2 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Gardiner School Board Favors Consolidation The Gardiner School Board has . cone on record favorinK discussions which might lead to a consolida tion of schools districts in me uw cr Umpqua area. The Port UmDO.ua Courier, Reedsport, said the action has two objectives: "1. To stop losses from this area to the support of rural schools in other parts of Douglas County, which are creating acute financing problems, especially for Reedsport Union High. "2. Educational advantages which proponents claim would follow unification, notably junior high program and unified admin istration for all schools." The Gardiner board, though, expressed opposition to being "crowded Into any premature eieo lion on unification. It said a pro- posed new 10-room school should be completed first to assure resi dents of the district that they would have a grade school in their area. Meetings among the Gardiner, Reedsport and Reedsport Union High School districts were propos ed. Clendale Voters To Cast Ballots On School Budget On May 10, Glendale voters will cast their ballots on $172,924. 41 outwside the 8 per cent limita tion on the district school budget. The total budget figure this year is $313,134, which Includes $15,000 for a new school bus. The total budget figure is $21,479 more than tile current year's budget. Also new in the budget is a $4, 000 item for construction of a rough garage building for maintenance of uses during bad weather. Other new items are adjustments of school rooms and furniture to make it possible to accomodate new pupils. James Pate, superintendent of schools says the increase of school population from last year is 7.5 'per cent. He said the increase in budget is 7.3 per cent. He esti mated enrollment would continue to swell. However, the amount outside the S per cent limitation is consider ably higher this year for the 1956 57 budget. The major reason, ac cording to correspondent Mrs. G. B. Fox, is that money from federal land sales through the county gov ernment to the district has fallen off. An item to be voted on separ ately on the same date is a $5,000 item for running school buses at 2.30 p.m. to bring first and sec nnH Drafters home.

Sot, April 21, 1956 Big Party Thrown For James Hoffa; Funds For Israel DETROIT Wl The biggest party of its kind Detroit ever has seen was thrown Friday night for James R. Hoffa, controversial ninth vice president of the Team sters Union. It was a $100-a-plate testimonial dinner that drew 2,800, Hoffa said the $265,000 it netted would go to establishment of a children's home in Israel on a 25 acre tract acquired in Jerusalem by Histadrut, Israeli trade union federation. Hoffa said the dinner idea sprang "simultaneously" from labor and industry groups "who are all my friends. Harold J. Gibbons of St. Louis, secretary- treasurer of Hoffa's Central Teamsters Council, and Joel Gold blatt, president of a Chicago de partment store, were sparkplugs of a 165-member sponsors com mittee. Hoffa has been the target of criticism of congressional com mitees in their investigation of union welfare funds in recent years, and his deals with the in dependent International Long shoremen's Assn., has brought a threat of ouster for the Teamsters from the recently merged AFL- CIO, which previously kicked out the ILA as gangster ridden. Dave Beck, international presi dent of the Teamsters, apparent ly iook cognizance 01 uuouc crit icism of Hoffa, in telling the diners: "There are few men In labor who have not together with their families suffered libel and false accusation. 'I detest a racketeer or a com munist as much as any man in America. I subscribe to insistence that our organization be officered by sincere, honest, honorable men and women. I do not believe in or condone destruction of men by gossip and rumor." At a press conference Friday, Beck threatened to go to court if necessary against any move to oust his big union from the AFL CIO. George Meanv. AFL-CIO presi dent, has summoned his execu tive council to Washington May 1 to discuss possible suspension of the Teamsters for its continued association with the ILA.

