The fire started on the main Door at the base of the flue fend quickly spread to the walls end floor. Firemen, who said Hrey arrived just in time to pre vent total destruction of the home, had to chop into the wall and Boor area around the flue.

The action was taken after di rectors rejected an earlier motion by Milton - Freewater calling for subdistrict schedules in both foot ball and basketball. Full Round-Robin Following this vote, discussion centered around the full round robin football schedule and a com promise plan. The latter called for an eight-game league sched ule, with each team dropping one long trip a year. Finally directors voted 7-3 on the motion for the full round-rob in football schedule, giving each of the 10 IC teams a full nine- game league schedule and elimi nating any outside competition. The nine league games would also prevent any chance of a play off game, should a tie occur. In the event of a tie, the team that defeats the other in league play will be awarded the IC berth in state playoff competition. This past season the 10 IC prep football teams were divided into subdistricts of five teams each providing only four league games for each school over the regular season. All Counters But next year every game will count in the football race. Bend, for example, will open at home against Pendleton, then play away games at Mac Hi and La Grande. A home game with Hermiston will follow. The Lava Bears will then play at Madras, host Baker, play at The Dalles and wind up at home against Prineville and Redmond. In other action at Arlington Sat urday, directors voted as follows: 1. Eliminated district all-star teams. 2. Accepted full round - robin basketball schedules for this sea son and for the 1963-64 season. Each team will play 18 league contests. 3. Set February 22 and 23 as dates for the district WTCstling meet in The Dalles. (A basketball conflict kept Bend from hosting this season's meet.) Date Approved 4. Okayed May 18 as date for district track meet at The Dalles oval. 'The state B track meet on that date prevented Bend from hosting district meet.) 5. Established May 17-18 as dates for district baseball play offs at site of eastern subdistrict winner. 6. Set district golf tournament for May 11 at Prineville. Attending the meeting from Bend High were athletic director Dick Geser. Principal Don Empcy and coaches Bill Bauer, Chuck Hudson and Hoot Moore.

Stevenson rips story he backed missile-site swap WASHINGTON (UPI) Tile White House reacted angrily to day to a published report that Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson had favored trading U.S. missile bases in Turkey, Italy and Bri tain for Soviet missile sites in Cu ba during the Cuban crisis. White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said he could "state flatly" that Stevenson "strongly supported the decision taken by the President on the quarantine. , ." The charge was made in an article in the Saturday Evening Post written by Stewart Alsop, its Washington editor, and Charles Barlett, correspondent, columnist and intimate friend of President Kennedy. i A spokesman for Stevenson in New York Sunday night denied the report as "inaccurate and untrue." The article led today to a dis cussion in Salinger's office not only about the position and status of Stevenson, but of Kennedy's relations with a close personal friend who also writes for news papers and magazines. Stevenson was at the White House during the morning for a meeting of the National Security Council Executive Committee. Re porters saw him as he left the President's office and asked him if he had discussed the Saturday Evening Post article with Ken nedy. "The President brought it up and told me about the statement he is going to issue," the U.S. Envoy to the United Nations said. "I had not read the article carefully, but I've read it enough to find five inaccuracies in rapid succession." The statement to which Steven son referred came not from Ken nedy, but from Salinger. The press secretary said: "Proceedings of the National Security Council have been secret since its founding in 1947 and wul continue to be."

Rams, who also had two first round draft picks last year, had rookies Roman Gabriel of North Carolina Slate and Ron Miller of Wisconsin this season and acquis ition of Baker made it likely the team would try to trade one of the trio before next season.

T-H Law invoked by President WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Kennedy today invoked the i the Taft-Hartley Law in the labor dispute involving the Lockheed Aircraft Corp. and the Interna tional Association of Machinists.

Workers at Lockheed aircraft and missile plants have returned to work. But the President acted after a special board of inquiry found that the union security is sue had not been settled and thus the return to work was of a "pre carious nature." "Until Lockheed. . .and the. . . machinists are able to agree on new contracts covering the bar gaining units involved, there can be no assurance of continued op erations," the inquiry board re ported to the President. Thereto, "in order 10 remove a peril to the national safety and to secure a resumption of trade, commerce and transporation," Kennedy instructed the attorney general to proceed under Section 208 of the Taft-Hartley Law and enjoin continuance of the strike.
