Vessels from 20 Countries Make 185 Cuban Trips Washington -fllPt- Merchant ships flying the flags of 20 free world nations made 185 trips to Cuba during June, July and August of this year, the U. S. Maritime Adminis tration said Saturday. The martime flags of Greece, Britain, West Germany and New Constitution Draft Approved by Revision Group Portland IUPB The Oregon Constitutional Revision Com mission has approved the fi nal draft of a proposed new state constitution. The 17-member commission okayed the document by a vote of 14 to 2. It will rec ommend the new constitution to the Oregon Legislature next year. The commission, which was formed following the legisla ture in 1961, made only one major change at the final ses sion. It restored the provision for earmarking of gasoline taxes and other motor vehicle funds for the exclusive use of high ways. The commission turned down attempts to restore pro visions for people's utility dis tricts and the death penalty in the document. Some of the highlights of the new constitution include the apportionment of the leg islature on a strict population basis, making the governor the only state government elective officer and provision for annual sessions of the leg islature. Rep. Stafford Hanscll (R Hermiston) and Son. Thomas Mahoncy (D-Portland) voted against approval of the docu ment, which is designed to replace the current state con stitution. Former Gov. Charles Sprague of Salem was not present at the meeting. If approved by two-thirds of the members of each house in the next legislature, it would be submitted to the voters for approval. Norway accounted for 61 per cent of the trips. These figures, newly avail able in a maritime administra tion report, were behind Sec retary of State Dean Rusk's efforts in New York this week to urge maritime nations to curtail their shipping to Cuba. Rusk has had mixed results. West Germany, whose ships made 11 per cent of the 185 trips, has adopted a li censing system designed to stop all German vessels going to Cuba. Lack Legislation Greece, Norway and Brit ain, whose ships accounted for 50 per cent of the trips, have expressed sympathy with the U. S. position, but said they lack legislation which would enable them to Impose controls. Denmark, whose ships made nine of the trips, has told Danish shipowners it docs not favor their engaging in Cuba trade. Italy, which accounted for five trips, has taken steps to stop charter of its vessels to Russia. Turkish shipowners have halted all trips to Cuba, but only one trip during the June-August period was by a Turkish vessel. ottaDnii'it yuni ) siifiiirE (Jackson County Federal , your partner in personal progress) JCF JACKSON COUNTY FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSN.

Western Pine Group Defends Proposals Portland OIPD The Western Pine association Saturday de fended proposals to change lumber grades and sizes. W. E. Griffce, secretary manger of the association, said the changes would remove in equities that have worked in favor of green lumber mills. Under present rules, green and dry lumber must be dress ed to the same sizes at the mill, but green lumber shrinks when dried. A proposal earlier by the West Coast Lumbermen's as sociation brought protests from green lumber shippers who said the changes would put many of them out of busi ness. Griffce said the changes would require the green piece of lumber to start out from the mill slightly larger than the seasoned piece to allow for shrinkage.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Oct. 8. If convicted of the charges Drummond could receive a possible death sentence. Arrtiied With Delegate Drummond, a burly sailor night club operator, was pick ed up by FBI agents outside a suburban diner Frk'.ay night a. he sat in his car with an official of the Rus sian delegation to the United Nations.

The men were picked up in Larchmont, a New York City suburb. Drummond is stationed at the Newport, R.I., Naval Base. In addition to his duties there, he and his wife run a night club near the base call ed the Havana Bar and Grill, which they bought early this year. The car Drummond was found In was one of two he owned, agents said. They add ed that he had gotten into "extreme financial difficul ties." His wife, contacted at the Newport nightclub by UPI and informed of her husband's arrest, said "He told me he had to go on a business trip. I thought he went to Provi dence to pick up a band" for entertainment at their club. "I don't know anything about this," she said. "I never heard of such nonsense." Asked about the financial difficulties, she said "Every body has some troubles, but nothing like thai." Drummond Hides Fact When Drummond, a Negro, left the FBI office to be ar raigned before U.S. Commis sioner Earle N. Bishopp, he draped his hat over his face to shield it from newsmen and photographers. Drummond, who had no lawyer, made no plea at his arraignment, but he is ex pected to do so at the prelim inary hearing. Oil Exploration Benefits Oregon Salem -WPP- Oil explora tion has meant more than S3 million to Oregon during the past year, Gov. Mark Hatfield said Saturday. Hatfield said the search for oil has brought $10 million to Oregon during his four year administration. "In the Willamette valley alone in the past year $500. 000 has gone into the pockets of farmers from oil companies money that they did not have last year," Hatfield said. "We know not whether oil will be found," he said, "but the important point is that there is vigorous investigation going on which is financed by (he companies themselves with payroll and other expendi tures this brings to our state."

ANO Uluufl "', IUN WOOD, COAl 0 GAS The FBI said Drummond had been under surveillance for some time "based upon his naval service" in London from 1958 to 1059. The FBI said that lale Fri day night, two members of the Russian mission to the United Nations Evgcni M. Prokhorov, 31, a second sec retary, and Ivan Y. Vyrodov, 38, a third secretary, "closely followed" Drummond to the diner on the Boston Post Road. "Vyrodov entered the diner while Prokhorov parked the Russians' car immediately alongside of Drummond's car," the FBI said. It said agents watched Prokhorov leave his car and get into Drummond's auto. The two Russians, protect ed by diplomatic immunity, were released by the FBI in the custody of the Soviet mission. The FBI would not com ment when asked if the two Russians would be declared persona non grata by the State Department. Drummond, the FBI said, "is known to have traveled to New York City on several occasions allegedly return ing therefrom with large sums of money. With naval cooperation, intensive sur veillances of Drummond on these trips led to filing of. Friday's charges."
