He legislature. By a 19 to 15 vote near the close of the three-day session, the dairy men decided not to ask the legis lature, now in session in Salem, fur n new milk control act. This ac tion, despite the small vote, result ed in some of the most heated ora tory of the conference. Richard Lyons of Junction City was the choice of association mem bers for the post of president in 1955, a position held this past year by Milton Rider of Oregon City. A Deschutes county man, George Hostetler of the Redmond commu nity, was named first vice-presi dent. He headed the Important leg islative committee at the meeting just ended, and was chairman in charge of convention arrangements Ray Hobson, Klamath Falls, was named second vice president Directors Numed Directors elected at the Bend meeting were Red Rudat, Browns- mead; Ray Measor, Tillamook; Al Lindow, Portland and Milton Rid er of Oregon City, with Harold P. Ewalt of Corvallis to continue as secretary-treasurer. The dairymen had planned to end their convention shortly after the noon hour, at which Dr. G. Bur ton Woods of OSC was the speaker. but an afternoon session was nec essary. It was there that the group engaged in oratory, most of it , hinged on the repeal of the Oregon milk marketing act by a veto of j the people last November and on proposals to get the dairymen "back on their feet." Earlier, President Rider, in hie annual message, suggested that the dairymen work out their own problems, without the aid of a fed eral or state "crutch." "Package" Reviewed The package of proposed bills approved by the association cov ered proposals for dairy legislation proposed by the Oregon Dairy men's Association, the Oregon Dai ry Industries and the Northwest Ice Cream Manufacturers' Associ ation. Two of the bills would repeal the sections of the state law relating to cheese and butter standards. Bill No 3 in the "package" would increase the price differential be tween grades of manufacturing milk Jo not less than 5 per cent of the price paid for each grade Bill No. 4 would require that no less than 15 days elapse before retesting for brucellosis a grade A herd that is found to be infected instead of the 30 days now required by la. Bill No. 5 is a six-part proposal one phase of which would give the agriculture department specific au thority to ask for an injunction to restrain persons from violating ei ther the fluid milk act or the dairy products act Three sections of this bill would give the department authority to condemn dairy equipment includ ing producer owned milk and cream cans which are in bad re pair and unfit for use. Another section of this proposa would make it an unlawful act to add water to milk except as may he permitted in the reconstitution of milk from dry milk solids. Another section, in the nature of an amendment to existing laws, would permit only the sale of grade A labeled fluid milk in Oregon James F. Short, state director of agriculture, was scheduled to sTcak to the group, but. because of the lateness of the hour he asked to he excused from his as slgnment.

Spencer, suspect in the Ne.v Year's Eve hold-up at- tepmt on the Delaware Annex gro cery, was ordered bound over toi the Brand jury by Justice of the is being held in the Deschutes coun ty jail in lieu of $10,000 bail. District Attorney George F. Rakestraw culled six witnesses durin the two-hour hearing. Spencer's attorney, Owen Pan ner, called no witnesses but point edly cross questioned those called by the state. The state's chief witness was a finger print expert from the State Bureau of Identification and Inves tigation, Clark Johnson, Salem. Johnson testified that portions of fingerprints found on a butcher cleaver snatched from a clerk at the grocery by tlio intruder match ed Spencer's. Three Prints Found The finger print technician said three identifiable prints were found on the blade of the wicked looking Over-All Plans For New School Nearly Finished Over-all plan for the new high school to be built on the east side with funds approved in last months special school bond election "is pretty well set," according to Jack Annand, senior member of the ar chitectural firm designing the pro posed plant. Annand, of the firm of Annand, Boone and Let of Portland, ad vised this morning that require ments of the various teaching de partments in the high school should be "crystalized" and the full green light given on working drawing, within a week and a half. He said he hoped to have the complete plans on the $1,175,000 project finished by early spring. Friday evening the Portland ar chitect consulted with members of the school board on how plans are shaping up and this morning was escorted through the present high school by School Superintendent R, E. Jewell. Annand reported that five drafts men and designers of his firm have been assigned to the local project. He said this was an "unusual con centration" for a single undertak ing. Some work, he said, has already been started on working drawings. But full work on this aspect of the planning, he advised, must await compilation of the requirements set for the various classroom and teaching units so they may be in corporated into the drawings. Annand said so far that he and his colleagues have been concen trating primarily on plans for the school itself. He said he thought that his staff would move onto ilans for the auditorium within the next two weeks. Annand said he fully expects the ilan "to be set within a week-and-i-half, so we can go ahead with 'he working drawings." Annand said he knew of several "solid" contracting firms intend ng to offer bids on the local school roject. Bonds authorized by a whopping margin by Bend voters Dec. 13 vill be offered for bid by the tchool board at a meeting in the "uesday evening.

