France- Predict s victory - ded Reversal of General Assembly Resolution Seen: - United Nations, N.Y. - (LTD -France predicted today that the resolution - against " its atomic bomb tests in the Sa hara Desert- would be defeat ed in the U.N. General Assem bly despite its approval by the Assembly's Main Politi cal Committee Thursday. Qualified diplomatic sources agreed with the French view. They pointed out that the resolution, which "requests" France not to hold the tests, expected next spring, did not have the necessary two-third backing to assure Assembly approval. ; . . Defeat Called Victory The French called their 45 28 defeat in the political com mittee a "victory." There were also 20 abstentions. "It was a beautiful vic tory," French Disarmament Expert Jules Moch said. "The credit goes to the South American countries, who votr ed almost solidly against the resolution." Fifteen of the Latin coun tries backed France, with two against and three abstaining. The 82-nation main politi cal committee turned today to the third phase of its disarma ment debate, an Irish resolu tion that would limit member ship of the "nuclear club" to powers now in possession of nuclear might. . Apptal Opens Debate Irish External Affairs Min ister Frank Aiken opened the debate with an appeal based on reasoning the suspension f tests, now under negotia tion at Geneva, would not prevent manufacture of nu clear weapons and their trans fer by "have" to "have-not" countries. Jury Finds in Favor Of GP Defendants Grants Pass-A 5ury of nine women and three men return ed a verdict for the defend ants at 11:45 pjn. Thursday in the $310,000 damage suit in circuit court in Grants Pass. The case, brought by the mother of Carroll Simmons, 16, was against Philip Voland and Walter . Holm, Grants Pass lumbermen doing busi ness as Tree-Co Industries, who were cleared by the ver dict. Young Simmons, according to testimony, was run over while riding a bicycle by a lumber ..carrier operated un der lease by Tree-Co. Follow ing the" accident the boy's right leg was amputated, it was reported. Attorneys for the defendant were James Redden and Hugh Collins, both Medford. Plain tiffs attorneys were Robert Duncan, ' Medford and Sher man Smith, Grants Pass. The jury returned its ver dict after 7 hours of de liberation.. ... West Coast To Suspend Service at La Grande Washington 0JPD The Civil Aeronautics Board today au thorized West Coast Airlines to suspend service temporar ily at La ' Grande, Ore., on grounds there was not enough business there, f AUTO SMOG SOLUTION Working with a junked motor and a few hand-tooled parts, an engineer at Stanford, Calif., has come up with a possible solution to the auto smog problem. Ralph R. Heintz (above) shows off his "pre-combustion" chamber which fits into the spark plug well and into the motor's main firing chamber. By pre- exploding part of the fuel, nearer complete combustion is obtained. This, reduces con siderably the amount of hydrocarbon ex pelled into the air. In turn, it also allows the burning of lower-priced fuels such as diesel, kerosene, etc., and increases mileage, thereby increasing the economy of the motor. (UPI Telephoto) Device Enables Auto Engines To Use Less Fuel; Smog Factor Said To Be Considerably Cut Stanford, Calif. -(UP&- A 67- year-old inventor displayed a fairly simple device today which enabled a standard V eight auto engine to: -Run just as well on kero sene, alcohol or diesel fuel as it did on high-octane gasoline. .-Operate on 15. per cent less fuel than an ordinary engine. -Produce two - thirds less smog ingredients in its ex haust. - -Cut down exhaust produc tion of carbon monoxide to a point where it would be im possible to commit suicide in a converted car. The invention, known "as the "RAM Staticharge Combus tion System," was developed, by Jack Heintz in the garage of ' his home at Los Gatos, Calif. It was tested and is on display at the Stanford Uni versity engineering laboratory- - ; Heintz, former partner in the Jack and Heintz engineer ing firm i Detroit, said the modification could be applied to any auto engine for about $200 - and could be built into new engines at no increase in their cost. No Industry Offers The inventor said he hasn't been approached by the auto mobile industry in regard to the device and doesn't expect to be. "They're content with the status quo and more inter ested in covering up the de ficiencies of their engmes with smog - muffler systems than in improving their fuel burning potentials," he said Heintz said the auto indus try's experiments with muff ler systems which would des try unburned fuel . after . it leaves the engine by heat or catalytic action was "like in venting rubber gloves to re pair a leaking fountain pen. Professor A. Louis London, who supervised the tests in the laboratory here, said the only apparent drawbacks were "a somewhat noisier en gine" and "sbme sacrifice in maximum power." He said, however, that he believed the auto industry could cut the noise and boost the power if it tried. The key part of the test engine is the combustion chamber, Combustion takes place in two interconnected chambers a small "pre-combustion" chamber that fits .into the spark plug well, and in the main firing -chamber. The small chamber has a separate inlet valve. Futl-Air Ratio 'Lean' The system pumps fuel and air into the small chamber for light and medium loads and into both chambers for heavier loads. The ratio of fuel to air is extremely "lean" as in diesel engines and in contrast to the "fuel - rich" mixture! of most gasoline en gines. ' A spark plug ignites the mixture in the smaller cham ber, from which it explodes into the larger one. The result is over-all diesel-like combus tion, more complete than or dinary combustion. In tests simulating normal' driving, unburned hydrocar bons in the exhaust - the ele- rC 4 LIAR YOUR' APPEARANCE WITH BIFOCAL SHADOW!

Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, encountering an almost solid Nixon front on his pulse testing tour of the Far West, called today for a new look in U. S. foreign relations. The Republican governor, who appeared to have made little headway - in the vice president's political strong hold of Los Angeles Thursday, came here for a busy 13 hours of public appearances and meetings with northern Cali fornia GOP leaders. He will go to Eugene, Ore., late tonight. Snider Calls Special Meeting Medford Mayor John W. Snider has called a special meeting of the Medford city council for ,5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16, to consider rezoning requests on Biddle rd. and Crater Lake ave. The planning commission has been invited to attend the meeting and Chairman Paul Selby will address the coun cil to' interpret the commis sion's reasons for denying the original requests, Snider said. Although the public hear ings were concluded at the last council meeting, all in terested persons are welcome ments that- produce smog - were less than two per cent of the fuel, compared with five per cent for ordinary enignes. Tne wealthy and now re tired inventor developed the device as a hobby and seemed unconcerned whether or not it wastaken over by a manufacturer. Mediator Meets With Officials Of Newspapers - Portland-JCPD-A federal me diator met with officials of the Oregon Journal and the Ore gonan today as the two rival newspapers continued to pub lish an expanding combined edition in the face of a Stereo typers' strike. .''" Mediator Elmer . Williams met Thursday afternoon with the stereotypers "to explore some avenue of getting nego tiations back on the track." "I don't want to indicate any hopeful progress yet," Williams said. The union struck the after noon Journal and the morning Oregonian at 5 a.m. Tuesday. The two newspapers then be gan publishing their combined edition in the ' Oregonian building. , 350.000 Copies .Wednesday's two, editions totaled more than1 200,000 copies and Thursday, manage ment officials said, about 350, 000 copies rolled off the presses. ' ' ' The newspapers 'was ex panded in size from 24 to 32 pages Thursday. The papers plan to publish Sunday edi tions as well. Editors and department heads covered highlights of the news. Most craftsmen stayed out although employ ees of the engraving depart ment, who refused to pass picket lines Wednesday, re turned to work' Thursday. The strike came after the two sides reached a deadlock on working conditions includ ing the number of men to man a new machine. Dnquest Refused in Death Dnvolvliig Ambassador's Son Washington -(DPD- Coroner A. Magruder McDonald re fused today to hold an in quest into the auto '''fatality involving the Irish " ambassa dor's son because he felt the son's diplomatic immunity made the hearings meaning- i less. McDonald said that he had been informed that David P. Hearne, 21, the ambassador's son, was still on the "white list of the State Department" -under the protection of dip lomatic immunity. Selwyn Lloyd Urges Summit Soon as Practical London (DPD' British For eign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd said today he thought there should be an East-West sum mit meeting "as soon as it is practical" after the March meeting between French President Charles de Gaulle and Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev. Lloyd, arriving from Paris, said he believed his visit there had improved relations between Britain and France. Asked whether he thought France was dragging its feet to the summit, he replied, "I do not really think so." Two Conferences "Informed sources in Paris said Lloyd further agreed with de Gaulle there should be two western summit con ferences before a meeting with Khrushchev. Before leaving Paris, Lloyd said he was satisfied with the results of his talks. Ail announcement Thurs day that de Gaulle will make a formal state visit to London April 5-8' was a good indica tion that Britain had given up its hopes of a summit meet ing before then. To Fit in Visit De Gaulle will be busy en taining Khrushchev during a two-week visit to Paris be ginning March 15. De Gaulle's visit to London comes soon after "Khrushchev leaves and Thursday U. "S. Secretary of State Christian Herter said de Gaulle's U. S. visit would have to be fitted into the loose schedule of international meetings prior to the summit. i Since de Gaulle wants to visit -Washington, before the summit meeting, it appeared today the East -West confer ence1 may be delayed until summer, and that the British are now resigned to the delay. PLAN COW PROTECTION Lockport, N. Y. -(DPD- Civil Defense officials r in western New York's Niagara County are making plans for a big cattle roundup. They want to make sure the area's 2,000 dairy cattle are herded to safety in the event of a nu clear attack. . - Case Closed v McDonald said "I declare these proceedings null and void." He excused all wit nesses and told newsmen that his action meant the case was closed. - The Ambbassador's son was driving a car Wednesday night which struck and killed Mrs. Jossie Hamlin, 54. .. Young Hearne and David McGowan, 24, a fellow stu dent at American University, showed up for the inquest this morning accompanied by At torney Henry G. Beauregard. Beauregard asked the cor oner for a brief recess after McDonald , announced that U. S. Attorney Morie Dunie had informed him that young Hearne was still on the White List of diplomatic immunity. No Jurisdiction'' Dunie told reporters that in his opinion any proceeding was meaningless because no U. S. court would exercise jurisdiction in the case be cause of the youth's immun ity. Beauregard confirmed that David was still claiming the diplomatic immunity which had freed him from police charges at the time of the ac cident. - The immunity protects for eign diplomats and their fam ilies from any criminal or civil prosecution. The Irish government could have waived the immunity. Scrapes With Police Young Hearne, who has been in repeated scrapes with police, was not required to show up at the inquest. But his . 66-year-old father, Am bassador John J. Hearne, had pledged that he would appear. ' Before the hearing, McDon ald said the six-man jury could have arrived at one of three verdicts, that Hearne was responsible, that Mrs. Hamlin was responsible or that the death was an un avoidable accident.
