The de cision to build the line came after the meeting of Edgar with the lied Rock residents who buft jr.d own the present sincle-wire line. The power transmission line be ing built in Red Hock by the Cali fornia Oregon Power Company will cause so much interteunce on Ihe single-wire system that it will J become useless, r.agar saio. ana a double-wire line can elumnme Ihe electrical interference. Kdgar said the power company will contribute $564, the value of 16 miles of extra wire, and the 15 subscribers on the line, $30 each to construct the new line.

Fair, Mild Over Nation By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It was a little cool in some east ern and western areas today, but generally fair, mild weather pre vailed in most other sections of the country. Except for showers in parts of central New England and south ern Florida, skies were clear in most areas east of the Mississippi River. Cooler air spread from England to the Carolinas and across the Appalachians into Ten nessee and the southern Ohio Val ley. There was a warming trend in the Gulf states and Great Lakes region. Biggest temperature ad vances vere in the northern Great Lakes. Readings were in the 60s compared to the 40s yesterday morning. Cool air moved south and east ward from the northern Rockies during the night and set off stormv weather in the plains and in parts of the upper Mississippi alley. Rain fell from central Texas northward into Minnesota. Hail and strong winds hit sections of Kansas and Nebraska. Funnel clouds were reported in northeast crn South Dakota in heavy rain storms. Mostly fair and warmer weather was reported from the Rockies to the Pacific Coast. Thunderstorms roared through the Southeast yesterday and last night with some hail and heavy rains in areas from southeastern Alabama through southern Geor gia and most of Florida. Abe Authors New Edition WASHINGTON W - Another addition to the growing collection of Lincoln literature, edited by a man who know the subject well, was published Wednesday. The editor: Abraham Lincoln. Under the title, "The Illinois Political Campaign of 18.58." the Library of Congress is issuing a facsimile of the campaign scrap book kept by Lincoln. It is the only book he ever edited for pub lication. The scraphook contains news paper accounts, both pro-Lincoln and anti-Lincoln, of his unsuccess ful 1838 Senate race against Sen. Stephen Douglas. It contains verbatim accounts of the immortal Lincoln-Douglas de bates, discussions of the issues which were to grip the nation in Civil War tnree years later. Lincoln wrote introductions to the newspaper accounts and ed- itod his own extemporaneous re- marks with corrections of gram- niatical and typographical errors inserting word changes and clari fying phrases.

Knowland has been Mriinr Niai mMin r.. them up iS" uue uu hi campaign and answer questions on current issues in California. The sessions, attended by about half a dozen correspondents, are held in Krtowland's minority lead er's office a few steps away from the Senate floor, usually on Thursday mornings starting at 9 30. Puffy-eyed newsmen, most on their first assignment of the day. are greeted amiably by Know land and his administrative assis tant James Gleason. The senator frequently helps pour the coffee himself while Gleason sees everyone has plenty of cream and sugar. Most of the time Knowland, his familiar square jaw set firmly. gets right to the business at hand with whatever announcements he lias to make and saves the chat ting for later. But on one occasion the sena ior, beaming proudly, led off the proceedings by passing around the latest picture of his grandchildren. "I just thought you might like to see them," he said. Deadly serious in discussing im porting state problems, Knowland responded with blustery good hu mor when asked to comment on recent claims by some political columnists that his campaign was a trouble." "This is a free country and they're entitled to their opinion," he laughed. "But I'm sure you don't expect me to agree with them." At one session the talk got around to flying. Knowland said he was reminded of the time he went for a ride in a jet fighter. "Something went wrong with the communications system." the senator said. "The pilot couldn't hear me and I thought he was asking if I'd had enough and was ready to land. "1 was starting to turn a little green so I gave him a vigorous nod yes. That was when I found out he had asked if I wanted more because we went into the darn dest series of dives and barrel rolls I'll never forget." Another time a reporter noted that Know-land's wife, Helen, and their two daughters have been campaigning on his behalf by at tending teas and luncheons around California. Does this mean the Knowland family has adopted the Kennedy approach?" the newsmen asked referring to the much publicized tea-circuit tour Sen. John F. Ken nedy iD-Massi and his large fam ily made when he was running for the Senate. "Not at all." answered Know land. "We couldn't possibly do it on the same scale. There aren't nearly as many Know-lands as there are Kennedys."

The agreement has been worked out with the Klamath Basin Pine Mills and Ellingson Lumber Com pany in Klamath Falls; McCloudtnat our mdustry nas not shown i.uinoer tumpaiiY. .iieuiuru Corporation and Fir Mill and Plan ing in Ashland. Terms of the agreement are: 'li The present working agree ment is extended to June 1. 1959. 2i wage rates are dosed until June 1, 1959. except that the parties agree to meet at a mu tually agreeable time betw een Sep tember 16, 1958, and October 1, 1958 to discuss wages.

