PROJECT
AGC, Operating
Engineers Meet
With Mediator
Delivery Canal Werk
Stopped Today
Tremors from the labor dis
pute between Associated Gen
eral Contractors and the strik
ing Operating Engineers un
ion, currently under federal
mediation in Portland, were
felt here today.
Work on two sections of
the Howard Prairie delivery
canal in the Talent project
and on the narrowing of the
Siskiyou blvd. center strip in
Ashland has stopped, accord
ing to reports. It was under
stood the contractor in each
case was complying with an
AGC order that all its mem
bers halt operations immedi
ately on jobs employing mem
bers of the striking union.
The AGC stated: "A strike
against one is a strike against
all."
Work Stopped
Cherf Brothers, Sandkay
and Birch, Ashland, reported
this morning that work on the
Talent project stopped in com
pliance with the AGC request,
and that approximately 180
workers were idle. The bu
reau of reclamation effice at
Camp White said the com
pany was working on the
Howard Prairie delivery
canalQ 0
No pickets have been re
ported in the Talent project
area, however. Other .contrac
tors said they were "standing
by" to receive official word
direct from the AQC.
M. C. Lininger anfl Sons,
Medford general contractors,
announced that work on the
Siskiyou blvd. center strip in
Ashland also had been halted
in compliance with the AGC.
Work on the project began
Wednesday.
Mediator Meets
In Portland, meanwhile, a
federal mediator was to meet
today with AGC and union
representatives in an effort to
settle the strike. Some $350
million in Oregon construc
tion work has reportedly been
halted. .
The strike started in south
west Washington Wednesday
and stopped work on the $56
million Swift dam on the
Lewis river. It spread into
Oregon Thursday, when pick
ets appeared at two dams on
the Clackamas river east of
Estacada.
Associated General Contrac
tors then called upon mem
bers to halt operations on
jobs employing members of
the striking union.
The walkout started after
failure to reach agreement on
a new contract.
In May, a strike of laborers
against AGCA shut down ma
jor construction in Oregon.
The AGC also is negotiating
for a new contract with the
Teamsters Union.

Surplus in General Fund
Said About $50 Million
Salem (UPI) Oregon's
general fund surplus at the
end of the fiscal year was
about 50 million, the Depart
ment of Finance estimated to
Qday. The Department also esti
mated that the general fund
balance at the end of the bien
nium on June 30, 1959 would
be about $30 million.
The figures were prepared
for Gov. Robert D. Holmes
who commented:
Bear Out Accuracy
"The figures apparently
bear out the accuracy of the
revised estimating procedures
of the State Tax Commission
and the Finance Department
and justify our insistence
that:.
. . . "Calling a special leg
islative session to reduce
taxes was economically sound
and
. . . That we hold the line
against politically-inspired at
tempts to cut them back too
far." "

Acoustic Method
To Detect Nuclear
Explosions Agreed
Geneva (UPI) Western
and Communist scientists, fi
nally agreed on one nuclear
detection system, took up to
day the study . of additional
ways of spotting bootleg
nuclear blasts.
Thursday's session the
longest yet resulted in the
first substantive agreement of
the 10-day-old conference.
Acoustic Method
A communique announced
the experts had agreed to rec
ommend the acoustic method
be included "in the list of ba
sic methods for the detection
of nuclear explosions with the
aid of a network of control
posts." '
Problems of acoustic detec
tion have been the only ones
discussed so far. Today's su
per-technical discussions cen
tered on detecting nuclear
blasts by measuring radioac
tive fallout.
The communique indicated
each side had won acceptance
of at least one of its favorite
theories.
West Hesitant
previously western . scien
tists had hesitated about ac
cepting the Soviet contention
that the sound-waves method
of spotting unannounced nu
clear explosions was - com
pletely suitable.
The Soviets in turn accept
ed, at least in principle, the
Western contention that a
worldwide grid of control sta
tions must be established to
police nuclear tests. In the
Western view, this would
mean placing stations in Rus
sia and Bed China as well as
in Western nations and ships
at sea. ,
Fire Results When
Tractor Turns Over
A half-acre fire resulted
north of Sams Valley Thurs
day afternoon when a logging
tractor turned over and began
burning, according to state
forestry department officials.
No injuries resulted from
the accident, officials report,
and the fire, which, began at
about 3:30 p.m. was quickly
controlled.
The fire danger is high now,
the department warned, and
persons are reminded to exer
cise extreme caution when
burning materials.
Third School Budget
Election Scheduled '
The third school budget
election for Evans - Valley
school district has been sched
uled for July 25, according to
county school officials.
The budget to be voted on
is $44,160.17, the same
amount as was defeated by
one vote in the last election.
Actual general fund reve
nues for the fiscal year which
ended July 1 totaled $138 mil
lion and were within a few
hundred thousand dollars of
the amounts estimated for
that period, the report
showed.
Expenditures were about $3
million in excess of the esti
mates for the mid-point of the
biennium, due mostly to rap
id progress of the building
program for higher education
and state institutions.
Personal Income Down
Revenues from personal in
come and corporate taxes
amounted to $105 million or
about $2,300,000 less thn fore
cast, while revenues from all
other sources was $33,400,000
or $2,500,000 above the esti
mate. Final surplus figures will
not be available for several
weeks when all agency ac
counts are balanced out, the
Finance Department said.

