U. S. Newspapers
At Moscow Show
Must Be Changed
Moscow-fllPfl-HaroId McClel
lan, manager of the U. S. ex
hibition, has placed a rush
order for sample copies of
about 25 U. S. newspapers
apparently because those al
ready on hand are considered
"unsuitable" by Soviet offi
cials. An exhibition official said
newspapers sent from Ameri
ca probably will be carefully
screened to make sure they
contain nothing that might be
offensive to Russian leaders.
The official said the order
for the newspapers specified
none by name, but Wcfs for
"representative" publications
from leading American cities.
He added that McClellan
refused to give the names, of
the newspapers contained in
the original batch sent here.
Not Sold
U. S. newspapers are not
sold in Moscow, although "le
gitimate students" can obtain
incomplete files of some pa
pers in public libraries.
The Russians already have
vetoed an American plan to
display newspapers in the
open air, where Russians vis
iting the exhibition could leaf
through them.
They insist that the news
papers must be displayed un
der plexiglass so that visitors
will not be able to handle
them.
Virtual Censorship '
The newspaper veto was the
latest instance of virtual So
viet censorship of the exhibi
tion. American news magazines
which were to have been
placed on the exhibition's
newsstand never have put in
an appearance, and a number
of books removed from the
book exhibit by Soviet de
mand are still missing.
The Soviet press has been
hurling daily criticism at the
exhibition, but it is drawing
crowds of more than 90,000
'Russians a day despite the
newspaper attacks.
Kennecott Talks
With Steel Union
Salt Lake City -UPD- Ken
necott Copper Corp. officials
met at the bargaining table
again yesterday with repre
sentatives of the United Steel
workers of America to discuss
a new contract.
The negotiations are con
tinuing on a day to day basis
after the existing contract be
tween the copper firm and the
union expired Friday at mid
night. Angelo Verdu, union nego
tiator, said the union would
continue to stay on the job for
"only a reasonable length of
time."
Steelworkers at Kennecott' s
holdings in Utah and Ray,
Ariz., are involved in the
talks.
Young Grand Canyon Survivor
Greets Father, Tells of Ordeal
Grand Canyon, Ariz. - (DPD-ing around barefoot on rocks
Fifteen - year - old Joim Man-
son Owens m, survivor of
seven days in the barren
mile - deep ravines of the
Grand Canyon, yesterday had
a joyous man-to-man reunion
with his father that almost
broke down to the tearful
stage.
The father, John Manson
Owens Jr., tip-toed into the
boy's hospital room here just
as the youth was polishing
off a lime sherbert. Young
Owens sat, straight up in bed
and reached out with both
arms for his dad.
They shook bands first,
man-to-man but then ended
up with arms wrapped
around each other, nuzzling
cheeks.
"Boy, oh boy, am I glad to
see you," they both said al
most in unison.
Doctors described young
Owens' condition as satisfac
tory. He was being fed a soft
diet every two hours and was
expected to remain in the
hospital for about four days.
Bore Few Signs
The youth bore few signs
of his struggle with nature
which took the lives of his
two hiking companions. His
feet were bruised from walk-
and sand and there were a
few scratches on his left arm,
but otherwise he appeared
none the worse for his ex
perience. Wearing a deep tan, the
youngster told how he ate
the pulp of cactus and mes
quite beans to stay alive dur
ing his four-day ordeal. He
said he spent the nights
sleeping in the sand and
floated down the Colorado
river in a raft he had made
during the day.
In his frantic efforts to at
tract rescue teams in planes
and helicopters combing the
area for signs of lifet Owens
said he took off his pants and
waved them in the air. An
Army helicopter pilot finally
saw him when he fashioned
a huge "H" with rocks.
Daring Descent
Ranger Don Davis made a
daring elevator-like helicop
ter descent with three Army
crew members to pick up the
boy about 23 miles from
where he had started his hike.
Owens had been given up
for dead by most people
when the helicopter crew de
cided to make one last run
over the canyon and saw the
rock-formed letter "H" be-

Army to Roll
Out the Barrels
Washington-(EPI)-A tight lit
tle island in Alaska is having
so much trouble with some
Army surplus beer that the
Army has sent an airborne
platoon to polish off the brew,
- They're supposed to destroy
it, not drinl: it, however.
The matter came up in the
hall of Congress where Sen.
E. L. Bartlett (D-Alaska) re
vealed Friday that the Army
is sending troops to dispose
of what is left of 7,000 cases
of beer abandoned by Ameri
can military forces on St
Lawrence Island in the Bering
Sea. .- .
Territory of Wyoming was
organized in 1868 and it was
admitted to the Union as a
state in 1890.
Halifax, N.S. (DM Queen
Elizabeth II yesterday wound
up a marathon 45-day, 15,000
mile Canadian tour that may
mark the end of an era in
royal traveling..
