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.

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.

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

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."

Old Plywood Mill

Declared Hazard
A report stating an old plywood
mill not in use is a fire hazard to
the city of Myrtle Creek was read
al a City Council meeting Tuesday
night.
The report was from the stale

hazard has to be corrected or le
gal action will be taken.
The mill, located behind business
buildings on 99BR in Myrtle
Creek, is owned by Umpqua Ply

quest the company to hire a full
time watchman and activate the
inside overhead sprinkler syslem.

with the right wind, fire could
sweep through most of the Myrtle
Creek business district.

the new ordinance Tuesday night,
F.uth Evans, News-Review corres
pondent, reports. A copy of the re
port is being sent to the company

holders and businessmen whose
establishments are next to the mill
