The barge trip was similar to
Ihe one made by wagon trams ion
years ago. Only this time, a con
verted LST served as the barge
instead of the makeshift rafts
which the pioneers used
The train was unloaded from
ihe barge early today and wagon
master Tes Sirpa got the tram
bark on the road.
Ivan Hover, who is news lirec
tor, estimated that - J'j million
persons came to see the wagon
(rain on its trip across the plains
dom Independence, Mo. He said
Ihe biggest crowds were the es-
timated 30.000 at Lawrence, Kan.,
and the 12.000 at Scotts Bluff.
Neb.
The train is carrying 40.000
pieces of mail weighing 500
pounds. Sale, of the stamps and
mail covers has helped finance
the trip. Booklets telling oi the
wagon train also were sold.
Sirpa said that there had been
no traffic accidents involving the
wagons on the long trip some
times on crowded highways. He
said this was due to Sheriff's De
puty Gail Carnine of Douglas
County and others who "rode
point" ahead and behind the train
to flag down traffic.
The Pendleton wagon, the rear
wagon on the train, carried a
flashing red light during the latter
part of the trip. It was loaned by
the Idaho State Patrol.
Sirpa was proud too that he was
tinishing the trip with all but two
ol the original members of Ihe
train and with all but three of the
original draft animals
Sirpa said he hoped that the On
to Oregon Cavalcade management
could see its way to clear to do
nate the animals to the drivers of
the wagons
The train will spend tonight at
Hillsboro. Wednesday it will roll
into Dundee: Thursday to Amity;
Fiiday to the outskirts of Inde
pendence, and on Saturday into
the town of Independence the
end of its 2,020 mile trek.
The train will have been only
on the road 120 days, but will have
spent exactly ton days traveling.
Purpose of the trip was to pub
licize the Oregon Centennial.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -i
Segregationists rounded up sup
port today (or a rally on the slate
capitol lawn to ask Gov. Orval E.
Faubus to "do something" about
impending integration of two Lit
tle Rock white high schools. The
schools are to open Wednesday.
Margaret Jackson, president ol
the League of Central High Moth
ers, said she had had "dozens of
calls from people wanting to
know what could be done to stop
integration.
"So in response to these." she
said, "we are inviting every paid
otic citizen to meet us on the state
capitol grounds to pay tribute to
son to anticipate anything else."
The school board has assigned
three Negroes lo Central and three
to Hall high. It used a court-approved
pupil placement law to
keep out some 55 other Negroes
who applied to' attend the white
schools.
Support far another last-minute
segregationist maneuver was not
evident. A boycott of Main Street
stores began Monday. Amis Guth-
ridge, attorney for the segre
gationist Capital Citizens Council,
called for the "buyer's strike."
things like the McKay Dam,"
Skelton said.
This was a reference to Neu-
berger's proposal that Green Pet
er Dam be named McKay Dam
to honor the late former Oregon
governor and secretary of the In
terior Douglas McKay.
Turning to Hatfield. Skelton said
he was asking Neuberger to look
into Hatfield's use of a National
Guard plane for a trip to the Gov
ernor's conference at Puerto Rico.
Skelton said he had sent this
telegram to Neuberger:
"Press says Governor Long of
Louisiana will have to pay for un
authorized use of a National
Guard plane. Will you check and
see if Hatfield use authorized?
Who paid for the trip to Puerto
Rico?"
Skelton said Hatfield had com
plained that the budget was too
small. "How can he take a retinue
of 10 people to Puerto Rico on
such a budget?" Skelton asked.
(Meanwhile at Salem, Travis
Cross. Hatfield's press aid. said
that the National Guard Bureau
at the Pentagon had authorized
Hatfield's transportation. Cross
said that expenses of six of the
party were paid in Puerto Rico
by the Commonwealth of Rico,
and that all others in the party
paid their own expenses.)
that we need and want his con-
tinued leadership in our fight
against federal dictatorship.
Faubus has remained silent on
his plans to take a hand against
the impending desegregation. But
he has said he does have plans.
The governor stopped integration
in the high schools last fall by
closing them. But the law he used
has been struck down by federal
court.
The Little Rock school board is
sued a statement saying it was
confident "the people of Little
Rock will accept this challenge to
resume the peaceful operation of
ionists Muster Support
its high schools. There is no rea- charging that Main Street mer.
chants were helping Negro lead
ers to obtain integration. 1
But spot checks of stores showed
plenty of customers and chamber
of commerce officials ignored the
threat.
Guthridge also urged persons
not to patronize firms which had
Negro employes.
The segregationist leader said
he opposed violence at the school
openings such as that which oc
curred at Central in 1957 when
nine Negroes entered. Federal
troops restored order then.
Aircraft Engine Research
Dropped By U.S. Air Force
. WASHINGTON (AP) The Air
Force has canceled a MO-million-dollar
program for an advanced
aircraft engine using high-energy
chemical fuel.
It appeared to be another step
in the switch from manned air
craft to rocket missiles as the
chief instrument of modern war
fare. The Defense Department has
been under heavy criticism for
continuing development of expen
sive new manned aircralt pro.
grams instead of concentrating on
missiles.
The contract canceled Monday
was for development of the Gen
eral Electric Co.'s J93-5 engine.
The action also knocks out of
operation a new 4S-million dollar
chemical plant built by the Olin
Mathieson Chemical Corp. near
Buffalo, ,N.Y.. which was to pro
duce the fuel.
OUTSTANDING
ACCEPTANCE
FOR THE CAR
THAT STANDS OUT
MRK"
' The ,J93-5 engin'. was an im
proved version of the J93-3. Both
engines were slated for the B70
bomber and the F108 Rapier fight
er-interceptor, these planes are
designed to fly 2.000 miles an hour
at altitudes of 70.000 feet.
An Air Force spokesman said
the prototypes of these planes will
not be affected by the cancella
tion. They will use the earlier J93-
3 engine and still attain the
planned speeds, he said.
tne advanced turbo-jet engine
had an afterburner that would use
boron fuel to give additional
bursts of speed. Boron is a non
metallic chemical element.
The F108 is to be completed in
I960, with the B70 slated for pro
duction 18 months later.
An informed official, who re
fused to be quoted by name, said
he believed the B70 and F108
would never get beyond the proto
type stage and would never go
into production.
The cangue, a heavy wooden col
lar or yoke worn around the neck
formerly was used as a punish
ment for convicts in China.

