Hi and Lo SERVING BEND AND CENTRAL OREGON 60th Year Twelve Pages Friday, July 5, 1963 Ten Cents No. 178 Holiday deaths may not hit predicted mark By Unitod Preu International The National Safety Council hoped today it could scrap its predictions ot a possible record for highway death over the In dependence Day weekend. Despite perfect driving con ditions and heavy holiday traffic in almost all sections of the coun try, the traffic fatality count was running behind expectations. Close to 200 persons had died since the start of the 102 hour weekend. But barring a deadly Counterfeit case yields new arrest OAKLAND, Calif. (UP1) - A bearded college laboratory techni cian is the latest person arrested in the smashup of what officers call the largest counterfeiting op eration in the history of the U.S. Secret Service. With the arrest Thursday of Eugene Allen, 36, of San Leandro. secret service agents and Oakland police vice squad officers reported they also seized another $200,000 in "near perfect" $20 and $50 bills. That raised the total amount confiscated to more than $1.4 mil lion in bogus bills. Allen joined two alleged accom plices in Oakland city jail. The two are Guy J. Smith, 39, 270 pound tavern owner, and Joseph Memoli, 40, who runs an Italian restaurant. A task force of 10 Oakland of ficers and five Secret Service agents Wednesday night grabbed Smith as he stepped from his car outside of Memoli's restaurant. They then battered their way in to the resataurant office to grab Memoli and hundreds of fake identity cards. They also confis cated $1.2 million in counterfeit money. . The officers said Alien led them to the counterfeiters' "mint," an inconspicuous house here. Allen is an electronics engineer by training and is employed by Alameda State College, he told po lice. A police spokesman said that two more men "who have long since departed" were also being sought in connection with the ring. Tom Hanson, head of the San Francisco Secret Service office, told his superiors in Washington that the money represented the largest cache ever seized in the United States. California pelr now home safe DELTA, Utah UPI A Califor nia doctor and his wife returned home by train today after their light plane made a crash-landing on a desert road 30 miles north 01 nere weanesaay evening. Dr. Ernest Bechler. Covina, said he and his wife were flying the 90-minute trip from Malad. Idaho, to Delta when his war surplus T6 airplane developed engine trouble. "The engine began to run rather rough and then the whole plane vibrated. I cut back on the power, then went through the routine of checking the fuel, oil and other instruments," he said. "Then when we couldn't gain altitude I looked for a place to land. The only visible area was the road. But when it was too late to turn back I saw fence posts beside the road," the neuro surgeon said. Dr. Beehler said the right wing caught on the steel posts, pulling the plane into the fence and off into the sagebrush. He said dam age to the craft was considerable. The plane sheared off 18 steel posts before stopping in the sage brush. "We were shaken and tossed around but fortunately didn't get hurt," he said. The couple was returning from a urological meet ing in Sun Valley, Idaho. Group sanctions big expenditure SPOKANE (UP! i The Wash ington Wheat Commission has auljioi ized expenditures totaling jlEm.nnn this fiscal year, including funds for research on the use of wheat as hog feed. Wayne Gentry, commission executive secretary, said today. The commission approved pay ment of tt.200 to the sw ine pro ducers association for develop ment of a swine testing station at Sunnyside, Wash. I spurt on the highways, it appeared , Ith" safety council s pre holiday I ! estimate of 550 to 650 traffic deaths by midnight Sunday would not be reached. It was even pos sible that the total would fall be low 500. The traffic death record for a summer holiday was set last Memorial Day weekend when 525 fatalities were counted. The high mark for an Independence Day weekend is 509. set in 1961. A United Press International count at 9:30 a.m. PDT showed 178 highway fatalities since 6 p.m. Wednesday. The breakdown: Traffic 178 Drownings 80 Planes 1 Fireworks 1 Miscellaneous 27 Total 287 California ran up the worst holi day death total with 21. Pennsyl vania had recorded 18 highway fatalities. There were 12 in both Indiana and New York state and 10 in both Ohio and Texas. A statistical analysis by the safety council of figures supplied by United Press International snowed that an estimated 50 per cent of the fatal traffic accidents involved driving too fast. For all of 1962: speeding involved 34 per I cent of fatal traffic accidents. About 20 per cent of the holi day's deaths resulted from driv ing on the wrong side of the highway, compared with 14 per cent during 1962, the safety coun cil said. Failure to yield the right of way accounted for about 11 per cent, slightly more than the 1962 percentage.

