2 Th. Newi-Review, Boieburg, County Groups Preparing Recommendations To State Committee On Education The Oregon legislature's state interim committee on education, which will prepare proposed legis lation for the 1957 session, will be well supplied with suggestions from Douglas County. A host of men and women, ev eryday citizens and professional educators, are meeting regularly to determine what those sugges tions should be. Final judge will be the school board convention, slated to meet In Hoscburg the first week of April. Results must bo reported to the interim group by July 1, 1956. Should the county convention re ject all proposals, the work will bo revised. Because the conven tion is composed of school board members, many of whom are members of the special commit tees, that turn of events seems un likelv. Prior to the convention all the reports will be presented at a pub lic hearing in Roseburg, sometime between March 15 and April 2. And special invitations to that will he sent lo all who attended the county spring meeting where proposals for the Governors conference were made. Right now the seven committee groups are meeting about twice monthly. In addition to members appointed at a county school board meeting, the committees have in creased their own memberships by further appointments. Each group is preparing a written report, di vided into two sections: Findings and recommendations. Douglas County School Supt. Kenneth F. Ilarnebiirg this week noted that all county reports, aft er study by the legislative group, "should be a pattern of state think ing."

Let Lumber WofkeTS Voice Agreement To New Pay Scale PORTLAND IT) Agreement on a new contract calling for a 4W per cent pay increase wax an nujnceu Thursday by negotiators for major Douglas fir operators employing some 30.000 Internation al Woodworkers in the Pacific Northwest. The agreement still to be sub mitted to local unions and employ ersalso calls for improvements in the vacation and holiday clauses, the announcement said. It will be retroactive to last Dec. 1 and run until June 1, 1957. Other agreements reached in re cent weeks cover nearly alt other woods and sawmill workers of the Northwest. The first agreements announced were between employers and the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union, and called for pay increases ranging from 5 to 15 cents an hour with the average about 8 H cents. The International Woodworkers (IWA) said they would seek a 14 cent hourly boost. The agreement announced Thursday did not have an hourly price estimate on the increase or on the fringe benefits. Base pay in the old contracts varied but averaged around $1.90 to $1.95. COP Central Committee Will Remain Silent (Continued from Page One) of the three candidates recom mended by the central commit tee, was considerably more out spoken. "It is beyond my understanding and comprehension how tho Re publican member of the court (Judge Carl C. Hill), after receiv ing an overwhelming vote of con fidence at (the) central committee meeting, can now so completely disregard that confidence by ig noring the wishes of the committee after he requested recommenda tions be made," he said. "Certain ly had the members of the court sincerely desired to make an ap pointment, required not only by law but by sound standards of county government, they could have agreed on one of the three men recommended." He outlined the reason for his statement this way: "Due to the many phone and personal calls I have received since the announcement Wednes day by the county court of their inability to make the commission er appointment, I feel compelled to make a public statement to my many friends throughout the coun- "first, may I say that I deeply appreciate the confidence express ed in my integrity and ability by the members of the central com mittee when they recommended my appointment to the county court. 1 am happy to say that their judgment has been concurred in by many others, not on the central committee, who have also express ed to me their confidence and sup port. "At the same meeting, two other gentlemen (Ernest Seaton of Drain and Thomas Parkinson of Dillard), both widely known and equally re spected, were recommended to the county court. It now appears that all three of the men recommend ed have been shown the same lack of consideration by the Republican member of the court." In conclusion. Bridges said: "Throughout this period of long, drawnout political jockeying, I have not advanced my own ap pointment to the county court nor have I permitted my friends to do so, as it seemed to me that the central committee's recommenda tion was sufficient endorsement as to mv qualification for the an- I pointment." Proteins Our Label Protect Your O'K.tf. Calltd Brink's Robbery Cat. 