(UPD-New Canadian railroad regulations may be a major step toward eas ing friction over B.C. lumber ex ports to the U.S. market, B.C. forest industry officials said here Friday. Starting July 11, the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian National Railway will abolish the "15-day hold policy which per mits B.C. shippers to delay lum ber shipments in transit at cer tain hold points without demur rage charges. R. J. Gallagher, manager of the Northern Interior Lumbermen's Association in Prince George, said his group is happy with the change in policy. Adverse Effect The 15-day hold policy some times has an adverse effect on lumber prices, he said. It encour aged shippers to start rolling their lumber before markets had been finned up. If the cars were still unsold at the end of the free hold time, the lumber was some times sold at "distress" prices. Gallagher said some segments of the industry may be "a little unhappy" about the change. Some wholesalers feel the 15- day hold policy worked to the shippers advantage. The interior industry is neither large enough nor diversified enough to market their lumber on a firm order basis they said. Terrific Developmenf "This is a terrific development as far as we are concern 1." said B. M. Hoffmeister, president of the Council of Forest Industries of B.C. "It will be a tremendous help to the industry here because it will help stabilize the market," he added. The 15-day hold policy has been a bone of contention witn u.s. lumber producers who claim it ffives the Canadian producers a competitive edge in U.S. markets. The American railways abolish ed the hold policy some time ago. a-ttmnr etilrianl iwll nrDCI.

OSO BLANKS OUT WASHINGTON UPI) The space agency reported Friday that its 458-pound Orbiting Solar Observatory (OSO), perhaps the finest scien'ific satellite ever launched, has stopped sending useful information after 11 weeks of "near perfect operations. In Its brief lifetime of 77 days OSO transmitted nearly 1,000 hours of Information about solar radiations gamma, ultraviolet, X-ray which are not observa- ble except in space above the earth's atmospheric blanket. 54 pacifists carried out on stretchers SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -The second day of demonstrations by a group protesting U. S. nuclear tests ended early today in San Francisco's Federal Court Build ing when 54 demonstrators were carried from the building on stretchers. The action duplicated events of the previous day but the number of passive demonstrators more than doubled. Several members of the erouo said they planned to remain on the steps of the downtown San Francisco building through the weekend. Ira Sandperl, a bearded private school teacher acting as unofficial spokesman for the lead- erless group, said they would con tinue their vigil until at least Thursday. Arrest Protested The demonstration also is in protest of the arrest of the three man crew of the sailboat Every man, which was thwarted in an attempt to sail to the U. S. nuclear-testing area In the Pacific last Sunday. The three crewmen are scheduled to appear In court Thursday. Federal security guards, work ing in relay teams of two, lifted the sitting demonstrators onto stretchers one by one, after first requesting that they leave the building under their own power when it closed at midnight. A crowd of about 75, some sym pathetic, some curious, all non violent, watched outside as the protesters were hauled to a side walk where they got off the stretchers. U. S. Atty. Cecil Poole said building guards found the job of carrying the demonstrators out side "distasteful." But he said the group would not be barred from the building. Worsen Problem Keeping them permanently out out of the building, he said. "would only worsen the problem and cater to the obviously starved effos of the-demonstrators," he added. "Some of these people are sick." The demonstrators sang and whistled patriotic songs as they milled around after being borne outside. All laboratory bids rejected All bids received for construc tion of a silviculture research lab oratory at Bend, on an Awbrey Heights location west of the river, have been rejected by the Pacific Northwest Forest & Range Ex periment Station, U.S. Forest Service. Bids are being reinvited and will be received by the contract ing officers of the Forest and Range Experiment Station, 808 N. E. Sixth Ave., Portland, at 2 p.m., daylight time on June 7. A set of plans is available for inspection in the Bend office of the Experiment Station, in the O'Kane Building. All bids opened when propos als were recently received were considered too high. The DeGree Construction Co., Bend, was low bidder. The firm's basic bid was $171,920. Three