take over the world in the near

"War is not needed for the vic

Armed Assaulter
Due Resentencing
Harvey Eubanks, 21. sentenced
from Douglas County to 15 years
in the Oregon State Penitentiary
Jan. 24, 1957, for assault and rob
bery while being armed with a
dangerous weapon, comes up for
resentencing Thursday at 9:30 p.m.
before Circuit Judge Charles S.
Woodrich.
Eubanks won the right for re
sentencing under the post-conviction
law when a Marion -County
judge ruled that the sentencing
judge from Douglas county had
erred by imposing a 15-year sen
tence to make sure that Eubanks
spent at least five years in the
cenitentiarv.
The judge ruled (his was three
times what the judge regarded as
fairly proportionate to the offense
to which Eubanks pleaded guilty.
This, he ruled, rendered the sen
tence void. Other points brought
up by Eubanks in an attempt to
gain his freedom were denied.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) No

in the Thonu.s Hotel fire Jan. 6
which took 20 lives, a coroner's

Hemorrhoids Cured Painlessly
By Non-Surgical Method
The non-surgical, electronic
method for th treatment of
Hemorrhoids (Piles) derel
oped by doctors at the Dean
Clinic has been to successful
and permanent in nature that
the following policy is offered
their patients : "After all symp
toms of Hemorrhoids . . . have
nbsided and the patient has
been discharged, if be should
tver hire a recurrence, all
olistic in that it allows an em
ployer to carry industrial acci
dent insurance with a private
carrier.
He said that the system often
results in a ratio of benefits paid
out to premiums paid in that
are greater for small employers.
He said in some classes of
employers that benefits paid to
hurt workers are slightly more
than 100 per cent of premiums
paid by the employers. In other
classes, the figure is less than
100 per cent.
There will be considerable
fighting over the law in this ses
sion of the legislature.
Sen. Walter Pearson, D-Porl-land,
is expected to introduce a
bill that would substitute the so
called three-way law for the pres
ent system. ,
Under this method an employer
would be permitted to insure with
a private insurance company,
with the state' or insure himself.
Gov. Mark O. Hatfield in his
legislative message proposed that
an employer be permitted to
either self insure or insure with
i the state. Only state insurance
l now comes under the workmen's
compensation act.
Green said that Oregon law is
unique in that it has no waiting
period for benefits. He said it is
the only one in the nation in
which the workman pays a set
amount.
He said that the Oregon law
provides for unlimited medical
benefits to workmen seriously in

The Oregon law, he said, pro

which means that if an injured
man's condition in later years
gets worse as a result of the in
dustrial accident the case can be
reopened.
Green said that Oregon also
provides full coverage for eccu
pational diseases and radiation
injury. He said there are base
benefits for single persons with
additional benefits for each de
pendent. He said that widows and total
disability claims are paid for life

Count Dismissed

A charge against Harry Bean of

man plumber without a permit or
certificate of competency was dis
missed in District Court by Judge
Gerald R. Hayes Tuesday.
Bean of Roseburg was schedul

grounds that the complaint did not
state a crime.

Ike Asks Change
In Schedules
WASHINGTON (AP) Presi-i
dent Eisenhower said today elec
tion and inauguration dates ought
to be changed so a new president
would have 80 days' to get organ
ized before he starts doing busi
ness with Congress.
Specifically,, he said, there
should be that much time to pre
pare messages on the state of the
Union and the budget before Con
gress convenes.
Eisenhower has just sent Con
gress his views in those fields, as
required. Now the incoming ad
ministration of John K. Kennedy
will set about revising the pro
grams to meet its own ideas.
Eisenhower told his 193rd and
final While House news conler
ence he has some radical ideas
about changing the schedule of
trapsition from one administra
tion to another.
He said he favors a constitu
tional amendment which would
change the time of the national
elections and of inauguration of a
new president to a point where
the new executive would take of
fice 80 days before he meets with
his first Congress.
Eisenhower gave no specific
dales. But since Congress ordinar
ily ronvenes Jan. 3, under his
schedule the new president would
have to take office about Nov. 10
instead of the present Jan. 20
date fixed in the Constitution.
This woidd make it necessary
to move the presidential, election
ahead of the date now fixed the
first Tuesday alter the first Mon
day in November.
In an expansive and nostalgic
mood. Eisenhower answered a se
ries of questions about the transi
tion period -he is going through at
this point.
Up to now, he said this change
over from a Republican to a Dem
ocratic administration has been
going splendidly. He said there
were no complaints on his part.
Labor Market Slow
In Roseburg Area
The Department of Employment
has just completed a survey of la
bor supply and demand conditions
in the Roseburg labor market area
which- comprises all of Douglas
County. The recommendation was
made to the U. S. Department of
Labor that this area be declared
one of substantial .labor surplus.
.Out of an estimated total civilian
labor force of 23,415 in November,
2.440 workers were seeking work.
This is an unemployment rate for
the area of 10.4 per cent. Tho state
rate was 6.2 per cent. Last year
in November, both this area's un
employment rale and the slate rale
was 4.5 per cent.
Ninety per cent of the area's
manufacturing employment is in
the wood products industry. The
recent soft lumber market sent
wood products employment in No
vember down to 22.2 per cent be
low last year's November figure.
This decline! in basic payrolls has
also aitcctcd some of the second
ary industries. Employment in
trade is nine per cent below last
year.
If the U. S. Department of La
bor approves the slate agency's
recommendation tht this area be
declared to have a substantial la
bor surplus, employers in this
area will have certain advantages
in bidding on government con
tracts. Many orders are set aside
to be bid on only by employers in
labor surplus areas. In event of a
tie bid on all orders preference is
given to bidders in labor surplus
areas, the area s employers would
also be entitled to additional pref
erence under the "Buy American
Act."

SALEM (AP)-State Sen. E. D.
Pols, D-Granls Pass, said today
that, if the price of plywood drops
any lower, he will urge a joint

they can't operate under this
price." Potts said, "we are going

try." The price dropped Monday to
$60 for one thousand square feet
of sanded-on one-side AD plywood,
the lowest since World War II.
"The 1901 legislature." Potts
said, "should certainly use every
available means at its disposal to
help create a more favorable ply
wood and lumber market for the
producers of the state.
it is my Delict Hint the saw
mills and plywood mills cannot
operate at this market place. This
is the rock bottom."
Major producers had blamed
smaller producers for failing to
hold the price line.
Potts said that the smaller pro
ducer has to sell what he produces
because he does not have the
money (o hold on to it like the
big producer.
