O I Taking w Iron Fiito'd Tactic Stalin's Mgann Russia London (UPI) The cold war has entered an explosive new phase with the iron fisted tactics of the late Josef Sta lin taking over again in inter national diplomacy, diplomat ic sources said; today.

Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson had denounced the measure as an "economic monstrosity." The House on a 214 to 171 roll call refused to even con sider the complex measure. This killed the bill. Democ r a t i c congressmen from consumer districts joined a Republican drive to kill the measure. Republicans told them that it would drive up consumer prices of bread and milk. Republicans also charged that -the measure would add billions to the cost of farm programs.

Diplomatic sources said the Russian turnabout on the Ge neva conference almost cer tainly torpedoed hopes of holding summit talks in the near future.

Lumbermen in this area be lieve this "dumping" would tend to depress lumber prices even more than they have been. - The bill to which Senator Neuberger referred provides for the sale of the timber, but also requires that it be man aged for. sustained yields ; It also provides that if no pur chasers will buy it on those terms, the federal government will purchase it. There is also provision tor the conservation of the waterfowl marsh values on the reservation property. Farm Bill in House the House shouldn't waste time debating or amending the measure because it would take many days to revamp it into acceptable form. Although most major pro visions were opposed by the administration, especially those revamping price support programs, the bill contained administration-backed legisla tion to extend two programs which are scheduled to expire at midnight Monday. These provide for disposing of farm surpluses abroad and for providing subsidized milk for children in summer camps, schools and day-care centers. Republicans said this legis lation which already has passed the Senate, could be called up separately and rushed through the House to the White House today or Friday under a special parli amentary procedure. There were indications that House leaders ; would adopt this course. The rejected bill called for one of the biggest revisions in farm price support programs since the New Deal came to power in 1933. It would have allowed producers of milk, corn and grain sorghums to subject themselves to unprec edented production controls in exchange for higher price guarantees. It also would have jacked up sharply the price of wheat going into cereals, bread and bakery products. Republicans denounced this provision as a "bread tax." Democratic farm leaders pleaded in ,vain for floor con sideration of the measure. WEATHER FORECAST: Partly elondy to night and Friday. Low tonight 55. High Friday 85. Temp.

Heintz Construc tion company of Portland has been awarded a $2,635,493 contract to enlarge Emigrant dam. Heintz was low bidder. Nine bids were opened by the bu reau of reclamation here June 3. The contract was au thorized today by Interior Secretary Fred Seaton, ac cording to United Press Inter national. The dam will be raised to a height of 190 feet. It will be earth-fill over the present 110-foot concrete dam and will provide additional "water in the Talent project. Capacity will be increased from 8.000 to 40,000 acre feet, according to bureau of reclamation of ficials. After Season Construction at the Emi grant lake site probably will Jtart this fall after the irriga tion season. The reservoir will not be used for two years. Water for irrigation purposes during that period will be directly from facilities in the Cascades. " ' -I Heintz Construction com pany now is building Howard Prairie dam, which will be ready for use later this year. Included in the Emigrant dam project are two earth dikes, tunnel outlet works and other minor features. High way 66 at the Klamath Junc tion will be relocated where arms of the lake will extend over' the present highway. A contract to remove graves from a cemetery- in the vi cinity was awarded recently. Work Progressing The Emigrant dam contract brings to about $9,000,000 the value of contracts awarded in the Talent project in the past year. Work has been pro gressing on contracts worth more than $5,800,000, which includes Howard Prairie dam, delivery canals, tunnels and the .Green Springs Power plant. When completed, the Talent project will provide irrigation water for 5,130 acres of new land and a supplemental sup ply to about 10,000 acres now irrigated in the Talent Irriga tion district. It also will sup ply supplemental water to 13,200 acres of land in the Medford and Rogue River Valley Irrigation districts. Vanguard Fails To Go Into Orbit Cape Canaveral, Fla. (UPI) The Navy's tempera mental and trouble-plagued Vanguard rocket failed again today to put a 20-inch scien tific satellite into orbit around the earth. The tall, thin Vanguard roared from its launching pad and cut a fiery track to some 35 miles in the sky. But there its second stage engine' failed to ignite and the rocket curved earthward, plunging into the Atlantic with its precious payload. The second and third stages of the rocket, and the shiny 21V-pound sphere attached to the third stage, probably hit the water some 275 miles southeast of the launching.

