Fled From Homes
Pittsburgh-fllPD-A search lor
three teen-aged boyi feared
lost In the depths of the No. 2
shaft of the old Castle Shannon
Coal Co. mine near here was
"temporarily suspended" early
today by Thomas MacDonald
of the Pittsburgh office of the
U. S. Bureau of Mines.
' "We have temporarily sus-
, pended the search until 2
p. m.," MacDonald said. "If
nothing is heard from the boys
by that time we will attempt
to push further into the mine.
Meanwhile, Castle Shannon
Police Chief Andrew Orr said
a nationwide alert was out for
Daniel O'Kane and Billy
Burke, both 13, of nearby
Baldwin Borough and Robert
Abbott, 14, of Pittsburgh
May Have Struck Out
Orr said authorities were
checking the possibility that
the youngsters, reported miss
ing Thursday after their
bicycles were discovered near
the mine entrance, "may have
struck out on their own." He
said the Abbott boy had
moved here recently from
Florida.
MacDonald said after the
last rescue units surfaced
early today that the searchers
nad "examined every inch
that was humanly possible to
examine." His later statement
that the volunteers may press
further into the mine this af
ternoon indicated the rescue
teams could encounter physi'
cal dangers If they continue
the search.
Barricade Torn Down
Authorities found that a
brick and concrete seal placed
over the auxiliary entrance to
the mine for safety purposes
years ago had been torn down
sometime in the past. Nearby
residents said they saw the
Burke and O'Kane boys play
ing near the shaft entrance
several days ago.
Mrs. Florence Burke, Billy's
mother, reported the boys
missing Thursday evening.
She said they had been miss
ing all day.
At the head of the shaft, last
worked about 25 years ago,
rescue workers said they
found a firecracker which had
been set oft and some twigs
apparently set to Indicate a
path. But Everett Turner a
mine inspector from the U. S.
Bureau of Mines, said the res
cue units, who went nearly
2,000 feet into the mine, failed
to find any trace of the boys.
Turner said the searchers
discovered several minor
rockfalls.
Mrs. Lois O'Kane, mother
of Danny, said her missing
son and his younger brother,
Kenny, told her about two
months ago they had gone
into the saft.
"I told them. I told them,
I told them not to go near
that mine", she said.
Mother Breaks Down
Mrs. Burke, a widow, was
led away from the mine en
trance when she broke down
after leading Billy's pet mon
grel dog, Nellie Bell, up the
hillside to the shaft. The dog
whined continuously. '
About 200 persons gathered
on a hillside across from the
shaft to watch the rescue
work under the glare of flood'
lights.

'Quiet Revolution'

Portland A "quiet revolu

State shifts into an age of
tree farming, according to a
new Oregon forest facts books
rclascd this week by the Ore
gon Committee of American
Forest Products Industries.
"Oregon Is In the midst of
a vast transition from an
economy based on logging

Not 'Rubber Stamp'
Sac ra men to-AIPt-Ca I i fornl a
assembly speaker Jesse M.
Unruh served notice today
that the lower chamber was
not going to be a "rubber
stamp" for the senate during
the current special legislative
session.
But he declined to say pre
cisely what course the Assem
bly might take.
"We'll lake a look at what
the Senate passes." said Un
ruh, one of the state's most
powerful political figures. He
apparently was not entirely
happy with the first four
days of action on Gov. Ed
mund G. Brown's lax reform
and budget augmentation pro
grams. For example, leaders of the
40-member upper chamber In
dicated after a special secret
caucus Wednesday that
Brown's plan to adopt a state
withholding plan for personal
income lax, effective Jan. 1
1065, did not have sufficient
support.
Asked his present position
on the pay-as-you-go plan,
Unruh answered:
"I'm in favor of It as much
now as I ever was and maybe
even more."
Is there a possibility with
holding may be amended by
the assembly into (he Gover

privilege now used by profes

"I can't say what we'll do,"
the Assembly speaker replied.
"But I'll say this: we're not
going to bo a rubber stamp

was not only his feeling but
that of "79 other guys'' in the

Due to Changing Standards
The facls book points out
that significant increase in
Oregon's timber reserve is
due primarily to chancing
standards of merchantability
brought about by the forest
industries' advancing tech
nology.
"The quiet revolution in
Oregon's forests has been tin

since the end of World War
II," according to I lie booklet.
"It is producing a translor-

