Man burned
in trailer
house blast
A propane gas explosion in an
18-foot trailer house Monday rock
ed neighboring houses in the Hill
Street-Franklin area, and brought
some 20 city firemen to the scene.
Del Shawver, occupant of t h e
trailer, reportedly suffered burns
U the hands and arms when the
gas burner he was lighting ex
ploded about 3:55 p.m. The impact
split the structure's seams, blew
out all windows and dropped the
floor level. Only a davenport was
aflame when firemen arrived, and
they extinguished it with a boost
er hose.
Firemen said Shawver received
medical treatment for his burns
at a doctor's office. The trailer
is the property of Glen H. Slack,
623 Hill Street.
According to firemen, Slack
carries insurance on the trailer.
No objections
noted at hearing
No objections were raised dur
ing two public hearings on pro
posed amendments to the city zon
ing ordinance, held by the Bend
Planning Commission Monday
night.
One of the amendments would
permit construction of printing,
lithograph and publishing firms in
all city commercial zones. The
other could give apartment build
ers more leeway in their selection
of locales by permitting apart
ment or multiple-family dwelling
construction in zones which now
prohibit these dwellings. The
question of city benefit would de
termine whether permission is
granted.
Chairman Vinton Green remind
ed commissioners and visiting
realtors and apartment builders
that a Commission subcommittee
is investigating the alleged short
age of apartments in Bend. Dr.
Edward Timm, subcommittee
man, said the committee probab
ly will alleviate the shortage by
providing additional apartment
zones in the city.
Dr. Timm's remark was in re
ply to a complaint voiced by
James Lance, Land Mart Realty,
that Bend lacks suitable zones for
the location of apartments.
Albania makes
China demand
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI)
Albania demanded today that
the General Assembly at its cur
rent session take up the ques
tion of seating Communist China
in place of Nationalist China.
The Albanian delegation de
manded that the China issue
perennial item before the assem
bly, be inscribed on the assem

and urgent question."
The Albanians demanded the
"restoration of the legitimate
rights of the People's Republic of

Key Southern
solon backs
test treaty
WASHINGTON (UPD-The nu
clear test ban treaty gained sup
port today from another key
Southern Democrat when Sen.
Sam J. Ervin, N.C., announced
that he would support the pact,
though "without great enthusi
asm." Ervin's announcement in a Sen
ate speech brought to 82 the num
ber of firm or probable votes for
the treaty. Ervin had been re
garded as one of the fence-sitters
before today's announcement.
Ervin said his treaty endorse
ment was "the most difficult de
cision I have had to make since
coming to the Senate nine years
ago."
He made his decision known
as Sen. Stuart Symington, D-Mo.,
the nation's first Air Force secre
tary, defended the pact on one of
its most debated points the abil
ity of U.S. missile sites to sur
vive a nuclear attack. He said
he is confident tthat the Russians
do not know any more about
such vulnerabilities than the Unit
ed States.
Senate leaders hope to bring
the treaty to a vote by Friday.
Democratic Leader Mike Mans
field, Mont., reasserted this tar
get today to newsmen after the
weekly White House legislative
conference.
Mansfield said he anticipated
votes this week on proposed res
ervations and understandings
and if a final vote is not at
tained on the treaty itself, then
it will come "perhaps next
week."
Symington, who had access to
secret military testimony before
two committees on the treaty,
said in a speech prepard for Sen
ate delivery, "The evidence is
that the Soviets know no more
than we do about such vulner
abilities." He challenged one of the prin
cipal anti-treaty arguments, say
ing, "The evidence is that they
have not conducted "any large
yield tests of this kind."
Treaty opponents have stressed
that the Soviet Union probably
knows much more than the Unit
ed States about super-bomb ef
fects because of the Russians'
1961 - 1962 atmospheric testing of
high-yield weapons.
Speeches by Symington and
Sen. J. Strom Thurmond, D-S.C,
a sharp opponent of the pact,
highlighted today's Senate debate
on the treaty. Senate leaders are
shooting for a Friday ratification
vote.
The treaty cleared its first
parliamentary hurdle Monday
with backers citing the birth of
the Fischer quintuplets as a sym
bolic reason for its ratification.
The Senate took the parliamen
tary step when it agreed unani
mously to accept the actual text
of the treaty without amendment
and begin consideration of the
separate ratification resolution.
This action came as Sen.
George S. McGovern, D-S. D.,
said he would support the treaty
as a "concrete gesture" to help
protect the Fischer quintuplets
born in his state and "all other
children from radioactive fallout.
"Perhaps there is no greater
gift that I can offer as one of
the elected representatives of this
family than to work in every
wav for a world where these
children. . .indeed all the children
of the earth, can breathe clean
air and live free from the blight
of hatred and war," McGovern
told the senate.
Senate Democratic leader Mike
Mansfield of Montana also noted
the ouints' birth and expressed
hope the Senate would give con
siderable thought to "tnose wno
are coming up" in the future.
Williamson
offers plan
on parking
An overhead concrete ramp
running above street level along
Oregon Avenue from Brooks
Street to Lave Road is a scheme
submitted Monday by Eddie Wil
liamson to alleviate Bend down
town parking difficulties.
Williamson, of Eddie's Sales 4
Service, presented a draftsman's
sketch of his proposed plan Mon
day to City Manager Hal Puddy.
As designed, the 65 foot wide
ramp would accommodate some
220 cars in stalls of 8-foot width.
The cars would get up on the
ramp via entrances at each end.
Puddy said the city will have es
timates made on the cost of Wil
liamson's ramp. He will then ad
vise Williams to seek Chamber of
Commerce support for his idea.
The Chamber is currently back
ing a plan which would provide
additional off-street parking in
i four downtown locations.

persons today smashed windows
at the Indonesian Embassy here,
burned an Indonesian consular of

the Malayan and British embas

Boycott seen
losing ground
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPI) A
white boycott of three newly
integrated schools in this racial
ly-tense city appeared today to be
losing ground.
Ramsay High School, where one
Negro began classes a week ago,
reported that its entire student
body of 852 was present follow
ing a decline in attendance Mon
day, apparently caused by the
apprehension after Sunday's
church bombing that killed four
persons.
West End High, scene of bois
terous demonstrations by white
students, was quiet and half of
the 1,440 member student body
including two Negro girls was in
class today.
At Graymont Elementary
School, where two Negro broth
ers were in classes, attendance
climbed to 175 of the 249 en
rolled. City school authorities were op
timistic that the rise in attend
ance would continue.
The city was calm this morn
ing following another night of
sporadic shots and rock throwing
in Negro sections and an emo
tional rally by 1,000 Negroes who
voted to stage a segregation pro
test march on Uie Alabama State
Capitol at Montgomery.
Negro leaders said the plan re
quired "more thinking" before
any formal commitment.
The Rev. F. L. Shuttlesworth,
one of the leaders, said today it
was hoped the march could be
staged soon but it definitely
would not be this week.
The proposal was suggested to
the emotional crowd by speakers
at a rally during pleas for Ne
groes to return to the discipline
of non-violence in fighting racial
discrimination.

New signals

The Oregon State Highway De
