Bax ter Pole and Tie Co. at The Dalles was reported today. A union spokesman called it the "'first breakthrough" in the cur rent Northwest lumber wage dis pute, but an employer spokesman discounted this. Earl Hartley, executive secre tary of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union's Western Council said the LSW had accepted a one year contract calling for a 15-cent hourly across the - board wage hike. The agreement, reached here Tuesday, extends through next Way 31. The LSW went on strike against the Baxter firm June 18, affecting about 110 employes. Work re sumed at the plant today follow ing acceptance of the offer by un ion members at a 6 a.m. meeting in The Dalles. First Breakthrough Hartley said, "This is the first breakthrough on wages in indus try negotiations. We see a definite crack in the strike front." But Karl Glos, executive vice president of the Timber Operators Council (TOO, a 196-memher em ployer group, said the settlement with Baxter was not considered ""breakthrough." There Is no correlation be tween the Baxter Company's oper ations, a manufacturer and pro cessor of creosoted poles and pil ing, and the logging, lumber and plywood industry," Glos said. He said the Baxter firm was a mem ber of the Pine Industrial Rela tions Council of Klamath Falls. Thus far, no members of the TOC have been struck but the re gion's two big unions have threat ened to spread a walkout that started earlier this month against two members of another employer group, the Big Six. The LSW had gone on strike against the firm June 18 and about 110 workers were affected. Work resumed at the plant to day following acceptance of the offer by union members at a 6 a.m.. meeting in The Dalles. Hartley said, "This is the first breakthrough on wages in indus try negotiations. We see a definite crack in the strike front." The agreement was reached here Tuesday in the presence of Federal Mediator George Walker. The LSW and the International Woodworkers of America (1WA) went on strike June 5 against two members of the lumber industry's Big Six and the other four firms shut down, idling some 19,000 men in the three Pacific Coast Sates. No further talks have been scheduled between these firms and the unions, but the LSW meets here with Georgia- Pacific on July 10. Hartley said the Western Coun cil's executive committee also would meet in Portland on July 11 to review the situation. I'll save your papers while you're away!

Following the hearing, oom misioners will consider a request of Jim Arntz to exchange a tract of his property for the deed to a roadway at the southerly end of old Bruin Field, adjacent to Third Street near the underpass. The board also will consider a petition by property owners to improve and pave E. Burnside from E. Fifth to Sixth Streets.

Horn, Palmer have purchased Bend Auto Parts Purchase of the Bend Auto Parts, Inc., 61 Oregon Avenue, by two long-time residents of this city, Fritz Horn and Ike Palmer, was announced today as the new owners prepared to take over ac tive management of the plant. Bend Auto Parts was estab lished in Bend more than 30 years ago by the late Arthur O. Schil ling and Paul Hampson. The pur chase by Horn and Palmer was from Mrs. Schilling. Tlie new own ers said Miss Leola Rose, Bend Auto Parts secretary-treasurer, would remain as office manager. She is a long-time employee of the firm. Horn presently is operator of the Mission Texaco Service Sta tion at the corner of Bond and Franklin in Bend, and Palmer for the past 22 years has been with the Moty-Van Dyke firm in Bend, and manager of the company's PrineviUe plant. Both Bend men will give up their present business connections to give full time to the operation of the Bend Auto Parts. Horn has been with the Mission station for the past 27 years, and has been a resident of Bend since 1936. One of the immediate plans of the new owners of Bend Auto Parts is to expand stock.

The 50-year-old Ward pleaded innocent to the cfiarges against him. His lawyer said Ward would reserve his defense for presenta tion in court later. The judge's ruling came on the third day of a pre-trial hearing for Ward, who was charged with eight vice counts, including aiding abortion, luring teen-age girls into prostitution and living olf earn ings of prostitutes. Ward, the man who introduced playgirl Christine Keeler to for mer War Minister John Profumo and touched off a scandal that has rocked Britain, was granted bail of $5,600. The bail was cov ered by two sureties of $2,800 each one of them put up by Ward's literary agent, Pelham' Pound. The court ruling came after a middle-aged mystery man testi fied he had sexual relations with Miss Keeler in Ward's apartment and found her to be "an amusing companion." The hearing started last Friday with sensational testimony by Miss Keeler and her former roommate, 18-year-old Marilyn (Mandy) Rice-Davies. Miss Keel er testified she had sex relations for money with Profumo and for mer Soviet naval attache Eugene Ivanov. Mandy told the court she had been intimate with Lord As ter, master of the famed Cliveden Estate, where Miss Keeler first met Profumo as she emerged in the nude from a swimming pool. Ward will be tried at the Old Bailey Criminal Court, where tome of Britain s most sensation al trials have been heard. Earlier, an attractive model identified only as "Miss W" told the hearing she became pregnant following sexual relations with Ward. She also said she submit ted to an abortion arranged by Miss Keeler.

