London. July 5 VP) Russia
itemized her bill for quitting
Austria at four-power talks to
day on an Austrian indepen
dence pact.
Georgi N. Zarubin handed in
a nine-paragraph draft of the
treaty's article five, which deals
with German assets in Austria.
He added five annexes listing all
the pros and cons of Russia's
claims.
Those annexes disclosed for
the first time the exact areas,
properties, plants and assets
Russia wants as part settlement
i,J her general war reparations
claims on Germany. The items
she is claiming in Austria used
to be owned by the Germans,
r Allied Concessions
- The Russian proposal was
based on the agreement on Aus
tria reached by the Big Four
foreign ministers in Paris last
month. . .
The Paris agreement conced
ed Russia extensive oil rights
in east Austria. It allowed Rus
sia properties of the Danube
Shipping company in Bulgaria,
Hungary, Romania as well as in
east Austria. It also bound the
Soviets to turn over all other
former German-held properties
to the Vienna government in re
turn for a lump sum payment of
$130,000,000 by Austria over
the next six years.
The five annexes show
1. Seven areas in east Austria
where Russia would be entitled
to extract oil.
Ask 26 Oil Areas
2. Twenty-six areas where
Russia would be entitled to ex
plore for oil, totalling in area
about 3000 square miles.
3. Five operating oil refining
plants which Russia would re
ceive. 4. Forty-six plants, properties
and other items which were
owned by the. Danube Shipping
company, which Russia wants;
37 of the company's river ves
sels; one of its shipyards; and
' four areas In the port of Vienna
which the Soviets would take
over.
- 5. More than 300 properties
) which Russia would hand back
to Austria in return for the lump
sum settlement.
Pad Signed for
Snake Bridges
Oregon and Idaho have signed
an agreement to improve bridge
crossings over the Snake river,
'State Highway Engineer R. H.
Baldock said today.
The agreement calls for imme
diate construction of new bridges
at Weiser and Payette. And it
also provides for widening or re
placement of the bridges at On
tario and Nyssa, with Oregon to
decide when this work shall be
gin. All costs would be split equal
ly between the two states.
With respect to the new Wei
ser bridge, Idaho will make foun
dation tests, and Oregon will
prepare designs and specifica
tions. For the Payette bridge, Ore
gon will make the foundition
tests and prepare the designs.
The contracts will be award
ed jointly.
Baldock said federal aid funds
will be used on all the four
. bridges.
The new construction on the
Ontario and Nyssa bridges might
be some time away, as the high
way commission has taken no ac
tion on setting a date.
Baldock said the Payette and
Weiser bridges are most critical,
since they are inadequate for
present-day truck loads. The
Payette bridge has a limit of
only 6 or 7 tons, he said.
$85 Million More
Asked for Britain
London, July 5 VP) The labor
government made a surprise re
quest to parliament today for
21,338,894 ($85,355,576) more
spending money.
The supplementary budget es
timates came three months aft
er the chancellor of the ex
chequer, Sir Stafford Cripps, in
a "hard labor' budget speech
called for a whopping .3,826,-
000,000 ($15,304,000,000) to run
the country until next March
31.
. Today's added requests sur
prised members of the house of
commons who recalled that
Cripps' budget speech had
warned that only in "special
cases, such as major changes of
'policy," would supplementary
estimates be submitted.
Most of the new estimates
were earmarked for use in Brit
ish colonies.
U N Calls for
Action to Raise
Economic Level
Lake Success, July S VP) The
United Nations has called for na
tional and international action
"to raise the world level of eco
nomic activity," which it said
was levelling off after the post
war industrial boom.
In its annual economic survey,
the UN noted that in 1948 "for
the first time since the end of
the war, there was a reversal in
the upward trend of prices, a
check to the expansion of pro
duction and some increase in
unemployment in a number of
countries." It said positive ac
tion was necessary "to counter
possible recession."
Economic Report Filed
The 117-page world economic
report for 1948 was' compiled
by the UN secretariat primarily
for the use of delegates to the
UN economic and social coun
cil which opens its ninth ses
sion in Geneva, Switzerland, to
day. Continued on Page S, Column 7)
Czech Bishops
Branded Nazis
Prague, July 5 UP) Czecho
slovakia's Roman Catholic
bishops were accused today by
a government official of having
collaborated with the nazis dur
ing the occupation!
This is one of the charges the
government apparently intends
to press against the church hier
archy to break their resistance
to communist control. The com
munist regime claims that the
church leaders are "unpatriotic
and waging anti-state activities"
because they refuse to negotiate
new state-church accord on
government terms.
The charge of collaboration
with the nazis was made despite
the fact that the whole nation
knows that Archbishop Josef
Beran of Prague, the nation's
primate and leader in Dachau
concentration camp.
The collaboration charge
against the Catholic leaders was
made by Prof. Laco Novomesky
commissioner of education for
Slovakia.
He spoke at ceremonies com
memorating founding of the an
cient monastery at Devin, New
Bratislava. The ceremonies were
part of a long week-end of high
regilious holidays.
Congress Meets in
Temporary Quarters
Washington, July 5 VP) Con
gress met for the first time today
in its temporary summer quar
ters.
The house convened in the not-
so-spacious ways and means
committee room in the new
house office building. The sen
ate met in the old supreme court
chamber in the senate wing of
the Capitol.
They moved out of their reg
ular chambers so that workmen
could remodel them.
It was apparent right off the
bat that the new quarters would
cramp the style of the lawmak
ers.
For one thing, the public is
barred. There is no room for
visitors to look on in admira
tion while senators and repre
sentatives fling the forensics around.
Record Holiday Death Toll;
678 Are Killed
lay me Aasociatea rrew
A record accidental death toll for the Fourth of July marked
the nation's observance of this year's extended Independence day
holiday.
Latest figures showed 678 killed in violent accidents.
The grim report on the country's celebration of the three-day
holiday was: traffic fatalities,
son- rtroumin. 24S- vlnlpnt sent millions to lakes and rivers
deaths from miscellaneous!
causes, 134. The country-wide
survey covered violent deaths
from 6 p.m. local time Friday
to midnight Monday.
The 1949 toll was the highest
ever recorded for any Fourth of
July. The previous record of ac
cidental deaths on the Independ
ence day holiday was 628 in the
three-day period in 1941. This
year's mark compared with 571
deaths reported over a three
day period in 1948.
Sweltering weather across the
nation brought an outpouring
of millions onto the highways
headed for vacation lands and
resorts. The traffic toll, as gen
erally expected, was the leader,
with 289 fatalities on the high
ways. The national safety coun
cil had estimated 290 persons
would lose their lives in traffic
mishaps over the holiday.

