Trains stopped while the railroad brotherhoods came to Salem to score a grand slam victory when the legislature refused to throw out the full crew law. A newsman was subpoenaed to describe the 16 executions he had witnessed In the Ore. gon gas chamber. An expect ed emotional impact on con sideration of anti-death penal ty bills was removed when two executions scheduled dur ing the session were stayed Barton and Rep. Joe Rog ers (R-Indcpendencc) fought over rules throughout the ses- sion, sometimes generating anger, sometimes laughter, Daylight saving time - explosive issue two years ago - caused hardly a ripple when lawmakers voted to extend it to the end of October, Silant Prayer There was the drama-pack ed moment when House mem ber stood in silent prayer after learning Astronaut L Cordon Cooper would have to use manual controls to end his 22-orbit flight. The Camp Wlthycombe scandal got a thorough going over by the legislature which resulted in a revision of the National Guard's budget and accounting procedures. The issue then faded Into oblivion. A handfull of proposals dealt with horse and dog rac ing, and sparked charges from some lawmakers that other lawmakers should not be working at race tracks. A legislative favorite - a bill to restrict trading stamps - came to life in mid-session, drew moderate crowds at hearings, then died in com mittee. Cat Bill Passed Humor attached Itself to a bill to allow counties to regulate stray cats. The bill was the butt of Jokes from every quarter. But cat lovers didn't think It was fanny, and authored a flood of letters objecting to the levity shown by legislators - who still chuckling as they voted the measure into law Sen. Edward Fadeley (D Eu gene) introduced a lobbyist registration bill on the fifth day of the session. He Issued "press releases" through the 126th day the bill lay gather ing dust in committee. The bill was still there when the session finally ended Sen. Ted Hallock, confused by conflicting explanations of a measure on the Senate floor, asked if he could vote "maybe." Musa said "yes," Hallock voted "maybe," and threw Senate parliamentari ans into a tizzy over how the vote should be recorded. (He was listed absent.) Leftist Apparently Peru Vote Winner Lima, Peru - IUP - Mount ing returns today appeared to confirm the victory of mod erate leftist Fernando Belaun- de Terry in Sunday's presi dential election. Most Peruvian newspapers had proclaimed Belaunde the president - elect, and he de scribed himself as "confi dent." He said, however, that he would await the official outcome before claiming vic tory. A late tally of unofficial returns amounting to more than 80 per cent of the total gave Belaunde 614,767 votes to 817,624 for Victor R Haya de la Torre, also a moderate leftist, and 419,832 for con servative ex-President Man uel Odria. Splinter candidate Mario Samame had received 17,338 votes. Your Honey's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER CyiiRt, Hall SriUkit. lac.

UNITED GOLD VAULT OF THE FREE WORLD (This is the first of two articlas) It's a large room, about 30 by 100 feet, with a spectacular location. It's 83 feet below the streets of New York's financial district, It's 33 feet below sea level, It rests upon the very bedrock of Manhattan Island. It's a vault protected by an elaborate system as spec tacular as Its location. No one can get into the vault unless three men, each with three different keys to fit three separate locks, open the doors. A guard force of expert marksmen is on watch at all times. No one even can approach the vault of course, unless his credentials are beyond question. At the end of each business day, a special guard turns a wheel which closes a cone-shaped, 90-ton steel vault and lowers it three-eights of an inch into place. The ritual of the door closing reminds an onlooker of a cork going into a bottle. What Is this room? It Is the vault which lies at the bottom most level of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at 33 Liberty St., Manhattan, and which today holds over $13 bil lion of the free world s gold more gold than is stored in any other place in the Western world. "Cold" Is in the htadlinas all otr lha world today as lha nations of in Wast continue to pile up anormous claims against tha U.S. dollar and wa intensify our efforts to k..p tham from turning Ihtir dollar claims into our gold, thereby draining our gold raserva to a dangerously low level and putting an intolerable strain on our dollar. Because we have for years been persistently spending more abroad than we have been earning abroad and because as a result our foreign creditors have built up dollar balances which they have exchanged in