The tour, made by train, jet
plane, automobile, ship and
even horseback, proved to.be
so grueling for the Queen that
officials predicted there might
never again be one like it.
Instead of another prolong
ed formal tour with a morning
to midnight daily schedule, the
queen was considered more
likely to make her next major
excursion an informal vacation-style
trip.
Approved Appointment
In her last major official
act on Canadian soil, the
queen approved the appoint
ment of a successor to Vincent
Massey as Governor-General
of Canada. The new Governor
General will be Maj. Gen.
George P. Vanier, 72-year-old
soldier-diplomat who lost one
leg in World War I. -
The Governor-General is the
queen's chief representative in
Canada, performing ceremoni
al duties in her stead.
Before departing by air
plane at 10:30 p.m. for Lon
don, the queen and her hus
band, Prince Philip, rode in
the royal "barge," a Navy
launch, past 28 Canadian and
British warships lined up for
a mile in Halifax harbor, the
starting point for thousands of
World War II convoy vessels
Started June 18
The royal tour started in St
John's, Nfld., June 18. The
couple arrived there by air
plane from London. They had
planned to return to England
aboard the royal yacht Britan
nia, but shortly after the
queen was ill for two days
during her tour, they decided
to fly back to London.
The queen came officially to
Canada to join President Ei
senhower in formally opening
the St. Lawrence Seaway in
Montreal June 26. But during
her seven-week visit, she trav
eled from one Canadian coast
the other, and paused for a
one-day visit to Chicago.
Borate Plane
Strikes Tree
Eugene - (UPD - One of two
twin engine tanker planes
dropping borate slurry on the
Rebel creek fire east of here
narrowly escaped a crash yes
terday after the right wing
struck a tree which heavily
damaged the right engine.
Pilot Dick Swift of Salem
brought the plane to a safe
landing at Eugene's Mahlon-
Sweet airport. Swift managed
to limp back some 50 miles
to a safe landing despite
wheel trouble.. The right
wheel would not go down.
Red Myler, Portland, a for
est service pilot who was fly
ing an observation plane
close to Swift's, said he saw
the Impact of the plane
against the trees and added
that bits of the wing blew
through the air. Swift was not
injured.
The fire in the Cascades in
the Rebel creek area covered
about 300 acres with some 350
firefighters battling the blaze.

a hospital less than an hour
later.
The youngster's hiking
companions, the Rev.-Eugene
Gavigan, 30, a Roman Cath
olic priest, and Walter J.
Mahany Jr., 16, both of Sa
vannah, Ga., died as a result
of the ordeal.
Owens said the three had
set out to find a silver mine
which the priest said he had
heard about. The priest was
fatally injured when he
stumbled down a deep ravine
and Mahany became exhaust
ed later in the day as he and
Owens tried to make their
way out.
DEte Asked to Air labor Ml ..Appeal
Washington (UPD All 10
House Labor committee Re
publicans have urged Presi
dent Eisenhower to make a
nationally televised appeal for
House passage of a stronger
labor reform bill than the
moderate measure awaiting
floor action, it was disclosed
yesterday.
They told him that this
could tip the balance in the,
close vote anticipated wheri
the House chooses between the
moderate bill backed by the
Democratic leadership and the
more drastic substitute propos
ed by conservatives and en
dorsed by the administration.
The all-out drive collided
head-on yesterday with a de
mand from AFL-CIO Presi
dent George P. Meany that the
House soften terms o the
moderate bill - or scutUe all
labor reform legislation.
'Unacceptable'
In letters delivered to House
members, Meany said the mod
erate bill, drafted by the
House Labor committee, was
'unacceptable." He also de
nounced as "vicious" the
harsher substitute endorsed by
the President.
Thus the committee-drafted
bill was caught in a cross-fire
between liberals and conserva
tives. Lawmakers agreed there
was no chance the House
would soften the measure to
meet AFL-CIO objections.
The big question was wheth
er Democratic leaders would
be able to steer the committee
bill to passage in the face of
demands from a coalition of
Republicans and southern
Democrats for the tougher sub
stitute. 'Spread Rumors',
In his letter Meany said
"some persons have spread
rumors" among House mem
bers that the AFL-CIO favors
the bill approved by the La
bor committee. He said this
was not true.
He recalled that last week
he had denounced the bill as
'unacceptable to the AFL
CIO." He went further yester
day saying flatly that unless
its "defects are corrected by
amendment, we urge defeat"
of the committee bill.
The substitute bill was spon
sored by Reps. Phil M. Lan-
drum (T5-Ga. and Robert P.
Griffin (R-Mich.).
Robert Kennedy and his
brother, Sen. John F. Kennedy
(D-Mass.), co-author of the
Senate bill, defended the
House committee version. Rob
ert Kennedy called it "a very
strong piece of legislation" in
a recorded interview with
Rep. Ken Hechler (D-W.Va.).