The union committee which made the recommendation stated, "Our recommendation is made only after considerable thought, discussion and analysis of eco nomic conditions which have pre vailed in our industry for the past 18 months. Included in our analysis has been an on-the-spot survey at major points along the Atlantic seaboard this past week by our International's Research Department. . "This recommendation has been difficult to come by," the state ment continues. "We are faced Depressed Area Bill Men Look To House For Action WASHINGTON .n Supporters looked to the House Wednesday for action on a bill to aid chron ically depre?d areas which the Senate passed by a bipartisan 46 36 vote. The Senate passed a similar bill in the closing days of the 1956 session, too late for House con sideration at that time. Republican Sen. Dworshak of Idaho was the only Pacific North west senator voting against the bill Tuesday. Democrats Church of Idaho, Magnuson and Jackson of Wash ington and Morse and Ncuberger of Oregon voted in favor. The House Banking Committee already has held extended hear ings on legislation in this field, but has scheduled other measures lor action ahead of a depressed areas bill. However. Chairman Brent Potato Crops Seen Smaller CORVALLIS i The 1958 national potato crop will probably he sma ler than last vear s. Dus-. the onion crop will be larger, lu weekly report of the U.S. Depart - ment of Agriculture said Wednes day Y ields per acre for potatoes will be smaller this year, and the harvest may be a tenth smaller than 1957, the report said. It continued: The late spring potato producing states planted a larger acreage than last year, but due to smaller yields the originally estimated harvest of 29 million sacks will be 3 per cent smaller. The smaller yield is due to late plantings, low temperatures, and too much rain. - Potato growers in the early summer producing states also upped their acreage this year. but. as of May 1, growing conditions in many areas were below stand ard. Late spring onions will have a fourth larger harvest this year than last. Acreage of early sum mer onions is also slightly higher this year.

"Viewing present conditions realistically it must be stated the kind of market strength we have been so hopefully anticipating. "It is now our considered opin ion that there is nothing to be gained by pursuing negotiations any further at this time and that to do so, with all its accompany ing effects, might only contribute to the unstable conditions of the industry." The committee stated that it felt the two most important things to do ribht now in the interest of the general welfare were: ill Keep as many of their people working dustry the opportunity to concen trate on meeting the prevailing competitive market conditions Concluding its statement, the committee said. "While we are confident that improved economic conditions lie ahead, the road is paved with many uncertainties at the moment and we don't profess to be able to anticipate them nor assess their effects at this time "When the lumber market regains its strength, we will ex pect the industry to meet with the union for the purpose of increas ing wages in the same spirit of understanding that the union nor makes this recommendation. Spence D-Ky of the committee has said his group may report a bill. Twenty-nine Democrats and 1 Republicans joined forces as the Senate passed the bill Tuesday over opposition from 12 Democrats and 24 Repuolicans. The bill would make available 375 million dollar in federal loans and grants to communities which have lost major industries or for other reasons have had long-stand ing unemployment problems. Both cities and rural areas would be aided in rehabilitating themselves The Eisenhower administration sought to limit the measure to 50 million dollars of loan funds. Sponsors of the Senate bill es-! timate that 70 major industrial areas and 300 rural counties would qualify for the loans, grants and technical assistance authorized in the bill They cite textile and railroad iihost towns and communities de- pendent on hard coal mines asking to a company spokesman, ivpicai oi me areas wnicn would get aid from the program.

May, 36, dis closed today how he plunged 40, 000 feet in a "dead" F8U-1 Cru sader jet, guiding a load of Side winder missiles to an explosive crash just after he bailed out of the fleet's newest and fastest lighter. Cmdr. May said he nursed the powerless aircraft down over the northern edge of the Mojave Des ert in a desperate effort to re start a "flamed-out" engine. He said he realized his chances of re-flaming the disabled Crusader were remote, but he wanted if he failed to put the deadly Sidewinders into a clear area. "I wanted to save this particu lar Crusader 'Baby.' " the guided missile test pilot frem Compton. Calif., said. "It's still a rare bird and we needed it for our research here at the naval ordnance test station. But I also didn't want to hit anything." May. a veteran of 16 years with service in World War II and the Korean hostilities, said he dropped in 10 minutes from 49.000 feet about 40 miles south of China Lake to 9.000 feet on the morning of May 9. He said the jet's en gine "just suddenly quit" as he soared at mach 1.05, well beyond the speed of sound. "I tried about eight air starts on the way down, maneuvering for the station and an altitude where I knew it was safe to get out," May said. "I determined in my mind where I had to 'abort' or eject . . . because this is a 'hot' plane and something still had to be done about those Sidewind ers. Cameras, radio, radar and oth er telemetering devices were "on" the plummeting Crusader as a result of checking its aerial mis sile' work. Yreka-SF Air Route Nixed SAN FRANCISCO UP) Wit nesses for Pacific Airlines testi fied at a Civil Aeronautics Board hearing Tuesday that resumption of service at Yreka would not be economically feasible. i. K. Mitchell, executive vice president of the airline, told Thomas L. Wrenn. assistant chief of CAB hearings examiners from Washington, that experience had shown that PAL operations at Y reka had lost money in the past because of an insufficient amount of traffic. The CAB called the one-day hearing to investigate restarting service at Ft. Bragg and Y'reka, suspended by PAL last July. At Tuesday's hearing a resolu tion by state Sen. Randolph Col lier iR-Yreka) that called for re instatement of PAL in Y'reka was put into the record. PAL also asked that its service be allowed to continue at Ukiah and Red Bluff to augment an al ready permanent stop at Eureka and petitioned for additional ser vice from Eureka to Portland Mitchell testified that Eureka was a strong traffic-producing center and needed direct service to Port land. United Air Lines, which has sus pended service to Eureka, "takes no position" in the matter, accord and declined to send a represen tative to the hearing. Eureka witnesses. G. Kelton Steele, president of the Eureka Chamber of Ce.nmerce. and K. T. Robinson. Eureka businessman, also backed the airline's appeal for northern service to Portland.
