At a meeting of the Sisters School Board last night, it was indicated that some 30 signatures have al ready been obtained. It is expected that the petitions will be presented to the Rural School Board either at its meet ing next Monday evening or at the September meeting. The earliest time that the merger could be consummated would be at the end of the fiscal year next June, in time for the 1964-65 school year.

The Sisters district, with its McNamara says U.S. vastly superior in nuclear power WASHINGTON (UPI) - De fense Secretary Robert S. Mc Namara asserted today that the United States, with "tens of thou sands" of atomic warheads, was "manifestly superior" to Russia in nuclear power and would r Isk little in ratifying the test ban treaty. The limited ban would slow So viet nuclear progress and prolong U. S. superiority, McNamara told the Senate in the second day of hearings on the historic Moscow pact. He acknowledged that Russia "apparently" was ahead of the United States in design of super bombs in the multi-megaton range a point that has disturbed some Senate critics and military lead ers. But he said that lead resulted from America's "considered de cision" against concentrating on such bombs. He said horror weap ons of the 100-megaton type, which Russia could develop, had doubtful military utility compared with smaller megaton weapons that America could launch now with precision and in vast num bers. Says Risks Small Asserting his "unequivocal sup port" of the treaty, McNamara said the risks it entails "are either small or under our control and the values under the treaty ' are substantial . . ." This was in essence the same thine Secretary of State Dean Rusk said Monday. Rusk was the administration s first witness be fore the Senate foreign relations, armed services and atomic energy committees to urge ratification of the nact which would ban air, space and underwater tests but allow continued' underground blasts. McNamara elaborated on sev eral points made Monday by Rusk, Darticularly assuring senators that this country will pursue under ground testing and will keep at peak readiness to resume atmos pheric testing at once- if Russia breaks the ban. ' Rusk also said he felt a prime reason the Soviet Union agreed to the test ban was because the Cu ban crisis last fall gave Kremlin leaders a look "into the pit of the inferno." Rusk said Rus sia concluded it was in its self interest to agree to the treaty, which it had rejected previously. McNamara said neither an un likely successful secret violation nor an abrupt abrogation with surprise testing on Russia's part would threaten U. S. security. Nothing that could happen under the treaty's terms or in violation of them, he said, could change the basic fact that America "will maintain its ability to survive a surprise attack with sufficient power to destroy the So viet Union." The Pentagon chief sought to meet head-on several senatorial concerns about the accord's mili tary effects. He said the United States still could build as large bombs as it needed. He said sur vival of underground missile sites could be insured despite some un- certainties that atmospheric test ing could clear - up about their vulnerability.' . , ' McNamara said America could proceed with development of anti missile defenses with or without a test ban, using analysis to over come uncertainties about the way that nuclear blasts might black out defense radar and communica tions. And regardless of Soviet missile defense developments, he said, American weapons would be able to "penetrate and devastate Russia if it ever came to tha. LONDON (UPI) Police dis closed today they have located the hideout of the robbery gang that looted a royal mail train of more than $7 million. By the time the police got there the robbers were gone, and so was the loot from the biggest rob bery of all time, Scotland Yard announced. "Empty mail bags" were found said Commander George Hat herill, deputy commander of Scot land Yard. The hideout was a brick house called Leatherslade farm, about 23 miles from the scene of last Thursday's robbery at Chedding ton. Hatherill said the house looked as through the gang had left "in rather a hurry." "There were a lorry (truck) and two Landrovers (Jeep-like vehi cles) outside. A pit had been dug. It looked as though they intended to bury the stuff,", the comman der said. Hatherill said no money was found at the hideout, but that some mailbags had been located. He said the hideout "resembled an empty cottage." He said it was located some distance from main roads and warned that po lice would keep the area sealed off for two or three days while investigations were carried out. Hatherill said he already had ordered a team of finger-print ex perts to the house. He said he believed the gang had left the house about three days ago and that they might have been scared away by press publicity. The press has carried numerous reports that police believed the gang may have hidden within a radius of 30 miles of the scene of the robbery last Thursday morn ing. "We have satisfied ourselves that this is the place. We don't know who the owners are yet, Hatherill said. The estimated 20 to 30 masked men vanished after seizing the Glasgow-to-London mail train last Thursday morning near Chedding. ton in Buckinghamshire and tak ing $7,146,000 in cash.

