By BOB CLARK
News-Review Staff Writer
The 1958 version o the Douglas
County Fair opened for business
this morning with the usual opening-day
trickle ot fairgoers eyeing
exhibits ranging from a mobile
155-millimeter gun to tiny, delicate
flower arrangements.
Business was-slow, as is gener
ally the case on a weekday open
ing. But fair officials said crowds
would pick tip as the fair rolled
into its afternoon and evening fea
tures. Main activity this morning was
in the livestock department, as 4
II Club members participated in a
livestock judging contest. Judging
of 4-11 animals was slated to fol
low later in the morning and con
lintie into the afternoon.

livestock judging were Jay Binder,

Plane Shot Down
When Falcons Fire
During Practice
GRANDVIEW. Mo. (AP) High
ovtr western Missouri a jet plane
streaked northward toward . Kan
sas Wednesday. It was sjnidenti
tied, and thus presumed by the
Air Force to be an enemy.
At Richards-Gebaiir AFB here
on the southern outskirts of Kan
sas City, a sleek FJ02A jet took
off to intercept the invader.
Within minutes. 1st LI. Roland
Svane, 26. Seattle, and his inter-,
replor sighted the aggressor air
cidtl at 41.000 feet.
Svane attacked. Three Falcon
air-to-air missiles shot from the
interceptor toward (he target. One
of them hit the tail of the plane,
and the jet headed earthward. Its
two crewmen bailed out.
Tnfortunately, the enemy was a
T33 Air Force trainer and Svane's
attack was a routine practice ma
neuver. Routine, that is, until the
three missiles, which automatical

if they miss, were discharged.

Nuclear Test Control Meet
Ends With Agreement On
Detecting Weapons Tests
By MICHAEL GOLDSMITH
(JEN EVA (AP)-The East-West!
conference on nuclear lest control
I ended today after recommending
! a worldwide system of inspection I
I stations to police any future J
agreement lo ban nuclear weapon :
tests. !
The eight-nation conference held
a final for. rial session at which a
pari of Ihe technical agreement
reached was announced.
The seven-week conference was
conlined strictly to scientific ques
tions. The Western delegates were
instructed to hold no negotiations
: toward agreement on a test ban,
; hut only to make recommenda
tions to the governments on how
such a ban could be policed.
Advance word of the agreement
j was followed by a report in Wash
i ington Wednesday night that the
: United States is about ready to
announce a temporary suspension
' of nuclear weapons tests. The So
! Viet Union announced a unilateral
lest suspension last March The
third atomic-arms power, Britain,
ing. some exhibotors still worked
at final preparations.
In the same 'building, a theater
of portable chairs and bleachers
capable of seating several hun
dred spectators was ready for the
annual talent show and the 4-H

in the fair agenda.

A few fairgoers spilled over into
the carnival which was set up at
Ihe east side of the grounds. But
the show will not reach its peak
drawing power until evening hours.
The ferris wheel and other rides
were quiet this morning. .
Zoo Attracts Youngsters
A favorite attraction for the
younger set was the zoo, in the
southwest corner of the fair
grounds. "Blondie," the only live
albino porcupine in captivity, plus
lively squirrels, fawns and vari

Jordanian Court
Sentences Five
AMMAN I A Jordanian mili
tary court today convicted five
young Arabs of exploding bombs
in Amman and sentenced two of
them to death.
One of the defendants was a 19-year-old
girl, Nadia Salti. She got
a 7'-year sentence which was im
mediately commuted to three
years.
The death sentences were de
creed for Miss Salli's 22-year-old
fiance, Theodore Stephan; and
Ahmed Mahmoud Ibrahim, 22, an
employe of the Jordanian Health
Department who was charged with
leading the group.
Basil Hamati, 24, a photographer
for the U.N. relief agency, was
sentenced to 15 years. He was ac
cused of smuggling explosives into
Jordan on U.N. planes. A fifth de
fendant, Hamed lewfiq Sammour,
22, was sentenced to 10 years.
Another bomb went off in Bei
rut, lieoanon, tonay, inis one in a t
bus that had just reached Ihe Leb
anese capital from the southern I
port of Sidon. Five passengers j
were slightly injured.
Lebanese opposition leader Saeb '
Salam praised the four-point plan
worked out by Arab delegates to
the United Nations to bring peace
to the Middle East and hasten
troop withdrawals.
Some observers in Lebanon said
the compromise plan indicated
Lebanon's relations with Nasser
would smooth out after Gen. Fuad
Chehab succeeds Camille Cha
moun as president Sept. 24. The
plan was believed in Beirut to be
largely the result of contacts be
tween Nasser and opposition lead

of tests in the Pacific.
The experts urged that control
station staffs should have com
plete freedom of movement for
on -Ihe -spot investigations, and
that stations should he set up at
sea as well as on land.
An announcement said the com
bined use of Ihe various known
methods for detecting nuclear ex
plosions could make control of a
lest ban feasible "within certain
specific limils "
Tie announcement did not ex
plain these limits.
The conference's published find
ings did not recommend any def
inite number of cnnlrnl stations,
nor a maximum effective distance
between the stations.
The announcement listed the
following methods lo be used by
Ihe control stations: "collecting
samples of radioactive debris, re
cording seismic, acoustic and hv-
droacoustic waves, and the radio!
signal method, together wilh the
use of on-site inspection of uni
dentified events which might he
suspected of being nuclear explosions."

