2 The News-Review, Roseburg, Negroes Stay Away From Milford School (Continued from Pagt One) entidpates that they will go to the all-Negro high school at Dover, 18 miles away, next week. i The board's statement did not say whether segregation was per manent, or only effective for the period until the U. S. Supreme Court hands down its decision on how Integration shall be carried out. The president of the Delaware chapter of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple, Wagner P. Jackson, denounc ed the action as a "shameful, de grading spectacle of our duly con stitued authority ignominously sur rendering to the illegal actions of a lawless mob. He said "we have already begun planning our next legal action." He declined to elab orate. The victory by the pro-segregationists can be attributed to one thing: boycott oy wnue pupus oi the school in which the Negroes were enrolled.

Wayne Morse took time out to speak to representatives of the press and radio Thursday after noon in his room at the Umpqua Hotel. He had some comments to make concernine Sen. Joseph Mc Carthy, Adlai Stevenson, Sen. Guy Cordon and Interior Sec. Douglas McKay in the course ot eonversa tion. The junior senator from Oregon said he believed the senate would censure the Wisconsin senator when it reconvened Nov. 8. Mc Carthy, Morse continued, was one reason he left the Republican party in 1952. "I said then that McCarthy would come home to roost on the doorstep of (President) Eisenhow er, and he has." "The fact of the matter is," Sen. Morse said, "that the senior senator (from Oregon) has been running wiui uie McCarthy Pack." He backed his statement with "Sen. Cordon has been olavine both sides of the street in the Mc Carthy matter., but domiciline himself primarily on the McCarthy side." "Only recently." he continued. "has the senior senator stated to make mumblings he might be per suaded over to vote against Mc Carthy." Morse charged that the people of Oregon have had the right to nave Sen. Cordon speak ing out in defense of sound investi gations. Morse said Cordon hadn't. "Where has the senior senator been all the time?" he said. "My position has been known from the beginning." Along other political lines, the senator said he was making his tour throughout the country, on be half of Democratic candidates,, at the request of the candidates and the Democratic National Commit tee. "I'm paying my own way," he added. The Roseburg visitor said he thought Adlai Stevenson would beat President Eisenhower by a bigger majority than the President had beaten him in 1952, If the two were pitted against one another in 1958. As for 1958. Sen. Morse added he would welcome Douglas Mc Kay as an opponent in 1956. "And welcome the oooortunitv to de feat him." Sen. Morse was accomoanled hv his legislative assistant Merton Bernstein. The men are travelling by ear. They have been in Oregon since Sept. 24. Friday at 10 a.m. they were in Portland to appear on television. HE CAN'T WIN NOW CORVALLIS OB - Paul X.

Batchelor s counsel pleaded that th youth was temporarily insane by reason of brain-washing at the times he collaborated with the Reds. Testimony by civilian psy chiatrists and depostions from civ ilian sources backed up that con tention. But Army psychiatrists who Questioned him soon after his repatriation and during his eight months confinement here at tori San Houston testified Batchelor was sane and "knew right from wrong." Some prisoners on whom he was accused of informing testified against Batchelor, Some fellow prisoners, whoever, said the youth's efforts resulted in better conditions in the prison stockades.

