Kennedy's Youngest Brother Hated Even In Tuesday Me Both Candidates Appear Cautious In Senate Race Br HAHHY FERGUSON Boston - OJPD - Teddy Ken nedy and Eddie McCormack both predicted victory today in Tuesday's battle for the Democratic nomination (or ii s anatnr. But they were so cautious that they sounded like a couple of fellows try ing to whistle their way pasi a political graveyard. "I will win, but it will be very, very close," Teddy said. "I'm confident I will win, but I'm not predicting by how much," Eddie said. Teddy is Edward M. (Ted) Kennedy, youngest brother of President Kennedy. Eddie is Edward J. McCormack Jr., state attorney general and nephew of House Speaker John W. McCormack. Rale It Even Boston bookmakers rate 11 even - "six to five and take your pick," which means you put up $6 to win $5 either way. The bookie pockets the other dollar against a rainy day at the race tracks. The Teddy - Eddie show, which has been on the road since last spring, appears to be a smash hit with the voters. A record turnout of 1.1 mil lion Is predicted for Tuesday. That will be 2DU.UU0 more than voted In the primary of I960, a presidential year which usually pulls people to the polls. Republicans also are choos ing a candidate for U.S. sen ator Tuesday, but they have been forced to take second billing to the Teddy-Eddie spectacular. George Cabot Lodge, son of Henry Cabot Lodge, is running against Rep. Laurence Curtis. Lodge ap pears to be a slight favorite despite the fuct he is only 35 years old and a rookie in the great game of politics. Lodge's confidence exceeds that of the political experts because he claims a big vic tory for himself and further more has decided that Teddy is going to beat Eddie. Much of his last minute campaign ing has been devoted to ad vising the voters how he will take Teddy to the cleaners In the November election. What makes the Teddy-Ed die contest difficult to figure is that nobody can say for sure how many vote;; will swing on the issue of - to bor row the title of a durable soap opera of the air waves - "One Man's Family." Democrats who are privately convinced that two Kennedys in Wash ington are enough are likely to keep their mouths shut rather than alienate the po litical powers in the nation's capital. Suspects Shooting in Boise Jobbery, Detained in Jail at ntario Vale Logging With Helicopter To Be Tested in East Yarding with helicopters Is to under go limited testing under field conditions on Sept. 18 and 19 near Thomaston, Conn., in a cooperative study between the Pacific North west Forest and Range Ex periment station, Portland, and the Sikorsky Aircraft di vision of United Aircraf cor poration, Stratford, Conn. John E. O'Leary, Oregon Slate university, who has studied the feasibility of hel icopter logging for the ex periment station during the past year, will rrpresenl the forest service al the tests. The forest service will provide full length hemlock trees for the test as well as charter of an S-58 helicopter wllh 4,000 to 5,0110 pound lilting capacity. Sikorsky is providing an S-61 helicopter, which has twice the lifting capacity of the S-5II, mid is to dim the entire operation for later an alysis in a joint report. Neither of the helicopters being tested is the recently publicized St4 or "flying crane" which is available only In prototype and still being tested. Yarding with helicopters is a new concept that has not been seriously considered to date because of the hazards thought to exist; however, the test may clarify this issue as well as verily the apparent economic advantage in more than doubling the total load these machines can move when dragging trees as con trasted with lilting the logs into the air. The lest will also determine helicopter operat ing characteristics, such as speed, and the usefulness of auxiliary rigging, such as a newly developed automatic de vice for releasing logs.

The car was laler found abandoned in eastern Ontario, Jones said $4,287 was found in a bag inside the car along with a theatrical makeup kit. Ruse and Hibbard, mean while, struck out on foot down railroad tracks between Ontario and Nyssa. They stopped al a farm house and asked Al Andrews, the own er, direclion to the nearest town. Andrews said he told them to slay on the tracks and they would arrive at Nyssa. He said he was suspicious of the pair and called Ontario police alter they left. Rumor of Earlier Kennedy Marriage Called False feof for Fitt, Efficient Service : to or from ! Jfc, Oik land, Sn ZQOf Francisco. twoi Anatles i ono wnw wiiirorma 6 f oinrs Call Jack Fitigaral 773-7761 New York - (0PD - News week magazine today brand ed as false a widespread ru mor that President Kennedy was secretly married prior to his marriage to Jacqueline Bouvler nine years ago. The magazine, in a major story, detailed reasons why virtually every major news paper, news magailne and wire service has refused for the past 16 months to publish rumors of the alleged previ ous marriage. Many newspapers have in vestigated these reports, the article pointed out, and in every instance no valid evi dence to support the report was found. Newsweek apparently de cided to print its story be cause of wide circulation of the rumor by what the mag azine calls "hate sheets and because of a story printed two weeks ago by Parade magazine. Parade said the rumors Pressure Increases For Settlement of Railroad Dispute Pamphlet Available On Lumber Grades Washington, D.C. - Detail ed information concerning a new standardized system of lumber grades and sizes for frame construction has been made available by the Nation al Lumber Manufacturers as sociation through an easy lo understand eight-page pam phlet. Designed to acquaint lum ber manufacturers, specifiers and users with the background of the system, its need, devel opment and provisions, the pamphlet discusses standard ized grade names, uniform grade requirements, standard grade descriptions; standard lumber sizes, a new sheathing and paneling thickness, and simplified joist and raltcr span tables. In addition it provides di rect answers to questions which have been raised dur ing the development stages of the standard system. The grade simplification and standardization program was undertaken by a special committee of the National Lumber Manufactures associa tion more than two years ago to facilitate design and con struction with lumber while tailoring it more closely to consumer requirements. Ulti mate purpose of the system is to make lumber easy to un derstand and use. Copies of the pamphlet, "A Standardized System of Lum ber Grades and Sizes lor Frame Construction" may be obtained by writing NLMA, 1818 Massachusetts ave., NW, Washington 6, D C. Chicago - IUPD - With the collapse of joint negotiations, political and economic pres sure mounted today for settle ment of the strike which shut down the Chicago and North Western Railway.

