2 Tho Ntwi-Roviow, Roseburg, Oro. Wed. Aug. 20, 1958 Ioto Faubus' To Afieet -Wish Little Umk loara Hints At Calling Legislature If Session Fails LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Gov. Orval E. Faubus and three Arkansas Legislative leaders will meet with the Little Rock School Board tonight to discuss the inte gration problem. Faubus indicated that unless the board takes some action quickly la forestall the return of Negro pupils to Central High School Sept. 2, the Legislature probably will be called into special session next week. The governor took time out to comment on President Eisenhow er's implied warning that federal troops might again be used to en force integration if circumstances warranted it. "What Mr. Eisenhower and many others who express similar viewpoints fail to realize is that they are supporting a court de rision which is not constitutional and there are millions of people in every section of the country wno know it, f aubus said. Coolness Noted The meeting with the board was set up in a conversation between Sunt, of Schools Virgil Blossom and the governor, who have been publicly critical of each other. A coolness between the board and the governor has been appar ent since last fall when Blossom blamed Faubus for much of the Central High trouble. Faubus refused to be pinned down on an expected special ses sion of the Legislature but did say only action of the board can pre vent a special session and time is getting snort. , Blossom said the board planned .to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in the Little Rock case and would ask the St. Louis Ap peals Court to stay its decision which wiped out a 2'4-ycar delay in integration.

There were signs legislative leaders were redoubling their ef forts to adjourn later this week. Senate Democratic Leader Lyn don B. Johnson of Texas announced plans for an early test vote on the Jenner-Butler bill, which is aimed at offsetting the impact of recent Supreme Court decisions involv ing communism.

SO MUCH DOWNRIGHT VAIUE IN A SAlEt W VAC KM.W EST'S ' ' VCin T TTvTTTn IN THE CORNER OF HOTEL UMPQUA TV 1. MA Phone OR 2-3602 President Sees Test Ban Accord As Groundwork WASHINGTON (AP)-President Eisenhower said today tentative agreement by East-West scientists on ways to police a nuclear test ban is the sort of thing that could lay the groundwork for a summit conterence. His news conference statement was in response to a question. Eisenhower said the agreement which he said may be signed inursaay, is most encouraging and raises hope for more impor tant steps toward easing cold war tensions. The United States welcomes any constructive step in this direction, he added. The Soviet-Western agreement on means of setting up a global monitoring network came in sev en weeks of secret talks now draw ing to an end in Geneva. There was no effort by the 16 scientists trom four Western and four Communist nations to reach any political decisions on whether there should be an agreement to halt nuclear testing. However, American officials said the Kremlin can be expected to point to the Geneva agreement as committing the United Slates lo end tests. The interpretation has been re jected in advance by President Ei senhower. The American position, as set forth in (he past by Eisenhower and secretary of state Dulles, is that any agreement by East-West scientists might lead to suspen sion of testing, but that the United states refused lo be bound in ad vance. France Throws Support Behind Western Plan By MAX HARRELSON UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. (AP) Foreign Minister Maurice Couve d'j Murville today threw France's full support behind a Western plan to hand the Middle East problem over to Dag Hammarskhold. The French diplomat, who ar rived here only Tuesday, urged the emergency U.N. General As sembly to place its confidence in the secretary general and leave it lo him to find ways lo ease tension. Courve de Murville' addressed tne 81-nation body as intense be hind-the-scenes activities contin ued on behalf of rival Middle East plans. Seek Impressive Vote The Western resolution, backed by Norway and six other small countries, apparently had enough support to give it the required two-thirds majority, but its spon sors were trying to roll up an im pressive vote. India, Ceylon and several other Asian countries were pressing a rival plan calling for the early withdrawal of U.S. troops from Lebanon and British forces from Jordan.

