2 The Newj-Ravlew, Koteburg, Locally Organized European Tour For Northwestern Folk Scheduled To By LAURA OLSON Stiff Wrlttr, Newt-Review : A European spring tour (or northwester-tiers organized by two Roseburg residents has attracted nationwide attention. The seven-weeks excursion be gins May 13. It is the product of 'i planning, discussing and organizing by Miss Patricia Pan Amnrican ' district manager John Moller, Portland, says it is the "first time a tour to Europe has been organized locally in Oregon." (Usually tours are ar ranged through an Eastern travel agency.) Wide Publicity Given The spring jaunt was featured in a national travel magazine "The Travel Agency." The publication goes to the travel trade twice monthly. .Information concerning Die local trip appeared in the Feb. 25, 1955, issue. Jelski operates the Lewis Travel Service in Koseburg. tie say3 he has received comments regarding the trip from various parts of the country. Right now some 10 per son? are scheduled to make the tour. The maximum number is around 20. Jelski says a smaller number is really better since it enables Dersons to enjoy them selves more. He and Miss Mayo, who will guide the tour, spent long hours working out the itinerary. "We wanted to give a good first' look at Europe to everyone," Jelski said. He added there were endless possibilities of routing, "as many as clouds in the sky. Tour escort Miss Mayo is famil iar with the route. A native Ore gonian, she has spent much time in Europe, Jelski says in addition, an English speaking guide will accompany the party on its sight seeing trips. v . Start In Denmark Party members arrive in Copen hagen, Denmark, May 15 by plane. They journey south Into Germany, to The Netherlands, back to Ger many, into Switzerland', down to Italy, back to the French. Rivi era, on to Pari with a final stop in England. They return ia the USA June 27. One trip feature, has won many plaudits. Jelski say the planners "tried to make the tour leisural ly." To do this a stopover of two or three days every two weeks was included. The first stop Council Fixi Pinball Machine Licensing Fee (Continued from Page O e) and distributors received council agreement after a standoff lasting about an hour and a half, This action was taken by the council acting as a committee of the whole, with Council President Dr. Byron Woodruff in the chair in place of Mayor Ernest Barker Jr. That gave Woodruff a vote, along with Barker. Councilman Rudy Rltzman was absent. That left the way open for this situation: Woodruff had been chairman of a comimiittee which fixed the sched ule at $500 for distributors owning up to 29 machines and $250 ad ditional for those owning between 30 and 49. He stuck by his commit tee's recommendation. His stand was supported by the mayor and Councilman Robert Harris and Sidney C. Moon Jr. The rest of the council, led by James Knudtson, balked, main taining that a oer-machine fee aft er the basic $500 would be more equitable. Assemblymen George I.uoma. Kenneth Ellison and Wil kiam Adair concurred. Four votes on related proposals resulted either tn defeat or an un breakable tie before Harris came up with tho solution: A distributor will be charged $500 for the first 20 machines and $17.50 ner mach'ne above that lis lire. The old rate was a flat $100 per machine per quarter. eci-ators (tavern owners, etc.) will pav $20 per quarter per ma chine for those owned by distrib utors and $75 per quarter per ma ch'"e for their own devices. The pinballs in Roseburg have been closed down since mid-December when the ""ernes of threo distributors were lifted when rrn chirn were found hv police to be paying off. Since then, the council has been working at writing a new n-",irurce. The distributors Involv ed were: Carrico Amusement Co., Sunset Amusement Co. and Sand ers Amusement Co. Two Youths Remanded To Juvenilo Officer Two htgh school boys, aged 15 and 16, this morning were remand ed to the jurisdiction of the county juvenile officer after the mother of a third boy charged them with assault and battery.

