CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 60th Year Twenty Pages Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Thursday, May 9, 1963 Ten Cents No. 131 Hth hoiiir Mmim mroadle to save Alabama mm Bill creating new land policy voted SALEM (UPI) Eastern Ore gon ranchers would be able to borrow the money for a $6 million management job on state - owned grazing lands under a bill that passed the House today. The measure went to the Sen ate. Rep. Robert Smith, R-Burns, said it would apply to some 700, 000 acres of state-owned grazing lands in Eastern Oregon that are leased out. He said the bill contains a "new land management policy" for Ore gon. Three Steps The measure contains three steps in land management. First, the land board would be authorized to classify its lands in use: Grazing, farming, recreation. It would designate which tracts should be sold or traded, and which need reseeding. The second phase calls for blocking of state lands to provide for better management. The heart of the program is contained in the third step: Auth orization for ranchers who lease the lands to borrow money from the State Land Board for their improvement Smith said the land board has about $11 million invested in bonds and available for properly secured loans. He said loans would bring higher earnings into the common school fund. Other Itamt The House passed a bill to pro hibit "unfair practices" against groups of farmers that organize to discuss prices for their crops. A resolution was introduced in the Senate by the Senate Com mittee on Education to create an . interim commutes on education composed of nine members. It would operate on a $30,000 budget and report back to the 1965 legislature. Colored TV shofs beamed fo Europe NEW YORK (UPI) Colored television pictures of ballet per formers electronically danced 9.000 miles into space Wednesday night and were successfully re layed to Europe by way of Tel- star II. The French tracking station, which 24 hours earlier had report ed the first picture transmissions by the newest U.S. communica tions satellite "weak and shaky," said Wednesday night's reception was "excellent." Black and white video tape transmissions also were described as "extremely good" by the French station located at Pleu muer Bodou. The British tracking station at Goonhilly Downs, which did not tune in the color trans mission, reported the black and white pictures were "very good." Telstar II was fired into orbit Tuesday morning by the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis tration in cooperation with the American Telephone k Telegraph Co., which built Telstar I and II. Tuesday night's transmissions had been reported weak and shaky because the satellite's orbit, which reached 6,500 miles at apogee, was not presently the best for television relay. A boost of power at the ground station at Andover, Maine, how ever, resulted in a satisfactory signal Wednesday night. Car, truck hit; no one hurt A northbound truck and trailer operated by Clarence O. Rasler of Dodge City, Kan., and a car dri ven by Edward L. Kirby, Idaho Falls, Ida., also northbound, were involved in an accident at the in tersection of the Bend U.S. 97 bus iness route with arterial U.S. 97 at the north city limits of Bend Wednesday evening. No one was injured. The Idaho car was emerging from the business route when the accident occurred. TWO DRAW FINES Two persons paid $25 and court costs Wednesday in municipal court on drunk charges.

Senators hidden away in Cuban caves WASHINGTON (UPD-A Senate subcommittee expressed "grave concern" today that Russian mis siles may be hidden away in the myriads of caves in Cuba. The group also said in a report on an investigation of Soviet mili tary activities on the island that 17,500 was "perhaps a minimum figure" for the number of Rus sians still there. President Kennedy has estimat ed the number at about 13.000. The preparedness subcommittee includwl in its censored 34-page report a strong attack on the Cen tral Intelligence Agency for "faul- 1 ty" evaluation" of information re U.S. flies out another load of nationals PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (UPI) The United States flew out an additional 158 American nationals from Haiti today bringing its two day air evacuation total to 353 persons. Among those leaving today were 32 Protestant missionaries. Today's two flights, which left Port-au-Prince for Miami, Fla., brought to a successful conclusion the U.S.