Union threatens
over
hidden camera
. NEW YORK (UPI) A tele
phone union local today threat
ened to seek a nationwide strike
against the American Telephone
and Telegraph Co. (AT&T) unless
the company promised not to
take pictures in men's wash
rooms. A secret camera had been in
stalled by AT&T to catch a man
who had been scrawling obscene
drawings on the walls of a wash
room here. The camera was re
moved after employes, spotted it
in a ventilation duct and angrily
accused the firm of invasion of
privacy.
The warning of a possible union
move over the controversial cam
era was sounded by Kevin J.
McEnery, president of Local 1150
of the Communication Workers of
America (CWA).
McEnery said the local walkout
"may come as early as Friday
night," if AT&T does not promise
in writing never to use cameras
in washrooms again. He said the
national union would then be
asked to join in the strike.
At a membership meeting
Wednesday night, the local au
thorized strike action but did not
set a deadline on its demand for
the company's written promise.
McEnery, however, said local of
ficials would not wait more than
a week for a reply and the walk
out could start this week.
AT&T officials, he declared,
have insisted the camera instal
lation was legal and ethical and
"they would do it again if they
saw fit."
McEnery, whose local has 3,400
members in long-lines depart
ments in the New York City area,
emphasized the union was as
much opposed to obscene draw
ings as the company, but said the
use of the camera was "entirely
unethical."

Salem group
seeks okay
for ski area
A Salem group has made appli
cation to the U.S. Forest Service
for the construction of a ski area
and facilities on the high eastern
slope of Three Fingered Jack, on
the Cascade skyline north of the
Santiam Pass.
Through Dale Pierson, president,
the Western Star Development
Company of the Marion County
city has asked that 1200 acres on
the Central Oregon face of the
glaciated volcano be set aside for
the ski center use.
It is proposed by the Salem firm
to construct a 6000-foot chair lift,
a Pomalift of the T-bar type, 2000
feet in length; a lodge and other
facilities.
Cost of the first phase of the
development has been set at $250,'
000.
Required to make the area ac
cessible by car would be a road
about four miles in length, lead
ing north along the Cascade crest
from the Santiam Highway.
The ski area would be in a high
valley which ranges in elevation

Grant-in-aid
check presented
for airport job
A grant-in-aid check of $3,319
for municipal airport repairs was
formally presented Wednesday to
City Manager Hal Puddy by the
State Board of Aeronautics.
The grant, approved by the
Board last spring, pays for ma
terials used in resurfacing ap
proximately the south half of the
airport's 3,800-foot runway, a proj
ect already completed. Puddy
said that re-surfacing of the north
half was completed a couple of
years ago.
The check was presented by
Ralph McGinnis, assistant Board
director from Salem. Alva Good
rich, local attorney and member
of the State Board, participated
in ceremonies.
The Board is also cooperating
with the city in plans to extend
the runway some 900 feet in a
northerly direction. Funds for
this purpose have been budgeted,
Puddy said, but the city needs
additional monies to pave the ex
tension. The State Board has ap
plied for federal assistance.
Other airport improvements,
recommended recently by a spec
ial airport committee, are in the
offing, the manager said. The
city plans to grade two emergen
cy strips, closed for several
years, in preparations for re-open-
mg them. Also scheduled is a
weed-killing program around run
way lights.

President Kennedy today at
tacked the electric power policies
of the Eisenhower administration.
The touring Democratic Chief
Executive seemed to show new
zest in his contacts with western
voters.
Until today, Kennedy's criti
cism of the Republicans had been
somewhat muted. He devoted
himself largely to praise for
Democrats and what they had
done to preserve and advance
conservation and reclamation,
and protect natural resources,
particularly in the upper Plains
States.
His speech prepared for deliv
ery here today took a different
and stronger tack, however. Ken
nedy was specific in his criticism
of Eisenhower administration
power policies and practices. At
one point ha referred to "blun
ders" of the years immediately
preceding his election to the
White House. And he spoke of
exploitation by private interests
permitted by another administra
tion.
He did not call the former
president by name, but he did
name one of the Eisenhower
Cabinet officers the late In
terior Secretary Douglas McKay.
He reported proudly how the cur
rent Interior Secretary, Stewart
L. Udall, had replaced McKay's
policies to the public s benetit.
Kennedy also praised Secretary
of Agriculture Orville Freeman
for having quickly dispelled "the
cloud of political control which
had hung over the loan authority
of the Rural Electriticauon Ad
ministration" when the Kennedy
administration entered office.

