may purchase timber In the South
Umpqua unit, the timber can't be
moved from the marketing area.
The same situation holds true
for miUs in the South Umpqua
area in the purchase of timber in
the Douglas area.
The board reasoned that the reg
ulations are "discriminatory,"
since both units and areas are
"integral" parts of the inland
.Umpqua Basin.
Mills in the Roseburg, Dillard,
Myrtle Creek and Canyonville ar
eas are in both master units and
marketing areas.
Consolidation of the small ad
ministrative units into larger ones,
Watts explained, would simplify
management and statistical work
in the Roseburg office.
To Simplify Operations
As it stands now, a calculated
allowable annual cut is figured for
each of the 16 small units. If
BLM foresters run into a problem
of access or unsuitability of tim
ber for harvest, then part of the
allowable cut in some of the small
units might be lost because the
cut can't be transferred to another
district. ' ,
By merging, Watts said, tne
BLM will gain "greater flexibility
of operations." .....
, He said the Intent Isn t to dis
rupt distribution of timber sales,
but to meet unusual situations.
The four large units would be
located in the Drain area, the
North Umpqua-Calapooia Creek

four points raised by one er all
of the mg four:
I. The problem of German unifi
cation itself, with particular' ref
erence to the necessity oi assur
ing the security of all European
countries.
2. A possible security pact cov
ering all or part of Europe.
3. Limitation of armed forces in
Germany and neighboring coun
tries and creation of a control and
inspection system.
4. A possible demilitarized zone
between East and west.
The Western delegations said
they were not too discouraged by
the deadlock.
WASHINGTON Wl President
Eisenhower reported to Consres"
Thursday that Russian leaders at
the summit talks in Geneva are
anxious to achieve concrete results
in seeking to lessen East-West
tensions.
Carrying out a promise to keen
the lawmakers informed, the Pres
ident cabled his own observations
on progress at the conference to
the Mate Department and vice
President Nixon. These observa
tions, in turn, were relayed to top
Senate and House leaders.
Eisenhower said he is convinced
the Russians do not want the Ge
neva session to end without some
accomplishment that thov and the
world will regard as an improve,
ment.
The President was careful to
avoid forecasting a quick solution
to major problems such as Ger
man unification and rearmament,
but Cpngrcss leaders who read the
report said he feels there has been
improvement of the chances for
solving these problems.
The President said he is doing
everything possible to convince the
Russian leaders the united states
and its allies have no plans for ag
gression against Russia or the
Communist world.
U. S. expert are convinced the
Kremlin's fear of U. S. nuclear
power and air bases is genuine
and that this has controlled their
past negative policies.

unearthed personal effect! of the
girl in the unpaved cellar. Abbott
insisted he had no idea .how they
got there.
An ironic twist of fate made Ab
bott's wife eligible to apply for
the $2,500 reward posted by Steph
anie's parents.
The reward waa offered for in
formation leading to her discovery.
In Berkeley, police agreed the key
information that led to the body
was Mrs. Abbott's discovery of
Stephanie's purse. .
The body was found on a steep
hillside about 60 feet from the
cabin by reporter Ed Montgomery
and photographer Bob Bryant of
the San Francisco Examiner, and
the two ranchers.
Hunch Pays Off
Montgomery, a 1950 Pulitzer
Prize winner for exposing federal
income tax rackets, follewed a
hunch that led to discovery of the
girl's body,
Montgomery, feeling that a
search by officers around Abbott's
mountain cabin, had not been wide
enough, persuaded Harold Jack
son, one of the ranchers, to bring
his dogs into a search. The re
porter said he and Bryant had
noticed an "odd odor" on a man-zanita-covered
ridge near the cabin
Tuesday.
He and Bryant had to wait until
Jackson got through work late
Wednesday before they could make
the search with the dogs.
Clothes Identified
The remote cabin is near Hay
fork on the Trinity River, 50 miles
west of Red Bluff on Highway 101.
The clothing on the body looked
like those Stephanie was wearing
the day she vanished on the way
home from school.
In Berkeley, Abbott's arrest at
his home was the first time he ac
tually had been taken into custody
in the case.
He had appeared voluntarily for
questioning and taken two lie de
tector tests.
Abbott has shown a cooperative
attitude throughout, according to
police, and told newspapermen he
was as anxious as anyone to "get
this thing cleared up so I can go
back to normal living."

The grand jury said police picked
Easley up without arresting him
on a proper charge, and, after a
cursory medical examination,
kicked him out of town and told
him not to come back.
"This was a basic violation of

rights and is a practice that can
not and will not be tolerated," the
report said.
Easley died July 10 in a hos.
