Examining seminar room in wing are, recover most of jewels in N.Y. robbery NEW YORK (UPI)- Police, aided indirectly by a witness to Friday's million-dollar-plus jewely robbery, Monday night recovered most of the loot in side a boiler in an empty lot on Manhattan's West Side.. " The" value of the recovered loot was not immediately de termined, and police did not disclose the name of the wit ness. The lot is near the spot where five bandits, two of them dressed like policemen, stopped a station wagon of the AAA Jewelers Messenger Service by tricking the driver into thinking he had made a traffic viola tion. The bandits then forced six guards out of the station wagon and made off with the jewels. Police said the witness saw the stickup from the fourth floor of a nearby building but did not ronnrt it to Dolice. However, he told a friend who Monday night rummaged around tne lot unui he found a bag of jewelry. Police said he then contacted his employer, Schuster's Ex nrMK. ad iacent to the lot, and authorities were notified. Offi cers said they hoped to ques tion the witness later to get a description of the bandits. Police already have recovered at loast Half of the stolen gems and some gold bars taken in ; the holdup. They were louna in i the station wagon the day oi the holdup. The value of the entire ship ment of gems, which was being ken to downtown firms after cleaning in Manhattan's mid town jewelry center, has not yet been determined. Estimates range from $1.5 million to $3 million. 2 convicts try escape at prison LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (UPI) Two convicts attempted to es rane trom the federal peniten tiary today by using a ladder to climb over a 40-foot wall. They were halted at the top of the wall when a guard shot one of them in the legs. The general prison alarm sounded as the men scrambled up a ladder to the top of the wall. After the convicts ignored orders to halt, guards from two towers began firing rifles at them. Robert Robbins, 28, a con victed kidnaper from San An tonio, Tex., was shot in both lees as he reached the top of the wall. His companion. Quitman Strickland, 23. stopped and trrahhpd Robbins to keep him from falling off the wall. Strick land, a convicted bank robber from Jacksonville, Fla., sur rendered without resistance. Rnv Moore, associate wards said Strickland' and Robbins had the help of fi or six other convicts in the escape attempt. Ceremonies held at BSHS as new wing put in use Ceremonies marking the opening of a new senior high school wing, which will elimi nate the scattering of students to other areas for classes, were conducted this morning in the school auditorium. All but completed and ready to accommodate students is "Wing B," a 12,280 square-foot addition which will house Eng lish, history and language class rooms, seminar rooms, a lan guage lab and student body cen ter. Ceremonies were held prior to classes this morning, with ad dresses to the assembled stu dent body delivered by Ray Tal bot, principal; Richard Way man, chairman of the school board, and R. E. Jewell, super intendent of schools, Bend dis trict. Jewell expressed appreciation to students for their patience during the past two years, when Fifth amendment taken by Estes when asked about influence use WASHINGTON (UPI) -Billie Sol Estes, the rags-to-riches Texas farm financier, took the Fifth Amendment today when Senate investigators asked whether he used influence in high places to build his now- toppe(j farrn empire. First in private, and then at a public hearing, the ex-tycoon pleaded possible self-incrimination to questions by the Senate investigations subcommittee. The subcommittee had suspend ed a long inquiry into Estes' cot ton allotment operations about a year ago. As the hearine eot underway, he told Chairman John L. Mc Clellan. D-Ark., that he was the same Billie Sol Estes who fig ured in the subcommittee's long inauirv on how he acquired pooled cotton allotments from farmers displaced by govern ment activities in other areas. McClellan, who had already outlined Estes' refusal to testi fy at the closed-door session, then asked fcstes wnen ne nrsi became interested in pooled cot ton allotments. "I respectfully refuse to an swer the question on me grounds that it might tend to incriminate me, sir," Estes re plied. Questions asked the west Tex as farm tveoon in the closed- door session were understood to have centered on Estes' opera tions in acquiring cotton allot ments from tarmers wno nao been displaced from cotton farming elsewhere in the coun try because of government ac tivity. Estes arrived promptly for his appointment. He was ac companied by subcommittee counsel Don O'DonneU and an other companion.

Talbot noted that the new fa cilities now make it possible to accommodate all of the approx imate 935 students on campus. Previously the school was equipped to handle only 700 stu dents. Wayman pointed out that the new wing ties in appropriately with a student - self - direction program, which grants students more freedom in selection ot classes and free study periods, The wing is part of a $700,000 bond issue program approved by school district voters in 1962. Included are the new Bear Creek elementary school, senior high additions and a new shop building. Contractor for the extension is the D e G r e e Construction Company. tes stand when he said "we will have no comment." McClellan said the subcom mittee had accumulated an ex tensive record on Estes' cotton allotment operations and felt that it was important that Estes be given an opportunity to testi fy before the record is closed. McClellan's group heard other witnesses during four months of 1962 hearings on Es tes' grain storage, cotton allot ment and fertilizer storage tank transactions, but never heard Estes. The hearings ended in September of last year, but the record was kept open for Estes' appearance. Estes stuck to a firm "no comment" on all questions as he boarded a commercial plane in Dallas Monday for Washing ton. Estes was sentenced to 8 years imprisonment on convic tion of fraud in a state court at Tyler, Tex. He received a 15 year sentence on fraud and conspiracy charges on bis con viction in federal court at El Paso. Both have been appealed and he remains free on bond. Barton offers By Zan Stark UPI Staff Writer SALEM (UPI) -A plan to re cess the legislature to allow the Tax Committee time to draft a sales tax program for referral to the people was suggested to day by House Speaker Clarence Barton, D-Coqwille.