Criminal Threats
Chairman John L. McClel

attempt to intimidate the wit

session. Several alleged mem
bers of the Chicago crime syn
dicate, including Tony Accar
do, its reputed leader, were
scheduled for questioning.
McClellan said efforts to in
timidate the witnesses pro
vide the strongest evidence
needed to support his asser
tion that criminal elements
moving into the labor man

security of our country."
He said the committee
would start contempt of Con

which makes ordinary thiev

It involves a reported at

association.
In the process, according to
the testimony, Abraham

entry except under permit,
and permits will be issued
only to persons having busi
ness in the areas.
A governor's proclamation
covering all land in the Rogue
River National forest, which
was issued July 4, requires
the public to refrain from
smoking while traveling, and
to have an axe, shovel and
water bucket when using
campfires, except when trav

Paid Hotel Bills
For Adams Zooms
Back in Spotlight
49 Nights Said
To Cost $3,096.56
Washington (UPI) Sher
man Adams zoomed back into
the House influence investi
gation today on a carpet of
hotel bills paid for him by
one of his "dearest friends,"
Bernard Goldfine.
, New records of the House
Subcommittee on Legislative
Oversight showed Adams
spent 49 nights in three hotels
at a cost of $3,096.56 to Gold
fine since becoming the Presi
dent's aide.
Total Higher
The committee said "previ
ous testimony indicated that
Goldfine paid about $2,000
in Adams' hotel bills. Rec
ords supplied by Goldfine re
flect that the total as to these
hotels now is $3,096.56."
Some of Adams' hotel chits
ran over $100 a day as he
signed checks for everything
from laundry to parking
space, paid by the textile
tycoon.
The committee late Thurs
day released a revised ac
counting of Adams' hotel
bills. It showed some hitherto
undisclosed items. For one
thing Adams stayed at the
Sheraton Plaza Hotel in Bos
ton, one of his favorite inns,
on Goldfine's cuff as recently
as last May 5-6.
Investigators Browsing
If Adams, the former gov
ernor of New Hampshire, had
known it, he probably could
have spotted some committee
investigators browsing around
Boston about the same time.
The list covered 21 separate
visits to hotels by Adams,
sometimes with his wife,
sometimes with their chil
dren, always at Goldfine's ex
pense. Adams has insisted these
trips were merely . manifesta
tion of. a close friendship be
tween' the Goldfine and
Adams families. The commit
tee offered no records to show
Adams ever had Goldfine as
his house or hotel -guest" in
Washington.
Postal Officials
End Stale Meeting
Post office officials from
Portland and Washington, D.

today after attending the 24th
annual convention of the Ore
gon chapter of the National
Association of Postmasters
here.
. George Siedle, assistant
postmaster general in charge
ton, D. C, discussed problems
of transporting mail at the
convention's banquet at the
Medford hotel last night.
Another official, S. G.

operations director, told more
than 200 postmasters and their
wives or husbands from Ore

mail service since regional dis
tricts were established.
The convention started
Tuesday, and continued for
three days with classes of in
struction at Medford High

Tito, Nasser Blame
Both Sides Equally
Belgrade, Yugoslavia (UPI)
A joint statement by Pres
idents Tito and Gamal Abdel
Nasser blaming East and West
equally for cold war ills was
considered likely today to
bring violent reaction from
the Soviet bloc.
, Their communique criticiz
ed "antagonistic blocs." This
was almost a repetition of the
Yugoslav Communist Party
thesis that equated NATO
with the Warsaw Pact. The
Soviets and their allies re
sponded to this by reading
Tito out of the Communist
family.
This time the Soviets were
not expected to go so far since
Nasser, president of the' Unit
ed Arab Republic, also signed
the communique and the Sov
iets have been wooing the
Egyptian for months. .

