Undercurrent Runs Between By JOE PHELAN United Press Sports Writer Boston (U.R) An under current of ill feeling and tense ness ran strong as the favored Boston Celtics prepared to meet the St. Louis Hawks Tuesday night in the fifth game of the National Basketball association championship playoffs at the Garden. The pressure mounted stead ily and inter-team relations dwindled as the two clubs, all even after four games, battled to the climax of the best-of-seven series. NBA President Maurice Podol off indirectly supplied the Celt ics with added incentive by hanging a S300 fine on Boston coach Red Auerbach. The assess ment Monday was for "unbe coming conduct" before last Sat urday's game in St. Louis when Auerbach punched St. Louis owner Ben Kerner in the face after a hot argument. The incident served to spot light the bitter rivalry between the two divisional champions. It broke into - the open Friday when coach Alex Hannum of the Hawks allegedly made some unkind remarks about Auerbach and charged that his Celtics were "hatchet men" out to crip ple the Hawks' ace Bob Pettit. Boston, after falling back 2-1 in the title playoffs, drew even with a 123-113 victory at St. Louis Sunday night. That vital triumph made the Celtics 2-1 Chicago Team Tossed From Hoop Association Highwood, 111.

M. great Proposal To Divert Highway Money for General Use Opposed Salem (U.R) A proposal which would enable the Legisla ture to divert funds presently earmarked for highway use to other purposes ran into stiff op position at a House Taxation Committee hearing Monday. House Joint Resoltuion 27, sponsored by Rep. Glen Stadler, Eugene Democrat, would put money acquired from gasoline and motor vehicle taxes into the general fund for distribution to the Highway Commission or any other state agency. Legislature Said Competent Since 1942 the Oregon consti tution has required that all gaso line, highway use and motor ve hicle taxes be used strictly for highway purposes. Oregon is one of 27 states with such a law. Stadley said that the Legisla ture was competent to decide where highway funds amounting to $135 million a biennium should be used. He said that con ceivably there could come a time when the money might more properly be used for education, welfare or other purposes. Stadler said there was also the possibility tfiat during depres sion times, the Highway Com mission would have too much money while other governmental agencies were suffering. Williams Counters State Highway Engineer W. C. Williams countered that there Administration Plan To Put Military Aid Under Defense Backed Washington U.R) Congress men generally reacted favorably today to an administration pro posal to make foreign military aid part of the defense budget. They also favored administra tion hopes to put most economic Brothers of Bandit King Turned Over To Iran Officials Tehran, Iran (U.R) Pakistan handed over bandit king Dad Shah's two brothers today to face trial arid possibly the firing squad for the murder of three Americans in Ira.n. Indications mounted that Dad Shah, the hated and feared lead er of gangsterism in Persian Baluchistan, may have cheated the executioner by killing him self. Maj. Gen. Ali Golpira, chief of the Iranian gendarmerie, said it was his personal opinion Dad Shah committed suicide after running out of food and water in the desolate badlands of south east Iran. No Firm Signs Monday the two brothers of Dad Shah, Ahmed and Moham med, told Pakistani police Dad Shah had been killed in a run ning gunfight with Iranian po lice. - There have been no firm signs of the' fily old gunman since March 24 when his men am bushed and killed Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Carroll and Brewster Wil son of the U. S. Point Four mis sion, and their two Iranian driv ers. . Pakistani security patrols cap tured Ahmed and Mohammed Shah and two other bandits along with their women andt chil dren last week end.

"It is a fine thing to say b ing in new industries,' but we are going to have to support those we have here," he said. PICKUP and 15 Minute Service MEDFORD MUFFLER CO. EXHAUST SPECIALISTS 1130 N; Riverside was no possibility of having a surplus of highway money from the taxes. "We have 10 times more requests for road improve ments now than we have money," ie said. Williams said that if any funds were diverted from the highway program it would result in . the loss of federal matching money under the 13-year federal inter state highway program. The highway engineer said a good part of the $135 million in highway money -was not under his cdntrol and could not be di verted anyway. He said $18 mil lion a year went to counties and cities for street and road work and $84 million was federal matching money for 1957-58, providing the state raised its share of $24 million. Trucking Manager Opposed Joining Williams in opposition to the resolution was Bob Knipe, manager of the Oregon Trucking Association, who said his group was firmly committed, to the idea that those who use the high ways should pay for them. George Dewey, Oregon High way Users Conference, said Ore gon was the first state to have a gasoline tax and "wisely limited it to providing for more roads." Passage of House Joint Resolu tion 27 would require a vote of the people in 1958. aid eventually on a long-term basis. But they generally took a cooler attitude to other adminis tration proposals to put foreign military aid on a permanent basis and make long-term loan commitments for economic aid. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles put forth the proposals Monday before a special Senate committee studying foreign aid. Dulles' appearance preceded the forthcoming submission of the administration's $4,400,000, 000 foreign aid program. About 75 per cent of the program is military aid. Other congressional news: Civil Rights: Two top GOP members of: the House Rules Committee Reps. Leo Allen (111.) and Clarence J.

Corn: The Senate headed into a dabate on a bill that would boosthe numbers of acres plant ed this year in the nation's main corn belt. Fate of the bill was in doubt. The House already has re jected two similar bills this year. Ross: House investigators promised to take a stand on whether relatives of government officials may do business with Uncle Sam. Chairman Chet Holi field said his House Government Operations subcommittee would make a ruling after hearings on the case of resigned Assistant Defense Secretary Robert Tripp Ross. Ross resigned after public disclosure that his wife and brother-in-law held defense con tracts. Drought: The Senate passed a baby soil bank program to en courage ranchers in the drought stricken Southwest to withdraw parched grazing lands from use.

Al bert P. Morano (R-Conn.) asked President Eisenhower today to make "the most strenuous pro test" against the "barbarism" of the Communist puppet regime in Hung3ry. In a letter to the President, Morano denounced the "show" trial in which a Hungarian court Monday sentenced three Hungar ian "freedom fighters" to death. "The news, although shocking, is nothing more than can be ex pected of the bloodstained pup pets of Soviet aggression who now hold the freedom-loving people of Hungary in their iron grip," he said. Morano, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Commit tee, urged Eisenhower to pro etest the court action through the United Nations and by direct diplomatic channels. ' Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R Wis.), meanwhile, said he is pre paring legislation to permit 75, 000 more Hungarian refugees to enter the United States. McCarthy said in a statement that ending the refugee program would "destroy the last hope of the people under Communist dic tatorships that they can look to the United States as the strong hold of freedom."
