One of the cars, which entered the highway from the Alfalfa road, is shown at left, the other is facing aska KODIAK, Alaska (UPI) -Alaska officials seized a second Jap anese catcher vessel, the Solichi Mara, in the Shclikoff Strait late Sunday night, apparently com pleting their crackdown on for eign vessels fishing in what they claimed are inland waters. Gov. William A. Egan said the complaint was served on the cap tain of the vessel without incident and that the boat was proceeding to Kodiak. He said the captain would be arraigned on the same charges as were the captains of the Oh tori Maru, another catcher ves sel which was seized Saturday night, and the Banshu Maru, mother ship of the Japanese fish ing fieet. First Casualty In the boarding of the Soliclii Maru just before midnight, state Exiles planning to seek ransom money in U.S. MIAMI (LPI)-Sixty ransomed Cuban invasion prisoners relaxed with their families today while ex ile leaders made plans for them to tour the country appealing for funds to release 1.119 comrades still in Castro's jails. Enrique Llaca, spokesman for the Cuban Families Committee which arranged the barter of $2 5 million for the 60 sick and wound ed captives, said the drive for more funds will start in New York next Monday. All but the most severely wound ed of the released prisoners will make appearances in cities across the United States, Llaca said. Arrived Saturday The freed captives arrived here Saturday for an emotional and tumultuous welcome from 20.000 of tlieir eheering-crying refugee countrymen. Twenty-five were temporarily hospitalized, the rest fed and reunited with families tliey had not seen for a year. All GO vowed to return to Cuban prisons unless SWI million more was provided to buy the freedom of tlieir comrades still held by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Llaca appeared optimistic about securing the release of the oilier men captured in the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion April 17, 1!51. He said Castro was "eager to negotiate" and quoted Castro as saying that "within Tour months all the prisoners will be back in the United States. Plans Draw Criticisms But plans to continue the men-for-money barter with Castro drew sharp criticism from some Cuban exile groups and American politicians. Rep. L. Mendel Rivers. DSC, called it "a bizarre and mnlevo lent scheme of blackmail " He said "there is no reason to be lieve" Castro will abide by his word to turn over all the prison ers for the established ransom of $2 million. "T!ve who cnntribuie one pen ny to the negotiation! 'with Cas tro) shall be takin; it away from the w of liberation." said the Stude.it Revolutionary Directorate, one of two exile groups to con den1 a the move. 5 BR fishing boat 7 ' policeman Jerry Williams became the first casualtj of the operation when he slipped and broke his leg. He was to be airlifted from Die Alaska Fishing and Game Department boat Widgeon to Ko diak for treatment. A spokesman tor the governor said the seizure of the Solichi Maru apparently wrapped up the crackdown. He said there were no plans to pursue and arrest any more of the Japanese vessels. State Fish and Game Depart ment officials indicated the ac tions were taken to protect the strait's rich crab-fishing grounds. One official said the state was not so much concerned with Japa nese fishing for herring in the area, as the seized vessel was doing. Unrestricted Right! What they were worried about, however, was that if the Japanese were allowed to do so unhindered, they would later think they had unrestricted fishing rights and would cut into the crab-fishing which netted Alaskan fishermen 27 million pounds of crab meat last year. The official said crab-fishing in recent years had become an im portant item in the Kodiak Island and Alaska economies. The puruist of the second ves sel, believed to be the catcher J ship Shoichi Maru No. 7 was launched Sunday and was being i pressed by the Fish and Game j Department's motorbarge, the j Widgeon. An airplane was used earlier but had to give up the l search because of darkness. Weatherman predicts rain for region The weatherman came up with an unexpected prediction today for t lie five days ahead: "More than normal precipita tion with recurring shower pe riods through Saturday." That brings the prediction right up to the eve of Easter Sunday. There was no sjiecial forecast for Easter. I Incidentally, the prediction for I more than normal moisture was for Oregon east of the Cascades. Temperatures over the plateau in the period arc expected to be I mild, ranging between 60 and 75 I for the highs and 32 to 45 for Hie lows.

At Intersection The crash occurred as the Bend car, operated by John Tucker, swung into U.S. Highway 20, fac ing west, as the Oatman car, heading east, approached.

