Change Of Venue Requested
In Kuykendall Blast Trial
An attorney for Pacific Powder
Co. of Tenino, Wash., has again
filed for change of venue in a civil
action in which Alvin KuyKenuaii,
a. Roseburg man injured in the
Aue. 7 blast, has sued tor jo.uuu.
The request that the circuit court
move the action, scheduled for trial
June 20. to another county was
turned down once. However, WU
liam C. Martin, Portland, one of
the attorneys for the company says
in the latest motion that publicity
in The News-Review has contrib
uted prejudice against the defend
ant company.
He cites specifically an editorial
written by Assistant Editor George
Castillo in the April 27 issue. He
says that this publicity, "coupieci
with circumstances attending and
following the explosion, has made
the inhabitants of Douglas County
so prejudiced against the defend
ant that the defendant cannot ex
pect a fair and impartial trial in
the county.
Editorial Blamad
The motion charges that "what
ever opportunity existed for a fair
trial in Roseburg at the time of
Willoughby Says
Soviets Spying
DENVER, Colo. (AP) "Of
course" the Soviets are sending
spy flights over United States ter
ritories, Maj. Gen. Charles A.
Willoughby (Ret.) said Thursday
night.
Willoughby was intelligence
chief on the staff of Gen. Douglas
MacArthur from 1941 to 1951. He
now military editor of Ameri
can Mercury magazine and a con
sultant to the House Un-American
Activities Committee.
"Vapor trails have been picked
up over Alaska time and again,"
he said In an interview, intimat
ing these trails are from Soviet
planes.
"But tills isn't the point. Russia
does not have to fly over us. It
lias the American Communist par
ty at it beck and call. They pick
up all the information Russia
wants."
the court's earlier ruling was de
stroyed by the publication of the
foregoing editorial." It called the
editorial a "fair indication of the
kind of publicity to be expected
during the trial of the cause in
Roseburg, during which the jury
would be exposed to constant con
tact with the residents of Rose
burg." The editorial was an explanation
of legal actions which had taken
place as a result of the blast. The
motion took specific exception to
the following statements in the edi
torinl which it quotes.
1. That the attorneys for the de
fendant "managed to have Doug
las County circuit court judges dis
qualified. '
2. The "thing that appears ap
parent in defendants' attorneys
minds is a desire to take the trials
out of Roseburg" while the "attor
neys for the people who suffered
death, injury and damage are re
sisting these efforts."
3. An interpleader action in Port
land federal court "appears to be
an attempt to move the action
away from Douglas County." The
attorney insists this is not true.
4. The conclusion of the editorial
that the Kuykendall case, which is
the first of blast actions on the
docket to be set for trial, might
set a pattern which could lead to
settlement of other blast cases out
of court.
Prejudice Built
The motion concludes that "the
editorial not only builds a prejudice
around the defense and manner of
defense of the actions by the de
fendants, but in itself demonstrates
the prejudicial atmosphere into
which the trial would be placed.
The motion adds that "every mo
tion or pleading filed herein which
might be of little or no interest in
an ordinary action has been dis
played in banner headlines on the
first or second page of the said
News-Review."
Meanwhile, another Portland at
torney for the firm, David Tern
plctou, asked for a change of ven
ue to Lane County in a property
damage suit filed by General In
surance Co. He said because of
the great amount of damage and
injury done by the blast, it would
be difficult to select or find 12
persons on the Douglas County jury
panel who are not pre disposed
against the defendant.
The decision on the motions will
be made by Coquille Circuit Judge
Robert Belloni.

Porter, Coos Medic
Argue Forand Bill
COOS BAY, Ore. (AP) Rep.
Charles 0. Porter (D-Ore) and an
American Medical Assn. spokes
man argued here Thursday about
the Forand health bill.
The Forand Bill would provide
medical care for social security
recipients. Increased social secur
ity payments would be required
to finance the proposal.
Porter told the Life Underwrit
ers Assn. of Southwestern Oregon
the bill is a good one. He said
American Medical Assn. opposi
tion to it is "not informed."
The AMA, Porter charged, has
too much money, its policy is not
shaped by doctors but by an AMA
hierarchy, the doctors are too busy
to study political issues and much
AMA money is from drug adver
tising in medical journals.
One of the invited Southwestern
Oregon Medical Assn. members,
Dr. Raymond McKeown of Coos
Bay, challenged Porter. McKeown,
association secretary, said doctors
pay only $25 annual dues to the
organization and that individual
state societies shape AMA policies.
He also is an AMA trustee.
McKeown. discussing the Forand
bill, said, "The AMA has come up
with a health plan that is not
socialistic tne lorin you apparent
ly advocate."
porter challenged Dr. McKeown
to define socialism, and he re
torted, "You tell me. You know
quite a bit about socialism."
Later Or. McKeown said social
ism is "taking awav from the in
dividual the right to decide for
himself."
Eugene Bailcv. a former nresi-
dent of the International ixing-
snorcmen s ana warehousemen s
union s Coos Bay local, backed
Porter's position. He pointed out
that President Eisenhower gels
free medical care at Walter Reed
Hospital.
Then Porter remarked, "Presi
dent Eisenhower and we congress
men have always been on social
ized medicine."
Porter is seeking re-election in
Oregon's southwest district.

