    t The Newi-Reiew, Roseburg,
Liberty Bell To
Be Exhibited In
Weekend Parade
The Oregon Liberty Bell, and 52
others now touring other states and
U.S. possessions, represents the
cooperation of a good many Ameri
can firms, according to George W.
Mimnaugh, state director of the
Liberty Savings Bonds drive.
The bell, replica of the Liberty
Bell in PhiladelDhia. will be on
display in Roseburg this weekend.
Its second visit was timed to co
incide with the rodeo. The bell will
enter into the weekend's festivi
ties as part of the parade Satur
day. The bell will arrive Friday
night and leave Monday.
The group of bells was donated
by six of America's copper companies:-
Kennecott Copper com
pany. Phelps-Dodge Corp., Ameri
can Smelting & Refining company,
American Metal company, Ltd., .Mi
ami Copper company and the Ana
conda Copper Mining company.
Other companies which provided
materials and labor for the under
taking were the Kord Motor Co.,
Standard Oil Company of New Jer
sey, American Bridge company and
the Rudie Wilhclm Warehouse Co.,
Inc., Portland, which furnished Or
egon's driver, Lucas r. weuer.
The bells were cast outside this
country because no firm in the
U.S. was able to fill the contract.
A foundry at Annecy, France, a
small city near the Swiss bor
der, called enough of its craftsmen
back to work to undertake the job,
at a cost of $120,000. Not only are
S3 bells the exact size of the origi
nal Liberty Bell, but they have ap
proximately the tone as heard in
Philadelphia that July day in 1776
when liberty wasa proclaimed
throughout the land.
The bell display heralds the sav
ings bonds drive now underway.
It will be taken to Corvallis after
the Roseburg appearance.

Woman Winner
In Maine Primary
For Congress Job
PORTLAND, Me., June 20 CP)
To her own pleasant surprise Miss
Lucia M. Cormier, 38, is a Demo
cratic congressional nominee to
day. The plump, attractive Rumford
book store owner won the standout
victory in yesterday's Maine pri
maries. Her opponent was Kansas
born Dr. Adrian H. Scoltcn of Port
land. Miss Cormier's victory margin
was better than two to one. She is
the Democratic national commit
tecwoman. A newcomer to politics,
she said happily:
"Five years ago if anyone had
told me I would ever run for Con
gress I'd have quickly told them
they were crazy ..."
Dr. Scolten commented that
"parhaps Miss Cormier is the sec
ond Margaret Chase Smith she as
pires to be and perhaps Maine
does prefer women as their rep
resentatives in Washington . . . "
Maine Senator Smith served
eight years in the House before
defeating Scolten for the Senate
in 1948.
Rep. Robert Hale (R) will be
Miss Cormier's September elec
tion foe. He was nominated for
a fiflh lerm with a four-to-one
margin over Ray W. Stetson. Both
are Portlanders.
Earl S. Grant, president of a
Portland business college, will con
test Republican Governor Fred
erick G. Payne's reelection. Grant
had a margin of almost two to one
over Leland B. Currier of Litch
field, former Demobratic state
senator.
Payne was unopposed as were
Republican representatives Charles
P. Nelson and Frank Fellows, and
John V. Keenan, Mars Hill Demo
crat, who will compete with Fel
lows in the third district.
Nelson's election opponent will
be John J. Maloney Jr., 38, of
Lewiston, who won a three-way
Democratic fight in the second con
gressional district.
Maine Democrats haven t sent
candidate to Congress since Ihev
filled two of the state's three House
seats in 1934.

Chief Of Police
Ousted For Visits
To Mayor's Wife
CLEVELAND, June 20-.P
Highland Heights' 58-year-old po
lice chief, who described himself
as "an errand boy for a bunch of
women," won't have to run those
errands any more. He was fired
today by the village council for
"consorting" with the mayor'a
wife.
Solons of the suburban village
of nearly 500 voted the dismissal
6-2 after listening 5-i hours to the
case of Fay & Faye.
Fay Dalrymple, the chief, was
accused by Mayor Clem (Bud)
Ley, 40, of consorting with Ley's
wife, Faye, 39.
Ley testified he suspended the
chief May 9 when he found him
with Faye in the kitchen of the
mayor's home. In the six weeks
since then, the villagers have been
choosing up sides. About 200 of
them attended the hearing last
night.
But the chief said hjs visits to
the Ley home, "maybe lour or five
a week," were either on official
business or errands for the village
women.
In ousting the chief, council de
cided he was guilty of "malfeas
ance and misfeasance of duty,
in .that he parked the police car
at the mayor s house while ne
"consorted" with the mayor's wife
and by thus using the car on vil
lage time deprived the village resi
dents of proper law protection.
Ley said he was unable to pro
duce any evidence of actual "il
licit relations" between his wife
and the chief.
Things Looked Funny
But, he declared, it "looked
funny" that the police car was
reported in his driveway every
morning after he went to work at
a downtown auto body shop he
operates.
Mrs. Ley said she left the mayor
May 9 and went to live with a
sister after he accused her of "not
acting like a wife" when he found
the chief in his home.
Ley's charges against the chief
were first aired in a cross peti
tion to his wife's divorce suit. The
Leys have three children aged 18,
16 and 10.
Chief Dalrymple said his trips
to the mayor's home often con
cerned building inspection, one of
his other village duties. He said
Mrs. Ley kept his records of
building permits and other official
matters.
Other times, he claimed, he con
ferred with her on such commun
ity functions as a fireman's
dance, Red Cross drive, and vari
ous women's club activities.
"We had a lot in common,"
Dalrymple admitted of his rela
tions with Mrs. Ley. "But what
the mayor said about us is a big
surprise to me."
