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.

To Cast Ballots
On School Budget
On May 10, Glendale voters
will cast their ballots on $172,924.

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

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

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.

Contirfuing Need
For Funds Told
At RC Meeting
The continuing need for funds to
meet the 1956-57 goal of the Doug
las County chapter of the Amer
ican Red Cross was discussed' at
a luncheon meeting of the local
board Friday.
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.

Ruth Bradley was served to about

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

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

found perfect fingerprints on the
boer glass in the tavern which
were matched with Ixrentien's

sheriff's office. Byrd said all three
men had previous police records.

U. S. Expected
To Reject Soviet
Test Protests
. 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

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.

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.
Essoyan is one of three Western
correspondents permitted to go to
the Soviet Georgian capital on
April 15, the first visit to the city
by outside reporters after riots
were set off in Stalin's home state
by the Soviet leadership's down
grading of the dead dictator.
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.

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,

Fish, Came Commissions
Ask Halt On Pelton Dam
PORTLAND W The Oregon
Fish and Game commissions Fri
day asked the Federal Power
Commission to halt construction
of Pelton Dam on the Deschutes
River, pending outcome of a con
troversy over fish passage facili
ties at the Central Oregon dam.
In a telegram to the power com
mission, the state agencies said
the Portland General Electric Co.
had failed to submit detailed
plans of fish facilities, and that
this was in violation of a federal
permit to build the dam.
The two commissions were to
review plans for the hydroelectric
project but the FPC has the right
ot tinai approval.
The utility firm has awarded
a construction contract for the
dam and construction is proceeding.

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.