PARIS (AP) Prince Aly Khan
playboy, sportsman, lover of
beautiful women and apprentice
diplomat was killed Thursday
night at the wheel of a sports car.
After an afternoon at Long
champs race track outside Paris,
the 48-yearold prince was driving
to his half-brother's home at St.
Cloud for a dinner party when his
Lancia coupe and a light sedan
collided head on in suburban Sur-csne.
The wealthy prince met death in
a dinner jacket with
woman by his side.
Bettina, former French model
who has been his constant com
nanion in Europe in recent years,
suffered a face cut and blood pour
ed over her green silk evening
gown. She was given fust aid treat
merit at a hospital and released.
Aly's chauffeur, riding in the
back seat, was only slightly hurt.
The fun loving prince, who
turned to sober diplomacy in 1958
as Pakistan s ambassador to tne
United Nations, was rushed to a
hospital but died in an elevator on
the way to the operating room.
The hospital director said a head
gash was the only outward sign of
injury. Hospital attaches said he
suffered a fractured skull, broken
legs and perhaps a broken neck.
Herve Bichaton, driver of the
other car, escaped with minor in
juries. Police said he told them
he could remember nothing about
the crash. The French News Agen
cy said reports from the scene in
dicated Bichaton was on the wrong
side of the road, but police gave no
confirmation of this.
Bettina, whose real name is Si
inone Bodin, told investigators Aly
a racing driver in his youth
was not driving fast at the time
of the accident.
Actress Rita Hayworth. whose
marriage to Aly was a glittering
Riviera affair in 1949. said in Hol
lywood that she and their 10-vear-
old daughter Yasmin were tremen
dously shocked.
It will be a great loss to Yas
min, who has alwavs been most
attached to her father," she said
statement issued through her
present husband, movie producer
James Hill.
Miss Hayworth and Aly were di
vorced in 1954.
Aly is survived by two sons
Karim and Amyn by his first
marriage to Joan Yarde-Buller
Guinness, daughter of an English
nobleman. That marriage also end
ed in divorce.
Karim, 23, is the reigning Aga
Khan IV, spiritual leader of the
Ismaili sect of Moslems with 20
million followers. He succeeded to
the title in 1957 on the death of
Aly's father, the Aga Khan III,
who passed over his son and nam
ed his grandson as his successor.
Prince Amyn. 22. is a student at
beautiful , Harvard.
The young Aga Khan flew from
London to Paris early today to
make arrangements for the funer
al. Burial is expected to be in the
Middle East. The late Aga Khan
III was buried in Egypt.
United Nations officials, who
knew Aly as a serious, hard-working
associate, were stunned by his
death.
Henry Cabot Lodge, the chief
U. S. delegate, called him "an old
and very dear friend."

than a majority." The state party
picks convention delegates June 7.
A Kennedy aide in Maryland
said, "We've got New York and
New Jersey sewed up. We're look
ing very good there, especially
since West Virginia."
In Trenton, N.J., New Jersey's
Gov. Robert B. Meyner said Ken
nedy's West Virginia victory last
Tuesday enhances his chances for
the nomination. .
But Meyner added "I still think
the convention is going to have
to determine the candidate." Mey.
ner controls the state's 41 votes
as a favorite son candidate Re.
portedly there is strong sentiment
among delegates to go for Ken
nedy on the second ballot.
In another development, Wiscon
sin's attorney general ruled tho
state's 20 delegate votes pledged
to Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of
Minnesota now are freed am
withdrawal as a presidential' as
pirant. But Frank L. Nikolay, chairman
of the delegation, said "it's mv
opinion that we will have to have
a written release from Humoh
phrey." Most of the Humnhr..
delegates, who control 10 votes
say they still are undecided. Ken
nedy won 20 convention votes in
Wisconsin.
Adlai Stevenson, twice the Dem

"The blunder has made the Pmi.
