Cast By LAURA OLSON Staff Writer, Nows-Rovlew A three-act comedy by Norman Krasna, oftimes short on comedy, was presented Tuesday evening in Roseburg as a bonus attrac tion in the Kiwanis Summer Thea ter series. Six brave University of Oregon players stuck with their lines, which dragged dismally during the first act, to finally come up with a performance they can be proud of. Krasna's simple plot concerns a "famed" stage star, Jane Kim ball (Helen Adams) and the man ner in which she eventually cap tivates the heart of a state de partment emplovee, Philip Clair (Mark Tapscott). Sprinkled throughout the play are some gen uinely funny moments provided, mainly, by Miss Kimball's sister, Margaret Munson (Ula Mae Hos teller). Clair, It seems, has never mar. ried and circumvents any roman tic involvements by telling the la dies he is separated from a (bon us) wife and can never get a di vorce. He falls from this safe oed estal at the feet of Miss Kimball. but not before both parties en gage in several ruses. Others in the cast are Donna Barrick and Winston Rust, cast as Swedish husband and wife serv ants of Miss Kimball. Both worked easilv in Swedish dialogue and heartilv elinvened the third act. Mrs. Munson's husband Alfred (Irle White), a senior member of the state department, was aptly cast. The stars. Miss Adams and Tap scott, used well the material pro vided. Ai'ss Adams exuded the feeling of a sometimes fluttery, ever-acting actress. Tapscott. a personable and handsome indivi dual, amnly filled his role. The UO players were hampered In having to present "Kind Sir" on a regular sta?e, rather than in an arena as in Eugene. On an ex tended stage in Central Junior High School auditorium before 250 thev manaed this feal. "Kind Sir" was directed bv Frederick J. Hunter. Technical di rector was Horace W. Robinson. New Building To Rise For Industrial Supply A new concrete building on the Airport Road later this year will house Industrial Supply Co., now located at 132 S. Stephens. Rex Roberts, spokesman for the company, reports the new quart ers will have about 17,000 square feet of floor space. The present store has about a third that ca pacity. This will be one of the biggest buildings to be raised in the Rose burg area with tilt-up construc tion, in which panels are poured in forms on the floor and then raised into position. Industrial Supply Co. has opei aled in Roseburg since 1945. and has been directed by its present ownership since 1940. Roberts is chief stockholder. The company handles maintenance and supply items for the logging industry. Mother's Plea For Lone Rap To Save Son Fails MIAMi, Fla. HI A Brooklyn mother failed to convince a judge that she alone should be punished instead of her 17-year-old son who shot a policeman, and both faced 10-year-pnson sentences. Mrs. Antoinette Lutz. 45. Tues day pleaded that the son Frank was "a good boy and it (the shoot ing) was all my fault. Young Lutz actually milled the trigger when policeman L. E. An derson was wounded by three shots in the back March 21 after he tried to question the boy and his mother about a bad check thev had passed. They had arrived here only a few davs earlier from Brooklyn. In ruling that both the mother and son were equally guilty, Judge Ben C. Willard told the boy: "I would have a lot more re spect for you if you hadn't been willing to let your mother take the responsibility for your vicious ac tion. Sheppard Loses Final Round To Escape Prison CLEVELAND w Nearly a year after he was arrested, it appeared today Dr. Samuel II. Sheppard soon will start serving a life peni tentiary term for the bludgeon slaving of his pregnant wife. An Appellale Court Tuesday turned down his second and final motion for a new trial, and one of the attoneys savs the voung osteo path feels he would get more exer cise and privileges in prison than he does in county jail. The motion denied Tuesday was based largelv on a criminologv professor's affidavit that he found evidence a left-handed sex fiend killed Marilyn Sheppard July 4, IBM. Sheppard is right-handed. But the 41-osge opinion of the three-judge court discounted the affidavit with such descriptions as "highlv speculative and falls, cious." "Guess work" and "sheer supposition." .

Indictment Hits CIO Auto Union At Detroit (Continued from Page One) ion is moderator of the program. Top Penalty 15,000 The indictment, containing four counts, charges the union violated a section of the act which prohibits banks, corporations and labor or ganizations from using general funds for political purposes. A maximum penalty of $5,000 is provided in event of conviction on any of the counts. At te time the grand Jury in vestigation began, and since, offi cers of the UAW charged Repub licans were attempting to interfere with the franchise of working peo ple. Emit Mazey, UAW secretary treasurer, said the investigation was inspired by Feikens and Post master General Arthur Summer field. Summerfield is a Michigan man. The union, after the indictment was handed down, issued a state ment denying it had acted wrongly and welcoming "this opportunity to test the validity and scope of this law." Mazey, a witness before the grand jury, said at the time of charges and counter-charges over the investigation that union mem bers contributed $5,000 to McNa mara's campaign but that all of it was given voluntarily, and none was dues money, Harold A. Cranefield, general counsel for the UAW, said the un ion would appeal to the U. S. Su preme Court any conviction that might be brought under the indict ment. Cerman Problem Stalls Agreement At Ceneva (Continued from Page One) not reply, but Bulganin said he was grateful to Eisenhower for his statement. The Soviet Premier said he knew the President as a great war leader and architect ot Allied vic tory and he believed in the Presi dent's sincerity. Nevertheless, he expressed reservations as to the oetensive character of IMA 10 and demanded West Germany's with drawal as a precondition for Ger man unification. The Soviet position dashed I'm gering hopes that Russia might come up witn a surprise new po sition on Germany. Bulganin also made remarks on British Prime Minister Eden's European security proposals which discouraged some western officials. Outlook Discouraging I he security item, next after Germany on the four-point con ference agenda, adopted Tuesday was one on which Russia had laid great stress before the leaders gathered. Bulganin spoke at length on it in his opening statement Mon day. Yesterday, however, he brushed aside Eden's proposal for a mutual security pact of the Big Four and united uermany as unwar ranted." 'The Soviet Union," he reported ly said, "does not depend on the guarantees of others such as those proposed. Such guarantees, he added, were "comprehensible for weak states which were not in a position to defend themselves, but unwarranted in the case of strong powers. Eden defended his proposal, but Russia's attitude left no doubt that the Western Powers would run into trouble on the security issue just as they had on Germany. One high Western source said the day's de velopments "were not encourag ing."
