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-

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.
Blood-Spattered Body'
Of Ship Captain Found
San Pedro, Calif. (U.R) j
The blood-spattered body of
lumbership Captain Charles An
derson, 63, was found yesterday!
in the doorway of his quarters
aboard the S. S. Mary Olsen.
Police said the victim appar
ently had been beaten. They said
the captain was believed to have
been in a fight at a waterfront
bar Sunday night and to have
returned early Monday to his
ship, docked at the Todd ship
yards here.
Officers said Anderson's head
was covered with blood and both
eyes were blackened.
The lumber schooner is own
ed by the Oliver J. Olsen Co.

river ports.
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."

San Francisco Ballet To Continue on Tour
San Francisco (U.R) The
State department has decided to
continue the world tour of the
San Francisco Ballet, it was
learned here today.
E. Allen Lightner Jr., deputy
assistant secretary of state who
handles the cultural exchange
program, said the tour would
continue three weeks instead of
five as previously scheduled.
However, Lightner said new
dates at cities left in the itinera
ry must yet be confirmed.
The 30 dancers in the troupe,
now in Singapore, were in
formed late last week that their
tour would have to end in Cey
lon because it was costing more
than was anticipated. The extra
expenses were estimated at
$60,000.
The State department appar
ently agreed to pay an undis
closed extra amount to continue
the tour.
