All residents of Douglas County
are invited to participate in the
annual two-day Spring Flower
Show, sponsored by the Roseburg
Woman's Club, to be held April
4-5 in the new clubhouse on W.
Mosher Street.
According to a report by one of
the leading committee members
in charge of the program, the
show should be a pleasure partic
ularly to non-gardeners, a stimu
lation to sluggish gardeners and
an inspiration to active gardeners.
The exhibitor is being advised to
strive to raise his standard of qual
ity, to develop his skill in growing
flowers and increase his esthetic
appreciation of flowers and their
use.
To accomplish all of these objec
tives, definite standards must be
met and maintained. A worthwhile
show will develop an appreciation
of well-grown flowers, an interest
in a greater variety of flowers and
the ability to arrange and use
flowers properly and artistically.
The purpose of sponsoring the
hows is to have people enjoy the

Campus Chaotic
In Rival Raids
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Wl Spring
came bustin' out all over fne usu
ally staid University of Michigan
campus Thursday night.
It took a near-riotous form.
Bands of youths raided women's
dormitories and the women raided
back.
Assessing the damages Friday,
university authorities found some
broken windows and smashed
doors. They blamed a spontaneous
outbreak of spring fever: At its
peak an estimateU 2,500 students
were involved.
The fun started with bands of
men students invading the women's
dorms, scattering underdosing
about. The women formed counter
raids and city police were called.
A force of 10 officers responded
but by that time the mob had split
up into smaller groups which
climbed on dormitory roofs, threw
mud at fraternity and sorority
houses and rocked the cars of po
lice who tried to restore order.
The seven hours of revelry sim
mered down around 1:30 a.m. w'.ien
spirits were dampened by a light
drizzle and a fire hose was turned
on the last band of marauders by
residents of one of the women's
dormitories.

OREGON FRIDAY, MARCH
In Jail Here
2 Women Prisoners
Also Admit Car Theft,
Violation Of Paroles
Two women on parole from the
California Women's prison at Te
hachapi one of them convicted of
killing her husband are held in
the Douglas county jail in $2,500
bail each.
State police identified them as
Jean Benham, 30, Paradise, Calif.,
and Shirley Marie Clark, 32, Rock
away Beach, Calif.
Both waived preliminary hear
ing in district court Thursday on
charges of obtaining money by
false pretenses.
Their arrest here Wednesday by
a state patrolman ended a trip
from Paradise, officers disclosed
today.
During a trip from the California
town, they admittedly passed
worthless checks at Yreka, Calif.,
Medford and Roseburg, state pa
trolman Joe Haystead reported.
Wanted In California
Both are wanted by California
authorities on charges of parole
violation, auto theft, theft of per
sonal property and obtaining mo
ney by false pretenses, Haystead
advised. They are also wanted, he
said, by the FBI on a charge of
interstate transportation of a stol
en motor vehicle and by Jackson
County on a charge of obtaining
money by false pretenses.
Tean Benham :d been paroled
from tht California women's pris
on last Feb. 19. She had been com
mitted Dec. 15, 1949 on a 15-year
manslaughter sentence for killing
her husband with a butcher knife,
Haystead explained. He added
that Shirley Clark had been con
victed on a grand theft charge in
1942 and was committed to prison
later for violation of probation.
Car Theft Admitted
. Both women were apprehended
at Wilbur after one had passed a
$10 bad check to pay for a night's
lodging at Rose-Etta Lodge.
After prolonged questioning, by
officers, the women admitted the
theft of a Paradise man's car and
assumption of his deceased wife's
identity. One of them used the
dead woman's name as an alias in
passing the checks, police said.
They told officers they were
headed for Seattle. City police in
Yreka arrested them after one of
the checks had been passed, but
allowed them to continue after res
titution for the amount of the check.

Armed with three air rifles, the
boys reportedly shot holes through
windows, shot out a window in a
door, broke inside and tried to rip
open a door to the ammunition
room and tried to break off the
hings of another door, officers
sain.
The club house is off the Riddle

Agtd Cimtllii Still Blooms
There is a very old camellia,
brought to this county by Fendel
Sutherlin about 50 years ago from
Japan and planted in Sutherlin Val
ley. This tree was moved to the
garden of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin
Haines in Kellogg. The bush,
an unnamed seedling, is believed
t be one of the oldest in Oregon.
The 12-foot tree still blooms pro
fusely over a long period and pro
duces tiny buds, which open into
delicately shaded flowers rather
similar in form and color to the
camellia, "Princess 'Nngaskic."
Blooms from the bush will be fea
tured at the Woman's Club Flow
er Show. This camellia bush is
something of a floral attraction in
I its home area.

N.W. Truckers
Win Rates Hike
WASHINGTON 11 The Inter
state Commerce Commission
Thursday approved the full six per
cent rate increase sought by Pa
cific Northwest motor freight car
riers. Tho Increase, matching a rate
hike approved for Western rail
roads last year, was authorized for
some 250 trucking companies
belonging to the Pacific Inland Tar
iff Bureau and operationg in Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana,
California and Utah. It is effective

In .granting the full six per cent
rate boost, the ICC overruled an
examiner who had recommended
four per cent and the Office of
Price Stabilization which had asked
the commission to hold any in
crease to not more than two per
cent.
The ICC said the carriers had
proved their case for a six per
cent advance on the basis of in
creased costs for labor and ma
terials in the past year.

Companies' Approval
Still Required To Put
Down Threat Of Strike
WASHINGTON Elated CIO
Steelworkers early Friday accept
ed a government pay boost propos
al ana canceled a weekend strike
threat, but a new walkout dan-
gcr loomed on April 8 if the steel
industry turns down the recom
mendations. Philip Murray's union jubilant
ly approved a Wage Stabilization
Board plan for settling the steel
labor dispute which has been go
ing on since last November.
Voted by public and labor mem
ber over stiff industry objections,
it calls for a three-installment pay
boost that will eventually total
17 Vt cents an hour, plus other con
cessions including the union shop.
These concessions, in dollars and
cents, were estimated variously
might eventually mean 2Vj cents
an hour.
The board said they would
amount to 5 cents; industry spokes
man guessed 12 Vi and said they
might eventually mean 2 Vi cents
an hour extra.
Complicated S.ttl.m.nt
The complicated settlement in
cludes union benefits in geographi
cal and shift differentials and in
holiday and vacation pay.
The Steelworkers would gain
roughly 10 per cent In their basic
hourly earnings under the WSB
formula.
The union had asked for 18 W
cent hourly pay boosts with other
concessions estimated to bring the
overall increased costs to around
35 cents an hour.
Steel companies gave no Imme
diate reaction to the WSB plan,
promising to do so later Friday.
But WSB's industry members earli
er denounced the proposal in 1
blistering statement as unfair and
inflationary.
Fr.sh Parley Aik.d
Murray, announcing his rourtn
delay in strike plans, called for
renewed negotiations starting Mon
day with steel companies here and
at Pittsburgh.
The chief or both the cio ana
the million-member Steelworkers
Union said if no settlement with
steel firms is reached by April
, the unions will give 9 hours no
tice and strike April 8.
Thus if the industry refuses to
go along with the WSB recommen
dations an eventual strike appears
inevitable. The steel firms have
claimed all along they could grant
no Wage boosts unless they were
accompanied by compensating
price increases.
Russia Stresses
Germ War Myth
