Meany says
effort lags
on jobless
WASHINGTON (UPI) AFL
CIO president George Meany said
today the Kennedy administration
and Congress are doing far too
little to stimulate the economy
and reduce unemployment.
Without directly pinning blame,
Meany said in a Labor Day mes
sage that there was "shocking"
complacency in some quarters
about a jobless rate that exceeds
5 per cent of the work force.
The chief spokesman for 12.5
million union members declared
that the federal government's ef
forts so far have not begun to
solve the economic dilemma.
He said the only way to restore
full employment in the nation was
to adopt a basic 35-hour week, cut
taxes, increase pay and provide
broader social security benefits.
Nwd More Jobs
Meany asserted that more jobs
were needed to help provide equal
opportunity for Negroes since
lowering of hiring restrictions
would do no good unless employ
ers had openings for them.
His statement contrasted with a
Labor Day message issued by
Kennedy which said the nation
could take satisfaction in the
steady gain in living stand
ards and new peaks for income,
employment and production.
The President, however,
called for a speed-up in the ef
forts to reduce joblessness esti
mated at 4,250,000 in July.
Meany's theme reflected a
growing impatience among union
leaders with the administration's
failure to cut into jobless to
tals. "By some measurements the
nation is prosperous," Meany be
gan. But he noted that unemploy
ment has remained above S per
cent for five years and is likely
to increase because more young
sters are seeking jobs and tech
nological changes are cutting
down the demand for workers.
"The facts are no less shock
ing because they are familiar,"
Meany said. "But what is even
more shocking is the lack of any
meaningful action or any visible
sense of urgency outside the ranks
of labor itself.
"After nearly six years there is
an attitude in some quarters that
we are 'learning to live with' a
jobless rate of five per cent
or even six per cent," he said.
"This is intolerable."
For example, he said, record
auto production this year was ac
complished with 150,000 fewer
workers than were needed to turn
out virtually the same number of
cars in 1955. He said the pattern
which he called a "blueprint for
disaster" also prevails in other
industries.
Daytime flight's
are resumed
West Coast today resumed its
daytime flights through Central
Oregon, on a schedule that will
be effective until October 27, when
a revision will be necessary as
the daylight time season ends, it
was announced from the Redmond
office.
Since August 8, West Coast for
a time suspended all flights to and
from Redmond, while equipment
was being maintained. There was
also a period in which flights
were on a midnight schedule.
Under the schedule effective to
day, morning flights will arrive
at Redmond at 7:40 a.m. and
leave for Klamath Falls at 8 a.m.
This flight will be from Portland.
The southbound flight from Red
mond will be via Klamath Falls,
Burns and Boise. San Francisco
passengers will make a transfer
at Klamath Falls.
A northbound evening flight
from San Francisco, Boise and
Klamath Falls will arrive at
Redmond at 6:20 p m. and leave
for Portland at 6:40 p.m. There
will be stops at Salem and Cor
vallis. 'Mostly fair
...if says here
Clouds covered Central Oregon
skies this morning, but weather
men stuck to their earlier fore
cast: "Mostly fair tonight and
Sunday."
Temperatures are expected to
be near the seasonal normal, from
83 to 88 degrees. Mild nights will
continue.

U.S. off

By United Pr.it International
Much of the nation's population
was away from home today,
headed for a final fling of sum
mer holiday funmaking, sobered
only by the highway traffic peril.
The National Safety Council es
timated that from 430 to 520 per
sons would die in traffic acci
dents during the holiday period,
which began at 6 p.m. Friday
and will end at midnight Mon
day. Scores more will lose their
lives in miscellaneous accidents
during the 78-hour period.
The record traffic toll for a
Labor Day holiday was marked
up last year when 501 persons
died. The Safety Council feared
that mark might be exceeded this
year because new records were
set during this year's Memorial
and Independence holidays. Last
year 177 persons were killed in
other types of accidents over La
bor Day.
The Safety Council said 360 per
sons would die during a corepara-

Keys object .
of chase
on Friday
A ring holding some 40 or 50
keys that were last seen hanging
on a rear bumper of a jeep was
the object of a hunt which took
Dr. George McGeary, Bend, in
to the high Cascades Friday aft
ernoon. In the Jeep were Mike Mc
Geary, Mark Adams and K i p
Kemple, who drove into a local
service station to fill up their car
before going on a bow hunting
trip into the Broken Top rim coun
try. With Dr. McGeary, in anoth
er car, the boys had their tank
filled, then headed for the hills.
Moments later it was discovered
that Dr. Geary's keys, one of
which fitted the car operated by
his son, Mike, had been left on
the bumper of the mountain-bound
Jeep.
Dr. McGeary was unable to
start his own car, because the
ignition key was in the missing
ring, so, with Pete James of the
service station as driver of anoth
er car, he headed for the hills,
in the wake of the young hunters'
car.
The boys were overtaken high
in the Broken Top Country. The
keys were not on the bumper. A
search of the road from the Bend
city limits to the Todd Lake coinv
try was made, without any luck.
There is a possibility that the
keys dropped from the bumper in
Bend. Dr. McGeary said $10
awaits the person who might find
them.

