Conservatives weren't out celebrating, either. But neither side had any plans to contest it. Under plans all but formal ly announced by House lead ers, Rep. John Young (D-Tex.) will replace Rep. Homer Thornberry (D-Tex.) as a member of the pro-administration bloc that frequently has been able to prevail on the crucial committee by no better than 8 to 7. President Kennedy Tuesday nominated Thornberry as a federal judge for the West ern District of Texas. Tn so doing, he rewarded Thorn berry for past support, but at the same time created a fur ther problem for himself in the closely divided rules group.

Mrs. Ambatielos was finally tackled by po lice and prevented from showing the royal visitors a small placard protesting her hus band's 16-year imprisonment. The story is on page 2A. (UPI) mittees are routed on to the House for a vote. Its yes or no can mean life or death for controversial bills. Speaker John W. McCor mack (D-Mass.) let it be known he had picked another Texan to fill Thornberry's crucial rules seat, and word was passed among members that Young was the man. In selecting Young, Mc Cormack obviously acted in the belief Young could be counted on in a pinch to sup port the leadership even in the face of adverse local interest. Thornberry, though he sometimes voted against the administration both in the committee and on the House floor, was a close friend of the late Speaker Sam Ray burn and became a trusted leadership lieutenant in the crucial rules spot. Some liberals pointed to Young's mixed record of ad ministration support hereto fore and wondered whether McCormack had made the right choice.

Can't Agre Alon The United States and Britain, which will take part with Russia in the Moscow dis cussions, are prepared to ne gotiate a test ban treaty but they could not by themselves agree to a non-aggression pact which would involve all 15 NATO nations.

Labor Officials, Growers To Meet To Discuss Picking Federal and state labor of ficials will meet with repre sentatives of the Fruit Grow ers League here Tuesday, July 3, to discuss possible solu tions to the picking problem expected this season. Pear growers feel they need Mexican Nationals here, par ticularly this year, to assure a (complete harvest of local pears since-the. crop is al ready predicted as a light- one. Many of the same labor and employment service officials were in Medford approximate ly a year ago to discuss the possibility of obtaining Mcx ican Nationals for that sea- son's harvest. The Bracero bill authorizing use of Mex ican Nationals on U.S. farms and orchards will . expire after the coming harvest sea son. No details were available as to what would be discussed here Tuesday, but local pear shippers and growers said they were pleased that some of the federal officials feci the problem is important enough to come all the way from Washington, D.C. Last year the labor officials agreed growers had done all they could toward hiring do mestic labor after a number of shippers and growers testi fied that less than half of the domestic pickers stay in the orchards longer than two or three days. Sen. Wayne Morse (D.-Ore.), also meeting with the pear industry representatives then, declared Medford orchards should not become the dump ing ground for social welfare cases from Portland. Medford district pear grow ers assured labor department officials last year that Mex ican Nationals are used only when qualified domestic workers arc unavailable. It costs $85 a man to bring them to this area, it was pointed out. Approximately 15 per cent of the daily crew arc Mexicans, it was noted.

Dr. Sumpson said the hun dred Individuals contacted all were graduated from high school a year ago and did not continue their education, al though counselors feel they have talents and abilities which would be best employ ed if they completed a col lege program. Provides an Opportunity The counseling program, he pointed out, provides an op portunity for a selected per son to talk with a trained counselor about future plans. "We are not trying to 'sell' anybody anything," Dr. Samp son said, "except perhaps the idea that able people have a personal responsibility to help their country by Improving themselves." Oregon Program counselors go to the home of the Indi vidual who wants to partici pate in the counseling pro gram. Informational kits arc presented, containing . Infor mation about college costs, admission requirements and instructional programs. Specific attention is given to collecting data about the person's experiences during the past year, Dr. Sampson said, pointing out that educa tors have little information about able high school gradu ates who do not seek addi tional education. Aim of Program "Our big aim," Dr. Samp son said, "is to let these peo ple know about new ways to finance a college education, such as the National Defense Student loans, the United Stu dent Loan Fund, and in Jack son county, the Southern Ore gon collcge-Medford school district teacher internship program."