Manhunt for
Rapist-Slayer
In California
Sonoma, Calif., July 5 VP)
Peace officers patrolled north
ern California highways today
in their search for a man known
as Hank tq question him in a
double slaying and rape in Jack
London's scenic Valley of the
Moon.
A woman clad only in a T
shirt and bleeding from a beat
ing fled hysterically down a
mountain road yesterday to tell
a picnic party of the crimes. Of
ficers who investigated found
two men dead in the mountain
home from which she had fled
The two dead men evidently
had been clubbed with a four
poung stone pestle once used by
Indians to grind grain. It was
found, bloody and hair-covered,
outside the house.
Victims Identified
Chief Criminal Investigator
Andy Johansen of the sheriff's
office identified the victims as
Peter J. Jensen, 55, owner of
the house and chief landscape
gardener of the Sonoma state
home; and Peter J. Flint, 31,
newly - commissioned merchant
marine lieutenant of Richmond,
Calif.
Flint, member of a Sonoma
valley family which dated from
the days of 1849, was reported
a long-time friend of Jensen.
Officers issued an all-points
bulletin for a mystery man iden
tified to them only as "Hank."
He last was seen driving Flint's
1941 Buick convertible.
Mother of Two Raped
In a serious, but apparently
not critical condition in a hos
pital here was Mrs. Eva Paget
of Berkeley, Calif., 27-year-old
mother of two children. It was
her story of being beaten and
raped which led officers to the
slayings.

