Teamster Elections
'Rigged,' Probe Told

treasurer. John F. English, which
counsel Kennedy denounced as
"completely false."
The records purported to show
that Local 447 had the seven as
paid-up members since January
1956. Kennedy said that canceled
checks show that dues payments
for the seven had not been re

until last April, months after the
seven cast their votes for Gibbons
and his slate as paid-up members.
McClellan said testimony from
Gibbons would be postponed at

Karsh invoked the Fifth Amend

Vernon F. Korhn, a carnival

Karsh appointed him president of
Local 447 just before the election.
Korhn said he then hand-picked
the other six officers of the local

at Karsh's expense to vote for Gib
bons. He said he knew nothing about
Teamster affairs in St. Louis and

Most of the hearing dealt with
Karsh's efforts to engineer labor
contracts with circuses and carni
vals, including the Ringling Bros.

was considerable mention of vio
lence in those organizing efforts.
The committee also heard how
the Teamsters and another union
set up a rival circus in Boston in
1956 in an effort to split the crowd
while Ringling was playing there.
However, the two unions lost heav

Forest Fire
Situation
Eased By Rain
Western Oregon Aided
In Battle; Fighters
Cain In Eastern Area
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ICain dampened Western Oregon
fo.ests today and for the first time
in weeks forest officials were op
timistic over' the fire situation.
Only one fire remained a dan.
ger the l.OOO-acre Canyon Creek
fire in the Willamette National
Forest near Detroit and even it
was stopped at least temporarily
by the rain.
Foresters said more than a third
of an inch of rain fell on the blaze.
Guy Johnson, fire control dis-i
patcher for the regional office of
the Forest Service, said, however,
that the fire will not be ronsid-,
ered under control until a fire line i
has been completed around the:
blaze. I
Rugged terrain has prevented
crews from completing Ihe fire
trail. Eight hundred men are
working at it, but the country is so
steep that they have had to call in
helicopters to get into some areas.
Winds Halt, Control Nearer
The rain did not reach Eastern
Oregon range fires, but crews al
ready had them under control any-;
way. !
John C. Hunt of the Bureau of
Land Management said winds
died down Thursday and enabled
fire fighters to get trails around
1 16,000-acre fire south of Vale and.
a 4.000-acre blaze about 35 miles
south of Baker.
A mopup crew of 25 men worked
today on the Vale fire, which de
stroyed much grass and browse,
Hunt said. A crew of 50 men is
mopping up the fire south of Baker
Known as the Shirttail Creek
blaze.
A week-old fire in the Rogue
River National Forest also was
controlled. It was south of Crater
Lake Park, in the Klamath Dis
trict. It destroyed seven acres of
timber along the Cascade summit.
It was five miles from the near
est road and it took a crew con
siderable time to reach the smold
ering blaze. Forty men were mop
ping it up today.

Out of Work, Needed Money
Branscum said he was desperate ;
financially at the tune. He had
boon injured in an industrial acci-l
dent and was unable to work "for
quite some time." His wife was !
employed as a waitress by Mrs.

Vt'.nston and Roseburg. I
Arrest of the pair this week fol-
lowed nearly two years of investi
gation carried on by the office of
Sheriff Ira C. Byrd in cooperation
with the Oregon State Police arson :
squad. '
Sheriff Byrd said testimony of
witnesses and peculiar circum-l
stances surrounding the fire led
his office to believe arson was in-
volved. Branscum said, at the !
lime, an exploding kerosene lamp!
caused the blare.
Monday, in cooperation with the
sheriff's office in Yakima a
Douglas County deputy and an ar-;
ion squad sergeant arrested Bran
scum on the streets of the Wash-
ington city. Mrs Peden was served
with a warrant and arrested in!
Roseburg Wednesday evening. She'
his been released after posting
$3,000 bail.
Has Good Air Force Record
Conviction of arson carries a
penitentiary sentence of from two
in 20 years. Judge Woodrich said
he handed out a minimum term
because of extenuating circum
stances. This was his first offense, he has
a large family to provide for, had i
a good service record in Ihe Air!
Force including time during the 1
Korean conflict, and cooperated!
fully and readily with police, the
judge said.
Sst. W. II McCullum of the
OSP arson squad told the court
Rianscum had been "most coop- j
erative and truthful "
'Ihe defendant waived right to'
an attorney at his arraignment.

mously Thursday to put a pro
posed charter amendment on the
Nov. 4 ballot, authorizing a five
million dollar project in the Bull
Run watershed.
The proposed amendment would
authorize an issue of general obli
gation bonds to finance gener
ating equipment at the existing
Bear Creek dam and a new now
under construction.

would generate 98 million kilowatt
hours a year If sold at a three
mill rate the power would help
refinance the bond issue at a
rate of 1294.000 a year, said Com

city-owned timber in the water

project, he said.

Vanguard Satellite
Skipped Orbit, Hit
S. Atlantic Area
WASHINGTON (AP) The Navy
said today the Vanguard satellite
launched from Cape Canaveral,
Fla., May 27, traveled 7.500 miles
into the South Atlantic instead of
going into orbit.
The 20-inch, 21Vi-pound sphere
and the 50-pound third stage of
the Vanguard rocket were intend
ed to reach an altitude to 300 or
400 miles and then to go into or
bit. Instead, the second stage lifted
the rocket to 388 miles, a naval
research laboratory report
showed.
The second stage engine failed
to cut off properly, causing the
rocket to fly with its nose at an
upward angle instead of parallel to
the earth.
The third stage, flying in a high
arc, fired at the wrong angle and
climbed to a peak altitude of 2,200
miles.
An Impact predictor device
showed that if the satellite suc
cessfully returned to earth it land
ed near the east coast of South
Africa. 7,500 miles from the
launching site. However, the lab
oratory was unable to determine
whether the sphere survived the
heat of its re-entry into the earth's
atmosphere, because radio sig
nals from it failed before that
point was reached.
