Oregon Proposals
For Superhighway
Network Approved
Principal Cities
Would Be Bypassed
Portland U.R) Federal
highway planners have approved
Oregon proposals for a network
of "super superhighways" to by
pass principal cities in the state
and provide a net of highspeed
routes to handle traffic increases
expected in the next 20 years.
The Bureau of Public Roads
accepted plans that include a
new Columbia river bridge at
Portland, an eight-lane bridge
across- the Willamette at Fre
mont ave., and bypass routes
around Portland, Salem, Vancou
ver and Eugene.
For Distant Future
Highway officials pointed out,
however, that the proposal rep
resents planning for the distant
future and that it could not be
realized without heavy increases
in federal appropriations.
Oregon State Highway Engi
neer R. H .Baldock said federal
approval of the plan was a sig
nificant step toward completion.
The Eugene-Springfield area
would be reached? from a by
pass known as the Q st. route
from new sections of highway
passing west of the twin cities.
Salem access would be provided
from Hayesville along Broadway
from the north.
The Portland bypass would fol
low a route between 30th and
39th aves. from the expressway
across a new six-lane bridge
spanning the Columbia two miles
east of present and proposed in
terstate bridges.
Surgery Seen
Unlikely for Ike
Denver (U.R) Doctors at
tending a heart specialists' con
ference here said today they
doubted that President Eisen
hower needed an operation as
proposed by two Cleveland sur
geons. The latter, Drs. Claude S.
Beck and Bernard L. Brofman,
recommended the possibility of
a heart scraping operation for
the President to afford him long
er life expectancy and to im
prove his capacity for work.
Beck and Brofman said such
an operation reduces the chances
of sudden death and eliminates
the pahf'in nine out of 10 cases.
They suggested in Washington
Monday that the President "be
evaluated for operation in six
months.
But two coronary experts at
tending the Western Cardiac
conference here said they could
not agree that such an operation
would be necessary or feasible
in the President's case.
Dr. Maurice Sokolow of the
University of California Medi
cal school said the so-called
Beck operation would not seem
necessary except in "cases of
extreme, recurrent pain."
"We have been assured repeat
edly that the President has been
suffering no pain since the initial
attack," Dr. Sokolow said.

McKay Attacks
'Giveaway' Charge
Washington J.R) Interior
Secretary Douglas McKay says
"democratic gadflies" threw up
a political "smokescreen" in
making charges that the Eisen
hower administration has been
giving away the nation's natural
resources.
McKay made the statement
yesterday in reply to the Demo
cratic Digest, which called Mc
Kay the administration's . "give
away king" and said there is a
"growing clamor" for his resig
nation. The magazine, published
by the Democratic National com
mitte, said McKay as custodian
of the nation's natural resources
has represented "business and
industry" instead qf the "public
interest."
McKay replied that the Demo
crats could not "identify one
missing national asset to support
their old and .discredited 'give
away' gag."
Bones Found in Blue
End Mystery of Long-Lost Hunter
Walla Walla (U.R) The
mystery of what happened to
Donald McDonald six years ago
was almost solved 'yesterday
with the finding of bones in a

towering Blue mountain wilder
ness. A search party returned here
yesterday with the 30-06 rifle
the 18-year-old youth had with
him on his ill-fated elk hunt
in the winter of 1949. Parts of
a skeleton and personal belong

area. r
Sheriff J. R. Cummins said
members of the McDonald fam

were those of the youth, whose
disappearance spurred one of the
most intensive searches in 'this
region's history. . .
' It closed the books on " six
years of rumors, false alarms
and speculation about the fate
of McDonald. ' - ' :
A coroner's inquest was con
ducted in the mountains yester

Sets New Record
In Channel Swim
Dover, England (U.R) Flor
ence Chadwick set an all-time
England - to - France swimming
record today,' an official observ
er of the Channel Swimming as'
sociation reported.
Mrs. Kaye Law, the observer,
reported the corrected time of
the Chadwick swim across the
English Channel. was. 13' hours
and 55 minutes, which was 11
minutes better than the men's
record established by Bill Pick
ering Aug. 27.
According to an earlier unof
ficial clocking, the attractive 35-year-old
San Diego, Calif., mer
maid missed beating Pickering's
mark by three minutes.
But Mrs. Law. said that Miss
Chadwick began her swim from
St. Margaret's on the Dover
Coast at 10:23 a.m. Tuesday and
reached the French shore at
12:18 a.m. today.
"The official time is 13 hours,
55 minutes and this will be put
before the association,". Mrs.
Law said.
Miss Chadwick set the mark
even though she was forced to
fight her way through a school
of jelly fish off the French coast.
The thick grease coating was
nearly worn off and provided no
protection against the jellyfish.
But she fought on and climbed
out onto the French shore, shak
ing with cold and covered with
stings. '
"I think I'll quit the channel
now and do Lake Ontario next
year. It is time somebody got
that record back for the United
States," she said.'

and Paul Gallaher, stumbled

Announces Vole

Againsi roncy
Plan for Algeria
Declared,, Outdated
Paris (U.R) Premier Edgar
Faure'i government faced a pos
sible collapse today when the
Socialist party announced it will
vote against the government's
policy in Algeria.
The opposition Socialists had :
helped Faure survive a crisis
last Sunday when he won Na- '
tional Assembly approval of his
liberal policies for the French
protectorate of Morocco. -
Policy Said Outdated -.,
But in the course -of debate on
turbulent Algeria. Socialist
spokesmen have denounced as
"outdated" Faure's policy aimed ,
at maintaining Algeria as part
of metropolitan France.
Alain Savary, floor leader of.
the .130-metnber Socialist group
in the Assembly, introduced a
motion late today in which the
party "refuses its confidence" tot
the eight-month-old Faure gov
ernment. A vote on the Algerian issue
is expected late Thursday or
early Friday and Faure hoped
his "integration" plan would
enable him to juggle his parlia
mentary majority in an effort to
keep in power. . .
Moroccan Crisis Won. ,
He had the support of the So
cialists and the Communists last
week when he won a vote on
fhe Moroccan crisis, but this
time the lineup will be reversed
unless he comes up with a satis
factory plan.
The left-wing parties Already
have expressed disagreement
with his integration plan and in
dicated they will vote against
him even though he has not yet
made public its full workings.
Algeria, legally, is part of
metropolitan France and it was
because of this the French dele
gation left the U.N. General As
sembly when the issue was put
on the agenda for debate. But 3
left-wing groups in the French
assembly believe there should
be less integration and more
home rule for the Alacrians.

was closely tied with success of
