Warfield Very Personable;
Blazer Traiil For Success
By LAURA OLSON
Staff Wrlftr, News-Review
Genial William Warfield would
warm the heart of any l'stener.
At 35 he has blazed a trail of
success throughout a good portion
of the world with his oaritone
voice and personable behavior. He
remains the "next door neighbor"
anyone would enjoy having over
to watch television.
If It's a late television movie,
the host would be unable to budge
him. until the picture ended. "I
can take television or leave it,"
he said Monday afternoon at the
Hotel Umpqua. Unless, that is. he
becomes embroiled in the . late
show.
He admits to another "bad", hab
it: Gin rummy playing (and us
ually losing) with his accompanist
and vocal coach Dr. Otto Herz.
Warfield is married to tne girl
wno played opposite him in "Por-
gy and Bess." The girl (Hess) is
soprano Leontyne Price. Miss Price
made musical mstory nerseu Jan.
23, 1955, when she appeared in the
first uncut version of rosea
televised nationally over NBC. She
was the first Negro to appear in
the role. Warfield is rather proud
ox nis wue. . ..
They have appeared together in
joint recital. They do not plan to
continue sucn appearances oeyona
next year. "We want to give
each other t chance to spread our
wings and keep our individualism.
the baritone said. They will sing
together in Kansas City later this
month. The musical coupie ' was
married in August of 1952. Later
tney went overseas wttn ' Porgy

snwln opera in Vienna ana Berlin;
gave "extra-curricular concerts"
In Europe.

World War I
Veterans To Form
New Organization
Veterans of the First World War
are invited to attend a meeting at
8 o'clock tonight at the dining hall
in the Roseburg Armory, where
preliminary plans will be made for
organization of a Douglas county
Barracks of World War I Veterans.
Ralph J. (Red) Baldwin, state
adjutant and organizer, reports
that he has contacted a number
of eligible veterans and finds con
siderable local interest in the com
paratively new organization. World
War I Veterans, Baldwin explains,
was created to work for hospital,
compensation and pension hene-
flts. Only veterans of the First"!
worm war are eligible for mem
beshlp. .
Local units, known as Barracks,
have been formed In 23 Oregon
communities, with a total menv
bcrship in excess of 2,500, Bald
win reports, and 12 more are in
process of organization.
Although the national onianiza-
Won was started only three years
ago, more man w.vw veterans
now hold memberships, Baldwin
states.
It is planned, the organizer ?ys,
to set trp a temporary sroun of of
ficers at tonight's meeting. This
will be followed by a membership
campaign and creation of a Bar
racks at Roseburg to serve all of
Douglas county.
City Officials To Talk
At Planning Meeting
City Manager George Farrell
and City Engineer John Looslev
tonight will outline needed sewer
works in a meeting f the' city
planning commission in the City
Hall at 7:30 o'clock.
The basis of their discussions
will come from the year-old report
on a sewer survey made by the
Corvallis Firm of Cornell, How
land, Hayes and Mcrryficld, con
sulting engineers. The firm was
hired to do the survey on order of
the City .Council about th months
ago.
Included in the report ire rec
ommended financing plans.
Woman Says Car Struck;
Other Driver Didn't Stop
Betty Zacher, 15 Almond St..
complained to city police Monday
that her car, parked in the 100
block of West Washington Street,
had been struck by another car.
Driver of the second automobllo
drove off without leaving his name.
Side of the Zacher car was dam
his. He points out that his appear
ance at the Met was outside the
scope of realism when no started
his vocal studies.' "The gesture
has been made now," he says, in
reference to Miss Marian Ander
son's recent Metropolitan triumph,
"I certainly would be pleased to
appear there sometime in some
thing I would like to do," he add
ed. That something is the title
role In "Boris Godunoff."
One of WiUiam Garfield's
staunchest supporters is his ac
companist. Herz says the matter
of a Negro singing at the Met
is not the question anyway. "The
only important matter Is whether
a singer is good or not good for
the part, he adds.
The Hungarian professor, teach
er and skilled pianist has appeared
more than 3,000 times n concert
with famed musical personalities.
They include Zino Francescatti,
the late Grace Moore and Igor
Gorln. Dr. Herz has coached War
field for seven years, been his ac
companist during the past five con
cert seasons.
His friend Warfield has a rule
particularly pleasing to the press.
He will talk to them on concert
days. "Some singers say ihe voice
should ne rested, Warfield ob
served, "I disagree."
The Roseburg concert was one
of three the team presented in
Oregon this concert year.
Baritone Singer
Highly Impresses
Local Audience
'' By LEROY INMAN
One ot the outstanding concert
artists to visit Roseburg wss Wil
liam Warfield, baritone, who thor
oughly impressed more than 1,000
persons who filled the Central Jun
ior High auditorium Monday night.
The singing star of stage and
screen gave an outstanding per-
lormance ranging irom tne im
mortal classics of Mozart. Han
del, Mendelssohn and Brahms,
through American lolk songs and
negro spirituals; then touched off
the finale with what mist ot the
audience had hoped he would
sing, an encore rendition of Jer
ome Kern's "01" Man River "
Warfield was exceptionally high
in the audience's praise In his
presentation ot, Handel's "Hear
Me, Ye Winds and Waves," from
"Sclpio."
His German numbers were well
done, with especial reaction given
his singing of Locwe'a "Hochzclt
lied (Wedding Song)."
While his singing of the classics
was very well done, Warfield was
definitely closer to his audence in
the second half of his program,
which included such folk songs as
"Stcwball," "Colorado Train,"
and "What You Gonna Do When
the Meat Gives Out."
His last group of selections in
cluded the most famous of negro
spirituals, concluding with 1 A Wit
ness." The audience repeatedly called
the singer back for curtain calls
and at the conclusion" he chose
two selections from the evjr popu
lar "Porgy And Bess," including
"I Ain't Got Nothin'," and "It
ain't Necessarily So," and another
song, "No, No John," in which he
played his own accompaniment.
"OP Man River." wiurh won
him such high acclaim in the mov
ie "Show Boat," thrilled the audi
ence, as he had thrilled millions
in the movie production.
But not to be overshadowed was
Warfield's accompanist, Otto
Herz. Herz didn't just play the
piano, he gave the sinaina num
bers a certain added lift that dem
onstrated his own musicnnshlp of
lung experience ana BDilliy.

