He won an unexpected vic

Senate approved 50 - 39 his
amendment to make candi
dates in state primaries sub
ject to the spending limits
and reporting requirements of
general elections. It was the
first roll call of the session.
Approval Urged
Hennings, chairman of the
Senate Rules Committee, to
day urged the Senate to ap
prove a provision which
would bring into the open
spending by local and state
political committees.
He said candidates now
could report a minimum of
personal campaign spending
and turn over all other funds
to a local or state committee
not subject to reporting re
quirements. Hennings' rules committee
turned down the spending
amendment when it consider
ed the clean elections bill.

Efforts to Change
Clerks to Retail
Union to Continue
Efforts will continue to
sign up grocery store clerks
of this area with the Retail
Clerks union instead of the
Teamsters union, according to
Don Babbitt, a Medford groc
ery store clerk, who is spear
heading the effort.
Babbitt said he and his
committee hope to arrange a
meeting with a representative
of the Retail Clerks union
this week or the first part of
next week. Teamsters Local
911 now includes grocery
store clerks from the Grants
Pass-Medford Ashland area.
A Teamsters' spokesman
here estimated 100 grocery
clerks attended last night's
union local meeting and
"were pretty well convinced"
the Teamsters union offered
them the most benefits. "I
don't think they made much
h e a d w a y," a Teamsters'
spokesman said, "in the
switch proposed."

Before the second session of
the committee's investigation
of the administration's de

Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.)
said the nation's military air

investigation of where Amer

with Russia. The first witness
called was Livingston T. Mer

said Merchant would be ques

dermined U.S. diplomacy.
Farm: Sen. Stuart Syming
ton (D-Mo.), a possibility for

Babbitt said this morning
that the Teamsters "are not
looking out for our interests
at all." He also claimed that
the Teamsters have failed to
follow up on complaints made
by some grocery clerks and
fail to keep track of what
people are union members
and those who are not in the
various stores. The clerks are
seeking a raise over the pres
ent $2.12 an hour for journey

said.
The Teamsters' spokesman
said the grocery clerks have
been members of the Team
sters for 12 to 15 years and
receive better wages, hours,
working conditions and fringe
benefits than they could get
elsewhere.

COLD NEAR LAKEVIEW A frozen fantasy in below-zero
temperatures is created by 150-foot Crump's Geyser which
was set off north of Lakeview on July 1, 1959, by a drilling
crew. The water leaves the earth at 220 degrees in a stream
that spouts at least 30 feet higher than the world famous
Old Faithful geyser at Yellowstone Park. Icy winds whip
the water around the geyser, creating a sheet of ice so slick
that it is almost impossible for a man to walk across it.
