Labor Secretary Comes Under Fire For Role In Fund Raising Reception WASHINGTON UPl) - Rep. Oliver Bolton, R-Ohio. said to day that Labor Secretary Wi)lard Wim should withdraiv as host for a $liO-a-ticket recep tion (o raise funds for Sen. Harrison A. Williams Jr., D N.J. Bolton, renewing an attack on the cabinet officer, charged that Wirtz "committed a most se rious breach of public trust" by seeking campaign donations from lobbyists and trade assoc iation representatives. Drug Fails, Girl Dies Of Cancer ROCKFORD, III. lUPH j Diane Lindstrom, 18, who ; spurned a leg amputation to .' stake her life on the controvor- sial drug krebiozen, died Mon- day night of bone cancer. Miss Lindstrom lost her ycar J long battle against a malignant tumor of the right thigh at J Rockford Memorial Hospital. She had been in the' hospital J about six weeks. . Last March, the pretty high : school coed faced a terrifying ? decision either have her leg ! amputated or face the risk of dying before she reached her ; 23rd birthday. Her family physician, Dr. : Robert E. Heerins, who first detected the tumor last Janu I arv, said Plie cancer was "se- vere" and urged her to have the operation. Two days before the sched ; u led amputation, Diane called ! it off. She said she would ra- ther die than have her leg am- .putated. Missile Goes On Wild Ride, Valuable Nose Cone Lost CAPE CANAVERAL (UPH , Ocean - spanning rockets have been flying for seven years, but they still occasionally run afoul of accidents some of them bor : dering on the unforgettable. " An advanced - model Atlas missile that started off on a rather "routine" flight sudden- ly went haywire at Che edge -. of space Monday night, and ru ined a multi-miHion-doIlar test '. for a new nose cone and pack- ages of scientific experiments. In the process, the silvery gi ; ant treated observers to a r space show spectacular in widc- screen proportions. This one probably will be remembered j alongside a Saturn "super - booster" that dumped 95 spark '. ling tons of .water in space and a Polaris missile that landed in ". a river near Cape Canaveral. The 82-foot Atlas, an "F-mod-i el" gcncratinkSRD.OOO pounds of t!hrust, made a normal blast-off " and appeared to be flying in - fine style toward a target 5.000 miles away until its "oul- board" booster engines dropped c away. The booster separation was 1 planned, but what happened af - tor that definitely was not. The i. Atlas suddenly began tumbling end over end, wildly out of con S'trol. " Abruptly, the normally serene ionosphere at (lie top of earth's Y atmosphere was turned topsy . turvy. Churned by both the speed and the heat of the high flying Atlas, the rarefied gases boiled up and sent luminescent ripples soaring across scores of miles. The turbulent display flared again and again, like bluish mud frothing from a warm gey ser, earh time the Atlas made one tumble about one every Shopping List HOW! : AVOID WAITINO order oheod of Ihf crowdl SAVI INMGY tf ui prepare your order ASSURI SAVINGS while irocki are complete 1.ij.ujij.i4jynl ORIGINjjjyn ; !S& io big; mm DAYS j : feJj Get your : : PIH Mmce : He also challenged President Kennedy to say if solicitation of funds from such sources by cabinet or sub-cabinet officials would be condoned.

