Nationalized
rails feared
by lawmaker
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
- Democratic congressman charged
today that President Kennedy s
plan Cor settling the rails dispute
eventually would mean nationali
zation of the nation's railroads.
"To me, this is only the start,"
said Rep. Harley Staggers of West
Virginia, a member of the House
Commerce Committee. The group
, is considering Kennedy's plan to
let the Interstate Commerce Com
mission (ICC) settle the thorny
work rules issue which is the core
of the dispute.
A Republican committee mem
ber joined Staggers in denounc
ing the President's proposal. Rep.
John Bennett, Mich., said if Con
gress enacted the legislation "we'd
be doing a great disservice to the
future of free collective bargain
ing." Bennett voiced doubt that all
avenues of collective bargaining
had been exhausted in the dis
pute a point also advanced by
the rail unions.
Compulsory Arbitration
Staggers said Kennedy's plan
amounted to compulsory arbitra
tion and would lead to further
steps in the seme direction.
"Then you are going to nation
alize the industry as they did in
England," he declared.
The statements by Bennett and
Staggers were the first clear-cut
expression of committee members
since hearings on the proposal
began last Wednesday.
Earlier, a top raU negotiator
asked Congress to stay out of the
rail dispute for the time being on
grounds that recent collective bar
gaining had been fruitful.
Labor Secretary W. Willard
Wirtz was reported to hold the
opposite view.
H. E. Gilbert, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen, said recent
discussions between management
and labor bore out his contention
that both parties could and should
settle the four-year-old controver
sy without special legislation.
"Light of Dawn"
' "The sky is not entirely black
' and I think I can see the light of
the dawn a turn for the better
in our negotiations," Gilbert told
the House Commerce Committee.
Gilbert, like the presidents of
the other four operating brother
hoods, is vehemently opposed to
the administration plan.
He said the legislation would
constitute compulsory arbitration,
even though Kennedy and Wirtz
maintain that it would not.
He told Congress that if it pass
es the President's resolution, it
would mean the beginning and
not the end of congressional in
volvement in labor negotiations.
Finally, Gilbert said, the ICC,
because of its background, was
not equipped to handle the labor
dispute.
Gilbert echoed the brotherhoods'
recently-developed argument that
energetic government mediation
something they claim has been
lacking during most of the nego
tiations could spur settlement.
He suggested to the committee
that it accept the plan proposed
"J by AF CIO . President George
Meany. It would provide for con
tinued collective bargaining under
the eye of a congressional watch
dog committee.
Gilbert's statement that recent
talks were fruitful did not jibe with
the feelings of Wirtz.
Redmond coolest
reporting place
on Monday night
Central Oregon's continued cool
weather, especially the night
temperatures, made national
news today.
A news story under a New York
dateline received over the United
Press International wire noted:
"The lowest temperature re
ported this morning to the U.S.
Weather Bureau, excluding Alas
ka and Hawaii, was 36 at Red
mond. Ore. The highest Monday
was 111 at Needles, Calif."
Bend recorded a cool low of 40
degrees at the local weather sta
tion, but there were some reports
of frost in the area.
Forecasts call for continued
fair weather in Central Oregon
through Wednesday, with temp
eratures expected to drop again
tonight to the 38-42 degree brack
et. No moisture is in sight.

'Big push'
nearing end
in woods
The "big push" 3s nearing an
end in the Deschutes woods, and
soon there will be action on a new
front.
Newport Industries people, who
have purchased a huge volume of
old pine stumps from the U.S.
Forest Service, are in charge of
the push the uprooting of
stumps, some of which will be
shipped to Pensacola, Fla., for
tests of the resins which may be
used for ship's stores.
A crew under the supervision
of Jim Boatman and Don Brown
of the Newport Industries today
was nearing the end of its push
ing operations locally, with work
underway today in the Finley
Butte area.
From the Finley Butte country,
the crew will go to the Fremont
woods, for a new "push" in the
Quartz Mountain area, about ten
miles east of Bly.
40-Aere 'Push'
Earlier, the crew "pushed" on a
40-acre area near Coyote Springs
southwest of Bend. Then followed
40-acre "push" in the Bessie
Butte country, where the work
was completed Monday.
The stump harvest operation
gets its name from the fact that
the old stumps are "pushed" from
the ground, through use of tractor
equipment. The work has been
found to be unexpectedly easy
in the Deschutes woods, due, in
part, to the pumice soil.
Also, it was found that the resin
content of the old stumps and
their root systems in the area
near the eastern edge of the Des
chutes forest is high. It was fear
ed that stumps in the arid east
ern fringe of the forest might be
deficient in resins.
At the conclusion of the "big
push." some of the resin-filled
wood will be shipped to Pensacola
for the chemical test. From 60 to
70 tons will be shipped from the
Deschutes - Fremont woods at
present

