Orei Company Families All Get Polio Serum Stayton to Elkins Tells Probers of Build New 9 U.S. Gives Up in UN On Israel Jerusalem Denies Deal; Sanctions Talked Anew UNITEDNATIONS, N. Y. (AP) - The U.S. dele gation announced Thurs day Ambassador Henr v Cabot Lodge had suspended his efforts to produce a compromise Middle East resolution pending the outcome of Washington nego tiations. Lodge had been in almost con tinuous consultation with other delegations since Tuesday, in the hope of getting agreement on a resolution which would get Israeli forces out of the Gaza Strip and Egypt without resorting to sanc tions. Sanctions! Steam Builds Up There was no comment from the U.S. delegation on the talks between Secretary of State Dulles and Israeli Foreign Minister Gol ds Meir and Ambassador Abba Eban. The suspension of Lodge's ef forts came as Asian,. Arab andf Soviet bloc delegates notified the U.N. they would press ahead with i their demands for sanctions. A scheduled morning debate on the Israeli-Egyptian dispute was cancelled, but at least five speak ers all in favor of sanctions said they were prepared to take the floor at an afternoon session of the General Assembly. Delegates were bewildered by conflicting statements from Wash ington and Jerusalem on a report ed agreement under which : Israeli forces would withdraw behind the 1949 armistice line. An Israeli of ficial in Jerusalem denied any such action had been agreed upon. Foul Up in Signals Reports from Washington said the United. States, France and Is rael reached agreement on a plan for Israeli troops to withdraw promptly from Gaza Strip and Gulf of Aqaba areas. The plan was said to call for their replace ment by troops of the U.N. Emer gency Force, who would remain - in" the disputed 'areas until the Egyptian-Israeli troubles quieted.

Ending three days of talks aimed in large part at repair uf French-American relations, Ei senhower and Mollet in a joint statement reaffirmed a United Nations declaration of last Octo ber calling for "free and open transit" through the Suez Canal "without discrimination." The President and the French premier made no reference in the communique to hopes for with drawal of Israeli forces from ,lhe Gaza Strip and the Gulf of Aqaba area without, resort to U.N. sanc tions against Israel. In the communique. Eisenhower and Mollet indicated that Ihey had made progress toward heal ing the rift in relations between their two countries which devol ped when France joined British ana Israeli lorces lasi lau in m, attack on Egypt. The talks between the two men had been scheduled to end Wednesday. They were prolonged by a day. however, apparently to review the latest developments in the Israeli troop withdrawal crisis.. Weather Zijs Back to Spring Thursday brought a perfect spring day for Salem with blue sky and lots of sunshine as capricious weather brought an other shift. A week ago tonight a silver thaw started, to last through Saturday morning, follow ed by considerable rain, then cloudy skies and now (air weather. The fair weather is forecast to continue through tonight and Fri day with patches of early morning valley fog. Rivers through this section of the valley are failing, the Willam ette measuring 15.8 feel at Salem this morning after cresting at 16 2 feet Wednesday. The Santiam at Jefferson also was down, dropping to II. I at midnight. Night temperatures arc still on the cool side, the early morning minimum in Salem being at .13 Thursday with Ihe forecast callins fnr 32, (reeling tcneratut to- "I'm not too'sure I like this," says Deb bie Ann Wilkalis, 2, as that big needle filled with polio vacine" gels closer to her . arm.

Thi mnv sound like mass mur der. But It wasn't. -It was just a part, of the mass polio inoculation program at the Moore Business Forms plant on oum iom.su eci. The idea for the program ori uinated in the Mooregon club, a group made up of all Moore em- ploves. Early mis year uie tiuu decided that it would be a good plan to see that all Moore work ers and their families were pro tected from the dread disease. Plans were quickly coordinated and late in January, the employes got their first injection. -Back for Seconds Wednesday night they were all back for "seconds." The third and final "shot" will be given late in JlllV.: More than 100 lined the firm s hallway Wednesday. Since there are only about 100 employes at the plant, it is evident that the per sonnel have been nearly 100 per cent cooperative in the project Charles Domogalla, president of ",uu- i"J- the Mooregon club. "about 75 different families are taking the shots." He said other employes, who were not taking them, had had polio inoculations previously. Wednesday's project was well organized. It took less than an hour. Most of the employes took the shots like old veterans. One brave fellow said, after getting his shot, "the only thing I felt was the cotton." The children of some of the workers weren't quite so courag eous. Gary and Cathy Coker, aged 4 and 2, son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Coker, 270 Ken wood Dr., were especially vehe ment in their protests. Most of the scare must have been psychological, though.

