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

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.

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.
Ahmed confessed he shot the
Issaquah, Wash., woman and
claimed that Dad Shah was
killed in a gunbattle with Iran
ian gendarmerie on April 3.
However Pakistani authorities
said he could be lying about the
death of his brother.
Non-Union Caskets
Said Used in Portland
Portland (U.R) A member
of Upholsterer's Local 65 told
the Central Labor Council Mon
day night that many union mem
bers are being buried in non
union caskets being shipped here
to compete with the Portland
manufactured product.
"Any good union man would
be ashamed to be laid away in
a non-union casket," said spokes
man Alfred Beecher.
He made the statement in an
appeal to support home indus
tries. "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.

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."

tion 27 would require a vote of

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. Brown
(Ohio) predicted the House
would pass the administration's
Civil Rights Bill by mid-May.
Prospects of Senate action on the
bill appeared more uncertain
than before because of the delay.
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.
The bill already passed once by
the House was returned to the
House for approval of amend
ments. The program is expected
to cost $30 million during its
first two years.

Eisenhower Urged
To Protest Hungary
Regime 'Barbarism'
. Washington (U.R) Rep. 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."
