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.

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.

0SC Education Grads
Find Teaching Jobs
Plentiful This Year
Elementary and secondary tea
cher graduates from Oregon State
College this June find themselves
eagerly sought after for jobs at
salaries averaging about $4,000 a
year.
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.

union representatives on May 14 to
discuss changes in the contract

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

They said they requested changes
only so there "could be no mis

They said at no time had they
refused a request for the wage in

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

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, 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

arrested for refusing to move to
the rear of a bus.
Charges against them later were

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.

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.
