It was feared it would be extremely dif ficult to get him alive. Even those who have suffered most from his depredations were hoping he could be taken without injury, although insisting that he must be caught. Residents of the Glide area who have had their fences cut in many places, sheep killed, homes robbed, and where men have been threatened at gun point, undoubtedly feel a great sense of relief. I imagine that another who must be sleeping better than he has for a long while is Sheriff Ira Byrd. ' , The sheriff has been under fire from several directions. A great many people have been very vocal in their 4U4- Cnl...,w.U aVimilln'f lift mftlaafArf TVlPV Hp- H.SHei LailUlin Utnu OUIuvit.il OMUUH4H v ........ .... - - dared he was harmless, that he wanted only to be left alone, that he was being matte more uangeroim u.v puiuu and that, regardless of all else, anyone so adept in the woods and such a great lover of the outdoors shouldn't be caged in a menial institution. Residents Irate Then there are the residents of the Glide-Little River area demanding that the sheriff "do something." .They became extremely irate because of their losses. Rig Steve's liking for mutton wasn't appreciated by ' those whose animqls were killed. Women, it was stated, were afraid to stay alone at night. Children couldn't be permitted to range over the family farm. Replying to the claims that Solovich was harmless, the residents of the area in which he ranged called attention to the fact that some of them had been driven off their own land at gunpoint. Lives had been threatened. ' ' ' , '.' , : ' The sheriff had been conducting a hunt for Solovich for several months. Outlying camps had been burned. The fugitive was restricted in the size of the area in which he was free to ranee. The sheriff insisted that that Solovich could Tie taken. down, limit his range and cuard. That's exactly the way the case worked out, But some of the residents They contended the chase was taking too long. Solovich should be taken without delay they Insisted. They objected to the "on again, off again'? characteristics of the search, claiming that the sheriff wasn't pursuing the case with enough vigor. v Aid Requested !

Flegel ageed to talk underslftod that the sheriff said of the search. He had men walkie-talkie sets through which. they could keep in con tact with each other.. They hoped to surround Solovich and put him into a position whereby they could capture him. They had expected it might be necessary to wound him, but they were told to shoot, to kill only if their own lives were endangered. The sheriff, it is stated, told Flegel he wanted to give this system a chance to work." If it didn't, he said, he would welcome any advice or help he might get from the State Police and he even superintendent of the State But Solovich was taken. a gun, although he has nearly always been armed when seen previously. But a good many people are unhappy because his lib erty has been taken from him. The fact that he must he locked up is indeed something erlheless our modern society has rules to protect the lives and property of its members. A man with an unsound mind taking the property of others and threatening lives is not tolerated in our society. Consequently, despite the fact that he must be kept confined, such protection to the public is necessary. It is indeed to be hoped that the Veterans Administra tion, if Solovich is returned to it, will remove him from this area. He should be transferred to some other dis trict. Then, the VA should make certain that he does not again become a menace to the general public. Should Actors Seek Out Oscars?

That brings up a statement made recently by Sam Dawson, an As sociated press business news an alyst whose pieces are printed from time to time in this newspaper. He says: "Among our depressed areas, one particular type is perhaps MORE RESENTFUL of its fate than the others. That is the com munity where a chief industry has been hurt by LOSING ITS MAR KETS TO FOREIGN IMPORTS.

These are questions that deserve a lot of careful study by our VOT ERS, as well as by our lawmak ers. I don't know as I get the hang of it exactly. It is called playing the stock market.

Boyle is ill Take Peck At Peck Campaign Started EUGENE (AP) A "Take a Peck at Peck" campaign got un der way this week at the Univer sity of Oregon. It is aimed at State Rep. Grace Olivier Peck, D-Porlland. She angered a group of students by saying, "We've come to a sorry point when students can criticize a legislator." This was because a group of stu dents lashed back at Rep. F. F. Montgomery, DEugene, who had been critical of the university newspaper for printing a fiction feature which he said was ob scene. Mrs. Peck said also at a legis lative hearing dealing with the uni versity, that any money which was available could well be spent to check the foundations of the uni versity to find out where the term ites are. A graduate fellow, David T.es niui. 26, and a graduate student, Claire Lieske. 28. took uo a col lection at the student union build ing to buy space for a newspaper! ad to reply to Mrs. Peck.

