Nepalese Law Prolects Snowmen Kathmandu, Nepal (U.PJ .The Nepalese government show ed its faith in the existence of the "abominable snowman" to day by forbidding foreign rloun teer to kill, injure or capture one. The new law will hamper U.S. explorer Tom Slock s expedition now on its way to the Himalay as. The expedition is carrying a trap to capture a Yeti and two shotguns to be used in case of "extreme defense." World interest in the myster ious creature was first stirred by members of Sir Edmund Hil lary's expedition which con quered Mt. Everest in 1953. Sherpas (Nepalese hilimen) told of a large animal that walk ed on its hind legs like a man. Most European authorities dis counted the Yeti stories and of fered various explanations for the outsize footprints which we.-e reported seen on the up per Himalaya slopes. The Nepalese government, is suing the new "be-kind-to-Yetis" law today, made one exception.

Morgan Orders PTC To Restore Service Salem (U.R) Public Utilities Commissioner Howard Morgan yesterday issued a new order requiring Portland Traction Company to restore service to west side downtown Portland. The order requires the com pany to transport its patrons from the vicinity of its waiting room at Southwest First and Washington sts. to the east side terminus of its fixed rail lines. Morgan said the order differ ed in some respects from his order of last month requesting that service be restored. The iirst order was stayed in Portland Circuit Court when the company contended that no order could be issued until com pletion of all public hearings in the matter. Morgan said several hearings had been held and had directed the company to furnish passen ger service, between Oregon City and downtown west side Portland and between Bellrose and downtown Portland and all intermediate points.

John Day Resolution Adopted by Senate Salem (U.R) The Oregon Senate unanimously adopted House memorial 1 yesterday aft ernoon, calling on Congress to appropriate immediately funds to build the John Day dam on the Columbia river. But the Senate split right down party lines on a priority report favoring an amendment urging Congress to include a provision assuring the people of Oregon "a fair and equitable share of the power produced by said project." The vote was 15 Republicans ! Bailey, tor tne amendment ana to dem ocrats against. The Democrats argued that such an amend ment would hamstring the me morial and make it of little or no avail by the time it reached Congress. The amendment was proposed in a minority report that again saw a party-line division. Scotland Yard Detective, Doctor Meet Again in London Courtroom .London lu.rt) Detective su perintendent Herbert Hannan of Scotland Yard in the immacu late grey suitings that have won him the nickname of "The Count" was out for a stroll. Dr. John Bodkins Adams was parking his car. Their paths met, "casually" says the crown, on a brisk after noon last October in the placid seaside resort of Eastbourne. A few passersby eyed them curiously. The whole town of 59,000 inhabitants was in on the open secret. Detective Superintendent Han nam was investigating Dr. Adams. It was about the wills of wealthy widows, the subject of gossip in the town for many years. For the first time, the hunter and the hunted were face to face. Face Each Other Three mora times these two met and fenced with words. Now in courtroom No. 1 of Old the central criminal court, they confront each other once again through the defense and prosecution lawyers. And with the Adams trial starting its second day today both men know they face cross examinations that will be none the less savage because they will be conducted in the con versational tones British justice sternly expects from its be wigged servants. Once they have left the wit ness stand the jury of ten men and two women will have a pretty good idea of whether the 58-year-old physician and prominent citizen goes to the gallows for murder. Hannam is inured to the rigors of cross examination. In j 1953 Alfred Charles Whiteway, j a 22-year-old laborer, was con- victed and hanged for the mur- ; der of two teenaged girl friends. I That was largely on Hannam's j testimony. Now a jury must decide again ! on wnat Hannam says ne was told, with and without wit nesses. Last October he said he men tioned an oak chest of silver which Adams received after Mrs. Morrel's deatn. "I knew she was going to leave it to me and her Rolls Royce car," he quoted Dr. Adams. "She told me she had put them in her will." And a few weeks later when Hannam searched the doctor's house he asked, "there are a lot of dangerous cfrugs here. Who administered the drugs?" "I did," he quoted the physi cian. "Nearly all. Perhaps ths nurses gave some, but mostly me. Poor soul, she was in ter rible agony." - -unit CHARLES D.
