(Staff Photo Myrtle Creek Pool Money Reaches $4,850 Pledges and donations amount ing to $4,850 have been received for construction of a swimming pool at Myrtle Creek, it was revealed at a committee meeting Monday nisht. The 54,850 includes approximat ely $500 in material and excava tion labor, and 90 per cent of the total is pledges, Bob Kelly, co chairman, said. A fund raising drive is under way in the Myrtle Creek and Tri-City areas. The amount donated in the drive is not discouraging because money has not been turned in from several of the campaign areas, Kelly said. A chart? shewing progress in the campaign will be on display in the window of Dr. Henry Goodwin in Myrtle Creek. The donations and pledges are being turned over to Dr. Goodwin, Lions' Club secre tary. Kelly said inquiries have been received from people who wonder if they would have to pay the bal ance of their pledge if they move out of Douglas County. He said that persons are not expected to pay the balance when they move from the county. The committee, headed by Ren Simms and Kelly, revealed that residents have donated to the swimming pool fund once and been asked to donate again. Efforts are being made to find the illegal solicitors. Simms urged people to donate only to campaign workers who carry a receipt book bearing Ihe name South Umpqua Memorial Pool Fund. A special letter ex plaining the pool plan and intro ducing the workers will be given to each worker, Simms said.

Woodrich The sentences were modified by granting probation after the pair serves 60 days in the county jail. A plea for leniency had been made by attorney.

Mexico Quake Victims Now 32 MEXICO CITY t A crew of 500 men dug into the ruins of an apartment building today seeking the last victims of Sunday's earth quake. The five-story apartment house which crumbled into a pile of con crete and dust was the worst death trap of the 50 old buildings that collapsed in the capital. By early today .12 bodies had been pulled from the rubble and another victim had died in a hos pital. This brought the number of known dead in Mexico City to 52 and the total for the country to 66.

Wimberly. Mrs. Ott's arraignment on the murder indictment had been con tinued until this morning from last week. The additional time was granted by Judge Wimberly to her attorney, Robert G. Davis, who said he planned to file a motion and asked thai the entering of plea by Mrs. Ott be postponed. This morning, after conferring in chambers with Davis and Dist. Atty. Avery Thompson, Judge Wim berly said additional time would be given Davis because the law firm had moved offices during the week and Davis had not had time to prepare his legal motion. The firm of Long, Neuner and Davis moved to another location because the building containing their former offices is to be demolished. Judge Wimberly said Davis would file a demurrer this after noon and that he would hear argu ments Wednesday at 2 p.m. A rul ing on this would precede and pos sibly preclude Mrs. Ott's entering a plea to the grand jury indictment.

By JACK HAND NEW YORK 11 Floyd Pat terson, world heavyweight cham pion, waived his $175,000 guaran tee for Monday night's bout with Hurricane Jackson Tuesday and took 40 per cent of the total re ceipts instead a move that cost him $51,140.38. Patterson's action slashed h i s total to $123,859.62 but permitted Emil Lence, Brooklyn dressmaker who promoted the bout, to make a profit of about $20,000. Lence said the profit would be used to sponsor small fight clubs and that he would open Eastern Parkway Arena in Brooklyn im mediately after Labor Day. The announcements were made at a press conference with the champion, who registered a tenth round TKO over Jackson. Jack son went to a hospital during the night and was visited by Patter son before the champ met the press.

The FBf informed the local of fice that the burglary had been ad mitted by recaptured escapees from the Lowry Field, Colo. Air Force Base. Taken in the burglary by six fleeing men liom the guard house were food, men's clothing, silverware and a rifle.

In checking the absent neighbor's house next day, he dis covered it had been burglarized. Stop Sign Installed Near Building Site Because construction barricades have reduced visibility at the inter section of SE Oak Avenue and SE Main Street, a stop sign has been erected. According to Vernon Murdoch Jr., acting chief of police, the waikways around the soon-to-tum-ble Umpqua Savings and Loan Assn. building necessitated tem porary erection of the sign.

