Thornton's pro posed ballot title for the initia tive measure to close the state's waters to commercial salmon and steelhead fishing. It substituted the title pro posed by opponents of the mea sure. The action paves the way for the Save Our Salmon and Steel head, Inc., to begin circulation of petitions to get the contro versial measure on the Novem ber, 1964, ballot. The initiative petition was filed with the secretary of state on Aug. 8. The group has until July 2, 1964, to gather 37,096 valid signatures. It proposes to close all the state's inland waters, including the Columbia River, to com mercial salmon and steelhead fishing. The title assigned by Thorn ton read "Prohibits commercial fishing for salmon and steelhead in all Oregon inland waters, in cluding boundary rivers. Pro hibits all commercial dealings in fish taken illegally." The Columbia River Salmon and Tuna Packers Association challenged the final four words of Thornton's title, and asked that "fish taken in prohibited areas" be substituted. Today's Supreme C o u r t ac tion made the substitution. Justice Hall S. Lusk, with Justice Kenneth J. O'Connell joining, dissented, and said Thornton's title met legal re quirements, and the court should not disapprove a uue "simply because it feels it can write a better one. The majority opinion by Jus tice George Rossman said the lanmiace in the substituted title "minimizes the possibility Wat EYani'Urn arirl Pnllimhlis flllin a reader will surmise that un- ant) tne Kentucky gubernatorial less tms measure is auupieu, 'race,, the White House said wis could ! resulted in war Nikita JFK reported happy with vote results WASHINGTON (UPI)-Prcsi-dent Kennedy and other Demo cratic leaders exulted today in the party's performance in tak ing the big prizes in Tuesday's elections. Kennedy was p i c tured as "very satisfied" with the outcome of what National Chairman John M. Bailey called "clear tests of party strength." Republicans contended that the GOP victories in a number of iocal contests showed solid evidence of a grass roots re surgence that could pave their way to the White House next year. President Kennedy was espe cially pleased with the Demo cratic victories in mayoralty races in Philadelphia, San MELV1N I.

(UPI) -Two Great Northern freight trains collided head-on here today and two men were killed and two others were injured. Great Northern officials said a 16-car local freight did not go into a siding as it was supposed to. and proceeded down the mainline where it struck a 144- car through freight. Killed were the engineer ana fireman of the local. They were identified as wick Winder, Spokane, and Kay Barnhardt, East wenatcnee, en gineer and fireman, respective ly. Injured were the engineer of the through freight, John Bergman, and the fireman, Ro bert Griffin, both of Spokane. GN officials said Bergman suffered head injuries and was in serious condition at the Quin- cy Hospital. Griffin suffered foot injuries ana appearea 10 ue 111 satisfactory condition, attend ants said. Four cars on the Iocal, known as the Alcoa Local because it hauls supplies to the Aluminum Co. of America plant at Wenat chee, were derailed and the lo comotive was damaged extensively. STRIKE SETTLED PORTLAND (UPI) -A one day strike by Local 41 of the International Jewelry Workers Union ended here Tuesday. The local accepted a three-year con tract. The President, who stayed up late listening to results, was not quoted on the Democratic win in the Mississippi gover nor s race, however. Both can didates there ran on an anti Kennedy platform. The White House took espe cial note of the Democratic vic tory, however narrow, in Ken tucky where Kennedy was out polled by Richard Nixon in 1960. I Bailey said the victories in Kentucky and Philadelphia were "repudiation of Republi can efforts to win votes by rac ist appeals . . ." Bailev said the Democrats won the important races "while there were the expecte.1 num ber of off-year turnovers in lo cal elections on local issues." The Republican National Committee said, however, that "we made dramatic inroads in areas known as Democratic strongholds and in many other contests a definite Republican trend is apparent." "The whole picture is reflec tive of the grass roots disillu sionment with the Kennedy ad ministration," the GOP said. A spokesman for Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) said today the results showed Kennedy had no real reason to worry about getting a strong civil rights bill through Con gress. "The northern white re volt just did not materialize," the liberal group said. DRILLING DUE HALSEY. Ore.

