In Mountains As
New Fire Danger
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ing again Friday over Oregon,

will send fire danger soaring in
the western part of the state.

forestry department permitted
logging to reopen on a 8-12 mile
belt along the coast.
A number of small grass and
brush fires dotted the slate Thurs
day, but they were reported under
control Friday.
The Weather Bureau said no
major change is due in Oregon's
weather through next Thursday.
Generally fair weather is fore
cast, wun aDove-average temper
atures. Patchy, early-morning fog, how
ever, is due Saturday morning in
the northern interior of Western
Oregon.
A high pressure ridge off the
coast still is keeping cooling
masses of air and Pacific storm
fronts from reaching the state.
The Saturday high west of the
mountains is expected to range
from 80 in the north to 90 in the
Routh, Eastern Oregon will have
clear skies and a high of 90, the

Former Football
Player Sets Record
At Big Round-Up
PENDLETON Wl John Hat
ley of Uvalde, Tex., a former pro
fessional football player little
known in rodeo circles, was the
first of the some 200 competing
cowboys to establish a Kound-Up
record in this year's show.
He bulldogged his steer in 5.9
seconds Thursday. That is four
tenths of a second under the pre
vious mark set some time ago
by Wayne Dunafon, Westmorland,
Kan. Dunafon has not approached
his previous mark in competition
this year.
But Hatlcy still has a long way
to go to assure himself the cham
pionship in this event. Winners
are judged on the average of the
times in three go-rounds. This is
the case for all six major events
bulldogging, bronc riding, calf
roping, bareback riding, Brahma
bull riding and steer roping.
Rodeo's top money winner, Bill
Linderman of Walla Walla, had
hard luck in one of Thursday's
events. He missed his steer and
was thrown to the ground but ap
parently suffered only slight in
juries. Another cowboy thrown Thurs
day was Canadian champion Law
rence Mutchinson of Calgary. The
Brahma bull that threw him al
most gored him.
The Hound-Up continued Friday
with another presentation of the
Indian pageant and another of
arena competition.
The finals and the presentation
of trophies will be televised Sat
urday by the Columbia Broadcast
ing System.

Negro Father
Finds Dynamite
On Front Lawn
EASTON, Md. 11 A Negro
father of two children attending
a formerly all-white elementary
school found a homemade bomb of
10 sticks of dynamite on his front
lawn Friday morning.
Sessions Boyd spotted a plastic
picnic bag in front of his house.
When he pulled the zipper, he saw
the dynamite and called police.
A Maryland State Police ser
geant dunked It in a bucket of
water.
Thomas Mcssick, a dealer in
dynamite, said the explosives had
the potential force of a one-ton
bomb and would have destroyed or
severely damaged three or four of
the frame row houses on Graham
St.
Mcssick said the dynamite prob
ably failed to go off because of a
faulty fuse. The inside of the bag
was scorched, indicating the fuse
had been set off.
Protests to integration of ele
mentary schools in Talbot County
have been made by a White Cit
izens Assn. However, no demon
strations have been staged since
school opened Sept. 5 when three
pickets were arrested.
The Boyd's two children are at
tending the Hanson St. Elemen
tary School whore the demonstra
tions were staged.

Thursday ordered his Planning
and Development Department to
prepare a summary of Oregon's
forest industry problems for pre
sentation to a U.S. Senate hearing
this fall.
He said the current hearings
being held over the state by him
have brought out the need for
more access roads in forests, as
well as the need for accelerated
forest inventories and mainten
ance of a competitive price struc
ture. "I am requesting the Depart
ment of Planning and Develop
ment and its advisory board to
actively and immediately co-operate
with lumber'intercsts, Forest
Service officials at both the slate

and all others interested in this
vital segment of our economy,"

