Joan fits her new rolt aa the storybook heroine with almost fairytale precision, states the Ore gonian story. The fairy godmother in her case was Mrs. 0. J. Feld kamp of Roseburg, who submitted the winner's picture and a letter commending her character without Joan'i knowledge. Wins Hollywood Trip Of 25 finalists, selected from a field of more than 300 entries, she was chosen to receive the all-expense trip to Hollywood and a $500 wardrobe to go with it. A graduate in 1949 of Roseburg high school, she was yell leader and held many other honors at the school, as well as being head ma jorette of the Roseburg Drum corps. At Oregon State, where she is taking a secretarial course, she was a homecoming princess last fall, is on the freshman rally squad and in the aextet at Snell Hall, and has now been selected as "Girl of the Month." Her grades have averaged above 3.00. Joan is tall, almost five feet eight inches, and a slender 130 Kunds. She has soft curled brown ir and hazel eyes. A student of ballet, her likes are also classical music and horseback riding. Never Visited There Joan has never been to Holly wood, in fact she has just barely been over the state border, in both directions. Part of the treats in store for her will be being met at the airport by a limousine from RKO-Radio pictures, staying at one of Holly wood's famous hotels, trips through RKO and Walt Disney studios, ra dio appearances on NBC network shows and introduction to motion picture stars. Joan's fairy godmother may some day become her fairy god-mother-in-law. Cinderella's Prince Charming is Mrs. Feldkamp's son, Bob. The youngest of a family of seven children, the rest all boys, Joan comes from a deserving family. Her father was injured several years ago, and the family lives on a pension. Joan worked through high school and earned most of her clothes and spending money. She thought college impossible, but an interested couple is helping her obtain her education. Joan works in the co-op on the Oregon State campus and in the concession in the coliseum. The finalists were screened Fri day, in personal interviews and the winner was announced over the KGW Hostess House broadcast. Each of the finalists were enter tained at luncheon in the Multno mah hotel Rose Bowl. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THIS appears to be The Word on flying saucers: 1.

In Washington, the navy says: (a) it has not developed any pancake-shaped jet planes and (b) it is not experimenting with any saucer-shaped missile.

Jack waded into the shallow end of the hole and pulled the unconscious boy out. Then he stretched Wayne out on grass and started resuscitation. "I almost lost my head then," he told a reporter. "I was scared and started crying when I saw his head go down the first time." After he revived in a few min utes. Wayne was taken home by passing motorists. Jack just went home. When a reporter from the Toledo Times called to see him he was out in the back yard hard at work at cowboys and Indians. Southwest's Winter Wheat KANSAS CITY, April t.-t.Vu-The Southwest's winter wheat crop is in doubt. Drouth has it by the throat. Rain I is a "must." If a good soaking j one doesn't come soon it looks i black across the plains known as I the nation's wheal basket. Wheat experts doubt that even an average crop ciuld be harvested if the crop was given every break in the weather from here on in. Wheat farmers as a rule are j generally pessimistic. They lose the crop two or three times a J season on paper before harvest! time but actually it does look I pretty bad this time any way you j take it. Southwest Kansas has had the driest January. February and March on record. In Texas virtu ally no rain has fallen in the Pan handle and the south plains since last fall. In Oklahoma it's dry and the wheat outlook ia poor. Damage Grows Add to this an insect infestation, greenbugs, the brown wheat mites and cutworms. And the damage grows. Wheat on the southwest flaglanda haa deteriorated rapidly ROSEBURG, JOY OF EASTER Great Cathedrals, Village Churches. Hilltops Await Message Of Risen Christ Mr The Aatoclat. Proaa The joy of Easter will be celebrated wherever Christians gather tomorrow, bringing to their heart the ever-hopeful message of the risen Christ. In the great cathedrals of the old world and the new, in village churches and at hilltop services, the devout will kneel once more to mark the miracle of the resurrection. Kidnaped Girl Returned Home; Youth Booked COVINA, Calif., April 8 .PVA 17-year-old high school girl was kidnaped from her boy friend ear ly today by a gunman who drove away with her for a wild ride through he hills in her boy friend's car. Five and one-half hours later ahe was found, scared but safe. A youth found with her was booked on suspicion of kidnaping, robbery and sexual perversion. Sheriff's Sgt. William Wells said the girl. Dulcy Nelson, told him the gunman drove her to a lonely spot in the LaPuente hills 10 miles northeast of here. At gun point, Wells quoted the girl, he forced her to submit to improper relations but she was not raped. Car Gees In Ditch After driving back down from the hills, the detective quoted the girl as saying, the car went into a ditch. Searching officera found the two standing beside the car trying to thumb a ride. Jailed at the San Dimas sher iff's station near here was a youth who gave his name as Vance Smith Jr., 20. of West Covins. Detective H. F. Skouland said Smith was pa roled to his parents last January from Patton State (mental) hospi tal near San Bernardino, Calif. Sgt. Wells said the girl was ab ducted as she sat in a car in front of her home in nearby Bald win park with Donald Orlrich, 16, Covins high school student. She told Wells that Smith stuck a pistol in the car, ordered Oelrich out and then drove away with her. Telia Parents Oelrich ran into the Nelson home and told her mother, Mrs. H. A. Nelson, what had happened. She notified officers. Although every available patrol car in the area was thrown into the search, no trace of the girl was found until she telephoned Oelrich's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Oel rich, that she had been in an acci dent. Officers traced the call and found Smith and Miss Nelson be side the ditched automobile near the house from which the call was made. Neither was injured. Miss Nelson said Smith allowed her to make the call but kept his gun in his pocket pointed at her. She said he had previously warned her not to tell where she was tele phoning from.