(Mater Photo Studio picture) Elsworth Gives Answer To Give-Away Claim (Continued from Page One) not patents to the claims should be issued. "I wanted simple jus tice done," he said. "In this case it was simple justice that the mine people be given a decision." (The decision allowed the patents on 23 claims.) Ellsworth continued that "hun- dreds perhaps, thousands of mines all mines located nn fed erally owned lands since 1879 ob tained title to their prooerties in exactly the same way." H said the liberal features of filing and patenting Drovisions were to "give incentive to discov - erV." Ellsworth denied emphatica" that the "deal" was a successful effort by the company to get valu able timber lands for $5 per acre (the cost per aee for patent rights). "The implication. Y .is ab solutely false." he said. He pointed out that the Bu reau of Mines bulletin stales that as early as 1930. more than $30,000 in minerals (gold, silver, lead and zinc) had been mined In the "oue claims. "During World War IT. the mine was operated on a fairly large scale." he added. "At one time, it had the largest number of employes of any industry in the county. The record shows, Ellsworth said, that a minimum of $225,000 had been spent in working the mine. The timber itself could have been used in working the - mine whether patent was issued or not. Ellsworth said. Filing a mining claim gives that right, he added. As a matter of fact, he continued, the companv will reauire more timber than is on the land lo carrv on the operation. He called the Al Serena mine a "legitimate and rather extensive mining property." As to the value of the timber on the property. Pearson said it was worth $170,000. Ellsworth said a Forest Service appraisal set value at $77,000. This is the present value. Ellsworth said, at a con siderably expanded rate from the time the claim was filed in 1888. Timber at that time held consider able less value. The 454 acres in Question are lo cated about 14 miles from Trail. The claim had been filed in 1898 by the father of the present own ers. Ellsworth said an estimated 190 million tons of ore exists on the claim. The mine has not been worked extensively since the war because of the uncertainty of the owners that Ihev would be able to, get their patent ownership. Sen. Cordon said at Coos Bay Thursday night that if there had been . any improper transfer of property in Rogue River National Forest it was a fault of the law and not of the people administer ing the law.

FHA BANK TERMS NO DOWN PAYMENT Lansing-Oliver OPEN SUNDAY. to e 847 S. Stephens Eisenhower Gives Investigation Plan Approval DENVER I President Eisen hower has given his blessing to a new investigation program to un cover and prevent any non-crim inal misconduct or improprieties on the part of federal employes in broad relation to their jobs. And the White House says any one who characterizes the pro gram as a "snooping, Gestapo-like set-up" aimed at prying into the strictly private life of government workers is "completely wrong.' Murray Snyder, i presidential ! press secretary, last Innnnxul ITicnhyMirar'a night nounced Eisenhower's approval of the program rrmrtedly prompted in part by the Federal Housing Ad ministration scandals and said its objectives are: 1. To detect and prevent "loose practices by federal employes." 2. To achieve "better adminis tration" in the executive branch Snyder's statement confirmed a published report about creation of the program. But he declared the report was "completely wrong" ia saying officials of some federal agencies have criticized it as a "snooping, Gestapo-like . aetup. He also said there was no basis for a further report that the Civil service commission and other agencies charged with investiga tive work have complained that the new order conflicts with their programs. The order, Snyder said, was worked out in cooperation with ine Commission and other such agen cies, and supplements rather than conflicts with their investigations. The press secretary said the pro gram was ordered into effect bv Budget Director Rowland Hughes in a letter last June 14 to the heads of about 40 federal departments and agencies. He said the program deals onlv with improper activities of gov ernment workers "short of crim inal acts." which continue to be handled W the Justice Depart ment. He said it has nothine to do. either, with the separate program for handling security risks among federal employes. Negro Demonstrations Spread To Five Schools BALTIMORE.

Tom Drake, an Army sur veyor; Frank Water, Los Angeles attorney; Bill Reddick, a Baker fireman and relative of Herbert; and Vivian Kennedy, Baker farm er. Poulson told this story of the find: Herbert was with his father pros pecting for gold years ago in the Wallowas north of , Cornucopia, when they dug up bLack and yel low rock that proved to be neither gold nor coal. Herbert remembered this in World War II when, then a colonel in the Pentagon, he noticed that the description of pitchblende, a uranium-bearing ore, matched the rock he and his father encoun tered. Herbert came to Oregon and with Kennedy went to the old mine shaft. Down in the shaft their Geiger counter clicked wildly for a while, then stopped. Discouraged, Herbert gave up the idea that uranium was there until he learn ed recently that a wildly clicking Geiger counter will stop when it reaches a saturation point. He told Poulson, and the uranium-hunting group was formed. The Los Angeles men flew up Monday in a private plane, carry ing their equipment in boxes and announcing they were on a hunt ing trip. This aroused local curios ity, since the hunting season does not open until Saturday. The group drove as close as they could to the old mine shaft, and then hiked the final 10 miles. The group planned to Dy back to Los Angeles Friday. Graveside Services Observed For Veteran Graveside service for Raymond G.
