CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER T HP OUT OF THE PAST Buck Brown arrived in Bend last night on a 1,400 mile trip from Hesperia, California to the World's Fair at Seattle. Brown is shown giving two local youngsters, two.year-old Megan Phillips and her four-year-old brother Soviet pledge turned down by U.S., Britain GENEVA (UPI) The Soviet Union offered today to refrain from further nuclear testing dur ing the present 17-nation disarma ment talks if the United States and Britain would do the same. But the Russians made no men tion of international controls as demanded by the West, and the proposal was turned down by American and British delegates who said a Russian promise could not be taken at face value. "I say this with regret, but we do not have any confidence in a Soviet pledge," chief American delegate Arthur H. Dean told the conference. British Minister of State Joseph Godber said "the United Kingdom could not take up a Soviet offer which gives us no security at all." Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian Zorin pleaded that Dean's answer was inconclusive, so the American tried again. Dean Explains "I thought I made it abundantly clear." Dean said, "that the Unit ed States would find any unilater al moratorium unacceptable." Dean reminded Zorin that the Soviet Union had declared during Uiree years of earlier fruitless Iks on a test ban agreement ijlat it would not test nuclear weapons. Yet it broke that prom ise, making preparations in sec ret and setting off a nuclear test series last fall. "There is no sound basis for an agreement based on pledges," Dean said. "Agreements must provide for international control. Past experience has not been happy. FREE DELIVERY til PHARMACY Hi WALL ST. EV 2 - Twenty Pages Again tonight, Friday Opening night hit scored by musical By I la S.

The show, themed on "The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant," Cuba to free 54 wounded, sick POW's HAVANA (UPD-Jubilant mem bers of the Cuban exile delega tion attempting to buy the free dom of the Bay of Pigs invasion prisoners made plans today to return to the United States with 54 wounded and sick invaders to be released under an agreement with Premier Fidel Castro. The delegation, in face-to-face talks with the Cuban leader who is demanding $62 million in ran som for the 1,179 prisoners, agreed to deposit an undisclosed sum of cash in the Royal Bank of Canada in Montreal payable to the Banco Natcional de Cuba, for the release of the first group.

Commemorative mail may be sent with the team. The next stop is Salem. will be repeated tonight and Fri day. Curtain time is 8 o'clock. The show has particular appeal lor baseball fans and music lov ers, but it isn't necessary to know a triple play from a cadenza, in order to have a good time at "Damn Yankees." There's enough sex, nonsense and spectacle to amuse anyone. And the cast goes through the production with en thusiasm and exuberance with numerous displays of excellence in showmanship. Outstanding, first nighters agreed, is Jim Smith in the part of Mr. Applegate. As the conniv ing devil, he not only looks the part, but stays in character every minute. Michelle Dearth, as the sensu ous Lola, does some impressive hoofing and singing, and besides that, she's quite an eye-ful. She executes the noted strip tease with finesse, emerging in some mighty fetching skivies. Janice Monical contributes her pulchritude with good effect, and besides that, she pivots, preens and plots with admirable skill. Pretty Kathy Boardman has a mature cnaractenzation in this show, and those who were disap pointed that she had limited op portunities to exude her charm were pleased that her exception ally fine voice is fully exploited in several songs. One of the highlights was a dance bit, with John Olsen as Miss Dearth's partner. Nick Norton and Terry Carty were well received as Joe Boyd and Joe Hardy, Claudia Graves and Sylvia Bleything gave comic relief as Doris and Sister, dowdy but determined fans. Federal action aimed at CBS NEW YORK (UPI) The Jus tice Department filed suit in Fed eral Court today against the Col umbia Broadcasting Svs- j tern charging that its new pay ment system for affiliated TV stations violates the Sherman an titrust law. The government requested that CBS be forbidden to use the new payment system because it forces ABC affiliates to take almost all their afternoon and evening pro- i grams from the network. I The suit said the system had . reduced competition In the produc tion and sale of television pro grams by independent producers and has limited some national ad- j vertisers' chances of obtaining prime broadcast time. I The complaint said that under a plan used since January, 1961, certain CBS affiliates are re quired to take more programs from the network to receive the same payments. Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Thursday, April 12, Ship workers back, but not happy about it SAN FRANCISCO- (UPI) The West Coast maritime industry, idled by strike for 27 days, re sumed operations today under a Taft-Hartley law order requested by President Kennedy but the trouble was far from over. The Pacific Maritime Associa tion and striking seamen, firemen and cooks and stewards agreed to comply with the order, although they opposed the move and ex pressed little hope that a settle ment in their dispute could be reached during the 80-day cooling off period. Order Issued U.S. DisL Judge George B. Harris issued a temporary re straining order Wednesday to per mit ships to be loaded and sailed. He set a hearing for Monday, when he is expected to convert the order into a preliminary in junction. The first of some 60 PMA ves sels idled in West Coast ports tu.u Hawaii were expected to sail by the end of the week. Members of the PMA operate 120 ships, but some are still at sea and others have been released to handle vi tal military cargo. Presidential Move President Kennedy asked the U.S. Department of Justice to in tervene in the dispute after a breakdown of mediation efforts and receipt of a report by a Uiree man presidential board of inquiry as required by the Taft-Hartley law. The President's action was based in part on a series of pleas from Gov. William F. Quinn of Hawaii, who had declared a state of emergency in the island state because of dwindling food sup plies. Hawaii depends on shipping for about 65 per cent of its food stuff. Quinn said he was gratified by the federal intervention, but add ed, "We are all aware that the injunction is not a final solution to the problem." Doubt Expressed Bolii the PMA and striking un ions expressed doubt that full op erations would be maintained dur ing the next 80 days. The unions said they would re sist sailing on any vessels that would not return to a U.S. port before the deadline. The PMA said it would seek to avoid send ing vessels which might return empty because they could not bo unloaded after the 80-day period. "On the basis of the difficulties that now exist," said J. Paul St. Sure, president of the PMA, "I have no hope of settlement in 80 days." The Taft-Hartley Act was In voked in West Coast maritime strikes in 1948 and 19S1 and each time failed to prevent renewal of the walkouts. The present strike began March IS after a breakdown in negotiations. N.Y. teachers forced back to their jobs NEW YORK (UPI) - Nearlv 20,000 striking public school teachers returned to their class rooms today after a one-day siaie supreme t iurt Injuncuon. A spokesman for the Board of Education reported that all schools opened this morning with out incident. Picket lines, which were withdrawn Wednesday ninht under threat of arrest, were not reestablished. Union leaders reluctantly com plied with the injunction which forbade continuation of the strike in any form. The writ was ob tained by the Board of Education under the state Condon-Wadlin law which outlaws strikes bv dud- lic employes. Outbreak Reported The decision ended a bitter one- day walkout that led to outbreaks by students in under-supervised classrooms across the city. The United Federation of Teach ers (UFT), which called the strike when its demands for a $33 mil lion pay package were rejected, agreed early today to obey the injunction obtained by the Board of Education. The strike, which affected near ly all of the city's 840 public schools, came to an end after a stormy, seven-hour meeting of the union's executive board. Entailed Penalties, Fines UFT President Charles Cogcn said the union agreed to the court order becauso it "entailed penalties of jail sentences and severe fines for the rank and file teachers." The injunction that ended the walkout was granted by State Supreme Court Justice William C. Hecht who said that "teachers, as professionals dealing in a vital public service, are barred from striking on the same grounds as are doctors, nurses, policemen and firemen. ' : , ' . . The walkout also was a viola tion ot the Condon-Wadlin Act, B state law that prohibits strikes by public employes. If enforced, the striking teachers would be dis missed, but School Supt. John J. Theobald announced late Wednes day night that teachers who re turn to work immediately would be exempt from punitive action under the Condon-Wadlin Act. Students Riot More than half of the city's 39,681 teachers joined in the walk out and tiie resulting lack of supervision led to rioU in several classrooms which were trans formed into scenes resembling those from the film "Blackboard Jungle." The worst trouble was at Se ward Park High School on the Lower East Side, where 1,000 of the school's 3,500 pupils went on a rampage. The 40 teachers who were In side the school stood by helplessly while students ran screaming through the corridors, throwing books, eggs, and cartons of water at one another. Similar disturbances were re ported at a number of other schools and extra police were called in to crush the brawls. Negotiations which failed to re solve the dispute were carried on in an atmosphere cf mounting re sentment, aggravated by a politi cal hassle betwetn Democratic Mayor Robert F. Wagner and Re publican Gov. Nelson A. Rocke feller over state financial aid to education. Expansion set by Reporter PORTLAND (UPI) The Port land Reporter, afternoon tabloid started during the Portland news paper strike, announced today it