Gas Bill Lobbyist Testifies Attempt to Sound Out Adams Reported WASHINGTON ufi - The chair man of an organization that lob bied against the natural gas bill testified Thursday he attempted to sound out the administration's stand on the measure in a talk with Sherman Adams, President Eisenhower's top aide. J. E. Heyke, president of the Brooklyn (N.Y.) Union Gas Co., said he went to see Adams when word got around during Senate uoDate on the controversial bill that the Eisenhower administra tion was supporting it. Heyke told the special Senate lobby investigating committee that he told Adams if rumors of ad ministration support for the meas ure were not true, steps should be taken to refute them. Asked the results of his confer ence with Adams, Heyke replied, "I wouldn't say there were any results.' The bill, to free natural gas i producers from direct federal reg- (Continur-' on Page 5. Column 7i Cannery Strike In Portland Area Averted Union Vole on Offer . Of General Foods Due Next Week PORTLAND ii A strike threatened for Thursday at 12 canneries in this area was averted as union leaders and officials of General Foods readied a tentative agreement. Cliff Evanson, Cannery Workers secretary, called off the sched uled strike until the union gets a chance to vote on the offer. He said the voting would take place Monday or tuesday. Evanson said the General Foods agreement, if ratified, will be come, the pattern for other can neries here. He said the agreement calls for a basic 5-cent hourly wage crease for women and 6 rents for men with a 10-cent boost in classi tied jobs this year. Next year there will be increases of 5, 6 and ; 8 cents in those categories, he ! said. Earlier the union had sought a basic 10-ccnt hourly increase for the 4,000 cannery workers in the area. In Salem, both cannery opera tors and union officials have been watching developments in Port land, since the local workers usually are given wage increases when Portland goes up. Negotiations have been started here between cannery owners and workers. But most have held off, waiting for Portland to set the pattern. Cannery and union offi cials here said there is very little likelihood of a strike in Salem. Salem workers have been con fcrrinc in recent days with major r packers here about wage jumps, a pension plan and what a Salem cannery Local spokesman termed "matters peculiar to certain plants."

Miller Reports on Activities of Past WASHINGTON LP Playwright Arthur Miller told the House Com mittee on Un-American Activities Thursday "I was never under Communist Party discipline." "As for contributing to front groups I wouldn't deny that I'm here to tell the truth," Miller said. Miller was questioned at length about his activities in 1947 when he received his first passport. The committee is inquiring into pos sible misuses of American pass ports to aid international commun- ism. Miller said he does not recall most of the incidents about which he was questioned, but added: "I woulc1 not deny it." "I would like to say I did sign a lot of things in those days," Miller said, but went on: "At the present time I would not be doing it, that's all." He said he did things in 1947 because "this suited the mood I was in. 7 He said in those days he was not in an "investigating mood." Miller also said "I would not now support a cause dominated by Communists." "You did at that time (1947)?" Chairman Walter (DPa) asked. "I did, yes," Miller said. With attorney Joseph L. Rah Jr. of Washington at his side. Miller answered almost all the questions promptly, without consulting his counsel. Miller said he had a passport in 1947. He applied for another one in March, 3954, but it was not is sued. He said he was told that thj State Department wanted further investigation. He now has a passport application pending, he said, to go to England. A tali, lanky man of 40.

Hospital Room Left for First Time by Ike WASHINGTON Ifi President Eisenhower left his hospital room Thursday for the first time since his operation June 9. White House press secretary, James C. Hagerty, said the Pres ident walked without support about 40 feet from his hospital bed into a corridor where he sat in a chair for a while before walk ing back to the bed. The mid-day medical bulletin is- sued at Walter Reed Hospital said "the President's condition continues to progress very satisfac torily; His temperature, pulse. blood pressure and respiration all continue normal. Eisenhower also conferred about 45 minutes with his chief assistant Sherman Adams, and staff mem bers on White House business. One of the matters of business was formal acceptance with "best wishes" for "health and happi ness" of the resignation of Robert B. McLeaish as head of the Farm ers Home Administration. McLeaish quit after Capitol Hill testimony that he was a heavy drinker. He denied the allegation and said he quit for "health rea sons" on the suggestion of Sec retary of Agriculture Benson. Among other actions the Presi dent signed five bills, sent a num ber of nominations to the Senate, and signed two Civil Aeronautics Board decisions and an atomic enerev agreement between thp United States and the Netherlands.

