The case has attracted inter
national Interest. The U. S. govern
ment branded it aa daring, cold

other hand, called it a frame-up.
Gubitchev'a lawyera maintained
that the meetings of the two in
New York were simply a matter of
love.
After both defendants had left
the courtroom, Abraham L. Pom
erantz, the Russian's lawyer, told
reporters:
"She's acauitted of an attempt
to pase to him. He's convicted of
an attempt to receive from her.
I can make no aense of this. It
simply Indicates to me the ter

He said that on Thursday ne

include information on euch items

count will include seven censuses
and seven surveys.
The area included in thia district

order to make even more certain
that everyone ia counted.
"Outcome of the census will not

In closing, he urged everyone to

Statehood For Hawaii
Wins In House Veto
(Continuec from page One)
the righta of full citizenship they
have sought for many years.
Implied Premise Cited
Several of the Houae opponents
of the Alaaka statehood bill joined
the backera of statehood for Ha
waii. Among them was Rep. Johnson
(R-C'alif), who aaid he felt that
Hawaii has the population and the
financial resources to support (
state government, while in hia
opinion Alaaka doea not.
Hawaii'a population ia 530,000;
Alaska haa about 100,000.
Led by Farrington, supporters of
Hawaii statehood emphasized the
traditional evolution of territories
into atatea.
Farrinston aaid that the people
of Hawaii feel that they were prom
ised statehood when tne islands
were annexed to the union aa an
incorporated territory in, 1898.
He urged Congress to fulfill that
promise and make reality of the
hopea that have been nourished
for two generations."
The issue of Communism waa
raised by Rep. Cox (D-Ga), who
said Hawaii ia "communist con
trolled" and dominated by Harry
Hridgea, the president or tne
CIO International Longrhoremen's
union.
Reo. Delaney (R-NY) opposed
Hawaiian statehood on the grounds
that it would open the door to the
admission of Puerto Rico, the
Virgin islands, Guam, and other
areaa.
He added that it waa possible
that even Canada and countries in
Central and South America might
ask for admittance.
Several House members, in
cluding Reps. Brown (R-Ohio) and
Jennings (K-Tenn), pointed to Farr
ington himself as the anawer to any
hinta that the electorate of Hawaii
might send to Congresa aenatora
and repreaentativea with un-American
idologiea.

Earlier in the program, Quam
spoke on the Oregon Trail fair
and urged all Institutional repre

ters prepare the troops for par
ticipation. The fair, to include
cubs, scouta and explorera, will
allot a 10-foot by 10-foot booth for
display purposes to each troop.
Guy Miller, New York City, aa
sistant director of national camp
ing and activitiea, urged those pre
sent to have their troops partici
pate also in the district scouting
county fair to be held in Eugene
May 5, 6 and 7.
Miller'a main topic for the even
ing waa why boya enter acouting.
He pointed out the importance of

along with a few big district
events during the year to break
up the routine.

Firemen Perform
Variety Of Tasks
Variety ia the spice of life and
thal'a one old adage the Roseburg
fire department will not dispute,
not after the varied calls they re
ceived Sunday.
To start things off, firemen were
called to rescue a cat which was
lodged under the Oak street bridge.
How the feline managed to reach
the center support near the bridge
webbing, firemen were unable to
explain but the cat was soon re
turned to safety.
A second call came from a S.
Stephens street aervice station,
with a report that three motorists
had been overcome by carbon mon
oxide gas. Armed with the fire
department inhalator, firemen rush
ed to the scene ana neipea me
three men recover by walking
them around in the fresh air. Chief
William Milla said the floorboards
in the old model car in which the
men were riding allowed the poison
ous gas to seep in. Had they not
stopped at the station when they
did, Mills said "even the inhalator
would have been of no use."
Rounding cut the day was a flue
fire at 443 Pi tier. Mills reported no
damage.