French drive off OAS force in gun fight ALGIERS (UPn-Seeret Army commandos attacked a French army camp on the outskirts of Oran today but were driven off in a spectacular three hour gun battle. At least one of the French forces wis killed. Ten persons were woiu:ded, eight of them ci vilians. The OAS commandos apparently were seeking arms. A Moslem sentry sounded the alort with a gunshot and the battle was on. Mobilo units rushed in and helped drive the insurgents back into buildings on the fringe of the city. The OAS commandos continued firing from the windows and roof tops of a slaughterhouse and a liquor warehouse but tie French troops finally drove mem oil. Fighting Erupts The fighting erupted during a general strike by Europeans which tied up the big western Al gerian port city. Thousands of gendarmes, sol diers and marine commandos cordoned off the whole downtown European section to prevent vio lence there. Police loud speaker trucks ordered civilians in the central Plas des Victoires Square to shutter windows. The marines trained machine guns on bal conies. A strong force of OAS com mandos flaunted its defiance of the French security forces over the weekend with a bold daylight raid on the Central Telephone Ex change in Oran. First Reprisals The weekend also saw the first reprisals by Moslem civilians against European terrorism since the March 19 cease-fire. Two Eu ropeans, were killed and another injured by a Moslem mob Sunday in the Algiors suburb of Maison Carree where OAS terrorists have been active In recent weeks. A hiob of Moslems' also staged an angry protest demonstration against terrorist bombings near Blida. The OAS campaign of terrorism is aimed at provoking Moslems into mass uprising against Euro peans in hopes of wrecking the Franco-Algerian rebel peace set tlement. Leaders of the National Liberation Front (FLN) have urged Moslems to refrain from striking back and the orders had been obeyed.

Carpenter strike Blue-headed City trying out new-type meters One hundred meters of Oie mul ti-coin selector type were hi oper ation in Bend today, following their installation over Uie week end. The blue-headed meters are on the east side of Wall Street from Louisiana to Greenwood, and on Franklin, Minnesota, Oregon and Greenwood between Wall and Bond. A feature of tlife new metors Is a warning yellow flag that ap pears If a meter has been tamp ered with or if it is out of ordor. The expired flag is of the usual color, red. The meters are of the one-hour type which take either pennies U.S. denies plan to trim size of W. Berlin garrison WASHINGTON (UPI.)- The State Department today denounc ed as wholly inaccurate a report Uiat tho United States had pro posed a 3,500-man reduction in the Western garrison in Berlin as part of a settlement offer to the Russians. State Department spokesman Lincoln White called a special news conference and announced to newsmen that "no such pro posal on troop reductions has been made." The statement was made only a lew hours belore Secretary ot State Dean Rusk was scheduled Belle's baby has trouble with trunk PORTLAND. Ore. (UPD-Port- land's famous newly-born elephant tipping the scales at a bouncing 225 pounds squealed today and tried to figure out what to do with his tiny trunk. His three-ton mother, Belle, ap peared proud of the first baby elephant born in this country in 43 years. Her shy gray son peered at the crowds from between his mother'! legs, but Belle frequently turned to maneuver him into clearer view. The crowds that flocked to Portland Zoo's elephant house to view the youngster were charmed. They lined the glass wall of the exhibition room several deep, and were reluctant to move on. The little 18-Inch trunk kept getting in the way at mealtime, which was quite frequently. The hungry youngster nursed about every 40 minutes. Zoo director Jack Marks, a bit sheepish after fainting following the 5:58 a.m. birth Sauraay, was back on the Job. Marks collapsed about an hour after the baby was born. A hos pital blamed it on strain and sent Marks home to rest. 10-year JC plan okayed by state SALEM (UPI) - Tho State Emergency Board gave quick ap proval today to the 10 year plan for development of a junior col lege in Clatsop County. The action allows the Oregon Education De partment to release $175,000 for renovation of an Astoria high school building, the new college's first building. Board members praised Ihe 10 year plan, drawn up by officials of the newly-formed Clatsop Coun ty Area Education District. Dr. Leon P. Minear, state su perintendent of public instruction, said Clatsop's plan, the first so far, sets a '1iigh standard" for other new junior college district! in Oregon drawing up similar 10 year plans. to provide 12 minutes parking, or a nickel for a full hour's park ing. But something new has been added: The meters will also accept dimes or quarters, but will give only one hour's parking for the larger sums. This is part of the multi-coin selector arrangement available at some future time if longer parking is made available in the newly-metcred zones. Also, in the old meters, dimes are occasionally placed hi the meters, but no time is given and the coin is "lost." With the new heads, the use of a dime or a quarter will yield an hour's time. to meet with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly F. Dobrynin In the first of a new round of talks on Berlin. White referred specifically to a published report from Bonn that the United States was proposing a possible reduction in the num ber of U.S., British and French troops In West Berlin from 