Hi and Lo 60th Year Twelve Pages Wednesday, August 14, 1963 Ten Cents No. 212 pemmmxsiyifal need noted i Vote due Thursday on COD hospital I expansion program By Lucille Jordan Bulletin Staff Writer REDMOND Fate of Central Oregon District Hospital's long-hoped-for expansion program will again be placed in the hands of district voters tomorrow at an election in Redmond City Hall. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. Decision to resubmit the pro posed bond issue of $390,000 was made after a study by the board and a citizens' building commit tee. The previous proposal, de feated by only 39 votes, listed a figure of $410,000, but $4500 has been paid the architect for pre liminary work; the hospital has accumulated a $24,000 building fund, and $9500 has been spent on equipment listed in the previous proposal (an inter-com sys tem, doctors' call board and fire alarm system). Lengthy study has been given possibility of cutting back the pro posed construction, revising or programming the project on a progressive basis, but, because all such projects must meet require ments set up by the State Board of Health, it was found that such changes would not be financially or physically feasible. Immediate Start Sought Both the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals and the Oregon State Board of Health have recommended that the pro gram be started immediately. COD Hospital received its long- worked for accreditation last April, along with the recommend 7 ation from the commission that "Plans for new const ruction should be continued to relieve the overcrowding noted in many areas and to provide more ade quate facilities for the various de partments of the hospital." According to Fred Baer, hospit al administrator, the construction would solve several urgent prob lems: Consolidate the maternity department into one unit; provide a complete pediatric section; pro vide surgical recovery rooms, a minor surgery room, a confer ence room, office for director of Seat belt clinic set by Jaycees Bend Jaycees will sponsor an other in a series of seat belt clin ics in Bend on Saturday, August 24, Dallas Merchant, chairman for the program announced today. The seat belts will be sold on the parking lot between the police station from 9:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Costs of the belts installed is $5.50. Anyone having a question regarding the clinic may call Mer chant at 382-1511.

BE IN YOUR HOME BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS See all the home values on Pages 10 & 11 of today's Bulletin nurses, mental unit, physical ther apy unit and more bed space. Estimated cost of the project has been set at $24.53 per square foot, including all furniture and equipment for the new depart ments. The new addition would cover 13,513 square feet. Includ ed in the figure is cost of remodel ing 1739 square feet of the exist ing structure. Since Central Oregon District Hospital opened its doors in Aug ust, 1952, there have been 26,379 in-patients and 3465 births. There have been no maternal or surgi cal deaths. Records show that the hospital, in a year's time, has treated as many car accident pa tients as some of the larger hos pitals in metropolitan areas. The number of out patients treated in August, 1962, was 549 per cent higher than the number treated in August, 1952, Baer said. There were 22 per cent more in-patients and 19 per cent more newborns. Major share of the increase in i out-patients is due, Baer said, to ; availability of more diagnostic i tests in both the laboratory and the x-ray departments, plus in-! crease in industrial, highway and home accidents and an increase by one-third of the area's popula tion in the past 11 years. Surveys Made On several occasions, Baer said, governmental and industrial agents have made a survey ot tne hospital to determine if facilities are adequate to handle an influx of population if new industries should locate in the area-. Ade quacy of hospital facilities, along with-schools and recreation areas, plays a major role in final de cisions on new industrial loca tions, the agents told Baer. Despite location of Hospitals in anv area. Baer said, freedom of choice always will play a part in the picture. A high percentage ot COD's patient load comes from out of the district, but, on the oth er hand, some district residents prefer to go to other cities. "This is as it should be," Baer said.. "Some feel that a hospital in Madras would make expansion here unnecessary. A great many thought St. Charles in Bend would suffer when COD opened, but St. Charles has built three additions in the past ten years. Influx Continues "Despite what happens in Ma dras," he continued, "the influx of population in our own area con tinues and I'm sure the hospital would continue to be overcrowd ed. It would take two years for a complete hospital to be construct ed and equipped after all prelimi naries are completed. We are des perately in need of more facilities now." Baer said the new wing would ho tmiIv for use nine months after groundbreaking. Total value of the present plant and equipment is an excess of one million dol lars, accordine to the 1962 audit, Eiehty-four people, most of them women, are on the payroll. If the new wing is constructed, the pay roll would be increased to about 92. Baer said. West Coast drops flights till Sept. 1 West Coast Airlines today sus pended its operations out of the Redmond Air Base, with no furth er flights planned until September 1. Reason given for the discontinu ance of service was the need for the repair of equipment, and tlie lack of equipment to carry jut schedules. Flights have been intermittent for the past several days. There was no advance an nouncement of plans for the can cellation of all flights until Sep tember 1, and the information was not available here this morn ing until a local resident called the Redmond airport to make res ervations. This past week, a radical change in flight service out of Redmond was announced. . Agreement set for federal CD supervision Deschutes county's Civil De fense organization, along with those of five other Oregon coun ties, will be administered by the federal government through the state CD agency, if a plan draft ed yesterday is approved by Gov ernor Mark Hatfield. The federal government, which refused matching funds for the cut-down state agency, tentative ly agreed to provide supervision for the six county civil defense programs. A day-long meeting was held Tuesday between Rob ert W. Sandstrom, state" CD di rector, and two federal officials. Cole Sullivan, federal field rep resentative for Oregon, and Dan Campbell, region eight federal fi nancial assistance officer, met with Sandstrom. Back In Budget The Deschutes county Civil De fense program, first scrapped by the budget committee, was put back in the budget at a continued public hearing. It was first thought that the county program would be on a strictly county-federal basis. County Judge D. L. Penhollow said today that the county will discontinue obtaining surplus property under the Civil Defense program, so if a future budget committee decides to eliminate the program, it will be easier to do so. Surplus property thus ac quired must be returned, if a county drops its Civil Defense program. The 1963 legislature slashed the state CD organization from an 18 member agency to a three-member coordinating staff. As a re sult, federal matching funds were withdrawn from the state agen cy. A subsequent attempt to get an additional $50,000 appropriation was turned down by the State Emergency Board, made up of legislatures. Tentative Approval Also given tentative approval yesterday in Salem were the use of National Guard trucks and per sonnel to stock fallout shelters, continued operation of the state communications center in the basement of the capitol building, and continued radiological moni toring and training. Sandstrom said he expected to have the recommendations writ ten and ready for submission to the governor later this week.

