This is a view of some of the outgoing mail Smog victims crowd hospitals in London LONDON (UPD More victims of Britain's "killer smog" crowd ed London hospitals today. Mists lifted this morning throughout most of the country, but still lay thick over the Thames Estuary, grounding all airplanes at London Airport and halting sail ings from the Port of London. Authorities warned that the worst fog since 4.000 persons died in 1952's epic killer may come down more heavily again tonight. Police said 6 persons had col lapsed arid died in the London area since the black mixture ot (moke and sulphur dioxide first blanketed the city Monday night. Normally six to eight persons die here in such fashion each day. London Hospitals' Emergency Bed Service said that in the 24 hours up to midnight Wednesday, 394 applications for beds have been received. At noon, the smog showed no further sign of lifting. Traffic Has Troubles Traffic continued to pile up. An automobile association spokesman described one stretch of the A12 Highway as "like a battlefield." "Dozens of lorries (trucks), cars and motorcycles are strewn over the road," he said. A big electricity breakdown af fecting much of London and near by districts meant thousands had to get up in the dark and go to work without hot breakfasts this morning. An Electricity Board spokesman said it was due to an overload, caused by the heavy use of electric heaters. Health authorities repeated their warnings that old people, children and persons with weak lungs should stay indoors if they were in a smog area. Air samples taken Wednesday showed air pollution 12 times normal and twice as bad as at the height of the 1952 disaster. The grey killer was a deadly amalgam of moisture, smoke, dirt and carbon fumes spewing from the nation's exhaust pipes and factory chimneys. Hospitals Are Altrttd London hospitals went on "red alert" the order to admit only emergency patients and keep all beds ready for smog victims. The air ministry said the pois onous pall over London was 500 feet thick. "It seems this weather will per sist for another 48 hours." a min istry spokesman predicted gloom ily.' Freezing temperatures added to the misery. The fog froze on streets and pavements, causing a rash of multiple-car accidents. But hiehway deaths were few be cause traffic moved so slowly.

D-Ore., today pro tested the use of Canadian lumber in minor construction jobs at the Capitol. Morse, in a letter to Sen. Mike Mansfield, D Mont., complained of finding scantlings used in tem porary walkways and barriers at an excavation beside the Senate office building. This, the Oregonian complained, was not in line with President Kennedy's July 26 directive to federal agencies to use U.S. lum ber for federal construction. He asked Mansfield, chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, to call the Capitol architect's attention to the directive intended to aid the domestic lumber industry. Pacific Northwest lumber inter ests have complained of increas ing Canadian competition. Tackles bank robbers He saw red when heist threatened wedding ELIZABETH.

All machinery, partly finished trail' ers, furniture and other goods left in the building were sold in a bankruptcy sale Tuesday and Wednesday.

Local residents were employed to staff the sale. Maximum num ber was 12. Prior to the auction, former Alpine employes were giv en work inventorying the goods. Sold in the sale were seven trailers, in various stages of com pletion, all machinery in the plant and a large quantity of furniture and carpeting.

Dischler was not nicked in the flurry of bullets that followed his bold move. But bank guard Wil liam Petuskey, 65, a former po liceman, was wounded trying to help. A bullet grazed his head. He did not carry a gun because it is against bank regu lations. The guard was reported in fair condition in a hospital. When the two bandits entered the bank, Dischler was the only man present There was one other woman customer, and three women tellers. "This is a stickup! Give us your money," on of the bandits Nehru tours border, sees India victory TEZPUR. India (UPD Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said today that India will achieve ul timate victory and emerge strong er than ever in its conflict with Red China. "Ultimately victory will be ours and we must emerge stronger than ever before," he said as he toured the northern border areas with Defense Minister Y.B. Cha- van.- He visited a group of 64 sick and wounded Indian prisoners who were returned by the Chinese Wednesday, along with the body of one soldier. The men were brought back here by Indian Red Cross repre sentatives and Nehru was on hand to talk to them and other soldiers about their experiences. Nehru also held a news confer ence at which he warned that the country should not think delivery of Soviet-built MIG jet fighter planes should make any big dif ference in India's defense poten tial. He noted that four MIGs are ex pected this month and another four to five early next year. Previous ly, it was reported that additional MIGs would be delayed until much later, and a Soviet-supplied fac tory to build MIGs in India may not be built until 1964. Near Diplomatic Break In New Delhi, meanwhile, Hie government announced it was closing its last two consulates in Red China and had ordered Pek ing to do the same in India. The move brought India another step closer to breaking diplomatic re lations with the Communist Chi nese. In a note delivered to the Chi nese Embassy in New Delhi Dec. 3, India said it would dose its consulates at Lhasa in Peking controlled Tibet and at Shanghai as of Dec. 15. It asked Red China to do likewise at Bombay and Calcutta. The closures will mean that the only diplomatic contact between the two countries will be through the embassies in New Delhi and Peking.

