Engineers Nominate
Philadelphia Man
Portland (UPI) Francis
S. Friel , Philadelphia, was
nominated Tuesday for presi
dent of the American Society
of Civil Engineers at their na
tional convention here.
Friel -. has been vice presi
dent since 1956. Nomination
is tantamount to election.
Salem (UPI) Mrs. Robert
Campbell, Eugene, has been
appointed to the Board of
State Library , Trustees.
Male enrollment totals
jumped from last year's 142
to the present mark of 208, a
rise of -46.4 per cent. The in
creased enrollment is partial
ly due to the state board of
education's recent decision to
allow Southern Oregon col
lege to grant master's degrees
in secondary education as
well as those it already is
granting in the elementary
field.
Adding to the reasons for
increased enrollment is the
current building program at
SOC. In the past two years
a new gymnasium and a new
student center have been con
structed. A new men's dorm,
a common and ' a new sci
ence building are slated to
be completed in time for this
coming fall term, according to

Soviet Russia's
Secret Police
Strengthened
Sinister Figure
In Prominence
London (UPI) Soviet
Russia's dread secret police is
being strengthened with top
jobs going to trusted lieuten
ants of Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev, diplomatic dis
patches reported today.
The sinister figure of Sec
ret Police Chief Ivan Alex
androvich Serov has stepped
into ominous prominence in
recent months, they said.
Serov was a collaborator of
Khrushchev's in the Ukrain
in purges of the 1930s. It was
he who helped crush the 1956
Hungarian rebellion.
Linked to Security
Observers on the spot
linked these- disquieting de
velopments directly to the
tightening of security within
the Soviet camp and the end
of collective leadership as
Khrushchev gained greater
power.
The secret police were al
most smashed with the execu
tion of Lavrenti Beria, its
leader, and Khrushchev's "de
Stalinization" program two
years ago ' weakened it fur
ther. Without a chief the ap
paratus was ineffective and
dormant. ,
Diplomatic reports said the
latest signs of its resurrection
did not. point to a complete
revival of the old secret po
lice. Nor has it affected the
average Soviet citizen.
Future Needs
The reported buildup ap
parently was designed to pre
pare for future needs of the
leadership but ostensibly to
guard " againsfwreVisionism"
and "imperialist Western in
fluence." The most significant indica
tion of Serov's growing influ
ence was his inclusion in the
Soviet official mission during
the recent exchange of visits
of the Finnish and Soviet
presidents.
Keating to Attend

Keating explained.
Increased returns to ' the
counties from public domain

ceived from lands under the
jurisdiction of the forest serv

Alaska Statehood
Stirs Sharp Debate
Washington (UPI) The
Alaskan statehood bill stirred
up a sharp Senate dispute .to
day between southerners and
leaders of both parties. A pro
longed debate seemed to be in
the making.
The argument flared when
Sens. A. Willis Robertson (D
Va.) and James O. Eastland
(D-Miss.) contended that- giv
ing Alaska statehood would
"open the flood gates" for ad
mitting other American pos
sessions. (
Southerners generally op
pose the admission of .Alaska
as a state because they believe
Alaskan senators would be
come part of the northern bloc
and dilute southern influence
in Congress.

Sen. Herman E. Talmadge (D.-Ga.) has accused the de

8th Anniversary of
Communist Attack
On Korea Republic
Tokyo (UPI). Today is
the eighth anniversary of the
Communist attack against the
Republic of Korea. .
And on this anniversary of
the surprise attack in the Far
East, U.N. troops once again
face the possibility of making
another stand against aggres
sion this time in Lebanon.
The Korean war began at
dawn, June 25, 1950, when
N o rlt h Korean Communist
troops . and tanks smashed
their way south across the
36th Parallel.
It ended July 27, 1953,
when the armistice was signed
after Communist "volun
teers" from Red China had
poured into the battle in much
the same way Communists
threaten to enter the Middle
East trouble zone today.
Many Nations
To meet and turn back the
Communist threat in Korea,
the United Nations sent man
power and machines to bol
ster the brave but poorly
trained and ill-equipped Re
public of Korea forces.
The countries contributing
armed forces to the U.N.
army in Korea included the
United States, United King
dom, Canada, Turkey, Aus

These included 29,550 Amer

United Kingdom personnel
killed. Other U.N. units also
suffered many dead and
wounded.
U. S. Defense Department
sources estimated the North
Korean and Chinese Commu
nist dead and wounded
amounted to more than 1,400,
000. Property damage in both
North and South Korea was
great, with practically every
thing destroyed.
The U.N. "police action"
in Korea bought peace but not
total victory. Korea remained
divided with many in South
Korea and elsewhere bitter be
cause the U. N. army had not
fought to complete the job of
unifying the country under
the Republic of Korea which
was created by, U. N.-super-vised
elections in 1948.
BPR to Inspect
Proposed lake Road
Bayard French of the bu
reau of public roads, Portland,
expects to inspect possible
construction of the McAllis
ter Springs and Lake of the
Woods road in Jackson coun
ty in the "very near future,"
County Judge Rodney Keat

Keating said he met with
French in Portland Friday
when he attended a meeting
of the public lands commit
tee of the Association of Ore
gon Counties.
As a result of the discus
sion, Keating surmised the
road would not be construct
ed in the near future. The pro
posed road would provide a
"faster road'" to Klamath
Falls from Jackson county,
Keating explained. "
Although of the same length
as the Greensprings connec
tion near Ashland, it would
have lesser grades and would
be a straighter road, he added.
It would possibly open up a
proposed winter sports area

