2 The Newi-Rtviw, Roitburg,
10 Years In Prison
Meted Timid G!
On Desertion Count
By HARVEY HUDSON
VKRDUN, France (AP) An
Army court-martial Friday sen
tenced Wayne Powers, the 01 who
hid out for 14 years .with his
French common-law wife, to 10
years imprisonment alter he
pleaded guilty to a charge of war
time desertion.
The 37-year-old father of five
children shook his bald head in
disbelief as the sentence of the
eight-man court was read.
The sentence now goes lo Brig,
flen. Robert J. Fleming, the area
commander, who could reduce the
sentence considerably. It was be
lieved Powers pleaded guilty un
der a pre-trial agreement provid
ing for a light sentence.
Powers himself said before the
trial started that if everything
went "the way it should," he
would be back home "in a month
or two." He is a native of chilli-
rothe. Mo., but home is the vil
lage of Mont d'Origny, near the
Belgian border, where he lived
with his five children and their
French mother, Yvette Beleuse
Expect Short Term
The defense attorneys I.t.
James Singleton of Detroit, Mich.,
and Lt. Leon Avakian of Newton,
Mass. also expressed belief be.
fore the trial started that Powers
' would get off with a light sen
fence. The maximum penalty is
death.
Yvetle and the children were in
court after delaying the start of
the brief trial by hall an hour.
The mother insisted on giving the
children a good breakfast first.
The court was headed by Col.
Hoy, Kauffman of Memphis, Tenn.
Powers' strange tale started in
1944, when he was 23 and a pri
vate first class driving a truck
with the Army in France. His
truck disappeared and he faced
court-martial.
Powers escaped from the Army
stockade and went for help and
solace to Yvette, whom he had
met before. That was Ihe begin
ning of a bizarre life which con
tinued for 14 years.
They settled down together with
out marrying. Powers had a wife
in Missouri who later divorced
him for desertion.
He ventured out only at night.
When the doorbell rang, he ran
to a cramped hiding place under a
stairway with a false step.
The villagers saw almost noth
ing of Powers but kept close track
of each new baby with an English
name Dorothy, Tilly, Douglas,
Harry and Freddy.

Flier Sets Record
But Stops Flight
Short Of His Goal
SEATTLE (AP) - Near ex
haustion but still pushing on, Ma
rion (Pat) Boling passed over the
Seattle area at 10:15 a.m. (PST)
Friday on his record flight from
Manila and headed for a landing
at Yakima, 130 air miles away.
Boling expected to reach that
south central Washington city in
his single engine plane about 11:15
a.m. about 45 hours and 6,895
miles from takeoff.
Four hours earlier he had re
ported over Northern Vancouver
Island he had a rough engine and
was fighting weariness.
The Manila-Yakima distance is
nearly 2,000 miles better than the
4,957;mile record mark set by the
late Capt. Bill Odom in 1949 on a
flight from Honolulu to Teterboro,
N.J.
Boling picked up an escort of
Royal Canadian Air Force and
U.S. Coast Guard planes over Van
couver Island after he had report
ed his engine was running rough.
They accompanied him to this
area and reported that in conver
sations with the 43-year-old Cali
fornia airline pilot be sounded ex
tremely tired.
Boling's pretty wife, Joyce, and
nine-year-old son, Kevin, who had
been waiting for him at Boise,
Idaho, flew this morning to Yak
ima lo be the first to greet him.
The durable distance flier had
I planned to continue on lo Boise
I but his 'engine trouble and head
winds caused him to revise his
plans.
Boling took off from Manila,
heavily loaded with gasoline, pro
visions, emergency gear and a
Bible, at 6:10 a.m. Thursday (2:10
p.m. PST Wednesday) in his
bright orange Beechcraft Bonanza
the same make plane in which
Odom set the previous record for
single-engine craft.
Earlier Friday a Royal Cana
dian Air Force plane joined him
over Texada Island on the British
Columbia coast and accompanied
and guided him south.
His wife had set out much of
her husband's epic ai Boise. His
position was reported to her reg
ularly. The Palo Alio, Calif., airman
shattered the 'old nonstop flight
record for single-engine aircraft
late Thursday night as his plane
cruised steadily through the black
night high above the Gulf of Alas
ka 76 miles east of Cold Bay, at
the base of the Aleutian Islands.
Later he flew the Anchorage
Seattle airline route' along the
west coast of British Columbia.
An earlier radio report from the
43-year-old flier, who took off at
.Manila at 2:06 p.m. PST Wednes
day, said he would try to reach
Boise. AI that lime his aircraft
was handling normally and its
flight was aided by 15-knot tail

School for Boys. He said money
spent to straighten youngsters out
rather than having to pay for them
in prisons "is a good investment."
P rob lam Is Big
Davis also used some figures to
emphasize the size of the problem
facing the country in the area of
juvenile delinquency. He quoted J.
Edgar Hoover as saying that 42
per cent of all arrests for felonies
are of people under 18 years. Of
that 42 per cent, half are under 15.
Turning to the state level, he
cited the lowering pi the average
age of criminals in the Oregon
Slale Penitentiary in the last two
years from 32 to 23.2. In Douglas
County, he pointed out that one
year's record showed 63 adult and
319 juvenile arrests.
"If it is not critical, the problem
is serious." Davis said.
The young lawyer took a strong
stand for solid community pro
grams for youth. He said the value
of these is shown by Drain'a low
juvenile delinquency rate as com
pared to Winston-Dillard's high
one. The first, he said, has a strong
vouth urogram in which both adults
and juveniles participate. The oth
er has practically none, tie saia
juvenile delinquency is a "com
munity ill" which must be corn-
batted by the community.
Cities Combatting Methods
He cited community youth pro
grams, a youth work camp for
young offenders and more foster
homes of ways ot combating ae
linauency.
Davis outlined the aims of the
Advisory Council he heads to show
what it is doing to improve the
conditions which may help save
young lives. Among- mem is tne
campaign to secure a Civilian Con
servation corps type camp lor
boys, more fosler homes to care
for delinquent teen-agers and cor
relation of organizations working
with youth in communities to form
an integrated youth program.

