Sleepy calm
surrounds
Inn today
By lla Grant Hopper
Bulletin Staff Writer
The Pilot Butte Inn, sold yes
terday at public auction, was
operating today "as usual
staffed mostly by members of the
Corbett family. There was an air
of sleepy calm, contrasting with
the mid-day excitement yester
day. After the sale attorneys for
tnc purchaser obtained police help
to post a notice disclaiming re
sponsibility to pay wages to the
present employes.
Yesterday Martin R. Byrne,
Seattle, successful and only ser
ious bidder for the historic hotel.
filed in U.S. district court in Port
land a complaint which seeks to
settle all future claims to the
property.
Papers were filed shortly after
.Byrne bought the inn for $50,000,
to be applied as credit against a
lien in California federal district
court, and assumed a $132,442
federal tax hen against the prop
erty. Named defendants were Mr.
and Mrs. Jack Corbett, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank William Corbett, Mr.
and Mrs. Harold T. Corbett, Mr.
and Mrs. Bill Corbett; six cor
porations, one of which was a
holding company for the inn; 18
John Does and "all others" claim
ing any right to the hotel.
The defendants include two
Oregon attorneys. They are
Charles Boardman, Bend, and
John C. Veatch II, Portland, both
named "individually and as trus
tee." The complaint asked the court
to issue a decree which makes
Byrne and Clark A. Barrett own
ers of the property. Barrett, a
San Francisco attorney who was
present at the sale, is trustee in
backruptcy for Frank William
Corbett, a son of the founder of
numerous Corbett enterprises.
The hotel was purchased on be
half of Byrne by Edward J.
Bloom, Palm Springs attorney,
to satisfy the federal judgment.
The sale was by order of Federal
Judge William G. East.
The Pilot Butte Inn has a "ho
tel" ancestry dating back to the
early years of the century, when
freight teams moved past a pio
neer structure, over a dusty road.
Its modern start was in 1917,
when the first unit of the inn
was formally opened at a state
wide party. The late Philip R.
Brooks was the original owner.
Some 3o years ago, a new
wing was added to the inn, on the
Bond Street side. At that time,
the original Pilot Butte Hotel of
pioneer days was moved to a new
location.
Through the years, the inn has
been host to many world notables,
including President Herbert Hoov
er and the late Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt. In recent years, many
well-known movie and television
figures made their headquarters
there while filming pictures in the
Deschutes country.
In past years, furnishings of
the hotel included a number of
valuable antiques, and the walls
were hung with numerous origin
al oil paintings by European art
ists. The only one of the large
paintings in evidence this morn
ing was a gargantuan oil some
10 feet square, depicting a cave
man type character holding a
club, with female consorts.
The bar remained closed at the
regular opening time yesterday.
An inquiry at the desk this morn
ing brought the information that
it would probably be open today,
"around 4 o'clock."
A former hotel employe ex
pressed in conversation yesterday
the hope that the new owners of
the hotel would not change its
characteristic decor, or alter the
traditional rustic alpine architec
tural details.
"Guests expect the inn to re
main as it has been for many
years." was the comment.
"Guests who honeymooned there
often visit on sentimental jour
neys, to celebrate important an
niversaries." Merchants'
'Crazy Days'
now underway
Bend merchants launched their
annual "Crazy Days" program
this morning, and crowds down
town prior to noon indicated that
it would prove to be the tops of
similar events sponsored by the
Bend Chamber of Commerce re
tail merchants' committee.
Most of the early selling was on
sidewalks, to the amazement of
tourists who inquired whether
similar merchandising was
dailv event.
Entire staffs of participating
stores entered into the "Zaney
Daze" spirit. So intense was side
walk buying that traffic was de
toured at times.

Administration
adopts wait
and see view
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
Kennedy administration adopted a
Tvait and see approach today
before renewing its efforts to set
tle the strike-threatening railroad
rules dispute.
Authoritative sources said Pres
ident Kennedy had not decided on
what legislation to seek from
Congress if there is no agree
ment by July 22, when he has
promised to submit his recommen
dations. Administration officials believe
chances are slight that the four-year-old
controversy over the rail
roads' proposed work rule changes
will be settled without legislation.
But they said a six-man panel
named by the President to investi
gate the dispute might help to
shape the issues for Congress and
the public. The committee's report
to the President also might tend
to put pressure on both sides to
change their position before the
document is sent to Congress, the
officials said.
Meets Second Time
The special fact-finding commit
tee was scheduled to meet for
the second time today and con
tinue preparations for making its
report.
A labor spokesman said that
AFL-CIO president George Meany,
a member of the presidential pan
el, would try to see if there was
any chance he could settle the dis
pute and avoid emergency con
gressional action.
Meany's mediation role became
known as Republican leaders
served notice that Congress would
not be "stampeded" into action to
prevent a strike when the tem
porary truce ends July 29.
An AFL-CIO spokesman said
Meany was unhappy at the pros
pect of a strike, special legisla
tion to deal with a walkout, or the
loss of jobs the railway unions
face if new work rules go into
effect
On Hit Own
The spokesman said Meany's
mediation efforts would be con
ducted outside the presidential
committee. Meany was said to be
lieve the panel must serve pure
ly as a fact-finding agency for
the President, not as a negotiation
team.
The President postponed a re
quest for legislation because Dem
ocratic leaders in Congress con
vinced him it would have a better
chance in another 10 days, in
formed sources said.