-ordered evacuation of de pendents of government personnel. U.S. Embassy authorities said another commercial charter flight might be used Friday for further evacuations if demand war rants." There appeared little en thusiasm on the part of the esti mated 1,200 American civilians in Haiti to take Washington's advice to leave the country. The departing missionaries rep resented about one-sixth the Protestant missionary total in Hai ti. Envoy's Wife Staying Embassy sources said, mean while, Mrs. Raymond Thurston, wife of the ambassador, would re main here by her husband's side. The embassy said Thurston had no intention of leaving. The Haiti press and radio mean while broadcast an official state ment denouncing Dominican Presi dent Juan B o s c h as "an Instru ment of the U.S. government" in his quarrel with Haiti, and de nouncing what it termed an "in ternational conspiracy" against Haiti. President Francois Duvalier was to have made a speech Wed' nesday in PetionviUe, but he did not appear. His last public ap pearance was at a May 1 official function. A U.S. naval task force su pervised" today's evacuations from a point offshore, outside Haitian territorial limits but with in eyesight of the capital. A total 195 Americans, including some non government residents, were evacuated Wednesday. Urged to Leave The U.S. State Department or dered government dependents to leave and urged other Americans to do so as well due to the "de teriorating situation" under Pres ident Francois Duvalier and the tension between Haiti and neigh boring Dominican Republic. Reports from London ana ine Hague said Britain and The Neth erlands also had advised their citizens to leave. The United States notified Haiti Wednesday it was moving Ameri can warships within sight of Port-au-Prince, but outside the six mile territorial waters. The precautions were taken be cause of reports of repression by Duvalier of his political opposi tion and Dominican threats to in vade Haiti because of alleged Haitian violations of the Domini can Embassy here.

For one thing, the subcommittee said, the CIA seemed to take too optimistic a view of the situation. The report said intelligence offi cials apparently refused to accept reports that Russian missiles had been sent to Cuba until reconnais sance planes took pictures of them in mid-October. Although Intelligence officials now say they are convinced the offensive weapons have been taken out, the report added, there is no "absolute assurance" of this. The subcommittee said that only through a "thorough, penetrating Students offer 3-act mystery here Saturday The drama class of Bend High School will present a three act mystery comedy Saturday, May 11, at 8:15 p.m. in the school aud itorium. The play, titled "Who Dunit?", is a whimsical fantasy well-laced with laughs. The plot centers around a mys tery writer, Alexander Arlington, played by Ken Bowden, who ar rives in heaven, only to discover that he was murdered. . Arlington makes matters sufficiently "hot" for St. Michael (Dennis Newell) that he is permitted to return to earth for only a day, to discover who dunit. Connie Underwood and Ji.ianita Richards are cast as interested angels. Earthlings who figure in the tangle are Kathy Moody, Phil Smith, Sharon Loomis, Dave Horning, Lynnette Lantz. Dennis Newell and Earlene Cran. The play is under the direction of Mrs. W. W. Bauer of the facul ty, with Charlotte Wright as stu dent director. Kathy Blewett, Fawn Williams, Collette Muncie and Diane Haas are working on publicity. Admission prices are 75 cents for adults and 35 cents for stu dents.

Bend Junior High rally squad, Alford, Jolie Waller, Marianne Jolie, who polled most votes in Welcome 'shot' County offers city street project aid By Gerald Drapeau Bulletin Staff Writer Bend's long-suffering street Im provements program received a welcome shot in the . arm last night when Deschutes County Court officials offered their as sistance in future street projects on a year-to-year basis. The offer means the Court will clear, grade and provide a rock base for streets slated to undergo paving, amounting to a consider able share of total costs. To af- Hunt continues for Billy Evans ENTERPRISE, Ore. (UPI) A dozen state police officers contin ued a systematic check of about 15 cabins in remote woods ot northeastern Oregon today In their search for Billy Evans, 44, Flora, wanted for two slayings at Clark ston, Wash. But officers admitted they had turned up no trace of the husky stump rancher since he waved a gun at them and disappeared into the hills Tuesday. The officers, armed with high powered rifles were using a pick up truck to tour the back roads to check each empty cabin for signs that Evans," a woods wise native of the area, had broken into one for food or rest. Other officers were stopping each cattle truck as it passed through the area to search it for the wanted man. Evans Is charged In an Asotin County, Wash., warrant with mur der for the fatal shooting late Monday night of Mrs. May Griner, 40, and William Gerry, 40.