Chairman Ira C. Byrd presided at the meeting during which it was stressed that more volunteer help would be needed to help cover the outlying areas of the county, par ticularly the northern part. Jack Sutherland, western Oregon field director, reported that the county was lagging far behind tne western Oregon total. Locally 34 per cent of the goal, $8,740.73, had been reached, while the total for the area is 93 per cent, Sutherland said. Sutherland continued that he saw no hope of meeting the estab lished budget, but now hoped for enough funds to continue local op eration. He said that if enough money isn't collected the local RC chapter would have to discontinue the bloodmobile program and cur tail first aid and water safety classes. Roy Bradley reminded those present that 'Red Cross contribu tions were deductable on income tax forms. The board members present voted to close the Red Cross office on Saturdays after the conclusion of the fund drive, except during times of emergency. It was announced that every Monday at 9:15 p.m. radio station KRXL carries a 15-minute pro gram, "You Were There," describ ing the activities of the Red Cross. The buffet luncheon prepared by Ruth Bradley was served to about 20 persons attending the meeting, Airport Inn Robbery Case Broken; 3 Held (Continued from Page One) was. He left moments later and returned with a rifle. Sheriff Byrd said the man with the gun then accosted Dahl and forced him to lie down on the floor. Taylor told Byrd he didn't like Dahl because he wouldn't lie down immediately. He said he would not have shot Dahl, however. While Taylor weildcd the gun, Byrd said. Lorcntr.cn went to the cash register and scooped out $152.38. Then the pair fled. Byrd said Choate remained in the car during the rohncry. All tnree were identified by Dnhl. Byrd said the Airport Inn was the last of three places considered by the men for the holdup, accord ing to their admissions. He said they had spent some time watch ing the Kenneth Ellison service station in Roseburg but decided not to hold it up when a car drove into the' station. They told Byrd they then wont to the Starlite Theater. As they drove in, the cashier was driving out and stopped them to ask if they were going into the theater, Byrd said. They said they were and the cashier said the ticket of fice was closed but he would take their money. Bryd said he didn't knoV why the three "didn't take his money. The sheriff and his deputies got on the trail of the thrco through a partial description and tire prints of the car owned by Choate. They traced it to him and arrested him at 4:30 Friday afternoon. By 6:30, they had also arrested I.orentzen and Taylor. Byrd said they had found perfect fingerprints on the boer glass in the tavern which were matched with Ixrentien's from the fingerprint file at the sheriff's office. Byrd said all three men had previous police records. CONTRACT FOR GAS VANCOUVER, Wash.

By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON Wl Russia's protest against upcoming Ameri can H-bomb tests in the Pacific appears certain to be rejected after United States officials have completed their study of it. Authorities said Saturday that the protest is both old and base less. They said the issue which it raises has oreviouslv been thrashed out in the United Na tions trusteeship council with Rus sia getting no support, Russia then withdrew the resolution it bad offered. The note was delivered Wednes day, but not until after the Mos cow Radio announced the action late Friday, did it come to the attention of top officials. They fi nally ran it down, after about two hours of checking, in the trans lation division where it had been put into English. ' The press office did not know exactly what had happened but surmisel the note was brought in by a Soviet messenger, handed to a receptionist or other function ary and handled as if it were a routine diplomatic inquiry about somebody's lost trunk. The new note, like Russia's pre vious complaint before the U.N., contended that the projected test explosions "threaten the life and well being of the population of the (Pacific Island) trusteeship terri tory ar. well as the population of a number of states in the Pacific Ocean area." The American plan was at tacked as "incompatible with the aims and principles of the Inter national trusteeship system" un der the U.N. charter. The protest was regarded as a Soviet bid for good will among peoples over the world, notably in India and Japan, where atomic explosions are deplored at any time and under any circum stances. Russia could not protest the American project directly because it has set off many test explo sions of its own in Siberia. Some have been reported causing evi dences of radioactivity over Ja pan, Accusations Hurled Back And Forth In Vice Probe (Continued from Page One) land to control vice, The Oregon ian said. ' State police meanwhile came to Portland to conduct an investiga tion asked by Gov. Elmo Smith. H. C. Maison, state police super intendent, appeared in Portland, but would not comment on the case or disclose how many men were working on the investigation. Sheriff Terry Schrunk of Mult nomah County, whose deputies police the area outside the Port land city limits, said the investi gation ordered by the governor has "political overtones." "It appears that a crusade which started in one direction is beginning to backfire," said Schrunk, who is a candidate for Portland mayor. "I will co-operate In every respect with the state police who have been sent here by the gov ernor. I cannot understand why the governor bypassed the attor ney general in this investigation. "The logical aooroach in mat ters like this is to delegate author ity to the attorney general, and I cannot helD but catch the inference that the governor is playing pontics," Schrunk said. Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton earlier asked the governor to send him to conduct the investi gation, asserting that Langley should not do so since Langley had been supported by the Team sters' Union in the last election and a Teamsters' Union official was involved in the newspaper's charges. v Clyde C. Crosby, international representative of tne union, said, "If the governor Is reallv Inter. ested in a full-fledged probe and inn a wnuewasn ox me conauions which exist in the city, the reper- cussions of this affair will be far nunc." Crosby announced earlier he was resigning from the city's Exposition - Recreation Com- sion. That was after The Oregon tan reported crosoy nad concealed a prison term for burglary 26 years ago. Crosby admitted the prison term and Mayor Fred Peterson demanded the resigna tion. Chief of Police James Purcell Jr., answering Langlcy's charge that law enforcement had been lax, asserted that if there were any laxity it was not in his office. Meanwhile Langley led a raid on what he said was a bookie joint. He said when he got there with his deputies, the place was locKea up. Autherine Lucy To Wed Texas Minister Sunday DALLAS, ( Miss Autherine Lucy, whose attempts to enter the University of Alabama ended in expulsion following campus race riots, is to be married to a Texas minister here Sunday. The 26-year-old student and the Rev. H.C. Foster, 27, a student minister attending Butler College in Tyler, Tex., took out a mar riage license Tuesday. In making her home in Texas, Miss Lucy has said that she was not abandoning her fight to re enter the University of Alabama. Rescue Crews Dig Deeper For 4th Missing Miner ' SUNNYSIDE, Utah W Rescue crews, already successful in free ing three coal miners trapped by a cave-in, dug deeper today for a fourth man still missing. Still entombed somewhere three miles inside the dark mountain tun nel is Joseph Otterstorm, 58, crew foreman from Sunnyside, the father of six. Workmen clearing the rubble of the cave-in have heard nothing from Otterstrom since the roof of the mine collapsed at 1:40 p.m. Wednesday. Kaiser Coal Co. oper ates the mine, 125 mines south-east of Salt Lake City. Hopes of workers and relatives, brightened by the return of three miners from the cold, coal-rock tomb, began to fade as the digging crews worked through the n i g h t, but found no sign, no tapping sig nal, from Otterstorm to show he was alive. The three rescued men jumped under . sheltering machinery Wed nesday when they saw a huge chunk of coal dislodge from the tunnel roof and ome crashing down. They waited 39 to 44 hours without food nr water for rescuers. Report States Georgians Killed In Stalin Rioting By ROY ESSOYAN TIFLIS, Soviet Georgia, I Reliable Georgian sources said Saturday that up to 100 Georgians may have been - killed when troops opened fire on surging pro Stalin demonstrators who tried to seize the Tiflis post office last March 9. - The sources said the city was an armed camp for days after the rioting. Troops and tanks patrolled the streets and a midnight curfew was clamped on. This telephoned dispatch from Tiflis was interrupted at this point, apparently by censorship.