HOT FRIDAY PHILADELPHIA, April 8-PV Fire bureau headquarters reported 131 fires yesterday. It was one of the busiest days in the depart - ment s history. in tha last three or four weeks. A winter drouth is the main cause. Most experts concede that only a good rain or two within the next few days can save what ia left of the crop. Dust storms already have whip ped up and whirled out of the Southwest but there still isn't a dust bowl like the one bark in the thirties. The story simply is that there isn't enough moisture now for a decent sort of a crop. Dust storms themselves have caused relatively little damage. They have blown little wheat out but they have dried out the ground. The weather bureau at Topeka saya southwest Kansas has re ceived less moisture the first three months of 1950 than in any previ ous first three months of a year on record. Moisture in that area is less than a third of an inch for the three months. The average is 1 98 inches Dry Over State It has been dry all over the state hut not to that extent. At Garden City. Kaa., County Farm Agent Hoy Etling estimates OREGON SATURDAY, APRIL Millions will observe the occas ion in other ways, too. It will be a day for fine dress, and flowers, and for children's games and Eas ter baskets. Celebrations Underway Celebrations already were In pro gress in ancient Jerusalem, where nearly 20 centuries ago Christ suf fered, died, and rose. Bells thundered out their Easter messages from the basilica of the holy sepulchre, and from doz ens of other churches, as thou sands gathered to pray. The peal of bells came at the climax of a colorful holy fire cere mony of Eastern Orthodox Chris tians symbolizing the rise of Christ from the tomb as the light of the world. Eastern morning Protestant ser vices in St. Andrew's in Jerusalem churchyard were to be broadcast by shortwave to the United States and Canada. More than 100.000 pilgrims thronged the streets of Rome where the climax of the Easter observance will come when Pope Pius XII celebrates a pontifical mass in St. Peter's. Will Give Blessing At its end, from the central Log gia of the basilica. Pope Pius will give his apostolic blessing to the city and the world. In Washington, D. C, where the hopes of millions in the politically divided world are turned. 250.000 visitors are expected for the day. Many were there not only for Eas ter but also for the delayed cherry blossom festival. Police in New York marshaled a force of 6.19 just to handle the Faster parade on fifth avenue always a colorful event. Thousands wearing their most festive attire, traditionally throng the midtown Manhattan area in the vicinity of St. Patrick's cathedral. Resorts throughout the country looked for major business on the weekend. . Hindu-Moslem Peace Boosted NEW DEI.m, India, April 8-UP) India and Pakistan concluded an agreement today aimed at putting an end to bitter strife between Hindus and Moslems in the two countries.

