Snow Piling Up
In Wet Weather
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The cold weather that is making
things miserable for gardeners,
orchardists and others is a boon
to much of the state.
Snow Is oiling ud in the moun
tains, and daily the outlook is im
proving for water needed by farm
ers and power generators the rest
of the year.
A dry fall and winter left much
of Oregon tar snort ot normal
snow storage.
But now Bend reports more
snow has fallen in April than in
the winter months of December
through Februaiy 8 V4 inches in
April compared to 5 Vi in the three
winter months. Up to two feet fell
in the mountains in the latest
storm this week, and irrigation
prospects were vastly improved.
Southern and Eastern Oregon
also roportcd improvement. Alon?
with the additional snow the cold
weather has delayed the runoff of
winter snows. That in turn im
proves prospects of ample water
for irrigation and power later in
the year.
Thomson's New
Defense Begins
Taking Shape
NEWPORT, Ore. I Richard
Thomson's new defense began
shaping up Thursday against the
charge that he attempted to kill
his business partner, James Meu
ler, in 1953.
His mother, Mrs. Ella B. Thom
son, and Dr. A. P. Howclls of Al
bany testified Wednesday they be
lieved he was temporarily insane
at the time the slate contends
Thomson hit Meulcr over the head
with a piece of pipe and then sent
Meuler over a ciiu in a car.
Thomson added that he did not
put his hand on a piece of pipe,
although that was his testimony in
an earlier trial. The defense is con
tending now that there was no
piece of pipe in the car.
Thomson explained he "knows
different now and was confused at
the time of the first trial."
The first trial resulted in his
conviction last year, but the ver
dict was overturned on appeal be
cause improper evidence was used.
His mother said she noticed her
son had changed character in the
monl'h before Meuler nearly lost
his life. Meuler was thrown from
the car as it bounded down the
bluff, and he recovered in a hos
pital.

Adult Swimmers
Still In Demand
In Douglas Co.
Adult swimmers are in particu
lar demand in Douglas County.
They're needed to nelp teach
children's swimming classes which
are being offered this year by the
Water Safety committee of the
county chapter of the American
Red Cross.
Water Safety chairman Leon
Mulkey said the number of young
sters wishing swimming instruc
tion outnumbers, currently, the
available number of teachers.
The chairman pointed out, too,
that it is not too late for children
to register for swimming classes.
He said there seemed to be some
misunderstanding regarding the
swimming survey taken among
students earlier this year. The sur
vey sheet does not automatically
register a youngster for a swim
ming class, Mulkey emphasized.
He asked that students wishing
to learn more about swimming
contact the Red Cross office, tele
phone OR 3-3255 to enroll.
Adult swimmers who wish to
help instruct should call the same
number, he concluded.

used without reported incident.
"We believe that the immuniza
tion program against poliomye
litis should continue," he said in
a statement,' "and I urge that par
ents and children scheduled to
lake part in the vaccination pro
gram continue to follow their
plajis."
He said his own 7-year-old son
will receive his first shot as sched
uled early next month.
Meantime, federal and state au
thorities worked in California to
determine whether it was faulty
vaccine or merely coincidence
which caused the polio cases at
this time.
Five of the eight diagnosed cas
es and three of the suspected ones
occurred in California. Two other
cases were reoorted from Pocatel
lo, Idaho, and one from Chicago.
Another suspected case was report
ed from Denver, where a 12-month-old
child had been inocu
lated with vaccine supplied
through commercial channels.
Officials said it normally takes
10 to 14 days after exposure for
polio to develop, and emphasized
it is possible that all the stricken
children were developing the dis
ease before . they received their
shots.

Story Of Armed Robbery

pulled a pistol and told them to
put their hands up.
Then he ordered the men in
front to put their hands on their
knees (including one hand of the
driver) and directed the car west
on Highway 42 at Winston. Show
ing knowledge of the area, the
gunman then told the driver to
turn left at Brockway Store, then
up west Willis Creek Road to a
small clearing. In the course of
the ride, be told the men he got in
the car at 'the last place you
stopped."
After ordering all three men out
of the car, the gunman told the
other front-seat passenger, a youth
of about 19, to search Head. Then,
the gunman searched the others.
By then, Head said, the youngest
man was getting hys'.erical and
begged the man not to shoot him.
The gunman told him to shut ud
and ordered him and the driver
back into the car.
Head said the gunman told him
to walk down the road, which he
did. Head looked back after he
was about 100 yards away and
saw and heard a gunshot as the
car pulled away. The shot appar
ently was not aimed at anyone.
Head said he walked two miles
down the road to the Daie Moore
residence, but since there was no
phone there, he walked on to
Dillard. He called the sheriff's of
fice from the Roseburg Lumber
Co. mill, and a deputy went out
and picked him up.
An all-points bulletin was put
out, and the California border sta
tions were notified. Another depu
ty went to the scene of the rob
bery to gather more information