(Capital Jour nal Photo by Jerry Claussen) Norblad Jousts With Governor On Road Funds WASHINGTON (UP) Rep. Walter Norblad today took issue with Gov. Robert Holmes who he said asserted the Department of Agriculture was guiltyvof. "gross discrimination against Oregon in the allocation of forest highway construction money." , . Norblad quoted the governor as saying Oregon received less than 13 per cent of the total Federal allotment for forest highways "de spite the fact that the state's na tional forests account for nearly 36 per cent of the value of timber cut from all national forests." Norblad said that the funds are allocated on a formula consistent with the law and have been for the past 30 years. "If the formula is ouldaled," Norblad added, "then it should be brought up to date. But a public official should not be taken to task for administering the law under long-standing practices." The Oregon Republican said the Department of Agriculture has initiated a study to ascertain what changes if any are needed in the formula for allocating the highway funds. He added that a comparison of Oregon's allocation of funds with total funds required nationwide, shows that Oregon has been Tairly treated. Fairgrounds Site for New Armory Okayed By STEPHEN A.

Sale of stock in the new Santiam Golf Club will start immediately, representatives of the group said Thursday. : Exact site of the proposed links is 11 miles from downtown Salem along the new route of Highway 22. The Stayton group, which has incorporated under the heading of Santiam Golf Club, has purchased 110 acres of rolling land for the project. Stock $275 a Share According to President John D. Davis of Stayton, construction of the first nine holes will start as soon as 125 shares of stock arc sold. Initial sale of stock will be limited to ISO shares, Davis said, after which a general membership meeting will be held to elect offi cers of the ciub and Isy down fu ture plans of operation. The stock will cost $275 per share and will entitle a purchaser to membership in the golf ciub, Davis said. Another initial obliga tion will be pledge of 40 hours o! work by each member. "We have this set up as a com munity project. With everyone helping, plus the heavy equipment we've rounded up, we think we can save thousands of dollars in costs," Davis said. Course Already Lnid Out The golf course has already been lnid out and was designed by Fred Federspiel, noted architect of Os wego Country club in Portland. It totals 6.564 yards in length and will play to a 72 par. Davis said that it is possible that the first nine holes may he ready for play early next fall.

AG Rules One Tax Item Can Be Voted Out Ucfcrciuliim Can Reject Surtax, Still Retain Other Increases '. By JAMES D. OLSON Capital Journal Writer Voters of Oregon have the right to iiivoko ino rcicrenuum - on one item of a lax bill without affecting the validity o another Item, At torney General Robert Y, Thorn ton ruled Thursday. This means that should Ihe legis lature pass a bill, containing a sec tion repealing the 45 per cent surtax , and also providing in creased income tax rates, the rale item could be referred lo the voters and the surtax repeal would remain in effect. The opinion was renuesled by Sen. Rudie Wilhelm, Jr. (Rl Port land, who pointed out to Thornton that the Democrats had introduced a bill containing the repealer and also Ihe income lax rates. "The referendum may be de manded by the people against one or more items, sections or parts of any act of Ihe legislature in the same manner in which such pow er may be exercised against a complete act," Thornton ruled. "The filing of a referendum peti tion against one or more items, sections or parts of an act, shall not delay the remainder of that act from becoming operative." The attorney general said the provision quoted was, in his opin ion, "free of any ambiguity and docs not require any statutory construction." In addition lo the Democratic bill tving the repealer lo the rates, the Republicans have several hills calling simply for Ihe repeal of Ihe surlax. Several allempls have been made to gel the repealer hills out of the house luxation commit tee without success. Rep. Wnyne Giesy has moved for consideration of these bills on an. average of twice a week but has been voted down by the Demo cratic majority on the tax com miltce.

Meanwhile, several trucks were trying to find a high route into the area to bring more sup Jplict. GUARDED Porter said police had told, him lhat "even a congressman should not consider himself immune from the long arms of Trujillo's ven geance," and he continued: "Who is this man who has the effrontery to send his hired thugs into New York, Washington, Chi cago, Los Angeles, and Miami?. . . The Chicngo gangster methods he employs so skillfully in the United States are only . a pallid demonstration of the savagery of which he Is capable. . . "Clenrly, the time is 16ng over due to demonstrate that the United States will not, tolerate , Trujillo's abuses. We could take economic measures to hurt the dictator's pockelbook." Porter said there is much evi dence that the Dominican govern ment is guilty of "willful complic ity' in the disappearance of Mur phy and of Jesus Galindoz, an anti-Trujillo partisan who was a lecturer at Columbia University in New York. The Dominican government lias said (hat Murphy was killed by a fellow pilot in the Dominican Air lines, and that this man, Octavlo do la Mnza, then committed sui cide and left a note confessing responsibility for Murphy s death. The Trujillo government has denied any knowledge of the cir cumstances of Galindcz j disap pearance last March 12. Schrunk Says Elkins Wrong PORTLAND lfl Mayor Terry Schrunk, who was Multnomah County sheriff before election to the top. city position, said Wednes day there was no "control" of his sheriff's office by the Teamsters Union or, for lhat matter, by James B, Klkins. Klkins testifying in Washington Wednesday before a Senate inves tigating committee said he felt he could not get protection from Ihe sheriff's office because, lie said, the Teamsters controlled it. Schrunk said that at no lime did Elkins ever ask for protection nor did he or Portland police report to him any threats which Klkins testified were made against him. However, Schrunk said.'his cars did cruise by Klkins' home more or less regularly to "see who was going in and out."

In addition penalty Ices on li censes increase Ihe cost from $1 to K for males and spayed le males and from $2 to for fe males after that dale.