SEIZE PROPERTY JAKARTA, Indonesia (UPI) President Sukarno has or dered seizure of all rubber- processing properties in Indo nesia which are owned wholly or in part by Malaysian citi zens or managed from Malay Nearly 500 years before Columbus1' Viking community in Newfoundland found U.S. sends 3 new convoys over highway BERLIN (UPI) The Soviet Union lifted a 41-hour blockade of a U.S. Army convoy today, ending the latest crisis over Western rights of access to Ber lin that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev said could have set off a war. The United States promptly sent three new convoys rolling across the 110 miles of super highway that link Berlin with West Germany in a renewed demonstration of Its war-won right to move in and out of tha divided city on Its own terms. As the new convoys moved unimpeded Khrushchev told a group of visiting American cor poration heads in Moscow that if the United Slates naa ineo ra force the convoy through th autobahn checkpoint the vehi cles would have had to roll "over our dead bodies" and might hava started a war. . ... Daffbw-at Mava Khrushchev said the Russians agreed to lift the blockade this morning only after the Ameri cans had agreed to obey Soviet safety control procedures. Tha U.S. commandant In Berlin, who termed the Soviet action a deliberate move, said flatly that the Americans had not complied in any way with So viet demands. It is difficult to say what would have happened if they had not agreed to that pro cedure." Khrushchev said. "It is possible that you and I would not be here today." But Khrushchev quickly add ed a conciliatory note: "We didn't want friction of that sort. Our desire Is to have good and friendly relations." As the three new convoys two moving westward out of Berlin and one moving east ward into Berlin rolled across the Soviet-controlled 110-mile-long autobahn to West Germany without delay or harassment, the U.S. commandant In Berlin said the latest Russian block ade was "no misunderstand ing." Maj. Gen. James Polk told a news conference after the blockaded convoy reached the city in the early hours tms morning that the Soviet "are trying to call the shots on the autobahn." Then he added In an Icily an gry tone: "We are determined they will not." He said the Western Allies the United States, France and Britain had agreed on a uni form set of practices for auto bahn control of convoys ana had Informed the Soviets of them on Oct. 29. Reasonable Ru!t He added that the rules art "reasonable" and "do not sub mit our troops to degradation or harassment." Polk said an earlier blockade of an American convoy In mid October "just might possibly have been a misunderstanding by the Soviets." "There was absolutely tw misunderstanding this time, he said. out because ot a nine-nour walkout by an estimated 200, 000 utility workers, and authori ties sent out extra police in an effort to keep things rolling.

The settlement was founded nearly 500 years before Christo pher Columbus here Tuesday. He found it after years of misdirected effort by studying a "road map" made by Leif and reported in detail by the sagas. The sagas are legendary Norse narratives, handed down by word of mouth from genera tion to generation. The sagas say Lrif and his fleet of longboats iiled from western Greenland around 1000 A.D., arrived at tha coast of Labrador, sailed down the coast until they passed a steep sided island in a fairly large fiord, and wound up a short distance beyond at a sandy strand fringed by luxuriant grasslands. According lo lni lin guists, tit "via" M Vinland meant grass. ii Hjhng to Dr. Junius rt Ameri can Museum Natural His tory, If you follow the route de scribed in the sagas to the site excavated by Ingstad, "you can't miss it. Nevertheless, "it was almost a miracle," Bird said, that Ing stad found anything at all to unearth. The old Norse build ings, nine houses and a primi tive smithy, were built of sandy sod which long since has crum bled, leaving only their outlines plus some typical Norse hearths and the rusty remains of Viking iron smelting. & If, in the nearly 10 centuries since the settlement was aban doned, somebody had planted potatoes or other crops over the old building sites, the evi dence would have been de stroyed forever. Instad's findings, authenticat ed after three years of pain staking excavation, were re ported at a news conference sponsored by the National Geo graphic Societv, which helped to finance his 1963 work.
