The person who abducted little Winette Marie Pope escaped into the early-morning darkness when a pursuing policeman ran into a V.othesline. The child was found under a tree on the edge of her yard. Po lice said she was purplish with cold, but otherwise unharmed. Sheriff's deputy Wayne Yates and C. V. Rue gave this account of what they said was an at tempted kidnapping: Mrs. Howard Pope awoke about 2 a.m. and found Winette gone from her crib. Her other child, Gary, 18 months, was asleep in bis bed. Mrs. Pope called police and then her husband, working at a ply wood mill here. Rue and Yates arrived and began searching the area around the house. Rue said be heard a noise at the edge of the yard, and then heard the footsteps of someone running away. Rue gave chase but was knocked to the ground when he ran into a clothesline. Mother Craving Theorized , The other nerson was lost in the darkness, but Rue moments later found the baby on the ground be npnth a tree. Rue said the child was partially covered with a blanket. Beside the child, he said, was a pillow case containing her bottle ana some Hnthine. Eight policemen and five armed volunteers including the child's father searched the area until (Continued on Page' 2 Col. 4) Syria, Turkey Accept Saud's Mediation Bid BEIRUT. Lebanon Wl Saudi Arabia's King Saud today kept up his efforts to mediate the Syrian Turkish crisis, but ant progress he was making was largely ob scured by conflicting reports. The Saudi Arabian radio in Mec ca announced that the two disput ing neighbors had accepted Saud's offer to bring them together. Moscow continued repeating its charges that the United Slates is pushing Turkey to attack its southern neighbor, which has been under increasing Soviet influence for two months. An editorial in Izvestia, the offi cial Soviet government newspaper, implied strongly that Russia might use nuclear rocket weapons if Syr ia is attacked.

Ufi A pet ram butted Billy Graham three times yesterday, knocking the evangelist 50 feet down 'a rocky mountainside and sending him to bed with cuts, bruises and a pos sible fractured knee. . An X-ray examination of the knee was planned in Asheville to day, but Graham said he would make his scheduled appearance at the Polo Grounds in New York City next Sunday "even if I have to be carried there on a stretch er." He is to leave his home here Wednesday for a series of meet ings which will followup his New York crusade of this summer. Graham was in a pasture to feed apples to the three Suffolk sheep he recently purchased as pets for his children when the ram went into action. The first blow started Graham down the hillside. The an imal followed and struck him twice more as Graham tumbled down the rocks. Graham, who had an ax in his hand as he was examining the sheep, used the handle to hold the ram at bay while he crawled through the pasture fence to safe ty. He was reported running a a slight temperature last night, and the leg was badly swollen. He was treated at his home by his father-in-law, Dr. L. Nelson Bell.

Appearing in the Circuit court of Judge Charles Foster, Hibdon admitted the charge and asked that an attorney be appointed for him. Judge Foster assigned Rob ert Welch as counsel. Hibdon was captured after al most a week of search in the vi cinity of Paisley. He was appre hended at a motel near La Pine, more than 100 miles north of Paisley.

