Slock Experts Tie
On TV Quiz Show
New York (U.R) Two stock
market experts, separated in age
by 67 years, tied Sunday night
for $8,000 when they tried to
boost their dividends by answer
ing questions on finance on "The
$64,000 Challenge."
They already hold a combined
total of $132,000 in quiz show
winnings.
Leonard Ross, an 11-year-old
schoolboy from Tujunga, Calif.,
challenged 78-year-old Mrs. Alice
Morgan, Bristol, R.I., on the
CBS-TV quiz show. Ross has
previously won $100,000 on
NBC-TV's "Big Surprise" and
Mrs. Morgan made $32,000 on
CBS-TV's "The $64,000 Ques
tion." They were required to name
four companies which the New
York Stock Exchange reported
had split their stock in a ratio
of five to one in 1956 and to
name which two of the four split
both their common and prefer
red stock.
Both said the four companies
were the Union Pacific Railroad,
U. S. Gypsum Company, Cres
cent Oil Corp., and the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad.
They said the two railroads split
both common and preferred
stock.
They will compete next week
for $16,000.
Wildlife Group
Adopts Resolutions
Corvallis (U.R) The Ore
gon Wildlife Federation ended a
three-day meeting here yester
day by adopting two resolutions
aimed at commercial fishing for
steelhead in the Columbia river.
One resolution called for a
program which would place the
steelhead in the category of
other game fish in Oregon and
limit their harvest to angling
methods only. The vote was 48 to
4 in favor.
The other, passed unanimous
ly, asked the State Fish Commis
sion to reconsider its decision
of last week and rescind the
regulation opening the Colum
bia river to a February com
mercial fishery. The Oregon
Izaak Walton league joined in
this resolution.
The federation asked the Leg
islature to give the Game Com
mission authority to set emer
gency hunting seasons any time
to protect crops.
Bruce L. Yeager of Roseburg
was reelected president.

Seattle Picketing
Seattle (U.R) Superior
Judge George H. Revelle Satur
day issued a temporary restrain
ing order prohibiting the Interna
tional Longshoremen and Ware
housemen's Union from picket
ing Port of Seattle installations.
The port argued that it was a
government facility and that the
union had no right to strike
against it.
Union attorneys maintained
the port was in competition with
private business and that it had
the same right to negotiate labor
contracts with the port as it did
with private industries.
Principal issue in the labor
dispute is an ILWU demand for
a 16-cent hourly wage increase
for six warehousemen at the
Spokane street cold storage
terminal.
No ships were tied up by the
strike which began Friday. The
vessels were rerouted to private
piers.

Atomic Power Plants
In Europe Stressed
Paris U.R) Robert McKin

Sunday the immediate construc

peaceful uses in Europe as "one
of the best instruments" to guar
antee peace on that continent.
McKinney spoke before the
European - U.S. atomic energy
course for management, a two
phase program for construction
of atomic power plants in West
ern Europe.
The New Mexico editor, who
was also chairman of the citi
zens panel that reported recently
to the U.S. Congress on the
peaceful uses of atomic energy,
told the Western European in
dustrialists: "If atomic power is vigorously
exploited in Western Europe,
disruption of oil supplies from
the Middle East, for whatever
reason, political or otherwise,
need not cause complete eco
nomic havoc."