was leasing additional property to provide for future expansion. Publisher Robert D. Webb told a news conference that the half block adjoining the Reporter building had been leased and that plans were being made to expand mechanical and office facilities. The Rose City Development Co., owner of the Reporter building, bought the property and has leased it to the Reporter. We are gratified by the public acceptance of the Reporter, Webb said. "Recent rapid growth does present some problems but they are problems we re nappy to have." He said circulation now was "well over 60,000," and that ad vertising linage had grown 10 per cent per month during the past six months. The Reporter was founded two years ago as a weekly by unions striking against the Oregon Jour nal and the Oregonian. It became a daily Feb. 11, D6L 1962 Kennedy studies possible action, isi steel sftuaf ion Start due soon Beaverton man low bidder on new span By Phil F. Brogan Bulletin Staff Writer A Beaverton contractor, George Berry, was apparent low bidder on the project calling for con struction of a new bridge over the Deschutes River in Bend on the route of the Cascade Lakes High way when proposals were receiv ed Wednesday. Berry's bid for the construction of the 140-foot long bridge that will replace the present traffic and termite weakened span was $50,147. It was received by the Oregon State Highway Commis sion at its Wednesday meeting in Salem. Berlin aAs to resume next Monday WASHINGTON (UPI) Secre tary of State Dean Rusk and So viet Ambassador Anatoli F..Dob rynin will resume U. S.-Rus-'m talks on Berlin Monday, the State Department announced today, A U. S. spokesman said the United States took the initiative in calling the meeting after con sultation with Its allies. Rusk and'Dobrynin will meet at 2:30 p.m. EST Monday at the State Department. Shortly before the announce ment of the Rusk-Dobrynin talks, Lucius D. Clay told State Depart ment newsmen that reduced East- West tension over Berlin in re cent weeks held out "more hope" for successful negotiations to solve the crisis over the divided city. The latest round of U.S.-Soviet talks on Berlin took place In Ge neva last month between Rusk and Soviet Foreign Minister An drei Gromyko. No progress was reported. But Rusk and Gromyko agreed that contacts would be resumed "In an appropriate way after report ing to their respective govern ments and after consultation with their allies." State Department spokesman Lincoln White told newsmen he was not prepared to say whether the talks will now remain in Washington for a time. He said he also could not discuss the ex tent to which a one-day meeting could get into substantive issues or procedural matters. Clay met with Rusk before talk ing with reporters. The retired general, who is bow ing out after seven months as President Kennedy's special rep resentative in Berlin, said he would "hesitate to predict" that the recent lessening of Soviet "harassment" there foreshadowed any real change in long range Communist strategy. Clay added, however, that "In the improved atmosphere there is always more hope of negotiations being successful." First Minuternan missile rolls off assembly line HILL AFB. Utah (UPI) -The first Minuteman missile rolled off the assembly line at Air Force Plant 77 today, marking a major milestone in the nation's ballistic missile program. Maj. Gen. T. P. Gerrity, com mander of the Air Force Command Ballistic Missiles Sys tems Division, was speaker at brief ceremonies marking the event. Eventually, about 900 nuclea tipped "instant ICBM" Minute- man missiles will be Duried in silos throughout the United States, ready for instantaneous retaliation in event of nuclear war. The first operational missiles are to be in stalled this summer. Ten Cents Construction of the concrete span is expected to get under way within 30 days after the contract is let. This will mean construc tion during the tourist season, and will pose a temporary traffic problem. Long at Possible Traffic will be maintained over the present span as long as pos sible. When it is razed for pile driving, traffic from the west will be diverted over Harmon Boule vard to the Newport Avenue Bridge. This, it was indicated, will call for some temporary con trols at the Newport - Wall- Greenwood intersection, where an inte. section "headache" already exists. Local traffic moving west will have the choice of either the New pos t or Portland Avenue spans. It is not expected that the Tum alo Avenue closure will be over any great time. City Manager Walter T. .Thomp son said that city officials had originally hoped that the Tumalo Avenue Bridge job could be done in the fall, but this suggestion did not fit into highway commission plans. , . The Tumalo Bridge project will I be entirely financed by the Ore- gon State Highway Department. The proposed widening cf Galves ton, to come up later, will be on a 75 per cent state, 25 per cent city basis. The commission at its meeting Wednesday also received bids for paving a 9.46 mile section of the Santiam Highway, from Sisters to the Jefferson County line. Bend Aggregate & Paving, submitted the apparent low bid, $101,490.

