Nails punctured tires of more than a score of southbound automobiles which caused a commuter-hour traffic jam. James Rodrigues, San Carlos, one of a 10-man crew from the division of highways, is shown sweeping up a pile of the nails. (UP! Telepholo) Appeals For Stand on Russ Share of UN Funds United Nations, N.Y. (UPD Britain Wednesday appealed to the Afro-Asian nations to itand with the West in pre venting the Soviet Union from "defaulting" on its share of the $10 million - a - month Congo operation. British delegate A. H. M. Hillis, speaking in the Gen eral Assembly's Budget Com mittee, supported the United States demand that The Con go expense be made part of the regular U.N. budget so as to force Russian payment. As he spoke in the second day of a heated debate on the Congo fund, it was learned the U.S. government quietly had deposited $20 million with the world organization to bail it out of a Soviet fdstered cash shortage. jThe advance was made without any fanfare. No an nouncement has been made either by the United States or the United Nations. Highly reliable sources said Washington advanced t h e funds last week, shortly after Secretary General Dag Ham marskjold warned the United Nations needed .$20 million to meet its obligations up to the end of this year because of the extra strain of the Congo operations. . Technically the advance was not made available for the critical financing problem of The Congo operation. Of the total, $12 million was earmarked against the U.S. pledge to the U.N.- expanded technical assistance program and the remainder against its promised contribution to the special fund for economic de velopment. But it was possible for Hammarskjold to bor row from the special fund and the assistance program for the United Nation's immediate needs. Russia, in its "oust Ham marskjold" campaign, already has accused the secretary gem eral of bringing the United Nations ;to the brink ' of fi nancial .disaster; by shuffling monies from the organiza tion's various funds. Soviet Delegate Alexei A. Roschin charged in the Gen eral Assembly's administra tive and budgetary committee that Hammarskjold s financial procedures were "illegal" and carried out without authori zation of any responsible U.N. body. The 99 - nation committee had before it a United States offer to pay about half of the cost of The Congo operation if it is made part of the regu lar U.N. budget. Putting The Congo costs into the budget would force Russia to pay a share for the operation to ward which it has announced it would not contribute a kopeck. State Fair Shows $107,432 Profit For 1960 Season Salem - (UPD - The 1960 Oregon State Fair made a record profit of $107,432, the State Fair commission has been told. Fair Manager Howard Ma ple said this compares to the 1959 profit of $66,000. The 1960 profit included $64,143 in cash and the rest in capital improvements. Only two events - the horse show and the stage review -lost money, Maple said. The commission ruled out the horse show for 1961 and awarded the rodeo contract to Christensen Brothers . of Eugene. Horse Racing Limited The commission voted to limit horse racing next year to thoroughbreds, doing away with harness racing. , ( ' Mrs. C. H. Rundell, Port land, was signed as art super intendent for- the 1961 fair. She has served in previous years and was not a part of the controversy this year be tween traditional and modern artists. The commission decided earlier to segregate tradition al and modern art at the next fair, and each will be judged s¶tely. The commission gave a four-year contract to West Coast shows of San Francisco paving the way for an am bitious "Storybook Village" kiddieland for next year's fair. NEWS FLASH!

Clark, (D-Pa.), has advocated party action which could cost such southerners as Sens. Harry F. Byrd of Vir ginia and James O. Eastland their committee chairman ships in the new congress. He did not mention either Byrd or Eastland by name but urged that Democrats who "failed to support" the candi dacy of president-elect John F. Kennedy or opposed the Democratic platform be barred nom heading senate committees. Byrd is chairman of the sen ate finance committee which passes on all tax legislation; Eastland is chairman of the judiciary committee which controls most civil rights bills. Opposes Planks Byrd declined to support either presidential candidate this year. Eastland came out in support of Kennedy but is known to oppose strongly the liberal civil right planks in the platform. In another development, Sen. Clifford P. Case, (R-N.J.), said he opposed any attempt by Republicans and Southern Democrats in the Senate to team up "to block progressive legislation" in the next Con gress. He hinted that the success of liberal Republican candi dates in the election indi cated such a maneuver was op posed by the voters. "Speaking for myself, and I am sure I am not alone in this, I believe Republicans should join the Democratic majority in supporting con structive legislation," Case said in a statement. "While we shall have to ex amine the specifics of any par ticular proposal, we should not block merely for the sake of obstructionism," Case said. Appointment Block Urged Clark urged that the Sen ate Democrats block appoint ment of new members to a committee if they oppose the party's platform pledges in the area in which the commit tee has jurisdiction. Clark's proposals, set forth in letters to Democratic mem bers of the Senate, obviously was aimed at Southern Dem ocrats. The Pennsylvania Democrat said his proposals were de signed to insure that commit tee posts be filled "in such a way as to reflect the true cen ters of Democratic strength in the nation." "We must not approve the designation of committee chairmen and new appointees to key committees of mem bers who have failed to sup port, the national ticket," Clark said, "or those who op pose the platform pledges in the area in which the commit tee has jurisdiction." Clark also said he had writ ten to every member of the Senate urging "bipartisan sup port of the rules reform ef fort which will be the first order of business for the Sen ate as soon as it convenes on Jan. 3, 1961." Modernization Necessary He said Senate members were aware that party plat form commitments can be come law only if the Senate rules are modernized. In an earlier interview, Sen ate Republican Leader Ever ett M. Dirksen, (ill.), also re jected any policy for congres sional Republicans based on the idea that it is the function of the opposition to oppose the legislative program of any administration. Dirksen said, however, that Republicans! tration when they think such will try to defeat-or moditfy- action is in the national in programs of the new adminis-l terest. Don't Put Off Any Longer!

Cancer Cure May Hinge on Cell Growth Possible Philadelphia, Science Serv ifoThp ptirinrps of curing can cer may hinge on the number of tumor cells capable of growth, the National Acad emy of Sciences meeting here was told. rip Mortimer L. Mendel sohn of the University of Pennsylvania School of Med icine reported that the chances of curing a tumor at any particular dose of radia tion are roughly proportional to the number of cells in the tumor capable of growth. Chemical approaches to can- Im.lmant pnpnH nn cell reproduction. This means that only the promeraiing, or multiplying, cells take up the "poison." A fraction of cells that are temporarily non growing are immune to the effects of chemical agents. Reliable Sign Speaking on the "growth fraction," defined as the ratio of multiplying to total cells, Mendelsohn said that a re liable indication of cell di vision is the incorporation of thymidine into the nuclei of cells. The cells, which are labeled with radioactlive tri tium, can be identified on an autoradiograph. The assumption that the tumor can be represented by only two cell populations may be an oversimplification, Men delsohn said, and further stud ies will be needed to confirm the results. Experiments with breast tumors in mice, however, show the "growth fraction is reasonably stable in any one tumor between the sec ond and ninth days atler in jection with triuum-iaoeiea thymidine. Average Ex-GI Pays $221 in Taxes The average ex-GI with an Oregon veterans' farm and home loan paid a property tax of $221 this year, com pared to $195 last year and $168 in 1958, according to Roy V. Bell, auditor for the state department of veterans' affairs. In Jackson county, the taxi on 759 properties amounted to 5160,280.46. The average tax here was $211.17, lower than the statewide average. In Josephine county the tax on 332 properties amount ed to $53,587.75, an average of $161.41. ; Pear Quarantine Testimony Slated Los Angeles - flJPII - Testi mony given at a Department of Agriculture hearing on southern California's pear or chards will be presented to the state director of agricul ture for a decision. Shippers and growers from northern California, Oregon and Washington were among those testifying at Tuesday's session.