Conservative losses in by-elections at West Bromwich and Deptford Thursday were the lat est in a series of reverses that have brought opposition Labor cries for Macmillan to resign or call immediate general elections. The Labor party won both eon tests as expected Thursday, but the Conservatives made poor showings that reflected their sag ging prestige among the public, Labor, which has been out of office for 11 years, is confident of winning the next election. Mac millan is not compelled to call an election before October, 1964, and he is expected to hold off as long as possible in hopes of restoring Conservative prestige badly Hit the Prom scandal, The Profiimo sex - and - security scandal is only the latest blow against the Conservative position over the last 18 months. Macmil lan has been hit by Britain's fail ure to gain admission to the com mon market, by dissension over , Britain's nuclear policy, by wide spread unemployment, and by a series of security leaks. The Profumo scandal has been kept before the public by the pre trial vice hearing of Dr. Stephen Ward, a society osteopath and prostitution, Thefts reported from garages Two residents reported garage thefts that occurred Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Conrad Hofstcdt, 256 Delaware, told police someone stole from his garage a fishing tackle box con taining about $100 in assorted tack les, including a spin reel, spools and lines. Mrs. Keith Ramsey, Sr., Bear Creek Road, complained that the radio and cigarette lighter knobs and a red leatherette compartment lid were stolen from bcr car, park ed in her garage.

The President's sister-in-law, Joan, who is the wife of Sen. Ed ward (Ted) Kennedy, D-Mass.. was in a Hyannis hospital where she underwent surgical treatment of a throat abscess. The blessed event was big and happy news for the President, for the many Kennedys uncles, aunts and cousins assembled at the family's usual summer locale for the weekend. Kennedy's wife Jacqueline is expecting their third child late next month. The First Lady ar rived here Tuesday and was wait ing with five-year-old Caroline and two-year-old John Jr. to em brace the Chief Exenjtiva when 'Summit' meeting at Bonn ends BONN. Germany (UPI Chan-' pellnr KTnnraft Arlrmanar and! French President Charles de Gaulle apparently failed at a two day summit meeting that ended here today to settle their differ-1 ences over the future of Britain's relations with the Common Mar- j ket. I A joint communique issued at the close of the meeting this aft ernoon did not even mention the problem. Spokesmen for the French and 1 German delegations, pressed by reporters, would say only that the j Common Market question was discussed and would be consid-; ered again at a ministers meeting of the six-nation economic group ing in Brussels next week. The Germans had insisted the I question be considered at today's meeting. But the French, who had torpedoed Britain's bid to enter the Common Market, were un willing to agree here on any or ganized method of maintaining liaison between the market and Britain. French Foreign Ministry press chief Claude Lebel told question ers only that various ideas were discussed." The communique reiterated Thursday's failure by the French and German delegations to reach agreement on a common Euro pean grain price, by saying the whole subject would be the mat ter of a fresh export study. The two governments, however, did agree they should aim at common prices for beef, dairy products and rice by next spring. De Gaulle has been visiting West Germany in connection with the friendship treaty concluded by the two nations recently. His trip came shortly after President Ken nedy's visit to West Germany during which he hit out at some of De Gaulle s policies. 29 tourists now. on own expense NEW YORK (L'PP Twenty nine disgruntled California tour ists flew off to Europe Thursday at their own expense, having hcen stranded here for most of tne weeK in a oispuie wun a, travel agency.

That's why the pool was closed today. It may remain closed to morrow, too. City work crews were feverish ly working this morning to clean out the pool so that it may be re opened. John Cutter, city employe in charge of the swimming pool, pointed out that peat moss was lying all over the top of the water. "It was a real mess," he said.

