Smith Rock-a My Soul Howorth Steal Away to Jeeue GoodeU Economic Value Of Pears Said Ever-Increasing Pears have an ever-increasing economic value. That's the opinion of B. I. Free man, secretary-manager of the Washington-Oregon Canning Pear Assn. He has called a meeting of all pear growers in the area for tonight at 8 in the Douglas County extension offices in the courthouse. Freeman said earlier this week, en route to Medford, that he would explain the current movement of Bartlctt pears, the cannery de mand for the coming season and crop prospects on the West Coast. "There are no overproduction problems this year," he Baid. Rea son for this, he said, is a big freeze of pears earlier this year in Wash ington. The pear expert lives in Yakima. lie is married to a former Rose burg resident, Patricia Ann Sav age Freeman. Freeman became secretary-manager of tho association in July of ihm wnen it was lormoa. He says in two years of operation, "in the face of big crops," the association has kept a stable price on pears 3 per ion. in other years, ac cording to Freoman, the pear crop varied in price from $30 to $110 ton. Ai the price stabilized, produc tion climbed. Freeman says it is up 14 per cent again this year. He cited a similar jump in MS5. Pear production is now 8 million ton. He belioves more pears could be grown locally, and said he'd have a report to present Friday. Currently, Roscburg residents pro duce an average of 3,000 tons an nually. The Medford crop aver ages 30,000 tons, Hood River 20,000 tons. Of the overall total, the state of California produces 300, 000 tons. Court Upholds Conviction Of Dr. Sheppard COLUMBUS Ohio Itf - Tho Ohio Supreme Court has upheld t h e wifc-murdcr conviction of Dr. Sam Sheppard. His only recourse now to gain freedom Is the U.S. Su premo Court.

Langley Claims Governor Smith Went Too Far PORTLAND IB Dist. Alt?. William Langley asserted Thurs day that Gov. Elmo Smith went too far when he placed Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton in charge of Multnomah County criminal pros ecution. The governor last month Issued an order directing Thornton to in vestigate reports of vice and cor ruption in Portland and later sup plemented it with an order in tended to authorize Thornton to lake over the district attorney's role before a grand jury. Langley filed a complaint in cir cuit court saying the governor's order conflicted with the law un der which it was drawn. The complaint quoted subdivi sion 4 of section 180.070 of the state laws as saying "the power conferred by this section . . . does not deprive the district attorneys of any of their authority, or re lieve them lrom any or tneir duties to prosecute criminal vio lations of law and advise the of ficers of the counties composing Uieir districts." Langley further said there are 35 prisoners in jail facing charges not reiatca u me vice investiga tion and said these and other cases need handling. , "The unauthorized act of the governor and acts of the attorney general . . . have created an em ergency in the criminal business in Multnomah County," the com plaint said, adding that If Langley is "prevented by the attorney gen eral from performing his ordinary duty, such criminal business will accumulate and delay, and con sequently miscarriago of justice will result." A hearing on the comDlaint will be held Monday.

Mrs. Kathryn Smith, director of teacher placement at OSC, reports she has received a daily average of 20 requests for teachers from grade and high schools and col leges since July, 1955. The job list ings come mainly from Oregon and California schools, but they have been received from most states in the nation, Canada, South America and other foreign countries. , During March, Mrs. Smith re ceived the year's monthly high of 2,103 job listings. The smallest starting salary of fered this year by any school to an OSC graduate with a bachelor's degree and no experience was $3,- 500. But the average is closer to $4,000 with the top near $5,000. A master's degree usually means another $200 added to the starting salary, she said. Elementary schools are most m demand for teachers, the files show, with high schools close be hind. This year's graduates are al so being sought by colleges. Biggest demand in the h 1 g h school education field is for per sons who can teach more than one subject. About 265 students will graduate from OSC this June with bachel or's degrees entitling them to state1 teacher certificates. Sixty-four will graduste in elementary education under the four-year program es tablished in 1954. The remaining 201 are in secondary education. Both fields are expected to nave larger senior enrollments next year. s. is. Williamson, director ot supervised teaching at OSC, pre dicts the secondary program will have about 250 seniors in 1957 and the elementary program, about 105. And the elementary and sec ondary programs are expected to add another 30 eacn Dy 1958. The demand for teachers, how ever, Is certain to run far ahead of the supply lor years to come, Williamson emphasized. Pickers Called Off But Labor Rift Remains (Continued From Page One) era Masonry Contractors, said they are building the establish ment on an hourly-pay basis. They said they had a meeting with two union representatives on May 14 to discuss changes in the contract demand, but the union refused to agree to any changes, rney saia they also requested the changes be submitted to union member ship, but were again refused. They said they had discovered "various conflicts within the agree ment and the working rules." They said they requested changes only so there "could be no mis interpretation. They said at no time had they refused a request for the wage in crease. They had objected, they said, to "lack of opportunity to study our inclusion in the health and welfare plan. "In our case, with only one hod carrier, we estimate it would re quire an additional unnecessary expense to take care of the book keeping for just one man. We feel if the union wishes to engage in such a program, it should do that bookkeeping itself so that the cost can be reduced and not passed on to the customer through the small contractor," they said. K. L. Myers said tne union naa asked for a 10-cent an hour in crease in wanes and a 10-cent an hour increase for health and wel fare. Ho said the requested con tract was for two years starting Mav 1.

