I SIX MEDFOHP (OREGOWJ MAIL TRIBUNE Auto Companies Stew Over Answer To Cut Proposal Detroit TO The "big three" auto companies stewed over an answer to Walter P. Reuther's auto price cut proposal today while Reuther carried his anti inflation riteasure to the White House. Throughout the day spokes men for the auto companies said Reuther's letter had been re ceived and transmitted to com pany chieftains but no reply had been framed. Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers, released a letter he sent to President Eisen hower, and enclosed for the President the proposals he made to Harlow H. Curtice, General Motors president; Henry Ford II, Ford president, and L. L. Colbert, Chrysler president. Reflects Desire "Our proposal to the major automobile producers," Reuther wrote Eisenhower, "reflects our desire to do what we can ... to comply with your repeated re quests for self restraint and statesmanship by management and labor. We hope the corpor ations to which the enclosed let ters are addressed will give seri ous and sympathetic considera tion to our proposal. "We are convinced, however, that the likelihood of their ac ceptance of ur proposal would be greatly enhanced if it had the support of your great personal and official prestige. "We therefore earnestly re quest that you ufce the utomo bile corporations to join with us in this positive and constructive endeavor to halt and reverse the inflationary t r e n d," Reuther said. Reuther Friday o asked the 'big three" auto firms, who pro duce 97 per cent of the coun try's cars, to cut prices effective with 58 models by "at least $100." He said this would mean a $140 reduction to consumers. Migratory Workers Receive Few Benefits Chicago (W The migratory farm workers plays a vital role in agricultural economy, but he's low man on the totem pole when it comes to community benefits, a study shows. The study was made by the American Society of Planning Officials, which said housing, medical facilities and schools for migratory farm workers are in terior. Such workers are employed in nearly every state, the planning society said, and every level of government has a responsibility for helping to solve some of their problems. Migratory workers leave their homes temporarily to work at seasonal jobs, and they play a critical role in farm production. Local governments should see that at least minimum facilities are supplied to them, the society said. Service Seeks Ways To Protect Polar Bear Washington W The Fish and Wildlife Service is trying to find new ways to protect the polar bear. Legislation may be neces sary to give the service authority to afford the bears more protec tion. The service said hunters have been using planes to locate the bears on ice floes in the Arctic, then landing to make the kill. Because the hunting is far be yond the territorial limits of Alaska, there is a jurisdictional problem that is complicated by lack of specific legislation and by the practical diffculties of en forcement.

Ginger the Dog Helps Boy Deliver Papers Delaware, Ohio (IP) Paper delivery boys have come and gone on the Delaware Gazette, but .Ginger remains for the fourth year of faithful service, and she does it all for free. Ginger, a "five-year-old dog of mixed breeds, belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Walter C. Rybolt of Delaware. Four years ago, the Rybolt's son, Tom, now 16, started carry ing papers on State Route 8. Ginger started following Tom on the route and finally learned it so well that she often remind ed him of stops when he might have forgotten them. Ginger became so fond of be ing an assistant newspaper car rier that she nearly went wild each day when the time came to start oji the route. She paced the floor and cried while Tom rolled his pepers before starting. As soon as he opened the front door. Ginger dashed out to lead the wayon the paper route. The yean went by and Tom was followed by brother Dan on the route. A year and a half later and the route was taken over by Johnny Reider, who lives about three blocks from the Rybolts. Having the route go out of the family doesn't chill Ginger's en thusiasm. Every day when it comes time to deliver papers, Ginger tears off, anxious to help Johnny with his work.

Neither had known the other was in Amer ica. The story dates back to the days of the Auschwitz concentra tion camp where Dr. Marco Na- hon, now 61, a Greek Jew, was being used by the Nazis as a physician under the title of "or derly." The other man, Zelman Boren stein, 55, was in a much less en viable position. The only possi ble future he could see was death. Yet, somehow Borenstein sur vived. He was thrown onto a pile of humans being incinerated. He said it was a miracle that he was able to cheat death and attribut ed his fortune to "the hand of God" who lifted him "from the burning mass of humans." He doesn't remember the details. Heart Condition Borenstein was treated by Na tion until 1945 for chest and face burns. He also had a heart con dition. Then the Allies liberated Auschwitz. Both men found their way to the United States through the sponsorship of the Hebrew Im migration Aid Service. Boren stein eventually began operation of a chicken farm in nearby Dor othy, N. J., his present occupa tion, i Nahon ended up in clinical re search at the Valley Forge Heart Institute and Fairview General hospital. The meeting of the two, the first in 12 years, took place at tne institute where Borenstein had gone for treatment of his heart condition. Although Borenstein recog nized Nahon immediately, the doctor did not fully recognize nis former patient until he rolled up Borenstems sleeve to take his blood pressure. There on the forearm was tattooed "126722," his concentration camp number. Europe Said Ahead Of Latin America Rome W A maloritv of Italian emigrants consider Eu rope more attractive than Latin America, official staistics show. The flow of Italian emigrants to European countries increased by one-third last year, while mi gration to overseas countries de clined by one-seventh, and sev eral thousand emigrants left La tin America especially Venez uela to return home. Experts said economic difficul ties in Latin American countries were largely responsible for the trend. The over-all number of Italian emigrants in 1956 was 352,056, an increase of 31,916 over the previous year Of these, 229,450 57,110 more than in 1955 went to European countries, and 122,606 a decline of 23,008 migrated overseas. Emigration to European coun tries can be divided into perma nent and seasonal emigrations. Permanent emigration , to Euro pean countries in 1956 reached a total of 83,745, while 145,705 workers went abroad for season al work. The largest number of perma nent emigrants in Europe went to France (56,511), followed by Britain (12,640) and West Ger many (4,33 o. seasonal emigra tion was . largely absorbed by Switzerland, France and West Germany. It particularly includ ed farm laborers, masons and sugar beet workers. Of the 122,006 Italians who went overseas in 1956, about 9, 600 went to Argentina, 24,916 to Australia, 5,541 to' Brazil, 25, 000 to Canada, 31,781 to the United States, 21,555 to Venezu ela and the rest to scattered coun tries.