Arab Countries
Give Approval
To Peace Plan
By MAX HARRELSON
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)
The Arab countries, including
pro-Western Lebanon and Jordan,
today gave their final approval to
a Middle East peace formula ex
pected to bring a quick end to the
emergency session of the U.N.
General Assembly.
The plan, agreed on tentatively
Wednesday in a rare demonstra
tion of Arab harmony, appeared
headed for unanimous adoption in
the 81-nation Assembly.
The heads of the 10 Arab dele
gations agreed at a private meet
ing this morning to submit the
four-point resolution endorsed by
their governments in overnight
consultations.
The plan was an Arab modifica
tion of a Western-backed Norwe
gian resolution now pending before
the Assembly, and both contained
key points suggested by Secretary
General Dag Haminarskjold andr
President Eisenhower. But the
Arab resolution shied away from
specific endorsement of earlier pro
posals for either a U.N. police force
or more U.N. observers in the Mid
dle East.
Like the Norwegian resolution,
the Arab proposal calls on Ham
marskjold to make arrangements
lhat would permit withdrawal of
U.S. troops from Lebanon and
British forces from Jordan.
A new fealure is a reaffirma
tion of the Arab nations' pre
vious pledges not to interfere in
each others' affairs, pledges which
the Lebanese and Jordanian gov
ernments have charged President
Nasser's United Arab Republic
with ignoring consistently.

Foresters Casting
Wary Eye At Fire
Danger, Storms
Foresters and firefighters In
Douglas County are keeping their
fingers crossed because of present
high fire danger and predicted
thunderstorms. Positive action has
been taken by the state forester
who has ordered large areas clos
ed to logging operations.
Douglas County apparently was
free from fires this morning, with
both Umpqua National Forest and
Douglas Forest Protective Assn.
officials reporting "all clear." A
threat of a change in the picture
was seen In the DFPA weather
forecast from Salem: '
Predicted 30-35 relative humid
ity and thunderstorms today for
most of Douglas and Josephine
counlies. Thunderstorms are pre
dicted for this afternoon and eve
ning, diminishing Friday after
noon, the U.S. Weather Bureau of
fice in Salem informed the DFPA.
Result Of Hot Wtathtr
The extreme fire hazard result
ing from hot, dry weather caused
D. L. Phipps, state forester to or
der closure of 14 zones to power-
driven machinery in logging oper
ations.
His order excludes Ihe portions
of zones 14 and 17 which are in
the' Umpqua National Forest.
Zone 14 takes in most of Douglas
County except for Ihe extreme
western part and the southern
area. The southern portion is in
Zone 17.
The closures ordered by Phipps
affecting Douglas Counly involve
zones 10, 11, 12, 13 and 17. Zone
10 takes in the Bohemia Ranger
District; 11, the Smith River area;
12. the coast from the Umpqua
River 'southward; 13, the western
part of the counly.
The only fire reported in the
Roseburg area was a small grass
fire Wednesday afternoon at Sun
Studs about three miles south of
Roseburg on Highway 99Bh. The
blaze was quickly extinguished by
the Roseburg Rural Fire Depart
ment which reported it had been
slatted by hot ashes hauled from
the mill burner. Less than a quar
ter of an acre was burned in the
fire, the second fire at Sun Studs
I this week.
President Signs
Reciprocal Trade
Extension Measure
WASHINGTON (AP) President
Eisenhower has signed legislation
giving the reciprocal trade pro
gram four more years of life. It
is the longest extension ever
granted by Congress.
The administration had request
ed a five-year extension, but Ei
senhower made it clear in sign
ing the bill Wednesday that he was
quite happy with what Congress
provided.
Eisenhower said, the free na
tions, "are now assured of a con
tinuity in United States trade
policy lhat will make possible new
international negotiations to pro
mole mutually advantageous com
mercial exchange and increased
world productivity."
The four-year extension of the
24-year-old program is expected
lo give the government sufficient
power lo deal with future trade
problems arising from the new
European Common Market.
This is a union of France, Italy,
West Germany and the Benelux
countries in a common market
embracing some I till million con
sumers. Besides giving authority for Ihe
program to operate through June
30. 1962, the legislation provides
aamuonai powers to cul tariffs 20
per cent in return for like con
cessions from other nations.
The law also will now Dormit
Congress, by a two-thirds vole of
holh House and Senate, to sustain
recommendations of the Tariff
Commission for higher duties or
impoit quotas, even though the
rresiaeni may disagree.

Supreme Court
Decisions Hit
By Justices
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) Re
cent Supreme Court decisions
raise doubt that America has a
government of' laws and not of
men, chief justices of nine stales
allege.
1 hey accuse the nation s highest
court, of assuming the role of
policy maker without proper ju
dicial restraint.
The justices, representing both
Northern and Southern states,
presented the 36-page report
Wednesday to the annual Confer
ence of Chief Justices. Delegates
are present from the 48 slates,
Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
A resolution offered with Uie re
port urged the Supreme Court to
exercise judicial self-restraint in
differentiating between constitu
tional rights and powers on the
one hand and local self govern
ment on the other.
Long A Boast
The report said in part:
"lt has long been an American
boast lhat we have a govern
ment of laws, not of men. We be
lieve that any study of recent de
cisions of the Supreme Court will
raise at least considerable douhf.
as lo the validity of that boast.
"We find that in constitutional
cases unanimous decisions are
comparaive rarities, and the mul
tiple opinions . . . are common
occurrences. We find next that
divisions on a 5 4 basis are quite
frequent...."
The report s conclusions were
based on cases involving the 14th
amendment, which safeguards
civil rights.
The criticism or the high court
by the state chief justices came
while the U.S. Senate was em
broiled over proposals aimed to
modify the effects of recent ml
ings by the tribunal.
Senate Killed Bill '
Wednesday the Senate killed, 49

of Ihe bill were Sena. William E

Today the senators waded Into
a showdown fight over a states
rights measure already passed by
Ihe House, lt would specifically
restore the right of the states to
enforce their own sedition laws,
and generally forbid invalidation
of slate laws simply because fed

ground.
Open criticism of Ihe Suorame