President Doesn't Consider He's In Political Camp With Opponents Of Views Geddes Strongly Criticizes Demos Strong criticism of Gov. Robert D. Holmes, Howard Morgan, Pub lic Utilities Commissioner, and Rep. Charles O. Porter was level ed Monday at Medford by Paul E. Geddes, Republican candidate for Congress from the 4th District. At a GOP picnic, Geddes claim ed the officials were "shirking their responsibilities by failing to take a stand on the reduced freight rates proposed by Southern Paci fic." He went on to rap what he termed their "ridiculous position of neutrality" and said "Holmes, Mor gan and my opponent should not talk about a lack of job opportun ities and high-cost transportation, then turn their backs upon an op portunity to do something about them." President Says Citizens Must Obey The Courts (Continued From Page One) sponsibility of the federal govern ment in such an event. My feel ings are exactly as they were a year ago." Eisenhower recalled he had said at that time: "The very basis of our individ ual freedoms rests upon the cer tainty that' the President and the "execitive branch of government will support and insure the carry ing out of the decisions of the fed eral courts." Eisenhower said he continues to insist that tile common sense of the individual and a feeling of civic responsibility "must even tually come into play if we are to solve this problem." The integration statement came at the outset of the news confer ence. After reading it rapidly and emphatically, the President an nounced he would have nothing further to say on the subject in view of still pending litigation in the courts. However, he did lift that em bargo momentarily a bit later in saying it mid be wrong and would complicate his job for him to say how he stands on the in tegration issue. Eisenhower dealt with Ihcse other topics: DF'ENSE Eisenhower said he believes U.S. defense forces are not only adequate but ' the most powerful in American his tory. They act as a deterrent to war. as th.y are intended, he added. New inventions constantl; make them even more powerful, Eisen hower said. But he went on to say he does believe that in certain de fense areas the government is spending too much. He did not specif ; those areas. PRICES A reporter told Ei senhower some people Ihink he has not displayed vigorous enough leadership in trying to hold down prices. r.isenhowe. said, as he has many times, that the only tilings he can do are appeal to business nd labor lo keep the waee pnee spiral in check, and try to make sure government spending does not get out of line. Price and wane controls. Eisen hower said, would lead to a con trolled economv. He said he is not vet ready to suggest to anyone that a system of controls should be imp..sed. GENEVA Discussing the East West agreement at Geneva on po licing of any nuclear lest ban, Ei senhower said it provides grounds to hope we will be able to take still another step toward eventual disarmament RED CHINA Eisenhower said that in his opinion it is not neces sary to include Red China in any agreement. Mich as the technical one reached at Geneva, on polic ing of a nuclear test ban. By FRANK CORMIER i V'SHINGTON (AP) President Eisenhower said today he could not consider himself in the same political camp with any Congress member at odds with him over three major pieces of legislation. The measures: Reciprocal trade, foreign aid and defense legisla tion. Eisenhower told a news confer ence he regards them as absolute ly vital. Therefore, he said, he could not feel close political kinship with anyone completely opposed to his views on these questions. The President had been asked whether he would decline to cam paign this fall for any Republican Congress members who balked at these bills. Made Point Before Eisenhower didn't go that far. He said he has made the point before that no one vole or expres sion would make it impossible for him to ever support any political figure. Asked whether he has any plans to take pa,rt in the ca. paign, Eisenhower replied he had no detailed plans and no specific projects. But, he added, it would be strange if he didn't have some thing to say during the course of the big contest for control of the House and Senate. Another questioner asked Eisen hower to appraise the passage by Congress of a farm bill which the newsman said closely parallels the policies of Secretary of Agri culture Benson. Policies Have Sense TL- President said he believes the Congress members are learn ing that Benson's policies often attacked by Democrats during past campaigns have a lot of sense in them and are good for the country. Eisenhower also was asked a question about former President Harry Truman whom he hasn't seen since his inauguration day. Might it be advisable, he was asked, to include Truman and other former presidents as mem bers of the National Security Council. Eisenhower said Truman had Witness Links Teamster Baker With Gov. Harriman (Continued From Page One) escape questioning in a waterfront killing there, and added: "I don't think he could go back until after Gov. Harriman was elected." Baker's former wife, Mollie Biker, had testified similarly Tuesday. She said Baker had fled after the killing of Anthony Hintz, a pier boss. The senators have heard testi mony earlier of .associations be tween Baker and Eddie (Cock eyed) Dunn, a mob leader who was convicted in the Hintz case and executed. Giggles On