Advanced Training
Courses Scheduled
For Policemen
Rrgional school! for advanced
training courses for policemen
have been scheduled at 14 Ore
son cities including Koseburg, dur
ing March and April, according to
ltoseburg Police Chief Stan Olson.
Olson, who is chairman of the
executive board of the OreRon
Assn. of City Police Officials, was
in Salem Thursday to attend a
training committee session.
Courses were set up at that time,
and it was decided to hold the as
sociation s annual convention at
Bend on April 29-30 and May 1.
The training committee is com
posed of the association's execu
tive board and representatives
from the state police, FBI and
Oregon Assn. of County Sheriffs.
All organizations help sponsor the
schools through the Uague of Ore
gon Cities. Scheduling of exact
school dates will be made by the
Icasuc.
The courses will cover the fol
lowing subjects: Interrogations,
confessions and statements, infor
mation on resources of stale agen
cies, accident investigation, bur
glary investigation, report writing
and use of notebooks, functions of
the Slate Board of Parole and Pro
bation, public relations and basic
fingerprinting.
Basic fingerprinting is scheduled
with the advanced courses, Olson
said, because a specialized course
in fingerprinting and photography
is planned in the summer. It will
bo a week-long course, probably at
Kugcno. Also planned for summer
is a one-week specialized course
in administration and supervision.
The courses will be handled by
the Fill.
Advanced courses are held each
spring and basic courses each fall.
Olson pointed out that they are
extremely valuable in smaller cit
ies where on-the-job training is dif

Future Of YMCA
Stressed At Annual
Dinner Meeting
A second "glorious 100 years'
Is foreseen for the YMCA.
The predicator was Norman Win-
slow, &aiem aiiorney, icaiureu
speaker at the eighth annual
YMCA dinner held in Roseburg
Thursday evening at the First
Methodist Church.
Winslow attended the centennial
observance of the organization
held in Paris, France, last sum
mer. He believes the YMCA is
making a wonderful contribution
toward saving civUization.
The conference, he opined,
"shows all of us that we do have
shrunken world." He said the
YMCA is helping shrink it, and
added there would never be any
war "if we understand everybody."
The 22nd world conference of the
association drew 10,000 persons
from 78 countries. All races and
creeds were represented. Winslow
said it had been his experience
that such conferences bring togeth
er outstanding workers. A major
point of the centennial, he said,
was the fact there is a C in YMCA.
He noted a most important revival
with Christians approving the
YMCA.
Likewise, he stressed the import
ance of the association being a
"lay organization." The organiza
tion future depends on laymen, he
continued. "In the next 100 years
it will need lots of people like your
Don Naden.
Each member has to share fel
lowship around the world, he not
ed. As examples, he cited the spirit
of comradery prevailing at the.cen
tennial. Conference goers, too,
were inspired by a message sent
to them from behind the "Iron
Curtain." It came from Czecho
slovakia, and, to misdirect those
opposed to YMCA beliefs it had
been sent to "The Society of the
Gospel, Palace of Sports, Paris,
France."
Simply, the note expressed "good
luck" to those present. The Salem
board member observed that the
Y "was not dead there."
Speaker Winslow was introduced
by new President William Green.

Army Engineers
OK Lower Dam
i WASHINGTON tfl A board of
Army Engineers unanimously ap-:
proved Thursday a lower dam for
the John Day project on the Co-i
lumbia River than was originally
authorized.
It would cost 310 million dollars,
40 million less than the original
plan.
Local interests had objected that
a high dam would inundate much
land now occupied by important
industrial and port facilities.
The original John Day proposal
provided for a dam with a maxi
mum elevation of 292 feet at mean
sea level to store two million acre
feet of water. The modified plan
approved today would provide for
a pool level with a maximum ele
vation of 265 feet and storage of
500,000 acre feet of water.

Police Trailing
Youths Fleeing
In Stolen Cars
State police today were on the
trad of two teenage youths who
apparently fled south after steal
ing vehicles at Roseburg and Myr
tle Creek.
The vehicles a car and a sta
tion wagon were recovered by
Myrtle Creek police, but the last
trace of the youths was at Tri
City, where they are believed to
have had breakfast.
In Roseburg, Nathan Raymond
Collins, 200 W. Mosher St. told city
police his wife's car was stolen
Thursday night from where it was
parked across from West Coast
Building Supply.
The car, registered In the wife's
maiden name, Audrey C. Orr, was
recovered as Myrtle Creek police
tried to stop two youths and ques
tion them about being out so late,
officers told correspondent Ruth
M. Evans.
The boys raced away from the
officers but abandoned the vehicle
about two blocks away, at Hall and
Second streets, and fled on foot.
Later, the youths apparently
stole a station wagon, belonging to
Gerald Smith of Myrtle Creek, in
the Herman Addition. About 5
a.m. it was found abandoned near
Ganz Mortuary south of town, po
lice said.
The youths may have gone fur

other weapons from Communist

In Washington, the U. S. State
Department must make a decision
on an Israeli request for American
arms made late last year. Consid
eration of this request was sus
pended while the Security Council
debated the Syrian charges against
Israel. An appointment with Sec
retary ot Mate Dulles to learn the
U. S. decision has been asked
by Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban,
but no date has been fixed.
An Israeli Foreign Ministry
spokesman in Jerusalem protested
the Security Council's unanimous
adoption of a resolution concern
ing Israel for the Dec, 11 attack
on Syrian positions on the Sea of
Galilee. He said the council's vote
disregarded "the unceasing cam
paign of assault and siege against
Israel." t
The tension in Palestine, the
spokesman claimed, is the respon

who. he said, are ignoring their
U. N. Charter obligations in con-
ducting "uninterrupted attacks on
the life and property of Israeli
citizens and in encroachments on
the state's sovereign rights." I
