OR 3-5056 Burn Victim's Story Falls Apart With New Evidence PONTIAC. Mich. i - The sket chy story that Teamsters Business Agent Frank Kierdorf gave after he stumbled into a hospital, burned almost from head lo foot, began falling apart today. At the same time, police had a warrant for the arrest of Kier dorf'i uncle, Herman Kierdorf, ei ther a vengeance - bent hunter or the fear - shaken prey of an anony mous telephone threat. Herman, a former Teamsters business agent, disappeared after swearing ne would get even with the people who his nephew said set him afire and left him, pain wracked and nearly naked, on a hospital lawn. While the 56-year-old Frank clung to a thin strand of life in a police guarded hospital room, Prosecutor Frederick Ziem said: Prior Medication "The man had prior medication before he ever came to the hos pital. Furthermore, there is no ev idence to back up his statement that he rolled in the grass lo put out the flames." Ziem based his conclusions on the word of a pathologist, Dr. Richard E. Olsen, who said he found traces of a salve on Kier dorf's neck and face that was not administered at the hospital. The new loopholes in Frank's story only piled higher the multi tude of unanswered questions. Why did he leave home Sunday night with two strangers? He said they told him it was union busi ness, but he later admitted be was wearing only a robe over trous ers and an undershirt. Who are John and Roger? He Chamber To Curb Solicitations Of Local Businesses Members of the Roseburg Cham- uer oi commerce Doard of direc tors Tuesday night voted lo pro mole a program to control donation solicitations from local merchants. Chamber Secretary - Manager Harold Reaume said pressure has been mounting to set up a solici tation control system because of the great number of demands for money donations being made by groups and organizations. He said large numbers of solici tations are made of business firms for donations, advertising and mer chandise which are "of question able value to the firms, either from an advertising or good-will view point." He said if they are not con trolled, they will cost "in the ag gregate many thousands of dollars each year." Plenty Good Projects He concluded that there are plen ty of legitimale and worthwhile projects and advertising media which business firms patronize and support, so there is no reason lo add further overhead by taking on the questionable ones. Placards showing the approved and not approved lists of solicita tions will be sent to all merchants so they may refer to them when I solicitations are made. And cards of chamber approval will not be issued to those on the "not ap proved" list. In other action, it was announced that efforts will be made by the Chamber to secure approval from the Douglas County Court to erect a sign in California urging tourists to come to the county. The county is paying for the sign. It had for merly been planned to set up the sig.i at the south end of the county, but Chamber directors decided the sign would come lo the attention of more potential tourists if it were set up near Weed, Calif. Plans for two meetings were made. The first is a Friday noon meeting of the Highway. Roads and Slreels Committee in the Ump qua Hotel. Members will discuss Ihe proposed Oak Avenue Bridge, Hose Street couplet and 'North Umpqua Highway. The second meeting planned will involve the chamber. County Court and City Council desisned to solidi fy relations among them. A dale has not been set. Leon Carl Davis Dies In Roseburg Hospital l.eon Carl Davis, 62.

Hatfield Continues Governor Campaign In Douglas County In his second day of campaign ing in Douglas Countv in 72 hours, Secretary of State Mark Hatfield, Republican candidate for gover nor, maintained a busy schedule of visiting mills and meeting with delegateions Tuesday. Hatfield spoke to the building trades and fire fighters conven tions Saturday but Tuesday was devoted to intensive personal cam paigning throughout the area. Although he has not been en dorsed by the official union sla'.e, Hatfield said he looks for "consid erable" backing among individual union members. "It is clear to me afler visiting wilh delegates that the rank-and-file union members will make up their minds on Lie basis of the candidate's record and qualifications," Hatfield said. Want Legislation "These individual union mem bers want some legislation that will give them protections such is required auditing of trust funds and secret balloting," Hatfield observed. "Oregon has been rela tively free of labor scandal but we can avoid it only by the rank-and-file participating more fully and actively in their organization's af fairs." Hatfield said that "it is ironic to find the unemployment commission fund for ntit.nf-slalo ir.vAl r,.i. two-year period depleted in half uiai ume ana to note that we spend twice Ihe amount for un employment officialdom we allot for travel4 of industrial develop ment ambassadors." He said Ihe tl9 ftnn frn TTnom ploy me nt Compensation Corti- iiiissiun oui-siaie travel is used up whereas the Department of Plan ning and Development has only $5,500 with which to travel bevorid Oregon seeking new jobs and'new industries.

ICC Doesn't Say Yes To Morse On Rate Hearing WASHINGTON (AP) The Inter state Commerce Commission did n't say "yes" to a request by Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) that it hold a hearing in Oregon on proposed new lumber freight rates. But it didn't say "no" either. The commission recently an nounced it would hold a hearing Aug. 18 in San Francisco on the requested cut in rates on lumber shipments from Oregon and Cali fornia into California and Arizona. Morse said he thought it would bo advantageous to the commis sion as well as to Oregonians if a supplemental session, could be held in some centrally located Oregon area. In his reply, ICC Chairman Howard Freas noted that it was not unusual for the commission to receive a number of requests for such hearings and that it would be impracticable to comply wiih all of them. Freas then continued: "It is likely that other requests similar to yours will be received, and considerable will be given to ail of them. Interested panics should not assume that a supole mental hearing will be granted, and should be prepared for hear ing at the assigned time and place. . . "Be assured, however, that eery consideration consistent with the commission's practice will be given to your suggestion." 4 Xitwgw! X.
