Special Troop
3rd Of Its Kind

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

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.

Bill Would Open j
Motor Vehicle
Accident Reports
SALEM ( The House passed
and sen' to the Senate Tuesday a
bill that wuld open motor vehicle
accident reports lo inspection by
persons involved in an accident or
members of the family of persons
killed or injured.
Present law makes these reports
confidential.
Rep. Robert Bennett (R), Port
land, said the proposal would re
store in part a provision of the
original law enacted in 1925 re
quiring reports and later amend
ed to permit public inspection. In
1943, the Legislature decided they
snouia ne connaentiai.
Bennett said the proposal
wouldn't give either party in An
accident an unfair advantage in
damage claim cases. But Kepi
Guy Jonas (D), Salem, an Insur
ance executive, argued a report
could be used to "bully or coerce"
an accident victim into recanting
his' report or waiving damages
because of an inadvertent mis
statement.
Bennett replied that secrecy has

"What good are statistics if you

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. She said she thought the records
might help others suing Errion.
Mrs. Connell's judgment, upheld
by the federal Circuit Court of !
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.