Washington-IUPO-Sen. Barry
Goldwater (R-Ariz.) said to
day that President Kennedy
appears "determined to co
exist with international com
munism wherever it thrives
- even in the Western Hemi
sphere."
The 1964 GOP presidential
possibility coupled his attack
on Kennedy with a charge
that the nation's liberals suf
fer a "craven fear" of the
future and have taken the
country "too far to the left
Goldwater said that U.S
Communist party leader Gus
Hall was urging defeat of
GOP candidates next year and
support of "people s political
movements" that Hall said
operated within the orbit of
the Democratic party.
However, Goldwater added
that he was not suggesting
that Democrats or New Fron
tiersmen were Communists or
that the Communists had cap
tured control of the Demo
cratic parly.
Addresses Conference
In a speech prepared for
delivery before the Human
Events Conference, Goldwa
ter said today's conservative
was "standing where history
once placed the true liberal."
He said the conservative
stands for freedom, individ
ual rights, justice, order and
honor.
"I believe today's liberal is
so irigmcncd of the future
that he is incapable of acting
in Ihe present," Goldwater
said. "Why else are we con
fronted today with a virtual
paralysis of policy? Why else
does Cuba remain a festering,
Soviet power base on our very
doorstep? Why else are we
trying to pretend that inter
national communism is mel
lowing and not out to enslave
the entire world?" ' ,
Deep-Rooted Fear
Goldwater said that the
"cause for our indecision and
Inaction is a deep-rooted fear
on the part of the liberal
establishment which fore
closes the possibility of any
action at all that may contain
a slight clement of risk.
Such craven fear Is com
pletely out of character with
the American spirit," he declared.
Goldwater said "liberals
have taken us too far to the
left for the good of the na
tion, particularly when we
find ourselves in a worldwide
struggle with the forces of
the extreme left.
Hits Kennedy Speech
His criticism of Kennedy
was based on the President's
recent speech at American
University in which he refer
red to a Soviet interest in a
"Just and genuine peace" and
urged an effort to "make the
world safe for diversity."
Goldwater said Soviet di
versity means "slavery and
oppression and tyranny and
bigotry" ns well as "Godless-
ness," mass murder and ag
gression.
" I suggest that the Presi
dent's plea is just another
way of saying that the New
Frontier is determined to co
exist with international com
munism wherever it thrives-
even in the Western Hemis
phere,'' he said.
"This is merely nn exten
sion of the liberal fallacy
which can never seem to real
ize that there can be a serious
threat to the security of the
United States and the free
dom of the world coming
from the left of the political
spectrum."

'Seeds of Hate
In Civil Riahts
and
Field
Violence'
Barnett
Washington-IUPD-Mississippl
Gov. Ross R. Barnett told Con
gress today that President
Kennedy and Atty . G e n.
Robert F. Kennedy are "sew
ing seeds of hate and violence"
in the civil rights field which
could lead to a "bloody har
vest." Barnett, who is under a
contempt of court charge for
defying a federal court order,
testified before the Senate
Commerce Committee in op
position to the administra
tion's civil rights bill to ban
discrimination in hotels, res
taurants, theaters, and other
businesses.
About 400 persons, predom
inantly white youths, packed
the hearing room to hear the
first of a series of opposition I
witnesses called by Sen. J.
Strom Thurmond (D-S.C), the
only Deep South senator on
the committee.
Thurmond repeatedly
called for order as the audi
ence moaned or tittered in
obvious sympathy with the
proposed legislation.
Barnett, almost an hour
late for his appearance, slow
ly picked his way through
the crowd to the witness
table. He told the committee
passage of the bill would
"put hundreds of thousands
of white businessmen in the
streets."
Barnett said the President
and his brother "are sowing
the seeds of hate and vio
lence." "A nation could reap a
bloody harvest"
Barnett, who defied a fed
eral court order to integrate
the University of Mississippi
last September, said it was
all a Communist plot.
"It's the same old Commu
nist offensive of attack with
a hammer and then with
draw," he declared.
Barnett warned the com
mittee that it was about to
hear from "that great, silent,
substantial white majority
back home."
"If you think 500.000 Ne
groes marching on Washing
ton is something, pass this
legislation and you'll find
what 100 million angry
white Americans will do."
Barnett's reference was to
a planned mass demonstra
tion in Washington Aug. 28
by Negroes and other civil
rights advocates from all
parts of the nation. A leader
of the demonstration said
Thursday that about 100,000
demonstrators wero expect
ed, rather than 500,000 as
mentioned by Barnett.
Barnett repeatedly blamed

Danger! Fire Hlert!
The moods are tinder dry!
This summer warm weather and fast-drying fallen timber have cre
ated an extreme fire hazard throughout Pacific Northwest forest lands.
Right now the danger is greater than ever before.
Columbus Day windstorms left some 11 billion board feet of blow
down stacked like kindling on the forest floor. That's almost enough
wood to supply our nation with new homes for a whole year. By now
this windfall has reached the tinder-dry condition foresters call "red
slash" with needles and branches powder dry and red in appearance,
ready to explode into flame with the touch of a spark.
More Closures Necessary
Co .la nisi
Z ft
Fire prevention experts say
that if a big fire gets started
this summer in any part of
last year's blowdown, it may
be impossible to slop.
For this reason, many of
the lands - both public and
private previously open to
the general public have been
closed. These seasonal clos
ures usually run from early
July through September and
longer if necessary. Please respect them.
Whenever possible, access corridors will
be kept open to lakes and other recreation
areas, but only if they are reasonably clear
of slash and blowdown.
Your Responsibility
Whenever you go into the woods, you are
responsible for fire prevention in Ihe areas
you use. The fire that never slarts is the
fire that's easiest to control.
When building fires, stick to eslablished
ramping areas. Build fires only in facili
ties provided for them or where there is
no chance they can spread. Make doubly sure this year that your fires
are never left unattended, that they are completely extinguished when -you
leave them, and bury Ihe embers witli several shovelfuls of earth.
Watch mutches and cigarettes carefully and make sure they are
out really out
If you observe all the rules of fire prevention, you can help pro
vent a major fire disaster this year and continue to enjoy the benefits
of our natural forest resources wood, water, wildlife, Tecfettttaa
benefits and payrolls.