Nine hunters and their pack ers were marooned when a storm dumped two feet of snow in the area 30 miles east of here Thursday and Friday. Drifts were up to 20 feet deep in some places. Bob Waltermire, operator of Hillcrest Aircraft Co. here, flew to the Minam Lodge airstrip Monday in hopes of picking the men up. When they had not ar rived by noon, Waltermire flew up the canyon looking for them. He found them at Red s Horse Ranch upper camp, some five miles from where t'.:jy had been stranded. Waltermire said he then landed at the main ranch and operator Red Higgins talked by phone to the camp crew, who told him the hunters were working their way down to the main ranch. The pilot waited until nearly dark before learning they had camped for the night about 10 miles from the main ranch. "They can't be hurting for food, they passed up two camps," Waltermire said. "I don't know why they're moving so slow unless their horses are played out or some one is hurt," he added. The snow Is only two or three inches deep in the area through which they are traveling, he said. Control board okays drawings SALEM (UPI) -The Board of Control today approved working drawings for the Oregon Correc tional Institution's proposed 101 cell unit to cost $507,787. Bids for the project will be awarded in December, unless the special session of the leg islature withdraws the funds. The cell unit is one of the governor's priority construction projects. -Mmmmmmmm Time to move quickly to make the au sterity cuts recommended by Gov. Mark Hatfield. The legislature then would re cessrather than adjourn so the I n t e r i m Tax Committee could draft new tax laws. When the committee bills were ready, the session could be reconvened to take action on the measures. Under Barton's suggestion, the new revenue bills would be sub mitted for voter approval during 14. so the 1965 legislature could draft new budgets based fin the new revenue program if it won voter approval. U.S. convoy not troubled by Russians BERLIN (UPI)-A U.S. Army convoy sent out to test Russian intentions today passed through two Russian checkpoints on the Berlin highway without harass ment. The convoy of 54 men in 13 vehicles traveled along the 100 mile highway through East Ger many from Berlin to the West without dismounting for a head count as the Russians demand ed last week. Informed sources said t h e convoy passed without incident Russian checkpoints outside Berlin and on the East-West German border. The Russians did not demand the convoy dis- dismount to be counted, the sources said. The convoy cleared the Rus sians Babelsburg checkpoint, just outside Berlin, in about one hour, and the Russian check point at Marienborn, on the East-West German border, in about 80 minutes. Western Determination The convoy was considered an expression of Western Allied de termination to keep Berlin routes open. This was considered signifi cant because there were more passengers in today's convoy than in the convoy halted by the Russians Nov. 4 and held for 41 hours. In the convoy halted last week there were 20 passengers. loday s convoy comprised 54 men in 13 vehicles. This includ ed 26 drivers and cc-drivers. and 28 passengers. ine convoy was regarded as a test of Russian intentions be cause of this composition. The Western Allies have told the j- , ..

Moscow Radio said Sunday the Western claim to "the right of uncontrolled passage" over the highway was "illegal. East German Communist leader Walter Ulbricht Monday in a speech to his Council of State said "we will not put up with the U.S. government inter fering in the domestic affairs of the German Democratic rtepuD- lic through provocations by the West Berlin occupiers on tne autobahn of the GDR." Both Radio Moscow and Ul bricht called for conclusion of a German peace treaty that would end Western rights in Berlin. One bodi of two r I es Touna COOS BAY, Ore. (UPI) - A 43-foot San Francisco-bound cab in cruiser capsized near the en trance to Coos Bay early today and a body believed to be that of one of the two men aboard was found in the surf. The body was being taken to a funeral home here. A distress signal from the ves sel, the Avanti, was received about 2 a.m. Later a stem sec tion was found washed up on the beach and personal effects belonging to the skipper, R.F. McCarty of Seattle, were lo cated, according to the Coast Guard in Seattle. Also aboard was Norman Ledger, also of Seattle. The Avanti was en route from Seattle to San Francisco when it ran Into heavy seas about a mile off the entrance to Coos Bay. draff Sales tax legislative recess plan Barton made it clear he want ed the special session to settle the fiscal crisis at hand first, before devoting Its attention to a new revenue program. He said he favored the auster ity program recommended by Hatfield as a temporary mea sure including reductions in basic school support, and enact ment of revenue speedup. But he warned adoption of a one-shot speedup of withholding tax collections would "compound the problems facing the 1965 leg islature." He said a $418 million budget Yal professor a Maurice Shelton selected for school board vacancy Maurice Shelton, manager of the Bend branch of the First National Bank, was named last night to fill a vacancy on the Bend District School Board. Action by the district board on Shelton's selection was un animous. He will replace Gordon Mc Kay, who resigned at the last meeting of the board. Shelton will serve until the next school election in May of next year. In 1958 Shelton served as chairman of a special Citizens Committee which made a de tailed study of Bend system's future needs. Directors and ad ministrators still often refer to this study in mapping various school programs. Shelton also served last year on the special citizen's commit tee which successfully promoted a $700,000 building program which is now nearing comple tion.

