Week-Long Deep Freeze
In Europe; 100 Dead
London - OFPD - The week
end weather forecast for Eu
rope promised no let-up Sat
urday in the week-long deep
freeze that has killed more
than 400 persons.
Continued cold with more
snow and freezing rain kept
rail, air and road traffic tied
up in Britain and across the
continent.
There was some moderation
nf temperatures, notably in
Portugal and southern Italy,
but generally the freeze held
firm.
A dense fog Friday night
and early Saturday blanket
ed large sections of the Brit
ish midlands and the north.
Occasional snow was reported
In the south and temperatures
below freezing in nearly all
areas.
Caused Deaths
Britain accounted for the
largest share of storm deaths,
listing 137 up to Friday night.
Most of the deaths throughout
Europe have been on the

New X-ray Tested
On Portland Chimps
Portland -(UPD- Nearly 100
monkeys at Portland Zoo have
been x-rayed with a new ma
chine developed at McMinn
vlllc. The machine, weighing Just
45 pounds, promises to fill
new needs in probing space
and in combatting disease.
The x-ray unit was devel
oped by Dr. Walter J. Dyke,
president of the Field Emis
sion corporation at McMinn
ville. Instead of using elab
orate heating equipment, it
produces x-ray electrons by
using a new cathode surround
ed by an intense electrical
field. It can produce a radio
graph far faster than conven
tional machines.
The machine's speed makes
it valuable in photographing
missile parts during testing,
Bonneville Power administra
tion foresees use of the port
able x-ray unit in investigat
ing ground rot in transmis
sion poles. The Federal Avia
tion agency is considering the
machine for on-the-spot inves
tigations of air crashes.
The monkey x-rays at Port
land Zoo were part of field
trials before the unit goes on
the market in January.

Of Check to Nixon
Beverly Hills, Calif. - IUPH
John (Jake the Barber) Factor
Friday produced a photostat
of a $5,000 check he contrib
utcd to the 1060 Nixon-Lodge
campaign to counter ftopubli
can criticism of his Christmas
pardon by President Kennedy.
Factor faced deportation on
a mail fraud conviction on
which he served a prison sen
tence in 1943 until the Pres

lanthropist Christmas Day.
Rep. William E. Miller, of
New York Republican nation

Snide and Chtap
Rep. Emanuel Ccllcr (D-N.

was "as snide as it is cheap."
The check photostat Factor

Earth.
The radar signals, which re
turned to the Earth in six to
eight minutes, indicated that
Venus rotates slowly, perhaps
once every 250 earth days,

rection. "I tried every way I could
to fit the data into a forward

Spectacular Increase Seen
In incomes of Nonwhites
Washington - (UPll - Federal
Housing Administrator Rob
ert C. Weaver, announcing a
spectacular rise" in the in
comes of non-white persons,
has urged removal of the ra
cial barriers that prevent them
from buying more expensive
homes.
Weaver released a special
ludy made by the Housing
and Home Finance agency,
based on the censuses in 1959
and 19U0. He said it showed a
large and growing demand for
housing among midle-income,
non-white urban families a
demand that is not being met.
In 21 metropolitan areas
analyzed, non-while incomes
rose sharply. The number of
non-whites in those areas earn
ing more than 4.000 a year
increased from 59.000 in 1949
to 940,000 in 1959. Those with
incomes over $6,000 rose from
12,050 to 210.156.
Significant Riit
The sludy said the econom
ic advances of middle-income
non-whites, and other status
improvements, made a signif
icant rise in home ownership
during the decade.
But, the study said, there
was a great disparity in the
rate of home ownership and
value b'tween whites and
non-whiles at comparable eco
nomic levels.
Racial restrictions, it said,
were the "important deter
rent" to non-white home own
ership, the sludy said.
In a forward to t lie report.
Weaver said "The present
study of non-white middle in
come housing needs takes on
added significance with the
issuance by the President of
an executive order on equal !
opportunity in hou.-ing.
Economic Expiniion
"In a society which has cho
sen free competition and free
enterprise as the channel for
economic expansion and im
provemenl of living standards,
such a basic commodity as
decent family housing should
he readily available to every
American family
"Tlie extent to which we
succeed ill improving the hous
ing conditions of our minority
families will depend upon the
imaginative cooperation of the
housing industry, government
and the American people,"
Weavrr said.

