The shut-down will continue until next Thursday morning, subject to arrival of cars for shipment in the meantime, offi cials said. Planning and shipping crews are on a stand-by basis to load when cars become avail able."" . ' ' Bill Burt, manager of Ross lumber interests at White City and Prospect, said the Prospect mill closed down last night, and that gang saw . operations at White City will close down Fri day evening for a week. 20 of the government's top of ficials bowed their heads and said a . silent prayer for their President in Denver. It has been customary for meetings of the Cabinet to be opened with prayer. But this has not been the practice in the Na tional Security Council which advises the President on mat ters of defense and foreign pol icy. . Nixon, who has been serving an unofficial acting president during Mr. Eisenhower's illness, called the council to order in the historic Cabinet Room of the White House. Among those present were Secretary , of State John Foster Dulles, Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson, Mobilization Director Arthur S. Flemming, and other top government lead ers. The session was the first held since President Eisenhower was struck by a heart attack Satur day. It will be followed by meet ing of the Cabinet tomorrow. The top policy group, concern ed .with foreign and military af fairs, was confronted with the prospect that : defense outlays may have to rise next year and that a recently suggested cut of $1,000,000,000 this year may be all but out of the question. Those facts bear vitally on the administration's efforts to balance the federal budget by next June 30, a goal that Treas ury Secretary George M. Humph rey says can be reached with a three per cent reduction in fed eral spending. Portland (U.R) Circuit Judges James R. Bain told the Multnomah county grand jury yesterday that reception of a gratuity by a liquor commission employee would not in itself be a violation of law. c: o . United J Ire 162 Price -J CO e Season - Glose The shut-down, Burt pointed out, is a combination of the car shortage and deer season, which starts this week end. The Pros pect operations were closed down two days earlier than an ticipated, he said, because com pany officials planned closing a few days during hunting sea son. Far Behind Quota i Burt said the company receiv ed no railroad cars Tuesday, and got only two yesterday. Quota for the company is 10 boxcars and two flat cars daily. Earlier this year, Ross lumber interests closed operation for a day and a half because of a temporary car shortage. Burt said employees will con tinue to load cars next week when ' cars Jjecome available in order to clear some storage space while operations are shut down. DeArmond Brothers Lumber company at Rogue River is clos ing down an extra day during deer season because of the car shortage. Company officials said they plan to close down tonight and start again Wednesday. Pre vious plans were to start opera tions again Tuesday. The . company has received only four cars in the past 11 days, officials said, and only one car , was delivered today. The quota is five cars a day. To Continue Loading . Loading available railroad cars will continue during the shut-down, officials said, to make storage space available. Howard Norwood, manager of the Magnolia Lumber corpora tion's Rogue River division, said operations there would close down at 4:30 p.m.-today when the day shift goes off. The shut down will put between 75 and 100 men who are' employed in the mill out of work for an indefinite period. Norwood said the company has received two railroad cars in the past nine ' days, during which time between 25 and 30 cars should have been delivered. The shut down is necessary, Norwood .said, because . lumber ready for shipment has consum ed available storage space.

Highest Yesterday 71 Lowest this Morning 37 Coon Calls for Modification of Preference Clause Debate Will Shift To La Grande Tonight Pendleton U.R) Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger, Democrat, and Rep. Sam Coon, Republican, carry their p o w e'r battle on Coon's John Day dam bill to La Grande tonight after the third round in a series of 10 debates drew the largest crowd so far, 1000. . These attending the debate in Vert Memorial Auditorium heard Neuberger again state his contention that private power companies are trying to make off with choice dam sites. Asks Modification Coon called for modification of the preference clause in Ore gon's behalf. "I say flatly that private util ity interests authored the . bill and gave it to representative Coon to introduce . . ." Neuberg er said. "If Representative Coon continues to refuse to tell who prepared his bill, 'I'll reveal the author later in the week." This came after Coon had said he worked on the bill before go ing to Washington and had con sulted with various government departments and other interest ed parties in line with the way most legislation is prepared. Coon said the preference clause of the Bonneville act now gave Washington 76 per cent to Oregon's 24 per cent of fed eral power produced in the Co lumbia basin. A higher percent age of Oregon power customers are served by private utilities. Would Give Preference Coon said the bill would give preference to rural and domestic users and not just those consum- SiX.- served, by-public-power - or ganizations. . ' "Right now;" Coon said, "a beer parlor in . Pasco can get current when a hospital in Pend leton can not." Neuberger took issue with Coon what rates would be charged for power at the dam. Coon had said power could be sold at a rate of 2.5 mills. Neu berger said one of the utilities wanting to participate under Coon's bill charges . 8.2 mills a kilowatt hour. "Does that sound like they would sell current for 2.5 mills?" Neuberger asked. The bill would allow local in terest to put up $273,000,000 of the $310,000,000 cost of the pro ject. Siskiyou Rancher Ousts Trespasser With Nails, Trees Yreka At least one Siski you county property owner has a highly successful method for dealing with trespassers.

Investigating officers who went to the scene found the rancher had taken his tractor and pulled trees across all the roads leading into the ranch. They also found the ranch was clearly posted against trespass ers and trespass was the only crime committed. 1 - No further action was taken.

The decree said 8,877 will be released "from further serving sentences" and returned either to East or West Germany, ac cording "to their place of resi dence." But the 749 who will not be freed will be handed over to East and West Germany as war criminals, it said.

It specifically mentioned requests of both gov ernments. The figure of 9,626 was the one used by Adenauer. The decree did not mention fears by West German officials that up to 140,000 civilians are interned behind the Iron Cur tain. West German officials have reported more than 1,000,000 soldiers and civilians -missing, with most of them believed dead. Russia has said it knows only of the 9,626 mentioned today.
