Roseburg Health, Safety,
Recreation Needs Told
By Manager Gilchrist
Public health, safety and recreation are three major
problems facing the city of Roseburg, said City Manager W.
jlA. Gilchrist in a talk on city affairs before the Roseburg Ki
wanis club Tuesday noon. These problems should receive ser
ious thought and serious planning for the future, he said.
Health deals with the city's
sewer system. There is much to
be desired in the way of an ade
quate system, he said. Many of
the sewer lines, installed back in
1912, are entirely inadequate for
size and many are broken down
and need to be replaced, he added,
citing examples where this is true
in the city.
The disposal plant also requires
thought. While adequate for pres
ent needs, its capaicty is limited,
he pointed out. There are prob
lems of drainage and mosquito
control. The $165,000 voted by the
citizens for storm sewers cannot
possibly take care of all this prob
lem, but will care for major areas
on Lane and South Main streets,
the North Jackson street section
and a part of West Roseburg.
As for public safety, Gilchrist
pointed out that the fire depart
ment, with addition of the new fire
truck, is in good condition, but
traffic in this city with its short
streets is a major problem, tie
said considerable of his time as
city manager is given over to study
of the traffic situation. .

Texas Heat Wave
Takes 15 Lives,
Cuts Cotton Crop
DALLAS, Tex. (JP) A blis
tering heat wave with a rising
death toll cointnued today without
relief for Texas.
No prospects of rain deepened
the gloom of farmers faced with
withering crops.
City officials in many cities
begged residents to save dwindling
water supplies for fire fighting and
essential home uses. Lawns and
flowers turned brown in tempera
tures that have reached as high as
116 degrees.
The high temperature yesterday
was 109 at Presidio in south Texas.
Dallas reported its 12th heat vic
tim. During the current heat wave,
Houston has had three heat deaths
and six more persons were hospi
talized. Dallas city officials declared a
water emergency and asked an
end to sprinkling of lawns and wa
ter wastage. Police cars patrolled
residential neighborhoods to stop
lawn watering.
Fort Worth residents were asked
to stop night watering of lawns to
allow water reservoirs to refill.
Central Texas farms appeared
hard hit from heat. McLennan
county expects its shortest cotton
crop since 1925, the last record
breaking drouth year.
Harris county, on the coast, re
ported great losses in pasture
lands. Rangeland burned badly in
the Panhandle section.
At a terrace re-building demon
stration near Marshall in east
Texas it was found there was no
moisture in the ground to a depth
of 12 inches.
At Electra, in North Central
Texas where temperatures have
been the highest, farmers said the
extreme heat helped kill cotton in
sects but the plants suffered also.
In Tom Green county of west
Texas the cotton crop loss was esti
mated as high as six million bales.
The situation was the same in
Scurry county.

Fires Battled
In Northwest
Forest Areas .
Flames Rage Furiously
In Olympia Peninsula,
British Columbia Spots -
By The Auociated Press
Scores of fires ate hungrily
through parched Pacific Northwest
forests today as volunteers and
professional smoke chasers by the
hundreds battled to bring them un
der control.
The critical danger spots were
in southern British Columbia near
the international border and west
of Port Angeles, on Washington's
Olympic peninsula.
Three fires covering some 5,000
acres burned furiously near Grand
Forks, B. C, a town of 4,000 where
men flocked from their jobs to the
fire lines.
One blaze threatened the tiny
community of Fife on the Canadian
Pacific railways' Kettle valley
line. About 25 railway workers and
their families live there.
Two fires engulfing 1,200 acres
on Santa Rosa creek cut the trans
provincial highway and jumped
across the border into northeast
ern Washington. More tha n 1,000
loggers, conscriptees and volun
teers were on the lines.
Montana Sends Aid '
Sixteen smoke jumpers from
Missoula, Mont., were flown to
Colville, Wash., for emergency
duty against outbreaks from wind
borne embers in the Colville na
tional forest. Seventy-five other
firefighters worked to contain the
border hopping blaze where it
crossed into the United States 60
miles north of Colville.
Another 3,500 - acre fire near
Christina lake close to Grand
Forks destroyed two small logging
camps and menaced another.
Some 300 men fought to contain
its spread.
Elsewhere in British Columbia,
another 1,500 men were engaged
in battling more than 150 addi
tional small forest fires.
Wind Spre'ds Flames
A stiffening west wind sent a
1,500-acre blaze out of control last
night in the Olympic national lor
est 35 miles west of Port Angeles.
Forest rangers said the flames
were cresting through 75-year-old
second growth timber ana spread
ing toward virgin stands. The fire
is in the Solduc river valley west
of Lake Crescent. Some 250 fire
fighters were on hand there today.
An 80-acre brush fire swept over
80 acres near the Seattle suburbs
of Kenifore and Juanita at the
north end of Lake Washington, forc
ing three families to evacuate
their homes.
In Oregon, a 200-acre fire burned
partly out of control in the Uma
tilla national forest 20 miles east
of the midway point between Pen
dleton and Walla Walla.
A 25-acre blaze was subdued last
night in a logging area 15 miles
northeast of Eugene.
With the Northwest's woods al
most bone dry because of a two
month summer drought, only a
heavy rain could relieve the criti
cal fire danger. None was in sight,

