2 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Tuei., Aug. 7, 1956 Mysterious Lights Seen By Residents Mysterious colored lights were sighted by itoseburg residents and their existence was corroborated by a state policeman Monday night. The lights were sighted around the KP1C television tower on Hose Mountain. Stale police were informed by call Monday night that "funny" green and red lights were moving slowly around the tower. The of ficer on duty at the police station said he looked and spotted three of the lights. He claimed they were even changing colors as they moved around the tower. One local amateur "astronomer" said he thought the lights may Self Defense Limited Rules District Judge (Continued From Page One) brought the bat because he was outnumbered. Witnesses disagreed on whether Soper had actually swung the bat at Hamlin. But all agreed that Hamlin had struck Soper, knock ing him unconscious, lie allegedly continued to beat him after he hit the ground. Hamlin said Soper had also strucK DacK. When the car they were in had stopped because of the bat-swinging Soper, both Hamlin and Staf ford had jumped from the car. Soper's daughter, Mary, testified that Stafford had also laid hands on Soper. But at the distance she was from the scene of action, Judge Woodruff said "reasonable doubt" existed. He found Stafford have been falling meteors. He said innnent that from now until the middle , Jn summing up judgB Woodruff of August, the meteor season will; , d , wasn.t oftcn ne be at its height in the Northwest, Task Of Picking Brink's Robbery ury Continues J BOSTON m The task of pick ing a jury of 12 members and two alternates gets under way today in the Superior Court trial of eight Greater Boston men cnargea wun the $1,218,211 Brink's robbery. The jury will be selected from an unprecedented long list of 2, 000 men and women, to be sum moned at the rate of 100 a day. The selection of a jury was ordered by Judge Felix Forte aft er the first day of trial yester day .was taken up completely with arguments on defense motions and a charge by (he defense that the government had engaged In a "shabby form of jury-fixing." Paul T. Smith, who heads a bat tery of four defense attorneys, charged that the release of some news stories on the Brink's case precluded the possibility of a fair and impartial trial. He charged that the "prejudic ed" news stories were released by government officials, none of whom ho named specifically. One such story, Smith said, even went so far as to say that a prospective witness had been slain to keep him from testifying "accusing the defendants n o t only of robbery but of murder." U. S. Steel Hikes Price $8.50 Per. Ton Today (Continued From Page One) declared the price Increase amounts to "about 6.25 per cent." This, he said, "reflects the per sistently rising costs with which the company is confronted." Under the new contract the workers Rot a package boost vari ously estimated at from 45 to 55 cents an hour over the 36-month period. Of this, some 20 cents including 10.5 cents an hour in wages was effective immediate ly. Additional direct wage hikes of 9.1 cents are effective July 1, 19.17, and July 1, 1958. Under the old contract the workers averaged $2.46 an hour. The new contract, with 32 hourly pay classifications, has a basic minimum wage of $1.82 an hour and a maximum of $.171. It is possible that manufactur ers of hundreds of items ranging Horn wrenches to heavy iiddIi- ances such as refrigerators will adjust their prices upward. But will be a determining factor in any price adjustments. It is pos sible some steel fabricators will absorb part of the increased cost of steel. was called on to find a man "arm ed with a baseball bat" a victim of assault and battery. He chided Soper for arming himself thusly. But, he continued, although it is legal to meet "force with force" when threatened, a man is "en titled to use only what force is necessary" to defend himself. Woodruff said Hamlin had used more than necessary violence. Soper was hospitalized two days as a result of the altercation. Meanwhile, another assault and battery charge was resolved when Jesse Brown of Koseburg failed to appear for trial scheduled Mon day. He forfeited $25 bail. Brown was accused by fcrnest M. Kolbcrg of beating him on July 22. Last week, bail was reduced from $100 to $25 on the order of Dist. Atty. liobcrt M. suits. Governor Orders Leg Break Probe, After New Ties ATLANTA W Gov. Marvin Griffin has ordered a new and complete investigation into the se ries of leg smashing by Rock Quarry Prison convicts, who charge they have been 111 treated bv the guards. The governor acted yesterday after a fresh outbreak oi leg smashing and a statement by an admittedly "disgruntled" guard that he had witnessed beatings, kickings, cuffings and cursing." Warden Hubert Smith said there was "not a word of truth" in what the guard said. The prison for incorrigibles at Buford is about 40 miles northeast of Atlanta. The latest bone - crushing inci dent occurred Sunday night at the Georgia State Prison Hospital in Heidsville, where 41 convicts were taken for treatment after they tried to shatter their legs with 20-pound hammers at Rock Quar ry Prison. Seven men whose legs were not shattered in two sieges of mutila tion at Buford tried again. Direc tor Jack Forrester of the State Department of Corrections said two succeeded. Stevenson Says Put COP On The Defensive (Continued From Pag One) Reforestation Plan Approved PORTLAND I A plan for spending one million dollars for reforestation of O&C lands in 18 Western Oregon counties will be presented at a general member ship meeting of O&C land grant counties at Eugene Sept. 28. The O&C executive committee approved the plan at a meeting hero Monday. Money for the pro ject would come from receipts from timber sales which have been allocated over the past five years for access road construc tion. The counties receive 75 per cent of the sales receipts and the fed eral government gets the rest. Earlier the counties agreed that a third of their share should be used for access roads. Guy Cordon, former u. a. sen ator from Oregon and now the O&C counties' legal representa tive In Washington. D. C. will at tend the Eugene meeting and will discuss legislation in the next Con gress that may atiect tne usj counties.

They do not face, as they did in 1952, the demand for a change in rule which had last ed for 20 years. The polls do not reflect true Democratic strength, as measured by gains since 1952 in city elec tions, governorships and mem berships Id state legislatures. There is a "deep and marked disaffection" among farm ers who ordinarily would vote Re publican. The Eisenhower administration is vulnerable in the foreign field because it has followed a policy of drift at a time of great revo lutionary cnange in the world. Stevenson was reported to have outlined his views on November prospects with the air of a man so confident of getting his party's nomination he already is giving extensive thought to a possible vice presidential running mate Stevenson's view that he will win in the early balloting per haps on the first test was dis puted by supporters of Gov.

You can tell every one in town with a Want Ad and get fast results. withdrawal cannot be handled as an "iso atcd" matter. On the broader disarmament proposal Eisenhower said Russia s announced cut of 1.200.000 men in its armed forces merely follows cuts the West has already made sinco World War II. And he said he doubts that action by individual countries, on the Bulgnnin plan, would do much to eliminate the fear and costs generated by great armaments. Eisenhower said "we welcomo" Soviet efforts to wipe out "some of the evils" Stalin imposed with in Russia during his rule. But, he stressed, these "evils" were also evident in Stalin's foreign policy. Eisenhower put on new pressure for agreement to his earlier pro posal of a freeze on atomic arms, and sounded a new appeal for re consideration of the Soviet rejec tion of his "open skies" aerial re connaissance proposal. Eisenhower said he welcomed Russia's move in reducing man power but that it merely followed earlier moves by this country to "steadily reduce" the size of its armed forces. "I doubt that such reduction of this particular kind as our govern ments may make in their respec tive national interests will con tribute effectively to eliminate the fear, and the vast cost, generated by national armaments,' Eiscn- Cause Of Chemical Plant Blast Probed NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.
