Both men were arraigned on grand jury secret indictments returned July 30. They are both free on $3,500 bail each. Deny Implication Robert A. Boyer, Medford lawyer, representing the men, said in a statement today that his clients have denied any implication in the fires. He added they had no idea what circumstances may have indi cated that they were involved, but that they intended to clear the matter up just as soon as possible. Boyer said the families of both men have been beset by telephone calls and messages from well wishers and friends and "both indicated a deep gratification for the many peo ple who have expressed their conviction in the innocence of both men." The lawyer stated that he had no idea of the evidence presented to the grand jury, but that thus far neither of the defendants had appeared beforc any tribunal nor had J ceive their type 3 vaccine al chance to dispute the charg- j the county clinic in June, or es against them. ; who started their vaccine pro- Boyer added that it is possi-, gram at the July 11 clinic in ble for one to be indicted pure- the courthouse, should re ly on hearsay and other evi- j ceive the type 3 vaccine at dence that "would not be al-the makeup clinic Aug. 17. lowed in any court of law." ; Dr. Miller reminded. mm ITIMS FROM ZORIN SEES HOPE FOR SOLUTION , Gonvs-'IH-Soviel Deputy Fortign Zorin (aid today that an American shift in position on the number of On tile inspections lest ban treaty "gies us greet NSLI VOTE DELAYED IN HOUSE Waihington-in-House leaders today temporarily delayed , by Gov.

Railroad attorney Howard Neitzert announced the dra matic shift in strategy at the close of a hearing in U.S. Dis trict Court. The hearing was on a petition by five on-train brotherhoods for an injunc tion barring the roads from putting the presidential com mission's recommendations in to operation Aug. 16. The railroads said they were serving notice that they would put into effect their original demands of Nov. 2. 1059, which called for wide spread elimination of fire men's jobs on the railroads and which also called for longer runs by rail employees. The announcement appear ed likely to throw the case out of the federal courts and pave the way for appointment of a presidential emergency board to head off a crippling nation-wide rail strike. The on-train brotherhoods represent 200.000 rail work ers.

The Nov. 2 de mands, in addition to eliminat ing the firemen's jobs, would give the railroads wide power over how and when employees could be used James E. Wolfe, chief nego tiator for the railroads, said labor secrtary Arthur J. Gold berg had told the unions the administration intended to "exhaust every means under the Railway Labor Act to avoid a catastrophic strike." The union move was the latest skirmish in a three-year battle that has involved . the White House and poised the threat of a nationwide rail strike for the first time since the 1940s.

If the direction is disobey ed, he said, "we shall have to wait and see." The spokesman added that El Al did not necessarily have to fly Soblen to the United States. All it was ordeied to do was to make the necessary arrangements.

There were ho notes. However, authorities point ed out that notes are left in less than 40 per cent of sui cide cases. The ' team of psychiatrists said they were trying to learn if the apparent overdose of drugs that killed the screen beauty was taken on purpose or accidentally. . However, Dr. Theodore J. Curphey, Los Angeles county coroner, said flatly that Miss Monroe's death "definitely was not from natural causes." Curphey said that "on the surface" the death of the ac tress "might appear' to be suicide." Curphey added that a toxl- co logical examination was under way to identify the death drug, believed to be nembutal (sleeping pills) and to determine the alcoholic content of Miss Monroe's blood. Meanwhile, the star's half sister, Mrs. Bernice Miracle, Gainesville, Fla., sent word she planned to come to Los Angeles as soon as possible. She asked that Marilyn's former husband, Joe DiMag gio, and the star's attorney, Milton Rudln, begin making funeral arrangements. Services Wednesdey Services for Miss Monroe are tentatively scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at West wood Village Mortuary Chap el in West Los Angeles. Miss Monroe's body was discovered by her psychia trist, Dr. Ralph Grcenson, who used a fireplace poker to smash through the bedroom window shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday. Saturday evening she had called her psychiatrist to complain that she could nut sleep and was told to go for a ride. Oregon Cities League Plans Survey I,ive committee of the League ine commuice sain inc sur vey was prompted by com plaints from smaller cities about the audit being too ex pensive. Under state law, the cities are required to have au dits. Sister City Plans Backed Herman Kehrli of Eugene, executive secretary of the group, said one small city complained that half Its tax levy went to pay the cost of the audit. The committee reaffirmed its support of the sister city High Altitude Blast Touched Off In Arctic Region 40-Megaton Force Estimated Moscow fUPD The Soviet Union resumed nuclear test ing Sunday with a tremendous high - altitude explosion near the Arctic island of Novaya Zemlaya but the Russian peo ple were not told about it through their newspapers and radios. The scismological institute at Uppsala. Sweden, estimated the force in the range of 40 megatons - equivalent of 40 million tons of TNT - making it probably the second most powerful explosion ever set off. Anniversary Observed But today Soviet news out lets concentrated on the first anniversary of the 17 orbit flight of Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov and sang the praises of Russia's explora tion into space for "exclusive ly peaceful purposes." At the same tune the Soviet Communist party newspaper Pravda denounced "enemies of peace . . . trying to turn outer space into an arena of aggression." "Is it not time that this is proved by the explosions staged in outer space by American atom mongers?" Pravda asked. The only explosion to ex ceed Sunday's test in force was Russia's giant blast last fall which was estimated at over 50 megatons. That blast occurred during the Soviet series that broke the three year East West moratorium on testing. As with previous tests, Kremlin leaders made no an nouncement of Sunday's re sumption of testing. Russians in the streets first learned of the blast from Western cor respondents. The. U.; S. Atomic Energy Commission in Washington re ported the explosion but gave no details. The start of the new Soviet series, forecast by Kremlin leaders for several weeks, came as delegates to the 17 natlon disarmament confer ence in Geneva settled down for further negotiations on a test ban treaty. Premier Niklta S. Khrush chev and other Soviet leaders have contended that Russia was forced into new tests be cause of the American tests in the Pacific started last April. Gov.
