In The Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Stark tragedy in the news:
Mrs. Donald Pulien (aged 28) of
Portland was killed the other night
on the upper Columbia highway
when a rock plunged down a hill
side and was struck by the car
in which she was riding with her
husband and their two children.
The husband who escaped,
along with the children, with bad
bruises said he and his wife
were singing happily as they rode
along the highway to the Pendle
ton Round-up. The children were
aslero in the back seat. He saw the
shadow of the rock coming down
the hillside. Before he could check
his .peed his car hit the rock,
which was nearly two feet in di
ameter. it rolled three or four times.
When it came to rest, life with all
its joys and sorrows was over for
the young mother.
There is probably no way
avoid such hazards of the road.
But there are so MANY hazards

speaker Billie Davis told her
the daughter "of what today is
termed a mobile family," and
enumerated ways in which educa
tion made her a better person.
Praising teachers and schools
generally, the Iowa woman lashed
out against popular writers who
criticize education. And she found
few good words for the parents
who believe school is for "good
eradt and maldntf mnmmv and
no charge: schools, libraries,
parks, museums, etc. Such, she
continued, were prime examples
of why "opportunities are avail
able to all (in America) and are
free and obvious!' This disproved
a hobo theory that the "rich get
richer and the poor get poorer,"
she said.
By wanting to become better, by
observing others and by learning
the worth of the individual. Mrs.
Davis grew from child to adult in
a world which lo:!ay is her oyster.
She believes the school class
room, properly conducted, is "a
little picture of what all life might
be like . . . the life we dream of
where all are equal."
Using no notes, Mrs. Davis spoke
fluently, punctuating her remarks
with humorous asides and hand
gestures. She took time to laud the
American teacher and later paid
homage to one long ago who had
taken "time out" to show her the
social graces as well as the mean
ing of the book text. Education,
she maintains, includes "equip
ping children so they'll know what
to do when they face new situ
ations.' Mrs. Davis' husband is an As
semblies of God minister in Betten
dorf, Iowa. The couple have no
children. She is a Sunday School
field representative for the church.
Currently she is appearing before
educational groups throughout the
nation. Mrs. Davis is a free lance
speaker who arranges her own en
gagements. Her next stop is Ohio.
Nixon Maintains Peace
Prospects Brighter Now
OMAHA, Neb. ii Prospects
for peace are better than Ihey
have been al any time since World
War II, but it's no occasion for
relaxing vigilance. Vice President
Richard Nixon said Tuesday night.
He told the International Assn.
of Kire Chiefs there are three im
portant factors leading to his con
clusion. He cited the military
strength of the free world, t h e
potency of atomic weapons which
confront a potential aggressor with
disaster if his initial attack fails
to destroy the ability of his adver
sary to strike back, and the fact
people "desperately want peace."
But he asserted the government
is not being lulled into a false
sense of security by the recent
conciliatory moves of Soviet lead
ers, adding the United States and
the free world "are strong enough
to meet and defeat attack by any
potential aggressor."

EUGENE W Some 60 lumber
mill operators met here Tuesday
night in a move to get the Bureau
of Land Management to permit
broader marketing of salvage tim

of the Oregon coastal range.
Carl Hill, Douglas County judge
wno neaas the Oregon & Cali

in the request.
The operators contended at the
meeting that the BLM had agreed
to allow cutting of some 500 mil
lion feet of green timber to make
feasible removal of the same
amount of timber blown down in
a 1931 windstorm.
Hill said it was his understand
ing that in 1953, the BLM indicated
it would waive the marketing
agreement which gave coastal
area mills access to the timber.
He said that on the basis of an
agreement between the BLM and
O&C counties, more than 6 million
dollars was spent to put access

Uncle Puts Finger
On Accused Kidnap
Murderers At Trial
By SAM JOHNSON
SUMNER, Miss. I Mose
Wright pointed a knobby finger at
J. W. Milam Wednesday and said,
"There he is" identifying him as
one of the men who abducted the
sharecropper's nephew in the early
morning hours Aug. 28.
Then the 64-year-old farmer
pointed out 24-ycar-old Roy Bryant,
Milam's half-brother, as the second
man who roused the Wright family
from bed at 2 a.m. and took Em
mett Villain Louis Till away.
Bryant and Milam are accused
of murdering the Chicago Negro
boy because he allegedly whistled
at .Mrs. Bryant. Dist. Ally. Gerald
Chatham called Wright as the
state's first witness.
Testimony began shortly after
Chatham said he had six new wit
nesses who would place the de
fendants "with the Negro hoy sev
eral hours after he was taken from
Mose's (Wright's) shack." He also
said the witnesses would place the
accused men in the area where
Till's body was pulled from the
Tallahatchie River.
Chatham said the witnesses have
"absolutely newly discovered evi
dence," but did not elaborate.
Wright, in describing the events
of Aug. 28, said:
"About two o'clock . . .someone
was at the door. They said,
'Preacher, preacher.'
"This is Mr. Bryant'," Wright
said the voice told him. "I got up
and opened the door."
"Mr. Milam was standing at the
door with a pistol in his right hand
and a flashlight in the other."
Wright said Milam carried
pistol and added:
"He asked me it I had two boyi
out of Chicago."
The visiting boys were Till. 14,
his nephew, and 16-year-old Wheel
er Parker, Wright's grandson.
They had been vacationing there a
week. '
Wright said one man told him:
"I wants that hoy who done that
talk at Money."
He said Milam told him after
seizing Till: "If that's not the right
boy. we are going to bring him
hack and put him in the bed."
