The districts are Green, Tenmile, Lookingg-lass, Rob erts Creek and Dillard. They voted down a proposed con solidation with Roseburg- District 4 in an election last Dec. 14. District Attorney Makes Revisions In Hauling Laws Other types of hauling besides log hauling will come under new county -regulations being prepared by District Attorney Robert Davis. The County Court announced the district attorney is working on the new hauling regulations which would continue the issuance of county permits and would still re quire a five-dollar fee as "admin istrative costs." , , In commenting on the suit for injunction filed Thursday in Cir cuit Court by James E. Laney, 908V4 S. Jackson St., a county spokesman said: "We knew about a month ago that they (the regulations) were in violation. The district attorney has been working on new regu lations and they will be ready in a very short time." Davis said he hopes to have the new rules ready to submit to the court next week. A major change is the inclusion of all types of trucks not just log trucks as provided in the present regulations. In his suit to enjoin the county from enforcing the regulations, La ney contended, among other things, that they discriminate against the loggers. The county took issue with one of Lancy's contentions that the county had no jurisdiction over its roads unless it specifically got permission from th? state. A spokesman contended that the county could put regulations on trucks over 50 feet long or weigh ing more than 20,000 pounds. All logging trucks, he said, are over 50 feet long. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS This dispatch is from the town of Windsor, which surrounds the royal residence that is Windsor Castle. The towers of Windsor cas tle are practically within sight of Buckingham palace on a clear day. After reading the dispatch, I think you will agree that it could have come from NOWHERE IN THE WORLD save England: "Britain said farewell to George VI today in a great outpouring of sorrowful grandeur, and buried him here at Windsor with a hymn of triumphal faith. "Elizabeth II, queen at 25, led the nation's final homage to her father. For 2Va hours she rode in a horse-drawn carriage behind the coffin to the dirge of ten bands, Mule more than a million Britons, (Continued on Page 4) The Weather Partly cloudy with scatttrad showars today, tonight and Sun day.

The bondsman Is John W. Shuler. "In Oregon, it is impossible to sell a bond issue unless if -is an. proved by John W. Shuler," Barne- ourg informed the districts Shuler felt he could not approve more man a 10 per cent bond is sue, Barneburg aaid. Had Figurad Mora At 10 per cent, the maximum remaining bonding caoacitv of the five districts would be $379,369. Of ficials of the districts, in discussing plans for a proposed high school building, had-been figuring on the oasis ot tne 13 per cent capacity. That would make the maximum figure $593,859. Representatives' of the five dis tricts had proposed consolidating and building what would start out as a junior high school with ninth graders attending. Subsequently higher grades would be added at tne rate of one a year until in 1956 the school would be attended by all four, grades. Recently-passed legislation spec ifies that districts operating both elementary and high school may issue bonds to 13 per cent of the assessed valuation, Barneburg said "The question has arisen as to the interpretation of the term 'op erating' in the law," the school superintendent explained. "At the request of the county school of fice, legal counsel has written to bhuler for an opinion." (Continued nn Page 2) Milk Price Increase v Exceeds Minimum Rote PORTLAND HI A 2-cent boost in Grants Pass milk prices ex ceeds the increase called for in a new minimum price order which will be announced soon by the siate Board ot Agriculture. That was the report Fridav of Thomas L. Ohlsen, state milk marketing administrator. He declined to say what the minimum would be, but he said it would be below the 24 cents now charged for milk there. Usually retail prices conform with minimum prices, Ohlsen ex plained. But that is not required. The Board of Agriculture sets only minimum prices which means the cost of milk can rise above a set figure but not below it. Grants Pass distributors an nounced the 2-cent boost Friday. It went into effect Saturday. Pro duccrs now get tYt hundredweight instead of $6.21. Hard Liquor Necessary For German Travelers BERLIN Hard liquor is a "necessity" when travelling on German trains these days, a West Berlin labor court ruled Saturday. The judge upheld a liquor deal er who sued for the right to keep his railroad-station shop open long er hours than others may remain open. Without commenting on the slow ness of the trains, the repeated de lays at Russian-zone border points, the cold and the lack of dining or sleeping facilities, the court mere ly said schnapps is something the traveler should have the chance to buy before he boards bis train. Established 1873 Court's Ruling On Overload Is Annealed Circuit Court Appeal Thought To Constitute Load Law Test Case Initiating what is expected to oe a test case on the new overweight load law. a recent justice court jury convict on on an overload has been appealed to Circuit Court. Transcrint on the appeal was re. ceived in Circuit Court Friday from Justice of Peace Nina Pietzold's court in Canyonville. Everett Haumeser, Dillard log truck operator, had been convicted last Jan. 18 of a 10,3J0-pound over load. He had been cited at a jump scale north of Canyonville. Mrs. Pietzold fined him 3515.50 at the rate of five cents per pound provided for under the new law for overloads in excess of 5,000 pounds. Haumeser has posted bail bond of $515.50, pending the appeal. Teamsters Assist It was understood that local 962. International Brotherhood of Teamsters is helping to finance the case. Daniel Dimick, Roseburg attor ney, is handling Haumeser's case. Haumeser is one of two truck operators convicted of overloads Jan. 17 in Mrs. Pietzold s court. The other was Earl Enyart, Myr tle Creek, who was found guilty by a jury of a 6,300 pound overload. His conviction was not appealed. These were the first iurv trials held on overload cases since the new overweight law went into ef fect last Aug. 2. The measure, passed at the last session of the state legislature, has been opposed by the Teamsters and by the South ern Oregon Truckers League. If th test case is carried through, a Circuit Court conviction uf Haum eser would be appealed to the state Supreme Court where the question of constitutionality would be 'taken up. The appeal from justice court Is expected to go before a Circuit Court jury during the February term of court which begins next Monday, District Attorney Robert Davis said.