three Senate committees on the
test ban treaty.
As far as the senators could tell
so far, Mansfield said, there are
"no gimmicks, no side issues"
tied to the treaty. Senate ratifi
cation by a two-thirds vote is
needed before U.S. participation
In the three-power agreement can
become final.
While Mansfield indicated Har
riman's explanation of the treaty
was impressive, a good many sen
ators still were withholding a fi
nal commitment on whether they
would vote for ratification. They
Tuesday,
"It places the issue imperative
ly at the forefront of discussions"
he said.
Tsarpakin said there is "no
reason why this solemn pact of
peace should not be easily con
cluded in the "present favorable
atmosphere." He then went on to
list other issues which could be
discussed.
Earlier the United States
pledged to carry forward the
momentum achieved in recent
East -West agreements and to
seek further understandings.
American disarmament negoti
ator Charles C. Stelle said the
three-power limited test ban
agreement means "a shaft of
light has cut into the darkness.
'The sun has not yet risen, but
the shaft of light is there," he
said. "It is not as wide as might
be wished, but it is as bright as
man's hopes will make it."
But although expressmg optim
ism that further agreements
can be achieved, Stelle cautioned
the conference agaiast over-esti
mating the merits of the limited
test ban and stressed the Soviets
still oppose the on-site inspec
tions needed to control a compre
hensive ban.
Bilateral Talks Hoped
Bilateral talks between Steele
and Tsarapkin, away from the
spotlight of the conference floor,
were looked upon as the major
hope for further progress.
The sole agreement of the con
ference, reached shortly before
the recess, was brought about in
such private talks.
This was the hot line ar
rangement linking Moscow and
Washington by teletype to pre
vent misunderstandings in times
of crisis. The link will be installed
by September.
But no further progress is ex
pected here until after the big
three foreign ministers sign the
test ban treaty in Moscow in the
next week or 10 days.
Strong bi-partisan
'excellent' for treaty approval
wanted to get a better sampling
of the opinions of the folks back
home.
Briefings given by Harriman
and other administration spokes
men Monday to congressional
committees Indicated broad sup
port for the pact in the House as
well as the Senate, Mansfield
said, and he was more optimistic
than many other senators that
ratification would come fairly
fast.

Judge gives
jury charge
in Ward case
LONDON (UPI) Justice Sir
Archie Marshall today told the
jury considering morals charges
against Dr. Stephen Ward that
the impression had gone around
the world Britain was "a sink of
inquity.'
"We are now reaching the last
stages of a trial that probably
has achieved greater notoriety
than any trial in recent years,"
he said in his charge to the jury
after the prosecution had con
cluded its summation.
The judge's charge was a long
one and he said he hoped to give
the case to the jury sometime
Wednesday.
'There have been, as we all
know, repercussions arising out of
what we have to investigate here
which have widely spread their
tentacles across the public life
of this country and have aroused
great interest in foreign countries
as well."
This was an obvious reference
to the resignation in disgrace of
War Minister John Profumo be
cause he lied to the House of
Commons when he denied miscon
duct with Christine Keeler, 21,
one of Ward's pretty young pro
tegees. Ward, 50, society osteopath and
artist, is accused of living off
immoral earnings and of procur
ing young girls for men in high
places.
Prosecutor Mervyn . Griffith-
Jones charged in his summation
today that Dr. Ward Introduced
Miss Keeler and her friend-in-
fun, Marilyn Rice-Davis, 18, to
Viscount Astor and Douglas Fair
banks Jr. as part of his plan for
augmenting his income.
Both men have denied any in
timacy with the girls who were,
according to the prosecution, pen
niless, promiscuous night club
dancers when Ward set them up
in a flat to which he brought his
middle-aged wealthy friends.
We have come from the very
depths of lechery and depravity
in this case, the prosecutor said.
'Prostitution, promiscuity, perver
sion, getting gins to go out ana
get money by giving their bodies
for it, two-way mirrors, practical
ly the whole gamut."
The case was to go to the jury
following completion of prosecu
tor Mervyn Griffith-Jones sum
mation today. The panel of 11
men and one woman was expect
ed to reach a verdict either to
night or Wednesday.
Monday, he heard himself de
scribed by both prosecution and
defense as immoral, oversexed,
and fond of the company of many
young ladies.
But defense attorney James
Burge charged that this was no
reason to send a man to prison.
He denied that Ward had lived
from the earnings of Christine or
18-year-old Manrty Rice-Davies,
who also testified against him.
Mandy claimed she had had sex
ual relations with Lord Astor,
head of one of Britain's first fam
ilies, and former actor Douglas
Fairbanks Jr., a claim both have
denied.

Granted asylum
Third man' Philby
now Soviet citizen
MOSCOW (UPI) H. A. R.
Philby, the "third man" in Brit
ain's Burgess-MacLean spy case
a decade ago, has been granted
Soviet citizenship and political
asylum in Russia, the govern
ment newspaper Izvestia an
nounced today.
Philby, a former British diplo
mat, intelligence agent and news
paperman, disappeared from Bei
rut, Lebanon, in late Jan
uary, and his whereabouts were
uncertain until the Izvestia dis
closure. The British government said at
the beginning of this month that
it was Philby who warned For
eign Office diplomats Guy Bur
gess and Donald MacLean that
they were about to be picked up
by British Secret Service
agents as Soviet spies. The two
then vanished, and later turned
up in Moscow.
At the time he disappeared.
Philby had been Mideast corre
spondent for the London Sunday
newspaper Observer and the
magazine Economist.
Lord Privy Seal Edward Heath
told the House of Commons July
1st that Philby had admitted he
had worked for the Soviets during
World War II.
He said also Philby was the
mysterious "third man" who tip
ped off turncoat British diplomats
Burgess and MacLean that secu
rity agencies were poised to take
action against them just before
their 1951 flight to Russia.

from the Bend School District.
The segment of the new devel

northeast corner of the property
and includes the building original

250 foot frontage reaches back
some 500 feet.
Bob Thomas of the local motor
firm said the area his firm has
used as a sales point for both new

tually, it is expected that the
highway-facing area will play a
major role in expansion and con
solidation plans of the motor com
pany. Rickabaugh and Arntz took pos

They are subdividing the area in