Brogan Bulletin Staff Wrltir , Bend faces one of its quietest Fourth of July holidays in years. But there will be plenty of ac tion in other parts of the Central Oregon scene, mostly in Prine viUe and at the Warm SprStgs reservation. Bend residents will be reminded of the significance of the day through the Jaycees' "Let Free dom Ring" program. At noon to morrow in Bend, bells will toll over the Equitable chimes, and from the Catholic church. The "Let Freedom Ring" proj ect is being sponsored nationally by the Jaycees," to remind citi zens of their heritage and to in still in all the feeling that freedom Aug. 1 date sef for death of Jeannace MADRAS (UPI) Jeannace June Freeman, 22, was to be taken back to the State Peniten tiary in Salem today to await ex ecution Aug. 1 for throwing a 6-year-old boy to his death in the Crooked River Gorge two years ago. Apparently only intervention by Gov. Mark Hatfield could save Miss Freeman from becoming the first woman executed by the state of Oregon. She stood before Circuit Judge Robert H. Foley Tuesday after noon and heard him set the date just 29 days away. It was the third date set for her execution. The first was last Dec. 6. This was postponed untd Jan. 29 and then postponed again pending ap peals to the U S. Supreme Court. The high court twice refused to grant Miss Freeman a hearing. Testimony at her trial said she hurled Larry Jackson to his death in the deep gorge because he got in the way of Miss Freeman's re lationship with the boy's mother, Mrs. Gertrude Nunez Jackson, 32. Mrs. Jackson was convicted of throwing her daughter into the gorge at the same time, and is serving a life sentence. Miss Freeman's was the first execution scheduled in Oregon in the wake of legislative action to remove the death penalty from the state constitution. A vote on the proposed constitutional change will be held at the 19M general election. 1 FERSQNS KILLED MONTESANO, Wa?h.

The protest was filed at the State Department by Gcorgi Kor nienko, acting head of the Soviet Kennedy meets with top aides WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi dent Kennedy met with a group of top aides today in an effort to de termine whether Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev is really se rious about outlawing all nuclear tests except those conducted un derground. In announcing the White House meeting, press secretary Pierre Salinger said "The President con siders Mr. Khrushchev's speech a matter of importance." He re ferred to the East Berlin speech in which the Soviet leader offered to sign immediately an agreement banning atmospheric and under water explosions. But he linked the offer with a proposal that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO sign a non-aggression pact with its Communist counterpart, the War saw Pact Alliance. This caused Western diplomats to que:4ion whether he really was sincere. The President conferred about it for one hour today with Under secretary of Stale Averell Harri man.

They were picked up along with an other couple Tuesday night on charges that they conspired over the past six years to steal U.S. military secrets for the Kremlin. Kornienko called the arrest "unlawful" and said it "cannot Improve in any way American Soviet relations." Meanwhile, Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, commenting on th arrests, said that the Communists were stepping up their spy activi ties against the United States. The four were arrested Tues day night by FBI agents in New York's Queen County and in Washington in the second Soviet spy case in this country in two days. On Monday the State De partment ordered expulsion of So viet Embassy attache Gennadiy Sevastynov for espionage. A government official called the spy ring "a big one" and the FBI said it had ail the tradition al trappings secret messages left at "drop points," codes, ciphers and secret writings. Kennedy said today on a televi sion program that the two arrest ed in Washington were not Amer ican citizens but were "illegals." He appeared on NBC's Today's program.