Not pictured is grade 9, is queen. fee ted Bend property owners, the proposal means a substantial cut in street improvement assess ments. City Commissioner Leon Dever eaux, who with other commission ers heard the proposal put forth by Judge D. L. Penhollow, called it, "The biggest step forward in the paving program that Bend has ever seen." Bend paving pro grams have been at a standstill since an unfavorable Circuit Court decision last year supported Third Street property owners who ob jected to paying total costs of a paving and widening project on their street. The Court decision was later re-affirmed in State Supreme Court. Lower Payments Last week city commissioners decided to go ahead with paving of a handful of streets, but were apprehensive about the reactions of affected property owners, con ccrning assessments. Tne courts offer will mean substantially low er oavments. First new street to be cleared and oaved is a three-block por tion of W. 11th Street between Newport and Quincy. It will cost an estimated $13,664.94, and prop erty owners were earlier notified of their anticipated assessments. This morning City Manager Hal Puddy said these particular as sessments probably will be reauo ed by some 40 per cent. Puddy emphasized that the new City County streets policy is in no way clearly defined. The City will have to evaluate the offer carefully, he said, before it able to adopt a workable policy on all streets. According to Judge Penhollow, similar assistance programs are already in effect in Redmond and Sisters. Court officials meeting with the judge and commissioners last nicht were Fred Shepard and Georqe Baker, and County Road- master Charles Plummer. horny issue of prisoners under study BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPI) Negro and white leaders confer red with the Justice Department in Washington by phone today in an 11th hour attempt to keep a shaky truce and avert new out breaks of racial demonstrations. It was learned that the thorni est problem a blracial committee as considering was dropping of convictions and charges against more than 2,200 Negro demon strators arrested since the mas sive desegregation campaign open ed here April 3. The negotiators were being ad vised on legalities at the highest level in the Justice Department. While the negotiators would not discuss their talks, it was under stood Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy was taking a personal hand in Uie negotiations. Make Four Demands The dropping of the charges- most for parading without a per mit was one of four demands made by Negro leaders as the price for ending the demonstra tions. Hundreds of policemen, rein forced by state troopers, stood by in case of a renewed outbreak. Several hundred Negroes gathered at a Baptist church to await word. Other demands listed by the Ne groes included the desegregation of downtown eating facilities, equal employment opportunities and a permanent bi-racial com mittee to work out the city's de segregation problems, with spe cial emphasis on schools. A 250-man force ot highway patrolmen, augmented by approx imately 400 plainclothesmen car rying sidearms, apparently waa in control and able to enforce law and order. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, two top Negro leaders in the desegre gation campaign here, said they were hopeful a solution to five weeks of demonstrations could be found by 1 p.m. EDT. A bi-racial committee met again Wednesday night but made no announcement of results. Negro Leadership Divided The big problem in a settle ment appeared to be among the Negro leadership, sharply divided as to whether full scale demon strations should be resumed to day. The racial truce, after which all major demonstrations were called off Wednesday while last minute details of a permanent agreement were discussed, al most fell apart In the late after noon when King was lodged In jail for the second time in less than a month. The Atlanta integration leader and the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, another top officer in King's or ganization, were sentenced to 180 days in jail and fined $100 the maximum punishment tor viola tion of an ordinance requiring a permit to parade. ' Businessman Raises Bene Bond for King, Abernathy and R. V. Fulton, a white professor, was set at $2,500. For most of their 24 associates who got the same penalty bond was only $500. Negro businessman A. G. Gas ton put up bond for King and Abernathy who returned to their motel and went Immediately into long telephone conferences with associates on their next move. Birmingham's top business ex- exutives were exerting strong behind-the-scenes influence in bringing the racial dilemma to ward an area ot settlement, iney were reluctant, however, to deal with local Negro leaders and virtually adamant In refusing to negotiate with the threat ot negro retaliation hanging over them. Delay planned on relocation SALEM (UPD The gover nor's office said today a contro versial highway relocation project in the historic mining town of Jacksonville would be delayed pending further study. Warne Nunn, Gov. Mark Hat field's executive assistant, said many protests to tho relocation, which would have located the highway on a diagonal through the town's street grid, had been received. He said the Highway Depart ment has agreed to hold up con struction, pending further study ol the historic values of the town, and possible alternative routes. The relocation has caused wide spread controversy in Jackson County. "A
