Ellsworth Urges
Camp Adair Site
For Research Lab
WASHINGTON 11 Rep. Ells
worth (R-Ore) Friday asked the
Agriculture Department to con
sider setting up its proposed new
animal disease research labora
tory at Camp Adair, a former
Army installation near Corvallis,
Ore.
The department now is trying
to decide on a site.
In urging the Oregon location,
Ellsworth noted in a letter toj
Agriculture Secretary Benson that I
the site not only is owned by the!
government but has water and
sewage disposal facilities. I
It has the further advantage, he
said, of being close to Oregon
Stale Colli ge, which has a veter
inary melicine department, and
is an agricultural area.
ST. LOUIS ifl Sites under
consideration for an 18-million-dollar
government animal disease
laboratory will be narrowed from
68 to 10 for an inspection trip next
week by a committee named by
the Department of Agriculture to
select the site.
The 10 - member committee,
swamped by statistics, brochures
and arguments by delegations
backing various locations, Friday
began the third day of a hearing
on the matter. The hearing will
end Saturday.
Don Collins of Kit Carson.
Colo., committee chairman and
president of the American Na
tional Cnttlemen's Assn.. said the
committee hoped to leave St.
Louis bunday for a personal in
spection of the 10 sites deemed the
most satisfactory.

war we seek to avoid.'
The Vico President said this di
lemma can be solved by telling
the world "as we have, that we
aro always ready to listen to
words of peace, but that we will
act only when these words are
followed by deeds.
"Some complain that such a pol
icy is too firm, too rigid," he con
tinued, "but a firm policy will not
discourage the Kremlin if it really
seeks peace."
He said the recent Soviet an

and scrapping of some naval units
"will not affect the core of its
military strength."
"A real disarmament pro
gram," Nixon said, "must cut
deeply In three areas of offensive
weapons atomic weapons, bomb

Until such actions have taken
place and been confirmed by an
"adequate inspection system, he
said, "we can jiot say that deeds

Fourth Of July Celebrants
Have Numerous Activities
Over State To Choose From
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fourth of July will be observed
across Oregon Wednesday, and
more than a score of towns are
planning public celebrations. A
few can't wait until then. Two
communities even got fetes under
way Saturday.
Bend opened its annual Mirror
Pond Pageant Saturday. For the
first time the pageant will be pre
sented in split shuts in order to
extend the fete through the com
ing week.
Beside the Saturday night show,
the pageant will be put on the
nights of July 4 and 7. On the
Fourth there also will be daytime
events, including u pet parade
and a western show.
Enterprise in northeastern Ore
gon started its annual Junior
Rodeo Saturday. The event is for
youngsters from 8 to 8, who com
pete for prizes in riding and rop
ing Saturday and Sunday.
Rodeos are the most popular
Fourth celebrations again this
year, and two more communities
will start them off Sunday. The
annual St. Paul Rodeo will have
an afternoon show and continue
through Wednesday with night I
shows Monday and Tuesday, the
Wednesday finale is in the after
noon. The Molalla Buckaroo also be
gins Sunday. There will be mat
inee performances Sunday and
Wednesday, plus shows each of
the four nights.
Still more communities will join
in Monday. The Klamath Basin
Round-Up will be held at Klam
ath Falls with night shows July
3 and an afternoon show July 4.
The Old Oregon Trail Stampede
will be held on the same dates
with night shows July 2 and 3

Ask Librarians' Pay

ments. He said the Roseburg City
Council had been approached by
the Roseburg City Library Board
and inc Douglas county Library
Board, jointly. The council was
asked for $8,500 as Roseburg's
contribution to offset contribu
tions expected from other librar
ies in the county, he said. Barker
said he had not understood the
problem.
He agreed with earlier speakers
that "outlying libraries of the
county had received a bad deal."
Residents attending the Friday
evening session in the new county
library quarters in the courthouse
appeared to agree that much "mis
understanding of the subject by a
great many citizens was preva
lent." Board members in the coun
ty should make an effort to pre
sent the problem in a thoroughly
understandable manner to resi
dents of their respective commun-
itus, it was felt.
Each library board mem
ber speaking expressed the hope
ui ,ii wun tne cooperation of all of:
the boards, the county court andj
the budget committee will work'
out a satisfactory solution to the
problem at the budget hearing1
Monday at 10 a.m. at the court
house. The problem, referred to often
during the session, came to a head
when the county budget committee
deleted salary items from the bud
get. Prior to that county library
board members, had told city li
brary boards that the county would
pay the salary of librarians, if the
cities would provide housing for
branch libraries.
After Reedsport had complained
formally June 21, the court said
it had not been told of such com
mittments. It commended the li
hrary board for 'enthusiasm" but
administered a warning that com
mitlomonts should not be made
without knowledge of the court.
Court members added that the
county board would have to work
out ils own solution to the prom
ise, if the salary item was not
restored to the budget.

