro vision designed to protect enter tainers against exploitation be cause he considered enforce ment would have been "against the national policy of the un- Measles Leads List of Diseases The list of communicable dis eases reported to the Lane County Health Dept. for the week ending last Friday showed 56 cases of measles, 14 cases of influenza, and one case of Ger man measles. The number of cases was smaller than usual, attributable to the fact that fewer than the normal number of reports came into the health office during the week. Of 108 reporting sources only 46 submitted reports. McNamara argued that de velopment of a national nu clear force would encourage the spread of nuclear weapons among nations, would not serve as a deterrent against Soviet force and would create the danger of one of the Al lies acting on its own to start a nuclear war. As a means of dealing with the problem, he called for "unity of planning, concentra tion of executive authority, and central direction" in the development of nuclear strat egy and precise plans for the use of nuclear weapons if the need ever arises. Hay Fever, Itch Season Are Here Summer season of joy tempered by sunburn, hay fever and mosquito bites, came today, officially. The summer solstice was at 2:24 p.m. daylight Thursday. This will be the longest day of the year with 15 hours and 42 minutes of sunshine. Some people doubted that we would get summer this year; it was a long, cool spring. Warm weather pushed through only recently. It is expected to continue warm and clear, with a high temper ature of 85 degrees predicted for Friday. No rain is in sight for at least several days. Thoso most keenly aware of the turn of the season in clude children, who can once again drag the family to the wading pools, and hay fever sufferers, who were wrenched from the peace of a cool May by the itching eyes and drip ping nose of a warm, pollen filled mid-June. One well-informed official, privately discussing the U.S. policy implications in the Mc Namara speech, said Thursday "we are not giving up on our opposition to a French na tional force but we are now trying to think beyond that." Other officials said that if the European allies in consul tation with the United States through the NATO council at Paris produce a workable formula for a NATO partner ship they will find the Ken nedy administration complete ly cooperative. One possibility reported to be under consideration is the creation of some kind of NA TO command for strategic nu clear weapons. The initial effort of such an organization probably would be to inte grate nuclear weapons strat egies of the various allied governments including the United States. One point McNamara em phasized was that weapons would not necessarily be used against enemy cities but if circumstances permitted would be used instead against enemy military targets, not ably rocket installations and nuclear arsenals from which attacks on the West could be made. Wilson Kinsman Lost on Climb KATMANDU, Nepal UFi A grandson of President Woodrow Wilson and three other ama teur mountaineers are missing on an attempt to scale an un conqucred Himalayan peak. Prof. Woodrow Wilson Sayre, 43, two other Americans and a Swiss left their camp in eastern Nepal May 2 for the final climb to the 25,910-foot summit of un conquercd Mt. Gyachung Kang. Nothing has been heard from them since. Sayre, an assistant professor of philosophy at Tufts Univer sity in Mcdford, Mass., teamed for the expedition with Norman Hansen, 36, a Boston lawyer who had climbed Alaska's Mt. McKinley with him in 1954; Roger Alan Hart, 21, a Tufts student, and Hans Peter Duttle, a Swiss schoolteacher. Before the four set out from Katmandu in March, Sayre told newsmen they planned a leis urely ascent with no fixed route or schedule. Mountaineering experts in Katmandu doubted, however, I that even a leisurely climb would completely black out news of them for seven weeks. Gyachung Kang lies about 14 miles northwest of 29,028-foot Mt. Everest, the world's highest mountain. Like Everest, Gya chung Kang is bisected by the Nepal-Tibet border, Nepal con trolling the southern slope and Red China the northern one. Sayre is tho son of former Ambassador Francis B. Sayre and the late Jessie Wilson, daughter of President Wilson. The elder Sayro was U.S. high commissioner to the Philippines before World War II and was a U.S. delegate to the United Nations. Prof. Sayre is married to the former Edith Warren Chase. They have two daughters, Mar tha, 10, and Jennifer, 11, ana live in Lexington, Mass.