DOW JONES AVERAGES Bv United Pra International Dow Jones final stock averages Security detail keeping guard oyer governor SALEM (UPI) Around-the-clock security protection for Gov. Mark Hatfield is continuing, bis office said today. Uniformed members of a spe-! cial security detail under the ad ministration of the superintendent of state police may be seen near the governors residence here. 7 The security force was es tablished after the 1963 legislature adopted a resolution caOing for strengthened security measures for Hatfield. The legislative action came shortly after an incident in May in which a disgruntled person fired more than a dozen shots near the governor's house. At the recent governor's con ference in Miami it was brought out that security is provided all governors who live in state-owned executive mansions, and that most other governors have some type of security provided either by state or municipal authorities. Oregon docs not have a state owned executive mansion, and the Hatfields live in their own home in southeast Salem. Earlier this summer United Press International revealed the Federal Bureau of Investigation had been called last December to probe a threat on Hatfield's life. Announcement of the probe was delayed at the request of the FBI. Those favoring the merger point out that the some $18,000 raised last year by taxation in the dis trict would be a drop in the bucket for the big Bend district. Bene fits to Sisters are enumerated in the categories of taxation stabil ity and vocational and academic advantages. Opposition to the plan has been voiced by some Sisters residents, who fear that their high school would be closed. Figures com piled by W. W. Johnston. Sisters superintendent, for presentation to the Bend district board, indi cate that it would be more eco nomical to maintain the school, but to transport high school stu dents to Bend for vocational training and team teaching exper iments, on a once-a-week basis. Why, one might ask, would Bend want to take on the respon sibility for a district that is rich in resources but poor in tax money? The best answer, educa tors said, is that it would exem plify the American principal of sharing and giving service. There are other reasons too. The Sisters area, where there are numerous home-site developments and recreation facilities, is an ticipating an influx from conjest ed states, as the subdivision ac tivity pyramids. Property in the Sisters area would be more at tractive to purchasers, if it were guaranteed a stable tax structure. Sisters is close to Bend geo graphically and socially. Many of the adults there have employment headquarters and economic inter est in the Bend area. Forty-six per cent of- the school children, on a four-year average, come from homes where the parents live or work on federal land. The Sisters schools are closer to Bend than the extremities, of their own district. Limit on Indebtedness For many years. Sisters has paid twice as much as other dis tricts in the county to support its school. There is a limit to the amount of bonded indebtedness that a district can assume. In time, the buildings will wear out, or additions will be needed. Pro ponents of the plan point out that there would be advantages in be ing a part of a system that has a long-range building and expan sion program, and could more easilv assimilate a small district. The procedure enabling the merger was set up by Senate Bill 287, which became a law May 13. Under its terms, three persons in either merging district may pre sent a petition to the Rural School Board. If the petition is accept ed by that body, a time is set for discussion. After two publica tions and a required public hear ing, 20 days are allowed in which a remonstrance can be filed. A remonstrance requires the signatures of five per cent of the legal voters within the district, or 500 signers, whichever is less. If there are remonstrances in both districts, the Rural School Board must set up elections in both, with the small district vot ing first. In the case of only one remonstrance, only one election is required. If there is no remon strance, the Rural School Board may declare the merger effec tive, and no election is required. 15) 12) mi inairks Union denies its blessing to marchers Weather High yesterday, 84 dagrtat.

