Couple Denies
Charge Of Causing
Child Dependency
Daniel and Mary Elaine Stien
non of Little River Route, Glide,
denied charges in district court
Monday that they are causing a
child to become dependent.
Judge Warren A. Woodruff set
trial for 1:30 Monday, and the man
and wife were released under $500
bail each.
The charges against the couple
grew out of alleged beatings of
their children and "cruelty and
depravity" toward them. There
are four children, aged 6, 9, 11 and
13.
The matter was investigated by
deputies, Sheriff Ira C. Byrd said,
after juvenile officers received
complaints. One of the children
first said he had fallen down, giv
ing that as a reason for many
bruises on his legs and body.
The child finally admitted he
had been beaten, officers said, and
another youngster told of being
whipped with an electric light cord.
It was also brought out that one
child had been lied to a tree for
punishment on one occasion, the
sheriff said.
A hearing is scheduled in juven
ile court Thursday to determine
whether the children should be de
clared dependent and put in care
of the welfare department.
The youngsters are children of
Sliennon's sister, Mrs. Howard Rol
er. Stiennon and his former wife
adopted the children in July 19fl.
A divorce followed in November

December.
The check for $362 was present
ed to the Riddle woman for care of
the children for the first two
months of a continuing benefit
prosram by Dean O. Haley, dis
trict manager o the Social Secur
ity Administration. Checks will be
mailed Jlrs. Robbins for the chil
dren each month until they reach
18 years of a?e. Haley said.
The story of the Social Security
Administration's action in setting
up the program for the children
was reported by Haley only after
the report was authorized by Mrs.
Robbins.
Haley explained that after the
tragedy at Remote, C. Fenton
Ford, field representative of the
administration, determined that
Mrs. Robbins would be caring for
the surviving Neal children. He
informed her of their benefit
rights. Formal application for
payments was filed in mid-January,
with proofs necessary to es
tablish the benefits.
Haley estimated that in excess
of $19,000 will be paid the Neal
children under the program by the
time Billy, 6, reaches the age of
18.
.Marion Neal, father of the chil
dren, had been making the maxi
mum earnings creditable under
the federal old-age and survivors
insurance program. This qualified
the three children for over $180
ier month until Margaret reaches
18. Alvis and Billy will then draw
almost S30 per month after Mar
garet's 18th birthday. Billy will
then get more than S75 per month
until his 18th birthday in 1967.
.Marion Neal was an arrow mak
er and logger of arrow bolls.
Haley related that in about nine
out of 10 cases where a worker
dies leaving young children, month
ly benefits may be payable to
them from the program. He sug
gested that inquiry always be

Karth slides and flood waters

rains cut highways and rail lines
in sotitnweslcrn Oregon Tuesday
and families beeian to move from
threatened homes.
The city of Grants Pass was en
tirely cut off by road as slides
and water isolated it for a short
time. Four Greyhound buses with
75 passengers were stranded ih..re.
The Hedwood Highway south out
of Grants Pass was opened at mid-1
morning to slow travel but No. 90
stayed closed.
The Southern Pacific's main rail!
line in the Cascade Mountains was

mud and trees littered the tracks.
One of the slides swept down on

derailing two cars and cutting
communications. No one was hurt.
r reight and passenger trains were
halted.
Rains and warming temperatures
that melted snow in the mountains
brought the flooding and slides on
the long-soaked hillsides. The start
was simiiar to that of the disas
trous December flooding which
spread oyer Southern Oregon and
Northern California.
An emergency disaster proclama
tion was issued at 12:45 a. in. at
Grants Pass and the County Civil
Defense Agency look charge of
city and county activities just as
it ma two months ago.
The city's stores were sand
bagged along one stretch ot the
business district to hold back wa
ter which poured from a broken
storm sewer. Flooding irrigation!
ditches at the edge ot the city
spread water over wide areas.
The Rogue River at Grants Pass
hit flood stage of 17.65 feet at 8
a. m. and was moving upward
slowly toward a forecast level of
lu.ft leet Dy noon.
Ham still was coming down all
over Western Oregon where the
last 24 hours had seen a fall of 2
incites and more. Roseburg had
nearly 3 inches and Grants Pass
had nearly 4 inches of rain from
5 p. in. .Monday to 8 a. m. Tues
day on top of 2.8 inches in the 24
hours before that.
The Southern Pacific's Siskivou
line, the old mountain route for
freight, reported a bridge washed
out near Myrtle Creek and another
bridge at .lunipoff Joe Creek
threatened. Water was 8 inches
deep in the rail yards at Grants
Pass.
The Weather Bureau said the
heavy rains would continue
through the week.
High Water Closes Two
Douglas County Schools
High water closed schools in at
least two districts in Douglas Coun
ty Tuesday. They were Mvrtle
Creek's District i9 and Dillard's
District 116.
It was not known if the Mvrtle
Creek schools would re-open Wed
nesday, but Supt. William Brom
ley said all in the Dillard district
would be open Wednesday "as far
as we know." He said overflow
ing creeks cut off students from
Ixwkingglass School and those liv

The rivers were still rising at
school starting time Tuesday.

New floods threatened for a
time in Douglas County today as
capricious February weather
stormed over the central part of
the county.
Snow in the mountains and
low stage of the South Umpqua
River apparently were all that
saved the central part of the coun
ty from a repeat of the December
26 surface-water flood that came
on the heels of the Dec. 22 flood.
The area isn't yet out of danger.
Gen. J. T. Pierce, Civil Defense
coordinator for Douglas County.
termed the situation "critical"
and said that heavy rain could
change the picture almost imme
diately. The South Umpqua River appar
ently crested sometime during
midmorning. It had reached 23.59
feet less than 18 inches below
flood stage at 8 a.m. The U. S.
Weather Bureau said the river was
"holding about steady" at 10:5
a.m.
At Roseburg, the river reached
21.38 feet at 8 a.m. and had drop.
01 of a foot an hour later.
That is about 3'j feet below flood
stage.
In December, the river was at a
high level when 3.09 inches of rain
were poured onto Roseburg.
That rainfall mark was nearly
matched for the 24 hours ending
at 10:30 a.m. today. The city had
received 3.03 inches of rain, but
the surface water flowed more
easily from the low creeks into the
rivers.
