Weather ideal for show
By II Grant Hopper
Bulletin Staff Writer
Bend's 1963 Water Pageant had
a smooth - running opening night
Friday in Drake Park. A timely
arrival of ideal weather was a fa
vorable factor, and as the flotilla
of colorful floats moved through
the lighted arch, the air was calm,
skies were clear, and the temp
erature was comfortable.
The show will be repeated at
dusk, shortly after 9 o'clock, to
night and Sunday, preceded by
pre-Pageant entertainment. The
Al Kader Shrine Band from Port
land will play tonight; the Bend
Municipal Band Sunday night.
Fair weather predicted through
Sunday in the Bend area, with
high today, 89 94; low tonight,
45-50.

Minor shock
hits as Tito
visits Skopje
SKOPJE. Yugoslavia (UPI)-A
"minor tremor" rocked the cen
ter of earthquake-stricken Skopje
today just as President Josip
Broz Tito began an Inspection
tour.
Yugoslav newsmen near Tito
reported the tremor wobbled the
earth a few seconds after the
grim-faced leader stepped into
the once proud, now ruined main
square that bears his name.
The old soldier did not flinch,
the reports said.
Tito, they said, walked on. In
tent on watching rescue crews
recovering bodies and searching
for the many persons still
trapped.
The official news agency Tan
jug said "official information re
ceived by the government com
mittee coordinating the r e s c u e
work placed the number of
bodies found as of 8 a.m. (3 a.m.
EDT) at 600."
Thousands May Be Dead
Unofficial .estimates said an
other 1,500 bodies are expected to
be found. The Injured total from
Friday's disastrous earthquake
probably will run into the thou
sands, the reports said.
Unofficial reports said this
morning's tremor was "minor"
and "mild." It did little more
than cause rescue workers to
look up from their shovels and
picks and then return to their
work, the reports said.
The reports said Tito, who led
a guerrilla rebellion during World
War II and turned the country
into a Communist but independ
ent nation after the war, re
ceived an almost tumultuous wel
come from the survivors in the
stricken city of 200,000.
Skopje once had served as
something of a model of what
Tito's brand of national commu
nism would do. Today he stepped
through the debris-filled streets
and passed the crumbled walls
of earthquake-shattered apart
ment houses and government
buildings.
Inspected Hospitals
Tito inspected the makeshift
hospitals in the once green parks
near the city's riverbanks. He
talked to soldiers and civilian
volunteers. ,
The 70-year-old leader appeared
deeply moved by what he saw
and what he heard.
Tanjug said he flew to the air
port outside the city, and then
drove to the outskirts. His attrac
tive wife Jovanka remained at
home. Tito left his car on the
edge of the smashed downtown
section.
Only military and rescue vehi
cles were allowed into the rup
tured heart of Skopje. Tito
walked through the side streets
and almost all the main arteries
of Skopje. Stepping over and
around rocks and hunks of con
crete, he entered the square.
Then, the reports said, the
tremor greeted him.
Unofficial reports have said as
many as 15,000 may have died.
Many thousands were injured.
Authorities said about 80 per
cent of the buildings in the city,
which lies in a rugged mountain
valley, were destroyed when the
earthquakes struck at 5:15 a.m.,
Friday.
Tito was accompanied by Vice
President Aleksandar Rankovic
and Federal Assembly President
Edvard Kardelj, according to the
official Yugoslav news agency
Tanjug.
Watehe Rescue Teams
He saw rescue teams searchtig
for victims among Skopje's many
new buildings. Tito had done ex
tensive building in Skopje, blend
ing ancient and modern in a pat
tern combining 20th century vigor
with old-world charm.

