The top floor contained a chil dren's school room and other fa cilities which were unoccupied at the time. The babies and children were quickly taken to adjoining build ings and corridors of the hospital away from danger. They were not removed from the hospital, the spokesman said.

Oregon officials assert merger would take jobs PORTLAKD VPV- The state of Oregon asserted today a pro posed four - railroad merger will cost Oregon about $2.3 million in payrolls. The remarks came as opponents of the merger took the stand in the third day of Interstate Com merce Commission hearings here. Earlier. Oregon businessmen spoke in favor of the merger. The lines thai want to merge are the Northern Pacific; Great Northern; Spokane. Portland and Seattle, and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. The Oregon Public Utilities Commission said in addition to wiping out jobs, the merger would cut competition, hurt service, and decrease control over boxcar sup ply. Washington and Minnesota also oppose the merger. Businassmn For It Grain and lumber shippers and other Oregon businessmen had contended the merger would im prove service, increase car sup ply, and reduce rates. They said under cross-examination their support tor the merger was based on business Judgment, not on promises from the four lines. Several businessmen said if Ine merger reduced rates, they would transfer some shipping from trucks back to railroads. The question of why two small Oregon lines were excluded from Uie merger plans was raised dur ing the hearing. The lines Oregon Trunk and Oregon Electric are owned by subsidiaries of two of the lines that want to merge. Opponents of the merger sug gested that Uie two lines were left out of the merger plans so that they could retain revenue and tax advantages.

REPORT EARTHQUAKE HONG KONG (UPP-A strong earthquake shook Hong Kong early today, rocking buildings and rattling window nanes There were no reports of casu alties and the epicenter of the ouake was not immediately known. Cutoff date in feed grain program may be extended past March 30 By Gaylord P. Godwin UPI Staff Writer WASHINGTON (UPP There Is a possibility the Agriculture De partment may extend beyond March 30 the cutott dale tor farmers to participate In the 1962 feed grain program. Cold and wet weather in the Corn Belt states has hampered field work and many farmers still are not sure Just how much corn they will plant. It may be that some of them, if they get too far behind in their plowing, may de cide to participate in Uie program. If Uiey do. Uicy will be diverting corn acreage from pro duction and getting paid to do so. The department's March inten tions to plant report earlier this week showed that corn acreage this year probably will be 3.5 per cent larger than in 1061. The corn to be grown probably will just about equal demand. This would leave no place for the surplus corn already in government bins to go. More corn acreage diver sion, therefore, undoubtedly would be welcomed by the department. Agreements to divert corn acreage in favor of government payments under the 1962 feed grain program are not keeping pace with those of the 1961 pro gram. So far this year, some 9.8 million acres have been signed for diversion. At the same lime a year ago, more than 16.6 mil lion acres had been signed. The apparent lessened interest in the 1962 program as com pared, with the 1961 signup, and the bad weather in the Corn Belt may persuade Uie department to extend Uie signup period. The department said that plow ing arJ other field work nave made little progress across the northern half of the country this vear. Snow and continued wet fields have been major draw hacks. These conditions also blocked the clean-up of the un harvested 1961 crops especially in southern Iowa. Illinois. Missouri, and Kansas. On the other hand, mild February weather enabled farmers across the southern areas of the country to make up for delays caused by diy soils in the fall. Operators of 7.17,675 farms through March 8 had agreed to divert 12.2 million acres from wheat production to conserving practices this year. The acres now signed for diversion are about 22 per cent of 1961 wheat plantings of 55.6 million acres and sliahtly more Ulan 32 per cent of the 37 8 million program acres on signed farms.

Breakthrough not in sight at Geneva meet GENEVA (UPP The 17-nation disarmament conference entered Its second week today, deadlocked on all key issues ana wiui no immediate breakUirough in sight Despite its discouraging record, the Geneva talks have not wor sened the international situation, nor have Uiey heightened cold war tensions. NeiUicr Uie full-dress conference nor Uie off-stage ministerial talks have been able to mark any ad vance on a Berlin settlement, a nuclear test ban accord, or an agreed approach to disarmament Still Some Hope But Western and Communist of ficials warned against a prema ture writing off of the Geneva talks. Even if Uie Berlin and test ban talks fail altogether here, the dis armament negotiations for global or parUal agreements will con tinue. Areas of disagreement have been clarified. At the same Ume, areas of a possible understand ing on individual arms issues in some distant future have been spotlighted. Some conference participants claim the Geneva talks whatever their merits were keeping a path ooen to the summit. The Communists notably w ere already pointing to Uie Geneva deadlocks as an added reason for a heads of governments get-together. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush chev resisted Uie foreign minis ters meeting here and might at anv time turn to President Ken- Kennedy has brief career as Sunday painter NEW YORK fl'PP- President Kennedy has had a brief career as a "Sunday painter," turning out about a d o i e n canvases which decorate Uie private family quarters at the White House and his home in Hyannis Port, Mass., it was disclosed today. An article in the current issue of McCall s magazine said Mrs. i Kennedy, who has been a prolific amateur artist since childhood. ! introduced her husband to the 'pleasures of painting during his convalescence Iran a back opera tion In 1955. The article said the President showed a predilection for landscapes with architecture bathed in brilliant sunlight. "This 'career' lasted only as long as his convalescence and was abandoned once he was well again, because he thought he had no gift," the magazine said. "Oth ers more knowledgeable disagree they say he show s real talent in Uie 'Mainstream' style, Uiat his paintings are reminiscent of L'tril lo's, better than some of Winston Churchill's."
