Wild Police Chase Ends in Capture Portland OP)- A 19-year-old Portland youth was in jail Saturday on a charge of grand larceny after a bullet-punctuated police chase through Portland's east side Friday which halted him shortly be fore noon.

Dick Baum, league execu tive secretary, said the 1959 price support of $1.81 is more than the 1958 figure of $1.78 but that it was still less than the $2.00 price support of 1957. Baum said a more accurate picture could be gained by noting that the 1959 price support has ben lowered 22 cents a bushel. "Hhere in eastern Oregon," he said, "it means wheat grow ers stand to lose $1,500,000." This figure is based on pro duction in excess of seven mil lion dollars, he said. Atherton, Cal. (IP) A mys tery fire destroyed Kenneth and John Templeton's famous treehouse early Saturday. Traces of kerosene were found on the oak tree in which the house was built. Asst. Fire Chief Charles Dompe said the blaze "ap peared to be of incendiary or igin." Atherton police said three teenagers were chased away from the property Friday the youths, or other young sters, set fire to the house. The blaze climaxed a week of controversy touched off when the city fathers of this exclusive San Francisco Pen insula suburban community ordered the treehouse taken down because it violated the building and zonng ordinan ces. Kenneth, 9, and John, 8, had built the house ' in the tree in their front yard. They named it Falconest. Orders Court Action The city council ordered the city attorney to go into court if necessary to force the removal of the treehouse. And, since it's an election year, political candidates rushed to the defense of Ken neth and John. Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown, Democratic candidate for governor, who climbed into the treehouse Friday for a closer inspection, was sad dened by the report of its destruction Saturday. "I'm very sorry for the boys," he said. "It's a shame." The boys' mother, Mrs Kenneth Templeton, said that barking of the family dog awoke her shortly before 2:30 a.m. today and she called the fire department. The fire was confined to the treehouse it self. She said she didn't know whether the boys planned to rebuild the house, adding they "didn't seem downheart- ied at all" about its loss. Atherton City Atty. Wins ton Churchill Black said he would view the remains later Saturday to determine wheth er to go ahead and take court action next week as he had planned.- . Lumber Price Index Shows Slight Rise The lumber price index climbed, 84 cents in the past two weeks, reflecting price gains in green dimension and studs of all major western species, according to one lum ber news service. Crow's Lumber market, Portland, reported increases in prices in the past two weeks. Random Lengths, Eugene lumber market . report, said the market fell off last week, but not to low levels of early April. Most observers felt the slackening was a stabilization at the level of demand follow ing a spurt caused by other factors.
