Steel Youngstown S Sc T New Procedure To Bring Cutback In Oregon Roads Salem -UPD- State Highway Engineer W. C. Williams said Monday that new federal pro cedures ' would result in a drastic cutback" in Oregon's federal aid highway program for the next nine months. The new procedures require that awarding of contracts be spaced out evenly with each state awarded a specific amount of money to be spent each quarter. Result will be that Oregon will have only $43 million to spend up to next June 30 instead of the $68 million ex pected from the federal gov ernment. Albany Route Delayed Before the ruling, states could proceed as fast as they could with contract awards without waiting for quarterly allotments The engineer estimated the highway program would be set back six months in the state and that it might take three years to catch up to schedule. . One result will be that the Albany-Eugene section of the Pacific highway will not be opened for about a year. The Highway Commission had hop ed to open at least the Albany- Halsey section this fall. Paving on the Albany-Hal-sey section was delayed by a piledrivers' strike. Champion Beef Ribbon Awarded . Portland - (LTD - Grand champion ribbon in 4-H beef competition Monday at the Pacific International Live stock Exposition here went to Paul Thome of Pendleton.

Only the tail section, in which those who survived were rid ing, remained intact after the plane crashed. The rest of ' the plane be came a funeral pyre for Baum and three others, two of them personnel of Braniff Air Lines for whom the airplane had been manufactured. Investigation Awaited Boeing officials, when pressed for clarification of the "misapplication" remark, said that any further explanation would have to wait until after an investigation which was to be conducted today by the Civil Aeronautics Board and Boeing. Boeing said their original statement was based on brief interviews with' survivors of the crash who were taken to Arlington, 'Wash,, hear the crash site.. After the engine pods ripped off, Boeing said, Baum "took over and recovered the airplane to level flight with power from the remaining en gine. The pilot made a con trolled wheel-up ' landing in the best available spot result ing in the saving of four lives. The four who survived had gone into the tail of the air plane which separated from the rest of the aircraft on im pact." ' ' Dead Identified Those who died with Baum were identified as George C. Hagan, 28, Boeing flight en gineer from Renton, i Wash., and Capt. John A. Burke, 49, and Capt. M. Frank Staley, 43, both of Braniff. , The survivors were listed as William Allsopp, Seattle, a Boeing pilot; William Hueb- ner of the Federal Aviation Agency and Al Krause and Fred Symmank of Braniff, Ike Said Urging Western Summit Conference Paris-(UPD-President Eisen hower has sent three letters to French President Charles de Gaulle in the past three weeks 'urging a Western sum mit meeting in Paris to pre pare for an East-West confer ence, diplomatic sources re ported today. ' French officials refused to confirm or deny the reports; - The sources said Eisenhow er's latest letter was delivered to de Gaulle on Friday. They said Eisenhower called for an early meeting of the West em "Big Four" to settle dif ferences of opinion before sit ting down with Soviet Pre mier Nikita S. Khrushchev for "cold war" talks. Invitation 'Inevitable' The sources said it was the third letter from Eisenhower Since his talks with Khru shchev at Camp David, Md., last 'month. According to . the sources, it is now almost inevitable that de Gaulle will invite Ei senhower, British Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan and West German Chancellor Kon rad Adenauer to Paris, pos sibly by the end of this month.

Indictments List Refusal To Appear Before Committee Washington-fEPD-The govern ment today charged four per sons, two of them high union" officials, with contempt of Congress for defying the Sen ate Rackets Committee. Indictments returned , by a federal Grand Jury here charged that each of the de fendants had been subpoenaed to testify before the Senate Rackets Committee, but either refused to appear or refused to give complete answers. One of those named was William Presser of University Heights, Ohio, head of the Ohio Conference of Teamsters and an old friend of teamsters President James R. Hoffa. . The others were Maurice A. Hutcheson, Indianapolis, Ind., president of the United Broth erhood of Carpenters; Ernest Mark High, New York, editor of Spotlight Publications; and Peter Licavoli, known as the leader of the so-called "Purple Gang" of Detroit, Alleged Christmas Gifts Hutcheson was charged on 18 counts involving his refusal to answer questions about al leged relationships with a Gary, Ind., teamsters official. Presser was accused of failure to supply records concerning alleged Christmas gifts to the teamsters. Licavoli and High were charged with refusing to sup ply records about quasi-labor publications. Hutcheson appeared before the committee, which ended 2Vz years of investigations in the labor - management field last summer, in June, 1958. He was charged today with refusing to say whether he knew Hoffa and Michael Sa wochka, secretary-treasurer of teamster Local 142 at Gary, Ind. - The indictment also - said Hutcheson refused to say whether he received teamster money in an Indiana land deal in return for supporting Hoffa in his fight to avoid ouster from the AFL-CIQ. On another count, Hutche son was charged with refusing to tell the rackets ; group whether carpenter union funds were paid to Max Raddock, a New York publisher, for personal expenses. Personal Records Involved ; Presser appeared before the committee in September, 1958, and according to today's indictment, testified that he had complied with the com mittee's subpoena for personal records. But the Grand Jury charg ed that Presser refused to say whether he destroyed any of his personal records after re ceiving the subpoena.

MEDFORDtTRIBUNE Regional Edition Page 2 Morse Proposes Special Session To Deal With Strike Portland - (l?D - Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) said Monday night Congress should be called into, special session to pass emergency legislation to deal with the steel strike. Morse said he believed a better law than Taft-Hartley was needed to handle strikes involving national health and safety. However, he said "there is no question that the Presi dent must take action under the Taft-Hartley law once the facts determine public health and safety are involved." He said .he did not advo cate compulsory arbitration but legislation modeled after the 1926 rail road labor act.
