after he was discovered laying
; on the floor of the digester build
ing at the Oregon , Pulp and
Paper mill on South Commercial
street.
Little is known of the circum

. found shortly after 8 a.m. by fel
low employes near some pipes
. near the base of the digester. He
. had crawled some 20 feet from
: the scene of the fall, his broken
glasses and blood spots indicated.
, i He had last been seen about a
half hour earlier, mill employes
". said.
; Fox, a pipefitter at the mill,
i apparently fell about eight feet

- leaning against some pipes, other
:; workers said.

ments will be announced by Vir-

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-

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."

Twelfth street was not deserted as one might think at first
glance at this time exposure picture taken of the recently installed
atreet lighting by Capital Journal photographer Jerry Claussen.
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

on the city council agenda Mon
day night for final action.
Consideration of the ordinance
will be preceded by a public hear

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

the city into six districts will again
be on the agenda for final action
and probably will pass Monday
night.

Adlai Attacks
Administration
Tariff Policy
PROVIDENCE. 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."

Draft End Talk
Hurts Security
WASHINGTON M President
Elsenhower Saturday accused Ad
lai E. 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.
