Maurine Neuberger, D-Ore., ar rived in Ghana Sunday for a two - day visit. She was accompanied by Sen. Albert Gore. D-Tenn.. his wifj. and Carl Macy. chief of staff Inr the Senate Foreign Relation ' Committee. . Gore said the purpose of the visit is to leant more about Ghana and reinforce U.S. policies in the area. die hearings may set patterns for a revolution in the railroad indus try. Rail executives have been pointing to a "merger fever" that might leave the country with only a tew super-giants in another decade. Southern Pacific has asKed the ICC to approve side-by-side con solidation of parallel and duplicat ing facilities, which is what the line calls Western Pacific's link route. Santa Fe proposed to extend its lines through control of Western Pacific from San Francisco lo Salt Lake City. Observers feel that if either railroad wins its case the deci sion could produce a chain reac tion affecting other possible mer gers across the nation. Western Pacific is not forced to seek consolidation, since it makes a handsome profit now and has a potentially much greater future. But President Fredcri-k H. Whitman feels that tile tenden cy toward mergers is such that his line will inevitably be ab sorbed by a bigger railroad. Whitman prefers to merge wiih Santa Fe. a commercial ally for decades. His company is backing Santa Fe in the hearings. After three days here, the hear-1 ings will resume at Salt Lake City Thursday and Friday; at Se attle Oct. 23-24, and at Portland Oct. 25-27.

Coast Guard units started search when the men failed be.mj, or. (Afi A group. ot angry tastern Oregon legisla tors met in Ben Saturday. They discussed avenues of ae-j lion that might be taken to cor rect what they said was an un just legislative reapportionment plan submitted by Howell App ling Jr., Oregon secretary i state. j The last Legislature passed a reapportioning act, which did very little reapportioning, but it1 was struck down after several appeals were filed with the Ore gon Supreme Court. The court said the Legislature s a action did not conform with the o I const ilutional direction that rep- arrive about 9 p.m. Wreckage I resentation in both houses must was spotted shortly before noo.ilbe strictly by population. Sunday. I The meeting was called by State Sen. Harry D. Boivin. D- Klamath Falls, who set the key note witn this statement: . "It is the old story of taxation without representation. We could, over a period of time, be put in a serious situtation. To my mind the people of Eastern Oregon are entitled to proper representation. just as much as the people in Multnomah County. The opinion most generally voiced at the Bend meeting was that area should be as important as population in representation to the Legislature. The problem facing the 16 state senators and representatives whol attended was this: The state con stitution requires the Legislature! to reapportion itself after every census on tne basis ot population If the Legislature does not do it, Ihe secretary of state must. And the Supreme Court has the final say on the constitutionality of any plan. Lawmakers at Ihe Bend meet ing discussed three plans, all of which would have to be augment ed through a constitutional amendment. PREDICTS COMMUNISM'S END NEW YORK a'PH-Four-thou- sand Cubans rallying against the regime ot Fidel Castro were told Sunday that Castro's downfall would mark the beginning of the end of communb-m in the world. The prediction was made by Dr. Jose Miro Cardona. chief of the Cuban revolutionary council. First was the plan passed by the Legislature, but rulled in valid by the -court. That would have taken three representatives from eastern Oregon and left the same Senate representation for the eastern two thirds of t h e state. Second was another proposal. almost passed by the Legislature, which would have increased the numbers of senators and repre sentatives, and increased eastern Oregon's representation in the house. Third was the so-called federal plan, which would give a senator to each county, regardless of pop ulation, with the house member ship made up on the basis of pop-illation. Fourth, and only half in jest. the Eastern Oregon legislators talked of secession economic if not political. Boivin suggested, tongue in cheek, that the co'inties east of the mountains join Nevada. But another delegate was serious about it. We may not be able to se cede," Giles French, a former legislator from Mora, said, "but w'e can secede economically. That's a rough Hung to say, hut we may have to do it."
