2 The Newi-Review, Roicburg, Ore. Thur. Jan. 7, 1954 Six Persons Sentenced By Busy Circuit Judge (Continued from Page One) to the nrobation and parole officer. He, as the others, was warned that probation will be revoked if he gets into trouble again. Judge Wimbcrly admonished the boys, telling thorn they were "flirting with the penitentiary" by committing the burglary. Ho also pointed out that they might have been shot by officers while com mitting the crime, "There are too many of these 17, 18 and 19-5'ear-olds getting into trouble and committing fel onies," the judge said, "and I don't like it."' All three of the youths promised they would make an effort to stay' out of further trouble. The mother of one of them had some anxious moments between the time the judge said "three ypars in the penitentiary" and "probation." She wept with quiet relief when the judge said he would grant pro bation. The boys arc three of seven youths charged with the store bur glary, in which about $100 in change and cigarettes wore taken. Three, aged 16, are under the jur isdiction of the juvenile court. The other one, Ralph Gutierrez, 26, is out on bond. Check Writer, 17, Sentenced To Year A 17-ycar-old Roseburg youth was given a one-year probationary sentence to the state penitentiary in circuit court Wednesday when he pleaded guilty , before Judge Carl E. Wimberly to a charge of forecrv. Tho youth entered a plea of guilty to an information filed by Dep. Dist Atty. Warren Woodruff, after waiving his right to a grand jury hearing. The boy, who was a student at Roseburg High School until a short time ago, was charged spe cifically with forging a $4 check and passing it on Dec. 16. i953. Two other checks, for $3.25 and $10.50, were also passed, testi mony revealed. The $4 check bore his mother's name. The boy's stepfather filed a com plaint against him for allegedly using a car without permission. The complaint, later dismissed, in directly led to the boy's arrest here. His mother lives in Salem but he was attending srho.M here. The judge cautioned the youth: "If you don't walk the chalk, you'll be up in Salem where your mother is, but you'll be out on the edge of State Street (the peniten tiary)." The boy said h would make the checks good and abide by the rules of his probation. He had no previous record. Bad Checks Bring One Year To Two Two men charged with obtain ing money under false pretenses . received one - year probationary iserrtenccs in circuit ourt Wednes day after they pleaded guilty be fore Judge Carl K. Wimberly. The two are Harold Van Keuran, 32, Suthcrlin, and Laurence C. Day, 40, recently of Salem and Hood River. Each have three chil dren, and neither had previous felony rocords. Both were arraigned on infor mations by Dep. Dist. Atly. Warren Woodruff. The men waiv ed the right of attorney, grand jury hearings and delays in enter ing picas aim oemg aenicnccti. Van Keuran was returned here by a deputy sheriff atler his arrest Doc. 17 at l.as Vegas, Nev. At that time, hail of $2000 was ot by Suthcrlin Justice ot the Peace Ward Watson. Van Keuran was charged spe cifically with passing a worthless check at the SuUicrhn City Drive In Market on Sept. 19. 1953. He promised to make good the SMI ob tained, and abide by the conditions of his probation in' order to avoid going to the penitentiary.

Day said Kirby was a school chum, and that he (Day) should have made an effort, before now. to make the check good He said Jio know it would bounce at the time he passed It during a short trip to this area. Congress To Receive Hydro, Water Proposals (Continued from Tage one) by the Atomic Energy Commis sion on the GK-Hanford proposal, the AKC would need favorable as surances from Ihe While House and from Congress, where the Joint Atomic Kiicrgy Committee holds light rein on all develop ments in this field. The Northwest's only represent ative on this committee now is Sen. Guy Cordon iH-Ore ). Be cause the senator has been out of the country a good share of the time since the GK proposal w;i announced at Richland last fall, he has not had a chance to study its implications. It is considered a f.iir forecast that unless Cordon be comes one of its backers, there is Jittlc chance the llanfonl project will see fruition suon. Further developmcnls await pol icy recommendations by ihe ad ministration. But in this period of wait-and-see on atomic power, there is a dan ger that opponents ot government hydro development will insist on a wait-ami-see attitude toward Ihe "partnership" plan, or any ether scheme for river projects. on grounds that atomic power may make power dams obsolete, mon uments to a bygone era. This is not the picture presented by authorities In the power field, ' who foresee the atom crowding sleam-generaled power in terms of cost factor but remaining high er in cost than water power. But should this sort of rgu- I Truck Rate Hike Gets ICC Backing WASHINGTON W An Inter state Commerce Commission ex aminer has recommended a reduc tion of interstate truck rates in some Pacific Northwest areas. In a report to the ICC, Exam iner Samuel Horwich said Wednes day that in an answer to com plaints from some shipping inter ests a 15 per cent increase placed In effect in Montana, Wyoming and Colorado in 1952 should be reduced to 12 per cent to match rates in effect in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Horwich explained the truckers put a general 6 per cent increase in effect throughout the area in 1952. But to maintain relationships between interstate and intrastate rates, Washington, Oregon and Id aho added six per cent and Mon tana, Wyoming and Colorado 9 per cent. He said the Montana-Wyoming-Colorado rates should be cut to achieve a balance. Automobile, School Bus Crash; No One Injured A car driven by Mrs. Lloyd Smith of Myrtle Creek skidded into a school bus this morning on Highway 99 south of Myrtle Creek, but no one was injured, reports News-Review Correspondent Ruth M. Evans. The bus. driven by Ray Norton Jr., had stopped on the highway to pick up students for the Myrtle Creek schools.

The bus was not damaged, but it was estimated Mrs. Smith's ear suffered $250 damage. City police are investigating.

I Forces Add New Look,! Eisenhower Reveals (Continued from Page One) duction of troop strength, which is expected to bring the Army down from a present manpower level of about 1 million to a force of about 1,128,000 by the summer of 1955. The build-up in air power is ex pected to include expanding the Air Force to a strength of 116 1-3 wings during the year, to 127 wings two years hence and later to an eventual goal of 137 wings. Present strength of the Air Force is 110 wings, of which about 105 are at full effectiveness. 3. "Our armed forces must re pain maximum mobility of action. Our strategic reserves must be centrally placed and readily em ployable to meet sudden aggres sion against ourselves and out Al iics." Shown In Withdrawal Eisenhower had presented this idea in announcing Dec. 26 that two Army divisions are to be with drawn from the forces on the truce line in Korea. He said in that an nouncement the two divisions would be returned to the United States. In the same announcement, he emphasized the highly mobile feature of the armed forces. 4. "fay alone will not retain in the career service of our armed forces the necessary numbers of long-term oersonnel. I strongly urge, therefore, a more generou use of other benefits important to service morale. Among these arc adequate living quarters and fam ily housing units, and medical care for dependents." 5. Abilitv to "convert swiftly from partial to all-out mobiliza tion" of war goods production is imperative. "For the first time, mobilization officials know what the requirements are for 1,000 ma jor ilefns needed for military use" and thus the country "is at least to have an up-to-date mobilization base." . -Continint Strengthened 6. Continental defense measures "must and are being strength ened." In the next fiscal year the government will spend nearly a billion dollars more than in the present year. Eisenhower announced that "we shall maintain indefinitely our bases in Okinawa." Segments of the Japanese press have been urg ing recently that Okinawa be re turned to Japan. The big island, south of Japan and off the Communist-controlled Asian mainland, can provide the United States wirh a powerful forward bastion when eventually it gives up its bases!