Allies WASHINGTON (AP) Presi dent Kennedy's start down a new road on African policy this week, like much he has said and done since entering the White House, was foreshadowed by what he said in the presidential campaign. It's a switch from the policy of the Eisenhower administration and has already pleased Asians and Africans. But if pursued steadily it's too soon to know how far Kennedy intends to go it will almost cer tainly irritate if not anger some American allies and cause diffi culties with them. Repeatedly dgnng the campaign Kennedy, promising a new atti tude toward Africa, used this phrase: "We must ally ourselves with the rising tide of nationalism in Africa." And even before that his secre tary of state, Dean Rusk, was part of a group which said pretty much the same thing about the kind of attitude this country should have toward Africa. In 1959 Rusk was chairman of a study panel set up by the Rocke feller brothers Fund, after study ing American foreign policy prob lems, he said: "Today the United States is in the position of en couraging by practical, on the spot measures the emergence of a new political order (in Africa). It has an equal interest in seeing the era of colonialism pass, and in seeing that disorder and vio lence do not succeed it." Twice in the past two days this country in the United Nations has given evidence of following the policy both Kennedy and Rusk said was necessary. The first was Wednesday night when Adlai E. Stevenson, Ameri can ambassador to the United Na tions, lined up with the Soviet Union and three African-Asian Delegations in the Security Coun cil on a resolution calling for re Editorial TOURISTS AND SALMON Curry County Reporter Editor Forest Amsden of the Coos Bay World commented last week on the furor raised in Gold Beach over the bills to permit taking of industrial water from the Dm, m nnrt inlimala that cnlmnn' are a dying race and maybe the Gold Beach area should get on the pulp mill bandwagon and forget about the salmon. Amsden neglects two factors in this one is the size of the present sports fishing and tourist industry to the area. The yellow pages of the telephone directory for the south coast area list 18 motels for the Coos Bay, North Bend, Em pire area with a combined popu lation of 19,757. This same direct 11. 1111s same uireci- ory lists 19 motels for the GoW I f d b't , j t Beach area with a population of Lnce from , paJning ind deveop. a a 1 1 it,. 1 Iment man who demonstrated a A second factor is that salmon , mark d ,ack o knowledge 0 . runs on the Rogue have held "PI other subject. rivers. The salmon on the Rogue can certainly use some help but the prospects are by no means hopeless. Two years ago Henry Mastin. resident biologist of the'nroDosal is deari at least for the state game commission, tabulated present session of Congress and op figures for numbers of fish caueht' ponents and proponents are closer by commercial fishermen on the Rogue in the 1920s and early HUs and sport caught salmon in the 40s and 50s. These figures are for spring salmon only and use an average of 20 pounds per salmon to give the number of commercial fish caught. From 1924 to 1933 the largest number of spring salmon caught bv commercial fishermen was 12, 796 and the smallest 2,094. In the period 1945 to 1958 highest sport catch was 7,750 and lowest was 2,493. At the hearing on one of the bills permitting industrial use of Rogue water a representative from the department of planning and development testified in favor of the bill and ruined what believ-l ability he might have had because he demonstrated a complete ig- norance of the economy of the " His Top forms in Portuguese Angola. Previously this country had al most always lined up with its big allies on colonial issues. For ex ample: Just last fall the Eisen hower administration abstained from voting on a resolution call ing for an end to colonialism as soon as possible. Then Thursday the United States in the General Assembly took a position opposite Britain, France, Belgium and Portugal when it went along with a resolu tion censuring the Union of South Africa for repeatedly ignoring U.N. resolutions aimed at eventu al freedom for the territory of South-West Africa. That area, larger than Texas, has about 540,000 people, including 66,000 Europeans. It seems reasonable to assume that since both Kennedy and Rusk not only had time to think Uirough the consequences of this policy, good and bad, they will, now that they've started it, go on with it. During the campaign Kennedy said the desire to be independent "is the most powerful force of the modern world." He added: "It is vital that we unequivocally place outselves on the side of man's right to govern himself. "Nationalism is the one force with the strength and endurance to threaten the integrity of the Communist empire itself." Kennedy talked a great deal about American help to Africa. None of it has taken shape yet. It is in the formative stage and will probably appear piece by piece. As a first step weeks ago Ken nedy sent his assistant secretary of state for African affairs, G. Mennen Williams, to Africa to look around and get acquainted. Even this trip, when Williams talked about "Africa for the Afri cans," angered some American friends. Comment Gold Beach area. This man testi fied that most of the tourists com ing to his area are from Oregon, whereas the most elementary in quiry would have shown him that ' the bulk of the Gold Beach tour- ists are from California, particular ly the Los Angeles area. The sur est sign of spring in Gold Beach is not flowers but those lovely yel low California license plates.