'L.V (Continued from Page One) nal when the coast was clear for the return of the lock being worked on. O'Keefe said Joe McGlnnii, one of those arrested, was not in on the actual holdup. "Seven of in, including myself, did the actual job inside, he con tinued. "One man was outside in a Ford, and two others were in the truck that was used." O'Keefe told h: v the men entered the money cage. "We had kevi for evervthine." He said after the robbery the gang drove directly to a Roxbury district house, separated, and met there again next morning by agree ment. Then the money was counted. The men agreed that all new mon- ;ey was dangerous. They agreed : it and anything else considered ! dangerous should be destroyed. I This was done. O'Keefe said he was robbed of his share by Adotph "Jazi" Maf fie. O'Keefe said he turned his "end" over to Maffie to hold for him. "I got gypped. I never got It. It was the last I ever saw of it." O'Keefe said he continued to "beef" about not getting his "dough." After that, he said he was shot at twice in Dorchester. One shooting, attributed to El mer "Trigger" Burke, New York gunman, now facing execution for murder in New York State, is on record. The second shooting is un known. O'Keefe said Burke was not in on the Brink's robbery in any way. O'Keefe also stressed "there was no inside connection. We had keys to every lock in the joint. We had a complete layout, and we didn't need an inside man." New Line Of Dispute Opened In AI Sarena Case (Continued from Page One) results of the assays actually reached the department." "I do know, however," he de clared, "that we had word on what the results of the assays had been. The opinion was based on this re port." "It is ridiculous to say that we wrote the opinion before we had the information. That just isn't so. This case had been pending be fore the department for five years and the appeal was held in Wash ington for 18 months without any action." After discussing the mailing of the assay report from Spokane, Scott had this to say: "This is a very concrete evi dence that the Interior Depart- i ment, for some as yet undisclosed! reason, was in a mighty big hur ry to hand over these public lands to private ownership. "The testimony taken thus far reveals that private ownership of the national forest land in ques tion was granted on the claim that it was mineralized land and land that would be used for mining precious minerals. "Yet no mining has taken place on the land since 1943. At the same time, however, the present private owners of the land have cut over $10.0000 worth of timber from it since they gained owner ship in 1954 at the price of five dollars per acre to the govern ment." ASKS 112,500 DAMAGES The father of a youth allegedly hurt in an automobile accident April 4, 1954, is suing Ralph and Verne G. Masienback for $12,500 general damages in a circuit court suit. The suit was entered by Dennis Mills in behalf of his son, Virgil. The accident occurred about six miles west of Winston on Highway 42. PRESENT! if Hanna Nickel Operation Shown In Color Film A motion picture in color, graph ically depleting the etory of the Hanna Nickel Corp. 'I operation at Riddle, was shown to the Rose burg Lions Club Thursday night. This was the first showing on the west coast of the film, pro duced by the Bechtel Corp., which had the contract for construction work for Hanna. The film has been shown on the east coast. The motion picture traces the history of Nickel Mountain, which has the only known deposit of com mercial nickel in large quantities in the United States, according to Earl Mollard, resident manager for the Hanna Corp. who was pres ent. The story of the founding of Rid dle by Pioneer William Riddle In 1865 is sketched, and then contin ues through the early stages of preparation Dy Hanna in determin ing whether the low grade nickel ore could be mined commercially. The company worked with the Bechtel Corp. In its preliminary studies and construction planning. The film shows stages of develop ment of the smelter and other buildings, of the 8.000-foot tram way, which brings the ore off the top of Nickel Mountain to the smelters, and of the open pit min ing operation itself. It then traces the process of mining and smelt ing of the ore to the final process ing of nickel. Present at the meeting besides Mollard was Bechtel construction superintendent Ed Draeger and Hanna personnel manager Robert S. Taylor, who were introduced bv Lion member John Siekman of tne Hanna office staff. Mollard, answering questions briefly after the film showing, said two more blast furnaces, making a total of four, are expected to be in operation within the next couple of months. nermittinir the handling of up to a million tons of ore yearly, iwo furnaces will sc filled every 15 minutes, under the schedule. He said the supply of low-grade nickel ore appears prac tically unlimited. 536 Telephones Still Out Today In Roseburg Area A total 536 telephones in the cen tral Douglas County area were were still out today, while Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. crews worked at top apeed to restore them. Today'a tallv from Jactr Mi.. IGuire, manager of the Roseburg exenunge omce, snowed: 261 out at Roseburg, 32 at Dillard, 3 at Camas Valley, 9 at Glide, 141 at Oakland-Sutherlin. Meanwhile, McGuire reports about 17 long-distance circuits were made available to Coos Bay Thursday afternoon. Still to be re stored are 19 circuits to Myrtle Point and Coquille. McGuire said "at least several weeks will be needed to restore service to nor mal." McGuire related that efforts are continuing to establish the emer gency microwave link to Myrtle Point. (This is a radio relay sys tem in which no wires are used. Crews are working to find a high peak between Camaa Valley and Myrtle Point to set up relay equip ment.) McGuire said