Legislative Session Fight Due Over $42 Million Gap In Rival Tax Slash Plans By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM ( The inter-party struggle in the legislative special session, which opens a week from Monday, involves 42 million dol lars. That is the essential difference in the tax relief programs of the two parlies. With an estimated general fund surplus of S69.605.650 as of next June 30, Gov. Holmes and his fel low Democrats want to reduce tax es about 17 million dollars in the current biennium. The Republicans want to out tax as by 59 millions. Republicans argue that most of the surplus which is the biggest in the state's history should be given back to the taxpayers in or der to keep the Democrats from spending it. Gov. Holmes contends that to re turn anything like 59 millions to the taxpayers would cripple the 1959 legislature and make it im possible to provide such things as new state institutiona and college buildings. Ha says that if the Re publican program is approved, tha tpKiinn wntiM ha InrnnA , increase taxes in order to pro vide essential state services. The governor's more modest tax reduction program probably will be approved by the House, where the 1 Democrats have 36 to 24 control l Rut in the Senate split 15-15 i between the two parties it might ' be impossible for either plan to be High Court Again Hits Segregation Review Refusal Death Blow To Virginia's Placement Statute WASHINGTON I The Su. preme Court dealt a death blow Monday to Virginia pupil place ment act. The tribunal did so by refusing to review a decision in two school segregation cases in which the state's 1U56 placement law was declared unconstitutional. The decision, dealing with pupil placement act tests in Norfolk and Newport News, was given by U. S. District Judge Walter E. Hoffman of Norfolk and was af firmed by the U. S. Circuit Court in Richmond. The refusal to review the de cision lets it stand unchanged. The Supreme Court's refusal was announced in a brief order which gave no reason and made no com ment. School officials of both Norfolk and Newport News, joined by the' state s attorney general, had ap pealed. In the Virginia placement law test, the Virginia officials contend ed the action of the lower courts "makes even more difficult of so lution the most difficult social problem presented to the people oi tnis country m eigm aecaaes. Chan To Bar Ended The appeal said Judge Hoffman acted "with undue impetuosity" and said the cases gave the Su preme Court an opportunity "to lead a large section of our country out of the chaos into which the (1954) decision (against compul sory school segregation) has plunged it."' The appeal added: "The time has come for the Supreme Court to recognize and exDound the practicalities of life in these areas and to establish a framework within which public education can continue. The Virginia pupil placement act removed power to assign pu- nils from local school boards and division superintendents and con ferred the authority on a pupil placement board. The appeal said the board Was authorized to act on stated bases, "none in any way involving race or color. The Circuit Court said the act provided no adequate remedy to Negroes because of the fixed pol icy of Virginia school officials on segregation ana necause anotner act of the Legislature calls for closing of schools and withdrawal of state funds upon any departure from segregation. CDUF Donations Reach About 15 Pet. Of Coal The Central Douglas United Fund today reached about IS per cent of its goal of $64,444. Don O'Neill, executive secretary, said that the total pledges and contributions turned in amounted to $9,281.60 this morning. The re port is thought to be incomplete, since many division chairmen haven't turned in their solicitations. .The lumber division, headed by Lloyd Crenshaw, was credited with donations of $3,800. Second was the department stores division, led by Lowell Khoden, with $1,145. Vie Bakala's automotive division turn en in $967. 50; Al Parr's utilities $685; and Howard Peterson's fi nance, $600. passed. Consequently, it looks like the tax reduction may he aome where between the two plans. Basis School Aid At Issue The Republicans also want to re peal the law under which the state, whenever other revenues fall short, could levy a 6-mill slate property tax. Most Demoorata, including the Governor, want this law retained in case of emergency. Oregon hasn't had to levy a state properly tax since 1940. Part of the Governor's plan la to reduce property taxes by increas ing basio school aid to local dis tricts to $105 per school census child per year. The 1957 Legisla ture increased it from $80 to $95. $120 basic school fund apportion ment, and they will demand that the leigslators approve it at the special session. ' The effect of the Governor'a plan would he lo cut property taxes sbout S per cent, and to reduce income ttfxes about 6 per cent. Neither party has come forth yet with detailed proposals on how to achieve income tax reduction, that is, they haven't decided which classes of taxpayers would get the most relief. Other Issues May Arise Gov. Holmes, when he announced Aug. 23 that the special session would he called, said the session would hnlimited to lax relief. He has stuck by his guns, even inform Pleas To Place Teamsters Union Under Receivers Nov Being Heard By Judge Letts WASHINGTON UP) Federal District Judge F. Dickinson Letts refused .Monday to lift his order restraining James R. Hoffa from taking over as president of the Teamsters Union. Letts then went ahead with a hearing on pleas to eon vert the restraining order into a preliminary