Secretary of State John Foster Dulles con ferred with officials of three other nations Tuesday in an attempt to breathe new life into U. N. dis armament negotiations. Representatives o ! Britain, France and Canada, as well as U. S. Delegate Harold E. Stassen, took part in a private conference from which Russia, the fifth mem ber of the U. N. subcommittee, was excluded. Two principal matters were at the top of the agenda for the private meeting: 1. Mapping final details of a "limited open skies" aerial inspec tion proposal. 2. The consolidation of Western strategy on recessing or extend ing the talks, which originally were scheduled to end Wednes day. I Stassen, or possibly Dulles him-1 self, was expected to start out- j lining the aerial inspection pro-1 posals to the full subcommittee once the private conferences have ended. British and American sources said that despite Wednesday's nominal deadline they expect ihe current session to be extended by a week or so, or until after the aerial inspection plan has been presented. Dulles, who flew here Monday night at President Eisenhower's request to fake a hand in the deadlocked negotiations, spent all morning in conference with Stas sen and other American officials. Some Western observers inter preted Dulles' first statements here as an indication the West is less hojieful than before of ob taining a broader disarmament treaty at this time, and that he will attempt to salvage some sort of agreement on aerial inspection which would reduce the danger of surprise attack. PUC Schedules Hearing For Ellis A hearing by the Public Utilities Commission has been set for Alon day for the extension of operating authority by Fllis Cab Co., opera tor Truman Ellis said Monday. Ellis' authority now is in a five mile radius of Winston.

Gilman Weeks of investigation by law enforcement agencies into re ports of a "telephone Romeo" active in the Roseburg area end ed Monday when Robert James Gilman, 19, Dillard, surrendered to district court. He turned himself in to an ou1 standing warrant charging com mission of an act injurious to public morals and pleaded guilty netore Judge Warren A. Woodruff Gilman was placed on a one year's probation subject to rules and regulations of the state pa role board. For several weeks the sheriff's office and Roseburg police depart ment have been investigating com plaints from women about tele phone calls in which the caller made lewd comments and propo sitions. One of the women worked with officers in luring the caller to her home on a couple of occas ions but he became frightened and left before he could be apprehend ed. However, acting Police Chief Vernon Murdoch Jr. said, Ihe woman obtained a good descrip tion of the suspect's car and part of the license number. The des cription of Ihe car was exellcnl, he said, and enabled officers to lo cate the owner who was brought to the police station for questioning last week. This led to Oilman's obtaining the services of an attorney and his subsequent surrender to the district court warrant.

Lone Voice Keeps Senate On Measure Debate Reaches New Heights Of Tension; Race Riots Mentioned WASHINGTON W) - Sen. Morse (D-Ore) blocked Tuesday an ef fort to have the Senate put aside the civil rights bill temporarily to take up other important legisla tion. Alorse objected to a proposal by Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, the Democratic leader, for a two day cessation of civil rights de bate to permit action on defense, agriculture, foreign aid and other bills which have piled up. The agreement required unani mous consent of tile Senate, and Morse, his voice ringing with emotion, demanded a last ditch fight by the Senate to a show down on the civil rights issue. He said he regarded "first class citizenship" for all citizens as the most important issue before the Senate and the nation at this time. Before Johnson asked for unani mous consent to put the bill aside temporarily, debate had reached new heights of bitterness. Current lace tensions in Chicago and past riots in Detroit came into it. Sen. Russell (D-Ga), leading spokesman for opponents of the measure, referred to "race riots" a number of years ago in Michi gan and said "We are determined not to have them in Georgia." Both Sens. AIcNamara (D-MicIO and Sen. Potter (R-AIich) said that Michigan had had its prob lems in the past but that all Ne groes have an equal opportunity to vote in their state and that Alichigan works out its problems without outside help.
