Egypt, Russia To Hit West Suez Proposal UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. im Egypt and Russia are expected to hit hack hard next week at the Western proposal for U.N. dorsement of the London confer ence plan for international control of the Suez Canal. Diplomats of the two countries declined comment after they heard the proposal yesterday in the 11-nation Security Council. But there was widespread belief in U.N. circles that Russia would use the veto when the issue comes to a vote. Egypt already has said it will not agree to international control of the canal. The Soviet Union has supported Egypt's nationalization of the waterway. The Suez debate appeared head ed for closed-door sessions as oon as Soviet Foreign Minister Dmitri Shepilov, Egyptian Foreign Minis- . i r 1 J c- .....

X I at Two Indicted For Woodburn Bank Break-in PORTLAND Wf A federal grand jury Friday indicted two teen-agers on a charge of attempt ing burglary at tne postomce ana bank at woooourn. Raymond S. Ainge, 16, ' and Ronald Eugene Huffman, 17, were charged with forcing their way into the Woodburn variety store and then into the postoffice lo cated there. - The postoffice safe was taken and later found near Silverton with money missing. Nothing was taken from the Bank of Oregon, which also was entered. The burglary occurred in Au gust, the same night several Gervais establishments also were entered. The indictments were the first federal charges against juveniles in Oregon in several years. As a rule, juveniles are prosecuted under a delinquency statute. Ainge had been placed in a home on transfer from the Woodburn boys school at the time of the burglary. Delay on Base 'Temporary') WILSONVILLF. (Special) Rep resentative Walter Norblad (R Ore) Friday evening told a com munity gathering at the Wilsonville Grade School that the delay in the new Woodburn' Air Base was only temporary. "I do not believe," said Nor blad, "that the failure to acquire land this year will in anv wav slow down future construction ef forts. "The situation here is totally different than that in other places where no adequate base presently exists. The air force now and has been for some ten or fifteen years operating from the Portlan-' Air Base and can continue to g i v e adequate defense protection from that locatic- wniie tne wooaDurn Base is under construction. So. the Woodburn construction cannot be considered as an emergency or "crash' program that must be con structed immediately." Football Scores By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Iowa 14, Ore.

The heavy streaks of light at the right of the picture were made by headlights of moving cars while the light streaks in the front came from tail lights of other ears. The scene, looking south, was taken from Center and 12th' streets. The new lighting system, designed by Portland General Electric Co. engineers transforms the area from one of the poorest lighted to one of the best lighted streets In the city. The 115,000 project Includes 55 mercury vapor Ughls on 35 standards replacing previous lighting of 1910 vintage. The lights, of 20,000 lumen mercury vapor type, gives three times as much light as similar incandescent types. The new lighting Is from Ferry street to the new Union street extension to Summer street. (Capital Journal Picture) . Two Pilots Crash of PAINE AFB. Wash. Wl Two slightly scratched Air Force lieu- , . i n. tenants-survivors of a 400-mile-' an-hour plane crasn ana a para chute jump into Washington's wild and rugged Olympic Mountains were back at this' base today. A hundred miles away, ground crews and aerial search parties sought the pilots' radar observers, hopeful the two men will be found alive. Home with their families, who waited 20 anxious hours before learning of their rescue, were 1st Lt. Eugene A. Hamby, 26, of Hills boro, Ore., and 2nd Lt. George W. Deer, 22, Meadville, Miss. Still believed wandering through the mountain country arc 1st Lt. Robert L Canup Jr., 2a, Salisbury, N.C., and 1st Lt. Jim B. Paschall, 22, Paradise, Texas. They are believed to have para chuted with Hamby and Deer when the two Air Force F89d jets collided although no one saw them leave their planes.

Consideration of the ordinance will be preceded by a public hear in?, and Roy Harland, atlorney lor Olsen, will ask for an amendment in the application to pve th' zone changed to a C-2 instead of a C-3 business zone. Objections Arise The reason for this is that some objection has come up to a C - 3 classification which would open the property to general business. A C-2 change would open it to re stricted business. The property is considered suitable for a future shopping district and C-2 is be lieved liberal enough for the usual businesses found in a shopping? center. The ordinance bill for revised house numbering, street designs ; tions with prefixes, and dividing the city into six districts will again be on the agenda for final action and probably will pass Monday night. Another annexation petition will appear Monday night. It involves 12th Street Project Survive Jets in Air i viewed upon his return by hell copter from the Olympics last night.

'Hammond. "Some of these workers make two. three and even four calls on a potential contributor before betting results," Hammond point ed out. "These workers arc all volunteers who are donating their time to this cause in which every citizen of Salem should want to have a part." Speaking at the Friday United Fund report luncheon Bernard Mainwaring, Capital-Journal pub lisher, expressed the apprecia tion of the UF board and the citizens of Salem in general for .E,J.

R.I. (l -Adlai E. Stevenson Saturday accused the Eisenhower administration of "political cynicism" about tariffs and an "unfeeling altitude toward the troubles of the textile indus try." It was the opening address of his stumping tour through in dustrial New England. . "I believe in a policy ot gradual tariff, reduction." he said. : The Democratic presidential nominee contended the Eisenhow er administration had made an "election year gesture toward the textile industry" by announcing an increase in wool tariffs and negotiations to reduce cheap Jap anese textile imports. Stevenson called this "political cynicism a month before elec tion." He said GOP policy shows "little concern for Ihe little man "5hing "? Stevenson said Republicans killed a Democratic bill in the Senate to help localities with a high degree of unemployment. Stevenson said that, since the campaign started, Elsenhower is "talking as if Ihe Republican party had invented the social re forms we call the New Deal."

Been Forewarned McKeon said the worst part ot the sentence given him after a long court martial trial last July and August was that it made it impossible for him to continue his Marine Corps career.

Stevenson of hurting "America's security Interests throughout the world" by "loose talk" about ending the draft soon. A Presidential statement issued at the While House did not men tion Stevenson by name but was obviously aimed at him, It said that to end selective service now I would greatly weaken U.S. dc- "We must not by weakness In- vile another war." Ktsenhower also declared the free world looks to the U.S. for leadership in "standing firm against the Communist push" and added: "We must not now betray that leadership by loose talk of soon ending the draft. The world can only construe that as letting down our guard. Stevenson early in September called lor ending the draft "at Ihe earliest possible moment' consistent with the nation's safe ly. On Sept. 29, at Minneapolis, he referred to the draft as "waste ful" and "inefficient" and sug gested the whole problem of re cruiting and training manpower he freshly studied in the light of new weapons. .11 v' tK vvV l n 3 Run Blast Feature of 5-3 Win NEW YORK tfl - Enos Slaught er, 40-year-old . veteran of th baseball wars, slammed a three run homer In the sixth inning Sat urday ta provide a 5-3 victory for the New York Yankees in the third game of -the World Seriei, PLAY - BY PLAY OF TODAY'S GAME ON SECTION 1, PAGE Z.