bids were received. In the new call for bids, some of the proposed air conditioning equipment is being deleted, and there are some changes in floor- ine. The building is to be a single story wood frami structure, con- sisting of approximately 6000 square feet in area. It will con sist of three wings containing U- brary, offices, two laboratory units, and headrooms. The inter ior of the library, offices and cor. ridors will feature wood paneling. Bids for a somewhat larger sU- viculture laboratory at Wenat chee, Wash., were received about the same time as those for the Bend building. The Wenatchee bids were under the estimates. President ietancourt raced with new re Only handful attend Meeting called by recall group proves dud here Friday night By Bill Thompson Bulletin Staff Writer A pre-July 4 firecracker, in the form of a meeting to drum up in terest in obtaining recall signa tures against four Bend city com missioners, fizzled, hissed and wound up as a dud at the Des chutes County Court House Fri day evening. Purpose of the meeting was to gain signatures and volunteers for door-Uhdoor circulation of recall petitions against commissioners E. L. Nielsen, Paul Reasoner, Richard Carlson and William E. Miller. But only 25 persons showed up for the meeting, and a fair por tion of these did not indicate their sentiment concerning the recall movement. When the final pitch was made for the door-to-door canvassers, only five or six answered the call. The recall committee was form ed after the above named com missioners accepted city mana ger Walter T. Thompson's resig nation last month, and turned down Thompson's offer to stay un til the November election. 200 Signatures Attorney Gottlieb J. Baer, spokesman for the group that calls itself the Citizens Commit tee for Fair City Politics, report ed 200 signatures in his office Fri day plus tome signed, peti tions brought to the recall meet ing. He said there were several oth er petition sheets out, but he gave no indication of how close the group is in obtaining the neces sary 920 signatures necaeo to force a special city recall elec tion on each of the four men. Earlier in the week, however, Baer reported a spot check indi cated there were already almost enough signatures to force a re call vote. At Friday's meeting, Baer ex plained that it had been difficult to get businessmen to accept me petitions. He also said it had been necessary to remove petitions from a fraternal organization. 'Best Solution' A door-to-door canvass ap pears our best solution," he said. DVe could set the required number of signatures in the allot ted 90lay period (using present methods)," Baer said. "But sev eral city employes have asked us to bring it to a head so they can determine their status." Baer, after a question from the audience, said it was legal for commissioners to check names of petition signers, noting it was a matter of public record. Baer shared the rostrum with Mrs. Dorothy Newton, vice presi dent of the committee. President Bob Blakely was in Denver. We are sincerely concerned with keeping Mr. (Walter T.) Thompson as our city manager," Mrs. Newton said. Fine Leaders, But . . . Now these commissioners are fine leaders and they should be given credit. But Uiey haven't treated Mr. Thompson fair. And 99 out of 100 persons In this city are for Mr. Thompson." Mrs. Newton also disagreed with commissioners advertising nationwide for a city manager, and said the Commission was let ting the community and schools down by firing Thompson. "I am very much against ad vertising all over the U.S.," Mrs. Newton said. "We have just as much talent here. And we want to stand behind Mr. Thompson if he is reinstated. I don't think there's a better man to be had. if given the right support." Baer said Thompson had been approached individually by com missioners Reasoner, Nielsen and Carlson and had been asked to resign. "He resigned because he didn't want to get fired," Baer said. "But after he saw the people were behind him, he reconsider ed. "There's a little clique trying to run our city government," Baer said. "That's why they want to replace him." One person in the audience. Bend contractor Robert L. Coats, disagreed. He charged Thompson with hav ing given individuals favors at the expense of the people. "The commissioners," said Coats, "wanted to let Thompson off in a nice way. They're trying to do the right job. Baer. in pointing to Uie al leged "clique," brought out the fact that card games and pinball machines had been shut down as an anti-recall move despite the fact that these were licensed and were controlled. 'The worst Ramble in town was when they raised The Bend Bul letin from a nickel to a dime," a member of the audience interrupted.

