Your Local ELECTROLUX Dealer PHIL PHILBROOK Jltllii "04 E. 3rd had to struggle part Everest sans oxygen tanks on their climb into the rare fied atmosphere on the. windswept peak, but apparently exhausted their supply on the way to the top. "We were without oxygen from the summit until we reached our camp, about three and a half hours," Whittaker said. He said the wind was so strong at the peak that he and Gombu could hardly speak to each other. "There was no communication other than by jerks of the rope," he said. Whittaker said he and Gombu reached the summit side by side and remained there about 20 minutes. It was previously report ed they had spent a half hour on the peak. "I was so busy I did not check my watch all the time," he said. U.S. Flag at Peak He said he drove a four-foot aluminum pole bearing the Ameri can flag into the snow "at the highest point of Everest." "The flag was unfurled and fly ing in the high wind," he said.

Staff members - explain budget Members of the Tri - County Health Department staff attend ed the county budget meeting last night, to explain askings for 1963- 64. Deschutes county's share of the proposed budget is $45,798.80 for general health and $15,618 for mental health, for a total of $61, 416.W. This is an increase of about $8300 over last year's combined budget, and just about represents the county's share of the salary of public health physician, Dr. William Maier, who will join the staff June 1. Anticipated receipts are $20, 535.60 for the general health bud get andll,022 for mental health. The budgets were separated this year because of a difference in sources of funds. General health receives 15 per cent federal money, on the basis of expendi tures. Mental health is supported 50 per cent by the state. Salary Increases ot $25 monuuy per staff member were request ed. The board decided last week to table salary fixing until other budget items are established, and then work out a general schedule. This policy will be followed in the health department as well as oth er offices, it was indicated. Speakers in the delegation were Miss Hiltje Hubbard, head nurse; Miss Helen Marcy, psychiatric so cial worker, and A. W. Westfall, sanitarian.

EASTERN OREGON AGENCY 1043 Bond St. 382-3783 representing WOODMEN ACCIDENT and LIFE COMPANY Great issue posed by sit-in prosecutions remains unsolved By Charlotte G. Moulton UPI Staff Writer WASHINGTON (UPD-The Su preme Court has momentarily re moved the sting from Southern sit-in prosecutions, but the great issue posed by the cases remains undecided. It Is: Does a business establish ment open to the general public have a right to choose its own customers? This blockbuster was reserved by the court at least until next term. It could be speculated that the short step the court took Monday was all it felt the country could stand in view of current racial un rest But the truth is that no one but the nine justices know why Full grazing due on May 16 Full grazing use of the Fort Rock district of the Deschutes Na tional Forest will not be possible this season until a week or more following the regular date, May 16. opening ! Some cattle have been placed on the forest, in instances where i their presence on home ranches ' was causing some trouble, but most of the stock will not be mov ed on the range until later in the week. Some of the cattle of Arn old ranchers are now on the sum mer range. Jack Shumway of the Powell Butte area placed some of his cat tle on the federal range today. on the Cinder Hill allotment west of Pine Mountain. There are also some cattle on Cabin Lake range. maximum of around 2,000 cat tle will be grazed on the district this season. I Sheep will not Co on the Fort Rock range until after June 16, ! with a total of around 50,000 head to be pastured there this summer. I In 1940, there were about 50,000 in this same area. Water for all stock on the Fort Rock summer ranges is hauled, mostly from deep wells. Fairly good range is expected this sea son. Disturbance brings action SALEM (UPI) A disturbance near the home of Gov. Mark Hat field Saturday brought quick re action trom the legislature. A House joint memorial intro duced today "directs the superin tendent of state police to provide security and protection for the governor and the governor's fam ily to the extent and in the man ner the superintendent deems ap propriate and adequate." In Saturday s incident, a bullet was fired into a car parked in Hatfield s driveway.

The court overturned trespass and criminal mischief convictions in four lunch-counter cases on he ground that local governments not storekeepers were actually to blame for the racial discrimina tion. Chief Justice Earl Warren held in the court's decision that locai laws and edicts had deprived busi nessmen of their freedom of choice as to who could be served on their premises. The thrust of the court's opin ion was that so long as these laws are on the books the proprietor of a store is presumed to act under them. What he would do if left to himself is beside the point at the moment, under the decision. In one case, from New Orleans, there was no local segregation ordinance. But Warren said state ments by the mayor and the po lice superintendent amounted to the same thing. This handling or the touchy "sit in" issue was urged on the court by the Justice Department in ac cordance with the time-honored principle that a major constitu- tional decision Is always avoid ed u a case can De disposed 01 on narrower grounds, As " Is. the decision will free hundreds of demonstrators who took part in the 196041 sit-in movement in places having simi lar segregation ordinances. They have been free on bond awaiting the results of Monday's cases, which came from Greenville, S.C., Birmingham, Ala., and Durham, N.C., in addition to New Orleans. The ruling had the preculiar re sult of barring discrimination in cities where there are local ordi nances requiring segregation, and leaving the whole matter up In the air in cities which do not have such ordinances. The suggestion was made dur- Ing November arguments that a decision like Monday's might well result in a rush to get such ordi- nances off the books. Justice Harlan Dissents ! ni i,n ti, t ui U',.. from m.. .lrt.: rMsnn. ing in the sit-in cases. He said "Freedom of the Individual to choose his associates or his neigh bors, to use and dispose of his property as he sees fit, to be irra tional, arbitrary, capricious, even unjust in his personal relations are tilings all entitled to a large measure of protection from gov ernmental interference. Harlan said the mere existence of ordinances requiring segrega tion in public eating places did not remove the businessman from the sphere of private choice. He said it should be shown in each case whether the proprietor was motivated by the ordinance or by some purpose of his own. A case argued last fall first pin pointed the rights of the operator of a private business. It concerned five Negroes who insisted on rid ing the carousel in privately oper ated Glen Echo Amusement Park in Montgomery County, Md. The court announced Monday that the case would be re-argued some time during the term start ing next October. Now you r bar none.

Yukon flooding forces families to flee homes ANCHORAGE, Alaska (UPI) -Raging flood waters of the Yukon River in central Alaska and the lower Kuskokwim River near the southwest coast forced hundreds of residents to flee their homes for higher ground today. Nearly 200 persons, mostly wom en and children, were flown to Fairbanks aboard Air Force planes from the villages of Ruby, Koyukuk, Campion and Galena on the Yukon. Emergency rations and medical supplies were flown from Galena to another river village, Nulato. At Koyukuk, the water was ris ing so fast that Air Force heli copters were forced to pick up evacuees with canvas slings be cause the helicopters had no dry ground space to land. At Galena, the ice-choked Yukon was within five feet of spilling over a dike protecting the Air Force installation there. Air Force IX. Col. Richard Por- tillo, Los Angeles, supervising the operations of five H21 helicopters and four C123 transport planes, said massive chunks of ice and debris were tearing up homes and boats along the river. The refugees were housed in a Fairbanks school under the care of the Red Cross. Radio stations broadcast pleas for 'volunteer Jiclp to tako care of the smaller chll- Idren. Fairbanks Civil Defense di rector Leonard Lobbon said the Yukon was rising at the rate of one foot in 12 hours at Galena. Predicted rain threatened to make flooding worse. On the lower Kuskokwim. Bethel Civil Defense Director Robert Gib son said the water had reached "an unprecedented dangerously high" level.
