Curbing state traffic deaths is a major aim of his adminis tration and secret plans for an ultra-intensive traffic of fensive ordered by him go into effect today. Oregon recorded its bloodi est traffic year in 1959, with MEDFORDtTRIBUNE Regional Edition Page 2 Stocks Advance in Generally Routine Preholiday Trading By United Press International Millions of motorists headed for the open road today as the nation began its first official fling at spring, the three-day Me morial Day week end. The National Safety Council predicted 375 of them would never get home alive. If the council's grim pre diction comes true, the death toll will be a record for a Decoration Day holi d a y, eclipsing the 371 killed during the last three day Memorial Day week end in 1958.

(UPI Radiolelephoto) Herter Testimony 'X' Made Miscalcu Sn Torpedoing lalson (Continued from Page 1) President Eisenhower said Tluirsday that Khrushchev may have scuttled the sum mit under "pressure by the Stalinists and the Chinese Reds." In a 5,000 word opening statement Herter also said: The Soviet defense min ister, Marshal Itodion Maltn oVsky, who accompanied Khrushchev "literally every where" in Paris, may have been sent along so he "would be able to testify" upon re turning to Moscow that Khru shchev had "stuck strictly to the agreed position." .-Khrushchev made a "basic miscalculation" at Paris in thinking he could split the United States and its allies over the spy plane incident. U.S. Must Stay Calm '-There are no signs of any "radical alteration in Soviet policy" but "we can expect a continuation of a propaganda effort to split" the allies from the United States. -The United States must "keep a calm and steady gaze on the world scene" and avoid any action increasing tension. -The United States will continue to seek "business like" negotiations with Rus sia, with top priority being given to finding a way to halt the world arms race - "and thus to meet the nuclear men ace that hangs over mankind.' - Although the world's hopes have, been "keenly dis appointed" by the summit failure, "the signs so far are that the basic realities of the world situation have not been greatly changed." But the Soviet hierarchy, operating in the utmost secrecy, could always change course sudden ly. Hearing Room Searched A half hour before Herter went into the closed - door hearing, the committee room was given a thorough search by State Department security agents to be sure no concealed microphones or listening de vices were planted in the room. Chairman J. William Kill- bright (D-Ark.) launched the committee's closed hearing with a statement in which he assured Herter the ineiuiiy would not be conducted on a "partisan basis." Herter testified before the House Foreign Affairs Com mittee Thursday that Russia may be preparing "some new threatening act." The House group quoted Herter as saying at a closed session that Russia's moderate behavior since the summit blowup could be interpreted either "as a desire to avoid bringing on a war crisis or as psychological in order to pull the wool over our eyes. Expects New Red Move It said Herter anticipated "further spectacular action by the Russians in the months to come". President Eisenhower gave his complete approval to the Senate inquiry at a meeting Thursday wilh congressional leaders of both parties. He pledged the administration's complete cooperation. The Senate hearings, model eel after the l!).r)l inquiry into President Truman's firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur as Far Fast commander, were the Democratic leadership's answer In demands for an all-out congressional Investigation. Midas Spying Failure Hinted 492 victims high consider ing the lower number of cars compared with many other states. The new offensive is de scribed by those who know the plans as the most concen trated traffic enforcement ac tivity for a holiday period in Oregon history. Called Lethal Weapon "The automobile has be come a lethal weapon in irre sponsible hands," Hatfield de clared today. "It kills with all the finality of a gun, bomb or any other death-dealing de vice." Laws cannot prevent care lessness but their strict en forcement can be a stern re minder." He became governor in 1959 and launched his attack on careless holiday drivers during the 54 hours of the 1959 Memorial day week end. Violations Reported Planes observed motorists and reported violations to ground officers. Radar and unmarked patrol cars also were used. Hatfield personal ly flew in a helicopter over major freeways. But there still were 324 accidents, 133 injuries and five deaths. Nothing spectacular was at tempted last July 4 but last Christmas and New Year's, roadblocks were thrown up to check all drivers on routine items the idea being to slow everyone down. Yet Christmas accounted for 460 accidents, 88 injured and four dead. New York -H'PII- Stocks ad vanced in generally routine preholiday trading today. Some of the recently strong electronics came under pres sure during the first hour. Texas Instruments lost around 4 and Motorola nearly 3.