Willard Wirtz met today with both sides in the rail road dispute to outline steps the government might take if an agreement is not reached by mid night next Wednesday in the strike-threatening situation. But as they went into the meet- ing. spokesmen for both the rail- roads and the unions indicated they had not budged from their long-held positions. J. E. Wolfe, chief negotiator for the railroads, said the carriers still plan If put into effect work rule changes after the deadline for the current talks ends at mid- niglit Wednesday. One of the union negotiators reiterated that the five railroad brotherhoods would strike if the rompanies put the work rule changes into effect. The labor secretary said Thurs day after a 30-minute Independ ence Day conference with Presi dent Kennedy that emergency companies put the work rule changes into effect. The labor secretary said Thurs day alter 30-minuu) Independ inn Mkwj M 1 begins tmmmmmimg whole scries of acts of vanda lism at the city pool. He said, "just about every other morn ing" workers have discovered ev idence of destruction. It happens at night." Among the objects found on or in the pool, have been chopped and scattered watermelons, and even a market grocery cart. This week also saw vandals tear down a rock wall by the pool barbecue. "These other acts of vanda lism have been bad enough," Cutter said, "but this is the first time we've had to contend with peat moss." City Recreation Director Vince Genna was fighting mad, this morning, too. He said, "This is really discouraging. This would have been a good day for swim ming. . . the temperature was up and everything. Genna cited no immediate ac tion to halt the vandalism, but did announce that the city may post guards at night "What can you do?" he said. ence Day conference with Presi dent Kennedy that emergency legislation may be requested from Congress to avert the strike if the opposing parties cannot find a solution themselves. As Wirtz put it whon asked whether Congress would be brought into the four-year-old dis pute: "That possibility is certain ly imminent. He declined to speculate on what action President Kennedy would request of Congress. But he acknowledged there has been talk of legislation permitting com pulsory arbitration, seizure of the railroads, or a combination of both. Wirtz described Uie situation as "deadly serious" and said a strike would "involve the shut ting down of our country" eco nomically. A nationwide strike would idle about 700,0110 rail workers and cause layoffs in other industries cut off from supplies. It would halt about 43 per cent of the na tion's freight shipments and 25 per cent of passenger service on 217,000 miles of rail lines. Bitterness marks start of session MOSCOW (UPI) Soviet and Chinese Communist leaders, lock ed in an all-out ideological battle for leadership of the Communist world, today held their first meet. ' ing in their showdown Moscow talks. The Chinese delegation got a chilly reception when it arrived In an atmosphere electrified with hostility by a last- minute ex change of bitter charges. The Chinese Communists and a high-level Soviet delegation went behind closed doors several hours later and met for an hour and 45 minutes. The first meeting was held in the modernistic "House of Recep tions" in the Lenin Hills section of Moscow, where it was under stood the Peking delegation will be staying during the negotia tions. Chief Soviet delegate Mikhail Suslov, the Kremlin's senior ideol ogist, had suggested to the Chi nese on their arrival that the first meeting be held late this aft ernoon, but there was no an nouncement where it would be held. Saturday Settlen Planned Newsmen, however, finally spotted the delegates arriving at the House of Receptions and clocked them out an hour and 45 minutes later. Tlw Chines negotiating team flew in by special plane from Pe king and was met at the airport by Suslov. But the Russian press ignored their arrival altogether. Neither the official radio, the Tass news agency or the government news paper Izvcstia, announced the ar rival. Izvestia's edition rolled off the' presses four hours after the Chi nese Communists arrived so there would have been sufficient time to publish news of their landing. : It was believed today's first Sino-Soviet meeting was devoted, largely to procedural and proto col matters and the delegates would get down to business Sat urday. Relations between the two Com- " munist giants were strained to' the breaking point just hours be fore the opening session of the showdown talks that will deter mine the course of international communism. Announced New Protest '. Red China announced a bitter new protest against the Soviet Union earlier in the day, and the Russians printed a front-page ed itorial in the Communist party newspaper declaring they would not back down in the discus sions. The negotiations were called originally to restore peace to the Communist world, but the flurry of last-minute vitriolic charges' and counter charges between Moscow and Peking cast strong doubt that any progress would be made. Western observers felt thers was a possibility of an historic split of the Communist camp. The New China News Agency,' monitored in Tokyo, said the Chi nese delegation left Peking ear lier in the day and flew via Si beria. Delay Departure The Chinese apparently delayed the departure of their delegation to the last possible moment. There had been some speculation they might cancel or postpone the talks, especially after a new attack on Peking's position Thurs day by the Soviet Communist party. The Russians followed up Thursday's attack with a front page editorial In today's edition of Die party newspaper Pravda, declaring the Soviet delegation would hold "unswervingly" to the Kremlin's interpretation of Marxism-Leninism.