Small Lumber Operators
Appeal For - Regulations

vould'be barred, and large op
.valors would be able to buy on a
i ' -3le non-competitive bid.
Now, he claimed, regulations al
' long-term rights-of-way agree
3Dts between private owners and
government for access on a
i-year basis. He claimed this is
i::essary in the success of a jus-ta'ned-yield
program,
"Juchanan charged the chairman
of the Interior survey team, Floyd
irt, an associate of Timber
' rueturees. Inc., Medford, with
"less than enthusiastic about
the philosophy of the present , road
Tie ssid he didn't believe Mc
Kay "realized the full implies
"ins" of an order by the secre
tary a year ago to adopt the rec
ommendations.
The Sutherlin man claimed the
three-man team brought no statis
tical proof into Us conclusions. The
recommendations, Driefiy, woiuo
restore former bureau policy of
granting short-term limited area
rights-of-way, he said.
Buchanan quoted the survey
team's report to McKay:
". . .easements appear to be
expeditiously and satisfactorily
processed in all areas except Ore
gon. . .In the Oregon California
Railroad lands, an opposite situa
tion exists."
"The Sutherlin operator counter
ed In his statement:
"Prior to 1948. there was hard
ly a watershed on which the full
allowable cut was being harvested
There are 67 administrative units
under BLM management. Today,
sufficient access has heen oo
talncH to 49 of them to permit
harvesting of the full allowable
cut.
"In 14 units, access to a portion
of the mature timber is still lack
ing, but there is sufficient access
to permit harvesting of the allow
able cut for several more years.
In only four units does the gov
ernment lack sufficient access tc
harvest the full allowable cut.
Proof that competitive bidding
has increased, said Buchanan, are
contained in figures:
nrln the fiscal vear 1947.
m-lnr in h nresent regulations,
28 per cent of the tracts offered
for sale received no bid, 52 per
iwnf hurl nnlv one non-competitive
bid and on only 20 per cent of the
tracts was there more than one
bid. The average price received
on timber sold was only 22 per
cent above the appraised price."
The situation now, under pres
ent regulations, according to Bu
chanan, who said he obtained fig
ures from BLM: "For the last
half of 1954 and January 1955, all
the timber offered was sold, only
17 per cent received a single non
competitive bid, while 83 per cent
of the sale were comptitlve and
the average price received was
63 per cent above the appraised
PrHe" continued that the 18 OiC
counties' share of receipts from
timber sales has jumped from
three to four million dollars prior
to 1948 to 15 to 16 million last year.
"Operating under a system of
enlightened free enterprise," Bu
chanan declared, "the spur of com
petition has promoted utilization
unheard of prior to 1948. Compe
tition has brought hardboard, pulp,
pulp chips and secondary refine
ment of wood products beyond any
reasonable expectations that were
held in 1948."
At the same time, he asserted,
a small minority of tne larger
timber-owning operators has re
sisted entering" into reoiprocal
right-of-way agreements with the
government and "have never ceas
cd trying to return conditions back
to where they were prior to 1948."
He charged: "rnese new pro
posals are just their latest at
tempt to stifle open competition
for O Ic C timber in those water
sheds where they are the domin
ant private owners."
The County Court, in the mean,
time, has the request of the group
under advisement.
County Judge Carl C. Hill said
he thought the best way to present
the argument would be to the exec
utive committee of the Assn, ot
O&C Counties.
Buchanan, who said each of the
18 O&C county courts are hearing
the plaint of the group, argued
that wider attention could be
brought to the matter If each ot
the county courts would act indi
vidually. He claimed Fank Sever. Port
land, attorney for the Assn. of O&C
Counties, acted against the inter
ests of the counties as a mem
ber of the State BLM Advisory
Board when the board accepted the
survey team's report,
But Judge Hill countered that
Sever has acted only lu the coun
ties and probably wasn't aware ol
any stand. If any, taken by the
counties on the question.

