Adenauer, French President Agree Paris 'I'l'l' President Charles de Gaulle and West Genua ii Chancellor Konrari Adenauer called jointly Thursday for a political union of Europe. lit a joint communique winding up three days of talks here, the two leaders said It is desirable in agreement with their Common Market part ners ''to conclude as .soon as possible the discussions on de al ion of a political union which would consolidate the work already accomplished in the economic sphere." De Gaulle and Adenaur jointly voiced the hope that the current llrusscls negotia tions on Hritain's entry into the Common Market will suc ceed soon "with a view to reinforcing the building of Europe '' State Legislator Plans To Fight Highway Bonds Corvallis I11PH - State Rep. Dick Hoyt (R-Corvallis) today called on all state legislators to oppose further highway bond issues by the legislature. "When the people of Ore gon understand how costly and how damaging the financ ing of highways through bond isues is to our state highway system, Oregon will quickly return to pay as- you go meth ods," Hoyt said. The financial drain on high way funds to pay interest and retire bonds during the next few years will jeopardize the full matching of federal funds available for non-interstate highways, the Corvallis He publican said. Hoyt served as a member of t lie House High ways Committee during the 1901 session. Money Said Expensive "When those counties that are depending on the normal allocations of highway funds for their districts realize that every million dollars of high way bonds is costing their dis trict in new construction be tween $500,000 and $834,000 as is the case with the counties in northwest Oregon," he said, "they will oppose issu ance of more bonds." The 1961 legislature, he said, authorized highway bonds totaling $:)2 million. Over $27 million more were seriously considered but not passed, he said. KiRlil million dollars of the l!)(il bond authorization were "definitely contrary" to the spirit of the stale constitution, Hoyt said. Authority Denied The constitution specifically denies authority to the legisla ture to "pass special or local laws for laying, opening and working on highways," he said. Conservation Committee, and Arthur D. Stone, the office performance supervisor, ac knowledge this publicly be fore the Senate Investigations subcommittee. Their testimony was in di rect conflict with their prior sworn statements, portions of which had been read to the subcommittee. The pair, both career men with the depart ment's field service who have served since the 1930s, said they have resigned. Dumas and Stone admitted receiving money after the transaction had been outlined by Alphonse Calabrese, inves tigator for the subcommittee, and Parnell Biggerstaff, a one time Estes employee. Dumas testified he had re ceived the money and that he "gave one-half of it to Stone." Stone acknowledged he had received the payment. According to Biggerstaff, the two Oklahomans were paid the money for helping with data to guide him to farmers who were interested in transferring their cotton allotments. Biggerstaff testified that he delivered an envelope contain ing money to the Eufaula, Okla., office of the two men. He said he had not counted the contents but knew it con tained money because there was change in it. Calabrese testifed that the sum totalled exactly SI, 640.80. He said this computa tion was based on a memo listing 28 farmers who trans ferred 328.1 acres of cotton allotments to Texas at S5 per acre. Biggerstaff agreed that the S5 per acre basis had been approved by officials of Estes farm-finance empire, including Billie Sol's broth er, Bobby Frank. Eji.es. The investigations subcom mittee began detailed spade work in its study of Estes' I controversial cotton allot ment operations. I The Senate group is also : seeking to find out what Tex as officials did about a 19b0 memo stating that cotton lease-sale contracts used by Estes violated the law. Testimony at the outset was ! to feature a memo sent in De-. ! cembcr 1960 by H. L. Man i waring, then deputy adminis- trator for production adjust ! mcnt of the Agriculture De- partment's Commodity Stab ilization Service (CSS). The memo said the lease sale contracts employed by Estes were a scheme and a device in violation of he law. The subcommittee planned Foreign Briefs POPE TO TAKE UP SUMMER RESIDENCE Vatican City-HI'l Pope John XXIII is expected to move from the Vatican to his summer residence al Castelgandolfo in the cool Alban hills sometime next week, Vatican sources said today. MEANEY CHALLENGES EAST GERMANY Berlin-ilil'll-American labor leader George Meany chal lenged the East German communists Thursday to open their Berlin anti-refugee wall for one month, "This proposal is practical, it will endanger no one," Meany said. "Who has any reason lo fear the reunion of families on a breath of the fresh air of freedom for a trial period of one month?" JAPANESE TO ASK RESTRICTIONS ON RADIOS Tokyo-itl'li-Japanese diplomats will go lo Hong Kong later this month to ask the British Crown colony lo restrict its exports of transistor radios lo the United Stales, accord ing to the Kyodo news agency. Kyodo said radios assembled in Hong Kong with low. cost labor are underselling Japanese radios in the United Slates. PHILIPPINES. SPAIN PLEDGE TO FIGHT Madrid-tiPI'-The Philippines and Spain today pledged their "mutual determination" lo fight the communist threat against "the security and freedom of the peoples." An official communique released by the Spanish foreign office at the end of a six-day visit lo Spain by President Diosdado Macapagal said thai the Philippines had accepted a Spanish offer "to participate in Macapagal's economic plan" to raise the standards of living of Filipinos. ITALIAN PRINTERS GO OUT ON STRIKE Rome-iiriwllalian printers walked off the job today in a fresh strike which will leave Ially without newspapers for six of the next seven days. ADENAUER TOURS FRENCH PROVINCES Paris-lTlt-Wesl German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, smiling and rested, left Paris today for a two-day sightseeing tour of the French provinces, winding up three days of po litical talks with President Charles de Gaulle. to question officials ' of the Texas CSS committee to find out what treatment was given to Manwaring's memo and to an earlier memo, which in effect, gave approval to an other, unrelated allotment transfer arrangement. There were echoes of par tisan politics today in the Sen ate's week-old investigation of Estes. Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D.) announced that because Estes was a Democrat and a "big Democratic contributor," it will hurt the Democratic cause in this fall's elections. Sen. Edmund Muskie iD Maine), also a subcommittee member, retorted that any ma jor election-year investigation has "political overtones." He said there is no basil at this stage for finding "ei ther the Democratic or Re publican party clearly culpable."
