TROUBLE FOR MOTORISTS - Explosive
utterances were pointed at this spot when
a 100-pound carton of nails bounced of! a
truck and scattered for three-quarters of a
mile along the freeway near San Mateo,
.Calif. 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.

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.

Senator Advocates Action in Failure To Back Candidate
Washington - tUPll - Sen.
Joseph S. 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.

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. Pear crops have been
declining recently in those
areas and the quarantine was
suggested to help prevent
spread of disease to orchards
