City Council Asks Public
Opinion For Guidance On
Question Of Rent Control

That question it up to the city council to answer, and the
important issue will be on the agenda at next Monday's meet.
ing, July 17.
. The proposal that the coucil
take action to lift controls was in
terjected into the last meeting,
but a decision was deferred until
adequate publicity could be given
the matter, ind until the exact
wording of the new law affecting
the lifting of controls could be de
termined. Some of the, councilmen at the
lrit meeting expressed themselves
, as favorable to lifting the restric
i tion. They held the law was a war
time measure and no longer should
apply. Mayor Albert G. Flegel said
he was definitely opposed to lift
ing the restriction at this time. He
said he believed controls should
remain on at least for a while
longer. At a meeting last winter when
' the proposal was discussed, a con
siderable number of townspeople
were present, and voiced objec
tions to lifting controls. Several
landlords were also present and
spoke in favor of ending controls,
saying they were being discrim
inated against.
Next Monday's meeting will be
open to the public, and persons
for or against the issue are in
vited by the council to express
their opinions.
Another matter coming before
the council will be the special
street naming committee's report,
approved by the planning commis-
sion and adopted by the council. ! .)Zw Ttn y h

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Our lost battalion finds its way
and FIGHTS ITS WAY home. That
is good news.
One reason it is good news is
that it means the Korean woods
aren't as full of Commies as the
dispatches sometimes sound like.
. A battalion is a small military
unit maybe 400, 5O0, 600 men (mil
itary units vary in size according
to conditions.) It was lost "in the

A division is a relatively big mili
tary unit. The news dispatches
have been guessing the Korean di
visions at somewhere from 6,000
men up.
Putting two and two together,
you can see for yourself that when
say 500 men are lost "in the midst"
of say 6,000 men and yet make
their way home not too badly bat

ly destroyed by fire about 7 p.m.
last night
The Blakelys were at the home
of a neighbor for a short time
when the fire broke out The falm

to stop the fire was futile. The
house was consumed within about
20 minutes from the time the fire
was discovered.
The Blakely 's cocker spaniel,

to coax the dog through the flames
before the framwork collapsed.
The home and practically the en
tire furnishings clothing and per
sonal effects were destroyed. The
loss was partially covered by in

The cause of the fire was not
known, but it was thought to have
been caused by defective wiring.

Built about 1880. the Blakelv
home stood as an old landmark
in the area. It was located about
three miles west of Glide on the
North Umpqua highway.
It was a large home, consisting
of two stories and about 12 rooms.
It was constructed by the pioneer
Blakely family. R. T. Blakely lived
at Glide, but his son and family
had made their home there the last
12 years.
It was recalled that the home
was an overnight stopping place
for North Umpqua residents on

Last Of 9 Negroes
In Scottsboro
Case Liberated
DETROIT, July 13 (P) The
last of the nine Negro defendants
in the Scottsboro (Ala.) rape case
of two decades ago will be given
his freedom today.
The government decided to ask
dismissal of fugitive charge against
Hayward Patterson, 38. A hear
ing on the charge was scheduled
before U. S. district Juge Arthur
F. Lederle.
Assistant U. S. District Attor
ney James S. Sotesz said Alabama
authorities told him they would
drop proceedings against Patter
son in view of Gov. G. Mennen
Williams's refusal to allow extra
dition. The FBI had picked up Patter
son here on a charge of fleeing
Alabama to avoid imprisonment.
Gov. Williams, inrefusing extra
dition yesterday, said "all of the
others involved in the Scottsboro
case were released from prison
some years ago." he added "I ran
see no justifiable reason for re
turning Patterson to prison."
Patterson and eight other Ne
groes were arrested aboard a
freight train at Paint Rock, Ala.,
in 1931 on charges of raping
two white women. One woman la
ter repudiated her story. The Unit

