Salem (U.R) The House Highway committee today had before it a bill providing $450, 000 for surveys and design of a bridge across the Columbia river at Astoria. No opposition to the proposed bridge was voiced at a hearing here yesterday, but final com mittee action on the bill will not be forthcoming until next week. State Highway Engineer W. C. Williams said the bridge from Astoria to Megler, Wash., was desirable and that present ferry service was inadequate and run ning the state some $85,000 a year in the hole. Cost of the 4.3 mile toll bridge has been estimated at $34 mil lion. Cost would be shared on an equal basis by Oregon and Washington. Williams said the work pro vided for in the bill would have to be done before the Corps of Engineers could hold hearings on the feasibility of the bridge and issue a permit. Deficit Financing Suggested After that, Williams said, ac tual construction of the bridge would depend on how soon ade quate bond financing of the structure could be found. De signing the bridge will take l'z years, he added. It would be 12 to 14 years after construction tha.t the bridge would start paying for itself, Williams said. Through that period he suggested that the bridge could be carried by deficit financing. Surveys have indicated that 413,000 vehicles would use the bridge its first year of opera tion and that 20 years later some one million vehicles would tra vel it annually. In answer to a question, Wil liams commented that the exten sion of U.S. Highway 30 from Portland to Astoria was a feder al problem and that he saw no possibility of Congress acting on it immediately. Tourist Traffic Stifled Richard Bettendorf, Astoria port manager, told the commit tee that tourist traffic was be- EDWIN C. HILL DIES St. Petersburg, Fla. (U.R) Edwin C. Hill, 72, veteran radio commentator, newspaper report er and syndicated columnist died Tuesday. ing stifled by the reputation of ferries for delay and that furth er economic growth of the As toria area was dependent on the new bridge. Tillimook County Judge O. E. Effenberger, president of the Oregon Coast association, testi fied that the bridge would stim ulate travel both north and south over U.S. 101 and that it would benefit the whole coast and Ore gon generally. Anthropologist Takes $32,( Winnings on TV New York !U.R) Dr. Ashley Montagu, 52, anthropologist from Princeton, N. J., settled Tuesday night for $32,000 he had won previously in his "male and female" category on "The $64,000 Question" television quiz show. Charles E. "Stoney" Jackson, 43, a preacher from Tullahoma, Tenn., correctly answered an $8,000 question on the same program in his "great love stories" category and will return next week to tell whether he will try for $16,000. Results of other quiz shows: Leonard Ross, the 11-year-old stock market expert who is the top money winner in radio and TV quiz history, increased his earnings to $164,000 on the $100,000 "Big Surprise." Quotes Closing Prices Ross of Tujunga, Calif., whose previous winnings included $100,000 on that program last April and $64,000 last Sunday on "The $64,000 Challenge" won by quoting the closing prices of the eight stocks. Actor Errol Flynn decided not to gamble for the jackpot with his knowledge of "the sea and ships," and bowed out with $30,- 000 he had won previously. Erik and Helana Gude of Palos Verdes, Calif., boosted their winnings to $89,600 on "Do You Trust Your Wife." They defeated two other chal lengers by giving within 20 sec onds the first names of English kings since the Norman conquest in 1066. Gude named six and the other couple named three. Stevenson Speech To Be Critical of Middle East Policy San Francisco ;U.R! Adlai E. Stevenson worked in seclusion today on a speech which he promised would be "critical" of President Eisenhower's Mid-east policy. Stevenson will deliver his speech Saturday night at a $50 a plate fund raising banquet for the Democratic National Committee, which opens a three day meeting Friday. The twice-defeated Demo cratic presidential candidate ar rived here Tuesday night and told reporters what he had in mind for his speech. To Talk About Perils "I haven't written my speech yet, but I believe I will talk about some of the perils the Democratic party faces and about the administration in Washington. "I may suggest that criticism, one of the self regulating fac tors of our political life, is dying of disuse, and when debate sub sides, we are in peril." Stevenson charged the na tion's press was "weak" in its criticism of the Eisenhower ad ministration. He charged there has been a "coalition of big busi ness, big money and big press, all with a common interest." To Discuss Bankruptcy He. said he would also be critical of the President's Middle East policy and would discuss "the bankruptcy of that policy." Stevenson said he did not in tend to run for President again in 1960, and he said he had no intention of moving to Califor nia and running for the Senate seat which William F. Know land will vacate at the end of next year. Democratic National Chair' man Paul Butler also arrived Tuesday night for the week end conference. He said the party debt "probably" has been shaved from $815,000 to $500, 000 and that Atlantic City is a strong contender for the party convention in 1960.

Western Railroads Ask Mail Pay Hike Washington (U.R) Western railroads petitioned the Inter state Commerce commission to day for an increase in mail pay rates. The petition did not specify the amount of increase the rail roads are seeking. However, pos tal officials indicate the West ern railroads probably will ask for a 60 per cent boost, the same rate the Eastern railroads have requested. The Southern rail roads have asked for a 15 per cent hike in mail pay rates. In its petition, the Western railroads said their operating costs had gone up considerably and that present rates did not provide "reasonable or fair compensation."
