CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER THE IN 52nd Year Two Sections Not Abandoning Ships Navy Denies Report WASHINGTON UPJ The Navy said today there is "no idea of abandoning" any of the Arctic rargo ships lighting Polar ice pack above Alaska. "No emergency exists." a Navy spokesman said.. The ships, from the Military Sea Transportation Service, are part of a 123-vessel fleet carrying 500,- 000 tons of supplies and equipment to 'the new Arctic radar station line and other outposts. The Navy des cribes the operation as the greatest assault ever made on the Arctic. Reports from Point Barrow. Alaska, earlier today said some of the ships might have to bo abandoned. But the Navy denied this. The Navy said ships in the cargo fleet become trapped in the ice periodically and are freed again, It described this is a "routine" part of the operation. The Navy said the only damage has been bent rudders and pro pellers and damaged hulls. Such damage, it said, is expected in the battle with the ice. Repair ships and Navy frog men are with the vessels for on the spot repairs. Reports from Point Barrow said ire breakers have been called to slash a route throgh the ice packs. -The Navy at Kodiak, Alaska, has ..been advised of the emergen cy conditions affecting the cargo ships on the continent's northern rim. Ice breakers have been called in to slash an escape route for ships which may still be saved, sources here said. Some of the ships are now being towed to safety through narrow leads of ice after their propellers were damaged by contact with the drifting ice it wag reported. Almost half a million tons of equipment for the Far North ra dar outposts has already been un loaded from the 50-ship armada lot supply ships which arrived in (the Arctic last month. The Navy announced a week ago iiiat Vice Adm. Francis C. Dene- brink, Military Sea Transportation Water Fl ow From Wickiup Nearing End Speetnl to The Blletin MADRAS Wickiup reservoir, which supplies .water for North Unit Irrigation district fields, will run dry this year for the first time since operation started in 1946. j Carlos Randolph, secretary-manager, stated this week that the reservoir, with a capacity of 200, 000 acre feet, will be empty be tween Sept. 20 and 25. j Storage in the reservoir, located 40 miles southwest of Bend, was 10.000 acre feet Tuesday, and it Is expected to be completely empiy in less than two weeks. Although flow will stop sooner! than usual, Randolph believes that little, if any. damage will result since most crops have already re- ceived needed moisture. ' From 500 to 600 cubic feet di version at Bend will be turned into NUID canals between Oct. 10 and 13. The fall-season water will be natural Deschutes river flow and will not be counted against sea son allotments. It will be charged for at 50 cents an acre foot. The fun will continue for about two weeks and the district official hopes that users will "be reason able in demands so that we will hot be forced to deliver on a ra tion basis." He stressed the importance of, fall irrigation, pointing out that! 1956 could be a serious year for water supply. Prospects are fain that Wickiup and Crane . Prairie: r"srvoirs can be filled during winter, but due to adverse water-j shd conditions, river flow will probably be below normal. i Scant Hope Held For Prospectors SPIRIT LAKE. Wash. (UP) Maggie, a bloodhound who once hunted escaped convicts, today gave search parties slim hope that they may yet rescue two elderly uranium hunters lost since Sunday in the Mt. St. Helens wilderness area. The dog today resumed her search of a "hot scent" picked up yesterday when she led searchers eight miles along the ridee of Goat Mountain. Missing are Charles Ai leer. 85. Tacoma. and Charles Dickens. 70. San Diego. Mixed rain and mist hampered yesterday's search and prompted District Ranger Marshall stener ton to fear for the prospectors' lives. The weather halted use of a civil air patrol search plan. Service, MSTS, commander, had i flown ffom his Washington head quarters to Point Barrow to direct personally the nip-and-tuck race with the shifting Arctic ice. Ice Conditions Bad The Navy said the ice condi tioas were worse than had been expected because the Arctic ice pack had failed to recede as it usually does for a few weeks in late summer from the north coast al areas of Alaska. It said per- vei-se winds this year had pushed the ice pack back and forth. The Navy said the ships iu its giant supply operation, which be gan in July, had gone through un charted waters never before visit ed by anything larger than in Eskimo kayak. It said the shiDS moved through the Arctic waters with the aid of underwater de molition teams, icebreakers and hastily prepared on - the - scene charts. The operation of hauling supplies for the chain of radar stations to be built on the northern rim of the continent was being carried nn from both Pacific and Atlantic ap proaches. - High Foundation Seed Mark Set Special to The Bulletin REDMOND County A'ent Gene Lear reported today that the largest acreage of foundation potato seed in the history of Des chutes county was approved this year by the certification special ist, George Clark, of Oregon State Coliege.