Bova, 52, buried in an Aug. 13
cave-in along with David Fellin
and Henry Throne, has not been
heard from since Aug. 20. The
other two were rescued early last
Tuesday.
A tense silence descended on
this dusty valley Friday and on
the men who have tirelessly
probed the ground for Bova when
H. Beech er Charmbury, state sec
retary of mines, reported that a
television camera lowered into an
escape hole had picked up what
seemed to be the form of a man.
That silence lasted until late in
the day when Charmbury
emerged from a tent after a con
ference with Andy Debntko, who
had been lowered into the hole
to investigate. Charmbury report
ed to a crowd of more than 1000:
It was a concrete plug, along
with a piece of rope. It could
easily give the appearance of a
body ... we are very proud that
we have men like Andy who are
willing to go down there and look
around."
Debritko walked off, and the
drills which had been silent all
day suddenly went into operation
again, filling the night with the
whining that meant Louis Bova,
alive or dead, still was to be
located deep in the earth.
When Charmbury first saw the
television image, he had reported
excitedly that it seemed to show
p miner s hat, head, shoulders,
arms, legs, and boots. The body
appeared to be in a sitting po
sition against a post."
The picture had been taken in
the 305-feet-deep hole through
which Fellin and Throne were
rescued, and though they report
ed no communication with Bova
since Aug. 20, it was believed the
third man might have crawled
into the chamber after their es
cape. When Bova's brothers Daniel
and John saw the image and re
ported "it's possible, it's possi
ble," excitement mounted at the
lonely mine here. Shortly the
number of spectators began to
grow.
More television pictures were
tn ho Mtempted today, and the
drilling continued unabated, but
the chances for the survival of
Louis Bova were privately con
sidered slim by almost all ob
servers here.

HYANN1S PORT, Mass. (UPI)
President Kennedy will visit
Oregon as part of a 10-state tour
of conservation and natural re
source areas late next month, the
White House announced today.
The White House said no de
tails of times or places were
available, but Rep. Edith Green,
D-Ore., said in Washington, D.C.
that Kennedy planned to speak
in Portland Saturday, Sept. 28,
at a dedication of the city's new
high rise public housing project
for the aged.
It also was expected Kennedy
would visit the Oregon Dunes
seashore area.
The White House said Kennedy's
trip would take him to Pennsyl
vania, Minnesota, North Dakota,
Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Wash
ington, Oregon, California and Ne
vada. The President said he hoped the
journey would "focus attention on
the vital part of American life
and stimulate further efforts in
the field of national conserva
tion." The White House said Kennedy's
trip would take him to national
parks, national seashores, wilder
ness areas, dams and power and
redevelopment projects.
There has been talk of the
President possibly visiting the
Hanford atomic works and Grand
Coulee Dam in the state of Wash
ington. The projecM visit to Portland
Sept. 28 would bring Kennedy
into Oregon just two weeks be

said in Portland, "The President's
announcement to visit Oregon
bears out the plan that I knew
he had to visit the site of the
Oregon Dunes National Seashore.
I am delighted that he will have
the opportunity to compare at
first hand the Oregon dunes with
his own Cape Cod, which he has
long taken an interest in."
The White House announcement
said an advance team of White
House aides would embark next
week on a planning expedition.
It said Kennedy would visit
projects "devoted to the develop
ment of resources and energy, to
the protection of wilderness and
wildlife, to the preservation of the
natural beauty of stream, forest,
desert and shoreline, and to the
enlarged public opportunities for
touring and recreation."

Rail selection
tossed into
Kennedys lap
WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi
dent Kennedy today took on the
unwanted job of naming three
neutral "middlemen" to an arbi
tration board that will decide the
key issues in the four-year-old
railroad work rule dispute.
The problem was tossed back
to the White Houso Friday when
rail union and management failed
to agree on selection of the neu
tral members for the board.
Under the terms of the rail leg
islation passed by Congress last
Wednesday, the President was to
pick the three members if the
unions and management dead
locked over the issue. One of the
middlemen chosen by the presi
dent will act as chairman of the
seven-man arbitration board.
The union-management impasse
came as no surprise.
Government officials already
were considering possible appoint
ees when union and management
officials announced Friday they
could not reach agreement.
Among those mentioned as pos
sible chairman were Milton S.
Eisenhower, president of Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore,
brother of the former president.
Others reported under considera
tion were Harvard President
Nathan S. Pusey, retired federal
judges E. Barrett Prettyman and
Harold Medina, and former Su
preme Court Justice Harold Bur
ton. Also mentioned for possible ap
pointment to the board were
James Healy, Harvard business
school ppjfessor, and James J.
Reynolds, assistant labor secre
tary.
The railroads have chosen J. E.
Wolfe, who headed their negotia
tion team in the stalemated talks,
and Guy W. Knight, a vice presi
dont of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, as their board members.

