Vessels from 20

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.

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.

New York - CPU - Nelson
Cornelious (Bulldog) Drum
mond, 33, a 16-year veteran
of the Navy, was arraigned in
federal court Saturday on
charge, of conspiring to ped
dle U.S. defense secrets to
Soviet Russia.
Drummond specifically was
charged with violation of fed
eral laws outlawing conspir
acy to transfer information
concerning national defense to
a foreign power and held in
$100,000 bail. 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 Russian in the car with
him and another found inside
the diner were questioned at
FBI headquarters and re
leased "due to their diplo
matic status." 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."

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."