Sales today were about 4 03 million shares compared with 3.54 million shares Tuesday. Cost estimate is $312 500; 3 new lots due By Gtann Cushman Bullttln Staff Wrltar Plans for an ambitious project aimed at providing 125 additional parking spaces in the downtown core area were revealed today by Bend Chamber of Commerce President Gordon Randall. The project, about a year, in the planning stages, will cost in the neighborhood of $312,500. It will involve three pieces of down town property now occupied. According to Randall, parking lots will be constructed at t h e corner of Wall and Oregon streets on property now owned by the Cashman family and two fami lies in California: on the corner of Bond and Oregon streets on property owned by Bud Stipe; and on what is now the Bancroft Hotel on Bond street on property owned by Floyd Burton. All property owners involved have given verbal agreement to selling their holdings. AsMstmanta Dust The plan as worked out by Chamber of Commerce and Bend City officials calls for the City to purchase all of the above three properties. Then property owners in the downtown area will be as ssed amounts in relation their proximity to the parking lots to pay for the new parking. There will be no cost to anyone outside the downtown core area, Randall said. Payment can be made in cash or through 20 year financing as provided by the Bancroft Act. Randall said that during the next few days fact sheets will be distributed by the Chamber to all downtown property owners ex plaining the project and estimated costs. Preliminary work on the park ing program was initiated about a year ago by the Retail Mer chants Committee headed by Ray LeRlanc. According to LeBIanc, We are trying to improve our downtown core area before it be comes too late, as it has in so many other cities." Eight City Blocks He said, "This will give us the equivalent of eight city blocks on one side of parking. We think it will not only provide better serv ice to our customers, but will guarantee that Bend will have no dying core area, with many emp ty buildings during the next 10 years." The proiect first came to pumic attention in April when the Cham ber and members of the City Commission held a meeting at City Hall. About 60 were invited and over 30 showed up. At that time, there was unani mous agreement mai me pro posed program was something long overdue In Bend, according to Randall, who presided. Since then, at least one of the merchants who would have to move as a result of the proposed construction has voiced strong op position to the parking program. Randall says," "We realize that we will be displacing some mer chants and that they will have to be relocated. It is our plan now to appoint a blue-ribbon committee from the Chamber, charged with helping these merchants find new locations at reasonable rents." It is also our intention to pur chase leases where necessary in order to help those being dis placed." he adds. P ans call tor a two level pars ing lot at Wall and Oregon and one level lots at the other two sites. The Stipe property borders on a parking lot already owned Baghdad says plot crushed BEIRUT. Lebanon 'UPI) Baghdad Radio today announced the crushing of a Communist plot to seize a military camp tn Iraq. The radio, in a broadcast heard here, announced a communique from the Iraqi Revolutionary Com mand saying tlte plot against the camp at Rashid this morning was put down tn half an hour. The broadcast gave no details of the action and did not mention what, if any, casualties war suf fered. by the City. The two will be com bined. Randall said that meters will probably be put on the parking lots and that revenue will be used . to help pay for the program: Type of meter will not be decided until a survey is completed detailing the meter most suited to custo mer use in those areas, he said. "We realize that not all down town property owners and mer chants are going to agree that additional parking is needed in Bend. But from our work so far. e know that most of the people involved think that Bend's core area had better get busy or sea gradual deterioration take place. This would be unhealthy for everyone concerned, especially the downtown property owners themselves," Randall said. N Schedule Yet No schedule for purchase of property or construction of park ing facilities has necn arrived at as yet. Randall said that this will ba worked out after further dis cussion with the property owners and merchants involved. The $312,500 figure is an esti mate and includes money to pur chase property, parking facilities and place meters on all three sites. Estimating was done by city officials and by rmalified appran env Randall said. . - At present there are about 420 parking places in the core area on meters. This includes 22 spots in the city-owned Bond Street parking lot and .198 on city streets. In addition to these spaces there are about 20 in the Equitable Sav ings and Loan parking lot- and about 30 in the First National Bank lot. Additional parking on the fringe of tho core area is avail able in the Elks parking lot and on City-owned lots next to the hos pital and behind City Hall. Railroads set new work rules July 1 1: WASHINGTON fUPO Th nation's railroads announced to day they will placo new work rules into effect at ona minute after midnight July U despita union warnings that such a move would trigger a national rail strike. J. E. Wolfe, chairman of tha railroads' negotiating committee, said union refusal to accept rec ommendations of a White Housa board has led to "a completa breakdown" in talks designed to end the dispute. President Kennedy on June 13 asked both sides to undertake in tensive efforts to settle the dis pute until July 10 without chang ing the rules or calling a walk out. The new rules would result in elimination of thousands of jobs and make sweeping changes In working conditions for 200.000 men who run about 95 per cent of the trains in this country. Tha railroads announcement came as Labor Secretary W. Wd- lard Wirtz called in Wolfe and heads of the five rail unions to make proposals looking toward a settlement. But Wirtz said no real prog ress had been made on key is sues including whether firemen are needed in diesel locomotives in freight and yard service. Wolfe said negotiations so far have been a "hollow mockery" of bargaining. But he told a news conference that today's announcement "does not preclude consideration of any eonitructive suggestions by tha President, the secretary of labor or any other interested party." He said the railroads have ac cepted recommendations from presidential boards but charged that the five unions have "ada mantly refused to make any realistic concessions." 'The refusal of the operating unions to accept any part of either set of presidential board recom mendations in tlte railroad feath erbedding dispute has caused a comDleu! breakdown in negotia- bans," be said.