(UPI)-A state court hearing on an injunction to bar demonstrations ny tne Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) was scheduled today, in defiance of federal court or ders. The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals banned all proceedings against CORE, but State Dist. Judge John Rarick scheduled today's hearing anyway. Dist. Atty. Richard Kilbourne said he would seek a delay In todav's hearine, because a spe cial lawyer in the case, R. G. Van Busklrk, was injured in a car wreck and would be unable to appear for the hearing. Rarick was expected to ex tend his temporary restraining order against CORE if he al lows the delay. A current order which prohibits racial demon strations by CORE expires to day. It was the third Rarick had Issued. CORE lawyers asked U.S. District Court In Baton Rouge to assume jurisdiction in the case, but the federal court re fused. CORE then appealed to the New Orleans Circuit Court, where the hands-off order was issued effective until the ap peals court decision was made. Officers, acting on Rarick's order, arrested 42 Negroes last month for picketing white owned businesses in Clinton. CORE started its appeal at that time. proposal WKmmmmmmmmnmmmmmmmmmm would be required for the 1965 67 biennium to maintain state services at the reduced levels resulting from the Oct. 15 tax referendum.

Phone strike still possible NEW YORK (UPI) - The threat of a telephone strike In this key city remained a pos sibility today despite a new 38 month contract agreed upon Monday between the Communi cations Workers of America (CWA) and the American Tele phone and Telegraph Company (AT&T). Kevin J. McEnery, president of Local 1150, CWA, said he would recommend that the 3,400 telephone workers in his local reject the agreement signed Monday in the Hotel Manhat tan after a weekend of non stop negotiations. AT&T said the contract, cov ering some 22,600 workers in 560 communities ot w states, would cost about $8 million in the first year. The agreement provides for wage increases of from $2 lo $8 for plant operat ing personnel and from $2 to $4 for telephone supervisors. Non - supervisory administra tive and clerical workers also are covered. The agreement will be retroactive to Nov. 10, when the old contract expired, if ratified by Dec. 10. McEnery said he was disap pointed that the new contract fails to reduce working hours. The union generally has a 40 hour work week. mem est groups who would sponsor such measures. He said drafting of a sales tax was properly the job of the legislature. "We wouldn't find a three legged revenue program very popular if one leg were longer than the other two," he said. "There is no question the leg islature has got to find a tax plan to provide more funds," Barton said. But he insisted the legislature should not turn Its attention to such programs until the "crisis at hand" is settled. U.S. presses Soviets for more details MOSCOW (UPI) - A Yale University professor, noted for his anti-Communist views, has been arrested by the Russians as a spy, the U.S. Embassy an nounced today. An embassy spokesman said Professor Frederick Barghoorn, 52, a member of Yale's political science department, had been touring the Soviet Union. ihe spokesman said the em bassy was informed of Bar- ghoorn's arrest by the Soviet Foreign Ministry, but it was not known where or when he had been taken into custody. The spokesman said the em bassy was pressing for further details about Barghoorn's sei zure and was seeking "the op portunity of seeing him." He is believed to have been arrested a few days ago. Had Tourist Vita Barahoorn. a bachelor, came i to tne boviet union early last month on a one-month tourist " Den. " Georgia In con- nection with the Robert Jenkins Clarion Concert Group, and at Alma Ata in Kazakhstan for the opening of Ihe American graph ic arts exnimtion in October.. The charge against Barghoorn followed by only nine days the arrival back in Moscow of two Russian diplomats ordered to leave the United States for al leged espionage activity. The FBI charged the two and a tlu'rd Russian working in the United States had been engaged in an espionage conspiracy with John William Butenko of Engle wood, N.J., an American elec tronics engineer. The two who were returned to the Soviet Un ion had diplomatic immunity but the third, an employe of the Kussian trading group, Amtorg, was jailed. A few weeks before that, the Soviet Union released the Rev. Walter Clszck, 58, a Roman Catholic priest, from prison aft er 20 years of confinement, in cluding time in Siberia. At the same time, American student Marvin W. Makincn, 24, of Au burnham, Mass., was released from a Communist jail where he had been serving time for al legedly helping refugees escape from East Germany. Father Ciszek and Makinen were released and returned to for two accused Soviet spies who were set free in the United States. Barghoorn, whose home Is at New Haven, Conn., is a recog nized authority on the Soviet Union. On Sent. 4 he made a speech before the American Political Science Association which was strongly critical of Communist tactics. Barghoorn, the embassy said, had been stationed in the Ameri can Embassy here several years ago as a press officer. Last year, he came to the So viet Union in connection with the visit of the Yale University chorus. The professor Is attached in the Russian studies department of Yale.
