High yesterday 45 Loir last night 35 Precip. last 24 hours none Since Oct. 1 i.&ft Same period last year 4.33 By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: Secretary of Commerce Hodges will head a committee named by President Kennedy to study prob lems of the U.S. cotton textile in dustry and suggest solutions. The White House says the panel will look into such questions as the industry's ability to meet mount ing Imports, cotton subsidy price levels and technological develop meats. Possible federal help for textile . plants and workers hurt by im port competition will also be con sidered by the committee. Hmmmmmmm. Let s see if we can get a straight look at the! facts in this cotton textile busi ness. Here is what has been hap pening: We subsidize the cotton grow ers, thus bringing about a SUR PLUS of cotton. In order to get rid of the surplus (when we begin to run out of storage space) we sell it abroad at a CUT price, which is absorbed by the subsidy. Then FOREIGNERS buy the cheap cotton we are dumping, spin it into cloth with labor that is much cheaper than our labor and sell the cloth back to us at. prices that ' are lower than our mills can meet. That seems to be the long and the short of it. Business note in the news: A round hot dog that looks like ' a doughnut is in the works. The president of the concern that hopes to start national distribution of it this spring says consumers have long asked for a frankfurter that fits circular hamburger buns and BAGELS. Question: What's a BAGEL? It stumped this department, which tends to deal more with economics, sociology, political phi losophies and the lessons of his tory than with new-fangled hot dogs and such. So we fell back on the dictionary, consulting first Webster's Collegiate edition, which doesn't take up much space on a desk. No soap. The Collegiate goes from bagatelle to baggage, with no mention of bagel. So we tried Funk & Wagnalls' New Standard Dictionary. Still no soap. We then went to Webster's Unabridged, which weighs about 20 pounds No mention of bagel. So we asked Wayne Scott, our snorts editor and he came across without an instant's hesi tation. A bagel, he said, is a round bun, a little on the tough, side, and filled with fish or any thing that happens to strike the! fancy of the maker. Bagels, he added, have long been popular around baseball parks. Conclusion: : When you want to know some thing, ask the sports editor. Getting back to this entrepre neur and his round hot dog, he may have something. The trouble with the old-fashioned frankfurter is that it tends to stick out over the edges of the bun. So , . . you're at a loss as to where to begin when you tackle one. Shall you bite off the ends? Or shall you tackle the bun from the side, leaving the frankfurter ends hang ing out for the last delicious bite? It's a problem. These round hot dogs will pre sent no problem. You'll just wade into them. You're familiar, per haps, with this business proverb: "If you write a better book, or preach a better sermon, or build a better mousetrap than your neighbor, the world will make a beaten path to your door." It sounds like the round hot dog man may hit the jackpot. ALEXANDRIA, Va.

Larry Dearing, manager of the store, said a man whom he de scribed as about 5 feet, 10 inches tall, wearing a dark brown over coat, a grey hat, smoking a cigar j and who was about 40, weighing between 150-60 pounds, wheeled a haskct of groceries up to the check stand at about 7:45 p.m., showed Dearing a gun and said, "This is a holdup . . . lock the dooc" Dearing complied, locking the door, and was directed to 'put all the money in a bag." He said he put the money in a brown pa per bag. He was then instructed Enters Plea Of Guilty to "get the money out of the other till," which he did. The man then ordered Dealing and Vem Gibney, checker, the only other occupant of the store at the time, into a refrigerated walk-in cooler at the rear of the store. He warned them to "wait here for five minutes." He left without locking the door. and after a few minutes the two men rushed out, but were unable to see anyone departing from Uiej vicinity of the store. Dearing said the man did not! attempt to mask his face in any manner, and that he had very small facial features. He was not certain of how much money the bandit took, but estimated it between $600 and $800, all in small bills and change. It was not known whether the man had an automobile or not, as both his arrival and departure were undetected. City police were scouring the area within a few minutes after they were alerted, but up to press time had little to report.! struction of a first class all-weath er highway from Winnemucca to Crescent City. The proposed route would pass through Lakeview, Klamath Falls, Mcdford and Grants Pass on its way to the a. The group decided that construe tion of the highway was a county responsibility and the project should be controlled by the coun ties until it is completed and rea dy for use. Then c h a in b c r s of commerce and tourist organiza tions along the route would be asked to join the association, Each county court would contrib ute from $250 to $350 a year fori expenses. The bylaws for the Winnemuc ca-to-the-Sea Association were pat terned after those of the Redwood Empire Association, a group which pushed for the Redwood Highway from Grants Pass south, down Highway 101 to San Fran cisco. The group first met last July and elected Landrum as tempo rary chairman. It was decided that a non - profit corporation should be set up to coordinate the Winnemucca - to-the-Sea Highway among the six counties involved. County officials felt the need to present a united front to federal and state highway groups. A Friday night banquet con cluded the day-long session. Rep resentatives emerged from the meeting with high hopes that the long awaited highway would be a reality soon. hue Uemhtim Pushed Twisters Rip Five Towns; Snow, Cold Add To Misery By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Tornadoes slashed central Okla homa communities Friday night and there was snow, rain, cold and fog in the nation's weather mixture Saturday.