Martial law was declared and
fully armed National Guard
troops were ordered back into
racially torn Cambridge, Md. to
day following a wild night of
rioting in which six white men
were shot.
Gov. J. Millard Tawes issued
the order sending about 400
troops into the Chesapeake Bay
fishing town.
Col. Maurice Tawes, second in
command of the guardsmen,
said the troops would enforce a
strict 9 p m. curfew. All business
establishments were ordered to
close at 7 p.m.

or mechanical error caused the
accident.
Exactly how the two men were
killed and the others injured was
not disclosed by Air Force offi
cials. They said, however, there
was no explosion when the rock
ets hit the protective bunker, 200
square feet of solid reinforced
concrete six feet high. The bunk
er was used to house personnel
judging the pilots' performances.
The plane, an F-100 supersonic
jet used to support ground troops,
was strafing an isolated area
with 50-caliber machine gun fire
when the pilot fired all four of
his rockets at a simulated target.
They added that the rockets were
"inert," carrying dummy war
heads. The two officers killed were
identified as:
Lt. Col. Sherman R. Smith, 42,
of the Air Force Air-Ground Op
erations School here. His home
address was listed as Rt. One,

Sino-Soviet
split wide as
ever - report
MOSCOW (UPI) The top-
secret Sino-Soviet talks on Com
munist policies entered their sec
ond week today with the split
over war-or-peace with the West
apparently as wide as ever.
The negotiations resumed this
morning following a one-day re
cessthe second this week. Com
munist sources said the breaks
were to enable the Red Chinese
to get fresh instructions from
Peking.
Though the top-level Chinese
delegation has been in Moscow
since last Friday, there has been
no official announcement or press
report on how the talks are go
ing. Movements of the negotia
tors are not publicized.
Bitter exchanges between Mos
cow and Peking outside the con
ference room have indicated that
the secret talks have not nar
rowed the ideological and politi
cal differences that have pushed
the world's two Communist gi
ants to the brink of a break.
The Communist party newspa
per Pravda today published ex
pressions of solidarity between
Moscow and Romania, Hungary
and Mongolia.
Some informed observers be
lieved the disagreements are so
deep that both sides are ready
to admit the negotiations are fu
tile, but are searching for a face
saving device to end the talks
formally.
The Russians take the position
that communism will "bury"
Western capitalism through
peaceful competition and without
resort to war In a nuclear age.
The Chinese Reds insist on armed
rebellion to spread communism,
and reject any friendly relations
with the West.

Governor
declares
martial law
CAMBRIDGE. Md. (UPI)
Maryland Gov. J. Millard Tawes
reimposed limited martial law
and sent National Guard troops
back to Cambridge today to keep
order in the fishing town, torn
by racial strife.
The edict, announced by the
guard on orders by the governor,
imposes a strict curfew of 9 p.m.
and bans demonstrations by Ne
groes of the type that touched off
battles in the streets Thursday
night. Six white men were
wounded none critically to
shooting melees.
National Guard Col. Maurice
Tawes, a distant relative of the
governor and second in com
mand of the mobilized guards
men, announced Imposition of
limited martial law for the sec
ond time in less than a month.
Partial Martial Law
Under Maryland's Constitution.
the state cannot impose full mar
tial law but it can use virtually
the same powers. The main dif
ference between martial law and
the limited form used in Cam
bridge is that civilians are not
liable to military justice.
An uneasy calm existed this
morning after a harrowing 10
hours or more of shooting and
fist fiehts.
Following a nloht erf nudnl waiv
fare in the streets of Cambrids
I during which six white men were
1 shot. Tawes called Brio. Geo.
George Gelston, deputy state ad
jutant general, and state police
heads to his office at Annapolis.
Three of the men shot during
the running gun battle were
Guardsmen under Gelston's com
mand.
More than 400 Guardsmen had
been released from a five-hour
standby alert around midnight
when the shooting began.
For several hours, white men
raced through the Negro section
in cars, exchanging gunfire with
enraged Negroes armed with ri
fles, shotguns, pistols, bricks, bot
tles and knives. There were no
casualties during this stage of the
battle, but five white youths were
arrested.
Police Stand Guard .
Helmeted police with dogs and
tear gas stood guard at road
blocks surrounding the area, a
shambles of broken glass and
bullet-pocked buildings, at dawn.
But police feared they could
not maintain order. They asked
Gelston to plead with Tawes for
enough National Guardsmen to
seal off this Eastern Shore fish
ing community and place It un
der martial law.
The three uniformed Guards
men were snot while driving
home in a civilian car on a street
near the Negro section. The driv
er, Pfc. Leon D. Buckle of Rldge
Iy, was hospitalized with bullet
and shotgun pellet wounds in the
neck and side. Treated and re
leased were Ernest Russell of
Benfer, whose forehead was
grazed, and Robert W. Fox of
Ridgely, who was struck in the
hand.
Civilians Wounded
Earlier, three white men.
neighbors on a street facing the
Negro section, were wounded by
shotgun blasts from across the
street as they sat on a porch.
They were Frank Tavolario, 28,
a pipefitter, who was struck in
the arm; John Busts, 30, a truck
driver, hit in the face, and Rob
ert Harper, wounded in the side. -
They were treated at a Cam
bridge hospital.
Police questioned eight Negroes
about the shooting and took fin
gerprints from a shotgun they
had seized.
The gunfire climaxed a day of
anti-segregation demonstrations In
which six integrationists were
beaten by whites during an at
tempted lunch-counter sit-in, and
an evening protest march to the
Cambridge Courthouse In defi
ance of National Guard pleas for
a halt.
