1A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or AU Wednesday, July 29, 1959 Bonds Returned By Thornton Salem -UPD- Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton Tues- j day rejected two surety bonds presented for his approval by the secretary of state's of-'j fice. . One was a public employees blanket bond for employees of the Mid-Columbia home at The Dalles and the other a schedule surety bond for the Oregon State Board of Chiro practic Examiners. It was Thornton's rejection of a bond for the former act ing superintendent of the Mid Columbia home, Dr. Russell Guiss, earlier this month which caused a furor in a State Board of Control meet ing. Guiss'a bond watf rejected on grounds he already was holding one state position plus the fact that there was no legal authorization for an "acting superintendent" of any state institution. Guiss already has been ap pointed to head the F. H. Dammasch mental hospital near Wilsonville. The bond for an adminis trative assistant for the chiro practic board was returned because the law does not re quire a bond for a person in that position. There also was no specific provision in the law for bond ing employees of the Mid Calumbia home for the aged, Thornton said. Crosby Boys Make Las Vegas Debut Las Vegas, Nev-(UPD -The four sons of Bing Crosby broke into show business' "big time with the successful de but of their act in Las Vegas Tuesday night, but their fa mous crooner father wasn't on hand to join in the ap plause. The boys-Gary, 25; twins Dennis and Phillip, 24, and Lindsay, 20 - brought down the house at the. Sahara hotel with their song and dance routines and fast chatter. An enthusiastic crowd of iirst nighters continually inr terrupted the act with wild applause and at the end of the hour-show gave the broth ers an ovation that brought them back for a 30-minute en core. "We haven't received so much applause, since we told pop we were leaving home," cracked Gary. There was an indication that feelings stirred up last May when Bing publicly call ed himself a "failure" as a JJther had left some coolness between him and the boys. None of the Crosby side of the family was seen in the audience, although Gary said he specifically asked the ho tel to send an opening night invitation to Bing. Asked if he expected his dad to catch their five-week stand, Gary said: "I haven't heard from him.". - Phillip said, however, he had received a telegram from Bing addressed to all of them. j'Take 'em by storm," it read, "as ' I hope you will. Catching lotta fish in this part of the country. See you soon. Dad." FOOLISH PURSUIT Liverpool, England -(UPD- R. F.;E. Stoney, director of the Royal Society for the Preven tion of Accidents, said Tues day his society is very busy because: "Any fool can drive or ride a machine today, and lots of fools do." Makers of High Priced Pills Will Appear Before Committee By HELEN BUECHL Science Service Staff Writer Washington, (Science Serv ice) The manufacturers of high-prfced pills will feel the hot breath of the Kefauver committee on their necks just assoon as this session of the 86th Congress adjourns here. The Tennessee Senator's anti-trust and monopoly sub committee of the judiciary committee has methodically begun picking off the major industries. The - committee members have recently asked the steel and auto industries to explain just how they ar rived at their prices. Now it is time for the drug industry. Interest in drug-pricing was sparked when Sen. Kefauver started recevTug letters from older people, especially those on fixed incomes. They all voiced complaints that they were spending too much of their income on high-priced drugs, especially antibiotics. Send Records Most of the drug companies, both large and small, were subpoenaed and each sent a set of records to Washington, Theyll Do It Every I'M SICK 4ROUND LIPTED Well, junior did get a job he's beem work 1n(3 two davs LISTEN TO MOM NOW ' S iWNXiMOOUOHAT frr S.