part for gold, our gold hoard is now under (13.8 billion, lowest since 1939. While so far In 1963 we have lost "only ' another 1180 million, our balance of payments position Is still bleak, and the Treasury itself admits the outflow of gold from the U.S. will accelerate. Thus, the worried minds of the free world are concen tratlng more and more on this subterranean vault in which so much of the West's gold Is stored, and thus, with an of ficial of the New York Federal Reserve as a companion, I went down to the bedrock of Manhattan Island the other day to see it. Since this Is a visit few of you ever will make, some impressions might Intrigue you. Just watching each man use his special key to unlock a special part of the doors so you can get into the vault is an experience. Once inside, there is the startling spectacle of gold bars representing tens of millions of dollars piled in long rows In the middle of the big room. A standard gold bar is about the size of a common building brick, but each bar 7 Inches long, 3 inches wide, 1 inches thick weighs almost 400 troy ounces or almost 27 pounds. To indicate what this weight means, the men who shift the bars around wear heavy cor rugated aluminum shoe guards so their toes won't be crushed if a bar Is dropped. Each gold bar is worth $13,434.79. Tha huge scale on which tha weight of gold bars com ing into the vault Is verified Is another impressive sight. So sansitiva is this scale thai it will weigh an object to lha nearest 1100 of a trop ounce one-third the weight of a dollar bill. (My companion placed a dollar bill on tha scale and It moved perceptibly.) Then there are the 118 cages lining the walls in which the gold bars of each country owning metal are carefully slacked. Each gray-wired cage has two combination locks and a padlock which can be opened only by different Reserve officials. Each Is identified only by a number and the Federal reserve will not reval the identity of the country behind the number. On some cages are wax seals indicating when their contents were last checked by the Reseve. We were at ease as we wandered around the vault which has no parallel anywhere, but the clock-and-dagger atmos Dhere was unmistakable nevertheless. As one more illustra tion, it has an alarm which can seal off all means of escape from the bank within 10 seconds. . Naxti How gold flows out of tha United Siataa today. Map Is Necessary For Capital Travel By MAHIJANE DUNCAN Washington, D.C. - Imagine a large diamond. This one is balanced precariously on one tip, criss-crossed by a tangled skein of red and black lines, splashed here and there with blobs of green, and surround ed by a large rectangle mark ed "The Capitol Mall." This is an image engraved forever upon one's conscious ness after weeks of studying maps titled "Washington and Surrounding Areas." For a newcomer to most cities, the first requirement is a map. Since there are more new comers to Washington than any other American city, there are, perforce, more students of maps than else where. Their cars can be seen stopped on busy streets while Dennis the Menace Mental Health Association Work Reviewed for Board Mrs. Bruno Rath, Medford, was elected a member of the board of directors of the Jack son County Mental Health as sociation at a meeting of the board held recently at the Rogue Valley hospital. The Rev. Fredrick Ross Evans, new president of the g.oup, presided. Outlining work of the organization for other new members of the board, he stated that the Men tal Health association, one of the youngest of the health groups, encompasses research, prevention, treatment, reha bilitation and education In the field of mental illness. He stated the Mental Health association is concerned with not only the patient in the state hospital, but also with the disturbed child In need of guidance, the recovered men- tal patient trying to find his place In the community, and clergymen, police officers or teachers who need to know how to deal with problems of mental Illness. He emphasized that it Is one of the most crucial health problems of our day. To acquaint board members with the work of professional agencies, Mr. Evans intro duced David Kuhns, director of the Jackson County Wei tare commission; Mrs. A. J. Kanclicr, supervisor of public health nurses, Jackson Conn ly health department, and Richard Runyan, psychiatric social worker with the ram ily and Child Guidance Clin ic. Provides Minimum Kuhnz staled that the wcl tare department is authorized to provide minimum stand ards of food, housing and clothing where individuals or families are unable to obtain these through any other source because of disabilities either physical or menial. He slated that many pa tients of mental Illness return ing from the state hospital are eligible for public assistance and social rase workers with the department provide coun selling and guidance. He staled that there are ap proximately 1.300 residents of Jackson county receiving some type of public assistance. This includes around 600 on old age assistance. 