Earlier work start planned Sptclal to Th Bulletin PRINEVILLE Prineville's city council voted unanimously to keep city clocks at standard time but to go to work an hour ear lier, beginning April 29. The vole was taken, without any effer of dis cussion or disagreement at the council's regular monthly meet-1 ing Tuesday of this week. In other council business, mem bers heard Ralph Brown, city at torney, read a letter from Joe Larkin, Redmond attorney, stat ing that he is representing Mrs. Mary Jones, Prineville, in a suit against the city. The letter stated that Mrs. Jones is claiming the loss of business in property val ued at $26,000, as operator of a nursing home west of Prineville. The attorney wrote that his client had been forced to close her business due to odors from the city's sewer lagoon system a short distance down the lower Crooked River road from her property. City officials indicated that tney will fight the suit. Mrs. Jones' attorney offered to settle the case for $15,000. Some months ago, ihe city set tled out of court with three prop erty owners immediately adja cent to the sewer lagoons, when It was claimed Jiat the property had been totally devaluated by seepage from the lagoons. No. 108 JFK huddles with his top advisors WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi dent Kennedy and high Cabinet advisors held an unusual White House meeting today to explore a broad range of possible govern ment actions to combat effects of the steel price increase. The meeting brought together Cabinet members and aeencv heads concerned with the steel sit uation. The conference began at 8:50 a.m. and lasted 40 minutes. The President set up the meet ing and had not expected to par ticipate personally. As the discus- ' sion progressed, however, he joined the group for about 15 minutes, taking part in the talk.: One of the first results was ex pected to be a statement from Defense Secretary Robert S. Mc- Namara concerning - steel pur chases by his. department. Tho President told lus news confer ence Wednesdiy, during a scath ing attack on steel management. that the $6 per ton once rise would increase defense costs by' about $1 billion annually. Stool to Reply Roger M. Blough, board chair- ., man of U.S. Steel, called a mid afternoon news conference In New York City where he is ex peciea 10 give uie industry's reply to the President's denuncia tion. , Acting press secretary Andrew Hatcher said participants in the While House meeting includ ed Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, Labor Secretary Arthur J. Gold berg, Commerce Secretary Luther H. Hodges, Treasury Undersecretary Henry Fowler and McNamara. Other participants were Chair man Walter Heller of the Council of Economic Advisers and Chauv man Paul Rand Dixon of the Federal Trade Commission. A number of White House staff members sat in. Question of Collusion Hatcher said the question of possible price collusion among major steel companies did not come up. He said that the de termination of any such legal is sue was the province of the Justice Department. Hatcher said he knew of no contact between the White House and steel management since the President's news conference. At that time, Kennedy lashed out at steel management, accus ing the Industry of a "ruthless disregard" for the public interest. He said the price increase was "wholly unjustifiable." Hatcher reported about 500 telegrams were received at the White House and the ratio was about two and a half to one in favor of Kennedy's position. Hatcher declined to say whether the White House had any reason to hope the price increase would be withdrawn. However, he pointed out that the President made it clear he would like steel prices to remain as they were. Kennedy also lashed out at what he called "a tiny handful of steel executives whose pursuit of private power and profit exceeds their sense of public responsibil ity." He accused steel manage ment of showing "utter con tempt" for the American people.
