The Dodgers went on to score a 9 to 3 victory, wrapping up the Series.

At 4:21 a.m. he again radioed, and said he had stopped the vehicle and would questioa the occupants and call back. Motorist Calls In The radio officer here said the next voice he heard was a strange one ever Kilby's radio. It said: "Police station. This is 3 our police car.

It looks like your officer has been in trouble. His cap and flashlight are lying on the highway and the police car's red light is on and going." Hermiston Police Chief Willism A.

Channel Enterprise "There are a thousand things we can do," the solon stated, to channel government-enterprise from defense spending into other areas. He mentioned construction of mental hospitals and other institutions as examples. Sen. Humphrey stated that while Nikita Khrushchev's re cent disarmament proposal be fore the United Nations was a propaganda cqu it should be fully explored at t- "The Soviets need disarma ment," he commented, in order to carry out their plans for economic growth and competition.

"They may very well be serious about some form of disarmament," he said of the Red premier's He said disarmament negotiations could be carried out at the same time plans for the economic shift were developed since the problem was a "long term" proposition. The senator ridiculed Vice President Richard MvNixon's scheduled appearance at the edication of The Dalles Dam Saturday, and his appearance at a dam dedication in New Hampshire last weekend. "Out here," he said, "the Republicans have never built a dam but they're strong on dedicating them. They're trained to dedicate them." Continuing this attack on the Republican Administration's "no new starts" reclamation "policy, Sen. Humphrey said the Democrats would have to get back in office soon so more dams could be built.

Otherwise, he said, the Republicans would soon be running out of dams to dedicate. I Other Girl Said To Be 'Pretty Good' Portland (DPD Authorities at the University of Oregon Medical School hospital said today that one of the Subble- neia Siamese twms was sink ing rapidly" due to breathing trouble. The spokesman said the condition Jeanett Stub blefield worsened this morning. The spokesman said "things look pretty dark. She started to get worse about 7:30 a.m.

It's her breathing." Tracheotomy Performed Jeanett and her twin, Den-net, were separated by surgery in a lengthy operation Tuesday. They had been joined from the breastbone to the navel and had adjoining heart sacs and livers. A tracheotomy Wednesday was performed on Jeanett when her breathing became difficult. The main problem was trying to keep the bronchial tubes clear of mucous. Both girls were in oxygen tents and were fed intravenously.

Other Girl 'Pretty Good' The spokesman said Den-net's condition seemed to be "pretty good" today. The girls, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. James St. oblefield, were born one month premature at Nyssa, and were rushed here "the next day.

When the decision to separate the girls was made, medical authorities said there were great risks involved but enough of a chance for survival to warrant an operation. DA Asks Agencies To Enforce Law District Attorney Thomas J. Reeder today announced he has asked loc-7 law enforcement agencies to enforce the new stte law against juveniles' smoking. This la as passed in the 1959 Legislature, makes it illegal both for a person to furnish tobacco in any form and in any manner to a minor under 18, and for a minor under 18 to smoke, use, or possess any form of tobacco in any public place. It also holds a business person liable for minors' using tobacco at the place of bush? The law, as Reeder explained it, represents a revision and simplification of former statutes.

Formerly, but no more, a person could furnish tobacco to a minor under 18 if the minor had proper written consent. "This will be a difficult law to enforce," Reeder commented. "However, it is our plain duty to do the best we can. "We particularly wish to prevent students the age of 18 years from smoking around our schools and other public places." MAOISM 36 Pages Los Angeles Wins Clincher By 9-3 Score Essegian Raps 2nd Pinch-Hit Homer Chicago (UPD The' Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series today when they crushed the Chicago White Sox, 9-3 to write a new baseball "rags to riches" story. A riotous fourth inning in which thr.

Dodgers came up with six runs was the difference and crushed the White Sox' hopes of removing the stigma set on them 40 years ago when the "Black Sox" threw the series to the Cincinnati Reds. As for the Dodgers it meant bringing the first world's baseball championship to the Golden West and one of the greatest comebacks in the history of Ihe game. Richest Series They took it from there to defeat the White Sox four games to two in this richest and largest attended World Series of all time. Home runs by Duke Snider, Wally Moon and ninch-hitter Chuck Es- segian-his second as a substi tute batsman in the series- triggered the Dodgers to vic tory. While starter Johnny Pod- res could not hold the eight- run lead which the Dodgers gave him in the first four in nings, Dodger relief ace Larry Sherry came on to thwart the White Sox and win his second game of the series.