Preliminary tests Lunar group By Phil F. Brogan Bulletin Staff Writer I A long lava tube io the rugged i country northeast of Fort Rock ; today was the scene of prehmi I nary tests which may be the key to survival for the first American , spacemen landing on the moon. The cavern is the Derrick Cave, i on Bureau of Land Management land. Gathered there were North i American Aviation personnel, a ' lunar geologist, a representative I of the Oregon Department of Plan I ning and Development and a Pa- cific Northwest Bell official. I Over the area today or later Lack of funds forces move, pay cuts set SALEM (UPI) -Layoff of 100 State Department of Employment employes and cuts in pay for all remaining employees was order ed today. As part of the cutback, branch offices in Oceanlake, Mt. Angel and Mt. Shasta, Calif., and Her miston have been closed, and oth er branch offices are being put on a short day. The cutbacks resulted because of the failure of congress to pro vide funds, department officials said. The department was granted an advance allotment for the first quarter, pending approval by Con gress of the normal money allot ment. The cutback became neces sary when a directive was Issued restricting expenditures for the quarter to the amount included in the advance allotment. Involved is about $1.1 million dollars in federal money each quarter. Commissioner David H. Camer on said he did not know how long the emergency would last. "Congress Has Failed" "We operate on federal funds, and Congres has failed to provide the money, so we'll just have to get along on what we have. He said remaining employes would be asked to take a one-step cut in pay during the emergency. The 100 employes who were laid off are scattered throughout the state. About 650 employes would be affected by the pay cuts. The department has protested the lack of funds to Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., and Rep. Al UU- man, D-Ore. UUmaa is on the House Appropriations Committee. Other members of the congres sional delegation also were noti fied. Cameron pointed out that the of fices closures come at a time when farmers need workers to harvest the peak late summer crops and food processors are re opening to process these crops. 'It also comes at a time when much hiring is done through em ployment service offices for the back-to-school boost m business, and at the very peak of the tour ist season," Cameron noted. He said the department oper ates entirely on federal appropria tions. He said that in addition to the fact that Congres had failed to appropirate money for this quarter, budget cuts for fiscal 1964 are forecast. Cohen severely beaten by fellow prison inmate ATLANTA, Ga. (UPIt-Racka-teer Meyer (Mickey) Cohen, 49, was severely beaten with a pipe today by a fellow inmate at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. Cohen's condition was described by the Justice Department in Washington as "very serious" and Warden E. M. Heritage said a neurologist was examining he California mobster who was serv ing a 15-year term for tax evasion. The Justice Department said Cohen was attacked by an inmate with a record as a mental patient who struck Cohen on the head with a length of pipe. Heritage said Cohen, transfer red to the Atlanta prison from Alcatraz earlier this year, was struck "two or three licks." Both Heritage and FBI sources said they did not think the at tack bad any gangster connec tions. begin will be flown a plane carrying instruments, to determine the pos sibility of locating caverns and fumaroles from an aircraft. Members of the group confer red here this morning with the Bend Chamber of Commerce in dustrial committee. On Tuesday, Dr. Jack Green, North American Aviation geologist, spoke before members of the Bend Lions Club to explain the purpose of the Cen tra Oregon cave studies. Dr. Green said various types of rock are being collected in the area, to determine water content that will serve as a standard for Increased mm in Ul YARD-WIDE HOLE City crews are pictured working on a yard-wide trench along Bond Street' for a new 12-inch water main. The original pipe was installed in 1921. Crews are expected to complete the Greenwood to Franklin project in about one month. ' Bend Post Office to end Saturday window service Effective on August 24, Satur day window service at the Bend Post Office will be halted, in keeping with a national trend, Postmaster Farley J. Elliott has announced. The Post Office presently re mains open three and a Halt hours on Saturday, in the morn ing. This necesitatcs a stagger ing of hours of workers who are on a 40 hour week. Under the new plan, members of the postal crew will work five full days a week, not four full days and two half days as at present. Elliott said there will be no cur tailment of Saturday box service or carrier delivery. Arrangements for the distribution at the rear of the Post Office for firms expect ing Saturday packages have been made. Stamp machines will be available in the lobby, and the Brandis substation will be in oper ation for those wishing to mail packages Saturday. Pilot programs in the Saturday closing of Post Offices have been underway across the nation for some time. Locally, a survey was made to determine the number of offices and firms closed on Satur day. Postmaster Elliott said the list is surprisingly long. studying investigations prior to the attempt ed lunar landings. Also, he said the morphology of lava tubes is being studied, to determine what protection such tubes, if they exist on the moon, could provide for earthmen. To create an artifical density, two tons of old railroad steel is to be bundled and taken well back into Derrick Cave. An attempt will later be made to locate this steel from the surface, through magnet and gravity testing equipment. Later, a Pacific Northw est Bell plane will be flown over the wages, benefits due n Fraud charged Federal suit filed against Inn owners PORTLAND (UPI) The gov ernment today filed a complaint against owners of the Pilot Butte Inn In Bend charging a fraudulent mortgage transfer. : The lengthy complaint, filed in Federal Court, claimed that Wil liam and Gertrude Crobett paid One Siamese twin succumbs LOS ANGELES (UPI) One of the Siamese twin boys born to a 16-year-old Glendale, Calif., motRer last Saturday died early today from an infection of the blood stream. Daniel Bartlcy was separated from his brother, David, Sunday in a delicate three-hour operation at Children's Hospital. David, who has not shown symptoms of the infection which took his brother's life, was re ported still on the critical list but "holding his own.'

