W) Western governors met today to hammer out resolu tions asking support for solv ing problems in their states, and to discuss a possible ar rangement for several states to share facilities of a wom an's prison. The idea of one prison to serve several states of like population has been backed by Govs.' Milward Simpson of Wyoming and George E. Clyde of Utah. Several topics not on the formal conference agenda will be discussed. Concludes with Luncheon Trie governors of 10 west ern states and Hawaii con clude the three-day annual conference today with a luncheon. The 11th state, Cal ifornia, is represented by Lt. Gov. Harold Powers. Gov. Steve McNichols of Colorado, the host, planned to depart for Denver earlier to receive another group of governors. They will plan the agenda for the National Gov ernors conference at Miami, Fla., in May. Two of the governors par ticipating in the Denver meet ing arrived here Tuesday night for the Western group's banquet. They are Edmund S. Mus kie of Maine and John . E. Davis of North Dakota. Mus kie quipped "Maine joined the union three years ago" when he became the state's first Democratic governor in a generation. Harold Pyle of Phoenix. Ariz., an administrative as sistant to President Eisenhow er, told the dinner "it would be a good thing for every governor to serve in national government'' to see both points of view. He said the administration believes state government "should recover every degree of sovereignty." This contrasted sharply to the tenor of the Western gov ernors in recent days. The federal government has been charged by the governors with iron-fisted control over the uranium industry, neglect of other types of western mining, usurpation of state water rights and eveu an at tempt to do away with the National Guard. Gov. Simpson said Tuesday that federal control over the states is so complete "we're virtually crown colonies." Gov. William Quinn of Ha waii presented McNichols, the dinner master of ceremonies, with a poi pounder "instead of a gavel." Quinn explained it is used to pound a tuber plant, the poi, into edible form. Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Washington President Eisenhower, denouncing the at tack launched by critics of his foreign aid program: "It is based on slogans, prejudices, pennywise economy and above all, an outright refusal to look at the world of 1958 as it really is. What the ostrich-like opponents of mu tual, security seem to be saying is: 'Billions for arm-"nt, but not one cent for peace!' " Calcutta, India Gerald Russel. leader of an American expedition that hopes to capture a Yeti, or abominable snow man, discussing the prospects of bringing his quarry out alie: "I am. quite definite that the Yeti will not survive more than a wek out of the Himalayas for acclimatization reasons. And I'd hate the idea of killing a Yeti." New York Comedian Bob Hope, discussing what may happen to him is Russia grants him permission to visit the Soviet Union next week: "I'll probably wind up with the Travelers Aid. If I'm not back in three weeks, call the Red Cross. I'm liable' to wind up in a Siberian stock company. That's going to be pretty miserable because I'm on a salt-free diet." the boat and motor of your dreams! - accessories M yoat chwet. st Prize Faintly Cruising Outfit.

They said it won't change ! a single vote in Congress. Foreign aid supporters were given another jolt by the State Department's dis closure Tuesday night that France used U.S.-made Cor sair fighter planes provided under the Mutual Security Program in the bombing raid on a Tunisian village Feb. 8. Informed sources said the United States government has warned France against the use of any further weapons provided under the program on Tunisian targets. Mansfield: Too Much Senate Assistant Democra tic Leader Mike Mansfield said the administration's call for spending nearly $4 billion on economic and military assistance is "entirely too much." "It can be cut substantially at least 25 per cent," the Montana Democrat said. Other key Democrats said bluntly Eisenhower was ig noring political realities posed in asking Congress to commit the United States to vast ex penditures abroad while the domestic economy is sagging and individual industries are being hurt by foreign trade and tariff policies. The President climaxed a day-long talkathon Tuesday on selling his foreign aid plan to Americans by denouncing its opponents as "ostrich-like." He said the Mutual Security Program was just as "urgent" as mobilizing the ballistic mis siles effort to keep peace in the world and resist Commu nist aggression. Eisenhower declared the aid program "has been proving its worth in practice for over 10 years." Yet he said it is engaged every year in a "life-and-death struggle for its very existence" vith persons in and out of Congress damning it as a "give-away." Others Speak The President's talk fol lowed others by former Pres ident Truman, Adlai E. Stev enson and other Democratic and Republican speakers tj the rostrum before about 1,300 leaders from across the nation. Truman said Democrats in Congress will "never, never be able to explain it" if they "emasculate" the Republican administration's aid bill car rying on a program started by Democrats. He also threw an other political jab at the Re publicans. Noting claims that the aid program is being administer ed badly, he said "It looks as if a lot of things are now being administered badly, but you can't abolish the govern ment on that account." spokesman in Manila, mean time, warned "foreign pow ers" not to interfere in the in ternal affairs of strife-torn Indonesia.