200 on aid to dependent rhil- i dren. 13 blind assistance, 1001 children under foster home! care and the balance under programs for the disabled or on general assistance. He stated that federal and state funds provide half of the funds on a matching basis. Kaap Casa Registry Mrs. Kanclier stated that public health nurses make home visits to patients of men tal and emotional Illness and their families, offering coun selling and guidance. She stated that the health depart ment maintains a case registry and is informed when a pa tient is able to return from the state hospital. They in turn contact other agencies when specialized help is needed. Runyan, speaking for the guidance clinic, stated that the clinic is the professional arm of the total mental health pro gram and now offers a broad multifunctional service in treatment, diagnosis and relia billlation. Included in this service, he stated, Is marital counselling, parent-child re- lalionhips, child guidance, at coholism, personal, emotional and the mentally ill. Now, also included in the service Is professional service for the returned hospital pa tient. Community Education He pointed out that a broad community education in the field of mental health and knowledge of clinic services as provided by the Menial Health association is necessary for maximum use of clinic serv ices. Mrs. Phyllis Pescntl, vice president, stated that a pro gram entitled "Progress Men tal Health" will be given on KMED-TV, channel 10, on Monday, June 17, at 9:30 a.m. and will feature Dr. John Tre leaven, director of mental health services for Oregon. CLOTHESLINE THIEF Palnswlck. England - HTP - The case of the missing under wear was solved here Monday when housewives discovered a crow had been taking the Items from their wash lines.

After a while it becomes a game. Finding a new and bet ter way to get from one side of the District to the other -from suburb to District or suburb to suburb - both tax and stimulate the imagina tion. For instance, when I found a way to get to a friend's house that saved five minutes and avoided four stoplights, I felt akin to a mountaineer who had located a new route to the summit. Time-saving is as important, or more so, than mileage saving - not to mention the saving in wear and tear on the nerves that is accomplish ed in avoiding traffic tie-ups. Bob's solution to this particu lar hazard is to leave early in the morning and return late - or perhaps this should only be classed as a dividend of keeping very long office hours. Avoids Peak Traffic My drives Into the city are not usually made at peak traf fic hours. However, I have gotten caught in the home ward rush, which begins at four or earlier and goes on till after seven. My reaction, upon finally and miraculously ar riving safe at home is, "How do people go through this day after day and keep their san ity?" I must admit I take a cer tain pride now in being able to find my way around. How ever, I will confess to leaning heavily on my map. I try to study it surreptitiously when on the road, so that others will not know that i am a tourist. . . Not that there Is anything reprehensible about tourists. It is just that one hopes to graduate, eventually, to being a wily denizen of the Wash ington jungle - at least before the home-folks come to visit. Jobs in Western States Increase San Francisco - (ITti - The Bureau of Labor Statistics an nounced Monday that nonagri cultural wage and salary em ployment in the 13 Western states, including Alaska and Hawaii, rose to 8.9 million in mid-April - a gain of 79,500 over March. However, the gain fell short of the expected increase by about 18,000, according to Max D. Kossoris, director of the bureau's Western region. He said cold, wet weather over much of the region de layed operations in contract construction, food processing and logging and lumbering. 'BLUEGRASS' STYLE New York - HOT - The tu. tion's newest music craze- is a style called "Bluegrass," ac. cording to HiFiStereo Re. view magazine, which des cribes it as a combination of improvised country-style rhy. thms, virtuoso banjo-and-gui-tar playing and down-hearted ballads. The "Bluegrass" style was perfected by one of the Southland's favorite musical groups, Lester Flatt and tha Foggy Mountain Boys, th magazine said. Sunday, June 16 217 t. Main St. M.dford NOTICE!
