BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPD
Integration leaders Martin
Luther King Jr. and Fred Shut
tlesworth return here today for
a showdown with city officials
on their demands for more de
segregation. The two Negro leaders who
led the massive racial demon
strations here that exploded
into violence and led to more
than 2,500 arrests, issued an ul
timatum last week that 25 Ne
gor policemen must be hired by
next Tuesday.
They vowed to lead the Ne
gro community in more and
bigger demonstrations if their
demands are not met.
Both King and Shuttlesworth
have enphasized, however, that
employment of the Negro po
licemen is only the first step.
They also demanded "face-to-face"
negotiations between Ne
gro leaders and the city coun
cil to arrange better job oppor
tunities for Negroes in other
areas of government.

EUGENE (UPI) - Western
Republicans today pondered the
outcome of a one-day popularity
contest between the two leading
contenders for the top GOP po
litical prize of 1964 the presi
dential nomination.
The two front-runners Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller of New
York and Sen. Barry Goldwater,
R-Ariz. missed a face-to-face
confrontation at a weekend
western republican conference
by 45 minutes.
But, for the first lime since
their unofficial campaigns were
launched, they spoke lo com
paratively similar audiences on
the same day in the same
place.
Rockefeller picked the confer
ence to challenge Goldwater to
a series of debates on the
"vital issues" of next year's
political campaign.
Proposal Rejected
Goldwater, after first appear
ing to grant a provisional ac
ceptance, then rejected Rocke
feller's proposal outright.
But both agreed on this:

I custody about 12:10 a.m. at Ta

58th
irV civil,
M. Nixon, who lost in a bid for
the presidency by 119.000 votes
in 1960, is trying to get a second
chance against President Ken
nedy. Republicans from 13 western
states, including Alaska and
Hawaii, attended the three day
conference, starting Friday and
ending Sunday.
There appeared to be no gen
eral concensus on who won Ihe
popularity contest. Rockefeller
addressed 7,500 listeners ai one
public session a noon appear
ance at the 10,000 capacity Mc
Arthur court. Goldwater, who
spoke in the same place s i x
hours later, had an audience
estimated at 8,5001,000 more
but the hour was to his advant
age He spoke informally with
another group later at the Lane
County fairgrounds.
Both sides claimed victory.
Hatfield comments
But Oregon Gov Mark Hat
field, often mentioned as a vice
presidential possibility, said
Rockefeller "regained sone of
his lost ground."
He said Goldwater "remained
strong in Oregon with avid fol
lowers." "There was no dark horse
talk," he added. "The Nixon
references evoked no response
but he remained a distinct dead
lock possibility. It apoars to
me this was the dress rehear
sal." In a 45-minute session with
only a handful of delegates be
fore adjourning the conference
Sunday the Republicans adopted
a series of resolutions attacking
the Kennedy administration's
domestic and foreign policies.
They included a compromise
civil rights resolution condemn
ing "exploitation of individual
human dignity for political pur
poses" an apparent reference
to Kennedy's civil rights pro
gram. Tax cut eyed
Another resolution urged Con
gress to pass a federal income
tax reduction combined with a
limit on federal expenditures.
A third resolution called for
action by the state to provide
equal educational opportunities.
If they do not, the resolution
said, they face "the inevitable
pressure for federal aid."
The conference lashed out at
Kennedy's policies in Latin
America and accused the a d
ministration of mishandling for
eign affairs in Cuba and South
Vict Nam.