Hatfield Tells Editors He Won't Run For Senate By WILLIAM N. OATIS UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) Leaders from Asia and Africa pressed the Security Council Saturday to bolster the United Nations' hand in the Congo. The move could leave the Soviet bloc alone in its efforts to force the U.N. out of the strife-torn nation. Ceylon, Liberia and the United Arab Republic pushed a resolution that would authorize the U.N. to use force if need be to head off civil war in the infant African state, and claimed widespread support in Asia and Africa. But the resolution faced major hurdles that raised the possibility of an emergency assembly session. The aim of the proposal received support from the United States with reservations. Chief U.S. Delegate Adlai Stevenson told reporters Friday night he was doubtful about some provisions but that "it offers a basis for negotiations."

Brucker said that now as in the past, the "basic job of informing the people should be done by the newspaper, despite the advances of radio and television news re porting.

Morse, D-Orc., for the U.S. Sen ate in 1962. Hatfield has said the same thing before. One questioner asked Hatfield whether he thought Howell App ling Jr., the secretary of state and a Republican, could be a strong candidate to oppose Morse. Hut- ticld said Appling has the ability to run for any office and to serve capably if elected. Hatfield also mentioned Rep. Walter Norblad, R-Ore., state Son Anthony Yturri and former state Sen.

Such a change would almost' certainly provoke a veto from the; Soviet Union which has denounced Kasavubu as a traitor and called f o r Hiimmarskjold's dismissal. The Soviets are demanding an end of the whole U.N. operation in the Congo within a month. One diplomat said the resolution has an even chance in council if the United States votes for It and the Soviet Union abstains. Should it run into a veto, an emergency session of the 99-na-tion assembly almost certainly would follow in 24 hours. Guinea and Yugoslavia have said they would seek one. If the resolution should fail by abstention, no emergency session would be possible under the rules and further Congo action would have to awn it the assembly s re sumed session beginning March 7.

It also urged the convening of I the Congolese parliament; the re organization of all Congolese armed units and their elimination from political activity. Meanwhile, protest demonstra tions against Lumumba's death continued abroad. Some 2,000 Indonesian students stormed the U.S. and Belgian em bassies in Jakarta Saturday. About 1,000 demonstrators broke into the unguarded home of U.S. Ambassador Howard Jones, dragged out several chairs and other pieces of furniture and set them afire. Jones was not at home. West German Envoy Gives In On Help WASHINGTON (AP) - West German Foreign Minister Hein- rich von Brentano took off for homo Saturday after giving Presi dent Kennedy pretty much what he wanted in the way of German contributions to aid for underde veloped countries. Brentano's plane left here at 6:40 a.m. He was scheduled to stop briefly at Idlewild Airport, New York City, on his way to Bonn. Previously the Germans had of fered a one-shot one-year deal of less than a billion. Kennedy was reported by press secretary Pierre Salinger to feel the new offer was satisfactory and "had the effect of clearing tho atmosphere." The United States has insisted that now-prosperous West Ger many take over more of the load of aid to poorer nations as a mcans of helping to stop the heavy drain on U.S. gold and dol lar reserves. With West Germany doing its part, the United States would not have to spend so much abroad. The beclouded relations between the two NATO allies over this matter began in the closing days of the Eisenhower administration. . Steps Token To Ease Housing Credit WASHINGTON (AP)-The Fed eral Home Loan Bank said Satur day it has taken a scries of steps designed to make more housing credit available at lower interest rates through savings and loan associations. Among other things, the board incroascd from $18,000 to $22,000 the maximum home owner's loan that can be made by savings and loan associations. This will have the effect of re ducing down payment require ments on the higher priced homes. The actions were disclosed with an exchange of letters with Presi dent Kennedy, who had asked the board's aid in an administration effort "to secure a level of mort- gage interest rates which will stimulate the construction of hous ing units." Announcing a five-point pro gram, the bank board replied it thinks its actions "will materially increase the availability of hous ing credit and tend to reduce the cost of such credit to the Ameri can public." Present regulations permit home loans with a 10 per cent down payment and a maximum mort gage of $18,000. The new regulations fixing a $22,000 maximum permit lending 90 per cent of the first $20,000 value of a home, and 80 per cent of the next $5,000 of value. On a1 $22,000 home, the required down payment would be cut from $4,000 to $2,400. To provide savings and loan as sociations with more money for lending, the board increased the amount they can borrow from dis trict federal home loan banks. The old limit of 12 ',j per cent of the member institution's sav ings is increased to 15 per cent. More than a billion dollars of extra credit could result, the hoard said. Tlie board also proposed to make special five-year advances to member associations, and said similar action three years ago In creased lending funds by $300 million. in a shalt and causing tons oMhe form ol a tax of up to 3 1 water to pour into the lower Icv-ipcr cent tax on a maximum of els of the mine. $-1,000 of a worker's income. j those who remained in Burma.
