Yet, says editor Walt McKib ben, we continued to interpret this market as extremely healthy with relatively little risk of any bear movement of significant extent, and with good possibili ties of finding a significantly higher level. Indicator Digest says the brief, minor upswing since March 1 "is probably within a few points of topping out." It feels stocks will continue to move up and down in their trading range until they break below 659 in the senior average or above 688 with sharply higher volume showing up at the time of breakthrough. Alfred Robbins. a registered pharmacist associated with Stein- cr Rouse k Co., says the govern ment investigation of the drug companies has improved the in dustry's profit potential. He finds more money being plowed back into basic research and says the bewildering flow of new products has been checked, meaning the drugs that do reach pharmacists and physicians are now far more potent as profit-makers. WALL STREET NEW Y'ORK lUPD - Stocks inched ahead today. Gains were in a heavv maioritv but in most cases they were strict ly ot the small fractional vanctv. Not' one blue chip added more uian point.

If the eastern route is approved as the official Pan American Highway, the association will press for the designation of its proposed route as Pan American Highway West, according to in formation made available to Cal lison. He said further that the Oka nogan Cariboo Trail Association is the oldest highway organiza tion in existence in the United States, and perhaps predates sim ilar groups everywhere. Callison also commented on an other organization, but that one was commercial one that would seem to have a great economic effect on the area. The subject of his remarks was the Hoyden-Newport Chemical Company of New York which indicated that it would open a plant in the Bend-Klamath Falls area sometime before 1968 to ex tract elements from tree stumps to produce products such as resin and turpentine. The tree stumps would come from two million tons of pine stumps in the Winema, Deschutes and Fremont nation al forests for which the company bid $2.27 per ton at a bid open ing in Portland Monday. One of the requirements of the bid no lice was that the successful bid der open a plant in the Bend Klamath Falls area to separate the extracts from the stumps. Callison stated that the firm indicated its interest in the slump age in September, 1960, and had contacted the chamber about the matter several times since that date. He told of two visits repre sentatives of the company made to Klamath Falls to explore the possibility of opening a plant here. The first took place several years ago when members of the firm talked with Callison and returned to their plant with speci mens ot the stumps. On their next visit, they shipped a freight ear load of the material to be used in tests. In another report, Dick Green. chairman of the Upper Klamath Lake and Recreation Committee stated that the Oregon State Game Commission would conduct field trips to Summer Lake, Silver Lake and Ely April 6 through 8. w'th the intention of showing sportsmen "that deer are there Green said that deer hunters and other interested people are invited to join the tours but they must first contact the game com mission before doing so. The tours developed as the re sult of a near statewide protest from deer hunters last fall. The hunters argued that Ihe game com mission's policy of conducting doe and antlorless hunts had resulted in decimating deer herds in vari ous parts of the state. The outcry resulted in the state legis lature setting up an interim study committee to study management, practices and policies of the game commission. Jury Handed Ochiho Case The case of Zelma Joan Ochi ho. 41, accused of first degree marder in the slaying of Forence Baker Huitt, 26, March 19, was bound over to the grand jury after a preliminary hearing in district court Thursday at 3:30 p.m. Mrs. Ochiho is accused of slay ing Mrs. Huitt, her cousin, with a .308 caliber rifle at 616 Com mercial Street at about 7 p.m Present at the time of the shooting was Eddie Dailey, own er of the house, and Otis Wash ington. Dailey said he was in the kitchen at the time and heard the shot, but didn't see it fired. He said when he turned he saw Mrs. Ochiho with the rifle in her hand leaving the building. Washington said he was sitting on the davenport with Mrs. Bak er and saw Mrs. Ochiho enter the house, point the gun and fire i ' ur 1 RECOGNITION GIVEN Mrs. Virginia McGaughey, one of three finalists in Oregon for the Mrs. America title for 1963, center, and her daughter, Robbi, left, were pre sented with five-year pins in Girl Scout work, by Mrs. Harriett Brotherhood, execu tive director of Juniper Council Girl Scouts.

