There was no word meanwhile on whether President Elsenhower's second illness in 10 months might cause him to change his mind about seeking re-election.

Society Pledget Fight For Lillie Moore House (Citlnued From Page One) Moore until 1952. when the U. S. Supreme Court turned over the earnings to the government. The claims of the relatives were disal lowed. The government was In the pic ture because Miss Moore had will ed the property to the United States. The Senate action didn t make a hit with city officials, either. Wlicn Ilia property first was de clared surplus two years ago, the city made application with the General Servicos Administration for title under the formula that a municipality may purchase surnlus federal lands for half the apprais ed value. The property then must be used for park or recreational purposes. subsequently, the GSA rejected the city's application, saying the property is adaptable only for busi ness purposes. Then came the announcement of tho auction. Instantly, members of the Historical Society were In a campaign to have the three lots withdrawn. Rep. Harris Ellsworth of Rose burg took up the cause and the GSA cancelled sale of the three lots. The city and the Historical So ciety have had their heads close together in plans for the property. The Histories! Society has a com mitment from the City Council for possession of the house, should the city gain title to the property. That move is allowed In tho amended senate bill. But the city, If It a c c e p t s the grounds under the Senate bill, must use tne tract for nark purposes. And city officials have been study ing tne site as: (1) A oossib a nark- ing lot, or (2) a possible location lor a new city hall. Mrs. Micelli, while promising to fight the Senate law, had no harsh comment about the action. In fact, she said that "from their view point (the Senate's), it was a rea sonable thing to do because the city did offer to buy the property for half price." But she admitted that the amended bill isn't in line at all with the thinking of the Historical Society. And she pointed out that Hen. Ellsworth mjiv hav ,,, plans, since he's a local man and i wH-versed on the wants of the lo- cal people. ASKS DANCI HALL LICENSE A, H.

Sheriff Terry Schrunk and Clyde C. Crosby, international repre sentative of the Teamsters Union in Oregon, wire the final wit nesses of the week. Schrunk spent most of the day in the jury room. Crosby was called in for m hours before the grand jury broke off for the week end. . Dist. Atty. William Langley, who was subpenaed to appear Friday, went into the room for only a few minutes.

Quarles Admits H-Bomb Fell Short Of Target (Continued From Page One) area of total or major destruction by a midair burst of an H-bomb of about 10 megatons (the equiv alent of energy yielded in the ex plosion of ten millions tons of or dinary tnt) is estimated at about 12 miles. Quarles said "the initial think ing" was not to make any official announcement regarding the in cident. This, he said, was . "not to shield any error but because it seemed wiser not to talk about the subject." (Ordinarily, the military pre fers not to disclose data, which gives a clue to the degree of ac curacy in the use of new weapons.) But, referring to speculation about the margin of error which ranged from two to seven miles, Quarles said "recent events make it time for frank admission." He said the fact that the bomb detonated at a midair point some what less than lour miles trom tne intended point of burst did have some effect on the scientific re cordings of the explosion, but it "did not have a serious effect on the overall experiment. j He explained that in this par ticular test tne recording instru ments were set up for a "broad scale coverage." Quarles explanation that human error was at fault was similar to a statement earlier by Brig, Gen. Robert L. Scott Jr., Air Force di rector of information. He said, however, that the plane missed the target about two miles. The Honolulu Star Bulletin, in a story Friday on the target miss, quoted a test technician as saying two men 180 miles distant were permanently blinded by the explo sion flash. In Washington, the Atomic En ergy Commission issued this state ment on the report: "Rear Adm. B. Hall Hanlon, commander of the joint task force 7. advised the AEC that no per sons have suffered eye injury as a result of detonations in tne cur rent Redwing) series of nuclear Ben Russell, Roy Cox Scotts Valley Candidates Ben Russell and Roy Cox are candidates for the school board at Scotts Valley.

With the summer almost here, non-agricultural employers indicate that maximum employment hai been reached, according to George T. Foster, manager of the Rose burg office of the Oregon Employ ment Service. Though there has been some cur tailment of lumber operations be cause of softening of lumber and plywood prices, there has been no widespread layoffs, Foster said. Contract construction work la moving steadily, and a gradual in crease in employment in retail trade is evident. Foster said in creases in the latter field is usual ly a good indication that almost complete recovery from the effects of the long winter has been made. Claims for unemployment insur ance have dropped to a point well below the minimum for any simi lar period Bince 1952. Although there is little demand now for unskilled workers, employ ers have openings for skilled and semi-skilled workmen. . As the summer progresses, there will be a need for farm help. The bean crop, Foster said, will com pare favorablywith last year, pro viding that the recent ratns haven't caused serious setbacks in - the growing process. Little change in other harvests is expected. ) Foster pointed out that a new group of workers, those who just graduated from high school, is in the labor market. Many, he point ed out, have high aptitudes for jobs available in the area.