Early Day Scrape With
Indians Is Recounted
(Continued From Page One)
IL stands now as an integral part
o( early Myrtle Creek history and
an interesting glimpse into Can
yonvilie's background as well.
The hero of the story is buried
in the old Canyonville cemetery
atop the hill behind Forest Gieh
Hospital. Jesse and Jane Roberts
arc buried nearby.
Mrs. Gazley tells the story Ihis
way:
Indians had been a bit trou
blesome and settlers along Myrtle
Creek had assembled at Fort Rob
ens for safety.
Jesse's adopted Indian boy hur
ried back from a fishing trip one
afternoon to warn the occupants of
the fort that this was the night
the Indians planned lo attack.
Following Ihe counsel of Ihe
young Indian boy, women and rhil
; dren lay quietly on the floor while
; tne men stood with their guns toad
I ed and ready to fire. The firing
i signal was to be a simulated night
ov. i - noot Irom the boy.
Counts Shadows
Cautioning all to remain quiet,
Ihe young brave stole into the
darkness and slipped into a well
outside the fort. In the pale moon-
i light he counted the approaching
i shadows. He lost count after 12.
Inside, the settlers were surpris
: ed to hear Ihe sound of voices
I first in English, then in Indian
jjaigon. Then, miraculously, Ihe
sounds died away.
Once inside, he calmly announc
ed lo Jesse Roberts that the In

Breakthrough
In Missilery
Reported By AF
INGLEWOOD. Calif. i A ma
jor breakthrough in missilery was
announced today by Maj. Gen. Ber
nard A. Schriever, commander of
the Air Force Ballistic Missile Di
vision. The development: An all-inertial
guidance system months, per
haps years, sooner than the Air
Force had hoped.
The Air Force has been using
radio-controlled inerlial guidance
systems for its missiles. All-inertial
guidance frees missiles from
any need for control from the
ground, with these big advantages.
Can't Be Jammed
1. Such missiles cannot be "jam
med1 'by the enemy radio and ra
dar and thus "diverted from their
target.
2. Missile bases using the all
inertial guidance system can be
dispersed easily and hidden from
enemy detection. Underground bas
es will not be betrayed by the pres
ence of antennae.
3. Millions or even billions of
dollars can be saved through con
struction of less-elaborate ground
facilities.
4. Space ships, the big brothers
of today's missiles, will be able
to guide themselves far beyond the
range of radio and radar. Up to
now, space-trip plans have been
limited to Mars and Venus because
radio guidance needed to keep
space ships oriented with earth
will not reach much father. The
new breakthrough means a space
ship can use any object in the
heavens as an orientation point.
Direction Controlled
What is inertia I guidance?
It's a system of controlling the
direction of a missile or rocket
which uses gyro-stabilizers similar
to the spinning toys familiar lo
children since World War 1. Start
the gyro whirling and it remains
stable no matter how you hold it
or toss it around.
A series of such gyros is used in
inerlial guidance systems. In radio-controlled
systems, variations
in speed and direction are correct
ed by sending signals to the mis
sile. The all-inertial missile carries
its own computer which automa
tically makes the changes needed
to keep the missile on course.
I The all-inertial system has al
ready proven a success in labora
Itory and rocket sled tests. Flight
: tests are expected to begin next
I year.
Awesome Atomic Blast
Is Seen From Hawaii
(Continued from Page 1)
must have had a million calls
about it at least.a thousand."
Sets Blast Clearly
Mrs. Randolph Diamond said
that from her home in an outlying
distirct of Honolulu she saw the
flash "very bright, and there was
a mushroom cloud."
She said the family filled bath
tubs with water in accord with
civil defense instructions.
All shipping and air traffic had
j been warned Thursday to stay clear
I of Johnston Island. The "stand
clear" order, embracing an area
within a radius of 550 miles from
i the island, was effective between
10 p.m. -Hawaii time, and 6 a.m
Friday.
I Several hours afler the lest
i shot, the Atomic Energv Com
mission in Honolulu announced
that a nuclear warhead missile
had been fired from Johnston Is
land. There was speculation in Wash
ington that the nuclear warhead
was whipped into the sky by an
Army Redstone ballistic missile.
It has a normal horizontal range
of about 2O0 miles. Fired straight
up. the Redstone probably could
gain a height of 100 miles. The
Redstone now is standard equip
ment for the Army. It is a surface
bombardment type missile.
The AEC announced in June il
had staked out an area within a
radius of 400 nautical miles
around Johnston because of forth
coming tests of short range mis
siles with nuclear warheads. It
also announced that air danger
areas would be established short
ly before each test.
Friday's explosion was the first
lime that any of the U.S. or Brit
ish nuclear tests in the Pacific
have been observed in Hawaii. Oth
er U.S. nuclear testing grounds in
the Marshall Islands are at least
i 2.000 miles from Honolulu and the
i British site at Christmas Island
lis more than 1,100 miles away.
I It was the 15th to be announced
! in the Pacific series that began
April 28. The other blasts have
occurred at the Fniwetok Atoll,
i roughly 1.500 to 1,700 miles south
I west of Johnston.