campment here this week.
She is Mrs. Bessie Kellev Bel-

ganizer of the VFW auxiliary Here.
Kelley, a World War I Army cap
tain, became commander of the
Oregon Dept. of VFW in the late
1920s serving two years. He was a
Portland policeman.
Mrs. Belanger recalled that he
traveled throughout the state ex
tensively to set up new posts of
me uregon jjept., which was es
tablished in 1921.
One of the new posts was to be
at Roseburg, and was to be known
as the Roseburg Post.
But in 1930. Kellev died, onlv
shortly before the Roseburg post
was iu ue insuiuieo. in recognition
of Kclley's work, the 43 charter
members here voted the designa
tion "Patrick W. Kellev" in his
honor.
The post was instituted in the
spring of 1932. The auxiliary was

VFW To Ask Legislature
For Sports Rates Changes
(Continued from Page One
cial rates on hunting and licenses
for disabled veterans. The second
called for extension of educational
benefits for World War II veter
ans. The first resolution pointed out
that an "inequitable situation" ex
ists in the certification of disabled
veterans for special rates on the
licenses in some cases.
The present state law allows vet
erans with 25 per cent or more
disability the special rates, provid
ed the disability is certified by the
Veterans Administration.
But, the recommendation stales,
many veterans were discharged
by the armed forces for medical
reasons, and retirement pay for
disabilities are disbursed through
the armed forces rather than
through the VA.
Because records are kept by the
armed forces rathen, than the VA,
some veterans are losing out on
the benefit, said the resolution.
The second resolution said many
World War II veterans are depend
ing on state aid after federal GI
, benefits run out. The 1955 Legisla
ture terminated educational aid to
veterans, and the resolution asks
the Legislature to "reinstato and
extend" the benefits.
Among other resolutions were pe
titions to Congress to extend until
July 25, 1962, the federai GI loan
program under the amended Serv
icemen's Readjustment Act of 1944;
asking that the House-approved vet
erans pension act be passed by the
Senate and citing Reps. Ellsworth,
Coon and Green for their votes in
favor of the act in the House; and
making adjustments in VA proce
dures. One resolution approved asked
Congress to authorize as campaign
service for Spanish - American
War veterans the military services
on the islands of Jolo and Min
dinao in the Philippine Islands.
The islands were occupied be
tween 1902 and 1914. The resolu
tions points out hardships troops
went through in the occupations.
The convention will come to an
end tonight, when new officers of
the state VFW department and its
auxiliary are installed at Central
Junior High School, the auxiliary
elected its officers this morning,
and the VFW was to elect this aft
ernoon. The 1957 convention site also was
to have been selected by the VFW
today. Redmond and Pendleton
were the two most outstanding pos
sibilities. The convention apparently has
attracted about 600 persons. VFW
registration rolls at the Hotel Ump
qua this morning showed about 300
men had signed in for the encamp
ment. The auxiliary enrollment has
been running about the isame as
for the men.
Friday, a noisy parade banged
through tho downtown streets in
the late afternoon. What the parade
lacked in size, it more than made
up in enthusiasm.
New officers of both the VFW
and auxiliary will end their busi
ness Sunday morning when the
councils of administration meet.

casualties "must be very high."
Three western businessmen who

gun fire and occasional bursts
from antiaircraft guns sounded
throughout the city during the
night.
The men, who refused to be
quoted by name, reported isolated
groups of armed workers still were
battling the troops backed by tanks
and jet planes. Poland's Commun

some said the rebels had been con
fined to the heart of the city,
others said thoy had filtered
through the cordon of troops and
tanks and dispersed in small fight

of sniping in Poznan's suburbs.
At several points, the clashes
between workers and soldiers re

Gen. Wehle Relates
Advisory Military
Mission Results
Exceptional results of the United
States' advisory military missions
in Korea were outlined by a man
Friday night' who was part of one
of those missions.
Brig Gen. Philip C. Wehle, dep
uty commander of the 2nd Inf.
Division at Ft. Lewis, Wash., des
cribed the missions as one of
the United States' "most ready
bulwarks against agression."
He was featured speaker at a
banquet at the Elks Club ballroom
attended by about 350 Veterans
of Foreign Wars and auxiliary
members. The banquet was an
Oder highlight of the four - day
V ;'W encampment now coming to
an end in Roseburg.
Wehle, who returned from an ad
visory mission in Korea in 1954,
reported that the United States has
7,000 men working on similar mis
sions in 44 free countries of the
world.
These highly trained men serve
as advisors to their counterparts
in the armies they are helping to
train. For example, Gen Wehle
was advisor to a Korean general.
Speaking specifically about Ko
rea, he reported that the U. S. has
similar advisors filtered through
the Korean army to build the "bul
wark of peace."
The jobs of the advisors is to
see that equipment from the U.S.
is "correctly used and maintained"
and to advise and counsel in the
system, South Korea now has 600,
000 men under arms, "the largest
army" in the free zone of the East.
He related that the Koreans are
quickly taking over the reins com
pletely as the result of the advice
and training they have received.
He said the Korean military sys
tem is patterned after that of the
U.S.
Wehle also saw another product
of the advisory system as well as
that of a "deterrent to war." He
said the system has been the
"greatest message" of the "gen
uineness and worth that is our her
itage." He indicated the advisors
served as representative messen
gers of good will in abetting the
friendship of the two nations.