Asked specifically by the district attorney if he found a similarity between the prints on the cleaver and those of Spencer, Johnson an swered: "Yes, I did. . , In my opinion, Ihey were made by the same per son." First witness called by Rake straw was Angelo Peterson, the clerk who thwar'ed the armed pro.v!er from touching the store's till by attacking him with the wide-bladed cleaver. Asked if he could identify the man who stuck a gun in his face just as he closed the small store on Dec. 31, Peterson answered he could not. He explained that just prior to the hold-up attempt he had turned the lights off in the store, making it tuo dark for positive identifica tion. He said that about all he noticed of the prowler was that he was carrying a short barreled pistol had a handkerchief tied over the lower part of his face, was wear ing a brimmed hat, a short jacket and gray or khaki trousers. Rakestraw asked Peterson if he thought Spencer was the man who made the robbery try. Spencer was asked to stand, and as he did Pet erson carefully scrutinized him, fi nally answering: "I don't think he is." , Panner, when his turn to ques tion Peterson came, again asked the clerk if Spencer was the man who tried to rob him. Again Pet erson answered he didn't think so. Brandishing' Gun Recounting the robbery atlempt, Peterson said the prowler thrust a gun "in my face" and said "This is a stickup." Peterson said he grabbed at the gun, deflecting it upwards as tne prowler fired once. Ihe Bullet rip ped through a wall near the ceil ing. Peterson said he then grabbed the cloaver to fight off the gun man, but that it was snatched from him. He testified he was hit sev eral times about the head until he fell to the floor. Peterson said he didn't know whether or not he had hit the in truder with the cleaver before it was grabbed from him. Police Chief John Truelt, when called to the stand, testified that some blood was found on the latch f the side door of the grocery through which -Peterson said the prowler fled. Three other officers rounded oui the parade of witnesses. Sgts. Jack Arney, Emil Moen, and Dean Hunt all testified about aspects of the subsequent police investigation of Ihe foiled robbery.

Joseph R. Mc Carthy's charge that their party will go easy on Communist. Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark) who succeeds the Wisconsin Re publican as chairman of the Sen ate Permament Investigating sub committee, told newsmen, "I hope the record this subcommittee will make in the 8-llh Congress will be a good one. At any rate, it will speak accurately when made." But McClellan would not comment di rectly on McCarthy's charge since it did not mention him or the sub committee. Sen. Russell B. Long (D-Ark), who tangled verbally with McCar thy in Ihe Senate Friday, told re porters, "The (Democrats') record will speak for itself on the efforts to investigate and ferret out sub versive activities. There is a de termination among the Democra tic leaders to expose Communism wherever it might be." Stirs I p Kuckus McCarthy stirred up a ruckus Friday after the Senate passed a resolution promising to continue in vestigating Communists. He said he did not believe the Democratic party will allow Democratic sena tors to live up to the resolution. "I am firmly convinced that the control (of the Democratic party) is held by the same group of men responsible for 20 years of Harry Dexter White type of treason," Mc Carthy said. McCarthy said some of the M senators who signed the resolution were "trying to get some dirt off their hands." Bang! went the gavel in the hands of Long, who was presiding over Ihe sparsely populated Sen ate chamber. He ordered McCarthy to sit down, under the Senate rule which forbids questioning the mo tives of another senator.

In an early morning session lasting more than five hours the Assembly heard the district attor ney read a sworn confession to the murder of President Jose Antonio Rcmon by lawyer Ruben Miro. Miro said he shot Remon with a German-built tommy-gun utter Guizudo, who was vice president ut the time, was informed of the assassination plot and encouraged it. Removed From Office ' On the basis of the confession the Assembly unanimously ap proved a resolution removing Gui zudo from office and naming Ric ardo Arias Espinosa the new Pres ident. Arias, 42-year-old son of the late Francisco (Pancho) Arias, one ot Panama's most colorful politicians, was sworn in as President at 7:20 am.m EST. The Assembly then adjourned until Monday when it will appoint a commission to prepare for the trial of Guizudo.