Fire clanger
is increasing
in area woods
The fire danger was rapidly in
creasing in Central Oregon woods
today, result of unseasonable
warm weather and low humidity.
As a result, hunters moving in
to forest camps were cautioned
to use the greatest care with
fire.
In the Deschutes country, vir
tually all lookouts, except those
at high elevations, were occupied.
There were no fires this morn
ing, and the atmosphere was
clear.
Foresters are especially fearful
of fires that may sweep into the
timber from areas now covered
by heavy, dry grass that is now
highly inflammable.
The grass cover this year is
the heaviest In many seasons, re

Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-Maine,
a subcommittee member, said
Valachi was "perfectly coopera
tive" in describing his former un
derworld connections.
Muskie and Valachi spoke in
a kind of "code" which required
frequent Interruptions to make
sure what ho meant. He said,
for example, "family" when he
mf ant gang and used other gang
land terms which wore unfamiliar
to the senators.
In deference to the gangland of
fer for his death, Valachi was
flanked by U.S. marshals when
he arrived at the caucus room.
He wore a dark gray suit, white
shirt and maroon tie.
His ruddy face was expression
less until reporters and photog
raphers began swarming around
the convoy. He grimaced when
the newsmen pressed in around
him.
After Valachi entered the cau
cus room through a roped-off cor
ridor, two Capitol policemen took
stations at the doorway.
Valachi will testify publicly for
the first time Friday.
The special security precautions,
rivaling those afforded a presi
dent, were taken to insure the
safety of Valachi, who violated
a blood oath to turn informer.
Today's brief excursion from
seclusion was Valachi's first since
it became known that he had
been "singing" to federal author
ities in violation of the Maf
ia code which inflicts death on
snydicate members who spill
family secrets.
Subcommittee chairman John
L. McClellan, D-Ark., who had a
private hour-long meeting with
Valachi Tuesday, said the former
syndicate executioner and nar
cotics peddler could give the pan
el particulars of more than one
unsolved murder.
Valachi was described by Mc
Clellan as a long-time "soldier
in Cosa Nostra's legions and not
a syndicate boss. He was serv
ing a sentence for murder in the
federal penitentiary at Atlanta
when he killed a fellow prisoner
he thought was a Cosa Nostra
executioner out to get him. It
was after the slaying that he de
cided to tell all to federal authorities.
Lake
Sugar factory
ripped apart
by explosion
MOSES LAKE, Wash. (UPD
Rescue workers probed through
pulverized concrete and twisted
steel today, trying to locate vic
tims of an explosion which tors
apart a seven-story sugar factory
Wednesday and left at least four
dead.
Three bodies had been recov
ercd this morning and a fourth
had been located.
At least three men were miss
ing and crews, using giant cranes,
were digging through the rubble.
"I don't see how anyone could
be alive in there," said a fireman.
However, the Washington State
Patrol said there remained a faint
hone that some of the missing
had somehow survived the tre
mendous blast that ripped the
metal walls from the building.
The bodies of two men, Albert
Lapp and John Henry, both of
Moses Lake, were recovered
Wednesday evening.
Labor by Floodlight
Workers, who labored by flood
light through the night, brought
out the body of Leonard Darrell
Abel, Moses Lake, this morning.
The body of Jack Cain remained
in the wreckage.
The blast ripped through the
$15 million facility, located three
miles east of here and owned by
I the Utah and Idaho Sugar Co.,
about t p.m. Wednesday, The
plant was scheduled to begin
processing this year's multimil.
lion dollar sugar beet crop today.
The blast left four of eight 150
foot high sugar beet storage silos'
nothing but jagged stumps of
from 20 to 30 feet high. Surround
ing fields were littered with
chunks of glass brick, twisted
steel and concrete from the silos.
Nothing But Skeleton
The main building of the plant.
located only a few yards from
the silos, had all the concrete
blown away from it and was
nothing but a skeleton of twisted
structural steel. Two cars parked
nearby were flattened.
The casualties might have been
higher had it not been for the
fact that the regular work force
of 250 men quit work a half hour
before the explosion occurred.
At the time of the explosion
there were 50 persons on the
premises. Some were putting in
overtime for the sugar firm and
others employed by a sheet metal
firm were working In one of the
silos. Henry was the owner of the
sheet metal firm.
Ham Simmons, an assistant fire
marshal for Grant County Rural
District 5, said. "Any actual es
timate of damage will have to
be made in the daylight."
Soundtd Like Bomb
One survivor of the blast, Paul
Butler, an employe of the sugar
firm, said the explosion sounded
"like an atomic bomb." He said
the interior of the factory was a
mass of twisted tubes.
Cause of the blast still was not
fully explained hours after it oc
curred, but firemen said it hap
pened in a silo partially filled
with sugar beets near where the
sheet metal firm crew was work
ing. There were reports, uncon
firmed, that the workmen had
been using torches of some sort.
The plant, built 10 years ago,
was swinging into full production
as sugar beet harvest got under
way in the Columbia Basin of
Central Washington this week.
The plant had been expected to
handle about 6,500 tons of beets
per day.
President Douglas Love of the
company indicated at Salt Lake
City. Utah, that damage was not
as heavy as observers at the
scene considered it. He said the
plant would be back In operation
"within a reasonably short time."
One of those missing was ten
tatively identified as Don Hodg
son, also of Moses Lake.