This sends the huge, controversial measure to the Senate and House (or final action. The House is to act first. The conferees working on the? tax sections of the bill finished their work in one session, winding up two hours after the conferees on the construction features fin ished their job. Indications were that the bill- one of the major pieces of legisla tive business for the 1956 session would be called up in both branch es early next week and rushed to President Eisenhower. Signing Expected The President is expected to sign the measure into law be fore July 1. The lax increases in the bill will become effective on that date. The lax increases would bring in about $14,800,000,000 in addition al revenues over the 16-year life of the program. They expire June 30. 1972. under the hill Sponsors of the measure con tend that these revenues, com- bined with money from existing levies on highway users, will be sufficient to finance the huge con struction program. - The principal tax boost is a one cent increase in the federal levy on gasoline, raising it lo three- cents a gallon. Other new taxes will hit trucks. busses, trailers, tires, tred rubber and fuels oilier than gasoline The conferences, en construction features spent their final session polishing the language as to de cisions previously reached. The House voled for $14,800, 000.000 of additional taxes over 16 years to help finance the big roadbuilding program. The Senate cut 300 millions from this figure by easing a special levy on heavy trucks. Tiie conferees arrived at the $.12,900,000,000 figure lower than those usee) by either 'the House or the Senate by limiting to three years the bill's application to pri mary, secondary (farm to mar ket) and urban road programs. The Senate's 37 billion dollar pro gram had projected these for five years. The House, in counting 5H4 billions, had estimated a 13-year program. But the federal money avauame for these three systems would be increased over the present 700 millions a year. The allotments would total 825 millions in fiscal 1957. 850 millions in 1958, and 875 millions in 1959. Presumably fu ture congresses would continue I horn at the 875 million level or higher. These federal funds are matched 50-50 by the, states. The compromise bill includes 27'.i millions for the interstate system, SO per cent of it federal money. This is the key feature to the bill; it envisages a network of superhighways extending Into every state. SEAMEN PURGED VIENNA, Austria WI A Polish newspaper says more than 1,906 "Doliticallv unreliable" merchant seamen have been purged by Po land s Communist government Dana's proposal, as It will come before the board for final action in August, asks that the Oregon law creating the board be amended to assign to the board functions conventionally accorded lo other boards and commissions. These functions, under Dana s proposals, includes recommenda tions that the state director of agriculture be appointed by hoard, subject to approval by the governor. Also, each board mem ber "shall be held responsible for furthering directly the interests of Ihe division of agriculture which he represents." "Under such procedure" Dana told the board "Oregon agricul ture would be accorded tho dig nity and service which its econo mic and social importance re quire." The board made it clear that the resolution carried no criti cism, express or implied, against Agriculture Director James F. Short, or members of his staff. "We believe the department, as an administrative agency of the state government is conduct ed with high efficiency," the statement concluded. "Our refer ences arc Ifi the unhappy restric tions upon the policy and respon sibilities which the board should exercise within the bracket of good organization of state's busi State Planning Freeways on Both 99, 30 Highway Bill Passage Would Enable ; Projects State highway officials painted a rosy picture today of f.hat they can expect with approval of thr $32,900,000,000 federal highway program. A border to border four - lone highways, bypassing cities and towns and with limited access throughout Its length was said to be in store for U. S. 99. U. S. 30 from Portland to the eastern border of the state would be in for a similar improvement with only some stretches of sparsely populated eastern Oregon destined to remain a two - lane route. The Slate Highway Department estimated Oregon expects to be allocated 26 million dollars a year for use on Highways 99 and 30 and 12 million a year for other routes. The slate would match . these with 10 per cent and 40 per cent, respectively. W. C. Williams, deputy slate highway engineers, said that the state would start work on U. S. 99 and U. S. 30 "to the end that these two great highways will be completed within the 13-year per- od for which Congress has pro vided the funds." "U.S. 99 will be a four-lane di ided highway from state line to state line," Williams said, "witav-" complete access. Restriction, meaning egress and ingress will be permitted only at traffic sep arated interchanges. "There will be no cross traffic at grade or any traffic signals on its entire length. It will go around cities and towns." Still to be worked out are de tails for financing the federal highway projet. Coast Guard Joins Lebanon Plane Search B-17 Flics Area Today; No Trace Found of Missing Men Joining in the search Thursday . for the Lebanon plane missing since last Thursday evening was a B-17 of the U.S. Coast Guard from Port Angeles, Wash. Aboard the lost plane were Dr. Ralph T. Johnston. Lebanon den tist, and Rev. Hartwick Hansen of Longvicw, Wash., and Salem. Their ultimate destination on the trip was Minneapolis, though they had planned to spend the first night cast of the Cascades. Flying General Route The coast guard plane, which arrived in Salem about 11 a.m. Thursday, will fly over the area east ol the Cascades taking a route from Lebanon to Bend, to Burns, to Boise, to Pendleton and then la Redmond, State Director of Aero nautics Earl Snyder said. Originally the air force had been asked to assign a helicopter to the search for a check of the heavily wooded areas, but there was no helicopter available for the search. McChord had only one helicopter and that was on a standby basis. The air search and rescue unit from there is in the process of being moved to Hamilton AFB, Calif. 'Copter Unavailable Sityder said McChord officials told him' that uso of helicopter would be a marginal operation in the mountainous areas and it was not practical for use in that type of terrain, except for rescue work. In Lebanon search headquarters said Thursday there was a ground party out in the Swamp Mountain area and also three planes were ' flying over that area. Thursday was the first day since Saturday that low-hanging clouds had not prevented flying over the moun tainous areas.
