He spoke of the arrival at Celilo Falls many years ago of the first pioneers and the fact that Celilo Falls has been eliminated by the reservoir above the dam. He talked of the panorama of history going "before our eyes," the old paddle-wheeler, the wagon trains and "now the industrial development." , "As we consider these changes we think of the great challenges '" td the ""United " States' future," he said. Nixon said it was quite significant that this dedication came only a few weeks after the visit of Russia's Premier Nikita Khrushchev "when we heard him " lay down the challenge to compete peacefully and ec onomically with the Soviets and' his prediction that the Soviet system would prevail More Power Than Russia, The vice president, one of many distinguished guests in cluding the governors of Ore gon and Washington and members of Congress and other federal officials, said it was good that Khrushchev came to America for a num ber of reasons, including "the removal of roadblocks pre venting a settlement of the Berlin crisis and to allow Khrushchev to see and feel the moral strength of the United States." ; Nixon said the U.S. now pro duces three times as much power as Russia and "even in 1975 we will have a greater absolute gap and will still pro duce 2Vi times as much as Russia." "Let us present to the world this picture if we will fol low the way of freedom, we can have progress with free dom -that is what we want the world to see Whenever man has had a choice, he has chosen freedom." Hatfield Speaker Gov. Mark Hatfield told the audience Northwesterners are the envy of many other states and even of much of the world because of the abun dance of natural resources.

Lane Association Raps Neuberger's Dunes Hearings Handling Said In Poor Taste Florence (DPD - The Western Lane Taxpayers Association, a major foe of Sen. Richard L. Neuberger's proposed leg islation to create a national park in the Oregon Dunes area, declared Saturday that Neuberger's hearings at Reedsport and Eugene last week were "reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition." John M. Hayes, chairman of the association, said here that while it was true that Neu- berger was "rather fair' in his treatment of the associa tion, "I think it was to be expected, as wej represent a considerable number of voters on the coast." "But the handling of the opposition witnesses," he con tinued, "particularly Dan Al len, chairman of the Gover nor's Natural Resources Com mittee, was more reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition. "The senator's deliberate distortions and impuning of witnesses was certainly not a type of performance one could expect . from a senator. The hearings "were conducted in exceeding poor taste. I am in complete agreement with Sec retary Appling's analysis of the hearings," Hayes conclud ed. Hayes referred to Secretary of State Howell Appling's statements challenging Neu- berger, who said Friday that he had given more time at the hearings to hear oppo nents of the bill than propo nents. Appling charged that Neu- berger was "overbearing and that Neuberger's conduct at the hearings was "shocking. Neuberger Faces Dedication Problem The Dalles, Ore. - (UPD - Sen. Richard Neuberger's views on Republicanism may have tak en a turn for the worse Satur day. The Oregon Democrat and his wife faced these problems at the dedication of The Dalles dam Saturday headed by Vice President Richard Nixon:. At a luncheon afterward at The Dalles junior high school the Neubergers were invited by Nixon to join him at the head table. . - They got on the platform all right, but no seats were available. The senator and Mrs. Neu berger made a diplomatic re treat to a backstage room where other officials, police men and newsmen were hav ing a buffet. But the mix-up came to the attention of Nixon and he got the Neubergers back on the stage and into some seats. The other damper involved seating on the speakers' plat form at the. ceremony. All other dignitaries had their wives seated with them but somehow the Neubergers got separated and the senator made it to the platform, but Mrs. Neuberger sat in "the crowd. Khrushchev Gets Jubilant Welcome Moscow (DPD Soviet Pre mier JNiKita a. is.nrusncnev returned Saturday to a jubi lant Moscow homecoming which wag followed by pub lication of a speech in which he accused some American leaders of trying "to blame all their sins and misfortunes on us." v The capitalistic attempt to pass the buck to the Commu nists included the mass strikes they have," Khrush chev said. "Ever since private owner ship of the means of produc tion .and classes appeared, a constant struggle has been go ing on between labor and cap ital," he said, "and it will go on until it ends in victory for those who created all the ma terial values of life."