Cute Songs
Help Connie
Keep Up Pace
By BOB THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD f API A rare
lemale amid leaders of today's re
cord market is Connie Francon-
era. better know to teen-agers as
Connie Francis. ' ' - ,
The pert, dark-haired 20-year-
old -from Newark, N.J., is virtual-
Ijf'the only female singer who can
sepre with a million-seller these
days her current "You're Gonna
Miss me" appears headed for her
fourth gold record.
How does she succeed in this
man's or boy's world?
"Because I sing cute songs."
sne expiamea. Koek n roll is
a masculine kind of music.
"The mistake that many girl
singers have made is trying to
compete with the men. I haven't
done that.
"Another reason why the estab
lished singers like Patti Page and
Teresa Brewer and Joni James
haven't been able to hit in the
pop field now is . teen age
identification. The teen-agers can't
identify with some singer in her
30s or even 30s. They want to hear
someone their own age." '
At 20, Connie realizes that she
is in jeopardy. But she is planning
for the future.
She said that she isn't touch
ing a cent of her record royalties
seven million discs come lo quite
a figure. They all go into a trust
fund.
Connie was here to tape a TV
show with Roy Rogers and Dale
Evans which will appear next
month. She's a petite girl, but she
admitted there was a time when
she wasn't so.
"When I was 12. I was 4 feet 11
and weighed 13S pounds," she re
called. "I played the accordion
then, and it was good to hide
behind.
"I appeared on Arthur God
Ley's Talent Scouts Show one
Christmas and decided I might doi n
better if I sang as well as played.
I wasn't very good. I got a week's
engagement on his morning show,
and he suggested I should develop
my singing more."
So she shed the accordion and
37 pounds as well, all in two
months.

A four-month crash program
that provided food for about 150,-

1954. when hurricane Hazel killed
livestock and ravaged plantations
When the United Stares launched
its emergency aid program in Ap

of desolation. Trees stood stark
and lifeless. Even the weeds had
withered.
Lester J. Gottlieb of the U.S

traveling over the country for the
past four months by foot, horse
and jeep that the northwest penin