Ambassador Adlai E. Steven son. Stevenson recently has been the focal point of a controversy about his role in this country's decision to "quarantine" Cuba against any further Soviet military build-up. Kennedy sought to lay this con troversy to rest with a "Dear Adlai" letter in which he ex pressed fullest confidence in the diplomat and former Democratic presidential nominee. The White House said today's meeting was called by the Presi dent Wednesday night to discuss current discussions on Cuba at the United Nations in New York. Since Russia agreed to pull So viet missiles and bombers out of Cuba, U.S. and Soviet U.N. rep resentatives have been discussing this country's demand for on-site U.N. inspection to make sure the island has been demilitarized. No Public Report Tha White House meeting began this morning. The White House in dicated there would be no public report on the discussion. It was pictured as one of a series dating back to the start of the Cuba crisis. As for Stevenson, Kennedy said Wednesday that he had the fullest confidence in the ambassador and that Stevenson would continue to be of "inestimable value" at the United Nations. His remarks were made in a letter to Stevenson. Kennedy and Stevenson will ap pear together tonight for the first tune since the article appeared. Stevenson is to preside over the awards dinner of the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation, which combats mental retardation. The President wilt present the awards. Kennedy, in the letter delivered to Stevenson at the United Na tions yesterday, said "this is just a note to tell you again how deep ly I regret the unfortunate stir which has arisen over the state ments contained in the Saturday Evening Post article. Assurances Given Kennedy assured Stevenson he valued his advice very highly and "admired your performance" during the Cuban crisis. The article in question, written by Stewart Alsop and Charles Bartlett, both close friends of the President, led to speculation that Stevenson might be on the way out. But White House spokesmen and Stevenson have repeatedly called the story inaccurate. The letter Kennedy wrote Ste venson "Wednesday did not deny the article, and mentioned it only in connection with the "unfortu nate stir" it caused. In Moscow, the Soviet news ag ency Tass said today attempts were being made to intimidate Stevenson. Tass said the attempt at intim idation was aimed at those "who dare come out for a peaceful set tlement of disputed international questions." Shoots one bandit with own gun he said. "He dropped the bag and that money went all over the floor. "I disarmed him and I fired ono shot at him ... in the stom ach. With that, the other guy at the entrance opened fire on me and between the two of us, we emptied the guns. "When the guy on the floor heard the click of my gun . . . that it was empty ... he got up and started to run away. I threw the gun at him. I ran after him as the other fellow ran out the door." Dischler said he would have m Home found at Prineville for lost dog A dog that waited for weeks for its master beside the road in an isolated part of the high desert some 50 miles east of Bend has found a home. Oregon State Police reported here today that Kenneth Crad- dock, Prineville, a trainer of hounds, located the animal, hun gry and weak, and took it to Prineville. He identified the dog as a redbone hound, and appar ently a valuable animal, Owner of the dog is unknown. Tom Huntington, Bend, first no ticed the dog, waiting beside the Central Oregon Highway, but was unable to get near it. Huntington provided food for the dog for sev eral days. Oregon State Police and Hu mane Society members later at tempted to locate the dog, but were unsuccessful. Craddock drove out from Prineville and found the dog where it was seen by Huntington. The dog was in the area for some two weeks. Craddock was alerted to the plight of the lost dog when he read a story about the animal in The Bulletin. Air. Force may have lost right to try airman BOISE, Idaho (UPD Defense attorneys sought legal justification today for a federal judge's belief tiie Air Force has waived the right to try Al-C Gerald M. An derson on murder charges. U.S. District Judge Chase A. Clark late Wednesday took under advisement habeas corpus pro ceedings designed to free Ander son from threat of a military court martial. Anderson, 24, San Diego, is ac cused by Uie Air Force of pre meditated murder in the knife layings at nearby Mountain Home last April of Mrs. Nancy Joy Johnson, 22, and her son, Danny, 2. Questioned by agents of the Air Force Office of Special