Truman Lists
Major Musts
Washington, July 5 (U.R) The
democratic high command made
up its mind today to fight for
action on social security, mini
mum wage and farm legislation
before congress quits for 1949.
That decision was reached at
a White House conference be
tween President Truman and his
"Big Four" congressional lead
ers. They reviewed the whole
legislative situation and their
chances of making good on at
least part of their party's cam
paign promises before the end
of this session.
They left open the question of
whether to give labor legislation
another whirl in the house. But
it looks like efforts to repeal
the Taft-Hartley law will go
over another year or two.
Speaker Sam' Rayburn told
reporters he and House Major
ity Leader John W. McCormack
of Massachusetts informed the
president that they expected the
house to act on the social secur
ity, minimum wage and farm
bills before it adjourns next
month.
Legislation to increase the
minimum wage standard from
40 to 75 cents an hour is also
out of committee in the senate
and awaiting floor action there.
Senate Majority Leader Scott
W. Lucas of Illinois, who also
sat in on the White House par
ley, has pledged senate action on
at least a "trial run" for the ad
ministration's farm plan.
Violently
the three-day period was a rec
ord-breaking 240.
The previous high was 192 last
year.
Michigan's hundreds of lakes
lured thousands and 25 persons
drowned in the state. Twenty
one drowned in New York, in
eluding at least four in New
York City when a sudden storm
swamped hundreds of small
boats off-shore.
The survey showed no fatali
ties from fireworks.
The death toll was the heavi
est in- Texas 47 killed in vi
olent accidents. Thirty-two were
killed in traffic mishaps; eight
drowned and seven lost their
lives in other accidents of a
violent nature. New York's 45
fatalities ranked second and
Michigan's toll was 42.
No violent deaths were report
ed in Kansas. Nevada or the
District of Columbia.

Firecrackers started scores of
fires in Oregon yesterday, and
several burned on today.
At least one home was de
stroyed. Several hundred acres
of range land in eastern Oregon
were blackened.. . Scores of
smaller fires in western Oregon
did lesser damage..- ' i - -
The home destroyed was on
route 2, Tigard. Children of
one of the two families living
there shot firecrackers on the
porch and were blamed for the
blaze.
S. R. Bennett, range manager
of the bureau of land manage
ment at Baker, said a fire crew
fought one blaze near Pondosa
24 hours before getting it under
control. A hundred acres of
range were burned. Another 100
acres burned near Telocaset, and
80 acres in Pyle Canyon, near
La Grande.
Eugene called in all its volun
teers and off-duty firemen to
cope with a dozen grass fires on
the city s outskirts last night.
None was serious.
Roseburg's Mt. Nebo cast a
smokey pall over the city yes

Buried Alive for
Record 45 Days
Zanesville, O., July 5 VP)
Raymond "Demp" Emmert of
Zanesville walked around among
the living today proud of be
ing called "t h e buried alive

The 40-year-old unemployed
World War II veteran emerged
from a deluxe "grave" yester
day. He had been underground
just 40 minutes short of 45
days.
"I feel fine," he said. Then he
sat down until he could get
some strength in his legs.
The Zanesville man announc
ed he was ready to defend his
title anytime someone wanted
to set a new mark. The old one,
set in 1938, belonging to another
Zanesville resident, L. G. Mc
Intyre, who did his horizontal
hibernation in Chicago.
Emmert was buried six feet
under in a wooden casket, with
a shaft leading from his face to
the surface. Down the shaft
came his food and wine, and
thousands visited his burial place
for a peek down the shaft.

