tions. Such a declaration would
force Verwoerd to take Soulh
Africa out of the Commonwealth
or beat a sharp retreat from his
repeated public declaration that
he would not stand for "any
humiliating treatment" from the
conference.
One participant In the discus
sions boiled down the issue this
way. "The question of South Af
rica's future membership has
been settled. We have agreed to
the bill. Backers said they ex
pected to be able to defeat these.
The legislation . would provide
federal loans and grants to attract
job-making plants to areas long
suffering from heavy - unemploy
ment. Sen. Paul II. Douglas, D 111.,
sponsor of the bill and its floor
manager, made two reluctant con
cessions Tuesday in an effort to
assure enough votes to win pas
sage. An almost Identical measure
cleared the Senate only 48-48 tnrcc
years ago. '

suuDorlers of the measure most
feared, a proposal to change the
financing system drastically, tney
were able to squeaK tnrougu to a
49-45 victorv.
This amendment, offered by
Sen. A. Willis Robertson, D-Va.
was siiDDorted chiefly by Rcpubli
cans. It would have required that
the $:too million in loan funds in
the bill be provided through regu
lar appropriations.
As the bill came to the floor, it
permitted this money to be taken
directly from the Treasury in ad
vances. Douglas said this plan was es
sential to got the program moving

Stall Rent Reduced
At Fair Facilities
Stall rent aKthe Douglas County i
Fairgrounds has been decreased
to $8 a month, according to Dick
Turley, Fairgrounds manager. It
had previously been $8. This is be
low the actual cost of operation, he
said, but was made at the request
of the Douglas County Horsemen's
Association. Turley added that a
spokesman for the association said
that all stalls would no immediate
ly filled with rental horses, as a
result of this action.
Tho Fair Board, meeting Tues
day night, also agreed to increase
tho present seating in the pavilion
for use by norsemcn at spring
horse shows, The new capacity
will be approximately 1,500, and its
now 700.
Swinging Gates Studied
Coin meters presonlly operat

also be investigated, to see If the
frequency of operation can be re
duced. The board was Impressed with
tho possibility of swinging gates
for use across the race track, re
placing the present somewhat un
wieldy but useable wire gates,
but took no action. The cost Is es
timated at $1,500.
The board, giving lack of funds
as the reason, disallowed the re
quest of the Rodeo Association for
paint and materials for painting
the grandstand, and on the same
basis declined a request to renum
ber the reserved scats In t h e
stunds. The Fair Board also turned down
proposal to remodel the Com

cost of $250, suggested to prevent

"However, 11 of Dr. Verwoerd s
colleagues want publicly to ex
press their opinion that the
principles and practices of the
apartheid (racial segregation)
system do not conform with the
Commonwealth conception of hu
man rights and racial equality."
After hours of argument Tues
day, Verwoerd stalled off a public
declaration by invoking a ve'.o.
Under the traditional rules fur
Commonwealth members, all of
them must agree to commu
niques. The conference finally agreed to
sleep on the matter and continue
the discussion today.
Membership in the British-led
family of nations carries with it

that South Africa is reluctant to
give up when she changes from
a nionarchial union to a republic

Four Assault
Charges Filed
Against Steve
A new twist came in the Steve
Solovich case here today with the
Hung in uisinci loun oi iour citi
zen's complaints charging th e
mountain man with assault with a
dangerous weapon. Solovich is the
escaped Roseburg Veterans Hospi-
lai udiieni wno eiuaea otucers near
ly a year in the mountains east of
Roseburg. He was caught today.
Watson C. Talcott, who tasted
lead fired from the eun of Solovich
when the latter was surrounded by
sheriff's deputies on Feb. 21, was
one of the four to file complaints.
The others are John Miller, Virlis
A. Savage Sr. and Neil Talcott,
all residents of the Little River
area.
Warrants of arrest, based upon
tne complaints, were issued by Dis
trict Judge Gerald R. Hayes. They
were handed to State Police Ser
geant Robert Kecfc, who was in
the courthouse at the time. Ser
geant Kecfe, however, stated today
that the warrants will be turned
over to the sheriff's office, which
nas oeen Handling tne case.
Indications are that other com
plaints will be filed. Several resi
dents of the Glide-Little River area
have stated their intentions to file
charges.
Sheriff Ira Byrd said his office
has been operating under an initial
warrant charging burglary, in con
nection with . the alleged theft by
Solovich of guns from a home in
the area. He said this warrant
gives ample authority on which to
bring in "Big Steve." It's a mat
ter of finding him first.
It is understood filing of the addi
tional complaints is an outgrowth
of a protest meeting of Glide-Little
River residents with Sen. Albert
G, Flegcl and Rep. W. O. (Bun)
Kelsay Saturday. The delegation
complained the search for Solo
vich was not being pushed. Flegel
discussed the situation with Byrd
later in the day.
Talcott's complaint accuses Solo
vich of pointing and firing a .22
caliber rifle at him Feb. 21, stat
ing that the bullet entered his body.
Talcott currently is recovering
from his wound in the chest. -
Miller complains that Solovich
on Oct. 22 pointed the .22 ride at
him and said he was going to
shoot.

trucking Industry, said the charge
is propaganda because the com
mission now has a surplus of
money. ,
The statement thai the highway
construction program would be
hurt was made jointly by Charles
A. Sprague, Salem publisher; ex
Gov. Elmo Smith, Albany pub
lisher; Charles A. Reynolds, La
Grande, former member of the
Highway Commission; and Wil
liam M. Tugman, Gardiner, re
tired publisher and chairman of the
state Parks Advisory Committee.
Knipe said that the Highway
Commission figures that trucks
should pay one-third of highway
construction and maintenance
costs. He said that trucks now are
paying 38 per cent, and that the
bill would reduce it to 33 per cent
again.
Chairman Milo K. Mclver of the
Highway Commission sent a state
ment that the Illinois road tests,
recently completed under sponsor
ship of the federal government and
the states, might show that trucks
should pay 40 or 50 per- cent.
Knipe replied that the tests, the
results of which will be made
known next summer, won't prove
anything about costa.
The joint statement by the four
men said the bill would give 88
per cent of the tax reduction to
truck combinations weighing more
than 70,000 pounds the big inter
state haulers. -Thev
said these big haulers do
not need the reduction, and that
new highways ' are saving them
money.
"It is absurd lo offer this special
bonus to the big tnicke'S at a
time when many of us are asking
as much as $60 million in bonds
to accelerate our highway modern
ization programs," they said.
They also said trucks are pay
ing 34 per cent of the road costs
now. '
Knipe was supported by Sen.
Anthony Ylurri, It-Ontario, chair
man of the legislative interim
committee that wrote the bill.
Knipe said that because of truck
taxes, it is cheaper for a Southern
Oregon shipper to do business in
San Francisco than it is in Port
land. He said the truck taxes in
California are only a third of what
Oregon are.
"You should pass this bill in
the interest of equity,"- Knipe
said. "Then an interim committee
should study just what the trucks'
fair share should be.
Knipe said he has heard rumors
that the bill would be referred to
the people if the legislature passes
it. Such a referendum would be
"designed to harass the trucking
industry to force us lo spend mon
ey we do not have," he added.
The weight-mile tax on trucks
was passed by the people in 1952
with the truckers opposing it.
