The helicopter carries a bur den of pine boxes swathed in white and yellow blankets. In q side the boxes are the skeletons of Indians that have rested in peace on rocky Memaloose Island in the Columbia for gen erations. Simplifies Relocation The helicopter was called In to reed ud and simDlifv the re- P location of the ancient Indian burial grounds that soon will be flooded by th backwaters from The Dalles dam. An estimated 3000 skeletons have to be moved to a new burial site known to the Indians as Wish-ham on the Washington shore. The whole operation is being carrie out behind a security shield thrown up, by the Army Corps of Engineers at the re Qqwest of Indians who deplored theprospect of curiosity seekers prying into the burial mounds. But 3ake Yah-Yowan, descend Q$ of an Indian chief, said the remains are being boxed, along with coins, guns, spears and household utensils found with (the skeletons.

Cullman, tobacco executive, Broadway play back er and patron of the "perform ing arts" who was named by President Eisenhower as commissioner-general of the U.S. en try, says: 'America has too often let slip the chance of presenting a large and sweeping picture of Ameri ca as it really is. America wants not only to put its best foot for ward, but to show the world its true face, and not only its face but its heart. "The Communists have in ef fect challenged us to compete. 'Competitive coexistence' is their phrase." Cullman adds, "We have ac cepted the challenge." Work To Begin Soon Work will begin next month on the American pavilion, a two- story building 316 feet across and 95 feet high, the largest building in. the world with a free suspension ceiling. A plastic roof resembling a bicycle wheel tops wan said at least three chiefs have been identified, . the same tribal leaders who signed the peace treaty with the federal government in 1855. They were Chiefs Flakish, Ska-Noo-A and Ka-Loo-As. Wrapped in Blankets The pine burial boxes are wrapped in white blankets pro vided by the Corps of Engineers and then in yellow blankets fur nished by the Indians. At Wish ham the Engineers will mark the Crave with a SI 500 monument to the memory of the early Ore- gonians. U. S. Population Near 170 Million Washington (U.R) The pop ulation of the United States will hit 170 million a few minutes after 11 a.m. (EST) Friday. That's a guess, of course. But it's an educated guess and one that probably would prove quite accurate if the government had the facilities to count every American at that precise mo ment. In lieu of an accurate count ing of noses, the Census Bureau depends on a huge electric clock in the lobby of the Commerce Department Building here which is geared to recent averages and adds one person to the popula tion every 12 seconds. Shortly after 11 a.m. Friday, the clock will pass the 170 mil lion mark. Dr. Robert W. Bur gess, census director, will com memorate the occasion by posing before the clock for photograph ers. Every eight seconds a blue light on the clock denotes a birth. Every 21 seconds a purple light denotes a death. Every two minutes a green light heralds the arrival of an immigrant. Every 24 minutes a red light an nounces the departure of an emigrant. A separate set of gears flashes a white light every 12 seconds and operates a numbering device to indicate a net increase of one in the population.

Elizabeth Taylor Returns to Hospital New York '(U.R) Actress Eliz abeth Taylor was taken off a plane from Mexico on a stretch er last night and rushed to a New York hospital, an anxious Mike Todd at her side. The actress, who had been honeymooning with Todd in Mexico, suffered a recurrence of the spinal injury that had kept her in the hospital for eight and one-half weeks prior to Jan. 21. She was taken to Harkness Pavi lion at Columbia Presbyterian hospital. Todd, whom she married in Mexico last week, said at the hospital, "Mrs. Todd began to feel some pain in the spinal area" while on a plane trip from Acapulco, Mexico, to Mexico City on Saturday. He said the ride was "quite rough." "Rather than stop at some Mexican hospital," Todd said, "we continued on here where the doctors would be familiar with her case." He added that she is resting "quite comfortably." i 1 Against Exporting Alaskan Logs , duction up to capacity.

U U 611110 IU II 116 i Prosser, Wash. U.P) A young couple calmly confessed to Benton county sheriff's depu ties last night that they mur dered a hitch-hiking marine in Illniois' Clay county last De cember. The sheriffs office said Rob ert Baker, 26, and Trudy Jo Baker, 17, admitted the slaying separately after relatives of the girl, who became suspicious of remarks made by the couple while visiting here, informed au thorities. The girl said she and Baker, an ex-convict, had picked up the j marine while driving through . Ilinois en route to Baker's home ! in Pennsylvania. She said they ' had been married in Elko, Nev . after knowing each other three days. In her signed confession, she . said they planned to rob the ma- j rine. and while he was asleep. I decided the only way to get away with the crime was to : murder him. j The marine was shot in the back with a .30-.30 rifle and j dumped along the roadside, the girl said. j Clay county authorities, in formed of the confession, said the details matched their find- j ings in the case. i Vale Man and Son Found Safe by CAP Vale, Ore. (U.R) A Vale jew eler and his son, the objects of a two-state' Civil Air Patrol search yesterday, were found safe at a ranch. Bud Wilks and his five-year-old son Bobby, were reported missing Saturday after they took off in a plane for a routine flight over his snow bound ranches. CAP officials of Oregon and Idaho spotted them yesterday at a ranch 10 miles west of the Owyhee reservoir. Wilks told the officials that he was flagged down by ranch ers and could not take offc due to a damaged propeller. CAP of ficials took his son back to Vale. Wilks stayed to make repairs to his plane. break MAKE it must be processed there into fin-, ished products. Magnuson prob ably won't get this policy re versed without a fight from Alaskans. Another weapon the senator adian prod lcers, who now have thinks may be used against Can- things pretty much their own i way through domination of the supply channels, is to encourage establishment of newsprint mills in the South. He said the diffi culty is that the capital invest ment in a new mill, especially for machinery, is almost prohibi-; tive. Old established mills, run-1 ning their machines around the , clock, are turning out the bulk j oi ine newsprint supply, ne saia. Magnuson recalled that dur ing the OPA wartime era, he was head of a congressional com mittee that looked into the tight newsprint supply and got a com mitment from Canadian produc ers that they would not raise prices over OPA ceilings.

Magnuson re called. Doing Business With Cartel The problem is, said Magnu son, that American newspapers, most of whom get newsprint from Canada, are forced to do business with what amounts to a cartel. And a Senate commit- tee can't really do a whole lot to alter this basic condition. It is conceivable, however, that the result of Magnuson's ex ploration of the problem may be some method of government in- centives beini? offered. Dossibly through tax laws that can offer quick amortization of new capi- tal investment If nothing more, the Magnu son inquiry is expected to focus attention on the Inflationary trend in newsprint brought on by the big producers who, many newspaper executives believe,' are charging what they think the traffic will bear. a Free!