Ex-Convict
G. Macomber
Shot In Groin
Medford Battle Slightly
Wounds Officer; Woman
Aide Of Prisoner Held
MEDFORD, July 13 -P) A
blazing gun battle in a dark alley
wounded a state patrolman and
put a long-sought ex-convict in a
hospital under guard here early
today.
The patrolman, Dick Korner, had
only a superficial wound and was
treated and released from the hos
pital. The ex-convict, Gerald Macomb
er, 27, was reported in non-critical
condition with a wound in the
groin.
Jailed without charge was Mrs.
Wilma Nichols, about 40, into
whose home Macomber had crawl
ed when wounded.
The gun battle that brought the
hunt to an end was the third in
which Macomber had figured since
early Saturday.
Police fired at him as he leaped
from a stolen Palomino horse at
Bates park, five miles south of
Lebanon, early Saturday morning
and fled into the brush. A massed
bunt was made for him then.
Macomber at that time wanted
only for questioning in connection
with a series of ourglaries and
safe-crackings in the Albany area
made good his escape in the tim
bered Cascade foothills.
Escapes First Valley
At 1:40 a.m. today Medford ciy
patrolmen Jack Hunton and Milo
Gust noticed a car parked near
the west city limits. They radioed
headquarters for information on it,
then drove up and talked to a man
standing near it. As they talked,
the - radio reported the car was
stolen and was driven by Macomb
er. Macomber, hearing the report,
shoved a pistol in Gust's ribs. Hun
ton jumped out of the car and
Macomber moved off, the two re
ported. The three exchanged shots
in the darkness but none took ef
fect and Macomber headed for
some vacant lots.
A radio call brought out all avail
able city, county and state police.
Acting on a tip. four policemen
went to Mrs. Nichols' home. Her
son, Ted, is in the Linn county
jail at Albany, charged with the
burglaries on which Macomber
was wanted for questioning.
Korner, soon to be wounded, and
sheriff's deputy Kenneth King stood
at the rear of the house and short
ly spotted Macomber coming up
the alley. Korner and Macomber
exchanged shots and each was hit.
Woman's Lie Fails
Macomber crawled into the house
and state police Lieut. Paul Morgan
arrived to take charge. He went
to the front door, armed with a
sub-machine gun as city patrol
man Howard Phillips held a light
on the door. '
In answer to Morgan's demand,
Mrs. Nichols opened the door. Mor
gan said she told him Macomber
was not there. He went in anyway
and found Macomber standing near
the kitchen.
A .32 caliber automatic pistol
was found in the bathroom.
Macomber's 12 - year criminal
record includes two sentences to
the Oregon penitentiary, one sen
tence in the Nevada penitentiary,
and a term in the Oregon State
training school at Woodburn.
He first was arrested in Tilla

Goldy told the group there are
regulations and procedures to fol
low in dealing with recreational
uses of access roads, "despite ru
mors to the contrary." According
to the new regulations, "adequate
measures ' must be taKen to pro-
vitle assurance against fire, theft
and otner conditions. These roads
may then be used for recreational
purposes, but not until the logging
operator effected has given his
approval. The regulations further
stipulate the operator may not ex
hibit any "unreasonable withhold
ing ' of this approval, suDject lo
the Bureau's ruling.
Referring to possible disputes
which may arise from the newly
revised regulations, Goldy said the
Bureau reserves the right to de
termine the amount of allowable
cut on any given piece of O it C
land.
Reciprocal Swap Offered
He also referred to the problem
known to Bureau workers as the
"other area problem." He said this
has reference to operators who re
fuse to grant rights-of-way in one
area and at the same time attempt
to gain rights-of-way in another.
"We intend to give the opera
tors what they need from us if
they'll give us what we need from
them," Goldy said. j
The proposed Umpqua drainage
basin economic survey instituted
by the Roseburg Chamber of Com
merce also came in tor consider
able discussion when the Bureau
spokesman said his agency was
one of several planning to aid in
studying the possibility of provid
ing economic stability by full uti
lization of existing resources.
Cutting Balance Rated Tops
Referring to the survey primar
ily is terms of lumber and forest
products. Goldy said, "Douglas
county now has the best balance
of any area in the United States
between the cut and raw material
not a perfect balance, but the
best balance."
Goldy said the proposed sur
vey will be a pilot study of com
munity opportunities for industrial
expansion, utilization of existing
raw materials and the possibility
of secondary manufacture.
"Such refinements as providing
more byproducts of primary for'
est products processing will pro
vide a better margin to each op
erator involved," he declared.
"These refinements also offer more
man-years of labor and a more
stable, year-round payroll, t h u i
cushioning the area against dras
tic boom and bust periods."
County Judge D. N. Busenbark
was re-elcted chairman of the ad
visory board and Harold Woolley
of Woolley Logging company, Drain
was retained as vice-chairman.