Laughter stilled
Pall of death hangs
over stricken city
By Stoyan Bralovic
UPI Staff Writer
SKOPJE, Yugoslavia (UPI)
The survivors, bewildered and
still numb, talk today of nothing
but the dead.
Men with unshaven faces, wom
en with haunted eyes and chil
dren with their laughter stilled,
swap guesses on how many of
their friends and neighbors were
killed.
They talk in big numbers. Some
say thousands of this city's 200,-
000 residents perished among the
uncountable tons of rock, con
crete and steel sent tumbling by
the tremor.
No one really wants to talk
about individuals. Too many men
and women lost their families,
too many children lost playmates.
Back in the city, through hot
streets carpeted with rubble,
frenzied mothers, fathers and
children dash from ruin to ruin,
hoping and looking.
Look For Relatives
They crowd around soldiers
digging into the ruins. The on
lookers lean forward as a body is
pulled out from under piles of
cement and steel. They move
closer to look at the face.
Mostly then, they step back m
relief. The body is not father,
mother, son, daughter or aunt,
uncle or grandparent. But some
times there is the awful scream
of recognition.
The biggest crowds cluster
about the biggest ruins The rub
ble of the five story apartment
house on the banks of the river,
the rubble of the Macedonia Ho
tel where porters and maids per
ished as well as scores of foreign
guests, and the junk heap of
what once was the big coopera
tive development in Ribara
Street.
In the fields on the outskirts of
town, volunteers watch young
children. Soldiers pass out milk
to the children for whom no par
ent can be found.

to the show's professional polish.
The assymetrical arch, alternate

nation, provided continuous varie
ty throughout the presentation.
With a fairytale theme, "The
Enchanted Forest," the Pageant
had particular appeal. The voice
of Bill Bowers, as story teller,
gave dramatic emphais, as a
legend appropriate for each float
thrilled the children and rang
bells in the memories of the
adults.
The prologue featured another

One of the boys sat and played
with the one toy he salvaged
in the seconds before the family
escaped from their falling house.
The mother wore no shoes.
None had stockings. Their clothes
were meager. Still she smiled.
"We lived," she said.
Her husband came up with a
bottle of milk from an army
emergency truck. His children
drank and he tore apart a loaf
of dark bread for them.
The father had an arm injury.
He kissed his wife and trotted
back into the ruins.
"He is going to grandmother's
house," his wife said. "It is all
gone, and we can't find grand
mother. The children often stayed
with her.
"But they were with us when
the earthquake came. They
lived."
Nil

PORTLAND (UPI)-State Labor
Commissioner Norman Nilsen
ruled Friday that he has jurisdic
tion to hear a civil rights com
plaint against the city of Port
land. Nilsen denied a motion by the
city to dismiss a petition asking
for a hearing, which was filed last
week by Portland Negroes Sam
uel Macon and Nathan Jones.
Two other motions by the city,
one to strike out certain points
of the complaint and the other
calling for a finding of fact be
fore the hearing, will be taken up
next Tuesday, Nilsen said.
The hearing is scheduled Aug. 1
in the State Office Building here.
Macon and Jones claimed they
were discriminated against in ap
plying for jobs with the city's
parks department as recreation
workers.
Macon later was offered a job.
However, Macon's attorney said
his client would not accept it until
second class employment restric
tions against him were lifted.

SERVING BEND AND
Saturday,
Big crowd
on hand for
Pet Parade
Floats, costumed marching
units, decorated bicycles, pranc
ing horses there was the whole
bit, for the annual Water Pageant
Pet Parade this morning. The
streets were lined with spectators,
as the parade started moving
from the old Troy Laundry lot.
The weather was perfect, with
bright sunshine and clear skies.
Among the colorful units was
the Al Kader Shrine band, from
Portland, the musicians dazzling
in red satin oriental style trou
sers, green jackets with multi-col
or adornments and yellow sashes.
Near the front of the line, two
units of Strutting Honkers, accom
plished young twirlers from Lake
view, kept the beat. The older
girls wore short red tunics, fring
ed in white: the younger ones, red
and white checked outfits. All had
white "ten-gallon" hats and white
parade boots.
The Junction City Vikings, with
their colorful ship and terrifying
make-up, clowned along the route
kidnapping spectators and adding
to the excitement.
There was a section of well-polished
antique cars. There was a
contingent of mounted cowboys
and cowgirls, their steeds groom
ed to the teeth. There were all
manner of dressed-up pets, the
does and cats apparently forget
ting their differences in the cause
of frivolity.
Among the floats was a truck-
load of Allen Playground children,
depicting "Snow White and the 77
Dwarfs." There was a company
of 13 E. 12th Street youngsters as
seductive sirens and meek ladies-in-waiting,
from the set of "Cae

