Callahan announced. The shakeup came just one j week after the commission itself was reorganized with the appoint ment of Wilfred Jordan, Coos Bay, to succeed Sidney B. Lewis, and Charles Gill Jr., former Grants Pass mayor, to succeed Mrs. Emily P. Logan. Lewis and Mrs. Logan were fired by Gov. Mark Hatfield after being charged with "inefficiency in office." Callahan, the only holdover commissioner from the former board, was named chairman by the new appointees, who an nounced the chairmanship would be rotated each year. In today's action the commis sion abolished the field services division which resulted from a 1962 reorganization of the depart ment. Three Out July 15 Laid off effective July 15 by vir tue of elimination of their jobs were George Hessevick, general manager, top administrative offi cer of the SIAC: Paul Jaeger, di rector of the field services divi sion which was established last year: and Louis Horn, manager of the Salem field services office. Callahan said the future of five other field service offices in Portland, Eugene, Medford, Pen dleton and Bend had not yet been determined. He said he doubted they would be closed. Callahan said the shakeup an nounced today would result In a $50,000 savings because ol what he termed "an overlayer of super vision" brought about by creation of the field services division. "We're kind of moving things around." Callahan said, "to see if we can make things run smoother. Let's say we're trying to put round pegs in round holes and square pegs in square holes. "There will be other changes. we'll announce them at the end of the week if we can get things worked out by then," he said. An estimated 100 employes ef fected by today's reorganization will be shifted to other jobs in the department, it was announced. "No one has been tired," caua- han said. "But posts held by three individuals have been abolished at a salary saving of $28,000. "Thev will be given every con sideration in locating other jobs, either within SIAC or in some other agency."

S. ban on travel of Cuba, flew here from Czecho slovakia Sunday in hopes of meet ing Premier Fidel Castro. They ignored State Department warnings of possible five-year prison sentences and up to $5,000 fines and went more than 8,000 miles out of their way to make the trip. Group leader Levi Laub, of Columbia University, said the stu dents will spend a month in Cu ba as guests of the Cuban Insti tute for Friendship Among Peo ples (ICAP). He said they had no political motives for the trip and merely wanted to "see what's taking place on this island '90 miles from Florida' as we are tired of canned reports, misleading synopses, garbled accounts, hall- truths and no-truths." The students arrived aboard a Railroads urged to return to 'collective bargaining' CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa UPI- The Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen (ORCB) today urged the nation's railroads to "return to genuine collective bar gaining to avert a nationwide railroad strike later this month.

Airlines personnel, travelers and tourists gathered for a look at Marylin (Mandy) Rice-Davis when she arrived for a holiday flight to Majorca. Her flight was delayed 30 min utes while she posed for news photographers and tourists. Some of them thought she was royalty as she was escorted to her plane by airport police. 'Who is this nice young lady? an unidentified American tourist asked. 'I'm notorious," Miss Rice-Da vis replied. "I shall go down in history as another Lady Hamil ton" the mistress of Lord Nel son. Miss Rice-Davis, a friend of Christine Keeler whose relations with War Minister John Profumo resulted In his resignation, had testified she had been intimate with Lord Astor. She left under bond lo return to testify anew if necessary in the trial of society osteopath Stephen Ward. Charges against Ward in clude living on the earnings of pro stitutes and arranging abortions. "I do not want to come back. but I shall have to," M'ss Rice- Davies said. The London press said that still more "mystery girls" iden tified only as "Miss W" and "Miss M" will testify that Ward helped perform abortions on them. gget'isw Wildly-cheering Roman throng mobs Kennedy ROME (UPI)-A wildly cheer ing throng of Romans, undaunted by 90-degree heat, mobbed Presi dent Kennedy here today and se curity guards had to form a fly ing wedge to rescue him from ad mirers seeking to shake his hand. Other enthusiastic crowds lined streets Ave deep at points and scuffled with police for a close look as the U.S. President drove through the Eternal City on the first day of a visit that will feature a historic meeting Tues day with Pope Paul VI. The good - natured mob scene occurred near the Tomb of the Cubana Airlines plane from Prague for the visit, which is be ing paid for by the Cuban govern ment. They were welcomed at the air port by Student Union leaders of Havana University and Robert Williams, former official of the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People (NAACP), currently a fugitive from a kidnaping charge stem ming from a racial clash in Mon roe, N.

The board adopted the state ment following a review of the so-called "featherbedding" dis pute between the carriers and five operating unions. It was an nounced by Louis J. Wagner, president of the ORCB. The present crisis could have been avoided by strict adherence to the traditional collective bar gaining policies of the railroad industry policies which once made railroad labor-management relations a model for all other industries, the board said. "The original notices of the railroads and the recommenda tions of the Presidential Railroad Commission actually foreclose collective bargaining in many areas of employment," it said. The statement said workers in other industries have collective bargaining rights which have not been challenged by management Wagner reported that "a wor sening situation developed as the railroads resorted to legal ma neuvers, court proceedings and other tactics which were designed to thwart collective bargaining." Conferences of mutual concern held by union and management representatives on a number of individual railroads until recent times have "virtually disap peared," the board said. The board said collective bar gaining is now "practically a thing of the past. We have an industry in which labor and man agement can no longer agree on what constitutes a mutual prob lem because of management pre occupation with the war it is waging against its own em ployes." The so-called featherbedding dispute between the nation's car riers and unions involves the railroad's plans of putting into ef fect work rules changes which would eliminate thousands of jobs. Thr unions threaten to strike if the changes are put into effect. DISCUSSES POLITICS WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen. Thruston B.

The Soviet leader will climax his visit to East Berlin with a major speech to a mass meeting Tuesday afternoon, Communist authorities announced. Western officials assumed Khrushchev would use the speech for a foreign policy statement, possibly on the Berlin situation and Moscow's stand in the ideolog ical and political dispute with the Communist Chinese.

Khrushchev was believed seek ing full backing for a tough stand against the Peking regime in connection with scheduled Sino Soviet talks in Moscow this week on ideological and political differ ences. There was speculation that Khrushchev was consulting his satellite leaders on the possibility of calling off the Moscow talks in view of the widening breach In recent days. The talks are sched uled to begin next Friday. Relations between Moscow and Peking were strained further by Soviet expulsion of five Chinese from Moscow for circulating a Chinese letter strongly critical of Kremlin policies. In disclosing the explusion Saturday, Peking called the Soviet move "rash" and "unreasonable."
