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

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

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."

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

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.

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

Funeral services for Ida Mani

Robert G. Hall will officiate.
Mrs. Bailey was born hept. 19,

She was preceded in death by

ammunition. They do not face, as
they did in 1952, the demand for
a change in rule which had last

The polls do not reflect true
Democratic strength, as measured
by gains since 1952 in city elec

berships Id state legislatures.
There is a "deep and
marked disaffection" among farm
ers who ordinarily would vote Re

is vulnerable in the foreign field
because it has followed a policy
of drift at a time of great revo

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. Av

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
