Save-fhe-Deschutes Group Seeks Backing Portland (U.R) Members of the Save-the-Deschutes-Com- mittee met here yesterday with" Gov.. Elmo Smith in a bid to block construction of Pelton dam on the Deschutes river. The committee presented the new governor with 100 petitions containing 5000 signatures call ing for him to oppose construc tion of the dam or any other high dams on the Deschutes or Metolius rivers. . Erskine B. Wood, a commit tee member, said the group wants to save the river as a fishing stream. He said more petitions are being circulated throughout the state.

Knowland May Be Entered in Minnesota St. Paul, Minn. (U.R) Sen. William Knowland's backers planned to enter him in Minne sota's presidential primary to day, but they may pull him out again if President Eisenhower seeks a second term. It was the third time that Knowland has been entered in a Republican presidential pri mary, even though he is not an announced candidate for the GOP nomination. The Californian is already on GOP primary ballots in the state of Illinois and the territory of Alaska. A victory in Minnesota March 20 would commit the state's delegates to Knowland, but the Illinois vote on April 10 is strictly a "popularity con test." '. Knowland, the ; Republican leader in the Senate, has not ask ed thatkhis name be entered in any primary races, pending Pres ident Eisenhower's decision on whether he will seek a second term. Child Employment Regulation Opposed Portland (U.R) Fa r m groups expressed strong opposi tion to regulation of child em ployment on hazardous farm machinery at an open meeting of the State Wage and Hour Commission here yesterday.

However, the commis sion suggested further meetings in other parts of the state and an educational youth program on safety in farm occupations. Mrs. Frederic W. Young, com mission chairman said the meet ing was purely for discussion. She said formal conferences would be held before the com mission would act on any rec ommendations. Employment of children is not now regulated by the wage and hour commission. Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport work for more than a year be cause of a fight with M-G-M. Biggest Robbery The case was described by Anderson as "The Brinks job of Beverly Hills." It was the big gest robbery ever reported in the fashionable residential commu nity which is next to Hollywood. Anderson said Teitelbaum ar ranged the robbery because he owed $760,000 to fur suppliers. Teitelbaum currently is in volved in litigation against Lloyds of London in connection with his claim of a $135,000 loss on Dec. 7, '53, when he said two men held him up. The insurance company refused to pay his claim. Police said Teitelbaum had reported other fur robberies in New York, Chicago and Tul sa, Okla. Anderson said the key man in the case was Clifford Weiss, 38, of Paradise Valley, Nev., a fur cutter. Weiss confessed his part in the fake robbery, Anderson said, and implicated Teitelbaum. Weiss said Teitelbaum paid him $2500 for staging the holdup in which toy guns were used, An derson said. 4-H Club News Prospect 4-H Cooking Club The club met at Fay Jantzer's house.