' Board members met with the Talent city council last night to discuss the project The two governing bodies are faced with these circum stances: The Talent council plans to expand Its sewage disposal plant but must get the project unaer way by Oct. 1 in order to qualify for a $31,490 fed eral grant which would fi nance at least a third of the cost. Bonds Are Necessary The sanitary district board is concerned with getting a sewer system installed, for which It will be necessary to submit a bond issue to the voters in the district, located between Talent and Ashland. The sanitary district could make an arrangement to use the city's disposal plant, or it could construct a disposal system of its own. If the sanitary district board decides it wants to use the city's plant, then it will have to make plans to participate financially in the cost of ex panding the plant, city of ficials have indicated. In order to meet the city's Oct. 1 deadline, according to Richard Cottle, Talent city at torney, the sanitary district would have to hold a bond election by about Sept. 1.

Mrs. Vic Chapman looked out at 6 a.m. and -saw the family barn at Cascade gorge enclosed In smoke. Firemen were called, and they re moved the baled hay, some of which was charred and quite hot. Spontaneous combustion was cited as the cause. ' only minimum funds for high er education, the resolution read. "Therefor the board Is determined to admit only that number of students that it can serve adequately." Although the 'board strong ly favors passage of the tax bill as submitted by the Leg islature, it deleted from its resolution the part urging "all citizens of this state to refuse to sign petitions for tax meas ure referral and to vote In favor of the tax program if a special election Is called." ongressional ; eaders Called ; or Conference Midnight Deadline For Massive Walkout Washington-IUPD-Rail unions today rejected President Ken nedy's proposal for arbitration the railroad crisis and he worked feverishly against the clock to prevent a midnight strike. Kennedy called congres sional leaders to the White House for emergency confer- ences with other government leaders, a possible indication that he would ask Congress to work out a settlement. If he should adopt this course, It was believed that Kennedy also would ask the railroads to hold off on put ting into effect new work rules which would trigger the idnight walkout. Goldberg Rejected The five unions turned down Kennedy's proposal to let Supreme Court Justice Ar thur Goldberg arbitrate the dispute and work out a final settlement. The railroads, which accent ed the proposal, said the nevf ruies would go into effect at midnight. The unions prompt ly disclosed mat members had been told to carry out strike instructions on any carrier that posted notices of the new work rules. Concern mounted as the clock moved toward the mid night deadline. The govern ment began preparations to at least ease the paralyzing ef fects of a nationwide rail tie- up. Plan Extra Routes The Interstate Commerce Commission said It would au- thorize truckers, bus compa nies and domestic water car riers to take on extra routes and .cargoes if the trains stopped running. , white House press secretary Pierre Salinger said the union and railroad management spokesmen were standing by for a possible second session, with Kennedy. But a 9 a.m. (pdt) deadline for notifying them of another conference passed without word from the President. , -,. Leaders Tighf Lipped Salinger said he would not comment on what the Presi dent plans to do but added: The President is obviously doing something." House Democratic leaders who spent much of the morn ing at the White House were tight lipped about their talks with Kennedy. "We were brought up to date on the situation," was all p e a k e r John W. McCor mack would say. Both Mc Cormack and House Democra tic Leader Carl Albert (Okla.) turned aside all questions as to whether there would be a presidential message to Con gress. It was noted, however, that among the key figures called to the White House was Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D N.Y.), chairman of the House Labor Committee, which would handle any legislation. 200.000 Men Involved The five unions involved represent about 200,000 work ers who run 95 per cent of the nation's trains. The un ions are the Brotherhood of ' Locomotive Engineers, Broth erhood of Locomotive Fire men and Enginemen, Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen, Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen, and the Switchmen's Union of North America.