House Cuts JFK Budget WASHINGTON (UPD - The House Appropriations Committee took its first swing today at Pres ident Kennedy's record budget, lopping off 9 per cent of his re quest for the Interior Department and Forest Service. Nevertheless, the economy drive on its Hrst test tell short of the target which some conservatives insist must be met before Con gress would be justified in yield ing to Kennedy's plea for a $10.3 billion tax cut. The first regular money bill, which the committee sent to the House floor for action next week, carried $935,690,000 for Interior and the Forest Service for the fiscal year starting July 1. This is $92,818,000 less than Kennedy asked. But the total is $37,508,200 more than Congress made available for Ihe same agencies last year. It topped by $9,678,200, or 1 per cent, total funds that will be available for the current fiscal year, if pending administration requests are approved. In wielding its economy ax, the committee: Disallowed a request for $2 million for restoration of Ford's Theater in Washington, where Ab raham Lincoln was shot. Refused to approve a penny of $2 million requested for pur chase of land for a new National Seashore Park at Cape Cod, Mass. Disallowed as unwarranted a request for $1,111,800 for a lodge building, cruise boat and other facilities at Glacier Bak, Alaska. Denied a request for $6,692,000 for construction of new research facilities at Brucelon, Pa., to house '283 Bureau of Mines em ployes who now work at a Pitts burgh laboratory. However, the committee voted to boost funds budgeted by Ken nedy for some other programs, in cluding construction of additional campaign and picnicking facilities in national parks.

Thomas Hos pital. Dr. Jack Withcrspoon said York 75, is suffering a contusion of the chest and "traumatic pleurisy" probably incurred when York rolled off his bed at home last week. York's wife accompanied him Wednesday in an ambulance from his home in Pall Mall, Tenn., near the Kentucky border, to the hospital. Withcrspoon said York's condi tion is much belter than it was last summer when he was hospit alized for continued internal bleeding. Mrs. York said, "He don't want anybody to say he (ell out of bed. He says he just rolled out of bed." She said chest pains began for York shortly after the fall. York won the Congressional Medal of Honor for leading a sui- ide mission that killed 25 Ger man machine gunners and cap tured 132 others including the enemy battalion commander, dur ing the Allies final push ip Oc tober, 1918.

PORTLAND Record high use of electricity by customers of Pacific Power & Light Company and completion of major power transmission interconnections for delivery of new power supplies to its service areas marked prog ress of the company during 12, stockholders wore told Thursday. In the year's annual report to shareholders, Paul B. M.Kee, chairman of the Board of Direc tors, said PP&L's 396.466 elec tric customers used 7,371.407,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, a gain of 5.4 pea' cent over power use in the year previous. The record use also pushed the one-day peak load on the sys tem to a new high of 1,684.000 kilowatLs, more than 100,000 kilo watts above the peak of the pre vious winter. Residential consumers used an average of 9.111 kilowatt-hours, a gain of 325 KWH over 1961, and a total that is more than double the national average household use. In most Oregon and Washington districts the av erage use exceeds 10.000 kilowatt-hours annually, the company noted. Supplying electric and the other utility services to 240 western communities and neighboring ag ricultural areas resulted in total operating revenues of $100,158,- 000, an increase of 6.1 per cent. The earnings of the company, lifter provisions for the preferred share dividends, amounted lo $18,- 296,000 compared with $15,530,000 in 1961. i The earnings were equivalent to $1.28 per share on the 14.276,- 325 shares ot common outsland ing at the end of the year com pared with $1.15 per share or the 13.445.978 shares outstanding at the end of 1961, Four quarterly dividends of 24 cents a common share were declared.

Sullivan, 60, Durno Talk Hits U.S. Controls (Continued from Page 1) their obligations in repayment of debts to the U.S. and relieve the unbearable financial burden on this country. The Foreign Aid program should be cut in hal at tlie earliest possible moment and eventually eliminated, the speak er told his audience. "You can not buy friends with Yankee dol-ars." The Peace Corps, he said ex ports Americanism, not dollars, and should be supported under a high selectivity and kept free of politics. He referred to the block of 90 Southern Democrats who hold the real balance of pow er in the Con gress and said that the chairmen of the 15 strong committees in the government run the Congress. The people of the United States must act (or the safety of the U.S. He urced that as reDresenta- . lives of a minority party, Repuh- ' licans should work as they never have before to replace the politi cal machine in Washington. He proposed that letters be sent to the chairman of the commit tees, demanding action. The vot ers should not underestimate the value of communications. "Drill away and it will make an impres sion. He urged too, the evaluation of congressional representatives, "not by what he says or does but by how he votes. The mem bers of this club should have a voting record of every man and woman sent to Washington by your votes." Durno suggested the employ ment of a fulltime, paid individ ual in Oregon who would tell the people of this state what is go, ing on in the nation's capitol. "The GOP must escape from the concept that the Republicans represent the upper crust of America. We are the party that wants what is best for America.