(International Soundphoto) North Carolina Bank Holdup Season Now Raleigh, N. C. (171 It's sum mer again and North Carolina's bank robbery season is in full swing. There have been five rob beries or attempted robberies in the state this year three of them within 11 days. But the number is nothing unusual. North Carolina had eight bank robberies three years ago. There have been about 30 bank holdups in the state since the spring of 1952. The only un usual thing about this year's robberies is the fact that the boys waited this late to get roll ing. Usually the open season on banks begins in the spring. There were two attempts this spring one here and one at Huntersville but they were not up to stand ard. Both bandits were frighten ed away before they could steal any money. Boy's Target The bandit at Huntersville, a fireman from Gastonia, had bad luck. A small boy threw a rock at him as he ran from the bank and then copied the license num ber of his car. FBI agfents were waiting for the would-be-bandit when he got home. The Raleigh bandit took off like a scared rabbit when a wom an teller got angry and started shouting at him. , Of course, for bungling, these two aren't in the same league with a pair of Youngsville youths who decided to rob their home town bank 18 months ago, the third time in six years the bank had been robbed. One of the boys borrowed his father's car. They even joked with friends on the street as they walked toward the bank. FBI agents were waiting for them when they got home with their loot. Most Crimes Solved This year's season started In earnest July 12 when two men entered the Apex branch of the Durham Bank and Trust Co. While a pal waited outside in a car, they held up the bank. locked the employees in the vault and took off with more than $30,000 Shortly afterward, a mild- mannered newspaper advertis ing employee decided to use a gun to collect enough money to pay his debts. Worth Alexander Whi taker, 41, of Garner, held up a branch bank at Angier, 15 miles from Apex. Whitaker fled with morp than $12,000 but withHhe bank cash ier right behind him. He was shot and captured as he tried to swap getaway cars at Fuquay Varina, about 10 miles from Angier. Most of the state's bank-rob beries have been marked by a lack of lasting success. ' Of 20 robberies between April 17, 1952, and Dec. 22 1955, all but one were solved. The exception was a $3,039 holdup Aug. 18, 1954, at Vanceboro. The manager of, a Reidsville bank foiled the robbers one day in the 19?0's. The bank was built over a big, dark basement.

(IP) Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fish Sr. are $185 poorer because they were sympathetic when a man called and told them he was phoning on behalf their son, "who was in trouble." It started when Fish got a col lect telephone call from Texas. The man on the other end of the wire said he was an attorney representing Charles Jr., who was in jail for having broken some windows' with some other fellows. The man asked for $100 to cover costs and his fee. The Fishes promptly wired the money. The next day the man called collect. He asked for S85 more to cover court costs. Again the Fishes sent the money. One hour later, the man called a third time again collect. This time he said he would have the son call if he needed any more help. When the son, who is stationed at Ft. Bliss, failed to call, his parents phoned him. He knew nothing of the money of the charges. ' Grand Rapids, Mich.

S. National bank this morning. The Office Employees union is seeking to represent person nel of the Beaverton branch. The council finally agreed, after extensive discussion, to ap point a conciliation committee to investigate the dispute. The agreement was an amendment to a motion approved by the council's executive committee to "blackball" the bank. If carried through, such action would mean withdrawal of union funds from Oregon branches of the banking chain. .

Archeologist Bartoccini has lo cated .the site of the ancient Etruscan town of Vulci, con sidered by experts to have been Jie metropolis of the 12 towns which formed the Etruscan na tion. The site is 75 miles north of Rome, near the small town of Montalto di Castro. Bartoccini was working on a nearby necropolis when he was told that peasants in Montalto di Castro were secretly trying to sell archeological material. Bar toccini immediately sent one of his inspectors to the town and discovered relics of the Etruscan civilization were involved. Scholars knew that Vulci was in the Montalto area, but lack of funds had prevented an exca vation. Hower, when the state started land reform in the Tus can Maremma, ' powerful bull dozers did the excavating. When Bartoccini realized the bulldozers had hit the old site of Vulci, he declared the Montal to zone an area of archeological interest to prevent further loot ing and went to work to unearth the old metropolis.