Rains Bring Fire Relief In California SAN FRANCISCO (UP) A heavy rain has smothered all but two of California's major forest fires, and officials are optimistic that those will soon be under con trol. Nearly an inch of rain fell yes terday on fire-plagued Siskiyou county bringing an end to the two-week-old fire emergency. Fire dis patcher James Pratley said the U. S. Forest Service was in the process of "demobilizing" the army of fire fighters which had been rushed to the firelines from all parts of the West. These men included U. S. Army troops from Arizona and New Mex ico, and convicts from California prisons. Howevers, the storm did not ex tend as far south as Fresno and Santa Barbara where stubborn blares v.-ere still burning. 2 Boys Confess Vandalism; Parents to Pay Parents of two boys who enter -d the Kingston school at midnight on Sept, 9 and stolp or danviged prop rty valued at $1-11.75 will have to ay the bill.

The report gave no details of the 60-year-old, white-goat eed Soviet statesman's "Illness." - At the end of a long dispatch about the arrival In Moscow to day of Finnish President Juno Paaslkivi and a delegation from Helsinki, Tass said. "Chairman of the Council of Minis tors of the USSR X. A. Bul garia was unable because of Ill ness to ire present at the airport reception.' This was transmitted by tele type to Western correspondents in Moscow. I.onlon reported that Radio Moscow had made no mention of Bulganin's Illness on domestic or international broadcasts. Local Snags Westinqhouse Work Return PITTSBURGH (UP) A majori ty of 44.000 members of the CIO International Union of Electrical Workers reported for work at 27 Westinqhouse Electric Corp. planls today but the key local which had sparked a nationwide walkout re mained out on strike. The announcement late Wednes day by Local 601 at the firm's bin East Pittsburgh works that "the strike is still on" followed a vote by the IUE's Westinghouse Con ference Board, representing all the union's Westinghouse locals, ap proving peace agreements reached by top negotiators. The local's action apparently raised a major obstacle to com-rany-wide wage negotiations ten tatively scheduled to open here to day. Local 601, the largest IUE group m Westinghouse operations, represents approximately 8,500 workers, including 2,200 daywork ers whose objections to a comparty time-study plan touched off tiie na tionwide walkout. Overwhelming Vote Reported The 60-man conference board re portedly voted "overwhelmingly" to end the 72-hour company-wide strike effective Wednesday mid night by accepting twin agree ments reached by IUE President James B. Carey and company Vice President R. D. Blasier. The move overruled an earlier vole by some 2,200 members of Local 601 rejecting the settlement plan. The subsequent announcement by the local that it would "not return to work against the wishes of our membership" presented a direct challenge to the board. One part of the agreement ac cepted by the board called for end ing the East Pittsburgh strike. The! second applied to the IUE Inter national and all its locals. Both sections provided that the time study dispute would be taken up in the national wage negotiations.! Settlement Termed Fair Blasier termed the settlement "fair to management, union and employes." In accepting the agreement, the board stipulated the union's right to strike Oct 15 barring achieve ment of an acceptable peace for mula. . The walkout in 28 Westinghouse plants began last Monday as a sympathy move after the confer ence board had endorsed the strike of Local 601 at East Pittsburgh. The East Pittsburgh strike be gan Aug. 8 when the 2.200 day workers walked out in protest against a company time study ot tlieir jobs. The huge plant was virtually idled as more than 6.000 additional production and clerical j workers were furloughed because of the strike. new prf;siiet PORTLAND (UP) Thomas B.

Adenauer Seeks Approval of Agreements Parliamentary BONN, Germany (UP) Clian cellor Konrad Adenauer met to day with his Cabinet to begin n drive, ior parliamentary approval of his Moscow agreements. He ran into immediate charges by the Socialist opposition that he had sacrificed chances of German unity. Behind the Iron Curtain, the East German Communists denied that Adenauer had received a Soviet promise to free German prisoners. Bonn officials dismissed this as Red propaganda and even Aden auer's opposition preferred to be lieve the Chancellor and expressed confidence the Soviets would car ry out the promise. The Cabinet met one day before an East German delegation head One of Largest Sales of Cattle Set at Prineville S -viiil to The Bulletin PRIN EVILLE One of the larrf est single cattle deals in modern time was completed here this week when the Hudspeth Land and Live stock Co. sold approximately 4,009 head of yearlings, steers and heif ers to Wilson and Co., of Los An geles, Calif.

Propaganda Move The official Communist party newspaper Neues Deutschland said in a dispatch from Moscow that Adenauer "claimed" that he "al ledgedly" received such a Soviet promise to free prisoners. It quoted the Soviet press chief as saying the prisoners question was an all German matter and not a subject of the West German-Soviet nego tiations.