Meat Packers Decision Described As Unwise LOS ANGELES 11 The Eco. nomic Stabilization Administrator describes as unwise a decision of the Western States Meat Packers Association to fijc.it for lifting of controls this year. Roger L. Putnam told the Pack ers' convention Friday that such decision "puts the meat industry in a position of not seeming to care what happens to the consuming public in a time of national emer gency. I'm sure the industry has no desire to find itself in such a position." Declaring he is aware of the difficulties of applying price con trols and quotas to the packing industry, he said that if there were ro controls, Kiere would be no way to check inflation. WAY islature could take over the In dians as free citizens of Oregon. The plan also will require fed eral approval. However, E. Mor gan Prysc, Portland, area direc tor of the U.S. Indian Service, said the government is anxious to give all Indians their freedom. Members of the eight-man com mittee will be State Sen. Philip S. Hitchock, Klamath Falls; a rep resentative of the U.S. Indian Serv ice: Harvey Wright, state director of Indian education: an assistant attorney general; Slate Rep. ljcnrr Semon, Klamath Falls; and three LONDON Wl Young Queen Elizabeth II hid lingering grief for ner father behind her home's se cluding walls Saturday before grappling with a host of duties and taking the 'long rest her ad visors are urging upon her. Within Clarence House she rested amid the comforting presence of her handsome young husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, and her two children, 3-ycar-old Crown Prince Charles and bis year-old sister, Princess Anne. Before she takes a holiday to recover from the strains imposed upon her by ttie death of her fa ther, King George VI, and her sud den ascension of the British Throne, she must make the de cisions that only a sovereign can make. Makes Choice One of these decisions comes only to a queen, and never to a King the choice of rank and title for net husband. Palace sources believe he will receive the title ot Prince Consort and be raised in precedence to rank ahead of all in Hie kingdom except the Sovereign. Queen Vic toria, the greaLgreat-grandinoth-er of both Elizabeth and the Duke set the precedent by conferring this title and rank to her husband, Albert. The J)uke now is outranked by his son, who, as eldest son of the Sovereign, became Duke of Cornwall the moment the King died. Elizabeth must also consider plans for her coronation. A likely time for it is early summer, inas much as she decreed mourning only until June 1, in place of the customary nine months to a year. Must Stlect Mtmbtrs She now has to select more than 20 senior members of the staff to run the royal household, and arrange to move into Buckingham Palace, London seat of the Mon arch, from her present residence nearby in Clarence House. - -Duty will keep her in London for several weeks. Then she is ex pected to go to one of the royal estates. Three Jets Lost By Allied Forces In Week's Action SEOUL tfl Allied Sabre jets were out early Saturday over Northwest Korea while the Fifth Air Force was announcing the lightest week of plane losses since "Operation strangle ' began last August. , Off Northeast Korea, Allied War shins began their second year of daily bombardments of Wonsan. Fifth Air Force headquarters said last week's losses were con fined to one Sabre lost in air-to-air combat and two Thunder jets shot down by ground fire. The one Sabre, however, was that of the brilliant jet ace, Maj, George H. Davis Jr., of Lubbock, Tex., who shot down two Red jets the day he went down. The low losses were due partly to bad weather, partly to the re luctance of Red M1G pilots to en gage in combat. Red ground fire was as intense as ever. Along the 155-mile Korean battle front most of the small scale ac tion was nn the East-Central and Eastern fronts where the Reds have shown more signs of activity. Friday scores ot Allied tanks pushed into the no-man's land town of Kumsong, 27 miles north of parallel .18 in East-Central Korea. The Eighth Army communique said 30 bunkers were shot up. But frontline reports said the number was closer to 50, that almost 100 red troops were killed and another 88 wounded. DiSolle Steps Down As Price Stabilizer WASHINGTON M Michael V. DiSalle stepped down Friday as the nation's price stabilizer. Ellis Arnall, former governor of Georgia, took his place. leaders of the tribe. Gov. Douglas McKay, who pre sided at the meeting, said the plan might pave the way for all Oregon Indians to become free citizens. Prysc said the Indians want lo keep their treaty fishing and hunt ing rights, and to keep their res ervation intact. The reservation's business, which includes farming, timber and grazing, could be run as a co-operative by the Indians, he said. The governor aaid the reserva tion is self-kunporting. so that the transfer wouldn't cost the state anything. 