Douglas Stretches
Pay Roll Higher;
Holds Third Place
Douglas County stretched its
lead for third spot among Oregon
counties in covered payrolls dur
ing 1955, according to the State Un
employment Compensation .Com
mission. Covered payrolls are those re
ported to the commission by busi
ness and industrial firms.
' With payrolls reaching an all
time high of $1,390,065,127 for the
state as a whole, Douglas County
added more than $8,500,000 to its
1954 total to bring its 1955 payrolls
to $70,922,979, one of the best dol
lar gains in the state
Douglas County, prior to its in
dustrial boom, stood in 19th place
among Oregon counties in total
payrolls. Since the boom began
during the Second World War, at
. which time the timber industry en
tired the area, the county has
climbed rapidly and in late years
has been behind only Multnomah
and Lane counties.
In percentage gains, Douglas
County's 13.8 per cent increase in
1955 over 1954, compares with a
state average increase of 8.7 per
cent. Multnomah county's increase
was 7.7 per cent and Lane Coun
ty's 11.3 per cent.
Coos County, in fourth place,
gained 13.8 per cent with total pay
rolls of $57,457,889. Marion County
remained in fifth place with pay
rolls of $55,408,137, an increase of
10.3 per cent. Payrolls for state
employes are not included in Mar
ion County's total, as comparisons
are made only of industrial and
business concerns contributing to
the unemployment insurance fund.

cave-in that killed six small chil
dren Tuesday night.
Brooklyn Dist. Atty. Edward S.
Silver already had a big staff at
work, questioning all who could
shed any light on the mishap and
studying laws which might apply
to the situation.
A key question under study was
whether any negligence was in

the block - square excavation
where the youngsters lost their
lives playfully digging a tunnel.
The huge excavation was an in
viting spot for cops-and-robbers
games for children in the crowd

County Residents
Urged To Observe
Annual Flag Day
Thursdav is Flag Day, and ap
parently in Douglas County it will
be celebrated simply. .
However,. John T. Trozelle, ex
alted ruler of the Roseburg Elks
Lodge, has called for a community-wide
demonstration of loyalty
to flag and country.
He urged that every citizen co
operate in the Elks' "show your
colors" campaign by flying the
flag in commemoration of the 179th
anniversary of the flag's adoption
by the Continental Congress on
June 14, 1777.
The Elks leader also appealed to
all civic, fraternal and patriotic
groups in the city to fly the flag
as "an effective way of reaffirm
ing our belief in the American tra
dition of freedom and self gov
ernment. "In recent years, too many of
us have failed to give any out
ward sign of our patriotism," Tro
zelle said. "The flag staffs before
too many homes have been bare on
patriotic occasions. It is time every
good American made known his
love of freedom and his pride of
citizenship. This can be done ef
fectively by displaying Old Glory
on June 14."

Argentina Now
Seeks Second
Revolt Leader
By BRUCE HENDERSON
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina Ml
Authorities pushed a dogged
hunt today for a second top leader
of last weekend's rebellion after
seizing and speedily executing his
chief in the unrisine.
Still sought was Gen. Raul Tan
co, an army leader in the regime
of ousted President Juan Peron.
Executed by a firing squad last
night was Gen. Juan Jose Valle,
who had hoped to become presi
dent if the revolt succeeded.
An army spokesman said police
were in hot pursuit of Tanco but
gave no details. The government
earlier asserted Tanco had been
selected to take over as vice pres
ident under Valle.
Also cut down by a firing squad
in the latest executions was Juan
Alberto Abadie, an army reserve
lieutenant who was second in com
mand of the uprising within the
7th Infantry Regiment at La Plata.
A government communique an
nounced the two executions but did
not say where or when they were
carried out. Unofficial sources re
ported Valle was put to death at
the national penitentiary. He was
seized in a police raid on a down
town headquarters of Provisional
President Pedro Aramburu.
Langley Invites
Probe But Fails
To Take Stand
PORTLAND un Dist. Atty.
William M. Langley, removed by
ine governor s oraer irom a grand
jury probe into charges of vice
and misconduct in Portland, in
vited the jurors to inspect his rec
ords. But he didn't show up Tuesday
in person as the grand jury had
invited mm to do.
Police Chief Jim Purcell testi
fied and so did Mayor Fred Peter
son, both under invitation .lather
than subpena.-
Langley instead sent a letter
whose contents he released to the
press.
The, Oregonian, hs said, had
used "all its newspaper tech
niques to smear me, including use
of phony tape recordings. . . . But
it has not and dares not charge
me with the commission of any
crime."
"Any charge of official miscon
duct against me must be based
upon my official acts.
"I therefore suggest and request
that you (members of the jury)
examine the files of my office and
question the office personnel and
you wilt have ine fullest coopera
tion of myself and members of
the district attorney's staff.
"By such an examination you
would be prepared to consider any
charge of official misconduct
against me which must be based
upon my official acts."
Langley was named by The Ore
gonian in a series of copyrighted
articles as having met with men
the newspaper called plotters. The
Oregonian printed what it said
were excerpts from tape record
ings of the meetings.
As a result of the articles the
grand jury investigation was
placed by Gov. Elmo Smith under
the control of Atty. Gen. Robert
Y. Thornton. The grand jury is
now in its second week of study.

Petitions Ask
Bond Election
In Green Dist
Petitions containing 261 names
have been presented to the Green
Sanitary District board requesting
a bond election to raise money for
construction of sewer facilities.
The board accepted the petitions
this week and reported that the pe
titions would be turned over tn the
county clerk to check validity of
signatures. It took the stand that
u me names are valid, an election
will be held.
This was the climax of the 10th
regular meeting of the beleaguered
district.
C. H. Boniols, county building in
spector, told the board it should go
ahead on plans for construction as
if 90 per cent of the voters approv
ed continuation of the district. (Act
ually, three votes since the dis-
trict was formed last September
have given slightly more than 50
per cent in favor of continuation).
Boniols was asked if it would be
possiDie to build houses in the dis
trict if a bond election was nnf.
ccssful. He said If bonds were sold
allowing construction, the ennntv
building department would recom
mend mat Duuaing continue.
Meanwhile, he said, no more eon
struction of buildings will be al
lowed in crowded areas. For ex
ample, he said, the last permits
have been issued on Landers Lane.
"If you are going to grow any
more, something will have to be
clone, he said. He called the situa
tion bad and said property prices
are going oown ana will continue
to dip.
He indicated the district should
go ahead on its own initiative. He
related that the State Sanitary Au
thority could force the district to
nuua sewers. "But we want you to
do it yourselves." he said.
Also urging continued work on
plans for construction was County
sanitarian 1. Claude Baker,
He
said the maioritv vote was the an
swer to the question. He said the
county has been "pretty w e
cleaned ud" but Green is still
bad shape. He also - stated that
building in the Green area would
be cut to nothing unless the people
go aneaa witn a sewer.
