Guests included city officers, heads of the city's banks and var ious financial institutions, and oth er friends of the company. The Roseburg carillon, it was explained is the 10th installation. The bells have become a "trade mark" of the association. The bells were designed and built by Schulmerich Carillon Bells, Inc., of Sellersville, Pa. The inventor, hearing some of the noted caril lons while in Europe, decided they could be reproduced electronically, i His "bells" consist of-tiny, round b. jnze bars. When ttruck by elec trically operated hammers, they produce a tone identical with the giant bells, some weighing as much as five tons. The tone is amplified as much as one million times, giv ing a vibrant sound identical with the cast bells of the old carillons. Music Broadcast A cluster of stentors (speakers), mounted on a tower atop the building, beam the music of the bells over an area of two or more miles.

Miss Maud Shaw, is looking after her infant brother, John Jr. "Mrs. Saltonstall had only time to prepare her children for the pool when she suddenly heard one of the mothers say, 'Is she all right?' "She looked over toward the pool and saw Caroline in the mid dle of the pool alone, holding onto a board raft. But even as she looked, the raft flipped away from Caroline's hand and she started to go down. The water was four feet deep there, over her head. Rescuer 'Expecting' "Without any thought of her own condition, Mrs. Saltonstall, whose third child is expected in two and a half months, ran to the pool and jumped in before the other parents and nurses had fully taken in the situation. "Unknown to the other adults, Caroline's nurse had gone into the house to change into her bathing suit. "By the time Mrs. Saltonstall got to Caroline the little girl had gone under. However, when she pulled her up the youngster seemed unaware of what had hap pened. Her only reaction was one of surprise.

Special Money Used A specially-prepared half dollar was found inside the machine when it was opened by the own ers shortly after the youths were taken into custory. Police said there was no appar ent connection with Wednesday night's incident and similar indi dents which have occurred in the city during the past months, other than that the system used to bilk the machines was basically the same.

Webberley spotted the youths in the self-service laundry building shortly after 11 p.m. and pulled his patrol car around behind the building.

Teamwork Noted Webberley said he was able to watch the youths through a window and saw one of them manipulat ing the machine while the other put the quarters in his pocket. He said the youths made a verbal ad mission of the offense. Laundry owners Lei Carr and Don Glenz arrived at the building and checked out the machine, find ing the prepared half dollar in the machine and that portion of the changer empty.

In a 10-minute speech of defense on television, Thompson said: "I do not believe that courts or grand juries are above criticism, but I think it is a dangerous thing to criticize the administration of jus tice until the critic is familiar with what is going on. I submit that our record is the best of any dis trict attorney's office in the state of Oregon." Critic Mentioned The critic mentioned, of course, was Warburton, who has recently criticized the district attorney for what he says is failure to prose cute in a case in which $475 was found missing in the city Police Department funds. Among other things, Warburton intimated Thompson's record as district at torney was poor. During his speech, Thompson ticked off his appraisal of his of fice's record. Using 1960 as the "last full year of my administration," he cited these statistics. - 1. Felons convicted 214. He said this was in excess of Jackson and Klamath counties and within shduting distance of Marion Coun ty which is "roughly double" in population over Douglas. He said these convictions were secured with only two deputies, while Mar ion County has five. 2. Acquittals totaled three. Eight Trials Won 3. Jury trials, 11. Thompson said eight of these resulted in convic tions. 4. Misdemeanor cases, too nu merous to mention. He said, how ever, 13 drunken driving cases were won, against only one acquittal. 5. Appeals of demurrers to the Supreme Court, two. He said these I appeals "resulted in making new law in Oregon where there was no law before." The cases were that of the state vs. Alicia Tauscher for embezzlement and state vs. Pacific Powder Co. for manslaugh ter. "I defy the city manager to name another law firm anywhere in civil or criminal practice that has successfully consummated 214 lawsuits out of 217 tries," Thomp son said. "I am glad to announce that the grapevine in the Oregon State Penitentiary carries the ad monition for hardened criminals to stay out of Douglas County." Diligent Effort Credited He went on to say he attributed "our success" to diligent effort. Above all, he said, the DA's office has the cooperation of all police agencies. "The combined effort of innumerable people has resulted in a fine record of successful pros ecutions." Harking back to the case of the missing money in the police de partment, Thompson said he and City Attorney Paul Geddes had iTnis n IT 3 BALLED SHRUBS 14 OFF Hanging Baskets GERANIUMS Reg.

(The grand jury still has the case, but Thompson says the information received so far is too skimpy to bring about an indictment.) Warburton, against whom Thompson says he has "no per sonal pique" would not comment on the speech today, except ta say: "My feelings are still th$ same." Cut In Funds Hits ; Welfare In County A reduction in general assistance, allocations for the Douglas County Welfare Commission for the month of July, today caused Jack Sum merfield, commission administra tor to predict a possible cut in food allocation. "Because of limited budget this fiscal year, it is possible the food standard will be cut and a person, receiving it might possibly get as little as 75 cents a day for food," he said. Summeriield said at present a single man who is ill and cannot work, gets general assistance on a basis of 90 cents a day for food. "However, with seasonal work, available, it is our hope that able men will enter it. In light of this, it is our hope we will not have to cut standards this month," he, said. The basic allocation of funds for the welfare program comes from the state level and is based on federal and state funds available. Last month, Summerfield's of fice received $17,680 for general assistance. This month that figure is cut to $9,500. Summerfield said it is one of the lowest budgets the office has received for many months. . Calvin K. Beck Calvin K. Beck, 61, died at his Days Creek home Sunday.
