He said legislators from coastal areas have agreed to submit a highway bond bill to be financed by the 1-cent tax. He said a proposal to in crease auto registration by $5 a year also was under consid eration. Ayers estimated the 1-cent tax would raise between $5 and $6 million a year, and the $5 registration increase could produce up to $10 and $12 million a year. He sa'id the plan would be bitterly opposed by the State Highway Commission and Gov. Mark Hatfield. Favored in Plank Ayers was hopeful of suc cess, however. He said the State Democratic platform in cludes a plank favoring such bonding, and added "the Dem ocrats control both the House and Senate." He said "our number one project is to eliminate 25 milos of horse and buggy road on U.S. 101 in Tillamook coun ty." He said the Associated Gen eral Contractors and Oregon Automobile Association op pose the bonding plan, and added the Oregon Motel As sociation which at first op posed the idea had reversed Itself and now favored the bonding proposal. "If all the 'have not' high way areas get together we can get results," Ayers stated. "Frankly," he said, "if we get groups throughout the state to thinking we're going to get all the money for the coast, they will all join and try and get their share. "This is what we want. All the 'have not' highway areas can benefit if they all join and push together." Routes Cited He cited U.S. 20, U.S. 101, U.S. 97, U.S. 395 and the Winnamucca-to-thc-sca routes as " 'have not' highways" that need improvement. He said so much money was going into construction of the intcrcstate highway system there was not enough money left over to improve or rebuild other major state road ways. Ayers skoffed at those who oppose the bond financing. "That's what banks arc for. "If you want to expand your business, or build a house, you borrow. We feci that way about highway bonds. "Let's pay for the highways while we are using them. "You have to wait too long for improvements if you so on a cash basis," he explained. Association Successful Ayers said the Coast Asso ciation had been "pretty suc cessful" in programs to date. He cited the $24 million As toria bridge and the S12.6 million Gold Bcach-BrookiiiRS highway project - both fi nanced by bond issues - as examples of successes to dale. "We are vitally in need of a network of highways in (he slale to component the inter state system," he said. Ayers said he understood the Highway 20 Association also would join the campaign for the proposed highway bonds. "That l-cent tax could raise more than $0 million in the next ten years to pay for Ihc bonds while we were using the highways." he explained. Bulgarian Pilot Cleared of Espionage Charges; Planning Return To Homeland Rome UPI) A Bulgarian pilot, cleared of spy charges that could have landed him in prison for 24 years, arrived in Rome today and said he would return to his homeland as soon as possible. The pilot, 2nd Lt. Milusc Solakov, 23, came from Bari, in southern Italy, where he had spent a year in jail.

Proves Right Of Berlin Access Berlin -IUPII- The U.S. Army once again proved its rights of Berlin access today by sending convoys in both di rections over the winterbound East German Autobahn with out Soviet interference. I But the Communists ac cused the West of "a gross misuse of the airways" over East Germany by allegedly flying in West Germans to blow up the Berlin Wall. West Berlin police an nounced the arrest in West Germany of three men and a woman on charges they twice blew holes in the Communist wall last month breaking 161 West Berlin windows.

Man Escapes After Apartment Burglary A s h I a n d A man with curly red hair, wearing dark green trousers and heavy boots escaped through an al ley Wednesday afternoon aft er he was caught in the act of burglarizing an apartment here. Police reported the man got away with a purse con taining about $00 from the apartment of Mrs. Gladys Mc Timmonds, 160 Fourth st. He also took a camera but dropped it in the alley. The man was described as about 40. six feet tall and of large build. held her husband's hand in a long deathbed vigil, planned to attend the memo rial services with family and friends. No one was expected to attend the cremation. Arrangements were made to place the actor's ashes in the cemetery's great mauso leum which also contains the remains of such Hollywood personalities as Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Jean Har low and Jerry Giesler. In lieu of flowers, Powell's family asked that donations be send to the UCLA Medical Center for cancer research. The Rev. Dr. Kermit Cas tellanos, assistant rector of All Saints, said Miss Allyson asked that he read the Ten Commandments at the serv ices "because they meant so much in the life of Powell." Services for Carson will be held at the Wee Kirk o' the Heather at Forest Lawn with cremation and private inurn ment following. His death at his Encino, Calif., home came as a shock even to friends. Only immedi ate members of his family and close associates knew the affable comedian suffered from the malady. His fourth wife, Sandra, was with him when he died. The deaths were the third and fourth from cancer to strike movie celebrities with in three weeks. Charles Laughton died Dec. 15 and Thomas Mitchell two days later. mobile to their legation. "I am going back to Bul garia right away, very right away," the well-dressed young aviator told newsmen at the Rome station. He declined to answer any other questions but warmly embraced one of the Bulgari an officials. When he was released from prison Thursday he told news men: "I am glad that the truth has triumphed and that I can finally go home." The Solakov case began last Jan. 20 when the 23-year-old pilot crashed his Russian-built Bulgarian MIG 17 in an olive grove near a secret NATO missile base at Acquaviva, It aly. He was captured, charged with spying and jailed to await trial. But examining magistrate Dr. Ferninando Alterio ruled Thursday that Solakov was "not guilty" of political and military espionage and there was no case for trial. He or dered the pilot released from Bari prison and handed over to the Bulgarian legation in Rome. Solakov always denied he was spying. He long maintain ed that he sought asylum in the West.

The magistrate did not ex plain the reason behind his ruling. But it was known that Italian government investiga tions since Solakov crashed turned up little evidence that he was a spy. n 3m --vlJHI- For Fast, Efficient Service eu: is y LASME to or frem - OsbUntf, Sssi Francisco, Los Anfelci and Other California Points Call Jack Fitsferald 773.771 Hubbard Bros., Inc.
