He had been a weak premier, and corruption, mismanagement and general drift in government had increased since he reluctantly took office as a front man for Sarit. Sarit himself had been out of the country for most of the year, undergoing treatment for a seri ous liver ailment resulting from heavy drinking. He was operated on in Washington last spring, and had been in England convalescing for the past three months. He re turned Sunday and went into se cret conferences from which the government overthrow resulted. Whether Sarit and hia junta will remain in control in name as well as fact still remains to he seen. His backers who prodded him into seizing power from Marshal P. Pibulsonggram last year have talked about writing a new con stitution along the lines of the new French charter, which gives France's President strong powers.

Formosa (API Secre tary of Slate Dulles and President Chiang Kai-shek opened their con ference today against a backdrop of renewed Red cannonading of Quemoy. After a 2'i-hour meeting be tween Dulles and Chiang, a State Departmert spokesman said that ".Mr. Dulles is not here to twist anybody's arm or apply any heat or pressure." The Defense Ministry, mean time, said Red guns from the mainland and adjacent islands stepped up the tempo of shelling this afternoon after lobbing over only a relatively few rounds this morning. The ministry said 3.313 shells hit Quemoy and its satellite islands, compared with more than. '" .uumiay. , ,,,., - . d . .u " But there was no doubt the ab- rupt Red decision 10 end the Com- munist-imposed cease-fire had an important bearing on the Dulles Chiang discussions. Joseph Greene, special assistant to Dulles, said Dulles' first con ference with Chiang was "a stock taking of the present situation." He said the political and military situation was being assessed along with Communist propaganda. tireene took this tack on reports that the United States might bring pressure on Chiang to cut down the off-shore islands in the hope 01 ootaimng a permanent cease- iire. He said applying heat or ores. sure "would not.be in tune with the relationship of mutual trust ana commence of the two coun tries as allies." Vice President Chn rh Chiang's right-hand man, de-' dared that to cut the size of the garrisons or 10 pull out 01 the off shore islands would "definitely ivnu iV large-scaie war. Chen told a rally in Taipei on Overseas Chinese Dar he was mu surprised that the Reda had brok en me cease-tire because all Com munist pledges are worthless.

Hatfield The qualitiet of leadership are found in the head and the heart. So said Mark Hatfield, Oregon secretary of state, as the featured sneaker at the banquet Monday night climaxing the all-day Region Student Council Workshop. The banquet, which drew about 250 high schoolers and student advisers from Southern Oregon, was held at the I'mpqua Hotel.

Effort Made At Solving Patio Issue Councilman To Further Study Matter To See If Violation Resulted By LLOYO ROGERS News-R.vi.w Staff Writer Roseburc's City Council enmnlei. ed a circle Monday night. The circuit was made in a spe cial meeting in which: 1. Municipal Judge Randolph Slocum's letter of resignation was handed back to him. 2. Prolonged discussion, war held on ways and means of recti fying the situation which Slocum to fire off the letter. 3. Councilmen agreed informally to go out to Slocum's house and 100s. at nis patio which eauaed all the ruckus and to have the city engineer delve into the problem " " can oeiermme a there has been a violation of the side line setback law. When the session opened with a bare majority of the council pres. v..o, n .a, uuvious inn consider- iiue grounawork had been done to find some means nf amnnihinff the hassle. Mayor Arlo Jacklin first handed Slocum his letter of resignation so a solution could be sought. Answer Is Sought What was wanted was an in. swer to this tangle which haa snarled the city judge, building in spector, city manager and eity fathers. The situation had been simmering for months with an oc casional public stirring in council meetings. It finally erupted a coupl. of weeka ago when Slocum dashed off a letter of resignation after learn ing that the possibility of hia being fired had been discussed in a coun cil committee meeting. Next he aired his views at what would have been a council meeting except that a quorum of councilmen was lacking- The whole thing started last spring when Slocum tore down an ' old garage and started to build a covered patio in its place. Build ing Inspector C. N. Currier spot led the work in progress and in- orniea ine judge he had not ob- imeu ine necessary permits one for demolishing the garage and another for erecting the patio. He also informed Slocum he waa in violation of the setback ordinance. Patio Completed ' "'"". Without a permit, Slocum com pleted his construction and Currier reported to the council that he had been unable to deal with the city judge and asked h.t ..u should be taken. At about this time, while Slocum was on va cation, his law partner applied for permits for Slocum. One for tear ing down the garage was granted by Currier but the TnlWmV.:. waa denied, because, saicf the in spector, it violated city law. A survey was ordered made by County Surveyor Fred Darby who located existing buildings and monuments. The survey did not puiport. Darby noted, to establish property lines. At MonH.v'. uig. Darby said he didn't think "ureiwood Addition (Slocum's nei.hhnrlowwl I .1J tablnti his property lines without sums uuo court. These factors remain the same: alocum Is iudem. ha han ed a building permit, tha council Honing ior a solution. Ne Chare Possible From the discussion at session these possibilities seemed to emerge: Slocum can't be charg ed with violating the setback law until it can be determined where the line is from which he is sup posed to set back. His structure, if it is properly separated from hia house could conform to the build ing ordinance. It might be called a garage or carport and left in tact. He might be charged and iuiea 1 or noi getting a permit. The cease-fir may come to halt at the next council meeting, Oct 27. The purpose of the special meet Ing was ended once Slocum's let ter had been returned to him. From then on the discussion waa admit- teaiy out ot order but went on any way. A special meeting must ad here to the purpose fur which it has been called, according to the city charter. This one was called to consider his resignation and appoint a new judge. No mention was mad of any possible suc cessor. Canyonville Company Bid Low On Road Job Chappcll Logging Co .