The Auke Bay youth was charged by a brown bear in the woods 19 miles north of Juneau Monday afternoon. The animal's massive jaws ripped Hagmeier's face, smashing his nose and face bones and severing the optic nerves. More than two hours of surgery Monday night re paired the boy's face, but Dr. C. C. Carter said repair of the optic nerves was im possible. ' Hagmeier and Douglas De byns, 16, were hiking along a stream, looking for a good fishing hole when they spot ted the bear less than 15 feet from them. The bear charged. Hagmeier, armed with a 30-06 rifle, fired once and appar ently missed. Debyns escaped the bear's attack. "There' was nothing I could do to help Lee," Debyns told Hagmeier's parents. Following the attack, Debyns tried to carry Hag meier out of the area, but the woods were so dense he had to leave the injured youth behind and made a mile downstream to a road to get help. A sawmill crew stopped work and took a stretcher up stream to carry Hagmeier out. Seattle Fishing Boat Found at Sea Monterey, Calif.-(UPD-A 50 foot Seattle fishing boat was found drifting' aimlessly off the coast near here Tuesday with its two crewmen missing. A Coast Guard spokesman in San Francisco said the boat, Ample II, was discovered by other fishing vessels. The cut ter Gresham towed the boat here after finding no life aboard. The spokesman said the boat's nets were out but there was no indication of what happened to the two men who had been aboard. The missing men were identified as A. G. Graseahl, owner of the boat, and crewman Fred Anderson. The Ample II was last heard from . Monday after noon. The spokesman said there was no evidence that the miss ing men had fallen overboard. Hov. ever, he said it was possi ble one of the men fell over board in Tuesday's rough seas and the other was lost in an attempt to save him. Some drug firms, it is un derstood, contacted the "corn er druggists," and suggested these men would be called up on to answer for their share of the final price or mark up of drugs. They were led to believe that the committee would be as hard on the little man as on the big firms. Sen. Kefauver made it clear the hearings are actually aimed at the drug industry only. He countered with his own campaign to convince the re tail druggists that they, will be excluded by postponing the hearings until after Congress adjourns. This is to avoid in terference with any actions taken on bill S 1083. Fair Trade Bill This is the fair trade bill that would set up a law to prevent the competition of the discount store pitted against small businesses. The committee, chaired by Sen. Kefauver, wants to take a long look into the exact method by which drug firms establish the prices they charge for everything from antibiotics to polio vaccine to sugar pills.

Many States Cancel New Bids in Road i Building Program United Press International Several states have can celled new bids on federal state highway construction projects pending settlement by Congress on how to replen ish the highway trust fund, a United Press International survey showed today. The House Ways and Means committee Tuesday turned down proposals to solve the highway financing crisis with a boost in the federal gasoline tax. The current deficit in the highway fund threatens ' to slow down construction of the interstate road network.

Less than five per cent of Finland's land is suitable for agriculture. committee wants to know the exact figures that represent each firm's yearly profit. In this manner, Congress hopes to determine how much of the taxpayer's money is going into the development of "wonder" and other drugs. The committee can turn all evidence over to the Federal Trade Commission for action. , Nearly one year ago the Federal Trade Commission charged six leading antibiotics manufacturers with price fix ing.

Indiana announced Tuesday it was also declaring a mora torium on bid letting for the federal-state hghway system until it is assured its "claims will be promptly paid when submitted to the Department of Commerce for liquidation." Schedule Bid Letting Illinois scheduled bid letting for September, but the High way Department said it would not be able to hold the letting unless new money is forth coming from Congress. A spokesman said projects already under contract would not be affected. The state has about 225 million dollars worth j)f road projects pro grammed for the current fiscal year. The figure includes 165 million dollars in federal funds. Ohio, one of the leaders in letting interstate highway con tracts, cancelled an August bid letting of nearly seven million dollars because no federal funds were being advanced. The Ohio Legislature in its past session hiked the gas tax two cents a gallon in order to cover the state's share of the highway program. In Washington, r ew starts on all federally-aided projects were at a standstill. The state Highway Commission decided that, pending congressional action, no bids would be called. Postpones Opening Oregon's Highway Commis s i o n postponed opening of 85,300,000 in bids on 12 proj ects until the money problem is settled in Washington. Colorado opened the last federal-state highway bid to day, a small one of $164,000, while Wyoming already has cancelled further letting and does not even intend to award contracts on bids opened July 16. Virginia also declared a moratorium on further proj ects until Congress puts up more money. . New Hampshire officials said they were holding back temporarily on bid letting. The Pennsylvania Highway Department said officially it has not ended any bid letting on federal-state projects. But unofficially that is what is being done.