Action would block public employes from legislature SALEM (UPI) A plan that would have allowed any public employe in a nonpolicy job to serve in the legislature was de feated late Friday by the Oregon Constitutional Revision Commission. And in the process, the commis sion struck from a proposed new Oregon Constitution the provision that now makes only one type of public employe eligible to serve as a legislator at the same lime-teachers. Teachers and other employes of school and education boards can and do serve as legislators because of a constitutional amend- Car ro striking driver is s after curb, unhurt A car operated by William J. Elkins, 577 East Quimby. Bend struck a curb last night at 11:40 on South Third Street, rolled over and came to rest right side up in the parking area at Wolf's Do nut Den, 808 South Third. Elkins, lone occupant, was not injured, but the car suffered con siderable damage. He said he lost control of the car as he was driv ing north and that it had struck the curb. Police made the run to the scene after receiving a tele phone call that a "terrible acci dent" had occurred. On Thursday evening, a Bend boy, Jimmy Carroll, 401 Dell Lane, was struck by an automo bile in front of Al's Drive In and was taken to the St. Charles Me morial Hospital for treatment, then released. Investigating officer said James Walker, Fossil, was driver of the car. There was no citation. ment approved by the people sev eral years back. Multnomah Circuit Judge Herbert M. Schwab made the motion to let all public employes be elidible. The former Portland School Board member said that if teachers can serve as law makers, then any public employe should have the same right. After this was beaten by a heavy margin, former Gov. Rob ert D. Holmes. Portland, made a motion to leave the present teach ersonly provision untouched, but this, was beaten. Then, several other motions wiich would have made minor changes in eligibility of public employes were all killed, too. Hot Item Seen Eliminating eligibility of teach- promises to be a very hot Item In the 1963 Legislature, which will consider all recommen dations in the new constitution the 17 member commission Is draft ing. A number of solons now hold ing office are teachers, and many others have toucher backgrounds. Opposition to Schwab'i motion was led by State Rep. Clarence Barton, D-CoqulUe. If any state employe could be a legislator, he said, you could have situations where, for example, a worker in the Oregon Motor Vehicle Depart ment and also a solon might be pressured by his department to vote for certain legislation favor ed bv his bosses. You could find equally bad po tential situations in any other state agency. Barton said. Another opponent Supreme Court Justice Kenneth O'Connell said the constitution should be silent on Uie question so that the courts can decide who in public service should be eligible to serve in the legislature. O'Connell added that the eligi bility of no public employe, in cluding teachers, should be spell ed out in such a basic document CARACAS (UPI)-A new revolt against President Romulo Belan court erupted at Venezuela's big gest naval base, about 70 miles west of here, and the government moved quickly to cut off the reb els, authoritative sources said today. The rebellion, second within month, was reported centered at ' the Puerto Cabello base. It wa being led by Lt. Cmdr. Medina SUva and was believed to involve a battalion of 400 marines sta tioned there. However, the uprising apparent-' ly did not have the backing of other forces stationed in the City of Puerto Cabello. ' The government did not issue any immediate communiques con firming the revolt, but official sources said army troops from Puerto Cabello and the City of Valencia, to the south, were mov ing into the area around the na val base to seal it off. Water, electricity and other services and supplies to the base have been cut off, sources her said. Heed Out to Sea The naval Installation was re ported completely under rebel con trol but authoritative informant . said it was "presumed that war ships commanded by loyalist offi cers had succeeded tn heading out to sea. before the rebels could aett them.''

Revolt Crushed On May 4 Communlst-Ied mar ines revolted at the western port of Carupano but were crushed by government troops who fought their way into the city. . News of the new rebellion came as the government compieua preparations for a court-martial trial of some 30 key prisoner! captured In the Carupano upris ing.

'Road blocks' delay completion of budget vork By Phil F. Broaan Bulletin Staff Writer Bend budget committeemen meeting last night In the city hall ran into a temporary road block on a bridge that has not yet been built. It was the Portland Avenue span, object of considerable dis cussion in city commission meet ings this past year and for which a contract will be let later this season, possibly in August, with work to start after Labor Day. Voters have approved a SW.000 bond issue for the project The new span that is to replace the )'car-old narrow structure got back Into the spotlight at last night's budget committee meet ing when a state tax street fund item of (5.000 was considered. It developed that under the state plan, one of three for the bridge, work on approaches and hand rails is not included. Im mediately the span was tabbed "the leap frog bridge." Commissioner Paul Reasoner moved that the S5.000 item be stricken from the budget That triggered a discussion that lasted for the better part of an hour, with Rea.vmer presenting figures Indicating that under the Mor Bros, of Harrisburg plan for the structure, a complete span could be constructed for Ml.OoO. City Manager Walter Thompson and City Engineer John H. Eaton were asked for some figures as to the cost of constructing ap proaches, but they noted these would be difficult to do because it is not known which of three plans will be used when the project is finally advertised. Finally a vote on the Reasoner motion was called. The move to delete the $5,000 Item was defeat ed. Then Eaton added: "We will get our bridge built, 'out we may have tn dispense temporarily with some things." Tha; committee, ap peared to be In agreement that regardless of the final arrange ment approved for the new bridge. It will have approaches and that "leap froggii.g" will not be necessary. The committee also faced a few other road blocks during the eve ning and the intent to wrap up the lW city budget at last night's meeting was sidetracked. Another budget committee meet ing will be held Monday, in the city hall at 7:30 p.m. Lengthy discussions of various budget and city administrative matters brought (he charge by E. W. Williamson, member of the budget advisory group, that "a few of us are trying to muddy the water for the rest of us."
