Shooting Youth On Plan
Declared Justifiable
CLEVELAND Ifl ,- Th fatal
shooting of a 15-year-old boy who
tried to commandeer a crowded
transport plane was ruled justifi
able Thursday by Chief Police
Prosecutor Bernard G. Conway.
His verdict followed questioning
by detectives of Capt. William F.
Bonncll, the American Airlines pi
lot who shot the youth, Raymond
A. Kuchcnmcisler Jr., Tuesday.
Waving a pistol, the boy pushed
into the plane being prepared for
a takeoff here and ordered Bun
nell to "fly to Mexico or gut shot."
The flight, which started in New
York, was about to take off for
St. 1-ouis and Fort Worth, Tex.
It had 53 passengers aboard.
Bunnell said he whipped out his
own gun and fired, trying to avoid
shooting toward the passengers or
the plane's gasoline tanks.
He hit the 260-pound boy in the
hip and chest, and the lad died
an hour later in a hospital.

Col. Bob Dicey, director of Rose
burg Civil Defense, is pu. Jg lae
final touches on the seco.. . direc
tive in the history of the organ
ization. In a 15-page defense plan, the
retired Army colonel has br. ,.it
togeuier outlines and stigges..oui
from local Civil Defense personnel.
The directive wul serve as a
basis for operation in the event of
disaster anything from war to an
earthquake. Data was furnished
by deputy directors and others.
Recently, Col. Dicey sent out a
few copies of the first draft of the
directive, asking for corrections or
additions. In an accompanying let
ter, Dicey shows he's realsiic
about Civil Defense.
He says the "plan draft is lo
be retained by you (key person
nel) as a basis for operation in
the event that disaster should
strike before an approved and
signed copy is in your hands."
Both Dicey and Brig. Gen. J. T.
Pierce, county director, have
maintained that this area will be
ready for any emergency. Tiie
new directive Is one of the things
being done to make sure.
Besides general instructions on
how to operate in an emergency,
the directive contains separate sec
tions for individual deputies.
Col. Dicey ure.es key personnel
. to read all the directive. He points
70-Pound Salmon
Caught- In Sound
SEATTLE 1) A record 70
pound king salmon, said to be the
largest ever caught by a sports
fisherman in Washington waters,
was boated in Puget Sound Tues
day by a woman.
The mighty king was hooked oy
Mrs. Howard E. Little, 31, Seattle,
off Hope Island near the mouth
of the Skagit River at 8 a. m. and
hauled in after a half-hour strug
gle. It took the combined efforts
of Mrs. Little and her husband to
gaff the huge salmon. .
No official records are kept by
the State Fisheries Department on
the largest salmon taken by sports
fishermen, but Enos Bradner, out
door editor of the Times, said the
previous record for Washington was
a 69 Vi pound king caught in the
Columbia River nearly two years
ago.
Bradner said tbe biggest pre
vious fish ever boated in Puget
Sound was 66 pounds, a mark
which was equalled last weekend
by Moore McKinley of Seattle off
Hope Island.
Both Mrs. Little and McKinley
used No. 6 Canadian wonder
spoons. .

out, "The extreme need for coord
ination in disaster makes it im-!
perative that all concerned read
and study this plan at once. There
will be no time to do so after
disaster strikes."
Among the various instructions
which Dicey feels are of extreme
importance is one dealing with
food supplies.
In case of emergency, it is ex
plained, people should keep a
three-day food supply on hand, but
no more. In disaster, even if it
be only an influx of refugees from
stricken areas, tood sales may be
frozen. In such event, sales will
be resumed within three days. The
public must not be panicked into
overstocking, the directive states.
Many other del ailed instruc
tions are Included ii the plan of
operation. Anyone desiring io
read a copy of the directive may

GROWS BIG Douglas County residents Can boast that
evert "Indian corn" grows big in Douglas County. Tom
Ward, on old (80) "sourdough" could attest to that. He
shows a specimen picked up on his property at Melrose.
iThe seven-foot -stalk usually is much shorter. Ward is
now a farmer at Melrose, but he likes to recall the "old
days" when he used to pack into the Yukon and Dawson
City. That was in 1899. (Paul Jenkins picture).

attending are asked to bring sandwiches.

manding that all funds be deposit
ed in escrow (in this case witk
the Douglas County State Bank),
until enough money has been gath
ered to drill to a certain depth
(In this case lt will be enough to
drill to a depth of 3,500 feet).
President Sullivan was ob ious
ly optimistic about the possibil
ity of discovering oil. He said,
"Prior to last month, I . wasn't
nearly as optimistic as I am now."
He went on to tell why.
He read a letter from Ed Fisk,
the geologist who sat at the Coles
Valley well site which never came
in. Fisk agreed that Childs had
picked a "very good well site."
He went on to say in the letter
to Sullivan, "It is the most log
ical first location in the area."
Geologist Childs exuberantly
took over to make some glowing
predictions.
He said he had picked the site
to drill for natural gas. He said
a utility would pay 50 cents per
thousand cubic feet for the gas,
and even the smallest reservoir
would bring in 10 million cubic
feet per day. Pushing the point
farther, he said, "1 think we will
have a good wet gas and I don't
think it will be very deep."
He continued his report on what
he called "a legitimate gamble"
by stating that 10 of 15 geologists
he has brought into the area agree
the site is good. He said the picture
looked bright because an oil seep
age had been discovered at the
southwest corner of the Looking-glass-Melrose
block and IVi miles
away, a gas seepage had been
found. In addition, he said, simi
lar layers to those found In the
Coles Valley well are found 2,400
teet nigner on trie sunace at the
Melrose site. He added in passing
that 62 per cent of the world's oil
is found in the type of beds the
company will be drilling in.
Childs said enough money was
being gathered to drill two holes,
but I personally don t believe we
will have to move," he added.
He pointed out be would be
spearheading the drive for funds
and asked his fellow members in
the enterprise for help. "The com
munity will subscrib you all the
money you need, because it is for
the good of the community," he
said.
He made a highly prospective
projection into the future in the
event the "wildcat" operation is
successful. He said, "If you can
get this (oil and gas) out, in five
years, Roseburg wiil have 90,000
people. It will mean new busi
ness and a completely independent
new economy."
Harking back to the present,
Childs reported another bit of new
information. He said the two com
panies have leased 100,000 acres
from five miles west of Roseburg
to the Pacific Ocean. This, he said.
is to put the companies in a more
; favorable position to dicker with
big oil companies in case oil is