Texas Gambler Noble Killed
In 12th Attempt On His Life
Explosion Blows Victim To Bits,
Wrecks Auto At Mail Box Stop
DALLAS ,Tex. (AP) Police today faced an old
problem of scanty clues, but this time they were looking
for the killer of gambler Herbert Noble not the attempted
slayer.
The' "cat" ran out of luck Tuesday as the twelfth at
tempt on his life a cleverly hidden explosive let loose
with a thunderous roar. ,
The silver-haired, self-syled retired gambler was killed
as he stopped his car at a rural mail box near his fortress
like ranch.
The killer of killers hid in a
scrub oak thicket some 75 yards
away, then touched off a devilishly-hidden
mine.
The blast, underneath Noble's
automobile, left it a crumbled
wreckage and scattered bits of the
,42-year-old gambler's body over a
wide area.
At least twelve times Noble had
escaped death, but not injury, and
this earned him the nickname
"the cat."
He blamed "hired killers" for
the attempts and said there was an
underworld price ol soo.uou on nis
head.
The Kefauver crime committee
heard his experiences from a
Dallas police officer this year and
Noble told a Texas legislative
crime investigating committee of
gambling and gambling feuds
in Dallas.
There were few clues for police
to follow. One was a mysterious
blue pickup truck seen on the dusty
country road leading to his ranch
near Lewisville, ten miles north
west of Dallas.
R. O. Millican, a rural mail car
rier, said he saw the truck parked
by the side of the road a quarter
ot a mile from Noble's mail
box. He passed it about an hour
and a half before the explosion.
Police also sought three men in
Fort Worth.- One- was once ar
rested for assault to murder Noble.
He was never tried.
Wires ran from the hidden mine,
through a concrete culvert, and to
the thicket where the killer .hid.
The explosive was hidden in a spot
that was directly under Noble's
automobile when it stopped at the
mail uva.
it was at least me iourm at
tempt to kill Noble by explosion.
The first killed his wife by mis
take. That was late in 1949 and
was followed by a period of gang
land violence in Dallas.
Mrs. Noble was killed when she

ROSEBURG, ORECON WEDNESDAY,
Some Cadets May
Get Clean Bill
WEST POINT. N. Y. UP) Ex
tenuating circumstances may
clear some of the 80 military acad
emy cadets admitting cribbing,
West Point officials say, but the
exact status of the other 10 cadets
involved still is not clear. ,
Possibility that fewer cadets
would be dismissed than the 90
originally accused of cheating be
came clear as senate investigators
in Washington decided to keep
hands off the case, at least for
the present.
Col. James B. Leer, the acade
my's public information officer,
said that the screening board now
in session might clear some of the
80 admitting cribbing.
It was explained that the screen
ing board might find new explana
tions or extenuating circumstances
that will acquit the cadets, al
though they admitted their guilt
to an original special board that
recommended the dismissals.
For those cadets not admitting
cheating, the denartmcnt of t h o
rmv said in Washington that the
academy superintendent would
have to decide whether they were
to be discharged administratively
or be given courts-martial.

Poet To Ante
$1C0 A Month
LOS ANGELES UP) Here is
a poem that backfired on Dr. M.
Robert Harris in the form of a
$100-a-month separate mainte
nance suit:
"Say it with flowers, say it with
sweets,
"Say it with jewelry, sav it for
keeps ;
"Say it with sable, say it with
mink,
"But never, oh never, say It with,
ink."
In winning her suit. Harris' wife.
Ruth, used the ditty along with 700
love letters he wrote while courting
her from overseas in 1945. The
rhyme was in a letter which stated:
"Of course, I'm violating the GI
code (ditty follows) . . . Darling,
you may keep every letter; hold
this one forever. Each tells you I
love you dearly. Never fear, you'll
have no opportunity to sue me . . ."
Dr. Harris, 32, may nave been
an ardent suitor, the wile con
tended, but he turned out to be a
cold husband who refused to have
children. She laid he deserted her.