Wasliinulon -lul'li- There wore strong hints today that America's Midas spy-in-the- sky satellite probably will fail to signal back to earth any test rocket firings it spots. Lt. Cen. Bernard A. Schrie vcr, chief of the Air Research and Development Command, .sdiil tlu: data link telemetry system which transmits in frared scanner Information to ground stations has not been funelioniii properly. Radio commands are being senl to the satellite in an at tempt to ro-cslablish the data link, he said Thursday. However, Sehriever said, unless the link is repaired, the detection system cannot be tested in connection with scheduled missile launchiiiKs and ground flares. The tests were set up to cheek the satellite's ability to detect hidden nuclear bomb tests or missile firings. The Midas satellite, launch ed Tuesday, is a forerunner of a system of orbiting satel ! lites which could warn of sneak missile attacks.

The 70-year-old Nobel Prize winner's family said Paster nak also was having difficul ty eating because of stomach bleeding. Reports circulating here said Pasternak has lung can cer, but his brother Alexan der said "there has never been a question of lung cancer as far as the family knows." He added, however, that Paster nak did have lung trouble as a result of the pneumonia at tack. One of the three Kremlin heart specialists attending the writer said a blood transfu sion may be necessary tod-u but would be a "delicate bus iness." Pasternak is confined to his country dacha at Peredelkino a Moscow suburb, where he has lived in seclusion since his rejection of the 1058 No- bel Prize for literature. He turned down the prize aft Soviet Premier Nikita Khru shchev and leading Soviet writers criticized Pasternak s works and the Nobel awards Shell oil Soconv Mohil Oil ...

Plywood Mills Close Because ol Slumping Market Portland IUPD At least 58 plywood mills have shut down temporarily or plan to do so soon because of a slumping market, Crow's Lumber Di gest reported today. The shutdowns are expect ed to affect more than 5,000 workers in Oregon, Washing ton and California. Most of them are in Oregon. Some mills have announced week's shutdown while others said they would close until the market situation im proved. Roy Foy, manager of Ply wood Products Company in Corvallis, where 450 workers will be laid off next week, said it was hoped the cut backs in production would help the market. Weather Blamed Bad weather In the East and Midwest has been blamed at least in part for the current slump. Prices at most mills have been at a low of S64 for quarter - inch AD grade and at least one mill dropped to $60. Georgia-Pacific, one of the region's biggest producers, has predicted an upturn in prices soon. Crow's reported that Geor gia Pacific planned to shut down six mills, four in Ore gon and two in Washington, temporarily. Most producers hoped one week closure would help the market situation. M. L. Hopkins, general manager of Willamette Ply wood Corp. in Salem said "We can't operate until we get some business." Ike Week Ending At Gettysburg Farm Gettysburg, Pa. -IUPD- Presi dent Eisenhower played golf today in cool, cloudy weather to start off a long Memorial Day week end here. William E. Robinson, board chairman of Coca-Cola, and Brig. Gen. Arthur S. Nevins (ret.), manager of the Eisen hower farm, joined the Presi dent on the links. Eisenhower arrived at his farm by helicopter late Thurs day. Mrs. Eisenhower drove up from Washington. School Measure Faces Trouble Washington -4UPD- An antl- segregation provision in the House - passed S1.300, 000,000 school construction bill today endangered chances of any school aid legislation getting through Congress this year. The Democratic - sponsored bill, first general school con struction measure ever ap proved by the House, was passed 206-189 Thursday night after a day of dizzy par liamentary maneuvering. It now goes to the Senate, which passed a $1,8.13,000,000 bill in February without any ban against spending the money on segregated schools. The Senate version provides aid for teachers' salaries as well as classroom construc- I ii. The anti-segrc-gation amend ment in the House bill put the Senate on the spot and raised the likelihood of a deadlock between the two branches of Congress. The Senate faced the choice of risking a southern filibust er against the House bill or risking a roadblock in the House rules committee if it seeks a compromise between the two differing measures. Unemployment compensa tion benefits paid during 1959 amounted to slightly more than $2.25 billion, according to Commerce Clearing House. The total compared with pay ments of $3.5 billion in 1958.