Gen. Horn quits
as head of UN's
Yemen mission
BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI)-Maj.
Gen. Carl C. Von Horn resigned
as head of the United Nations
mission to tho Yemen today amid
charges by highly-placed U.N.
sources that the mission faces
total failure because of bungling
at New York headquarters.
The U.N. mission was sent to
Yemen to try to end United Arab
Republic and Saudi Arabian in
volvement in that Middle Eastern
nation's civil conflict. Tho mis
sion's two-month deadline expires
Wednesday.
The high sources, who asked
that their identities be withheld,
said the mission "faces total fail
ure because of administrative
stupidities" by U.N. headquarters
in New York. U.N. headquarters
was accused of ' issuing dehber
ate lies about the work of the
mission."
The charges came to light Fri
day, shortly after Von Horn an
nounced his resignation for "per
sonal reasons." The resignation
became effective today.
Von Horn, a Swede, headed the
U.N. truce supervision organiza
tion in the Middle East for five
years. He also served briefly as
U.N. commander in the Congo.
Fighting broke out in Yemen
last September when the Imam's
palace guard tried to seize con
trol of the regime. Loyal Yemeni
tribesmen supported by Saudi
Arabia resisted the seizure while
U.A.R. forces backed the new
republican regime.
The United Nations, under a se
curity council mandate, sent
mission into the tiny nation to
try to get the U.A.R. and Saudi
forces out.
But high U.N sources said here
that New York headquarters ig
nored evidence indicating Russian
pilots were flying bombing mis
sions for the republican aide.

Doubt is cast
on report put
outby agency
SAIGON, Viet Nam (UPI)
Vietnamese gathered in downtown '
Saigon today at a government
rally called in support of the
crackdown on Buddhists and im
position of martial law.
The government-controlled Viet
Nam press agency said 200,000
persons jammed city hall square
in front of the U. S. Information
Office. Unofficial sources put the
crowd at about 30,000.
Reliable sources said the rally
was organized on orders of Ngo
Dinh Nhu, the powerful brother of
President Ngo Dinh Diem, to dem
onstrate support for the govern
ment's policies in a time of crisis.
Play for Backing
The government's play for popu
lar backing came as diplomatic
sources said U. S. Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge probably will
meet with Diem within the next
few days for a showdown on the
Buddhist crisis.
The sources said Lodge is ex
pected to demand the removal of
Nhu as the only way to end the
crisis and press ahead with the
government's drive to wipe out
the Communist Viet Cong guerril
las.
Nhu, who heads South Viet
Nam's secret police, is thought to
hold most of the real power fol
lowing the government's raids on
Buddhist pagodas and mass ar
rests of opposition elements last
week.
Littl. Emotion
About 10 government-controlled
organizations participated in the
rally. Most of the crowd appeared
to be civil servants or soldiers
in civilian clothes. They showed
little emotion.
Speakers of the various organi
zations praised the government's
decision to impose martial law 11
days ago and denounced Buddhist
leaders as "political speculators."
They urged all Vietnamese tn
'give all-out support to President
Ngo Dinh Diem, the people's only
leader."
About 10,000 of those attending
were blue-uniformed members of
the Republican Youth Organisa
tion headed by Nhu, or members
of the women s solidarity move
ment, headed by Madame Nhu,
the politically influential sister-in-law
of the president.
One of the girls at the rally was
Madame Nhu's daughter, Ngo
Dinh Le Thuy.
Fall to Appear
It had been expected that Nhu
himself or Mme. Nhu, would at
tend, but neither put in an ap
pearance. Their 18-year-old daugh
ter attended with a group of Mme.
Nhu's women's paramilitary
corps.
Diplomatic sources interpreted
the government's removal of gold
and foreign exchange from Saigon
banks to the presidential palace
as a precaution against a head
on clash with the United States
over current policy. The sources
said the withdrawal of the cur
rency is in preparation for ship
ping it out of the country.
The sources said Lodge will de
liver to Diem the demands out
lined in a Voice of America
broadcast to Viet Nam but
later repudiated by the State De
partment. Lyons president
