Snyder had accused the CAP with delaying and ham pering the search for the Fresno, Calif., womsn. The CAP said the charges were "sheer nonsense" and that it was "shocked" by them. Still Recovering Mrs. Davis was rescued aft er spending three days beside the wreckage of her hus band's plane in the wilds of eastern Oregon while he went for help. Mrs. Davis is still recovering from injuries at a John Day hospital with her husband, an orchestra leader, but is considered in good con dition. The participants at Mon day's meeting agreed to dis cuss the Davis blowup with an eye toward bettering rela tions, for further search and rescue missions. A lack of adequate communications be tween all parties participat ing in the search effort was cited as one of the rjroblems which caused the state board- CAP flareup. NEWK'S BROTHER FINED Newark, N. J. OP) Harold Newcombe, 30, brother of Los Angeles Dodger pitcher Don Newcombe, was convicted of assaulting a policeman and the disDute to the boiling point last week when it made a savage attack on Tito . Soviet Russia then went to the attack. Its propaganda organs threatened that Russia might withdraw all aid to Yukoslavia. It is now reported that Khrushchev has sent an "ulti matum" to Tito, in the name of the Russian Central Com mittee, threatening to read him out of the world Commu nist movement It is reported that one fac tor in a tangled situation is that Krushchev is under heavy attack by the "Stalin ists" in the Kremlin. The leader of the Stalinists, who favor a return to old fashioned harsh dictatorship and demand a tough, uncom promising stand in the cold war, is Mikhail A. Suslov, a secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee and a leading member of the rul ing presidium. Red China Attacks Tito Red China is supporting the Stalinists by taking the lead in the attack on Tito. But the Chinese Keds ap pear also to be making a new bid to be recognized as at least the equals of the Rus sians as authorities on Marx ian doctrine and possibly as the real inheritors of doctrinal leadership which Josef Stalin held until his death. The negotiations for a sum mit' conference are involved for two reasons. One is that the Russian Stalinists favor a cold war policy so tough that fruitful negotiations with the Allies would be impossible. The other is that Red China seems to fear that its own in terests would be hurt by any agreements which eased the cold war. Caught in the middle in the dispute is Polish Communist leader Wladyslaw Gomulka, who has won at least partial independence from Kremlin rule. Gomulka is under stead ily increasing pressure to toe the Kremlin line. What all this is going to add up to remains to be seen. But Tito appears to be as tough as he was when he suc cessfully challenged Stalin's authority in 1948. Unknown Soldier Of Europe Picked Epinal, France (IP) A U.S'. Army General walked past a row of 13 flag-draped coffins Monday and gently placed a wreath on the fifth from the left.

SP 3-6241 Georgia-Pacific, Sanitarians Agree On Waste Disposal Portland (TO Georgia - Pa cific Paper Co. and the State Sanitary Authority reached a compromise settlement Mon day on the firm's disposal of wastes at its Toledo, Ore., plant. Under the agreement, the company agreed to construct a smaller lagoon for storage of wastes and the Authority agreed to allow emptying of the larger lagoon into the Ya ouina river if it contained only rainwater and other nat ural accumulations. The company had peti tioned that a March 12 order of the Authority' be amended to allow discharge of the rain water mixed with wastes from the 35-acre larger la goon. At the opening of Mon day's hearing the State Game Commission and the Oregon Oyster Company objected to this plan. Will Build Dike After a recess was called the compromise was reached under which the firm will build a dike within the pres ent lagoon resulting in a small seven-acre lagoon to contain wastes. Under the plan the "large lagoon would be emptied to the ocean and the new . dike built. Wastes emptied into the small lagoon would then be pumped to the ocean while the large lagoon would fill only with rain water and other natural accu mulations and could be drained to the river. If an emergency occurred where more storage space was requiredj the drain to the river would be closed and the large lagoon used for waste purposes. This would be pumped to the ocean. Father-Son Team Admits Holdups Sacramento, Calif. (IP) A father and son bank-robbing team from Utah have signed statements admitting at least five holdups in California and Utah during the past year, according to the FBI. The suspects . were identi fied as Guy W. Shelledy, 41, who operates an airport in Kearns, Utah, and his husky son, Jerry, 18. They were brought here for arraignment before the U.S. commissioner. The two bandits were cap tured Monday just 11 minutes after they took more than 818,000 at gun point from the Bank of America branch at Fairfield. Poice said Shelledy's air port had been operating at a loss, so he and his son took to robbing banks to pay off creditors. The five robberies netted them more than $30,- 000, including the $18,700 in Monday's holdup. Authorities said the Shelle- dys admitted robbing a bank in Loomis, Calif, last week; a Sacramento bank in March; and the Walker Bank & Trust Over 20,000,000 Housewives roily t?H.

This was the conclusion of United Medford Crusade Chairman Dick Travis, and other UMC workers following a recent visit to some of the Oregon Chest agencies. "A great number of chil dren of Jackson county are being taken care of by these agencies. Latest available fig ures on Oregon Chest Child Care agencies show that Jack son county received services Commercial Ban On Columbia Fishing Continued Portland (IP) The Oregon Fish commission and the Washington Department of Fisheries announced late Monday that the commercial fishing season on the Colum bia river will remain closed until further notice. The two agencies, conduct ing a public hearing here, re affirmed a previous decision to wait at least until 60,000 salmon pass over the ladders at Bonneville dam before giv ing notice that a new public hearing would be held to re examine the" situation. An Oregon official pointed out that under Oregon law, such a hearing could not be held for at least three days follow ing the notice of the hearing. Alarming Dip in Count The two departments said an alarming dip in Chinook salmon counts at Bonneville in the past few days had "con siderable bearing" on, their decision to continue the com mercial fishing ban. Officials said that Sunday's count was about 2,500 fish, bringing the total at Bonneville during April and this month to slight ly more than 55,000. A last minute check Monday indicat ed a further sharp reduction in the count, they said. The season was closed last week to allow more salmon to escape to spawning grounds. The salmon had been linger ing downstream and a heavy catch was taken in the first four days of the season.

Seven Are Visited Of the 16 agencies served through the Oregon Chest, seven were visited by the Medford group. Representing the United Medford Crusade were Travis, general chair man, Glenn Jennings, Tom Ness, Dick House, Jay Elliot, Ken Cook and Herb Part ridge. The trip was financed by the representatives and by California Oregon Power company. No United Medford Crusade funds were used in the visitation, Travis pointed out. The group learned that the cost of a day of care for one Oregon Chest agency was $2.85, although in some cases the cost rose as high as $5.50. Using the $2.85 as a mean fig ure, the cost of the days of care furnished Jackson coun ty residents amounts to $46, 161.45. Of this amount Jack son county united funds pay 40 per cent or $18,452.40. Through state wide support of the Oregon Chest agencies, many independent fund drives are eliminated. Without the United Fund, the agencies and others would be completely dependent on making inde pendent drives, Travis noted. Independent drives, United Fund officials pointed out, would be more expensive than a United Fund. Meafcutters Threaten Strike Portland .IP) Meatcutters today threatened to strike against the Oregon Meat Council Saturday at midnight if agreement is not reached on a new contract. Amos R. Buck, secretary of Meatcutters Local 143, said some 200 meatcutters em ployed at Safeway Stores, Inc., warehouses, engaged in supplying hotels, ships and sausage kitchens have sought a $15 weekly pay boost.
