Children Endure
Night In Woods
CLAYTON. N.C. (AP) Five
missing children who spent the
night in woods during (unfreezing
weather were found cold and
shivering but unharmed today,
huddled together under a big tree.
The State Highway Patrol said
two searchers came upon the chil
dren about 8:30 a.m. They were
reported in good condition but
were brought hero for medical ex
amination. An estimated 1.500 persons, aid
ed by lights from helicopters,
trooped through 80 square miles
of woods most of the night.
Two searchers, Kenneth John
son and Jack Raines, said the
children were beneath a nig tree
in a thick patch of briars which
apparently helped protect- them
from the bitter cold which
dropped as low as IS degrees.
"It's all a well-clothed man can
do to survive out here tonight,"
Deputy Sheriff E. W. Creech of
Johnston county had remarked
during the hunt.
The site is a 600-acre woodland
17 miles southeast of Kaleigh.
The search began late Munday
night after the three girls and two
boys failed to return on a school
bus to the Knights of Pythias
Home for children of broken
homes. The home is about three
fourths of a mile from Clayton
where the children attended
school.
The children, who came to the
home recently, are Shirley Pear
son, 13, and James It. Pearson,
11, wards of the Davidson County
Welfare Department; and Tula
Kay Tester, 12, Nina C. Walker,
6, and Dennis Walker, 11, wards
of the Caldwell County Welfare
Department. -
The Walker children and the
Tester girl are brothers and sis
ters. Their mother, Mrs. Manila
Walker, froze to death at Boone
, last Feb. 18 during a heavy
snowstorm.

Official reports said 90 persons,
mostly Moslems, had been killed
in Algeria in the past four days,
but rebel sources claimed the

An African remarked that the

Roseburg Chamber Group Told
The- term "national forest"

Service regional forester of the Or

Hoseburg Chamber of Commerce
Committee on Agriculture and Na

Forest Beauty
Stone said the term national for

Stand of trees. Actually, he said,
probably as much beauty exists in

Fanatic Blamed
In School Blast
ATLANTA, Ga. (AP)-A fanatic

large Negro elementary, ' school
and damaged a dozen homes in
Atlanta's northwest section.
"It was the work of a fanatic,
of that we are sure," said Police
Capt. R. E. Little, head of a spe

tective Bureau.
All available men in the Police
Department were taking feirt in

agents and a demolitions? team
from the 3rd Armv entered the
case on a cooperative basis.
Investigators were still trying
to learn the type of explosive
used. Particles picked up at the
scene were being tested in r Bl
laboratories and at the 3rd Army's
nearny rl. Mcl'nerson.
The blast damaged the school
auditorium and two classrooms
and showered neighboring Negro
homes and parked cars with fly
ing stone and debris. Dr. John
Lelson, city school superintend

tween $1,000 and $1,500 to repair
the school.
The school explosion took place
the day after massive Negro
prayer meetings and a down

one Negro at the William Frantz
school today, and for the first
time since the school was inte
grated Nov, 14, no demonstrators
appeared.
Federal marshals escorted all
nine children to the school in auto
mobiles. Policemen clustered on
corners around the school and
newsmen braved the biting wind.
But unlike days before, no wom
en appeared to wave signs, or
boo, or jeer.
At McDonogh No. 19, where
three Negro girls attend the first
grade, a handful of spectators
huddled across the street from
the building.
The Negro girls and the federal
marshals accompanying them
were a bit later than usual,
prompting one woman to yell at
a marshal:
"Did you feed them breakfast?"
The four-week-old school hassle
seemed no closer to a solution
despite the U.S. Supreme Court's

AI Flegel Votes No
For Demo Candidate
SALEM (AP) Eleven Demo
cratic state senators failed Mon
day to bring other Democratic
senators to support of Sen. Alfred
Corbett of Portland for Senate
president.
A dissenter was AI Flegel of
Roseburg.
The meeting was called by Sen.
Robert Straub, Eugene, state
party chairman, as a Democratic
caucus, but only 11 of the 20 Sen
ate Democrats showed up. An
other sent a proxy vote.
Straub said there were 10 votes
for Corbett, including the proxy,
and two opposing him.
The opposing two were Flegel
and . D. Potts of Grants Pass.
The proxy vote was that of William
Grenfell of Portland.
The others voting for Corbett
were Monroe Sweetland of Mil
waukie, Richard Chapman of Coos
Bay, Dwight Hopkins of Imbler,
Loyd Key of Millon-Freewater,
Vernon Cook of Gresham, Alice
Corbett, Jean Lewis, and Alfred
Corbett of Portland, and Straub.
This made it appear that Demo
cratic Sen. Harry Boivin of Klam
ath Falls will win the Senate
presidency with a coalition of the
remaining Democrats and prob
ably all 10 Senate Republicans.
The failure of the Corbett forces
came after Democratic officials
announced that 16 county Demo
cratic central committees had
voiced support for th Corbett
cause. '

tow Truck Involved
In Highway Mishap
A Roseburg towing service truck
was involved with two other ve
hicles in an accident early this
morning on the North Umpqua
Road and ended up towing one of
the vehicles from the scene.
At 7:30 a.m. Claude Andrew
Gaylor, 62, of Idleyld Rt., Rose
burg. backed his pickup truck out
of his driveway, which is about
three miles east of Roseburg, ac
cording to Oregon State Police. The
pickup is owned by the county.
Visability there was restricted to
about 75 to 100 feet due to heavy
fog and the pavement was wet,
police reported.
Begins Skid 1 -
As Gaylor's vehicle was stopped,
standing crosswise in the road, an
other pickup, registered to Wat
son Logging Co. of Drain, ap
proached from the west. The sec
ond pickup was driven by Perry
Willis Chandler, 47, of Yoncalla,
and had two passengers, Robert
Raymond Roudebaugh, 39, Drain,
and Clarence Eugene Bass, 43,
also of Yoncalla.
Chandler is said to have applied
his brakes but the vehicle began
to skid on the wet road.
Under Own Power
The Mohrs Towing service truck,
eastbound behind Chandler, was
unable to stop and struck the log
ging company pickup at the left
rear fender, knocking it into the
county truck. Richard Virgil Trip

the towing truck.
Both the county pickup and the
tow truck were able to leave the

to be towed away by the truck.
There were no injuries as a re

nal evidence of it continued to
decline. Only a handful of women
huddled in a yard across from the
school to watch U S deputy mar
shals escort the eight white and
one Negro students to Frantz.
This was the same number that
attended Friday but was consider
ably below the 23 who went last
Tuesday before segregationists
stepped up their behind-the-scenes
pressure campaign.
Supt. James F. Redmond said
he did not expect an attendance
increase at Frantz in the near fu
ture. "There are about as many white
students in William Frantz School
as we're going to see in there for '
a while," he said.
The embattled five-man school
board elected Louis G. Riecke Sr.

Riecke pledged to follow the mod

In Washington, the nine Supreme
Court judges ruled unanimously
against Louisiana's appeal for a

the state's anti-integration legal
arsnal and refused to suspend in
tegration. Although the court ruling was
not directly on the three-judge
court's actions, it in effect affirm
ed them.
Specifically, the judges blasted
interposition, a theory under
which the state claimed to place
itself between the federal court
and the people of Louisiana to pre
vent school integration.
In a four-paragraph unsigned
opinion, the judges agreed with
the lower court that interposition
is unconstitutional and, "if taken
seriously, it is an illegal defiance j
