Special Troop 3rd Of Its Kind By DARRELL MADDOX Staff Writer, News-Review Roseburg Boy Scout Troop No. 93 can claim the distinction of being the third troop of its kind to be established in the United Stales, according to Bill Scarth, field exec utive for the Douglas Fir District. The troop is for exceptional chil dren. "Boy Scout troops of this kind are usually established only in big ger cities." Scarth said. All is not going well with the troop, though, for it is in danger of losing its charter unless more boys join. The organization's charter comet up for renewal next month and the troop needs five or more boys. It only has four at the present time. They are: Lyle Wait, son of .Mr. and Mrs. Russell Wait; Walter Simpson, son of Mr. and Airs. Neel Simpson; David Vineyard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roderick E. Vineyard; and Jim Stancliff, son of Air. and Mrs. Ellis Stancliff. all of Roseburg. The troop, which was organ ized one year ago, is sponsored by the Roseburg Moose Lodge "There are troops in the United States that have boys of one par ticular handicap, but the Roseburg troop takes boys with all disabilit ies," Scarth said. Each boy who wishes to join is considered as an individual. "Boys with types of dis abilities which require the constant care of a doctor, nurse or parent cannot be accepted," dearth added. "We are not handicaps, were scouts," Harold Lester of Melrose, scoutmaster, said. Lester has been a scout leader for 15 years, lie meets with the boys every Tiles day night at 7:30 in Hill's Shoe Service. 435 SE Jackson St. Fifteen-year-old Lyle Wait is the oldest boy in the unit. He is t ninth-grade student at Roseburg High School and a member of the school's Future Farmers of Amer ica chapter. The troop has studied knot tieing. Wait will demonstrate knot-tieing at the Boy Scout Skills Show which will be held at the 3' v l . U. S. Delegates Give Advice On Disarmament LONDON I The U.S. delega tion thinks more progress might I be made toward disarmament if the U.N. Disarmament subcomit tee would stick to one field at a time. Harold Stassen, special assist ant to President Eisenhower on disarmament, offered that advice to the subcommittee yesterday and suggested that it begin its la test series of negotiations by con sidering a reduction in conven tional and nuclear disarmament tobe completed by the end of 1959. To Western observers, the So viet nlan aDoeared to be a re statement of previous Russian proposals with some slight differ ences. These included the first So viet suggestion that rockets and other means of weapons delivery be included in any arms control program and a paraphrase of a previous Russian proposal on the limits for aerial inspection in Cen tral Europe. Eisenhower originally advanced the aerial inspection plan in 1935, sueiestins the Soviet Union and the United States permit aerial reconnaissance over their territor ies as a first disarmament step. The Soviets finally suggested that such inspection be allowed only to a depth of 500 miles on either side of an undefined line in Central Europe. The latest Russian proposals stuck to the 500-mile limit but also referred to the coverage of "'vast areas of Europe" in which North Atlantic forces and the Communist War saw Pact forces are stationed. One high Western source said a "change in the way a sentence is worded may be quite lignificant to the Russians." He said the West would try to find out whether the Soviet limit applied to the Iron Curtain north and south of Russia or just to Central Europe. The meeting of the subcommit tee, made up of the United States, Russia, Britain, ' Canada and France, may last five weeks. .If Thur., Mar, 21, 1957 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 9 Sen.

Errion's Strong Box Has Records Of Transactions SEATTLE l The strong box! of Portland promoter Edgar R. Errion, opened Monday in the ; presence of a Seattle widow he was convicted of defrauding, was found to contain records of Er rion's corporate and personal transactions. Mrs. J. J. Connell, 81, who had the box opened on court order in an effort to collect on an $83,000 judgment against Errion, said she hadn't expected to find any mon ey.

Appeals, arose out of allegations that Errion and others defrauded Mrs. Connell by selling her low value Oregon oyster land in ex change for holdings worth $117,-000. - Errion also has been indicted on fraud charges in another case, and in, income tax evasion charges. The strong box was crammed with folders, corporalion records, photostats and stock sales re ceipts. Included were bills of sale for 17 blooded hirses on Errion's Salem, Ore., farm.