Neutrality
Pledge From
Reds Awaited
TOKYO - UP) Red radios re
mained silent tonight on the United
Nations demand for fresh guaran
tees of neutrality at the site of
Korean armistice talks.
Allied negotiators returned to
Korea during the day, ready to re
sume cease-fire talks if and when
Communist commanders pledge
the Kaesong neutral zone will be
Kept inviolable.
But neither the Peiping nor
Pyongyang radios mentioned to
night the new demand of Gen
Matthew B. Ridgway, U. N. com
mander, first broadcast at 1:30
p. m. Tuesday.
Instead 32 hours later the
Chinese Red radio at Peiping fea
tured a report the Red command
ers still were waiting for Ridgway's
reply to a Communist message dis
patched Monday morning.
The Peiping broadcast said the
letter, entrusted to an American
liaison officer, contained assur
ances from North Korean Gen.
Kim II Sung and Gen. Peng Teh
Huai that the Kaesong neutrality
pledge would be observed.
This apparently was the Red
message which Ridgway acknowl
edged Tuesday in his demand for
a new Red pledge they wouil
really keep their word.
In his Tuesday message Ridg
way demanded that the Commu
nists promise not to allow any
more of their armed soldiers to en
ter the neutral area. This zone
extends in a five-mile radius from
the Kaesong site of armistice ne
gotiations. Russia Hits At U. S.
Russia accused the United States
today of stalling on the Korean
cease-fire talks while moving up

The official Soviet news agency

Korean capital, quoting "well-in
formed iournalistic circles."
Tass declared the Insistence of

Heavy Bail Holds Group;
More Arrests Coming,
Director Hoover States
By Tht Auociated Prns
The FBI has snared another
batch of alleged American Com
munists, promises more arrests,
but says there would be "no hys
teria, no mass raids, no roundup
of thousands."
The latest roundup netted five
more Communist leaders in N o w
York, Baltimore and Cleveland. A
sixth person, described by the FBI
as an attorney for the Red party,
was arrested in Baltimore.
All six were charged with plot
ting to advocate violent overthrow
of the U. S. government This same
accusation was levelled against 11
convicted top - run Communist
leaders and 34 more accused lesser
Reds now awaiting trial.
Federal agents currently are
pressing a hunt for four of the
convicted Reds and four of the
other defendants.
Those arrested early today and
Tuesday were:
IN BALTIMORE George A.

uki in me pany s aisirict 4 (Balti

Blumberg, 47, oi Brooklyn, former
treasurer of the party's 4th dis
trict, and Philip Frankfeld, 44,
party organizer in Cleveland, ap
prehended as he boarded a piano
for the Ohio city
The FBI, which announced Bra-
verman's arrest today, pointed out
umi ne nas never publicly ad
mitted affiliation, with the party
but that he allegedly is the official
attorney for the party's Baltimore
headquarters.
More Arrests Coming
Meanwhile, FBI Chief J. Edgar
Hower said in San Diego, Calif.,
that more arrests would follow.
But he warned against hysteria.
Hoover Indicated that the FBI is
now working on third level Com
munists. Tuesday's snare of alleged plot
ters was the fourth since the gov
ernment first invoked the Smith
act against the Communist party
three years ago.
The first group included the 11
who were convicted and sentenced
to prison terms of three to five
Shears. A twelfth defendant, Wil
liam Z. Foster, titular head of the
party, has not been tried, because
oi ill health.
After the U. S. supreme court
upheld these convictions last June,
the government moved against
other Red officials. That same
month 21 "second-stringers" were
indicted in New York, then 12 mora
were accused in Los Angeles in
July.
Heavy Ball Set
Four of the latest six arrested
are held in bail. Frankfcld's bond
was set at $100,000. Bond of S75.000
each was set for Mrs. Blumberg,
Meyers, Wood, and Mrs. Frank
feld. Bail was not immediately set
for Braverman.
The FBI said Frankfeld has
worked for the party in various
parts of the country since 1926. Of
ficials said he spent a year in
Moscow in the early 1930's attend
ing courses at the Lenin school.
Frankfeld was the party's can
didate for U. S. senator from Mas
sachusetts in 1940, the FBI said,
and also worked in Baltimore.
Braverman once was identified
before a congressional committee
as a Communist by an undercover
FBI agent
He has represented a number of
alleged Communists called to tes
tify before the House un-Americ.nn
activities committee and was an
attorney for Frankfeld and Meyers
in a court case involving Mary
land's loyalty oath law.