(UPI) -The AFL-CIO high command re fused today to endorse the Aug. j 28 civil rights march on Washing-. ton despite appeals by two union ! leaders who called for organized . labor's backing of the mass dem-, onstration. I A 4u-j rrt t 1 I . rt nanus uil puuey luwcuu uie march was adopted by the AFL CIO Executive Council over the protests of Auto Workers Presi dent Walter P. Reuther and Ne gro union chief A. Philip Ran dolph. . George Meany, AFL-CIO presi dent, said he felt most of the council members concluded there was grave doubt about whether the march would hamper passage of civil rights legislation. The council's statement said AFL-CIO unions were free to join the march if they wished. But it added that the labor federation would stick to lobbying on Capi tol Hill and moving against dis crimination at the grass roots level. The decision was a setback for Randolph, national director of the march, and Reuther, another principal sponsor of the demon stration that is expected to attract more than 100,000 Negro and white marchers. . "We are not endorsing the march nor are we condemning it," Meany told a news confer ence. "We are in complete sym pathy with the organizations that are sponsoring this march. The AFL-CIO shares the same goals with the Negro civil rights organ iations." Meany said he personally felt the march was unwise. He said demonstrators might break away from the main pro cession and invade Capitol Hill despite the best intentions on the Dart of march sponsors. Reuther said tne statement was unsatisfactory, inadequate and failed to recognize the moral is sues in the demonstration." He and Randolph attempted to get all out AFL-CIO backing for the march but ran into stiff oppo sition from Meany and other mem bers of the 29-man council meet ing here at a union-owned resort in the Pocono Mountains.

Death was the result of a Reinhardt left his Powell Butte Ranch in the moonlight, about 9:30 Monday night. The stroll, westward, apparently started fol lowing a disagreement between Reinhardt and his wife, only other occipant of the fine ranch home a short distance southeast of the Powell Butte Post Office. When Reinhardt failed to return home, his wife conferred with friends and her pastor, who ad- viwed not immediately to report Reinhardt missing, because of the embarrassment it would cause him on his return. On Wednes day, officers were notified. Then followed discovery of the body Sunday. The body was only partly clothed. Reinhardt's trousers had been taken off. It is known that when he left home, the rancher had around $60 on his person. Officers have attempted, with out success, to locate some point at which the body might have been thrown into the North Unit Canal. Heavy rain east of Red mond this past weekend obliterat ed all tracks. (See also story on page 1.) Motel units are. removed from tract The South City Limits Motel, on South Third Street, has been re moved unit by unit from the one block tract bordered by South Second and Third Streets and Roosevelt and McKinley Avenues. The motel, operated for a time by the late Kenneth L. Hicks, The Dalles and Bend nespaper man, was, at the time of its con struction, near the south city lim its of Bend. Owners of the property are Donald and Ralph D. Edwards, of Salt Lake City. They purchas ed the land this year from Mrs. Frances Waldron who operated the motel for a short period k late 1961. Mrs. Waldron said this morning the units have been sold to Kenneth Holman, Sr., of Hol- man Transfer & Storage. According to Hap Taylor, local realtor, a new motel with conven tion center facilities may be erect ed on the vacant sit at some fu ture date. The Edwards', Taylor said, are in process of selling the property but may consider enter ing in partnership with a buyer who would build for this purpose. The Edwards' operate the Arc tic Circle Restaurant chain and other enterprises. Redmond man hurt in crash A Redmond fireman, William E. Lamborn, 28, was injured about 7 p.m. Monday when his car left U.S. Highway 37 a short distance north of Bend, struck and uprooted a 16-inch juniper and came to rest in the roadside ditch. Lamborn was brought to the St. Charles Memorial Hospital in the Bend city ambulance. His condi tion this morning was considered fair, with injuries not yet fully De termined. Lamborn is employed by Whit- tier Moulding, in Redmond. For Mid-Oregon Brewster is named U.S. Commissioner A long-time Central Oregonian, George H. Brewster, Redmond at torney, today was named U.S. Commissioner serving Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties. The appointment was made In Portland by Judge Gus J. Solo mon, presiding judge of the U.S. District Court of Oregon. Judge Solomon made the appointment following a conference with Fed eral District Judges William G. East and John F. Kilkenny.