The complaint alleged that when the government attempted to fore close on the liens, the company Dickcrson, Inc., moved in and claimed prior right under the mortgage. The government charged that as a result of the mortgage transac tion a fraud was perpetrated on it and the Deschutes County Cir cuit Court which foreclosed on the alleged second mortgage Nov. 12, 1958. The government also alleged the Corbctts transferred title of the Inn to their five children to de feat taxes. The complaint asked the Feder al Court to set aside all property transfers; set aside the Deschutes court decree, and to foreclose on the unpaid balance of the federal tax liens. The government said liens amounted to about $300,000 when placed in 1955. The com plaint claimed the unpaid balance amounts to $132,442. The complaint also asked a pre liminary injunction restraining any further property transfers pending disposition of the case.

Only okay by workers now needed PORTLAND (UPI) The Paci fic Northwest's lengthy lumber strike was all but over today aft er negotiators for two striking un ions and the Big Six employers' bargaining association agreed on a contract here Tuesday night. The three-year agreement be tween representatives of the In ternational Woodworkers of Amer ica (IWA) and tlie Lumber and Sawmill Workers' (LSW) unions and the Big Six if ratified by un ion members would leave only an estimated 500 men on strike. At one time about 29,000 were idled. About 6,400 men have been on strike since June 5 against two Big Six companies, St, Regis and U.S. Plywood. The other lour members shut down In retaliation but reopened last week. The proposed contract, which calls for a 30',4-cent hourly raise in wages and benefits during tlie next three years, will be voted on this week by IWA and LSW work ers. Results of the referendum balloting are expected to be an nounced Sunday afternoon. At tlie start of negotiations the LSW had asked for a 60-cent hour ly increase and the IWA a 40-cent hike, both spread over three years.

The two sides also agreed to form a joint study committee to look into automation and other major problems. The Big Six dropped its demands for a change in overtime pay for working weekends. Hatfield Comments Gov. Mark Hatfield issued the following statement after the set tlement: The division within the ranks of management in the lumber in dustry indicated the delicacy of issues involved and the various ways in "which they are affected. All Oregonians are relieved that our economy will be restored and that fire and infestation dangers will be lessened. Rather than imposing itself. government instead participated through persuasion and counseled both sides to continue negotiations in good faith." If the Big Six contract is rati fied by union members and it is expted to be the only major struck company left would be the Menasha Plywood division plant at North Bend where some 325 employes are idle, Tlie Menasha firm reached agreement in Coos Bay Tuesday night with the LSW for woods employes and about 85 loggers will return to work Thurs day. The plywood division plant remained closed with further talks scheduled Thursday afternoon. Al so still affected are some boom operations.