Dairy Plans to Reduce
Milk Prices Prior to
Law Expiration Date
m
By ZAN STARK
Salem - lUPI) - One dairy's
plans to cut milk prices, and
a dairymens' association meet
ing to consider a final draft
of a milk marketing law,
were revealed Saturday
just two days before the pres
ent milk stabilization law ex
pires at midnight, Dec. 31.
Kenneth Sawyer, chief of
the milk audit and stabiliza
tion division of the State De
partment of Agriculture, con
firmed the price ut notice
had been filed.
It would reduce the price

100 pounds to $4.90.
Sawyer said the reduction
would go into effect Jan. 1,
the day the present Mobiliza
tion law expires.
The meeting to consider a
draft of a proposed new stab
ilization law will be held
here Jan. 7, according to
Frank Rood of North Bend,
president of the Oregon
Dairymens' association, and
chairman of an industry-wide
committee which is seeking a
solution to the industry's
problem.
Rood said an association
committee "has been working
for some time on the prob
lem," and has drafted a pro
posed marketing law.
If approved it will be sub
mitted to the legislature, he
said.
Conference Set
The committee meeting
will highlight a Jan. 7-9 meet
ing of the association to be
held here.
Sawyer said the state milk
audit law requires dealers to
file with the state copies of
their contracts with pro
ducers. Man Meted Life
For Escape Try
Berlin - IUPH - East German
refugee Harry Scidel, 24, was
sentenced to life imprison
ment at hard labor Saturday
in East Berlin for digging a
tunnel under the Communist
wall in an attempt to help
other refugees escape.
Scidel, a former bicycle
racing champion, was arrest
ed Nov. 15 as he broke
through a 70-yard tunnel from
the American sector to a base
ment in a suburb of East Ber
lin. East German police, dis
guised as refugees, were wait
ing for him, apparently act
ing on an informer's tip.
He fled to the West the day
the wall went up, Aug. 13.
19G1. After that, he helped
others to escape, risking his
life many times.
The East German Supreme
Court found Scidel guilty of
violating the catch-all "law
for the protection of peace,"
which covers any form of anti
Communist activity.
Scidel, who won several
East Gcarman bicycle cham
pionships before his flight,
was not allowed a Western
defense counsel. The court ap
pointed his lawyer.
The East German news
agency (ADN) reported that
Seidcl admitted he had taken
part in seven border cross
ings ''with the aim of carry
ing out attacks on the border
security forces, destroying
frontier security installations,
organizing kidnapings. and
luring persons to West Ber
lin" "Kidnaping" and 'luring''
arc used by the Communists
to refer to refugee escapes.

Spurned Daughter
01 Writer Upset
Over Will Change
London -IUPH- Lady John
Hope, the spurned daughter
of writer Somerset Maugham,
said Saturday she still loves
her millionaire father and can
not understand why he wants
to disinherit her.
"I love him dearly . . . We
have never had a row, not
even a cross word," Lady John
was quoted as saying.
Maugham took out court
papers in a Nice, France, court
adopting Alan Searle, 52, his
secretary, as his son. At the
same time he started court
action to disinherit his daugh
ter Elizabeth, now Lady John
hope, and get her to return
several hundred thousand dol
lars worth of gifts he has
given her.
Married Writer
Maugham, 88, said he al
ways had considered Eliza
beth his daughter but that
she actually was the daughter
of Henry Wellcome, the hus
band of Maugham's wife, Sy-
rie Barnardo, before she mar
ried the famed writer.
Elizabeth, 47, and married
to former Works Minister
Lord John Hope, said the
whole episode has left her
"very sad" and surprised.
"I can't understand what
my father has said about mc,"
she said at her home near
London.
"It is quite absurd for him
to say that I do not care
about him at all."
Maugham said Elizabeth did
not care "a rap" about him.
Lady John Hope filed a
suit earlier this year against
Maugham claiming that $630,-
000 of $1.5 million realized
from a sale of Maugham's art
collection belonged to her.

The announcement whipped
up more concern in the already-worried
dairy industry.
Producers hopefully plead

Distributors indicated they
wanted to hold the line, but
would slash prices if forced
to do so.
Grocers were unsure what
they should do.
A spokesman for the Port

drop in price at present is
warranted.
"If any major distributor
cuts the price, we all will
have to do the same," ho
added.
Getting Worried
Another distributor said
"The grocers are getting wor

Hugh Gallighcr, manager