Unemployment Benefit Claims
Reach High Peak For August;
Industry Affected By Strike
Claims for unemployment bene
fits, many of them in a question
able status because of the current
labor dispute, reached a high peak
during August for the summer
months in the Roseburg area, re
ports the local office of the Ore
gon Stale Employment Service.
The unemployment level, already
higher than usual, the employment
service's report continues, was fur
ther affected during August by the
labor disputes in the lumber and
plywood industries. Some 1,500
workeri have been idled by the
strikes.
Adversely Affected
In keeping with conditions, the
retail trade and other industries
have also been adversely affected,
the report says. Local merchants
reported a slow-up in business dur
ing August and many attributed
this to a loss of purchasing power
on the part of the consumers.
The report goes on to say that
additional adversity includes
the closure of four retail firms dur
ing the month. It also estimates
that some 12 to 18 gypo logging
operations have been forced to
cease operations as an Indirect re
sult of the dispute.
In addition, two smaller lumber
firms closed their operations and
at least four others have shut down
Benson States
Ike Wants Him
To Keep Post
WASHINGTON lf) Secretary
of Agriculture Benson said Fri
day it is the decision of President
Eisenhower that he continue in
definitely in the cabinet.
Benson said the matter was dis
cussed at his conference with the
president at Newport, R. I., Wed
nesday. "Some time ago the President
asked me to stay on," Benson
said. "I took the matter up with
my church, from which I am on
leave. It consented and I agreed
to stay on."
Benson said the matter was dis
cussed again Wednesday, and that
there was no change in the situa
tion. '
Benson is an apostle of the
Mormon Church.
Answer To Question
Benson's remarks at a news
conference were in response to a
request for comment on a demand
by newly-elected Democratic Sen.
Proxmire of Wisconsin for Ben
son's removal from the cabinet.
Proxmire made his demand in a
telegram to Eisenhower. He at
tributed his upset victory in the
recent special Wisconsin election
largely to dissatisfaction of farm
ers with Benson and administra
tion farm policies.
Benson devoted much of his
news conference to a discussion of
plans for seeking modifications in
peescnt farm programs in the next
session of Congress.
He said the administration will
seek "liberalization'' of crop con
trols, greater flexibility in setting
price supports and expansion of
the Agricultural Trade Develop
ment Act which authorizes sale of
farm surpluses abroad for foreign
currencies.
Benson said he was confident
Congress will adopt the recom
mendations. Telephone Strike

QUAIL SEASON POSTPONED
SALEM The mountain
quail hunting season, scheduled
to open Saturday west of the Cas
cades, was postponed until Sept.
21 by Gov. Holmes Friday be
cause of forest fire danger.
Earlier, the governor had post
poned the grouse season in West
ern Oregon and the special elk
season at Loon Lake in western
Douglas County. These seasons
also were scheduled lo open Sat
urday, and were delayed until
Sept, 21.
temporarily because of market con
ditions. Regarding the outlook for jobs,
the employment service report
states that near future prospects
for job openings aje virtually non
existent. It concludes that any im
mediate improvement in the eco
nomic situation will largely depend
upon the settlement of the existing
labor dispute and any improve
ment in the lumber and plywood
market.
Harvest Under Way
The prune harvest is under way
in the area, but apparently plenty
of help is available.
One bright feature in the report
is the construction phase of the
Roseburg area's economic condi
tion. A total of 33 construction per
mits were issued in Roseburg dur
ing August at i total valuation of
$56,040. This includes three new
dwellings at a cost of $22,500 and
one new commercial building at
$5,000.
Also noting a feature of Rose
burg's July construction figure, it
is pointed out that for the month
of July, Roseburg was second in
the state in construction, exceeded
only by the city of Portland.
The estimated total of unemploy
ment in the area, as told by the lo
cal state employment service, was
2,150 by the end of August. There
were 789 new and additional claims
in August as compared to 471 in
July 1957 and 225 in August 1956.
Total Up
Weeks claimed last month total
ed 1,912 as compared to 1,648 in
July 1957 and 1,000 in August 1956.
Registered applicants for work
in the active file of the office to
taled 1,118 in August of whom 367
were women. This number does
not reflect a true picture, the re
port states, because many involved
in the mass layoff were not regis
tered. Job placements during August
were 177, compared to 179 in July,
1957 and 321 in August, 1956.

Department said Friday it has in
formation of "possible signifi
cance" concerning the dynamiting
of the Hattie Cotton School in
Nashville, Tenn., and is turning
it over to local authorities.

in line with the Justice Depart
ment's desire to be of all possible
assistance to local authorities re
garding violations of law.
Brownell said the inforhiation is
being turned over to Nashville
authorities by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation.
This was the first formal an
nouncement that FBI agents had
taken a hand in investigating the
Ilast Tuesday.
The explosion wrecked the half
million dollar school building.
The dynamiting followed the ad
mission of a Negro child to the
first grade of the school.
Brownell's brief announcement
gave no indication as to the na
ture of the information developed
by the FBI.

