Receipts Are Due Taxpayers Soon Taxpayers who were prompt with payment of their Douglas Countv taxes need not be alarmed if thev have not received their receipts of payment. They will be forthcom ing very soon. Nelda Norris, chief deputy in the tax department, reports that mailing of the department has been especially heavy. It was almost doubled by the necessity to send out supplemental statements to lake care of the deficit for timber property tax refund in accordance with the recent Supreme Court ruling, i Also, all checks submitted In payment must be cleared through the banks before receipts are mail ed out. This is the normal oro- ccdure. but the extra load has delayed processing as early as us ual. The department has already re ceived some inquiries as to why they had not received their re ceipts. The announcement was made to eliminate unnecessary calls. While the department has not been able to get an accurate ac counting as yet, payment of taxes appears to be very good at this time, said Miss Norris.

(yj ....... Ex-Premier ; Being Held By Mobutu LEOPOLDVILLE. the Congo (AP) Ex-Premier Patrice Lu mumba,, arrested in the Congo hinterlands while fleeing, was re turned to this capital today and whisked off to an army camp in handcuffs. Col. Joseph Mobutu, the army leader, said Lumumba will be tried for inciting the army to re bellion and other crimes. Under Escort The former premier arrested Thursday night at Port Francqui, was tiown the sou miles to Leo poldville under escort of Congo lese soldiers. Six companions also were taken into custody just four days after Lumumba fled his guarded resi dence in this capital, presumably to head for Stanleyville and an effort to seize power. Shooting Threatened Mobutu said soldiers holding Lu mumba threatened to shoot him "as a traitor" if he was not col lected from them by 2 p.m. "I told them a commander does not accept that sort of ultimatum from his subordinates," Mobutu declared. "They have been warned that any man who harms Lumumba will have to answer for his acts." "Lumumba will be brought back to Leopoldville to face'trial," he said. Mobutu said a plane has been sent from Leopoldville to Lulus. bourg to collect Lumumba and the four persons arrested with him. There is no airfield at Port rrancqui large enough for this plane to land, so a smaller plane probably will deliver Lumumba and the other prisoners to Lulua- Dourg lonignt or Saturday. nasnamura Arrested Among those arrested with Lu mumba was Anicet Kashamura Communist - leaning information minister in Lumumba s deposed government. Mobutu said Lumumba would be tried for inciting the army to re bellion and other "common law crimes."-. He said he had received infor mation that Uie population of Port Francqui booed and jeered Lu mumba as he was escorted through the town and called him Judas and traitor." The arrest, he said, was made by a company of 180 military po lice stationed at Port Francqui. Lumumba reached the Kasai Riv er port by automobile after a des perate lour-day flight across the wild bush country east of the cap ital. Port Francqui is some 500 miles in a straight line from Leo poldville, but the distance of the tortuous jungle tracks is much greater. Area Controlled1 Mobutu claimed the area Is completely under the control of his men. He expressed confidence his orders would be obeyed to the letter and that Lumumba would arrive in the capital within a day or two. He said he would call oft the nationwide hue and cry for Lu mumba's followers, issued after Lumumba's flight Sunday. "wow mat i nave Lumumba and Kashamura. that is all I need." he said. "The others are no longer any danger.", Douglas Principal Attends Assembly Ray Talbert. principal of Doug las High School in Winston, is in Portland today to give a report on teacher's retirement loathe Repre sentative Assembly of the Oregon Education Association, according to a school spokesman.

PRICE Se U.S. Officially Labels Cuba Red Puppet WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States today officially la beled, the Cuban government of Fidel Castro as Communist-controlled. It did so by releasing $1 million for aid of Cuban refugees under a provision of the Mutual Security Act which permits such spending to assist refugees from Communist-controlled countries. President Eisenhower released the money for aiding Cuban refu gees in Florida. in announcing the action, white House press secretary James C. Hagerty said, in reply to a Ques tion, that it means this country regards Cuba as Communist-controlled. Tracy Voorhees. who has been looking into the Cuban refugee sit uation for Eisenhower, today was given formal status as the Presi dent's representative. He told a news conference in Hagerty's office (hat he did not expect to use all of tiie money released by Eisenhower. Voorhees said he thought large amounts of aid money should come from charitable organizations, founda tions, corporations, and individu als. He said he thought what federal money was used would be lareelv for transporting refugees to find work. Voorhees said there are about 30.000 Cuban refugees in Florida. He said the problem is being ag gravated because more and more cnildren are arriving without par ents. He explained mat each refu gee can bring in only $5 m Ameri can money. Maryland Fire Claims 7 Lives '"'"'' ' LA PLATA. Md. (AP)-"Throw out the children, then jump your- olf," called the trapped wife of a tenant larmer to her 21-ycar- oin uaugnier. The daughter Rose Ella Pow ellthrew nine brothers and sis ters from uie second stnrv nf tfm frame house before searing flames swept through the entire struc ture. Seven members of the fam ily, including Air. and Mrs. Unh. ert Dana Powell and five children died in the fire. The entire frame building had become "one big torch" by the time firemen arrived, and two fire companies stood by helpless ly. Flames were so intense that the seventh body was not recov ered until three hours after the alarm sounded this morning. - The burning house, which was in a tobacco-raising area of south ern JUaryland's Charles. County, was spotted by several neighbors who called the alarm. Authorities believe the blaze may have start ed with an overheated wood burning stove on the first floor. Rose Ella and the nine shiver ing children she rescued received first aid for sprains and bruises. The Negro girl told firemen she had been awakened by her moth er's call to save the children. Mrs. Powell and all the other victims but one were sleeping on the first floor. Killed tn the fire were Powell, 43, and his wife Viola, 45; their four children, James Henry. 12, Barbara Regina, 10, John Allen, 8, and Joseph, 3; and an 11-year-old cousin of the Powells, Phillip G.

Boise of Idleyld Rt. is a nephaW. Bell has been in the county several times to visit them. The lastett visit for the Harvard professor was in 1958. Bell's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Bell of San Francisco, told the Htllecks Thursday, night about the appointment. They said he had accepted but it would not be announced until this morn ing. Bell and Kennedy stood together on the steps of Kennedy's home for the announcement on the budget director. Bell, 41, secretary of Harvard Littaucr Center for Public Admin istration, stood by the president elect's side as Kennedy made the announcement. The first job for Bell, who served as an administrative as sistant in the administration of iresident Harry S. Truman, will be to serve as liaison officer for the incoming Kennedy adminis tration in discussions with Eisen hower's budget director, Maurice a,, aians. After that he will have to start tailoring Eisenhower budget rec- ommcnaauons to uie Kennedy pattern. '.lie post to which Kennedy ap pointed Bell is a key one in any administration.

Eventually he was appointed an administrative assistant to Tru man. Kennedy, hatless In the chill, stood before his front door to make the announcement today with Bell at his side. Not A Cabinet Past In reply to questions, he said he does not intend to raise the Budget Bureau to cabinet status. "No," he answered this ques tion. "The relationship is satisfac tory the way it is." Asked whether Bell might sit in at the Budget Bureau frnm now to Jan. 20. the president-elect said Clark Clifford, his liaison man will discuss this at once with the Eisenhower administration. Kennedy said the nation and the administration are fortunate to have a man of Bell's experience. "I am delighted he has been able to arrange his affairs so he can come with us," Kennedy said.
