"Charles Teague, that California's Mt. Whitney be renamed Mt. Churchill in honor of the late British statesman drew spirited opposition from the Sierra Club conservationist group Wednesday.

Whitney, who first surveyed it in 1864. Robert Golden, general services manager of the Sierra CluB, said he was not opposed to honoring Churchill as the "man of the Century" but that the memory of Whitney should not be downgraded.

ARLINGTON, Ore. (AP)-The demolition hasn't started yet, but for some shop owners, it's going to be a race with the bull dozers. The Army Engineers have awarded a $3.9 million contract to Peter Kiewit Sons for excavation and embankment work, which includes tearing down the old business district of this Columbia River town. Relocated Higher Up Homes and city offices have been relocated on higher ground because the pool to be formed by the John Day Dam will flood the area.

An Army Engineer spokesman said Wednesday the owners of business establishments have 30 days in which to move to higher ground, but that little tune can be promised after that. The new business site has been sitting idle during court action over who should handle sale of lots. The city signed a contract per mitting Oregon Industrial Devel opment Corp. to handle it. That contract was overturned by a circuit judge, but upheld by the Oregon Supreme Court.

One Building Started To date, the only construction announced for the new business site is a bank building. Army Engineers began acquiring title to buildings and land in the old business district four years ago. They have been allowing businesses to continue in the shops on a month-to-month basis. Now the time is drawing short. Army Engineers say they will move the businesses out as fast as necessary to make way for the contractor.

The engineer spokesman said the contract was awarded July 15 and that the construction work can start within 10 days.

Hurt Whale Towed to Sea REHOBETH BEACH. Del. (AP) A 35-foot-long whale, its side riddled with what the Coast Guard said appeared to be bullet holes, washed up on the shore of a public beach near here Wednesday. Before the Coast Guard towed the half dead animal out to sea five hours later, an unidentified man cut out one of its teeth with an ax and scores of bathers posed in front of its open mouth while their friends snapped pictures.

The State Department of Agriculture said Wednesday that about 10 per cent of the 500 bean scales tested this season have registered from one to two pounds overweight. That means the grower is paying for that many beans that aren't there on each weigh ing.

Walter Steele, supervisor of weights and measure for the department, recalled a grower who did some figuring on his losses when he found about the faulty scales. After some quick calculations with a stubby pencil and a scrap of paper, the grower said: "A whole ton of beans! I paid the pickers for them but I didn't get a cent. Steele said any scale used in harvesting must be tested each year. Visitor to Talk On U.S. Chamber How U.S.

Lynn F. Cronemiller, 1760 Winter St. SE. Romania Moves Furthest The breakaway from' the Soviet Union, Davis declared, "is characterized to the greatest extent by Romania's growing independence. The fact that a satellite nation would declare itself independent from Moscow would be unthinkable 10 years back." (The pro-west broadcasts are beamed into Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland.) Davis went on to say that communism has failed in Eastern Europe.

"It has failed in a dramatic fashion economically, and also in its appeal to youth," he said. "We were much concerned Qvfcfc facts obocrf Series Savings Bonds: Yon ret back li tor ertrj at tttnrity.
