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,

Alaska Youth
Injured by Bear
Juneau, Alaska- (UPD -Lee
Hagmeier, 17, was reported
in fair condition Tuesday but
he will never see again.
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. Furthermore, the

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.

s i o n postponed opening of
85,300,000 in bids on 12 proj

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.

around Vice President
Richard M. Nixon strongly
feel that a visit to the United
States by Soviet Premier Niki

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

be most useful.
They see a number of fac

a visit.
"Better to see orce than

saying used recently by
Khrushchev.
There are no present plans

Japanese American
Denied School Job
Falls Church, Va. (UPD A