Hol- man, oi ciacKamas county juvenile court, said Saturday that passing a juvenile code "will not by itself prevent juvenile delinquency." Judge Holman spoke at luncheon meeting of the Ore gon Study Institute for Juve nile Needs at the Medford ho tel. He discussed Oregon's new juvenile code, which was passed by the legislature on recommendation of a legisla tive interim committee on ju dicial administration. "The new code," he said, provides for more orderly and complete procedures for the handling' of juvenile xf- ienders. It provideC that, the courts shall have the widest possible latitude in handling offenders that is commensu rate with their constitutional rights." Empty Gesture . The juvemle judge pointed out, however, that giving the judge the authority . to . cope with a situation is an empty gesture "unless he is also sup plied with the staff and facili ties necessary to do the job." He noted that the new code provides for a juvenile advi sory council, which the inter im committee thought that court operation and policies which were the result of rec ommendations arrived at after study by a committee of en lightened citizenry would more likely receive public support and approbation." He said that public opmion can be divided into two camps. One believes that there is no such thing as a bad child, that they should not be held responsible for what they do since it is not their fault and they should not be punish ed. This group, Judge Holman said, believes that the child should be given special privi leges to make up for his un fortunate background and ex periences. "The other group," he said, "believes that severe punish ment will take care of every thing and prevent any trans gressor from sinning again." Glaring Weaknesses Judge Holman said the "proper perspective lies some where in between and there is something to be said in favor of both their positions, but they are also subject to glaring weaknesses." " He said it is necessary that discipline be enforced, which in itself is a form of security, while understanding and kind ness is furnished. Insecurity, he said, is one of the major causes of delinquency .- 'The only way the factors in a child's background caus ing his insecurity can be dis covered is through an exhaus tive examination and investi gation of his family back ground. The more completely the picture of the child and his background is painted, the more likely it is that the dis turbing factors can be pin pointed and an attempt made at rectification," Judge Hol man said. Such examination and in vestigation requires an ade quate staff and facilities. London (DPD - The Soviet government has appointed Deputy Foreign Minister Vas ily Kuznetsov to lead the Rus sian delegation to the Wash ington conference on the Ant- arctic beginning Oct.' 15. Summit Meeting Seen Likely in Early December Geneva Seen As Logical Place Washington - (DPD - High American officials said Satur day the odds now are that the Big Four summit confer ence will take place in Geneva sometime" during the first 10 days of December. But noth ing is definite yet. Within the next few days the state department is expect ed to ask Britain, France and other interested allies to sub mit specific suggestions on time and place for the meet ing, along with ideas on the procedure for arranging it. Objections Removed The United States already has given its Western Allies a complete fill-in on President Eisenhower's Camp David talks with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and has told them the President's ob jections to a top-deck meeting have been removed. Both White House and state department sources pin-point early December as the most likely time although a few well placed officials think.it might come as early as the last week in November. And they point out that neutral Geneva, with all its conference facilities, is the logical place. Officials said that if the conference is not held before Dec. 10, it probably would have to be postponed until March or later. After mid December the President will be fully occupied on prepar ations of the new federal bud get and his state of the union address to Congress early in January. He could hardly leave in the early days of the new session. . No Reason To Delay There appears' to be, offic ials added, no reason why the summit meeting should have to be postponed until next year. They pointed out two reasons for meeting before mid-December: -The U.S. objections to a summit conference have been eliminated in large part as a result of Khrushchev's assur ance to Eisenhower that the Kremlin is not setting any time limit on the Berlin nego tiations. This, in effect, means Russia has withdrawn its ulti matum to the allies to pull out of West Berlin within a speci fied time or face the possi bility of a separate Russian peace treaty with East Ger many. -British pressure for an early meeting of Eisenhower, Khrushchev, Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and French President Charles de Gaulle is expected to intensify in the wake of the Conservative vic tory in last Thursday's British elections. Macmillan is report ed anxious ,to hold the sum mit conference as quickly as possible. Ashland Burn Area Re-Seeded A total of 518 acres of the Ashland burn, ravaged by flames last August, was being re-seeded to grass and clover Friday, Gene Winters, Jack son county extension agent, reported. Winters said William Rosen- balm, Medford pilot, was sow ing the seed by airplane. Ro senbalm's plane was carrying 700 pounds of seed each trip, enough to cover about 65 acres, Winters said. The re-seeding operation was the first for the burn un der a recently-approved ar rangement whereby the fed eral government finances 80 per cent of the cost within certain limits. Winters listed five Ashland residents as owners or opera tors of the 518 acres being seeded Friday: G. Homer Bill ings, John Billings, Veda Car ter, McKenzie McCulloch and Gail Brewer.

It is currently being rebuilt by county crews. Complaints have been re ceived from Brownsboro area residents, objecting both to the bridge's closure and to a lack of road barriers indi cating a detour for motorists approaching it. , Carstensen said barriers were being placed on the road. He explained that build ing a separate walkway across the creek by the bridge durr ing the construction work was considered impractical since it would take two days to erect ' and ' would cost more than $200 in materials. He said area residents had been approached before the bridge work started, and they had made no comment about the temporary bridge closure. He said the rebuilding project had been publicized to warn mail carriers, schools and resi dents of the temporary inconvenience. con- (UPI Telephoto) at ant exports. Mexico considers the U.

To Ike by Oct. 16 ; Washington-DPD-The special emergency fact-finding board set up by President Eisen hower to end the steel strike Saturday called key disput ants from both sides to a hear ing here Monday. The three-man board was named by the President under. Taft-Hartley act procedures as the first step in a series of government moves to bring the-day-old strike to an end with a federal court injunc tion. The board, headed by George W. Taylor, a Univers ity of Pennsylvania professor, will hold a preliminary meet ing today, then begin taking testimony from union and in dustry representatives Mon day. ; USW President Invited Invitations to testify were dispatched by telegram to United Steelworkers Union President David J. McDonald and to 78 steel companies in volved in the strike which the President declared yesterday has reached the proportions of a national emergency. The other two members of the fact-finding panel are Paul N. -Lehoczky, an Ohio State university professor, and John N. Perkins, president of Del aware university. All three are veteran labor arbitrators. Taylor was chairman of the war labor board during World War II. Several Days Seen - A labor department spokes man voiced belief hearings will go on for several days. The 12 major steel producers are represented ay a bargain ing team.

If it reports a na tional emergency exists, the government will then seek the injunction which would force the 500,000 steelworkers to return to their jobs for an 80-day "cooling off period. The board's members wil decide whether to go into the merits of the entire dispute or confine its report to the question whether the strike has created a national emer gency. Strategy Mapped Top union officials mapped strategy to fight the strike ending machinery set in mo tion by the president. This could include opposition in court when the attorney gen eral, at Eisenhower's behest, files for the injunction. Such a request, however, has never been refused .by a judge in the 12-year history of Taft-Hartley.
