Sustained Yield
Food Program
Plans Revealed
Corvallis -IllPIl- An interna
tional project aimed at devel
oping a sustained yield food
program to meet the world's
population explosion was de
scribed here Thursday night
by an eminent geneticist.
Dr. G. Ledyard Stebbins,
secretary-general of the Inter
national Union of Biological
Sciences, and geneticist at the
University of California, re
vealed outlines of the long
range project at the conven
tion of the American Institute
of Biological Sciences.
The AIBS is concluding its
week-long conference at Ore
gon State University today.
Almost 4,200 scientists from
all states in the union, eight
Canadian provinces and sev
eral nations attended the con
ference, making it the largest
AIBS meeting ever held and
the largest gathering of scien
tists ever seen in the North
west. At least 32 nations - includ
ing the United States and Rus
sia - will participate in the
international biological pro
gram that is scheduled to
begin after 1965, Dr. Stebbins
said. It will last from three
to five years, he said.
Pool Knowledge
He said it will be patterned
somewhat after the recent In
ternational Geophysical Year.
It will call on the world's
plant and animal scientists,
biochemists, geneticists, geog
raphers, physiologists and oth
er biologists to combine their
knowledge toward the food
problem, he said.
The overall research will
be carried on under the gen
eral title, "The Biological Ba
sis of Productivity and Hu
man Welfare."

Holiday Traffic
Expected To Take
410 to 490 Lives
By United Press International
Nearly 75 million American
motorists will begin taking to
the highways today for a 78
hour Labor Day holiday from
which hundreds may never

490 persons will be killed in
traffic accidents during sum
mer's last three - day week
end. As many as 20,000 may
be injured, the council said.

cent boost in travel over the
same period last y ar.

Subscription Rates
For Paper Increase
Subscription rates for the
Mail Tribune will be increas
ed effective Sept. 1, according
to Dale Erickson, circulation
manager.
The increase has been made
necessary by increased oper
ating costs and margins to
carriers, who act as independ
ent merchants, Erickson said.
The last raise in Mail Tribune
rates was in September, 1956.
The new rates by carrier
will be $21 per year, $10.50
for six months; $5.25 for three
months; $1.75 for one month;
and 50 cents per week.
Mail rates will also be in
creased. For one year the
price will be $18 instead of
$15; six months will cost $10,
rather than $8, and the price
for three months will be $5
rather than $4.25.
During the annual Mail
Tribune Bargain Days, sub
scribers may order the news
paper at the old rates of $18
per year by carrier, and $15
per year by mall in Jackson,
Josephine, and Siskiyou coun
ties. Bargain days will take
place from Sept. 8 through 17.

Subcommittee
Recommends
Senate Action
Officers Defy
Request for Data
Washington -HIPP- The Sen
a t e antitrust subcommittee
voted today to recommend
contempt of Congress citations
against four big steel com
panies and nine of their of
ficers for defying subpoenas
for production cost data.
The vote was 5-2 along
straight party lines. The
eighth member of the com
mittee. Sen. Alexander Wiley
(R - Wis.) was out of town.
Democrats cast the majority
votes.
Fail To Show Up
The action came only a few
hours alter the four com
panies and the nine officers
failed to show up as ordered
by the subcommittee, headed
by Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-
Tenn.) and to produce the re
quested cost data.
Kefauver had accused the
four firms and defiant execu
tives or "contumacious con
duct" when they failed to ap
pear at the hearing.
Four empty witness chairs
mutely testified to the com
panies' boycott of the hearing.
Subpoenas had been served on
both the officials and the com
panies ordering their appear
ance. After calling the roll of the
four companies - Bethlehem,
Republic, National and Arm
co - and the nine subpoenaed
officials, Kefauver denounced
their refusals to appear as
"willful premeditated c o n
tempt of Congress and the
processes of a duly author
ized committee."
Had Closed Session
After oral wrangling be
tween Democrats and Repub
licans, Kefauver called a
closed door meeting for this
afternoon to seek action on
the contempt resolution.
Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R
III.) protested Kefauver's use
of adjectives such as "con
tumacious" and "obstinate" in
referring to the steel execu
tives. He said he did not ihink
the adjectives should be used
on a citizen who was doing
"what he feels was within his
rights.."
. Via urging contempt action,
Kefauver said: "It is amazing
that such representatives of
these large steel companies
completely ignored a duly
constituted committee in de
fiance of the Senate and its
processes.
Points io Agreement
He said their conduct was
"even more amazing" inas
much as the subcommittee had
worked out an agreement
with U.S. Steel and seven
other companies to keep all
cost data confidential.
To bring contempt action
against the nine executives,
the citations must be ap
proved by the subcommittee's
parent Judiciary Committee
and the Senate. The citations
would then be sent to the
Justice Department for pros
ecution. Jackie, Caroline

The Oceanlake city councST
decided informally last week
to remain on fast time until
Sept. 30, but on Wednesday

time when schools start next

plan to go along.
No Problem In Medford
Cities that remained on
standard time, such as Salem,
Roscburg, Medford, Coos Bay,
and Ashland, have no prob
lem. In November, voters will
decide if Oregon will have un
iform daylight time next sum
mer. The five "legal list"
counties got fast time because
of a 1061 legislative act and
the other areas Joined unofficially.