40-52 FBI Arrests Ex-Klansmen For Floggings Ten Men Charged With Kidnapping, Beating White Couple WASHINGTON Wl The FBI arrested 10 former North Carolina Klansmcn today on charges of kid naping ana flogging a man and a woman in a furay last October. Both victims were described as white. FBI Chief J. Edear Hoover said the 10-including a deputy sheriff and a mnstable were taken into custody in a widespread raid of farm homes by FBI agents and local police officers. The FBI announcement did not list a motive for the Ku Klux Klan foray, but a bureau spokesman said: "A group of Klansmen apparent ly set themselves up as self-designated moral persuaders." The victims were identified as Miss Dorothy Martin, 27 and Ben Grainger, 40, both of Fair Bluff, N. C, in the central part of the stale. Hoover said the 10 were former members of the Fair Bluff Klav- ern of the hooded society. He said the Klavcrn was disbanded last month. ' Takan From Homes The FBI chief said the two were spirited from their homes Oct. 6, 1951, and taken over the state bor der into South Carolina. The Klans men, he said, were "hooded and robed" and "armed." Miss Martin and Grainger were blindfolded when they were taken over the state line. Hoover said. Once in South Carolina, the an nouncement went on: "The victims were driven Into a remote area, on a side road, and at site of the flogging were re moved from the car in which they had been transported. "Grainger was made to lean over a front fender of the automobile aiid was flossed ,with a wide lea ther strap until the blood ran. Miss Martin was flogged in the same fashion, each blow knocking her to the ground. "She was then put back in the car, but when she made a remark not relished by the raiders was dragged from the car and again flogged," Hoover said the arrests followed an FBI investigation of reports that floggings and other abuses of whites and negroes were perpetra ted by hooded Klansmen of the area.

W The 23-year-old wife of a coal miner here does her own dental surgery with a sterilized safety razor blade. pullt her own lectn wun an out pair of forceps and says It "doesn't hurt as much" as a visit to a den tist. , Mrs. Pful Napier, who has pulled 13 of her own teeth and has 11 left to go, got into business after a dentist had extracted two teeth. Abscesses developed, so she ster ilized a safety riizor blade, lanced the gums, probed and worked on Ue bits of bone she said were causing the trouble. sThe surgery healed poperly, but aches developed in other teeth so she decided they all must go. She resurrected an old pair of forceps her grandfather owned "teeth pli ers," she called them and went to work. "The eye teeth were the worst," Mrs. Napier said. It took two days of tugging w'aencver she cuuld stand it to get one of them out. Her technique improved with ex ncrience. however, and on her best day she removed five. Seven up pers and four lowers remain. Diplomat To Moscow Warned About Conduct WASHINGTON Wl Career Dip lomat Georse F. Kennan has re ceived a pointed Communist warn- ine that he had better bo careful when he goes to Moscow as the new American ambassador. Kennan. an aulhority on Soviet affairs, was nominated early last week by President Truman.

Two Red Sattilitet Receive Acceptance As Inspection Units By WILLIAM JORDEN MUNSAN, Korea Wl The U.N. Command Saturday vetoed Com munist nomination of Soviet Rus sia as a neutral nation to help po lice a Korean armistice. The U.N. accepted two Soviet satellites Poland and Czecho slovakia as the other Red rep resentatives on neutral bebind-the lines inspection teams. An Allied staff officer said the reason for rejection of Russia should be obvious. He did not elaborate. But the Russians have supplied Commu n.st armies in Korea with fighter planes, tanks and other war ma terials, and Russian officers trained the North Korean army before the outbreak of war. R.dt R.vit. Proposal The action came in a staff offi cer meeting after a full dress ses sion by top negotiators in which the Reds offered a revised nronns. al for a top level Korean peace conference. The Red draft made no mention of non-Korean problems But it was worded in such a way that almost anything could be Includ ed. The Allies turned down part of the original Red plan which called for settlement of sweeping Asian problems. The new Red proposal said only that a "higher level" political con ference should be held within three months after a truce is signed to discuss withdrawal of foreign troops and "the peaceful settlement of the Korean problem," etc." Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, senior Allied negotiator said "etc. could mean's lot of things ... I will I not interpret anything until I have nad a chance to study it." North Korean Gen. Nam II said the new draft was submitted to prevent "continued haggling." Joy asked for an adjournment until 10 a.m. Sunday (5 p.m. PST. Saturday) to study the new pro posal.
