2 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Wed., July, 5, 1950 iT-.- Dl. A I... Spell Pleasing Umpqua River Kluxer Freed In Murder Raid Case PELL CITY, Ala., July S-tJPy-Claurie Luker, 52-year-old furnit'iri dealer, was acquited Friday of a murder charge stemming from a night-rider's raid. A circuit court jury cleared Lu ker, identified as KuKlux klans man, after hearing a prosecution plea to let the people know that night riding mobs have not taken over in St. Clair county." Luker had been accused of being a member of an unmasked mob that called Charlie Hurst, 38, from hi home the night of Feb. 22 and shot him down when he resisted. What the mob wanted with Hurst has not been made known. Earlier Charlie Carlisle, 24, a textile worker, was convicted of manslaughter in the killing and sentenced to five years. Carlisle, a Ku Klux Klansman, appealed the verdict upon Luker's acquittal and was freed under $3,000 bond. Trials of three other men in dicted in the case are expected to be heard this fall. Luker denied from the stand that he was a member of the band that shot down Hurst. He said he was at the home of a brother at the time. Luker said he let Roy Healh use his car that night. Heath a Klansman, shot himself to death four days after the raid. He told his family feared the Klan would trv to put all of the blame for the killing on him. TRAINS FOR RESERVES FORT LEWIS, Wash.

Jackson St. Phone 939 NewsToGame Department Game department biologists in the Umpqua river study were elated this week by two tag reports received from anglers. One fisherman reported capture of a rainbow trout bearing lag number 9563. The fish was taken near Clay creek. Records show it was planted June 13, 1948 at Red man Creek, approximately 20 miles upstream. As the only Umpqua tagged specimen known to have been caught the second year fol lowing release, it indicates a much grater carry-over from hatchery plantings than heretofore known with certainty, reports Ross New comb, biologist. Another report concerns a large rainbow trout bearing tag numher 1029 .taken at Cleveland rapids. Planting records show that this particular specimen was released experimentally by dropping a dis tance of 35 feet at a point ap proximately 30 miles upstream on the date of July 19, 1949. Other reports Urged More and more records of this type are coming to the attention of the Umpqua fisheries field agents of the game department, Newcomb says, some reports are extremely belatd but ar still va lid and vital. "It is hoped," said Newcomb," that anyone who has caught a tag ged fish will report whatever facts are available concerning such fish, if a report has not already been furnished. A complete account of the time and location of release of each tagged fish reported will be provided those who report their capture of tagged specimens. Even if tags or tag numbers have been lost, fragmentary data can be ut ilized to some degree." Reports should be furnished the Oregon Game commission, P. O. Box 451, Roseburg, or telephoned to Ross Newcomb, phone 767.

Summer ateelhead migration this season has been the highest since 1946. Newcomb says. The count to date is 792 as compared with 325 last year, 700 in 1948. 646 in 1947 and 843 in 1946. Trout movement numbers 337 this year as compared with 16 last year and from 69 to 82 in pre vious years. Newcomb believes, he said, that the increase of the past two years indicates upstream migration of fish planted below the counting station. Release Wives From Jobs, Plea Of Oregon Yets Salem. (rP) A resolution asking Oregon employers to re lease married women from Jobs and hire veterans in their place was passed by the state Veterans of Foreign Wars convention here. The resolution noted that manv married women are still holding jobs which they acquired during the war while the men were in the military services. It stated that 9,000 veterans are unemployed in Oregon at the present time. An amendment to the resolu tion said that the request for re placement did not apply when the married woman was aiding a vet eran or was the sole support of herself or a family. Other resolutions adopted by the VFW delegates advocated legisla tion to allot a share of the state's pari-mutuel take to veter ans rehibimation as administered by veterans organizations, gave full support to the government in the Korean crisis, rejected Com munism in any form In the United States, bypassed world government in lavor ot the principles of the United Nations, and asked stricter laws governing sex crimes. tarlicr adopted resolutions on- posed transfer of the home loan guarantee division from the Vet erans administration; oppose Hoo ver Commission plan on veterans preference; oppose transfer of med ical and hospital service from the VA; establish policies of VFW in Oregon, establish VFW auxiliary day on Mothers' day; ask Con gress to establish uniform marri age and divorce laws; and urge elimination of the word "veteran" from news stories dealing with crime.

Exemptions On War Duty Recall Listed By Army Washington, VP) Army and air force veterans who were discharged after the last war and who didn t sign up for the re serves then cannot be recalled to service on the ground that the war emergency has never ended officially. In general, that was the reply of army and air force spokesmen to these two questions being rais ed by veterans: 1. In case of a presidential call up of reservists, what would be the status of former officers who did not sign up for the reserve commissions after their war ser vice? 2. Could a discharged GI be called back to service on the grounds that the draft law which was in effect during the war ob ligated him to serve for the dur ation and six months? , The air force said any air of ficer who was separated from the service, without signing up for a new reserve commission, could not be recalled. In case the country should find itself in a new emer gency, a spokesman said, the air force would review the rolls of former officers and offer, new com missions to those it wanted. Those offered new commissions would not have to accept them, however. The spokesman added that dis charge certificates protect enlist ed air veterans of the war against being recalled. An army representative said for mer army officers, who were "dis charged from their commission" and wno did not sign up for new reserve commissions, could not be called back However, some who were placed on inactive duty, ra ther than being discharged, could be. Wartime GI's who were discharg ed couldn't be called back under the wartime draft law. In. the navy, reserve officers' commissions are for an indefini'e period. Most naval reserve officers were placed on inactive duty after the war. They are still in the re serve and subject to being recall ed to duty. A few have been dis charged or have resigned, how ever. Former navy enlisted men, 'if they did not enlist again following discharge during mobilization, have the same status as any other civilians. Re-Curb Ordinance Cited To Property Owners City Inspector Charles Boniols reminds property owners of a new city ordinance requiring them to re-curb driveways not now in use. City ordinance 1171, passed by the council June 20, stipulates that all public and private driveways not now being used and which do not open to a doorway or entrance way must be re-curbed within 90 days after June 20. Cost of the re-curbing is to be borne by the property owner. The ordinance also requires that all driveways which do not have curb cuts must be changed over within the same time limit. According to the ordinance, the building department will regulate widths which may apply to alley widths which may apply to all types of driveways. Fees set up by the ordinance are $1.25 for each ten foot width or fraction thereof. Curb cut applications are now be ing accepted, Boniols said. unemployed those without Jobt and looking for work. The bureau said the unemploy ment increase was "considerably imatler thn the expected1 season change" and was due entirely to t flood of school age youngsters en tering the job market.

Track Fishing Gear Ban By Voters Upheld In Supreme Court SALEM.July 5 (JP A voter-approved ban on use of fishing gear in the Columbia river or its trib utaries was declared valid Friday by the state supreme court. The measure had been approved by the voters in the November 1948 election, but two suits had been brought to block enforce ment of the measure. The auits, filed by fixed gear and drag net operators, asserted the law was discriminatory in that it exempted Indian fishermen. Justice Arthur Hay, in writing the ruling, stated that the Indians were operating under an early treaty with the federal government over which the state courts have no jurisdiction. The opinion reversed an earlier decision by Marion county Circuit Court Judge George K. Duncan.
