The exceptions were Stanford Kuril for Douglas County judge and Charles Doerner for county clerk. Both are Republicans. Dan Dimick, a Democratic party leader who is seeking the non-partisan post of circuit judge, was en dorsed by the council. Either Gail famine or Carl Smith are acceptable as candidates for sheriff. This is something of an oddity because the two men were a short time ago locked in a per sonal struggle over the validity of famine's candidacy because of bis change of registration dale, famine won a court test. Dallas Bennett was recommend ed for county commissioner, Bert Laurance for county treasurer, and the Democratic legislative candi date team of Al Flegel for state Senate and W. O. (Bun) Kelsay and Sid Leiken for stale House of Representatives. No endorsement was made for district judge, all candidates being well qualified, said Christcan. Jaines Sherman is president of the Labor Council.

In 10 years California will be the most populated state in the United States. And California is the leading source of Oregon visitors. Six Million Visit Some 6.500.000 "foreign-licens ed" persons visited in Oregon last year, 3',-j per cent up from the year before. It's somewhat of a disappointing figure in view of the Oregon Centennial, nut still in- dicatcs increasing progress, said Sugg. Of the influx, 72 per cent were from California, western Canada, and Washington, and 46 per cent of them from California alone, said Jordan. California in particu lar will be faced with dual prob lems in the future, both of which rebound to the aid of Oregon, in the view of Ihe two highway of ficials. One is overcrowding; the other, lack of recreational facili ties. The two men showed slides of Stabbing Hearing Slated Monday Preliminary hearing for Gaylon Earl Fish, 24, Roscburg, was set for 2:30 p.m. Monday in Douglas District Court.

' Including these or similar elec tive subjects in the junior high has also been the administration's viewpoint. Supt. M. C. Deller and Asst. Supt. Harry Jacohy both stat ed they feel some of the children need some sort of vocational skill in the junior high. Plant to Bi Puihtd After the curriculum matter was decided, the School Board voted to have architects for the Joseph i.ane audition go ahead with prep aration of plans.

The samplings were taken, for diversity, in Dal las, Tex., and Los Angeles, Calif. In Dallas, Oregon far outpulled California. South Dakota ran third in each instance. Gimmick Nottd An important local gimmick in their presentation was the distri bution of various window cards which the Highway Department will publish and on which refer ence to local cities can oe inserted at negligible cost. Other vari-colored brochures, in cluding a "tent card" which ap pears in that shape, and other ma terial are available. In fact Tide water Oil Co. has already ordered a number of one variety of these attention-getters, for distribution in its service stations. The aim is to get the brochures into 280,000 homes in the West. After the tourist is attracted (and it was pointed out that here in Hoseburg the blast area itself, unfortunate though the circum stances were, is an enticement to tourists), it's the local job to keep him around, said Sugg. Keeping the tourist around brings up that 40-to-l business.

(AP) An air liner ran into strong turbulence near here Wednesday and was buffeted severely. The plane land ed safely, but at least two passen gers were injured. A West Coast Airlines spokes man said the turbulence was en countered by an F-27 prop jet en route from San Francisco to Spo kane, Wash. The spokesman, Fred Reigles, manager here for the airline, said there was no apparent damage to the plane, which carried 15 pass engers and a crew of 3. However, it was held here for inspection. The plane's pilot, William Be atty of Seattle, said the adverse conditions were encountered as the plane was starting to come in for a landing here. Several times, he said, turbulence lorced tne plane down sharply for a con siderable distance. Beatty said he was unable to estimate how far the plane dropped. Reigles said some of the pass engers suffered bumps and brui ses. However, one of the passen gers, Austin L. Real, 58, Culp Creek, Ore., said the bumps and bruises he suffered were srious enough to require hospitalization. He was admitted for treatment. Another passenger, Sidney G. Hacker, 51, Pullman, Wash., was treated and released. The plane was whisked about at the same time that winds with gusts up to 60 miles an hour raked the Eugene area. Those winds were strong enough to blow over a four-story fire de partment drill tower under con struction here.