Sumatra and Northern) Celebes. These "foreign" elements were not identified, but ob servers said the reference ob viously was to the United States and the Netherlands since Russia already has open ly supported the Sukarno re gime. In Padang, rebel stronghold in Central Sumatra, Col. Sim- I bolon ridiculed the charges that the revolutionary regime Roseburg an "On to Oregon Cavalcade," a real-life recreation of the original Oregon Trail cross ing, are under way for this summer. The "cavalcade" has been sanctioned by the Oregon Cen tennial Commission with the primary objective of publiciz ing the 1959 Oregon Centen nial. The wagon train idea was originated by the Junior Chamber of Commerce here. 25 Wagons Planned Plans call for the Cavalcade to leave Independence, Mo., on June 2; 1958, with 25 horse drawn covered wagons. They would follow the Old Oregon Trail, arriving in Portland on Labor Day, and ending the trek in Champoeg, with a cele bration and reenactment of the founding of the, Oregon provisional government. In the 1840s, 50s and 60s, pioneers who crossed the plains had to live off the land. Since this is not practical for modern wagon train members, a motorized caravan is planned to follow the wagons with supplies. Extra horses also are planned to nable others to rest and to make the trip in 100 days, 50 days shorter than the original immigrants. Distance from Independence Plans for to Champoeg is about 2025 Oregon Weather Back To Normal By UNITED PRESS Oregon's weather picture was back to normal today . and Monday night's big wind ' appeared to have blown away j the exceptionally warm air1 that has brought springlike weather more than a month ahead of schedule. ; The freezing level dropped ! to below 3000 feet and lows of 22-32 in eastern Oregon and 32-42 in western Oregon were predicted for tonight. i Possible snow flurries were forecast today in eastern Ore gon. The five-day outlook called for normal or near normal temperatures with "moderate to heavy" precipitation. Power crews Tuesday com pleted restoring service knocked out by Monday night's gale which resulted in numerous other damage and one death. Airline Fare Hike Approved Washington (IP) The Civil Aeronautics Board said Tues day it approved an $85 mil lion yearly fare increase for U.S. airlines because of "speedy deterioration" in their earnings last fall. . The statement came in the CAB's formal ruling on the increase. The commission an nounced Jan. 24 it had decid ed to permit all airlines fare increases averaging 6.6 per cent, effective Feb. 10. The increase, actually a boost of 4 per cent plus a flat increase of SI on every ticket, was approved pending con clusion of the CAB's long gen eral passenger fare investiga tion now in the hearing stage. In the decision the CAB said: "On balance we believe the interim fare increase . . . will meet with the needs of the carriers and is fair to the traveling public." African pygmies have no language of their own. They borrow from full grown neighboring tribes. miles Buffalo Burgers Planned The Cavalcade plans to ad here to authenticity as much as possible, including wagon train equipment and clothing. Lacking of course, will be the fear of attack by Indians. Cost to each Oregon city taking part in the Cavalcade will be $16.50. This amount will bear only about half the entire cost of wagon, horse transportation, supplies, etc. Revenue from contracts to carry philatelic mail, photo graphs, souvenirs and color slides also will support the trip. The group also is tentative ly planning to sell real Buf falo Burgers along the way. Navajo Power Unit May Yet Undergo Tests Cape Canaveral, Fla. (IP) The Air Force Navajo which plunged3 into the ocean and exploded Tuesday after a booster engine failure may not be the lost of the super sonic long-range guided mis siles to fly. "We're doing all we can to get the government to con tinue the Navajo program," an official of North American Aviation, which builds the missile, said Tuesday night. Although the missile itself is obsolete, the power unit which failed is considered to have potential value for other missiles. The contract for the Navajo program, on which a half-bil- llion dollars has already been spent; was cancelled by the Air Force last July and Tues day's missile was the last of those on hand at the test center. Cause Not Found The Navajo spokesman said technicians had not found just what caused the booster mal function which sent the sleek missile plunging from the sky after only 20 seconds of flight. It exploded spectacu larly in the ocean. But he said it would not long deter per fection of a half-million pound thrust engine. Th delta-winged Navajo is a non-ballistic missile pow ered in flight by two ram-jet engines. The liquid fuel boost er engine flings it into the sky and gives it enough velo city 'for the jets to take over. The engine has a potential use with ballistic missiles. Joint Chiefs Request Servicemen's Pay Hike Washington HP The Joint Chiefs of Staff pleaded today with Congress to stop the march of talented men into lucrative civilian jobs by in creasing the pay of servicemen. "Just because we have our own beliefs, that should not be any excuse for Sukarno and his henchmen to accuse us of being agents for some one else," he said. "I will not deny our policy is anti-Communist . . . the na tion must be liberated from Communist domination," he said. Troops of the Central Su matra regime were reported preparing against any pos sible invasion by government forces. Reports reaching Pa dang Tuesday said the central government was loading troops aboard transports in Jakarta for what could be an attack on rebel-held territory.