The district attorney's Informs lion, to which Puckett pleaded guil ty, charges him with the theft of four rolls of copper wire, the prop- ! erty of the Douglas Electric fo 1 operative. Crop Threatened By Drouth tha crop now as about 50 percent normal. Andy Erhart, auperintend ent of the Garden City agricultural experimental atation. put it down at 60 percent in hia April 1 re port but added the crop had de teriorated even more since then. There it is the driest winter on record since moisture records were set up in 1907. Erhart says it is problematical how much wheat now looking dead might be saved by plenty of rain. The dry belt extends into east ern Colorado although in some spots in northwest Kansas the wheat outlook looks gWl. In central Kansas around Wichita the wheat prospects are reported as good. There has been very little damage there from dust or wind erosion. A. W. Kriekson. Minneapolis, Minn., crop forecaster, recently said at Liberal, Kas , that unless it rains soon 'in Texas, eastern New Mexico and the Oklahoma Panhandle the remaining 1,590, 000 acres of wheat in that area will not average 7 bushels to the arre.

April 8. (JP Senate investigalora split on a stormy issue today whether FBI records completely clear Owen Lat timore, accused by Senator Mc Carthy of being a Communist spy. Anv ennrlnsion that the records do entirely absolve Lattimore is i unwarranted." said Republican Senator Hickenlooper of Iowa. On the other hand. Democratic Senator Tydings of Maryland de clared he is standing by his state ment that the FBI data put Latti more "completely in the clear." Tydings heads the senate foreign relations subcommittee which is in vestigating the charges brought by McCarthy, Wisconsin Republican, against Lattimore, an American authority on far eastern affairs. Hickenlooper is a mer-ber of the five-man inquiry committee, which two daya ago heard Lattimore call McCarthy's accusationa "base and contemptible lies." When Lattimore concluded his sworn testimony, Tydings told him that four members of the commit tee all but Hickenlooper had been given a complete summary of the FBI's Lattimore file. Hickenlooper was out of town the day FBI Direc tor J. Edgar Hoover and Attorney General J. Howard McGrath pre sented the analysis to the group. Tvdings told Lattimore it was the universal opinion of the committee members who were present, and all others in the room he later named Hoover and McGrath that "there was nothing in that file to show that vou were a Communist or ever had been a Communist, or that you were in shy way connected with any espionage information or charges." Then Tydings added: "So that the FBI puts you com pletely, up to this moment at least, in the clear."

McCarthy'! latest accusations against the trio were considerably milder than those he originally leveled in the Senate, where he his constitutional protection from court action. Lattimore has called on the Wisconsin senator to make the same statements without cloaking himself in senatorial immunity. Speaks Te Marines In a speech prepared for a meet ing of the Marine Corps league, McCarthy said "I invite the in dividuals whose names I shall name to start their libel suits, if a single word I say is not true.' Then he proceeded to charge that: 1. Lattimore "A man commonly known aa the architect of our far eastern policy" is "selling our State department" a program "identical to the planks in the platform of the Communist party." He said this platform "will de liver vast areas of the world to Communist Russia." 2. The Institute of Pacific Rela tions An organization which Jes sup once headed cashed $3,500 in checks "representing Commu nist money,11 and "must be cred ited by the American people aa having . . . originated the myth of the 'democratic' Chinese Com munists." 3.

Under Immunity, McCarthy hai told the Senate he can prove Latti more is a Russian agent and a present or former member of tha Communist party: that Jessup haa unusual affinity for Commu nist causes" and that "the Com munist affiliations of Service are well known." McCarthy repeated none of those charges today. All three men have flatly ana vigorously denied McCarthy'! ac cusations in full. The State department hat denied the charges against Jessup, a top official who holds the rank of ambassador-at-large, and Service, who recently was called h o m e from a consular assignment in India.