Investiga tion from April 11-17, Anderson finally "confessed" killing Mrs. Johnson a confession he later re pudiated on grounds he was co erced into making it. The Air Force turned him over to Idaho civil authorities April 18 for prose cution but last month another man, Theodore Thomas Dickie, 21, confessed the slayings and the state court freed Anderson. It was then, Nov. 27, that the Air Force charged Anderson with murdering both mother and child. Judge Clark said that "it is my opinion that in doing so (turning Anderson over to civil authorities) they (the Air Force) waived their jurisdiction." However, he gave defense counsel 10 days to submit written briefs to back up his opin ion and the Air Force another 10 days in which to answer. "I will say frankly in the his tory of law books I have been unable to find a case in point, Judge Clark said. chased them further, but one of them turned and pulled out a knife. "I backed away," he said. Minutes after the bandits had Jumped into a car where a third man was waiting, police and FBI agents arrived. They started to take Dischler to headquarters to look at "mug shots" of possible suspects. "Wait a minute," Dischler shouted. He dashed back into the bank. "I want my deposit slip." With a shaking hand, one of (he tellers made it out. mow- pulld Some fighter planes still on WASHINGTON (UPD Tha Defense Department announced today that 27 IL28 bombers now have been pulled out of Cuba by tlie Russians. It said in a statement that tha Soviet ship Kasimov was under way today from the port of Ma- riel, west of Havana, with 15 of, the subsonic jet bombers on board. The Soviet ship Okhotsk, which was spotted Dec. 1 with three 1L28 fuselages aboard, now has made another stop and picked up an additional nine planes, tha statement said. The Defense Department said there were "more than 30" of tha bombers on the island at the time of the Cuban crisis. (Other U.S. sources said, how. ever, that Russia has informed the United States in New York that it had put 42 of the jet bomb ers in Cuba and that they would be removed. These sources also had talked previously in terms of "more than 30" bombers.) U.S. officials said there still were "several thousand" Russian in Cuba, and that the Cubans still had "some MIG15 and MIG21 ' fighter planes capable of carrying: nuclear weapons." Not Like Military Unit But these officials said there was no evidence the Russians were operating as an organized, sparate military unit, or that there are nuclear weapons In Cu ba. They said the Russians were wearing T-shirts or sports shirts and were with Cuban antialrcraf . and ground defense units. The . question of whether Rus sian personnel is being withdrawn from Cuba was left open. The De fense Department has said only that approximately 400 Russians were aboard the two ships which removed Soviet missiles from Cuba. , . President Kennedy had demand ed removal of the jet bombers along with ballistic missiles in-, stalled in Cuba by the Russians. Information that the bombers were being shipped out was gath ered by U.S. Navy patrol planes operating out of Key West, Fla. The Pentagon statement, issued by Deputy Assistant Defense Sec retary Nils Lennartson, said the crew of the Kasimov voluntarily opened crates on Its deck to re veal the IL28 fuselages to U.S. Inspectors flying overhead in planes. The statement also said that aerial photographs disclosed there were no more IL28 fuselages or crates on the Western Cuban San Julian Airfield or the Holguin Air field on the north coast. : Other administration sources said previously that the Russians apparently were removing the H2J bombers without delay. One U.S. official said It was remotely possible the Russians might announce Friday that all of the jet bombers had been placed aboard ships for removal from Cuba. The Soviets have indicated that they will demand at this point that President Kennedy give the formal pledge against any in vasion. U.S. officials insist, however. that Soviet Premier Nikita Khru shchev has not met all of the pledges contained in his October 26-28 exchange of letters with Kennedy, particularly Khrush chev's promise to permit U.N. verification of the removal of ag gressive weapons. Chance of light rain by Friday Weather reminiscent of mild April days was general in Cen tral Oregon this morning, follow ing a comparatively mild night. Mild weather is to continue, the area forecast indicates, but there is a chance of some light rain by Friday. Temperatures today are expected to range above the 50 degree mark. Lows tonight will be in the 35-40 bracket, the fore cast adds.