Baptist Church Reaffirms Local Autonomy Stand KANSAS CITY OB The South ern Baptist convention reaffirmed by overwhelming vote Friday its historic stand that local churches are fully autonomous, but it re fused to repudiate a North Caro lina Supreme Court decision that gave control over church property to a minority. The issue was raised by the Rev. James W. Bulman, East Spencer, N.C., who said the court ruling on a congregational split at Rocky Mountain, N.C., two years ago had created confusion on the convention's position re garding majority rule. Dr. Louie Newton, Atlanta, Ga., chairman of the Resolutions Com mittee, told the convention his committee recommended restate ment in full of a 1928 declaration of local autonomy but "we do not interpret it to be the responsibil ity of the committee or of this convention to pass judgment on the decision or the Worm Carolina Supreme -Court or any court, or upon the decision of the North Carolina Baptist Assn., or any other Baptist body. Bulman sought to amend the resolution to reinstate the repudia tion clause. This was rejected by a standing vote. Ruling Of Court Upholds ICC Ban On Slow-Routing PORTLAND Ufi The Inter state Commerce Commission rul ing which bans slow-routing of railroad lumber cars was upheld by a federal court Thursday. The order halts the practice of routing a loaded car by slow freight toward the east while brokers attempt to arrange the sale of the loaded products. This merchandising practice had been in effect in this region for 20 years, some 63 small lum ber companies and brokers from the West Coast said in a com plaint asking that the ruling be abolished. They also said the new order would put some of them out of business. They contended that the order was not valid because no emergency existed at the time it was issued. However, three federal judges who heard the case, decided that the order was legal. They vacated a temporary restraining order which had been issued April 7 to halt enforcement.

Tallahassee Boycott j Of Buses In Fifth Day ' TALLAHASSEE, Fla. I The Tallahassee Negro community's boycott went into Its fifth day to day and efforts were started to set up an interracial council to head off such incidents in the fu ture. The boycott, for which 75 per cent effectiveness is claimed by Negro spokesmen, started after two women students of Florida A?M University for Negroes were arrested for refusing to move to the rear of a bus. Charges against them later were dropped but the boycott started by their fellow students already had spread to Negro townspeople.' PTA officers Senate Votes To Convey Vets Property To City (Continued from Page One) Bill ?123 as '"more restrictive than necessary in that it merely author ized a conveyance for park pur poses with a provision for rever sion in case not so used and con tained reservation of mineral rights." He said: "Inasmuch as city and state donated land in the first in stance, Roseburg was entitled to outright conveyance from the federal government without such restrictions. . ." He said he had recommended such an outright conveyance to tne senate commit tee. He continued that the Senate committee recommended authori zation of issuance of quitclaim deed to Roseburg and the Senate had adopted it. He said the Senate ac tion "provides much greater ben efits in this land for the city." Apparently, the greater latitude for the city will have little immed iate significance. City Manager Farrell said it had been stipulated "all along" that the property would be used for park purposes. father's favorite Stratohungirt Sth Prictd SS9.9S to SV9.9S othtrt to tm.S0 CARSTENS FURNITURE CO. 829 S.

(Win- Planning Change Is Announced By Youth Center A change in planning has been announced by directors of the Roscburg Youth Center, Inc. A lease option on a vacant ware house on the corner of Rice and Jackson streets in Roseburg has been given up by the corporation, according to secretary Mrs. Charles Brown. Originally, the directors and youth of the area had hoped to purchase the site for use as a youth center. That plan has been discontinued, Mrs. Brown said fol lowing a survey of public opinion. She said directors found too much opposition to the site based on ooin ion that repair and remodeling would be "too costly." The site cost was $12,000. A down payment of $1,000 was necessary. The youth planners and the youth of the area have not given up, Mrs. Brown said. Now they are planning to acquire land and build a more moderately-priced center. She said they were looking at pos sible building areas now. m In vV.iC?.V nntt fabric-backed BOLTAFLEX s- j; Ave. Services For Abbott Infant Held Today ..uaiiHo funeral services for r,... ii,io Aiihnit infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. fc.