BAKER GETS CITATION CHICAGO (UPI) -An Oregon city was cited by the American Bar Association Monday. Baker was given honorable men tion in the 10,000 to 25,000 classifi cation In the association's awards for traffic court improvements. Hatfield names circuit judges SALEM (UPI) Appointment of judges to the two new circuit court positions created by the 1963 legislature was announced today by Gov. Mark Hatiield. Albert R. Musick was named a Washington county circuit judge. and Edwin R. Allen as judge of the new Lane County circuit Court. Musick is married and the fath er of one child. Allen, also mar ried, is the father of two children. Musick served in the law firm of Black and Kendall from 1948 to 1962, and was a partner in Castles and Musick, Beavfcrton, from counter intelligence in World War II. Allen served in the firm of Reid and Bartle from 1949 to 1965, from 1955 to 1958 served in the judge advocate corps of the U.S. Army, and from 1958 to now was a partner in the law firm of Bartle and Allen. SWEPT BY FIRB STAYTON (UPI) Fire of un determined origin Monday leveled Lewin's New and Used Furniture store here. More than 500 telephones were knocked out when the blaze burned through a telephone cable. At present, all federal cases, even those involving trespass tnd other violations within the federal forest, must be taken to Portland for hearings. As a result, few of the cases have ever reached court. Under the new arrangement, forest rangers making arrests can take accused violators directly before Brewster for preliminary action. Actually, the appointment of the Redmond attoney as U.S. Com missioner provides the area with a federal justice of the peace. Central Oregon has been with out a federal commissioner since the death many years ago of Judge H. C. Ellis of Bend. Brewster, who admits he is now "more choosy" in the selection of cases than in earlier years and Dlans to confine his legal work to irrigation matters, was admit ted to the Oregon Bar in 192t and has practiced law in Redmond since that year. His residence in Central Oregon dates well beyond 11125. He is a native of Maywood, 111., where he was born on March 19, 1885. His residence in Oregon dates to 19I. He attended the Uni versity of Wisconsin early m the ccnturv. then completed nis col lece work at the University of California. Brewster served as a water master in Central Oregon, in nis nre-law days, and was on the Red mond city council. Me is a veteran of World War I, and has long been active in American Legion work.

Portland area di rector for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, a function of the Depart ment of Interior. 1 BERLIN (UPD-A heavy ex plosion on the Communist side of a border canal early today ushered in the second anniversary of the hated Red -built Berlin wall. West Berlin police said a blue flame shot 45 feet into the air as the blast echoed across the Teltow Canal at 3:30 a.m. The mysterious explosion went off in the restricted zone behind barbed wire on the East German bank of the canal. West Berlin police said they saw Communist border guards carrying out a search and heard shots. But they could not see if the Reda arrest ed anyone. The cause of the ex plosion was not Known. Only Reported Incident The blast site was about a mile southwest of the main U.S. Army base at McNair Barracks, at' a point where the Teltav Canal forms the border between East Germany and the West Berlin American sector of Zehlendorf. The incident, deliberate or not. was the only one reported in the early hours of the anniversary as both East and West acted to keep the day a peaceful one. It was feared, however, Wat there might be demonstrations after an 8 p.m. rally in the meet ing hall of the Technical Uni versity. This rally was called by the "union of Political Prisoners" under the motto "The Wall Must Fall." Riot squads stood at alert in West Berlin as wreaths to refu gees killed while trying to escape from communism were laid at the wall during the day without any disturbance. West Berlin police put up barricades, held water cannon in readiness and were pre pares to put down promptly any riots which might erupt a they did last Aug. 13. Communist border guards were observed strengthening the 100 yard deep "forbidden zone" on their side of the wall. They also rolled up a water cannon and two trucks to the border behind the Brandenburg Gate, while 20 sol diers and 4 officers took posts around the gate itself. Along other areas of the wall. the usual number of patrolling East German guards was doubled, the West Berlin police said.
