Plans,
Agreement
reached with
Dalles firm
PORTLAND (UPD- Settlement
of a strike against the J. H. 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.

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

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.

London judge
orders trial
for Ward
' LONDON (UPD A judge who
heard lurid testimony from play
girls and their male companions
today ordered society osteopath
Dr. Stephen Ward to stand trial
on charges of living on immoral
earnings in Britain's sex-and-security
scandal.
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.

Bend facing quiet July Fourth
By Phil F. 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

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.

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

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

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

Western diplomats to que:4ion
whether he really was sincere.

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.

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.
