Apparently not, said Charlci Sprague, editor of the Oregon Statesman at Salem. Not enough persons reach the page, he said, citing cases of newspapers cam paigning editorially for fluorida tion only to sec the community vole against it. Plenty read the page, countered Robert Frazicr. associate editor of the Eugene Register-Guard. He said he had proof: Headers keep him awake with telephone calls on editorials they dislike. This and other discussions on editorial page treatment came up Friday at a conference of 35 editors and editorial writers. The conference continued Saturday. Citis Four Editors Charles V. Stanton, editor of the Hose burg News-Review, named four editors he said had outstanding reputations as editor ial writers.

Under his pro posal the car would make a run one day and return the following day. He said the SP had planned on two trips daily in their prelim inary study and found that the ex panse was prohibitive. The origin al estimated cost of daily service was $250,000, said Porter, and S P. Officials could only forsee $30, ooo revenue. Would Reduce Expense Under his plan, Porter believes the cost would only he in the neighborhood of $125,000, with a revenue of about half that. The SP is now conducting a "dis patch study," said Porter, to deter mine how much interference pas senger trains would cajse in regard to freight schedules, and he ex pects to hear from the railroad of ficials shortly on their decision re garding his proposal. Porter said that although the dis cussion was amicable, he made the point that it was Ihe legal duty of the railroad to provide passenger service, and if this was not done it would be possible to bring court action to enforce this stipulation.

ROOM MOTHERS TO MEET Riverside School room mothers and teachers Will meet Monday Hollowed Out Nickel Given Newsboy Led To Soviet Spy Arrest NEW YORK A hollowed out nickel crammed with micro film and collected by a young ster on his paper route aided in leading the government to Rudolf Abel, accused Soviet master spy. James Bozart, 18, said Friday night at his Brooklyn home a woman gave him the nickel and other change four years ago as payment for delivery of the now defunct Brooklyn Eagle. Bozart said he later accidentally dropped the hollowed-out coin and it fell apart, disclosing a piece of microfilm about one-half inch square. He said he took the film, which contained numbers, to po lice. They notified the FBI. Bozart, enrolled as a freshman at Rensselaer Polytechnic Insti tute, Troy, N.Y., said he never learned whether the woman was connected with the spy ring or herself received the nickel in change. Abel, 55, reputedly a colonel in Soviet intelligence, operated a photography studio in Brooklyn. He was seized June 21 by immi gration agents in his Manhattan hotel room. A Brooklyn federal grand jury indicted Abel on Aug. 7 on charges of conspiracy to transmit national defense secrets ot Russia. A trial date is scheduled to be set next Thursday.

With the rejection by Dodger President Walter O'Maliey of a new offer by multimillionaire Nel son Rockefeller, the path to Los Angeles once strewn wilh pitfalls was all but cleared. Rockefeller, himself, refused to give up hope of holding the Dodg ers in Brooklyn. - "An unusual combination of cir cumstances still could keep the team in Brooklyn," he said. But while an impasse developed here, Los Angeles officials glee fully went ahead with plans to wel come the Brooks. Conferences were being held with Dodger offi cials there and contracts were be ing drawn up to be presented to O'Maliey. A Los Angeles city attorney sounded a note of caution, how ever, pointing out that everything still was in the oral stage. "It should be understood that the transaction, at this point, is not 1 final commitment to the Dodgers or to the city,' 'he said. Meanwhile, city officials here especially Mayor Robert Wagner found their hands tied. After O'Maliey rejected Rockefeller's latest offer yesterday, Wagner did not even call a meeting of the City Council to draw up a new plan. He merely said he'd report lo the individual members.

The upset came last night when Virginia Tech nipped Tulane 14-13 before 30.000 in the Sugar Bowl Stadium at New Orleans. Led by fullback Bobby Conner, Tech scored two touchdowns in the first half and won when the Green Wave failed to convert after their two touchdown rally in the final quarter. Tulane's last six pointer came on halfback Tommy Warner's 86-yard run. In other Friday night games UCLA overwhelmed the Air Force Academy 47-0 and Davidson whipped Catawba 26-7.