12,500 to 9,000. Blow at Morale He said the "piece in the pa pers Uiis morning is wholly in accurate." Officials added privately that it was remarkable that sources in Bonn would seek, as they put it, to "undermine the morale of the people of Berlin." They re ferred to the sources who provid ed the material for the news story. The Allies have been bickering over how far to go In an effort to win Soviet agreement to a set tlement which would ease recur ring tensions over Berlin. West Germany expressed con cern over some of the concessions Rusk was cxiiected to offer. Chan cellor Konrad Adenauer was par ticularly displeased with Ameri can proposals to give Communist East Germany somewhat more status In the area. American officials emphasized that the United Suites had no In tention of retreating from its firm determination that the Western Allies must remain In West Berlin and have free access to the Red encircled city. Scraping Barrel's Bottom The Kennedy administration, however, appeared to be scrap ing the bottom of the barrel in a search for minor concessions to trade Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev for renewed Russian guarantees of the Allied position. Reports from Bonn, whore news of U.S. Intentions was leaked to the press, said Rusk was reviving a 1959 American offer to reduce the 12,000-mnn Allied garrison in West Berlin by about 25 per cent. The detailed reports from West Germany of U.S. plans, following submission to the Bonn Foreign Office of two confidential US. documents last week, has severely strained the atmosphere between tho two allies. U.S. officials said premature disclosures by the Ger mans were undermining Rusk's nesoliatiiul position. A main feature of Rusk's plan calls for Internationalization of the access routes to Berlin, w ith Com munist East Germany bein given some voice in the arrangement This Is particularly displeasing to the West Germans. Budget hearing planned tonight Directors of School District No. 1 will conduct a hearing on the proposed 1!2-M budget tonight at I p.m. at the library in the Juniur high ichool In Bend. Residents of the district are el- come to attend and discuss the budget, or any phase of It, with directors. Pickets sent to two major Portland jobs PORTLAND (UP1 A strike began today that threatened a re currence of last summer'! major construction tieup in Oregon and southwest Washington. The strike was called by Uie carpenters union which has some 12.000 carpenters, millwrights and pilcdrivers in Oregon and five Southwest Washington counties. It came after negotiations between 10 employer groups and the union broke down. Pickets showed up shortly after 8 a.m. at two major Portland jobs the new Hilton Hotel and the Standard Insurance building, halting work. Gerald Larsen. executive secre tary of Uie Portland District Coun cil of Carpenters, said some in dividual employers signed Interim agreements after the strike be gan. Past Disputes Recalled An employer spokesman laid Sunday night it had not been de cided If a strike against one em ployer would be considered a strike against all. In past disputes employers have shut down other jobs after spot picketing began. . A spokesman for the Portland Home Builders Association said work had not generally halted on house construction because pick ets had not yet appealed at in dividual jobs. Glen Randall, union business agent at Eugene, said the union had signed interim agreements in Lane County and parts of Douglas and Benton counties with about 10 contractors and that work con tinued on those jobs. Federal Mediator George Walk er said he talked to both sides separately Sunday but that It probably would be Wednesday be fore he would be able to bring the two sides together. The union last week rejected three-year conU-act proposed by AGC. Negotiations between the two groups broke off Saturday night after a seven-hour meeting with Walker. Gerald Larsen. executive secre tary of the Portland District Council, said union member! turn ed down the contract proposal by substantial margin. The strike was the second In the construction Industry In Ore gon and Southwest Washington In two years. The Hoisting and Portable Engl ncers last year struck for 54 days against the contractors. Gov. Mark Hatfield Friday is sued an appeal for both sides to avert a strike. He said such a dispute would be too costly to the state. At Uie Saturday meeting, Uie union asked for a one-year con tract with a 20-ccnt an hour wago increase mid a 20-ccnt hike in health and welfare pension bene fits. The union also proposed an in crease In transxirlation reim bursement, a 50-ccnt differential between foremen and journeymen and doubletime for all overtimo. The contractors rejected Uie un ion proposal?. They offered a three-year con tract with a 52-cent an hour wage Increase and continuation of Uie present health and welfare pay ments. PORTLAND (UPI) Office employes continued their strike against uie International Wood workers of America here today and accused the larger unicn of anti-labor action. Sixteen worker! of Office Em ployers Local 11, on strike against Uie IWA since April S, refused to submit to a "back-to-work" order this morning and returned to Uieir picket lines. Office employes said the IWA threatened to fire employes who refused to return to work today. The employe! sid Uiey have pro tested report! that the IWA would "try to get an Injunction against us on a union-busting Taft-Hartley technicality." The itrike resulted from a wage dispute In which the two unions were five cents apart when nego tiations broke down.
