The final Arab toll was expected to be much .higher. The dead was onlv for the fighting around the Jordan border fortress of'Kalkii- ya. Several other Jordanian bor der villages were caught up in the fighting that swirled along a 12-mile sector of the frontier. Israeli sources s?id "scores" of Jordanians were bilieved wound ed in the battle, the heaviest fight ing in seven years of Jewish-Arab border tension. The dead were said to be one-half Arab Legion naires and the rest police and na tional guardsmen.

(12:36 p.m., PST) when it was approximately 180 miles southwest of Land's End, Brit ain's most westerly point. The U. S. 7th Air Division in London said a signal, reported to be an SOS, that was picked up by search planes and relayed to An drews! Air Force Base in Mary land as possibly coming from the Liftmaster, was a garbled version of a message between freighters discussing the search operation. The transport was due at Lajes 12:21 a. m. Thursday (4:21 p. m., VST Wednesday). When it last reported back to base here it still had enough fuel to keep it airborne until 5:30 a.' m. Thurs day (9:30 p. m. PST) Wednesday.

Other British, American and Portuguese air force planes from Germany, France,. North Africa and the Azores coursed the east ern Atlantic;, and:, all shipping-in the area was asked, to be on the alert for signs of wreckage or sur vivors. The search ,was aided by excellent, weather and visibility up to 18 miles.

Reese (R- Tenn) charged that the polio pro gram was being made a political football just before election day. Reese is the lone Republican member of a House Government Operations subcommittee investi gating government vaccine purch ases and pricing practices of drug manufacturers. He said at the outset he had "grave apprehen sions" over an inquiry 'at this time. ' "I think it's very, very un fortunate," Reese said, "that we are put in the position of playing politics with such a service as the Public Health Service, which in the whole course of its history has never been involved in pol itics." The subcommittee, headed by Rep. Fountain (D-NC), summoned federal health officials for a re port on administration of the fed eral vaccine assistance program under which 27 million dollars of Salk vaccine to date has been purchased and distributed to the states for free immunization. In a memorandum by its staff, the subcommittee noted that the five licensed vaccine manufactur ers made "substantially identi cal" bids to supply vaccine to the government under three contract awards from October 1955. through June, 1956. Employers Pay Record Sum to Jobless Fund ', . ..- t 1 v 'i i Figures Indicate Total Covered Payroll at j $380 Million ; ' By JAMES D. OLSON j Capital Journal Writer Oregon emploiers contributed $5,155,805 to the state unemploy ment compensation fund during the third quarter of 1956, just con cluded, for the highest amount ever collected in a three-month period during the history of the commission, it was announced Thursday. Although the commission said that tabulation of the 25,000 re ports had not yet been completed, the figures indicate co-ered pay rolls totaling over $380,000,000 dur ing the second quarter of 1956. This figure may exceed the for- mer record of $382,371,801 estab lished in the third quarter of 1955. Commission officials predict that when , tabulations arc completed for July, August and September ot, this year, all past records will be shattered:- ' n-w.; . ' '. ; Wider coverage, an ' increasing tax rate and steadily rising wages, as' well as full emDlovment. are held responsible for the record in flow of funds. Full effect of1 the two-or-more employes covered, authorized by the 1953 legislature, is just beginning to be felt. A total of 6,000 firms in this category have already signed up since. Jan uary 1, when this section of the law became effective. Another important factor, the commission said, is the provision raising the taxable portion of tne individual's annual wage from $3,000 to $3,600. Average tar rates to employers now are close to .1.35 per cent of payrolls comparing with a low of l.u per cent during 1953.' - , . Despite the record contribution, the unemployment trust fund at $53,908,899 on September 30 was nearly two million dollars under the amount in the fund on the same date a year ago. While payments to unemployed workers reached $1,578,389 during the third quarter, a sum slightly less than the amount paid out in the same period a year ago, offi cials said that heavy payments last winter brought the outgo dur ing the 1955-56 benefit year to $18,242,645, considerably more than was collected. , JljJOUraai '"CT.ONS X'J : - ' !K'-.'. ;-'V 52:;PflC'-,--'- r- Price 5c ' -J U "'" --' -;' V v:'-' , ;! ; - ; A ,tt. .

Governor Step In 'War' Asked By Gas Dealers Smith Urged to Counsel Companies to Stop , Price-Cutting Representatives of the Oregon Gasoline Dealers Association to day asked Gov. Elmo Smith to intervene in the Eugene area gasoline "price war" by request ing all major oil companies to stop alleged price cutting. The dealers association repre sents some 3500 independent oil dealers in the state. The gasoline men told the gov ernor that many major oil com panies- were 'orcing the retail price of gasoline so low that in dependent dealers could not com pote. ' They claimed that an independ ent operator had. to maintain a 6 cent differential between .- whole sale and retail price and that, by. retaining ownership- ot -the gaso line and bv reason of their large operation, the big companies could eliminate the - independents Irom competition. - i ; Dealers, representing ' Eugene, Medford, Roscburg and other areas of the state told the gover nor that they could initiate legal action through the district attor ney's office, but that they would rather settle matters outside the courtroom.

Says He's Done All Possible to Curb Bomb Threat WASHINGTON 11 President Eisenhower, firing back at Adlai Stevenson, said Thursday his ad ministration has done everything humanly possible to bring the H bomb threat Under international control and use atomic power for peaceful purposes. Eisenhower also told a news conference he regards manage ment of America's intcrnaraffairs the paramount issue of the presidential campaign. A reporter told Elsenhower that Stevenson, the Democratic pres idential nominee, .said in an ad dress at Seattle Tuesday night that Republican politicians, in cluding the President, have little understanding or sympathy with attempts to save man from the greatest horror his ingenuity has ever devised. Stevenson was talking about the H-bomb and defending his pro posal that H-bomb tests be ended, under certain conditions. , In reply. Eisenhower said the record is there and speaks for it self. He then went on to say his ad ministration has done everything humanly possible to get this thing (the H-bomb I under control 'and use it for peace.

This is demonstrated, Eisenhow er told his news conference, by the fact as the President put it that, the Democrats talk about raising federal spending and cut ting taxes at the same time. If this country Is going to con tinue to prosper, It must main tain sound dollars, Eisenhower said. , The President commented that millions of Americans are de pendent on pensions whose value is governed by the buying power of the dollar.
