During U. N. Job,
Lodge Announces
CHICAGO (AP) - Henry Cabot
Lodge put his rule as Republican
vice president nominee in tem
porary storage loday as he re
lumed to his post as U, S, ambas
sador lo the United Nations.
Lodge said both he and Vice
President Ilichnrd M. Nixon, the
(1 01 presidential nominee, had
agreed that Lodge should remain
politically silent until he leaves
his U. N. post, probably some
time in August.
"1 don't think it would be ap
propriate for the U. S. representa
tive al the Uniled Nations to make
political speeches," Lodge said.
"When the time comes Id make
political speeches, then f won't be
the U. S. spokesman at (he U. N."
First, however, he will- be this
country's spokesman at a U. S.
called meeting of the U. N. Dis
armament Commission sometime
next month. Lodge said he didn't
know whether be would stay
throughout Die disarmament nego
tiations, but believed the commis
sion session would not extend be
yond August anyway.
Friday, at his first news con
ference since his unanimous nomi
nation Thursday night, Lodge had
friendly words for the Democrat
ic presidential nominee. Sen. John
F. Kennedy of Massachusetts.
Lodge nuled, for one thing, that
he and Kennedy are distantly re
lated by marriage.
Kennedy took Lodge's seat away
from him in 1952 m the latter s
bid for reelection to the Senate.
For this, Lodge said, he owed
Kennedy "a debt of gratitude."

Camas Man Sues
3 Of His Brothers
On Malice Charge
A Camas Valley man, Bernard
L. Denn, Friday filed a suit in
Douglas County Circuit Court
against three of his brothers charg
ing them with "maliciously and
wrongfully" instituting legal ac
tions against him. ,
The defendants in the case arc
Leo E., Victor J. and Lawrence
P. Denn. The suit, containing two
causes of action, demands more
than $50,000 damages.

Victor and Lawrence charged him
with criminal assault with a dan
gerous weapon. He said the action
was "maliciously and wrongfully
instituted."
He asked $20,000 general and
$5,000 punitive damages in this
cause.

es defendants Leo and Victor Denn
of maliciously instituting a mental
proceeding in Douglas County Cir
cuit Court against him. He again

Births
Election Erases
Last Vestiges
Of Corrupt Rule
SEOUL, South Korea (AP)
John M. Chang's Democrats, rid
ing a wave of revulsion against
the corrupt 12-year rule of Syng
man Rhee's Liberal party, won a
decisive victory today in South
Korea's first free elections. Some
violence erupted over the vote
count.
Climaxing five years of bitter,
often futile opposition to the iron
handed ithee regime, the Demo
crats seized control of the ruling
House of Representatives in still
incomplete but conslusive counting
of B'ii million ballots cast in Fri
day's election.
The Democrats won their first
mandate to lead this Communist
menaced nation in balloting that
was marred by post election bal
lothox burning, pitched battles be
tween police and anti-Khee stu
dents, and demonstrations against
vote counting irregularities in fa
vor of winning Democrats.
Soldiers Called Out
Eight instances of violence
clouded the otherwise peaceful
voting Friday night. And today a
company of soldiers had to be
called out at Taejon, 100 miles
south of Seoul, to quell 10,000
demonstrators who tried to break
into the City Hall charging a
fraudulent vole count to favor a
Democratic candidate.
In Kosong, south of Masan, hun
dreds of demonstrators who Fri
day night stormed a counting sta
tion protesting the early success
of a former Liberal, invaded a
fiolice station today injuring at
east three policemen, and wreck
ed part of the post office building.
About 50 policemen wrc in
jured, two seriously, in fights with
mobs who burned ballot boxes
and kidnaped campaigners at Sam
Chong Po, 300 miles south of Se
oul. New voting was ordered in
five polling places where Ihe bal
lot boxes were burned.
More than 200 student demon
strators abducted supporters of a
former Liberal candidate and
claimed lo have wrung a promise
from them that the candidate
would quit.
Still incomplete returns indicat
ed the Democrats had captured
at least 133 scats of the 233-scat
lower house.
Liberals Ousted
The Liberals who dominated the
old Legislature by 80 voles were
almost completely turned cut of
Ihe new Assembly. By midiiftor
noon only one, former Assembly
man Chun llyung-san, had won
election under the Liberal banner,
defeating a Democrat al Inje by
a narrow margin.
The Democrats closest rivals
were Ihe Independents who were
on the way to victory in 50 con
tests. Many of them, however, arc
pro-Democratic and will probably
vote with them.
Final results of Ihe lower house
races are expected Sunday while
the outcome of voting for the new
ly created, less important 58-seat
upper house is not likely to be
known until early next week.
The Democratic sweep put
Chang, GO, a former ambassador
to Washington and vice president
under Rhee for nearly four years,
within reach of the prime minis
ter's job. But there were signs
the party might split wide open
with Yoon Bo-song, 62, leader of
the more conservative old line
faction seeking to wrest the pre
miership from him.