List Was Checked The spokesman said Wirtz had screened the invitation list in advance to make sure that Treatment Of 'Bursitis" Rapped By N.Y. Surgeon SAN FRANCISCO tUPli - A New York surgeon called upon his medical colleagues today to junk the term "bursitis" as a diagnostic tool in the treatment of sore shoulders. "The word 'bursitis' as it's commonly used," said Dr. Har rison L. McLaughlin, "is the most harmful factor in the treatment of sore shoulders. Bursitis is merely a symptom of some primary cause." Also, McLaughlin said, the overwhelmingly common pri mary cause of the sore shoul ders so often found among middle-aged Americans is a small calcium deposit that almost al ways will go away if you leave it alone. McLaughlin, a professor of orthopedic surgery at the Pres byterian Medical Center in New York, discussed shoulder ail ments at a press briefing at the 49th annual clinical congress of the American College of Sur geons. About 11,000 fellows of (he college surgeons from (he three seconds. Then, it was gone covered in blackness when Hie rocket exhausted its fuel. Bits and pieces of the errant rocket tumbled into the Atlan tic Ocean off Florida's cast coast, well short of its planned target area near Ascension Is land, off the west coast of Africa. The Air (Force was at a loss to explain what happened. The mishap cost scientists and technicians the nose cone and the packages of measuring devices, all of w hich they had intended to recover. no labor leaders, government employes, registered lobbyists listed in the Congressional Rec ord or trade association offi cials were being solicited. John Sharon, Washington law yer who is chairman of the re ception, said that he and J. Ed ward Day, former postmaster general, screened the list care fully to omit anyone "we knew to have a matter currently be fore the senator's committees or Hie labor department." Sharon said in an interview United States and 79 foreign countries are in San Francisco (his week for the congress, (lie world's largest of its type. McLaughlin said the ailment commonly known as bursitis can be caused by many things injury to tendons, infection, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, tu mor or tlte mysterious spontan eous stiffening known as frozen shoulder. But usually, he said, it is caused by painfully inflamed calcium deposits on the tendons betw een the shoulder socket and the top of the arm. This ail ment is exceedingly common among those over 60.

Contributors to Williams' 1958 campaign and Sew Jersey Gov. Richard Hughes' 1961 election fund and a "group of people known to be friends o! the sena tor" were added, Sharon said. Cut In Half The list o! a "couple thou sand" then was whittled down to about "900 or 1.000" by elim inating lobbyisfs, trade associa tion officials and those with business pending beSovc Wil liams' Senate committees or the department, he said. Sharon said there was "ab solutely" no intention to solicit funds from lobbyists or trade groups, but he added: "If wc made mistakes, we've made mistakes." He declined to make the guest list public because "it's not fair to the people who have contributed or arc being asked to ccmribute." Bolton charged last Wednes day that Wirtz tut a "new low" in Kennedy administration tech niques for raising political funds. Bolton's office, however, declined to make public the names of lobbyists or trade as sociation representatives he ac cused Wirtz of soliciting for do nations. He said disclosure of the names could be "embar rassing" to those invited. LAST OF THE POSSE The onfy survivors of the posse that ran down the Indians involved in Ihe LiWle High Rock massacre east of Eagleville in 1911 met recently to autograph ihe book, "Frozen &rais," written by Ken neth Scott, former Eaqle ville resident. The book is an account of the massacre of four Eagleville ranchers in the winter oi 1911 and the subsequent chase io find the renegade Indians responsible for the slaughter. Both Charlie Demick, left, and O. D, Van Norman, n'gfif, served on the posse from the time the search began for the missing ranchers to the time of the gun battle and capture of ihe Indians. Selling 61 Home Doesn't Relieve Vet Of Liability Merely selling his GI home docs not relieve Ihe veteran of his liability to the Veterans .Ad ministration, U. J. Novotny, manager of the Portland VA Regional Office, said recently. Too alien veterans who have sold their federal GI homes learn later that the buyer has defaulted on the loan, the mort gage has been foreclosed, a de ficiency resulted and they are liable to VA for payment of the claim VA had to pay to the lender, he said. Oregon veterans should under stand this UrnvnugWy when dis posing of their GI homes, Novot ny emphasized. The veteran may be released of the liability to the Veterans Administration vl his loan is cur rent and if the purchaser has obligated himself by contract io purchase his property and as sume his liability. In addition, the purchaser Y must satisfy the VA that he is a good credit risk. Oregon veterans may apply to the VA nr a release irmm liability by submitting a writ ten request addressed to Man ager, Veterans Administration Regional Office, 20ft SAV.

The request should include (lie VA loan number if known tit is shown on the reverse of the certificate of eligibility', the ad dress oi tbc property, the name and address of the proposed purchaser, and the name and aHlrcss of the holder of t h e morgagc, Novotny said.