Jelski termed this initial trip as "fun but difficult." He anticipates no bother with future tours. The travelers need only their passports and cash. Jelski also recommends they got a smallpox vaccination before departure. The vaccination is required to reenter the United Mates. April 1 has been set as the time room reservations in Europe be veruieo. Washington U. Faculty Members Take Up Issue SEATTLE I The Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer controversy flared anew on the University of Wash ington campus Tuesday with the issuance of a statement of proles! by several faculty members. In the public release, the faculty group took except'on to remarks made Saturday by Alfred A. Schwoppe, former dean of the Uni versity Law School, declaring: "We can only infer from the pub 1'shcd portions of the statement that Mr, Schwoope is not in pos session of all the facts." Sohwcppe Saturday approved the action of Dr. Henry Schmitz, in rejecting a physics department nomination of atomic scientist Op oenhelmer as a Walker-Ames lec turer and rebuked critics of the university president. In Tuesday's rebuttil, the faculty group, led by Dr. Joseph Kraut, nn instructor in the department of biochemistry In the University School of Medicine, said the nom ination of Oppenheimer was unani mously approved bv the Walker Ames Commit'ee of the university. "President Schmitz nevertheless vetoed the nomination and ma:n tained his position in finite of vig orous student and faculty pro test; thus it was not the U. of W. which refused to have Dr. Oopen heimer, It was president Schmitz alor,e," the statement said. Kraut said members of the com mittee Include R. B. Van Horn, head of the clvil-enalncerina de partment: Harold Sloke, dean of the graduate school; Allen Ed wards, professor of psychology; Leo Hitchcock, head of the hotnay department, and Franz Michael, professor in the Fur Eastern dc nartmont. "Mr. Schwepno's contention that conniving-scientists are uyuw 10 force Oppenheimer on an unwilling ulverslty is obvious nonsense,". Kraut said. The statemct continued: "Opposition to this action by the president has by no means come exclusively from 'nersons trained primarily In the technical sciences' and therefore presumably incap able of exercising moral judgment. "It would aopcar, then, that it Is not only scion: sit who 'cbjivt childishly' to infrincment of In tellectual freedoms." Young Man Tells About Slaying Family Of Four McMlNNVlLLE, Tcnn.

Her mother, Mrs, Myron Lehne, took her to Seattle late last week to a specialist for examination and treatment.

Roses To Grow John Carrigg, owner of the May woo Nursery, presented a rose bush to each boy and girl in the hrst and second grades at the Garden Valley school to plant In a plot on the school grounds. Ray Young, father of one of the stu dents, prepared the ground. Actual planting of the bushes will be done as soon as the weather permits.

Allott (R-Colo) said Tuesday President Eisenhower is doing a lot more for the country by regular church attendance than Sen. Neely (D-W.-Va) is doing in criticizing him for it. Allott blasted back in an inter view at Neely's criticisms Monday of the President's golf, his church rttendance and his foreign and domestic programs. Neely, in a speech to the CIO United Auto Workers Convention at Cleveland, said the President never belonged to a church before he be came chief executive yet now gets his picture taken nearly every Sun day atending services. "I object to connecting religion villi politics," Neely said. "Any man who tries to parade his re ligion that way before the public is ungodly." Allott replied: "Any man who is President of the United States and by his example of church attendance calls the at tention of the people to the need of devotion is doing a lot more for h:s country th?n a man who cm find nothirg better to criti cize." Presidents Press Secretary James C. Hagertv said he doesn't think "anybody in the United States believes" what Neely said abou; Eisenhower. He added that he had not told the President about it, but was speaking "for the White House."

Churchill told the House of Com mons the international situation certainly "seems to have taken a friendly turn lately." He added: "I have never departed in any way from my view that a top-level meeting, without an agenda, might be a helpful manner of approach ing the solution of these world problems. There might be a better chance of success if the initiaHva (for suoh a conference) came from the summit but so far the heads of governments have not agreed to this method." Churchill seemed to suggest in his statement that a proposal for a top-level Big Four conference al ready has been formally and sec retly considered by President Ei senhower, French Premier Edgar Faure, Soviet Premier Nikolai Bui ganin and himself recently.