Sherry saved two others to make him one of the biggest heroes in Dodger history- A crowd of 47,653 sat in on this dark, chilly afternoon and saw their American League champions go down to defeat. The Dodgers got off to an early lead when Snider, hitting his 11th series home run, started putting the crusher on White Sox starter Early Wynn in the third inning. It came with two out and a teammate on base. Then came that big fourth. The Dodgers sent 10 men to the plate, with Moon's home run the big blow of the inning.

The White Sox came back with three runs when big Tpd Kluszewski's third homer of the series knocked out Podres. But then Sherry came on, and that was the end of the White Sox.

Inside were three youths, one of whom he knew. They told Galliher a car Parents Certain Montana Girls Kidnap Victims Helena, par ents of three teen-age girls who disappeared six days ago with two escaped convicts and 2n ex-convic said today they were convmced the girls were abducted.

The search for the missing girls and the three men mov ed today from Montana to southern Idaho, where a gas station attendant in Arco said he serviced the stolen 1959 sedan in which the teen-agers left Helena with the men. Officials had kept the girls disappearance secret until Wednesday, for fear the men might panic and harm them. Claudia Fuller and Sharon Balazs, both 17, and Sharon McDowell, 16, a a rently climbed willingly into the pink sedan at noon last Friday. California Convicts Involved With them were escaped California convicts George R. Jann, 29, and Frank H.

Spic-er, 24, and ex-convict Frank I. Fisher, 20. The men came to Helena recently in the pink car, believed to have been stolen in Snohomish, Wash, The three men, charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, struck up an ac quaintance with the gjris ana dated them. I "They told the girls they had just beeg discharged from the service and pooled their money buy the car," said Mrs. Darline McDowell.

She discussed someof the recognizable symptoms of such conditions.

Dr. Anderson urged that all persons working professionally with children gain an understanding of the brain damage problem. The medical profession, seconded by psy chology, must take the lead in developing the ability, to recognize this affliction, she said. Fortunately, the time is ripe for real progress in this whole field." Mullin this morning men tioned the problem of the juvenile traffic offenders has increased. Primary Concern Primarily the concern to day is with that group of Ore gon drivers who are under the age of 18 years, and who, by; driving on the streets and highways, are exercising an adult privilege although often not mature enough in judgment to accept the responsibility that goes with that privilege.

He added that this could also be said of many adults. Mullin said it had been his experience that persons who are most vociferous on the subject of what court should handle the problem are those most reluctant to observe how it is being done now. "We are entirely too concerned over jurisdiction and not enough concerned about treatment, and it is in treatment alone that the answer will be iound, Mullin continued. The speaker believes that when the same stigma is attached to the violation of a traffic law as to the violation of any other law society will have come a long way towards solving the problem.

The second-term senator and former mayor of Minne apolis, a candidate for the Democratic 1960 presidential nomination, urged a positive attitude toward peace. Role, as Peacemaker The U.S. government has failed to emphasize its role as a peacemaker in its dealings with the Soviet Union, the senator said, and has also failed to emphasize "not that capitalism is a better system but that freedom is." The question, he continued, is not wno manes xne most bathtubs and tractors but "what kind of a society you have." The difference is a Spirit ual one and not a financial one." With respect to disarma ment, Sen.

Humphrey warned that this country must be prepared for the economic shift that would follow any major cutback in arms production. Shifting Gears inted out that the So-vic .1 is capable of rapidly cting its economic gears, id compared this to "our inabilty to quickly readjust our economy." "We are starting staff studies" in Congress, he said, "on economic plans that relate to any form of disarmament. We ought to have plans on what would happen if our whole economy was suddenly to change." -Humphrey disagreed with the opinion held in some quar-1 ers that American munitions manufacturers oppose, arms cutbacks because of the effect on their business and that they apply pressure in Washington to prevent disarma These people," he said both of the businessmen and of laborers, "don't want to keep the cold war going because they want to have jobs. These people want jobs, period." But, he said, They have to out the day, party workers reported a steady stream of voters. The weather was excellent.