Alabama Endorses Idea
Of Resettling Negroes
MONTGOMERY, Ala. ifl - The
Alabama Senate adopted a reso
lution Friday endorsing the idea
of a resettlement commission in
southern states to move Negroes
to the north.
It was sponsored bv Sen. Sam
Engelhardt of Macon County, who
is executive secretary of the pro
segregation Alabama Assn. of Cit
izens Councils.
If approved later by the House,
the resolution would create a four
member legislative committee to
explore the idea with officials in
other southern states.
Engelhardt said a resettlement
commission, if established, would
buy property in northern cities
and resell it to Negroes who want
ed to move north.
His resolution said the Negroes
"will, no doubt, receive a cordial
welcome from their northern
friends, and opportunities will
abound for their full social, edu
cational. . economic and spiritual
development."
Umpqua Plywood
Purchases Huge
Timber Tract
Umpqua Plywood Corp. of Rose
burg paid almost half a million
dollars Thursday for one of the
biggest single tracts of Umpqua Na
tional Forest timber sold in t h e
1950s.
The tract 35 miles northeast of
Tiller in the South Umpqua Range
District, contains 32,400,000 board
feet of green timber on 482 acres.
Umpqua Plywood paid $498,830
for the timber appraised at $440,
520. Also bidding were Ross Lum
ber Co. Inc. of Medford and Sto
mar Lumber Co. of Riddle.
The 23,800,000 board feet of Doug
las fir was appraised at $13.80 per
thousand and sold for $16.25. The
following appraised prices were
paid on other species: Pine (4,200,
000 feet), $14.80; white fir and
other species (4,400,000 board feet)
$3.85.
Roseburg sales officer Emil John
son said this was the biggest sin
gle tract sale made by the Rose
burg office of the Umpqua National
Forest since the fall of 1954 when
he took up employment here. It
was indicated that .the last sale as
big was in 1951.
The size of the sale was set to
make the tremendous amount of
road building necessary feasible.
It will be necessary for the con
tractor to build more than 10 miles
of road.
The next Umpqua National For
est sale is scheduled Monday, Sept.
16. The following day a Christmas
tree sale has been slated at the
Big Camas Ranger Station. Small
noble fir and shasta red fir suit
able for Christmas trees will be
sold by the lineal foot.
Sen. Neuberger
Undecided About
Running Again
PORTLAND Sen. Neuber
ger (D-Ore) said Thursday he has
not made up his mind definitely
about trying for a second term
in 1960.
He -told a press conference that
while it was an honor to serve in
the Senate, "I have found great
satisfaction in being a writer. I
do not like to be away from home
so much. Also, I think it is diffi
cult to serve effectively and al
ways be thinking of re-election."
Neuberger was a successful
author before going to the Senate.
Discussing school integration
troubles in the South, Neuberger
said he favors the use of force,
if necessary, to assert federal con
stitutional prerogatives over the
states.
But he said he would not want
to say that he favored the use
of federal troops at Little Rock,
Ark., where Gov. Faubus has
called out the National Guard to
block racial school integration.
Neuberger said he was working
on a bill which would empower
the President to withhold a state's
National Guard funds if the guard
were used to nullify a federal
court order.
But, Neuberger added, "The
United States may have to face
up to the necessity for a federal
police force, such as Canada has."
Defense Charges
Hollywood Fund
Wrongly Used
LOS ANGELES 11 - The de
fense in the Confidential magazine
criminal libel trial, claiming that
the movie industry raised a $350,
000 "war chest" to attack t h e
magazine, says the money should
be used instead to clean house in
Hollywood.
Atty. Arthur'J. Crowley, making
his final argument to the jury, said
the Hollywood studio should spend
the money in a campaign to
"clean out your homosexuals and
nymphomaniacs.
He said that "for 30 years Holly
wood has winked at homosexual
ity." And the defense attorney ac
cused the prosecution of "sacri
ficing freedom of the press on the
altar of expediency to cover up
people who walk around this town
like they wear the purple of an
cient Rome."
Crowley leveled the heaviest at
tack of his argument against pro
ducer Paul Gregory, a prosecution
witness who testified that M r s.
Marjorie Meade, a defendant, tried
to blackmail him to keep a story
out of Confidential.
Crowley called Gregory "a liar"
who was out to get reveige be
cause Confidential published a
story titled "The Lowdown on Paul
Gregory."

and told police she had left her
rifle in the brush.
