British Star Becomes Most Sought-After Actor in Hollywood Pacific Northwest ports gain- pip .fj&t, The lower Columbia river ports of Vancouver, Long view, Astoria, and the Port of Portland commission joined in a petition asking the inter state commerce commission to suspend the reductions scheduled to go into effect Sept. 30. Votes Support In Pendleton Tuesday night the legislative interim com mittee on agriculture voted to support the proposed rate reductions. The committees resolution" asked the Port of Portland, the dock commis sion and other public bodies to refrain from action oppos ing the rate reductions. Railroads have said the re ductions would bring an esti mated saving to Northwest wheat growers of $7 million a year. The petition approved by the lower Columbia river ports was prepared by the Portland commission of pub lic docks. The deadline for filing the petition is Sept. 18. The dock commission in Portland said the action taken today was not aimed at any particular form of transporta tion but that the ICC was be ing asked to make a thorough investigation of the effect of the reductions on competitive carriers. Lengthy Consideration It said the decision to join in the request for suspension was made "only after a lengthy consideration of the possible effect of the proposed rates on up-county farmers, on other commodity rates, and on the economic justification of navigation improvements in the Columbia river system, including the 40 -foot chan nel." The ports who were repre sented expressed themselves as favoring the lowest pos sible rates for all forms of transportation which are com pensatory and which would not drive any mode of trans portation out of a particular field. if!

P6E Authorized By FPC to Build Round Butte Dam Portland - Round Butte, the controversial $72 million Deschutes river hydroelectric project to be built by Portland General Electric com p a n y, has been authorized by the federal power commission in Washington, D.C. The license for the project, which will be the biggest dam ever to be built within Ore' gon, was offered in the form of an amendment to the exist ing Pelton Dam license. Thomas W. Delzell, the util ity's board chairman and chief executive officer, commenting on the license offer, said: 'W have not yet had an oppor tunity to examine the license in detail, but on the basis of the information we have re ceived the license appears entirely satisfactory. One Change Made Only one change was made by the FPC in PGE s license application. The power commission or der specifies that PGE must provide a downstream river flow of 3500 cubic feet per second during March, April, May and June. The utility had requested that the mini mum flows be set at 3000 cfs during April, 3S00 cfs during May and 4000 cfs during June. Round Butte will almost double the output of PGE's seven existing projects. Its capacity will be 300,000 kilo watts with an estimated aver age yearly output of 925 mil lion kilowatt-hours. It will take three years to build. Will Flood Park The giant earth-fill dam will back up waters to flood Cove State Park, but PGE will finance two larger parks in replacement. Negotiations now are under way with the state highway department for planning of the new parks. The lake formed by Round Butte will have 60 miles of scenic shoreline and is to be named for Billy Chinook, Warm Springs Indian hero and scout for explorer captain J. C. Fremont. PGE chief executive Del zell said his company was "ex tremely gratified" that the PFC has granted the license, and he indicated the utility was anxious to start construc tion. He pointed out, however, that a state license application was still pending before the state Water Resources board. "We are hoping that the state agency will take early and favorable action on the matter," Delzell concluded. By VERNON SCOTT Hollywood - (UPD - On the basis of a single movie, Brit ish star Laurence Harvey has become the most sought-after actor in Hollywood - more so than box-office champ Rock Hudson and clan leader Frank Sinatra combined. Harvey, nominated for an Oscar this year for his per formance in "Room at the Top," has reached the top and finds more room there than he had expected. The ex-Shakespearean has already signed for five more pictures and has enough oth ers lined up to keep him work ing for the next three years. His explanation: "There is a demand for me because there's a shortage of leading men." Not particularly handsome, and unschooled in New York's method" of mumbling, scratching and eye shifting, Harvey is unique. Scripts Important If I accept all the offers, I can go from one picture to the next for 10 years," he said. "The important thing is good scripts. If an actor can find the right property he doesn't have to worry about money. They are a form of collateral that can bartered for financing." The sandy-haired English man has acquired several properties himself and has formed his own production company. But before he opelis store, he is duly bound to star in "The Spinster," "Summer and Smoke," "A Borrowed Life," "A Distant Trumpet" and "The Long, the Short and the Tall." Portrays Russian "I play an Englishman only in 'The Spinster.' In the others I 'portray a Southerner, a Russian, a Yale man and var ious Europeans," said 31-year-old Harvey. Another measure of his sudden success is his leading ladies. He Is scheduled to work with Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Novak, Ava Gardner and Shirley RIacLaine. "There's a sixth picture that I neglected to mention," he said. "I must leave for Tokyo this week to scout locations for 'Tamika.' "That's another exciting thing about making movies today. My films will be made all over the world. Instead of staying in one place posing like ladies and gentlemen, actors have become tramps and vagabonds again."

Head Capacity Of Ancient Man Said Determined Washington - (Science Serv ice) - Oreopithecus bambolii, the ancient man-like creature who walked the earth in what is now Italy some 12.000,000 years ago has had his skull pieced together and the cra nial capacity determined. His cranial capacity can "reasonably be regarded" as somewhere between 276 and 529 cubic centimeters, Drs. William L. Straus Jr. and Miguel A. Schon, anatomists of Johns Hopkins university in Baltimore. Md., who made the determination, reported in the current issue of Science. The cranial capacity of the ancient Oreopithecus almost certainly falls within the ranges of variation of two of the great apes, the orang-utan and the chimpanzee, the scien tists reported. The cranial capacity is much larger than that record ed for an Old World monkey, they said. Super-Family The cranial capacity defi nitely identifies Oreopithecus as a member of the Hominoi dea, the super-family that in cludes both the anthropoid apes and man and his imme diate forerunners. The recon struction, however, the scien tists conclude, is of no help in deciding whether this creature belongs among the f Beafness" Merely Self-Consciousness New York -(Science Service)- The "beatness" of to day's beatniks is merely apathy grown self-conscious. Dr. Edwin H. Powell of the University of Buffalo told the American Sociological associa tion annual meeting here. The rebellion of the "beat generation" represents a shift from radicalism to bohemian ism, from active protest against an institutional order to a preoccupation with per sonal relations. Where a radical would try to change society, the beatnik revolts by trying to establish an individual identity. This identity he achieves through a refusal to act. The "beat" cult enables the individual to stand apart without standing for any ideology. All the eccentric ex pressions of the cult, such as rites, rituals, dress and a spe cial slang, contribute to this feeling of apartness. Dr. Powell and the use of drugs and religious mysticism may also enhance this feeling. apes, man and his cousins, or In a family of his own. The ancient skull was found In 1958 embedded in a coal mine at Baccinello, Italy, al though an earlier specimen was described in the scientific literature of 1872, by Dr. Paul Gervais and wrongly identi fied as a monkey. The many bone fragments were pieced together and a plaster recon struction of the skull was made by the Swiss scientist, Dr. JohAnnes Hurzeler, l"""T MAIL ORDERS NOW FOR RESERVED SEATS OCT.

The University of Michigan's head of radio astronomy, Prof. Fred T. Had dock, reported the univer sity's pioneer measurements to the 13th General Assembly of the International Scientific Radio Union here. The scientists used the uni versity's 85-foot radio tele scope. The data showed Sat urn's atmospheric temperature is minus 283 degrees Fahren heit. The gas-surrounded star -called planetary nebula, New Galactic Catalog 8343 - is a,. 000 light years away. i . : v i: AvJ ::r J'r fn - : Beach at Wailua on th Mand of Kauai -i -n $sm$Q$x!mo " i n n . 4 suqar I cell -: ' ; ; y L ivl PURE CANE hiyf co.''