Rail union
leader offers
rules plan
WASHINGTON (UPI) Fire
men's Union President H. E. Gil
bert urged today that Congress
put railroad rules negotiations in
"a goldfish bowl" under its di
rection to get a strikefree settle
ment. Gilbert told a special Saturday
session of the Senate Commerce
Committee that such action would
give a "shot in the arm" to the
four-year-old rail dispute.
The union leader opposed Pres
ident Kennedy's proposal, under
consideration by the committee,
to turn the dispute over to the
Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. Gilbert said Kennedy's plan
amounts to compulsory arbitra
tion, even if supporters may re
gard it as "just a little bit" of
compulsory arbitration.
Instead, Gilbert proposed that
bargaining sessions proceed be
tween railroad management and
the five rail brotherhoods under
"congressional direction and ob
servation." ,
He said that Congress might
assign a joint committee to ride
herd on the session and make pe
riodic reports on the attitudes of
the parties "and their conduct of
good faith."
Gilbert said in an Interview
with United Press International
that the idea would be to place
negotiations in a "goldfish bowl."
Gilbert's basic complaint
against the President's strike set
tlement proposal was that it
would be "the hole in the dike"
for compulsory arbitration.
As to the single issue which
vitally concerns his union the
work rule which would remove
an estimated 32,500 firemen from
the cabs of diesel locomotives,
Gilbert said the union does not
contend that no firemen posts on
diesels can be abandoned. He
said the union, in a letter to La
bor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz,
has recently underscored its wil
lingness to approve a formula
which would eliminate 5,500 jobs.

JFK hails test pact
victory for mankind'
Treaty hailed
on both sides
of Curtain
LONDON (UPI) Governments
on both sides of the Iron Curtain
hailed the nuclear test ban treaty
today, but from Communist China
came an implied warning that it
also will have an atom bomb "in
the not too distant future."
President Charles de Gaulle of
France, expected to ignore the
treaty and continue testing, was
attacked In the French press Fri
day as an isolationist and a
"cold war extremist." He was
urged to join the United States,
Britain and Russia in the treaty.
As in the West, most countries
in the Communist bloc praised
the treaty as a possible step to
ward instituting Soviet Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev's policy of
"peaceful coexistence and end
ing the cold war. But they were
more inclined to urge a non-aggression
pact between the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) and the Warsaw pact.
This is a move Moscow has ad
vocated but that the West has re
sisted so far from fear such an
agreement would be regarded as
a Western ratification of Russia's
domination of the "captive na
tions" of Eastern Europe.
In Budapest, the Hungarian ra
dio commented on the nuclear
treaty by claiming that "the So
viet peace offensive forced the
West to agree to a settlement of
this important question."
Radio Warsaw called it a tri
umph for President Kennedy
"who can tell American electors
that his government was able to
reach an agreement which will
diminish the danger of war break
ing out."
The Czech news agency Ceteka
said the treaty opened "a new
page in the history of relations
between East and West." The
Communist press in Yugoslavia
called it "the first link in a pos
sible chain of new agreements.
In London, Prime Minister Ha
rold Macmillan's voice trem
bled as he read to Parliament
that part of the treaty preamble
which said it might help "put an
end to the arms race."

