A movement to join the Sisters
School District with the Bend Ad
ministrative District is gaining
momentum, with petitions being
circulated in the Sisters area. 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.

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,

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.

UNITY HOUSE. Pa. (UPI) -The
AFL-CIO high command re

A 4u-j rrt t 1 I

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.

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.