Washington-(UPI) Bern
ard Goldfine testified today
he gave Christmas gifts to for
mer President Truman's chief
assistant, who helped him get
"a commitment" for a $12
million federal loan. The loan
never was made. '
The Boston textile magnate
reported his relations with
Dr. John R. Steelman, ' the
assistant to the "president in
the Truman administration, in
the fifth day of testimony be
fore a House subcommittee in
vestigating him and Sherman
Adams.
Adams, who also received
gifts from Goldfine, is the
assistant to President Eisen
hower. '
Goldfine brought Steel
man's name into the Hearings
after these developments:
Subcommittee counsel
Robert ' W. Lishman accused
Goldfine of having "tapped
the till" of one of his firms
for $104,793 a charge hotly
denied by the witness.
Claims Fox Lied '
Lishman said Goldfine
was guilty, in his opinion, of
the contempt charge the sub
committee was. fast building
against him. Goldfine also re
jected this charge.
The subcommittee wound
up its fifth day. of questioning
Goldfine without taking di
rect action in its steadily
building contempt case
against him. It directed Gold
fine to return at 10 a.m. Tues
day. Goldfine denounced as "a
contemptible lie" charges by
John Fox, Boston promoter
and former friend of Goldfine,
that he once claimed he had
Sherman Adams "in his pock
et" and that he also said
Adams was not "letting him
down" in his troubles with
government agencies.
Can't Remember Bill
Rep. Joseph P.; O'Hara
(R.-Minri.) asked Goldfine if
he once paid a $900 bill for
Adlai E. Stevenson, Democra
tic candidate for president in
1952 and 1956. Goldfine re
plied "I can't remember."
Rep. John Bell Williams
(D.-Miss.) told Goldfine- his
generosity to Adams, in the
form of more, than $3,000 in
hotel bills and assorted gifts,
was a "perfectly obvious"
clue to why he got alleged
special treatment from gov
ernment agencies.
It was O'Hara who started
Goldfine off on Steelman. The
witness said he had done
favors for Steelman as well
as Adams.
"I sent him (Steelman)
some Christmas presents," he
said, "if you caU that gifts."
"Did you appeal to him to
help you in any of your prob
lems?" O'Hara asked.
Help on RFC Loan
Goldfine, who had courted
what now appeared an in
evitable contempt situation by
balking) at numerous other
queries during the morning,
showed no reluctance at this
one.
"I did," he replied, adding
that "through his connections
I got a commitment . '. . for
$12 million from the Recon
struction Finance . Corpora
tion. '
He said the loan was to be
used for construction of an
underground garage in Bos
ton Common. The garage plan
fell through, however and the
loan was not actually made.
Asked what Steelman's role
in Berrydale,
road crossing lights, while the
79 others along Main and
Sixth sts. merely involve a
change of lamps. Benesh said
the new standards had just
been received.
Berrydale will receive 20
2,500-lumen lights, according
to Copco's present plans. Ten
will be installed in the Grand
view area, seven of these at
various intersections along
Crater Lake ave. The Jeffer
son school are will receive 13
2,500-lumen lights and two
4,000-lumen- lights. - . ,
Lights Improved
The Copco crew's present
block of work includes lights
on Eighth, Bartlett, Fir and
Front sts. Fifteen existing
lights along Eighth St., not
counting the railroad crossing
area, are being improved by
installation of more powerful
lamps. One new light is being
added. Two 6,000-lumen lights
are also being added on the
island formed by Eighth and
King sts. and Oakdale ave.,
iipt tee
was, Goldfine said "ht done
quite a lot of work on that."
He said the Truman assistant
helped him eet aDDointments
with RFC officials.
O'Hara Questioned Gold-
fine about Fox's testimonv
that Goldfine told him he
bought a house for Adams.
That's not true." Goldfine
declared. "... I have never
bought anything outside of
the rugs and coats that was
talked about. As far as the
house, or anything like that.
that's absolutely not true."
uovernor Kept Gifts -
O'Hara asked whether Gold-
fine said in Adams' presence
that Adams "doesn't let his
friends down and won't 'let
me down," in connection with
Goldfine's problems at the
Federal Trade Commission, as
Fox had claimed.
"It's a contimDtible lie."
Goldfine said.
As for ever savin? he bad
Adams in his pocket. Gold-
fine asserted:
'Why that's silly. Whv I
never did. That's a contempti
ble lie."
Goldfine said in 1955 he ar
ranged to have bolts of cloth
sent to all 48 governors and
hadn't had any returned yet.
ixoicmne stuck bv hi
earlier assertions that the
questions weren't relevant to
the inquiry. He said thev ex
ceeded the authority of the.
subcommittee looking into!
charges that Goldfine got fa
vored treatment from eovern-
ment agencies as a result of
his favors to Adams.
Subcommittee Chairman
Oren Harris (D-Ark.) had
gone to great pains to show
this, wasn t so.
High-handed Finances
He had read a 13-page state
ment into, the record in an ef
fort to show that Goldfine's
"manipulations',' with funds
of two Boston firms were
relevant and pertinent to the
inquiry. - .- .;-.
Harris accused Goldfine of
having . run his East Boston
Co.. and the Boston Port De
velopment co. in a high-hand-ed.
manner to. eliminate mi
nority stockholders.. . . ;
-He said this was of proper
concern to the subcommittee
in its inquiry into whether
some firms have received fa
vored treatment from federal
agencies.
The immediate basis for the
contempt charge the subcom
mittee was building ' "was
Goldfine's refusal Thursday
to talk about two $20,000
checks he and an associate,
the late W. J. McDonald, had '
drawn on the Boston Port De
velopment Co. in 1947.
Harris, after today's elabo
rate technical preparations,
renewed the question, and di
rected Goldfine to answer.
After consultation with his
attorneys, Goldfine again re
fused to answer.
Possible Jail Term
Subcommittee members
had served notice in advance
that this was Goldfine's
chance to redeem himself.
Failing to do so, they said
they would recommend 'that
the House charge him with
contempt. This could send
him to jail.
The balking Bostonian, in
response to additional ques
tions, also declined to say
what services he and McDon
ald performed for the money
drawn from the Boston Port