The figure of ud to 100 killed is the highest yet reported. Pre vious reports from diplomatic sources on April 16 said 300 per sons were injured during- the trouble in which rioting students were said by these sources to have virtually taken over the city for five days. - Essoyan's first dispatch from Tiflis on April 15 said the city was then calm, though armed troops patrolled tho suburbs. The first persons he attempeted to in terview, he reported, were reluct ant to niscuss tne events that began March 7. Grace And Ranier In Balearic Isles PUERTO POLLENSA.

Columbia River Flood Forecast Still Put High PORTLAND Wl Revised esti mates of spring flood stages oa the Columbia River were issued by the Weather Bureau Friday, after Army Engineers announced plans to release water from Grand Coulee Dam to ease flood danger to downstream points. The reservoir behind Grand Coulee will be lowered to provide more storage space and a cush ioning effect for the flood crest. Water being released, starting Saturday, will bring slow rises in the river, which is expected to reach flood stage in the Portland Vancouver area by the middle of next week. The new predicted crest at Van couver is from 24V4 to 27V4 feet, a foot lower than the earlier esti mates. Even at the new .level there would be serious flooding. Forecasters expect the Colum bia to rise to 18 feet at Vancouver by next Wednesday, three feet above flood stage. This is some what sooner than this level nor mally would occur because of the water being released at Grand Coulee. A flood stage reading of 18 feet is expected in Portland Wednesday, with lOW-foot stages at both cities by Thursday, Hammarskjold Off To Lebanon BEIRUT, Lebanon Wl Back in his Beirut headquarters.

Snerns nssistnnr COP Lines Close On Farm Issue WASHINGTON Ml House Re publicans drew party lines tighter today in opposition to a soil bank appropriation without a new law to set up the program. Many Republicans joined Demo crats on the House Appropriations Committee Thursday in voting for a $1,200,000,000 appropriation to pay farmers for taking land out of production and putting it to con servation uses. However, GOP members have is sued a minority report saying they wanted the funds approved "con sistent with sound legislative pro cedure and authorization." Both the general idea and the $1,200,000,000 authorization were included in an omnibus farm bill veto Monday by President Ei senhower because of price support and other provisions. Eisenhower asked a separate measure to set up the soil bank alone, as he had originally asked. Hospital News Mercy Hospital , Admitted Surqerv: Wilbur Sellars.
