WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER Court Will Seek Action To Obtain Route Designation The Jackson County Court this morning said it would send letters to the Oregon State Highway Department and the Winnemucca-to-the-Sea High way Association seeking action on getting a U. S. route designa tion for the highway. "The Winnemucca - to - the Sea highway is in good condi tion and is as good as any in the state, superior to any mid Western federal highways," County Judge Earl M. Miller said today. Miller and County Commis sioners Edwin Taylor and Don ald E. Faber were protesting a statement that "Highway De partment officals have not yet decided whether to try again to get a U.S. route designation for the Winncmucca-to-the-Sea high way." Reason for Rejection Reason given for the rejection was that the route was not up to acceptable standards of design and construction. Miller also protested a state ment that the highway depart ment refuses to recognize that the highway exists. "The state highway department certainly recognizes the highway," he said. Both Oregon and Nevada have spent considerable money on the construction of the high way. The American Association of State Highway officials report edly turned down the requested route designation last week. Miller said he would ask the highway association to obtain "factual data" to support the contention the highway should receive a route designation.

Tribune 30, 1963 Ben Bella, Hassan To Demilitarize Disputed Border BAMAKO, Mali (UPI) Al geria and Morocco agreed to day to end their bloody Sahara Desert border conflict, high diplomatic sources said. The sources said a cease fire will be declared on both sides of the forlorn front at midnight Saturday. BAMAKO, Mali (UPI) -Algerian sources claimed today that President Ahmed Ben Bel la and Moroccan King Hassan Warren Victim of Demonstration at Bar Testimonial NEW YORK (UPI) Chief Justice Earl Warren Tuesday night was bombarded by leaf lets and placards hurled at him by demonstrators demanding his impeachment. The demonstration took place as Warren and his wife were leaving the New York Bar As sociation Building where earlier in the evening he was made an honorary member of the organ ization at a testimonial dinner. The pickets, who said they were members of "the move ment to impeach Earl Warren," also booed Gov. Nelson Rocke feller, who attended the dinner but left the building separately from the Warrens. Neither Warren nor Rockefel ler was hurt, and police moved in quickly to keep the pickets from the men. Erode Freedoms Walter Zalcski, who said he was the leader of the organiza tion which is based in Summit, N.J., told newsmen the Supreme Court's decisions "have helped to erode our freedoms." He said the group was not connected with the John Birch Society. The approximately 75 pickets were waiting for Warren when he arrived at the building with his wife and daughter, Mrs. John Daly. During the dinner, he com mented to association members that "the honor guard is wait ing for me." "I had no trouble finding this building," he told them. "In my travels around the country I often find such built -in re ception committees." He added that he thought it was "a great thing that they can do this in this country, whe ther they really believe in it or are being paid to do it." Bids Called for Work in Siskiyous Bids for a 2.29 mile section of Interstate 5 in the Siskiyou mountains will be received by the State Highway Commission until Nov. 19, it was announced today. The section of grading will be from the junction of the Siskiyou Highway between U.S. 99 and Oregon 66 south to the summit. It will provide four 12-foot lanes on a new alignment with the summit approximately one-half mile west of the present high way. Interstate S will cross the summit through a 200 foot cut which will require moving about two million cubic yards of ma terial, highway department en gineers explained. The project will be approxi mately two miles south of the Wall Creek section now under contract. The section to be skipped at this time will include structure for the Southern Pa cific Railroad and Is not expect ed to be let for contract until next year. The new Siskiyou Summit project will begin about eight miles south of A s h 1 a n d with completion date set for May 1, 19G5. NO HOTEL OLYMP1A, Wash. (UPI) A team of profcsional consultants reported Tuesday to Gov. Albert D. Roscllini's Rainier Advisory Committee that Mt. Rainier Na tional Park casaat sunnort a UIO- , . n 58th Year Price 10 Cents No. 191 II had tentatively agreed to de militarize the disputed area on their frontier pending further talks. The report, which was not im mediately confirmed by other delegations here, came shortly after the two chiefs of state broke an agenda deadlock and finally began negotiating their border conflict. Meeting with Ben Bella and Hassan were the two media tors in the dispute which was critically affecting North African unity: Conference chairman Em peror Haile Selassie of Ethiopia and host Mali President Modibo Keita. The four-power confer ence opened this morning. An initial deadlock over the agenda prevented the two Quar reling government leaders from meeting face to face on their ar rival Tuesday and had threat ened to wreck the meeting be fore its start. Final Approval Algerian conference sources claimed that any decision agreed to in principle at Bama ko would be submitted to the 32- nation Organization of African Unity (OAU) for detailed discus sion and final approval. The Algerian claims were re ceived with caution by obser vers. Morocco so far has re fused to pull its troops back from the region around Hassi Beida and Tinnyoub, 500 miles southwest of Colomb Bechar, and from the region of Tindouf, 350 miles farther to the south. King Hassan's regime claims its troops merely reoccupied terri tory belonging rightfully to Mo rocco. The demilitarized zone ap parently would mean the crea tion of a temporary no-man's-land or buffer zone, while the OAU or another international group would attempt to draw a permanent frontier line along the disputed stretches of the 700 mile common border between Algeria and Morocco.

(UPD A political hot potato, the sug gestion that the Tennessee Val ley Authority (TVA) be sold to private interests, has been tossed back into the. lap of Sen. Barry Goldwator, R - Ariz., as "unthinkable. Tennessee's two senators, al most all of the congressional delegation, and two top TVA of ficials headed a list attacking Cost of Living Holding Steady WASHINGTON (UPI) - The government reported today that the cost of living, which had been rising slightly, held steady in September. The consumer price index re mained at the August figure of 107.1, the Labor Department said, meaning that it cost $10.71 to buy the same goods and serv ices that could be purchased for $10 during the 1957-59 base pe riod. However, Arnold Chase, as sistant commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, said the September index was nine tenths of one per cent higher than the ycar-ago level. Food costs last month showed a drop from August. A market basket of food that cost $10.60 in August could be purchased for $10.54 in September, Chase said. Transportation costs dropped four tenths of one per cent in September, largely because of lower prices for gasoline and new cars. But residential rents, fuel prices, housing upkeep, and textile house furnishing all moved up.

In a letter released last week end, Goldwater said: "I am quite serious in my belief that TVA should be sold. Tuesday, without mentioning Goldwater by name, TVA Board Chairman Aubrey J. Wagner dismissed the idea as being ig norant of the "facts" and "ir responsible." A director of the $2.5 bil lion seven - state a a e n c v. Frank E. Smith said "Goldwater might find TVA an issue in Tennessee." Sen. Herbert S. Walters issued a statement in WashinEton not mentioning Goldwater's name but attacking his opinion. "Re cent suggestions that the sale of TVA to private inter ests would be to the benefit of Tennessee and the nation," Wal lers said, "arc certainly without any basis of fact." In the letter to Rep. Richard Fulton, D - Tenn., of Nashville, Goldwater had said the vast agency pays only five per cent of its annual gross to local gov ernments, but would have to pay five and one-half times that much if it bore a tax levy com parable to those of private busi ness. Owns Agency Tuesday, in a speech before tne Knoxville Kotary Club, Wagner said TVA pays no fed eral income tax because the federal government owns the agency "lock, stock and barrel including 100 per cent not just 52 per cent of its net income. "Remember," the board chairman continued, "that in come tax is a tax on net in come, not on gross income as the calculations of some TVA critics indicate they apparently believe. He said TVA actually paid out some $20.4 million in 1963 to the states and counties in which it operates, making it the largest single taxpayer in the state of Icnncssce.