Numerous Problems During
Monday Night's Session
The Roseburg City Council ran
through a raft of minor business
Monday night besides more than
a full share of major items (see
page 1). It took councilman just
three hours 35 minutes to wade
through its agenda while a cham
berful of citizens watched.
What started out to be the first
reading of an ordinance to change
zoning from residential 2 to busi
ness at the west root ot the uak
Street Bridge turned Into a half
hour discussion on setDack oossi
bilities.
The long argument began over
a simple clerical error in tho or
dinance which put an emergency
clause into the proposed regula
tion. Acting city Atty, James
Richmond asked the council if it
wished to suspend rules on pass
age to get the ordinance out of
the way in one night.
Attorney for petitioners living in
the district. J. V. Long, told the
council that he felt that the people
had fast action coming after the
ZVi years since the petition first
had been presented to the council,
then referred to the planning com
mission. . '
Councilman George Luoma then
brought up a suggestion that a set
back clause be incorporated into
the ordinance. That uncovered the
fact that the area is possibly due
for a face-lifting if a new span is
built across the South Umpqua
River.
After considerable talking back
and forth, councilmen agreed to
abide by a Luoma recommenda
tion that a council committer be
named to meet with City Manager
George Farrell to contact t h e
State Highway Dept. on possible
highway plans In the area.
The subject was chanced, inci
dentally, before Mayor Ernest
Barker Jr. appointed the commit
tee. Luoma also put through a sec
ond recommendation. It would
authorize the council finance com
mittee to recommend a central
purchasing agent for fire insur
ance. A stipulation is that the in
surance agent must farm out 40
per cent ot the insurance.
Appointment of the agent would
be by approval of the council
with the recommendation of a lo
cal group of firo underwriters.
Cheaper rates are expected to be
the gain of the city. Comprehen
sive liability and tnlrnd marine
insurance still would he put out
(or bids. The agent wasn't nomi
nated Monday.

Public power groups tought the
applications during a year-long
hearing before examiner William
J. Costello. who plans to rule in
April or May. His decision will be
appealed to tne in. useu.
The public power groups assert
ed that the Republican administra

when Secretary of the Interior
McKay withdrew his department's
opposition to the firm's applica
tions and took no action to press
the construction of the federal dam
by the Reclamation Bureau, which
is under interior.
The Senate bill, ready for intro
