'Anti-Party'
Out Of Woods
MOSCOW (UPI) Russia's
Communist leaders appeared Sat
urday to have decided that there
will be no more punishment for
members of the ami party
group" led by ex-Premier N. A.
Bulganin, who have been deposed
from high official positions and
"banished to outlying areas.
The communique issued at the
close of last week's session of the
Communist Central Committee as
sailed the "despised group of re
actionaries, but made no men
tion of further action against
them.
It appeared Bulganin will be al
lowed to retain his seat on the
Central Committee atad his post
as chairman of the Economic
Council of Stavropol, capital of a
territory bordering on the Cauca
sus. i
Western observers were in
clined to believe that other mem
bers of the "anti-party group"
also will be allowed to retain their
present subsidiary posts.
I he committee communique
bracketed three other deposed
leaders with Bulganin ex-Premier
G. M. Malcnkov, former
Deputy Premier L.M. Kaganovich
and former Foreign Ministers V,
M. Molotov and D.T. Shepilov.
It charged that these four men
and their supporters tried to pre
vent implementation of the course
worked out at the 20th congress
of the (Communist) party on all
the most important questions of
domestic and foreign policy."
The councils of elders of the
two houses of the Supreme Soviet,
Russia's parliament, met Saturday
in the Kremlin to lay plans for the
legislative session that opens Mon
day. Plea Entered
By Ex-Solon
WASHINGTON (AP)-A former
Oregon congressman has asked
the courts to erase a 1955 finding
he was of unsound mind.
A. W. Lafferty, 83, a Portland
attorney, made the request in U.S.
District Court here.
Lafferty said he was deprived
of due process of law when the
district court here made the find
ing. '
In his petition, Lafferty said the
1955 hearing was made without
his knowledge, and he was given
no chance to appear.
Lafferty told a newsman he was
arrested here in March of 1955,
but had no memory of it. The next
thing he knew, Lafferty said, he
was in St. Elizabeth Hospital.
Later that year, Lalfcrty said.
he was transferred to the state
hospital at Salem, Ore., confined
several months and then released
.Lafferty represented the Port
land district in Congress - from
1911 to 1915.
Lafferty said his arrest oc
curred in a hotel lobby here on
March 14, 1955. The confinement
to the Washington, D.C., hospital
followed, he said.
It was in April of that year
said Lafferty, that he became
aware of being in the hospital.
After being transferred to Sal
em in July, Lafferty said, he fi
nally was released Oct. 4, 1955.

Ammo Erupts
In Blaze
THE. DALLES (API - Flames
Friday destroyed Red's Trading
Post here. Boxes of ammunition
the store went off like giant
firecrackers.
Firemen were handicapped by
lack of water, but kept flames
from spreading to nearby gas and
propane tanks.
No one was injured, despite the
exploding ammunition which
crackled and popped and kept a
large crowd well back from the
flames.
Damage was estimated at $65,-
000 by Frank Stovall, the store's
owner. He said the fire apparent
ly was started by a stove in the
rear of the building.
The entire contents of the store
mainly used furniture were
destroyed. The store was two
miles west of here.
Strike Vote
Kept Secret
MIAMI, Fla. (AP) - Striking
Eastern Air Lines machinists vot
ed Friday night on a new contract
but kept the result secret pending
the company's, settlement with
flight engineers.
Both unions stopped work Nov.
24 over wages and rules. The en
gineers also disputed a company
proposal that they take basic pilot
training to serve on jet airliners,
expected to start operating in 1960.
' Six air lines said "no show" res
ervations are hampering their ef
forts to take up the slack in Florida-bound
traffic caused by the
Eastern Air Lines strike.
A spokesman for Delta Air
Lines said planes are carrying
only an average 70 per cent of
capacity because many travelers
make multiple reservations for a
seat. He said travelers who seek
seats on a stand-by basis almost
always get on board. '
Delta and five other lines Cap
ital, Northeast, Northwest, Trans
World, and National predict a to
tal inbound Florida passenger vol
ume of 176,160 for December.
Eastern claims it normally han
dles 177,000 passengers to Florida
in December.

Firm Seeking
Exemption
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) The
Georgia Pacific Alaska Co. Fri
day asked for a 10-year state tax
exemption on a huge mill it plans
near here.
The Portland, Ore., firm said
the exemption would provide a
major incentive to build a 50 mil
lion dollar pulp and newsprint
mill on nearby Douglas Island.
The firm said the mill, which
would go into production in 1965,
would employ 750 persons. Some
would be engaged m woods opera
tions. Georgia Pacific already has a
preliminary grant for 7V4 billion
board feet of timber in the Ton
gass National Forest.
The application was made to
the Territorial Board of Admini

10-year state tax exemption to Pa
cific Northern Lumber Co. of
Portland, which plans to build a
mill at Wrangell.

Lower Rates
Now In Effect
WASHINGTON (AP) Lower
railroad lumber rates from Ore
gon to Southern California and
Arizona went into effect Saturday,
according to a report from the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
The commission said its power
to suspend the reductions, an
nounced last April by the South
ern Pacific Railroad, ended Satur
day. The Southern Pacific previously
refused an ICC request for a vol
untary extension of the suspen
sion. When the rate reductions were
first announced last April the ICC
suspended them, then held
lengthy hearings in San Francis
co and in Portland. Truckers, wa
ter shippers and Northern Cali
fornia lumbermen protested.
Some Arizona mills also protest
ed. The. railroad said the reduced
rates were necessary to allow it
to compete more favorably.
The scheduled reduction aver
age about 20 per cent and range
up to as much as $7.50 per 1,000
board feet on heavy shipments,
Oregon interests estimate ship
pers in that state will save several
million dollars annually and will
be better able lo compete in ma
jor lumber markets, particularly
Los Angeles.