Katanga Secession
Major Barrier
To Congo's Peace
LEOPOLDV1LLE. The Congo
(AP) Congolese leaders stood
adamant today for immediate
I). N. action against secession of
the Katanga Province, despite re
ported pleas for moderation by
u. N. Secretary General Dag
ilammarskjold.
"Our posilion has not changed,"
said Information Minister Anicet
Kashamura after Hammarskjold
had met with the Cabinet.
Asked whether the secretary
general had made any concrete
proposals to deal with the crisis,
Kashamura replied, "It is not up
to him but up to us to make pro
posals." Hammarskjold was reported
trying to convince the Congo's
leaders lhat any rash act at this
delicate stage would plunge the
nation into disaster.
"We must act with wisdom and
avoid violence," he was quoted
as saying.
Kashamura told the newsmen
his government wants immediate
action to secure Congolese unity
and achieve evacuation of Belgian
troops.
Economic Doom Threatened
Katanga's Premier Moise
Tshombe announced his prov
ince's secession after violence
swept the newborn African repub
lic. Continuation of the Katanga's
autonomy could spell doom of the
economic life of the rest of the
Congo.
Kashamura said the Congolese
government will insist that the
U. N. Security Council resolution
calling for evacuation of Belgian
troops from the Congo be carried
out right away.
Almost at the same time a U.N.
spokesman announced that Bel
gium had agreed to take imme
diate steps to evacuate 1,500 sol
diers from the Congo to Belgium.
This is the first evacuation of
Belgian troops since the trouble
started.

a box car loaded with explosives
blew up. The tremendous force of
the explosion demolished about a
dozen freight cars of the train and
levelled the pumping plant of the
old Victory gold mine on the bank
of Cow Creek opposite the site of
the blast. The train crew escaped
with minor injuries as Ihe ca
boose in which they v.ere riding
was protected from the main force
of the blast by the rocky ridge
pierced by Tunnel No. 7. The ex
plosion rattled windows in Glen
dale and blew a section of a freight
er car wheel for half a mile up the
mountainside.
Train Holdup Recounted
Retired Conductor E. T. "Buck"
llorian, now a resident of Port
land, recalled the foggy morning
around the turn of the century
when the freight train he was brak
ing on collided head-on with an
other freight near Shady Point, just
south of the Roseburg city limits.
Several members of the two crewa
involved were killed and others ser
iously injured. Not far from the
site of this accident, robbers held
up a passenger train in 1897 and
blew open the express car. escap
ing with an undetermined amount
of loot. Engineer Dick Morris was
held a prisoner at gun point by the
two masked robbers, but Kircman
Hendricks leaped from the locomo
tive and, under the cover of dark
ness, escaped to the dense brush
along the South Umpqua River.
Hendricks made his way afoot to
Roseburg and summoned help, but
the robbers had fled before the
posse could reach the scene. Stor
ies of these stirring times were
mingled with humorous anecdotes
as the visitors renewed old ac
quaintances and stirred up mem
ories of the bustling rail terminal
of Roseburg in days long gone by.
A cordial welcome was delivered
by Trainmaster George Joyce of
Medford on behalf of the Southern
Pacific Company, as the Roseburg
Trainmaster Ted Bernard was ab
sent in California on his vacation.
The group was also addressed by
Aaron Boe, member of the Cham
ber of Commerce. Boe expressed
the willingness of that group to co
operate with the local railroaders
in promoting a bigger event for the
future, and it is hoped that possibly
an annual railroad celebration, per
haps patterned after the "Railroad
Days held in Dunsmuir, Califor
nia, can be developed.
Dane Pupils Entertain
Following the presentation of the
pensioners and speakers the crowd
was entertained by dances present
ed by the pupils of the Sally Hilt
Studio, interspersed with baton
performers from the Maxine Merle
Baton School and accordion selec
tions by the four Suiter children '
from Gene Smith's accordion class.
Special commendation was given
to Roseburg Lumber Company for
their donation of plywood used to
re-surface the floor of the stage in
Umpqua Park. This platform had
grown rough and warped with age
and heavy use, and the donated
plywood was laid by a group ol
Southern Pacific volunteers. Tho
new flooring will be left in place
for the benefit of other groups us
ing the Umpqua Park facilities.
The afternoon was spent in visit
ing old friends, with games and
free refreshments, including pony
rides for the children and draw
ings for prizes donated by Rose
burg merchants.