Stand ulrs. Brougher. who often gig gled as she spoke, laughed out right as she testified she knew Baker had served jail terms one of them "for killing Joe Pen ncr's duck." Penner was a famed comedian. So was the duck he used in his act. Mrs. Brougher said Baker (old her he had served time for killing the duck. "I think by throwing a slink bomb on the stage of a thea ter " She said she also knew that as r.non as Baker got out of jail, in that case, he borrowed some hood lum's car, "went to the waterfront and whipped the man who had testified against him." Mrs. Brougher's testimony men tioning Harriman unfolded under questioning by Robert F. Kennedy, committee counsel, and Sen. Karl E. Mundt (RSD). Mundt asked what connection Harriman's election could have with whether Baker could go back to New York. "Very Friendly" "1 never asked him," she said, hul added that Baker's letters and his conversations with her convinced her "they were very friendly." Harriman has said Baker did some presidential nomination campaigning for Harriman in 1952 and 1956, hut that he has no rec ollection of talking to Baker and that they never were friends. Baker, a 300-pound aide to Teamsters boss James R. llnffa, was expected to follow Mrs. Brougher to the witness stand, and to face questioning, among other things, about the where abouts of the missing $300,000 of Greenlcase kidnap ransom. had a very great and tough ex perience of his own as President, but added he wouldn't talk about personalities. He went on to say the Security Council is solely an advisory group and that he can and has called in people from various walks of life to sit in witn u. How ever, he said he doesn't think it is necessary to expand the Secur ity Council on a permanent basis. Sodomy Charged To Winston Man Sheriff's deputies arrested a 44-year-old machinist Tuesday night at his Winston home on a private complaint alleging sodomy with a Dillard youth, 14. Booked was Walker Howard Meeker who allegedly lured the boy into his house last Sunday night. The youth, in a statement to Sheriff Ira C. Byrd, said Meeker attempted to use hypnotism to con trol his actions and force him to commit perversion. "I pretended to be hypnotized," the youth stated. He said further he went through with the act be cause "I was afraid he (Meeker) might hurt me." The complaint has been filed in district court. Meeker is expected to be arraigned Thursday by Judge Carl E. Wimberly, currently acting for District Judge Warren A Woodruff. Woman Critical From Burns After Car Catches Fire Listed as in critical condition in a CanyjnvUle hospital, is Velma Carr, 42, Anchorage, Alaska, who was badly' burned Tuesday when her ditched car burst into flames. She suffered second and third degree burns over approximately 35 per cent of her body in the blaze. Gasoline ignited some time after she had wrecked the car on Glendale Road about three miles east of Glendale. Mrs. Carr, the daughter of Mrs. David T. Marlin of Sutherlin. had escaped injury when the car went into a ditch and had returned to the scene after a wrecker was summoned. A truck driver had taken hr to Azalea to call a wreck er and had brought her back to the accident scene. He said he had advised her not to get into the car because of spilled gasoline and then left to get Do glas County Deputy Sheriff Ralph Haggard. When they ' re turned, they said, she was in the car. While she was in the car, gaso line exploded, setting fire to her clothing. Haggard and the wreck er driver said they believed the fire was started when she lighted a cigarette.

Carter of Roseburg has resigned from the state Chiropo dists Examining Board, and Gov. Robert D. Holmes appointed Dr. George McCauley, Portland, to succeed him. The term ends Jan. 2, 1959. Hutcheson Slated For Ouster From AFL-CIO Council FOREST PARK, Pa. (AP) Carpenters Union President Mau rice A. Hutcheson, under fire on corruption charges and cited for contempt of Congress, is reported due for ouster from the AFL-CIO hierarchy. Top AFL-CIO sources predicted today Hutcheson will be asked to supply an explanation of his re fusal to answer U. S. Sen ate Rackets Committee questions about expenditurn of union funds. Fellow labor chiefs said private ly they expect Hutcheson to re fuse the demand and probably re sign as a member of the AFL-CIO Executive Council, the federa tion's top policy-making group. The council members already have figured on Hutcheson's res ignation in selecting Painters Un ion President Lawrence M. Raf terv, 'Lafayette, to replace James Petrillo, resigned Musicians Un ion president. There is an informal under standing that when and if Hutch eson. a building trades leader, leaves the council his successor will be from the building trades union group, as was Petrillo. It was learned, moreover, that the AFL-CIO plans to launch la bor's own investigation of Hutch eson's Carpenters Union lo deter mine whether the union should be ousted from the federation for corruption. Hutcheson has been charged in Senate hearings with mishandling union funds in paying for a book lauding him and his father, the late William (Big Bill) Hutcheson, and with profiting in Indiana's road right-of-way deals. The net effect would be to keep the proportional representation of the building trades the same as in the past. Painter Raftery, suc ceeding musician Petrillo, would counterbalance a nonbuild ing trades successor for carpenter Hutcheson.