Hood Saturday was re ported In good condition at a hospital today. Richard Steven Knulson, 21, reportedly slid, fell and oiled from the 10-000 toot elevation to a crevasse about 1,000 feet lower. Knulson was one of five Reed college students who climbed the mountain Satur day. They were descending along the north face when the accident occurred. Companions said Knulson slipped on ice, lost his ice axe and fell until stopped In a crevasse in the Elliott Gla cier.

ELECTED PRESIDENT Portland - (Urn - Lawrence E. Slater of Klamath Falls has been elected president of the Oregon Association of Insurance Agents at the group s 34lh annual conven tion. as Francis A. O'Neill Jr., mem ber of the National Mediation Board, planned more talks to day with the Order of Rail road Telegraphers. O'Neill, in a telegram from the nation's capital, Sunday asked North Western board chairman Ben Heineman to resume negotiations with the ORT. But Heineman rejected the request. Heineman repealed his de mands that the ORT accept presidential emergency board recommendations as the basis for further talks. After a week of marathon bargaining in Washington, Heineman announced Satur day that the North Western was withdrawing from the negotiations. Wisconsin Gov. Gaylord Nelson urged the North West ern and the ORT to volun tarily give emergency service to the "most critically affect ed areas" of the state. In Minnesota, Gov, Elmer L. Andersen called on the federal government to take "positive action" to settle the walkout that idled cars on the line's 10,565 miles of track in nine slates. Andersen, noting that the harvest of the sugar beet crop starts next week, said it is "of extreme importance that the beets be saved and other crops be transported lo market, as they represent a great part of Minnesota's farm income." Gov. Norman A. Erbe said in Dos Moines, Iowa, that the strike "is causing an increas ing hardship upon the peo ple of Iowa served by the Chicago and North Western." George McGovern, former head of the Food for Peace program in the Kennedy ad ministration, said at Sioux Falls, S.D., that the breakoif In talks means the "virtual destruction of the sugar beet industry in eastern South Da kota. were false in reply to a let ter from a woman reader ask ing "Once and for all, will someone please tell me the truth about these reports?" Last week, columnist Wal ter Winchell reprinted the Pa rade item in his syndicated column and asked: "Why hasn't the White House de bunked it?" Newsweek pointed out that the so-called "evidence" used by irresponsible groups to keep the rumors alive is con tained in one parapgraph of an obscure, privately printed family history, "The Blau velt Family Geneology" writ ten by Louis L. Blauvelt who died in 1956 at the age of 82. The book was published in 1957 and is available in a number of libraries including the Library of Congress and the New York City , Public Library. Blauvelt wrote that Durie (Kerr) Malcom married and divorced first Firmln Des loge and then F. John Bers bach. A third marriage, Blauvelt said, was to John F. Kennedy, son of Joseph P. Kennedy, one-time ambas sador to England. Newsweek pointed out Blauvelt kept documentation for every entry in his book. Under the entry to the al leged marriage to Kennedy there is only en old clipping from a Miami gossip column reporting Miss Malcolm (not Malcom as in the book) was seen with Kennedy in a res taurant after World War II. The magazine said one Blau velt family member des cribed the entry as "just one colossal mistake." This erroneous evidence kept the story out of the re sponsible American Press, Newsweek said, but irrespon sible groups continued to print it to this day "thus put ting the President into a po sition where he is damned if he denies the story and dam ned if he doesn't." "The President and Mrs. Kennedy . are philosophical about the 'Blauvelt cam paign'," Newsweek said. 'They recognize that it is mo tivated by extremist groups and circulated for political purpose."