Nixon strongly feel that a visit to the United States by Soviet Premier Niki ta Khrushchev would serve a useful purpose. Nixon himself has not com mitted himself on whether he feels such an invitation should be extended to the Soviet leader, but some of his past utterances indicate he leans in favor of such a visit, v Not ruled out was the possi bility that a Khrushchev visit to America might be linked to a summit meeting. There has been speculation that a sum mit meeting might be, held in Quebec or Stockholm. San Francisco had been mentioned but apparently it's out of the running. People around Nixon are leaning strongly to the idea of an invitation to Khrush chev on the basis that it could be most useful. They see a number of fac tors on the plus side to such a visit. "Better to see orce than hear one hundred times" is a saying used recently by Khrushchev. There are no present plans for Nixon to see Khrushchev again before Nixon ends his tour of the Soviet Union. By the time Nixon returns to Moscow, lUir ncnev is pected to be on vacation. ex- Indiana Ends Bid Letting for Roads Indianapolis, Ind.-(UPD-Indi-ana has ended all bid-letting on iederal-state highway con struction projects until Con gress appropriates enough money to assure that claims will be paid.

This moratorium resolution covers all road construction planned for Indiana by the State Highway department during the remainder of 1959. Japanese American Denied School Job Falls Church, Va. (UPD A Japanese American from Ha wai said Tuesday she has been told she cannot teach in a pub lic school here because of her race. Mrs. Asyukiko Tamashiro, a Hawaiian with a masters de gree from Wheaton college in Wheaton, 111., and two years teaching experience in New York state, was forced to take a job with a private school. The school board of this northern Virginia town just across the Potomac river from Washington discussed her ap plication almost entirely on her racial background, then rejected her. Called to Office ' Mrs. Tamashiro disclosed Tuesday night that Falls Church School Supt. Irbin Schmitt, who personally want ed to hire her, called her into his office and told her of the school board action. "I was called into the super intendents office and old very, very quickly what the basis of my rejection was, she said. "I was quite shocked."

Democrats Big Three Washington - (UPD - Diplo matic reports of a Big Three Paris conference in Septem ber won Democratic endorse ment in Congress Tuesday and brought a plea that Italy and West Germany be includ ed. Senate Democratic whip Mike Mansfield, a foreign re lations committeeman, said he thought it a "splendid idea" to have President Eisenhower, British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and French Presi dent Charles de Gaulle get to gether regardless of the out come of the current Geneva conference. But he said m an interview Record Turn Out At YMCA Classes Medford YMCA swimming classes during the past two weeks hit a new high in at tendance records, with over 420 boys and girls enrolling for class instruction. The YMCA swimming course is a graded program from beginner to expert, which leads to advanced swim ming and life saving. The classes for eight, nine and ten year olds have pro gressed rapidly enough so that a new beginning class will be started Monday which will be completed by the time school starts in the fall.

Chairman J. William Ful bright (D-Ark.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said the "reasoning of a Big Three conference is almost in evitable." Said Downgrading He said he was all for "downgrading" the belief that solutions always must emerge from meetings like the Big Four foreign ministers confer ence at Geneva. He suggested that conferences might be held more often just to ex change ideas. Diplomatic sources In Wash ington revealed that plans were in the making for the Paris meeting of the Ameri can, British and French heads of government regardless of whether the Geneva talks lead to a summit conference. These sources said the Big Three leaders would want to meet ahead of time to work out plans if they agree to a summit conference with Rus sia. And if Geneva talks should fail to produce a sum mit meeting, they then would want to meet to discuss where matters stand. Dr. Warrington Dies in Portland ! Portland-(UPD-Dr.' Ernest W.!