DO-IT-YOURSELF DUNES Salem Capital Journal The Oregon Dunes National Park than they ever have been. Tor the district s own congressman, Dr. Edwin Durno, dismissed the area as not scenic enough for national park status. Dr. Durno never has been off the highway, obviously. Since the dunes between Flor ence and Recdsport already are al most wholly owned by the public, through one agency or another, why not try a bit of joint effort? Why not put together a do-it-your-self park of roughly national park size but with far less expenditure?

TB Funds Protected By Surety Bond To The Editor: The Douglas County Tuberculo sis and Health Association extends sincere thanks to the individuals and business firms who contribut ed to the 1960 Christinas Seal Cam paign. This money will be used to conduct the association's 1961 program of health education, TB detection, and research. In reply to inquires received dur ing this campaign, the association wishes to state that all Christmas Seal funds are fully protected against loss by a bond which the association has held for many years with a national surety com pany. The TB association also files a statement of income and expendi tures each February, for the cal endar year Dec. 31st preceeding. An annual audit is conducted by a reputable firm who is not a mem ber of the board of directors. We are proud of the many civic minded people in Douglas County who do volunteer work for the asso ciation and wish to publicly thank each one who has contributed time as well as money to make the Seal Campaign the success it is. A special "thank you" to The News Review, the local TV, and radio stations, and auditors for their generous assistance. We will be closing our books soon, if there are those who have not sent their contribution there is still time to do so. Mrs. A Coney Exec. Sec. TB and Health Assn. 222-223 Pacific Bldg.

Horseman Says Cost Of Stalls Too High To The Editor: I believe that the public that read the article in The News-Re-; view on March 15th are entitled to an explanation or should be giv-; en more information on the sub ject of stall rent at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. It has been my understanding that in the rent al business a 1 per cent return! per month on an investment is a good return. The barns at the Fair- j grounds cost approximately $16,500.1 Now if the return was 1 per cent it would be $165.00 per month. There are 62 stalls available for rental which would bring the rent al down to S2.66 per stall. Also in a large rental business 1 doubt if rent is raised due to excessive vacancies. Now to the $6 stall rental of fered by the fair board and man-i agcr, at that price there is no place to store feed or shavings,! so, if you use both, it would be' necessary to rent three stalls and, at the very least two stalls, to he able to stable a horse at the fair grounds. Now as to the statement Mr. Tur-I ley made "That a spokesman for! the horseman association said that all stalls would be immediately; filled with rental horses as a re sult of this action," I would like : to have that statement either pub-i licly rescinded or proven true. Thei Douglas County Horseman's Asso-I ciation asked the fair board for a rental fee of $5.00 per stall with a half a stall given with each rent al for hay storage and that in a reasonable length of time I fcelj sure that all stalls available for rent would be rented. At the pres ent lime at least one-third of the stalls are not fit for rent due to water standing in them. The Douglas County Horseman's Association has contacted two of our neighboring counties for pric-i es (0 be used in comparison with! ours and we have this in writing from the Grants Pass area and' Eugene. In Grants Pass the stall, rental is $5.00 with a place given REVIVAL SERVICES STARTING MARCH 15, 7 P.M. REV. BOST EVANGELIST ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH TENMILE, ORE.

They have approximately 125 stalls available and 50 rented four strincs of lights cost 50c per hour for lighting the arena, with no charge for riding in the arena either by individuals or clubs. In Eugene the stall rental is $9.00 per month which includes nine bales of straw for bedding use, also a place to store feed and a tack room for, rid ing equipment. Lights for the arena are 50c per hr. and riding clubs are charged $25.00 per month for use of the arena. (I understand you can rent a stall for $5.00 if you do not use the straw. This we do not have in writing). Now in Roseburg the stall rental is $8.00 and lowered to $6.00 start ing April 1, this is without any available space for hay, bedding or tack unless you want to rent some additional space. Lights for the arena are $1.50 per hour and riding clubs are charged $25.00 per month for one night per week (with one excep tion the arena is available for 4-If riders on Sunday afternoon free of charge.) In conclusion I feci that this hurts the community as well as the horseman. When prices are high they have a tendency to cur tail what they are high on. These prices, curbing the growth of horse activities indirectly will tend to keep large horse shows and their money far from our fairgrounds. Harland C. DeSpain President, Douglas Co.
