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.

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.

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.

Pasternak May
Have Transfusion
Moscow -lUI'll- Soviet writi 1
Boris Pasternak, in serious
condition after two heart at
tacks and pneumonia, may
undergo a blood transfusion
today.
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

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.