Vigness death
probe underway
DAGMAR, Mont. (UPI) i- An
investigation continued today Into
the death of a Nielsville, Minn.,
man, whose body was found Fri
day about 100 feet from the
North Dakota border.
Authorities said Leo Vigness, 24,
had died of a gunshot wound in
an apparent suicide. They earlier
said he was from Bend, Ore., but
upon further investigation found
that Vigness had worked in Bend
and was on his way home.
Nielsville is in Polk County near
the North Dakota state line.
According to the Bend city di

Pastore eyes
period of grace
on integration
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
acting chairman of the Senate
Commerce Committee said today
he would consider a clause pro
viding for a grace period of vol
untary local action to Integrate
public facilities in the proposed
public accommodations bill.
Chairman John O. Pastore, D-
R.I., said he favored prompt en
actment of the public accommo
dations bill which would ban dis
crimination by businesses en
gaged in interstate commerce.
However, Pastore said he
would give "serious thought" to
a suggested clause to permit
communities to notify the attor
ney general that they are trying
to work out their Integration
problems. During this time, he
indicated, the proposed public ac
commodations law would not be
in effect.
The clause was offered by
Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. of Atlanta
who recommended that the gov
ernment give large cities 12 to
24 months to desegregate volun
tarily. Referring to his own city, Allen
told the committee Friday Atlan
ta had made a start toward Inte
gration. But, he said. Congress
should enact a public accommo
dations bill so Southern commu
nities which have started Integra
tion efforts will not be allowed
"to lapse back into previous seg
regation practices.
"Failure by Congress to take
definite action at this time," the
Georgian said, "is by Inference
an endorsement of the right of
private business to practice ra
cial discrimination and, in my
opinion, would start the same old
round of squabbles and demon
strations that we have had in the
past."

HYANNIS PORT, Mass.
(UPI) President Kennedy's
televised report to the nation on
the limited nuclear test ban
treaty already has touched off
a "very heavy" flow of public
support, the White House said
today. ,
HYANNIS PORT, Mass. (UPI)
President; Kennedy awaited a
report here today from Under
Secretary of State W. Averell
Harriman on what further cold
war thaws the world can expect
as a result of the nuclear test
ban treaty Initialed in Moscow.
Harriman, chief U.S. negotiator
at the big 3 talks in Moscow, was
scheduled to arrive here from
Moscow for a 3:30 p.m. EDT
meeting with Kennedy at the
President's Squaw Island home.
Secretary , of State Dean Rusk
planned to fly here from Wash
ington for the same session.
In a television-radio address to
the nation Friday night, Kennedy
hailed the Soviet-British-U.S.
agreement to bar nuclear
tests in the atmosphere, space.
and under water, as a "victory
for mankind" and a "step away
from war."
Kennedy said "no one can pre
dict with certainty . . . what
further agreements, If any, can
be built on the foundations of
this one."
But he said "the Important
point is that efforts to seek new
agreements will go forward."
Meets With Khrushchev
Harriman met with Soviet Pre

assumed that this look into the
future, rather than the past, waa
uppermost in Kennedy's mind in
scheduling today s visit.
One harrowing element of the
future, as Kennedy made clear in
his appeal to the American public
for support of the treaty, is the
debate which will precede a Sen
ate vote on ratification of the par
tial test ban pact.
There is significant opposition
to it, including that of Sen. Barry
Goldwater, R-Ariz., and Kennedy
seemed to be trying to answer
every critical question that might
be raised. One key point, in terms
of the Senate debate, that he tried
to make:
"We have, and under this
treaty we will continue to ha"e,
all the nuclear strength that we
need... and our security is not
therefore. Impaired, by the treaty
I am discussing."
The President made painstak
ing efforts to boom values of the
treaty even pointing up that the
United States could detect Soviet
tests "hundreds and thousands
and millions of miles away from
the earth."
Kennedy's aides were In a high
state of satisfaction at the Presi
dent's television appearance, con
sidering it a warm appeal to thi
nation to back what he called a
first step to "get back from the
shadows of war and seek out the
way of peace."
The President had some relief
in sight from the pressures of
world politics and war-or-peace:
