Two Portland Sisters
Held For Money Thefts
PORTLAND m When a lot
of money began turning up among
children in a Southeast Portland
neighborhood, police began investi
gating. They took into custody this
week two sisters, 11 -and 14 years
old, who admitted taking $800 from
the home of a trusting neighbor.
Much of this was distributed
among friends, they said.
Police said the cash came from
the house of Herman II. Boellner,
and that they found money cached
throughout his place in shoes,
boxes and envelopes. They also
found some $10,000 in stocks and
bonds scattered throughout the
house.
Doctlner told Ihem he often gave
money to the girls' family because
"they were having a hard time."
All hut $:100 was returned, and
Roettner indicated he would for
give the shortage.
Police advised him to slart usini
a hank and not to let neighborhood
children wander about his house at
will.

TV 'Booster'
Station Given
FPC Sanction
WASHINGTON w Unlicensed
television "booster" stations
which provide a relay service to
set-owners in an isolated (TV
wise) area of Central Washington
have the sanction of a Federal
Power Commission examiner, al
though frowned on by FCC attor
neys. Examiner J. D. Bond told the
commission this week it should
not interfere with the stations, be
ing operated at Bridgeport, Quincy
and Nespelem, Wash.
The stations are "boosters" or
"reflectors" located on mountain
tops. They pick up programs from
Spokane stations and relay them to
set-owners in the valleys.
In his report. Bond said the sta
tions are performing a "useful
chore" and should be allowed to
operate, for the time being. He
emphasized that FCC inaction on
the matter should not be con
strued as a permanent license to
operate, however.
At hearings last year, FCC at
torneys argued against the con
tinued unlicensed operations con
tending that failure of the FCC to
interfere would be comparable to
permitting unlimited highway
speeds provided no accidents re
sult. Bond's report said:
". . . It does not appear from
this record that traffic safely or
traffic control is threatened by the
respondent's airing of his baby in
the small and untravelled niche oc
cupied by the booster stations.
"In this remotely situated and
mountain isolated com m unit a
public importance attaches to the
people's being informed and enter
tained through the television me
dium." The stations are operated on
VHF channels by C. J. Community
Services, Inc., at Bridgeport, R.
E. Darwood and others at Quincy,
and H. J. Miller, Nespelem.
Forest Service Offering
Sitka Timber For Sale
SITKA, Alaska OF) The U.S.
Forest Service is offering to sell
SVi billion board feet of timber
in the Sitka area, opening the way
to construction of another large
pulp mill in Southeastern Alaska,
regional forester A. W. Greeley
announced.
Greeley said terms of the con
tract under which the timber will
be sold will require that the
purchaser, prior to Dec. 31, 1961,
build a pulp mill in the vicinity
of the timber area. The mill and
associated facilities must have an
annual log requirement of at least
80 million board feet.
The Alaska Lumber it Pulp Co.,
a corporation organized under the
laws of Alaska by the Alaska
Pulp Co. Ltd., of Tokyo, requested
the timber be advertised for com
petetive bidding, Greeley said.
The timber, located on Baranof
and Chichagof Islands, consists
mostly of Western hemlock and
Sitka spruce, with some Alaska
yellow" cedar.

HONOLULU Sen. Murray
(D-Mont) said this week it would
be "a good thing for the country
if Secretary of the Interior Doug

Murray, chairman of the Senate

jack Frost Is Hopeful
Of Having Heavy Winter
EUGENE Ufl Jack Frost told
a club group here this week he's
hoping for a heavy winter.
Frost is in charge of the federal
government's annual snow surveys
in this area.
He said the watershed outlook
for Eastern Oregon isn't good right
now. Water levels in reservoirs in
that region are at about a third of
that usually found this time of the
year, he said.
A heavy winter wiin lots oi snow
fall in the mountains is needed, he
said, to build up next year's wa
ter supply.
Otherwise, Eastern Oregon farm
ers may face a "serious shortage"
of irrigation water next summer,
Frost said.
Convict Fails To Win
Release From Prison
SALEM Wt Dupree Poe, Silver
ton killer who has been involved
in numerous disturbances at the
state penitentiary, failed this
week in an effort to win his re
lease. The State Supreme Court unani
mously rejected his application for
release on a writ of habeas corpus.
Poe, sentenced to life in 1932 for
killing a Sitverton policeman, has
been in the segregation unit of the
prison for 27 months for his part
in the last rebellion at the peni
tentiary. He claimed that his original con
viction was void because a sub
stitute judge, Fred W. Wilson of
The Dalles, sentenced him.
The Supreme Court answered
that Judge Wilson had been as
signed to the trial to , substitute
for another judge.
The Supreme Court decision, by
Justice James T. Brand, upheld

Argentine Admiral
To Be Court Martialed
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
The Navy Ministry announced
this week Alberto Teissaire, a re
tired admiral and vice president
of Argentina when Juan D. Peron's
regime fell, will be tried by a five
man naval court of honor.
This court will judge his conduct
in office on the same terms as
an army court of honor will re
view Peron's conduct. The Army
Ministry appointed a five-man
court last week to try Peron, a
three-star general when he was
ousted from the presidency, in ab
sentia. , Both ministries announced that
the trials by the courts will be on
the "grounds of honor" and will
not prejudice any later civil court
trials for criminal offenses.
interior secretary of favoritism to
business and industry.
"We should nave a man who is
free and independent and willing
to do a job in the best interest of
the devclopmnnt of the country,"
he said.
The 79-year-old senator also was
critical of his 1954 opponent, W'es
lev D'Ewart, who earlier this
month was named to a recess
appointment as assistant secretary
of the interior.
Murray said he would oppose
D'Ewart's confirmation when Con
gress reconvenes "because he is
not qualified for the job."
Hawaiian statehood could be ap
proved by the next session of Con
gress, Murray said, "if the ad
ministration would withdraw its ill
founded opposition to a fair deal
for Alaska."
He said he is open minded about
separating Hawaii and Alaska
when the statehood question comes
up for consideration. A bill com
bining the two territories was side
tracked in the last session.