(UPI) A demand for a spe cial general assembly session on Hungary is expected to be put before the UN special' in vestigating committee on Hun gary today. The five-nation committee was to meet in closed door session at UN headquarters today to consider possible moves as a result of the ex ecutions of former Premier Imre Nagy and other leaders of the Hungarian freedom re volt. The committee met last Saturday, under the chair manship of Ambassador jp. Ronald Walker of Australia, and issued a ringing denun ciation of the Soviet and Hun garian governments. It ap pealed to all governments to provide it with any informa tion they might have on the arrests, trials and executions of Nagy, Gen. Pal Maleter and two Hungarian journal ists. Uruguayan Ambassador En rique Rodriguez Fabregat, who did not attend Saturday's urgently-called session, is un derstood to favor a recom mendation that the commit tee call for a special assembly session. - However, there was a par liamentary question whether the committee, . set up as a fact-finding group, was em powered to make such a rec ommendation. Motorist Interviews Conducted by State The Oregon state highway department began conducting roadside origin - destination motorist interviews in the Medford area this week. A seven man crew of en gineering student trainees, op erating under the supervision of Martin . P. 1 Coopey of the traffic engineering division, are interviewing motorists on U.

Fox also swore that Goldfine boasted to him that Adams would "take care of" his troubles with two federal agencies and that in at least one instance Adams actually did so. ' Adams branded "virtually' V41II charges against him by Fox as "deliberate and malicious 'falsehoods." Washington-r-(UPI) An ex- publisher testified under oath today that his Democratic newspaper was forced out of business by powerful forces high in the Eisenhower ad ministration connected 'with Boston millionaire Bernard Goldfine. John Fox, lawyer and pro moter who published the de funct Boston Post, told House influence investigators that "powerful and malign influ ences" have been arrayed against him since he had a falling out with Goldfine, friend of Presidential Assist ant Sherman Adams.

Goldfine once told him that $550,000 in notes held by a corporation he controlled "represented payments made by him for the most part to politicians." Fox said he didn't know whether there was "any consideration."

Morgan Wednesday asked the Interstate Commerce Com mission to hold West Coast hearings in Portland and San not anxious to commit itself to anything beyond general declarations, such as the sus pension of nuclear tests. Both the United States and Britain were expected to make a new direct appeal to Russia to reveiw its latest de cision and come to the Geneva conference without pre-con-ceived ideas. If this fails it was believed further East West political talks would be quietly shelved. Russia Given. Final Last Chance To Change Wind Washington (UPI) Che United States notifief theSo viet Union todey thet an American delegation trill be on hand for the opening of scientific nuclear talks at Geneva Tuesday despite the Kremlin threet to boycott the conference. v A brief U.S. note was dis patched with unusual diplo matic speed and delivered to the Soviet Foreign Ministry in Moscow this morning. It expressed hope that Soviet scientists will show up for the talks dealing witb technical possibilities of detecting nu clear explosions if a testing ban agreement is reached. Agreement Wanted The Soviet threat to scuttle the conference came Wednes day when the Russians de clared they would not partici pate unless the U.S. agreed in advance to end nuclear weap ons testing. The U.S. position has been and continues to be that the Geneva meeting of scientists to discuss how to police a pos sible nuclear test ban does not commit any of the participat ing countries to attempt to try to negotiate such test cuspen sion. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles indicated the U.S. reaction after a White House conference Wednesday. He said he wanted to give . the Russians "a final last chance" to withdraw their demand but made it plain the Kremlin must take the blame if the talks collapse. He admitted he is "deeply disappointed" and "pessimis tic" about the Kremlin about face.

The hearing was continued from last week's council meet ing after residents of the area crowdsi the council chambers and the hallway. Mayor John Snider asked that the hearing be continued so all interested persons in the proposed dis trict could be heard and could hear the proceedings. Several residents last week expressed opposition to pro posed assessments. ' The preliminary estimated costs for the trunk sewer sys tem are $101 per acre, or a minimum of $41 per lot or tract of less than 17,000 square feet.
