Scottsburg
Youths Found
By Searchers
Five Scottsburg youths who wan
dered into rough mountain country
north of Scottsburg were found
Jlonday afternoon after they were
reported missing Sunday.
The boys were Dennis Sherwood,
Stanley Dailey and John McLaugh
lin, all 17 years old, and Tom Ogle
and Leslie King, both 19. All are
from Scottsburg.
A widespread search was launch
ed for the boys. In on the search
was the Coos County Forest Patrol,
West Lane County Forest Patrol,
state police, the Douglas County
sheriff's office and about 50 volun
teers. AIL four youths left their homes
about 9 a.m. Sunday and traveled
by jeep to the top of Fern Ridge,
about five miles north of Scotts
burg. They were looking lor a
camping site.
The jeep was found at the top
of Fern Ridge and tracks were
leading from the jeep towards Was
sen Lake which is secluded and
nearly inaccessible, Deputy Sher
iff le Shipley said. The tracks led
west over two ridges and down into
a creek bottom where the tracks
were lost.
About 1 p.m. Monday, Sheriff
Ira C. Byrd flew over the search
area and spotted the boys. A
ground party located the boys
about 1:20 p.m.
Sherwood told rescuers the four
started out to find Wassen Lake,
failed to find it and began follow
ing a creek which they continued
to follow for six hours. It was not
until the sheriff's plane had passed
over and headed back to Roseburg
that they were sure of their direc
tion and continued walking on the
assumption the plane had headed
back to Roseburg, Sherwood said.
He denied they were lost.

Nearly 100 State Highway patrol
men, pushing through lines of
jeering strikers, escorted workers
in and out of the Harriet-Henderson

you." another screamed.
Three autos bearing first-shift

out of his car and hurled himself
at a nearby striker. Police quick
ly stopped the fight.
A dynamite explosion ripped up
a section of earth inside the North

The committee acted after hear
ing the 64-year-old Herter, who
has been chief aide to the cancer
stricken Dulles, say the U.S. air
route to Berlin will be defended
but not necessarily at the risk of
nuclear war.
Committee Chairman J. Wil
liam Fulbright (D - Ark) an
nounced that the nomination of
Herter would go before the full
Senate later today if possible.
Quick confirmation would allow
Herter to take office before leav
ing this weekend for the Western
foreign ministers meeting in Par
is. Herter had told the committee
he did not believe atomic and
hydrogen bombs would be justi
fied in the early stages if war de
veloped over Berlin.
But. Herter told the committee.
"if it became clear that Russia
was resorting to all-out war, I
think 'we would have to consider
a change in our position."
Morse Examines Herter
Herter gave this view under
prolonged questioning by Sen,
Wayne Morse (D-Ore) at a hear
ing in which the applause of oth
er members suggested over
whelming approval of his nomina
tion as secretary of state.
Herter said that "without any
question" Congress should be con
sulted before this country entered
all-out war. He added the reser
vation that such consultation could
not hold up instant retaliation in
the event of attack.
While most members of the
committee contented themselves
with complimentary speeches
about Herter, Morse raised policy
questions.

In answer to what Morse called
hypothetical questions, Herter
said minor incidents over Berlin
"ought not to be alowed to start

"I personally believe that Rus

to start a war any more than we
do," Herter said at one point.
He said he did not believe the
accidental shooting of an Ameri

Berlin would justity a war.
When asked by Morse his reac