Deplores Refusal
To Debate Issues
ALBANY, N. Y. (UPI)-Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller Sunday
night deplored the refusal of
Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz.,
to debate him over television
on the issues confronting t h e
Republican party.
"In terms of Republican re
sponsibility and the Republican
party's opportunity to win the
1964 election, I think the sen
ator's decision is a mistake,"
Rockefeller said in a statement.
The exchange between the two
prime contenders for the 1964
Republican presidential nomi
nation came Saturday. Rocke
feller, in Eugene, Ore., for the
Western Republican Conference,
challenged the Arizonan to de
bate him and help the Republi
can party "arrive at a consensus
on vital current issues."
Nothing To Gain
"There is absolutely nothing
to be gained by Republican de
bating Republican," Goldwater
said. "We should be fighting the
New Frontier. Such debates
would tend to add to what little
division there is in the Repub
lican party."
"I do not understand the
logic of the claim that such dis
cussion and debate would under
mine the unity of the Republi
can party," Rockefeller said.
Two Oregonians
Die in Traffic
By United Press International
Traffic accidents claimed the
lives of two Oregon residents
Saturday.
Robert A. Grossnickle, 19,
Oregon City, was killed and a
companion critically injured
when their motorbike collided
with a truck near Provo, Utah.
Injured was James L. Ricks,
19, Falls Church, Va.
Grossnickle was a student at
Brigham Young University.
Don W. Yandcll, 32, Portland,
died in a one-car accident on the
Banfield Freeway near Portland.
His car crashed into a signpost.
A total of 15 persons have
died on Oregon highways during
the first 14 days of October,
compared to 20 for a similar
period in 1962. There have been
435 traffic deaths this year,
which compares with 370 to Oct.,
14, 1962.
Bengtson Paroled;
To Live in SF
Former Medford Lawyer O.
H. Bengtson has been paroled
from Oregon state penitentiary
after serving about 17 months
on two convictions of larceny
by embezzlement.
Bengtson told prison officials
upon his release that he intends
to reside in San Francisco.
He was sentenced lo an in
determinate term of less than
two years in the Oregon state
penitentiary in 1961 and three
years in Oregon Correctional
Institution in 1960.
Bengtson, who was meted a
permanent disbarment by the
Oregon State Bar association
after his conviction, began
serving his sentence Feb. 2,
1962. He was paroled last Mon
day, Oct. 7. according lo in
formation received here from
prison officials.
hit the water remaining in the
upper part of the Vajont Dam
reservoir it might cause a
backlash wave similar to that
which roared into the sleeping
valley below the dam last
Wednesday. Later, other
thorities denied that a
au
new slide had started.
An estimated 2.500 persons
died in last week's disaster.
Originally, officials had be
lieved the death toll might run
as high as 4,000, but it turned
out that many of the listed in
habitants in the villages were
in other countries as migrant
workers at the time.
Cut In Two
When the original landslide,
estimated at half a billion
cubic meters, hit on Wednes
day, it virtually cut the reser
voir in two. Some of the water
still is backed up behind the
dam, but another lake has been
formed behind the natural dam
of the landslide. The lakes are
at two different levels.
If a new landslide came
down, it would hit the second
and higher lake. Its waters
could be pushed backwards
and could hit the towns of Cas
so and Erto, already partly
destroyed by the tidal wave
backlash of the original slide.
Red China May
Face Expulsion
At Moscow Parley
MOSCOW (UPI)-World Com
munist leaders will meet here
next month to begin talks which
may lead to Peking's explusion
from the Moscow-led Comunist
camp, informed sources said
Sunday.
The world's major Communist
parties with the probable ex
ception of Communist China and
its allies are sending high
level delegation here between
Nov. 7 and 15 for the 46th an
niversary of the Russian revo
lution. The sources said the parties
would make one more effort to
bring about another Soviet
Chinese meeting to try and re
solve the dispute. Such a meet
ing, however, is likely to be as
unsuccessful as last summer's
ideological talks here.
Soviets Have Support
If this last attempt breaks
down, the sources said, a call
will be issued for a final meet
ing of the world's 86 Com
munist parties to take up the
question of China's explusion.
Western observers calculate
that the Soviets have the sup
port of a least 72 of these par
tics. But explusion of Peking
would be bound to create a
rival international, headed by
China and containing its sup
porters including at least
North Korea, North Viet Nam,
Albania, and the Japanese Com
munist party.
County Group To
Discuss Contract
The Jackson County Parks
and Recreation commission
will discuss the proposed five
year contract for a riding stable
at Howard Prairie when it
meets at 7:30 o'clock tonight in

The five year contract would
be an extension of the present
short term contract under
which the Clyde Wilhclms are
operating the Lily Glen riding
stables.
The commission will discuss
also a policy statement, the
letter from the Oregon State
Game commission on using the
old Elk Creek hatchery site for
a recreation area and a letter
pertaining to youth group
camping at Howard Prairie
