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.

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.

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.
The VFW endorsed Charles C.
Ralls, Seattle, as national com
mander-in-chief. Ralls is present
senior vice-commander.

Poland Closes Down On
Jehovah's Witnesses
LONDON,-M The Polish News
agency says Poland has decided
to close down all activities of Je
hovah's Witnesses, a religious sect.
The arrest of more than so mem
bers of the sect on spy charges
was announced in Warsaw. A semi
official Warsaw newspaper said the
suspects were "closely linked with
American intelligence services."
They were charged also with "di
versionist" activities.
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.

The bureau said the unemploy

imatler thn the expected1 season
change" and was due entirely to t

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.