injunction against Hoffa and to put the l'2 million-member Team sters Union under court receivers. . , . ..... Bakery Union Head Also In Racket Quiz CLEVELAND 11 A national conference of Bakery Workers Union members, called by Inter national Vice President Harry Friedman of Cleveland, voted con fidence Sunday in the union's president, James Q. Cross of Washington. But outside the downtown hotel where the conference took place some 150 other members of the union carried picket signs and yelled in football-cheer fashion: "Go, go, go Cross!" Cross' conduct in his union office has been investigated by the Senate Rackets Committee, and the AFL-CIO Executive Coun cil has ordered the union's lead ers to appear Friday to say what has been done to remedy alleged corrupt practices. An unsatisfac tory answer could lead to the expulsion of the 138,000-member Bakers union irom tne Ar-uiu. Anti-Cross forces, led by four of the Bakers union s 17 vice presidents, supplied the picketing crews here Sunday. They said 40 to ' 45 large locals were repre sented on the picket lines. A few delegates, some of whom came from points as distant as Fargo, N.D., refused to pass tne pickets to enter the hotel. Douglas GOP Names Candidate Preferences Douglas County Republicans ten tatively checked the direction of the political wind Sunday at an open house at party headquarters in KoseDurg. The names oi several men tne county GOP members would like to see as candidates for office next November were made public aft er a straw ballot. If the wishes of the straw voters hold true, then James B, Beding- field of Coos Bay will run on the GOP ticket for U.S. representa tive. State Treasurer Sig Unander will run for governor: Dudley C, Walton for state representative from Douglas County; and Don Sanders for district attorney. Robert G. Davis was named for a non-partisan office that of cir cuit judge. It's expected that the circuit bench will be vacated at the end of 1958 by Judge Carl E. Wimberly. He sail) publicly about two years ago that he wouldn't run again. Several other persons were mentioned as possible candidates for one office or another: Al Joel son, Claude Esselstrom, Ray Doer ner. Morris C. Bowker was liked to succeed himself as county as sessor. There was a scattering of names for a second state representative and for county commissioner, ac cording to Russell C. Cary, who aided in arranging the open nouse. The open house was sponsored by the Douglas County Republican Club. Cary said the club probably would make recommendations of candidates for office later in the year. About 100 persons showed up at the party headquarters, located at 819 SE Douglas Ave. ing stale departments that thev must not introduce bills on other subjects. Both parties have gone along with this single-purpose idea in the hopes that the session might be finished in a couple of weeks. The lawmakers feel they already have donated enough time to the 4ite this year in their 128-day ret&ir session which was the longest in nisiory. The legislative leaders are set ting up the machinery so that nuth. ing can be considered except tax rcnci. However, there are demands for consideration of other subjects. For instance, U.S. Sen. Richard L. Ncu berger and some other Democrats want a state power commission created. Secrotary of Slate Mark Hatfield wants authorization to build a slate motor vehicle building on the capi tal mall. And the Oregon Fann ers Union wants a new law to pre vent double taxation In some rural school districts. The special session will be an other chapter of a tax dispute that started in 1955, when the Republican-controlled legislature passed a 45 per cent surtax on top of the regular income tax. When the Democrats won control of the state government in 1956, many political observers felt that i (Continued on Page I Col. 5) Plaintiffs in the case are a group of rank and file New York Teamsters members. They claim the recent Teamstera convention which elected Hoffa to succeed Dave Beck was illegal. Letts quickly denied four mo tions argued by Teamsters Atty. mama u uunognue. ine motions would have dismissed the existing restraining order and put the case down for trial on its merits. O'Donoghue said Letts had act ed improperly in granting the re straining order last week after a ciosea neanng in the court's cham bers without notice to the union and without giving union attorneys a chance to be present. ' O'Donoghue said this violated one of the canons of the American Bar Assn. limiting issuance of re straining orders without opposing counsel being present only to the most urgent cases dictated by dire necessity. Beck Still In Chair Chairman McClellan (D-Ark) of the Senate committee contend more than half the convention dele gates were illegally chosen. He said one of the delegates who par. ticipated in the convention actual ly was not elected formally by his local union as a delegate until a week after the convention ended. He did not name the delegate. Dave Beck, the union's rplirln president, also accused of corrup tion in Senate committee tesli- mony, has announced he is hold ing up plans to step out in Hoffa 's ' favor pending the outcome of the court cnauenge. In an answer to the contentions of the plaintiffs, the union had challenged the right of the court to intervene in the political affairs of a private organization. The Union rnnienHorl m,1.;ia there may have been violations of a number of union constitutional provisions over electing and seat ing delegates, this was cured by a ruling from Beck waiving thpa constitutional provisions under the union president's power to inter pret uie constitution.