Ouster Power
Voted Eleven
U.S. Agencies
House-Passed Bill, Now
In Senate, Provides For
Firing 'Risky' Employes
WASHINGTON, July 13 OP)
A bill giving 11 government agency
heads the power to fire outright
any employes they consider risky
to U. S. security was handed over
to the Senate today following top
heavy approval in the House.
By a vote of 327 to 14, the House
late yesterday enthusiastically en
dorsed the proposal. It means
that employes deemed to be bad
security risks could be booted out
without appeal.
About 800,000 federal employes in
the agencies are affected.
While some House members rais
ed the cry of "dictatorship," an
overwhelming majority shouted
approval of giving most government
chiefs "absolute discretion to fire
civilian employees they consider
dangerous to the national security,
The authority would apply to
heads of the State. Treasury, Com
merce, Justice and Defense de
partments; the army, navy, air
force, Atomic Energy commission,
the National security nesources
board and the National Advisory
committee for aeronautics.
Their determination of a bad se
curity risk would be "conclusive
and final," and the only review oi
a case would be by the agency
head himself or someone desig
nated by him.
The door was left open for ex
tension of the powers to other
agency heads by empowering the
President to designate such ad
ditional agencies he deems nec
essary. The House beat down three at
tempts to provide appeals proce
dure to protect employes from
unjust or arbitrary firing. A roll
call vote of 193 to 144 turned down
a move to provide for employee
appeal to the civil service com
mission. Rep. Jensen (R-Iowa) termed
the bill a move "to clean a bunch
of nogoods out of the government,"
while Rep. Chelf (D-Ky) declared
the security powers should be
granted or "we're going to find
a lot of so-called pansies giving
away our information."
Opponents contended that in ad
dition to creating a series of de
partment dictatorships throughout
the government and violating the
principle of permitting appeals, the
proposal also would destroy the
civil service commission.

iWell-placed officials today report

Excise Tax Slash
Bill Sidetracked
WASHINGTON, July 13 -UP)
The Korean war, with its growing
costs, has ditched the $1,010,000,000
excise tax slashing bill.
On the advice from the Whit
House that "it would not be pru
dent in the light of development
in Korea" to cut any taxes now,
the senate finance committee put
the bill aside, postponing action
indefinitely.
Many in Congress expect that
the treasury department will ask
for higher taxes, rather than low
er, if the Korean situation does
not improve. However, it was said
at the Treasury that no decisions
on such a request have been made.
Technically, if the situation im
proves swiftly, the tax cut bill
can be taken up later. Few, if any,
lawmakers now hold any hope for
action this year, however.
It looks as though the excises,
many of them imposed in world
war II, will stay at least until
the Korean war is over.
Second Vote Slated On
School District Budget
Residents of W 1 n s t o n-Dillard
school District 116 will vote Tues

budget, drafted by the board to re
place the special budget voted
down recently.
The only change in the budget
which is over and above the
amount allowed by the county r u
ral school board and outside the
six percent limitation, is the elin
ination of a $9,000 building fund
item, and placing of this amount
in the general fund for operation

If the revised budget carries, the