Parley Feared
To Be Means To
Deceive People
Diplomatic Move
Draws Surprise
Moscow (UPI) The So
viet Union announced tonight
it was. withdrawing from the
July 1 Geneva conference on
nuclear test suspension.
- The Soviet Union previous
ly had accepted the U. S. in
vitation extended by Presi
dent Eisenhower to send scien
tists to East-West 'technical
talks starting in Geneva next
week.
Move Told in Note
The sudden and surprising
diplomatic move was disclosed
in a note to the U. S. The Ge
neva conference was to have
included scientific experts
from the Soviet Union, the
U. S., Britain, France, Czecho
slovakia, Poland and Canada.
"There are grounds for fear
ing that the conference of ex
perts would be turned into a
means for deceiving the peo
ples," the Soviet note said,
"inspiring' a false illusion that
some measures were allegedly
being adopted for the purpose
of ceasing nuclear weapon
tests when in actual fact the
matter is not making any
progress whatsoever."
Sees No Point
The Soviet position was con
tained in ' a communication
from Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko to U. S. Ambassador
Llewellyn Thompson. In it,
the Soviet government said it
saw no point in attending the
conference since Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles had
publicly stated-that by going
to Geneva the U.S. does not
necessarily agree to cessation
of nuclear tests.
Russian Crowd
In Demonstration
Moscow (UPI) A placard
carrying, jeering crowd of
2,000 Russians shouted insults
but caused no damage or vio
lence in an anti-American
demonstration in front of- the
U. S. Embassy today.
The demonstration, staged
in reprisal for last Sunday's
riot by Hungarian refugees at
the Soviet United Nations Em
bassy in New York, appeared
to be well ordered and well
planned.
It was the third crowd ac
tion against foreign embassies
in Moscow in a week, but it
was far less hectic than the
other two. Moscow mobs riot
ed against the Danish and
West Germany embassies pre
viously, in both cases break
ing windows and causing ex
tensive damage.
UN Police Action
In Lebanon Favored
Washington (UPI) Demo
cratic and Republican sena
tors, recalling the Korean in
vasion shock of . just eight
years ago, called today for
United Nations police action
to quench any similar spark in
Lebanon.
They brushed off as "fantas
tic" and unreal the Soviet
charge that any attempt to
send a U. N. force into Leban
on would amount to "aggres
sion.',,' ...
Senate GOP Leader Wil
liam .F. Knowland called the
Moscow charge "another case
of extortion."

Gasoline Tanker,
Freighter Smash.
In East River
Cries For Help
Heard on Shore
New York (UPI) A
freighter and a gasoline tank
er collided in the East river
early today setting off a fiery
explosion that engulfed the
two ships and set the Man
hattan Bridge afire.
A- brilliant flash of ignit
ing gasoline flared over the
river seconds after the ex
plosion. Almost immediately
cries of help were heard on
shore . from flame - swept
waters where crewmen who
jumped overboard struggled
against the incoming tide.
Tanker Sinks
The Swedish freighter Ne
braska moving south rammed
the small American gasoline
tanker Empress Bay, officials
said, just south of the Man
hattan Bridge spanning the
East river between Manhattan
and Brooklyn. The Empress
Bay sank about two hours
later.
Forty-nine crewmen from
the two ships were rescued
and most of them hospitalized
for treatment of various in
juries. A total of 44 out of 45
aboard the freighter were ac
counted for and five of the
seven crew membe of the
tanker were" rescued. Three
persons were missing.
Two Ships Locked
The ships struck so hard
they were locked together.
They floated north on the in
coming tide sending a column
of flame into the span of the
bridge 135 feet overhead. ;
Electric cables on the bridge
caught fire, halting both auto
and subway train traffic. Po
lice also closed the historic
Brooklyn Bridge to the south
as flames spread over the
water. ....... '
The Coast Guard banned
all traffic for several miles
along the river as dangerous
gasoline fumes hung over the
water'. i
A flotilla of rescue and fire
fighting craft sped to ; the
scene. One fireboat, the Wil
liam J. Gaynor, was damaged
by the still revolving propel
ler of the Nebraska as it took
survivors off the burning ship.
The locked ships were pulled
apart after the fire was put
out. The Empress Bay sank
quickly as water flooded
through the gaping hole in her
side. The freighter was taken
in tow, still afloat.
Great Flash
A witness to the collision
and fire was Capt. Bert Dee
ley, of the tub Dalzellera, who
said he saw "one great big
flash going up over the Man
hattan bridge."
"It seemed like the whole
river was on fire," Deeley
said. "The flames kept going
higher and higher and it
seemed to me it went on for
an hour."
From his hospital bed, one
of the tanker's crew, Haakon
Anderson, 42, of Riverhead,
N.Y., said he was in his bunk
reading when he heard seven
blasts of the ship's whistle
the danger signal.
"I jumped out of my bunk
and ran out on deck," Ander
son said. "I saw that a colli
sion was unavoidable. I leaped,
overboard and started swim
ming. "From the Water I heard
the crash. Then it seemed
both ships burst into flames."
Only one death was report
ed in connection with the col
lision. William Finn, a veteran
photographer of The New
York Journal-American, col
lapsed and died on a pier
while covering the fire.
Portland (UPI) Mrs.
Irene House, 31, was injured
fatally today when she 'fell
from the second floor sun
deck of an apartment house.
Others planning to make
the tour are James Bradley,
engineer from the office of
the assistant secretary of the
interior, Washington, D. C
possibly a representative from
the regional headquarters of
the bureau of reclamation,
Boise, Idaho; James Callan,
construction , engineer, - and
John Hatch, assistant con
struction engineer, both of the
local bureau of reclamation
office.
The party will leave the
Jackson county courthouse at
8 a.m. The group will inspect
the Howard Prairie and Hiatt
lake sections of the project
in the morning and lunch at
Hiatt lake. A tour of the re
mainder of the project will b
