Senator to Bare Expense PORTLAND (€P) — Senator Richard Nixon, in the strongest sign yet that he will stay on as Republican candidate for vice- president, announced plans to- day for a radio-television report to the voters of the United States on his finances—personal and political. The California Senator caught in a campaign squeeze by his $18,000 expense fund, broke off his current western trip tem- porarily to present his case to the people, either tomorrow or Wednesday night. But he em- phasized that he intends to re- sume his tour. “Tt informed General Eisen- hower last night in a telephone conversation of my decision,” Nixon told newspaper men. This was immediately taken as a strong indication that Eis- enhower has decided to stand by his running mate. Nixon has contended he used $18,000 for| his fight against Communism and corruption and not for personal profit. The expense fund was con- tributed by some 75 Californians many of them wealthy. Indi- vidual contributions ranged as home and changed into dry clothes, . high as $500. Weatherman The warm sunny skies on Sun- day were just a forerunner of what’s in store for Prince Ru- pert all week—the weatherman thinks. At any rate, he said it should be clear and warm today and again tomorrow. The thermometer rose to an official 69.9 degrees at its height yesterday, hottest day since August 8 when it was 72 above. A weak disturbance is moving inland over southern Alaska and will give some clouds to north- ern sections of the province to- day and Tuesday however a ridge of high pressure covers the remainder of the province and skies will remain sunny.

Skeletons Found in Remote Cave; Police Investigate Discovery of-six skeletons in a cave at a logging operation on Crow Lake, about 65 miles north of here, is being investigated by RCMP. Ray Jetter, operator of a loz- ging camp, came to the city Saturday to report the find. Crow Lake is on the west side and close to the entrance of Khutzeymateen Inlet. The Jetter camp is about four miles from the huge Columbia Cellulose logging operations at Khutzey- mateen. Mr. Jetter said the skeletons were found after he had felled a tree in a heavily-wooded section. INDIAN GRAVES He did not eleborate on the area and after loading supplies on his boat returned to campsite late Saturday. the Police believe. the cave is lo- cated on an old Indian grave- yard and may be one’ of t graves used by Indians in 1896 when dozens died duiting an epidemic of measles in that part of the province. There are several Known grave- yards on the Queen Charlotte Islands and a special section of the law provides that logging operators must report findings to police. The law forbids anyone from removing anything from the graves. The RCMP boat should reach the s@ene sometime today. he Canadian Stee! Workers Plan Campaign on 20-Cent Wage Boost TORONTO @—The head of Cahada’s powerful stee] union gave notice Saturday he is seeking a $20,000,000 a year wage- boosting jackpot for the major segment of his outfit. C. H. Millard; Canadian director of United Steelworkers of America (CIO-CCL), told a press conference he dlans to cam- paign during the next two years for an average 20-cent-an- hour wage boost, covering 53,000 members of the 70,000 member organization. This additional increase in wages was not econemically unsound since it will be of general benefit to low wage areas, he said. | tie sali
