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." Areas under study in Douglas
are: County equalization, slate aid,
county school office, school district
organization, teacher shortage, fi
nancing of buildings, sites and
equipment and federal aid.
Committee members are:

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."

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

The suit was entered by Dennis
Mills in behalf of his son, Virgil.
The accident occurred about six

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.

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.

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.

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