impassable roads, snow, fog and rugged ter rain are still hampering the efforts of the microwave crew from Port land. McGuire quoted one veteran ; telephone engineer as saying the I conditions the construction crews : are combatting to restore service are the "worst in his 30 years of experience with the company." McGuire said this is the cause of I a delay of nearly a week in get ting service restored to local tele I phone users. MEAN January has been listed by school health officials as the peak month for school absences due to Mines. You can help reduce these absences by making certain thot your child drinks and adequate quantity of milk. A quart of milk supplies the daily minimum requirement for Vit amins C, D, G, and li of Vitamin A. More than a daily minimum requirement of Calcium is present along with 'j daily requirement for Proteins. Keep them healthy by drinking healthful Umpqua Dairy Milk. . . . Table! Business School , Plans Expansion In Kohlhagen Hall Expansion of facilities at the Roseburg School of Business was announced this week by owner manager Charles C. Cring. The school has taken over the area which formerly housed the American Legion, and the move has doubled the floor space of the business. The area will be used as I a study hall for day school students. ! It is available on a rental basis during the evening for organiza tions and clubs. Cring said the hall would be known henceforth as Kohlhagen jHall. I It is the first major expansion of the school since Cring became ; director in 1952. ' Along with the extension, the j school will have a new night school I program which will accommodate more persons. Cring said it would be open week nights, Monday through Friday, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Day school classes will con tinue to start at 8 a.m. The enlargement now gives the school a study hall, machine room, two lecture rooms and a reception office. The special machine room now includes typing and calculator machines, Dictaphone, adding ma chine and a Tachistoscope to help persons with reading speed and accuracy. Owner Cring say the school has steadily increased in site. It hit a peak enrollment last summer. The school is a member of the Pa cific Northwest Business School Assn. and the National Council I Assn. of Business Schools. It ' i approved for training Korean vet jerans as required under Public Law 550. i Cring said the expansion made possible the offering of business law to night school students. Ground Party Bringing Out Missionaries' Bodies (Continued from Page One) River is 200 yards long. Edward McCully was at one end, Jim El at the other, and Roger Youderian, Nat Saint and I were in the caster. "From time to time we shouted words of the Auca language which we had learned. Suddenly we heard a loud masculine voice from the other side of the river and im mediately three Aucas appeared. Two women and one man waved to us from the opposite river bank. My heart leaped. . . . "The man probably was about 20 years old. One of the women was perhaps under 20 and the other about 30. They were completely nude. 'They showed no fear of us. . . and we were able to take many excellent pictures of them." HANDL0ADERS Don't Forget DEMONSTRATION AND LECTURE Tonight 8:00 P.M. Roseburg Rod and Gun Club ABSENT! Commission Approves Calkins-Keasey Zoning (Continued From Page One) home owners in the proposed dis trict had signed petitions last May for zoning. The proposed annexation of Charter Oaks to the city may be carried out without a vote of the people either there or in the city. Pete Serafin, a land owner there, said a 100 per cent petition for an nexation is possible. Such a peti tion bearing the names of all af fected land owners would make annexation automatic. Should the area south of Hucrcst petition for annexation, however, there's little possibility that it would be a unanimous request. Serafin said. The area is one of smaller lots and greater popula tion. The Charter Oaks area is com prised of larger tracts of land and is less heavily populated. Fett told people at the hearing that the setting up of the distpr-t has "no bearing on annexation. Those who spoke before the com mission were: Mrs. Hopper, Irv Pugh, Ruth Jacobson, Robert Kischel and Ronald Cavin. Following the hearing, the com mission held a special meeting and approved the vacation of sev eral streets in Gardiner to make room for a playground near the elementary school. Members also discussed aerial mapping of the Roseburg area and matters lo be hroucht before the Legislative Interim Committee on Local Government and Urban Area Problems, which will have a hearing here luesaay. Launching Site Announced For Earth Satellite WASHINGTON W The Navy and Air Force announced Friday the launching site for the earth satellite project will be Pa'rick Air Force Base, Cocoa, Fla. The two services said the base was selected "on the basis of operational requirements for lan-e rocket launchings, and is suitable to the scientific needs of the pro gram." The base has a firing range for rocket and missile tcsls which ex tends southeastward over the At lantic. 8 Exposure Roll ONLY " b2y 2!. clear, qualify work and mount- i ed in convenient album, FULLERTON REXALL DRUGS 127 North Jackson FILM 39c TOP GRADES IN ATTENDANCE Services Scheduled For George C.