Miners on Jobs
Minus Contract
Pittsburgh, July 5 VP) Al
most all of the nation's 480,000

a contract at the end of their
annual paid vacation
The work resumption started

sippi. The short work-week or
der scrapped the United Mine
Workers' long-standing "no con
tract, no work" policy.
The new plan will remain in
effect while negotiations be
tween the union and the opera
tors continue on a new contract
to replace the pact that expired
last Thursday.
At least 7,000 of the 55,000
western Pennsylvania soft coal
diggers were forced to remain
idle. Several producers were un
able to resume production this
week because anticipating a
mine shutdown under the old
UMW policy they had given
superintendents and other super-
v l s o r y personnel vacations.
Some of those mines' key per
sonnel was scattered from Cali

strangulation slaying of 16-year-
old Dana Marie Weaver.
It is then that Chief Defense
Counsel T. Warren Messick will
tell Judge Kirk A. Kuyk why

If he is, his counsel has said
the case may be taken to the

Chiang Asks U.S
Aid Against Reds
New York, July 5 (U.B Gen
eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek said
today that he will lead national
ist China's struggle against the

avert another world war.
Chiang broke his long silence
in an interview with Clyde
Farnsworth, Scripps - Howard
staff writer, and another Amer
ican reporter at Tailpeh, For

The 62-year-old Chiang took

l. Although he may never
resume political office, he can
not give up the "revolutionary
leadership" of China he inherit

2. If communism is not check
ed in China, it will spread over
the whole of Asia. Should that
occur, another world war would
be inevitable."

Declares It "Flaming
Sign" to Reds As
Debate Opens
Washington, July 5 U.R) Sen.
Tom Connally, (D., Tex.), asked
the senate today to ratify the
North Atlantic defense pact as a
"flaming sign" to world com
munism that it can advance only
at the risk of war.
Opening debate on the 12-na-
tion treaty, the foreign rela
tions committe chairman told his
colleagues they face a "momen
tous decision" made necessary
by Russia's "divide and conquer"
tactics and the "hostile threat"
of communism.
"The North Atlantic treaty,"
said Connally, "is a flaming sign
to any aggressor, to any nations
that contemplates armed attack
upon a peaceful and law-abiding
nation 'do not enter' the North
Atlantic area."
Not Siamese Twins"
Anticipating a question cer
tain to be raised during the de
bate. Connally asserted that the
pact and the proposed $1,450,-
000,000 arms program are "not
Siamese twins." A vote for the
pact, he said, would not bind a
senator to support the arms plan
as well. However, he expressed
the earnest hope that both would
be approved at this session of
congress.
The mutual defense pact, sign
ed here April 4, pledges the sig
natory powers to regard an arm
ed attack on one as an attack on
all. Each nation promises to
take such action, including use
of force, as it deems necessary
to protect the North Atlantic
security zone.
Docs Not Involve War
The treaty must be ratified by
two-thirds vote in the senate
before it is binding on the Unit
ed States. Administration lead
ers were confident that fewer
than 10 votes would be cast in
opposition to the pact, but they
were not sure that the compan
ion arms program would get
through congress this year.
Connally gave a "categoric
no" to suggestions that the treaty
involves an automatic war com
mitment for this nation. Each
nation would determine for it
self its actions in event of an
armed attack, he said.
But he added a solemn word
of caution.
"Let us not avoid cold realty
by searching for escape clauses,"
he said.
In the event that war should
come, Connally said, the pact
would join together almost 300,
000,000 people of the western
world, along with their armies
and their industrial output.
Fire Raging in
Mine at Baker
Baker, July 5 VP) Installa
tions worth at least $150,000 and
covering some 400 acres are in
danger of compete destruction at
the Virtue mine near here today
as grazing service and Baker
city firemen wage a losing battle
against a fire in the mine shaft
believed to have been caused by
combustion of electrical equip
ment. The fire, noticed early Sunday
at the mine, probably had been
burning for a number of hours,
says Otto Karg, Baker fire chief.
Fire fighting is almost impossi
ble since there is danger of the
mine shaft caving in. The mine
operators are following a policy
of letting the fire in the shaft
burn itself out and Billie Wendt,
president of the Virtue Mine
company, said this morning that
the blaze will not get any worse.
The Virtue mine, located 11
miles east of Baker, has been one
of the most prolific producers in
this state. In its heyday it is be
lieved that the mine produced a
hundred and fifty million dollars y
worth of ore. Production since
the 1860's has been steady' but
not spectacular. Recently the
mine company has employed
only six full time workers but
was intending to increase t h 1 a
