Solons Urge Retention
Of U.S. Electoral College
WASHINGTON (AP) The
chairmen of the two major poli
tical parties urged Congress today
to retain the Electoral College.
But they disagreed on other
changea in the method of electing
presidents.
Chairman John M. Bailey of
the Democratic National Commit
tee called for a constitutional
amendment to prevent electors
from deserting the candidate to
whom they are pledged.
Chairman William . Miller of
the Republican National Commit
tee urged the adoption of a plan
by which electors would be chos
en by congressional districts, with
two being named at-large in each
state.
The two chairmen reached one
major point of agreement in sep
arate testimony prepared for the
Senate Constitutional Amendment
subcommittee.
Both proposed that when no
candidate gets a majority of elec
toral voles and the election has
to be decided in. Congress that all

Strong assurances of continued
U.S. economic support for Paki
stan's $5-billion five-year plan
were expected to come from the
meeting.
The two leaders were to discuss
tne Kashmir question at their sec
ond White House meeting Wednes

Pakistan's economio development
problems.
Ayub will be host to the Ken
nedys tonight at a formal dinner
in a downtown hotel.
A communique wilt be Issued
before his departure Friday for
New York aboard a U.S. Air Force
plane.
U.S. and Pakistan officials both
agreed that Ayub's visit here so
far has cleared up misunderstand
ings and improved U.S.-Pakistan
relations.
Wants Indian Meet
Pakistan officials made no se-
crct of their desire that the Unit
ed States take a more prominent
role in inducing India to meet
with Pakistan at a conference ta
ble to arrange a settlement of the
Kashmir dispute.
Pakistan has held out far a pleb
iscite conducted by the United
' Nations to decide whether Kashmir
belongs to Pakistan or India. In

House he permitted to vote. Such
contests now are settled in the
House, with each state delegation
having one vote.
Bailey said he thinks the flaws
in the present Electoral College
system are "more theoretical
than real." He came out against
a national presidential primary,
which Sen. Estes Kcfauvcr, D
Tcnn., chairman of the subcom
mittee, has proposed in the past.
Bailey said the cost and the
time required for campaigning for
the nomination in such a primary
"might exclude some men who
would make superior presidential
candidates."
But the Democratic chairman
said he thinks action ought to be
taken to prevent electors exercis
ing the right of voting for some
other candidate when they are
chosen on a particular ticket.
"This loophole provides a pos
sibility of deviation from the ex
pressed will of the electorate that
might be highly dangerous in a
close election," he said.

lines around blackened 63,000

The largest fire, which centered
about 15 miles south of the park,
has burned 38,000 acres, con
sumed two mountain villages and
trapped and killed a couple flee
ing in their car.
Dean Schlobohn, State Division
of Forestry dispatcher at Fresno,
was optimistic. I
"If we get a little rain, wilhout
the winds, we should be able to
control this fire in two days," he
said.

fire fighters made progress wilh
a blaze that began in Calaveras
County Sunday and raced south
into Tuolumne County, covering
25,1)00 acres.
Nature helped the fire haulers
as winds died down, but a human
menace plagued them.
An arsonist set two brush fires
Wednesday near Jamestown. The
blazes consumed hundreds of
acres but no buildings, a forester
said.
The large fire flared uo Tues
day, burning the Madera County
communities of Nininnawasee and
Ahwahnec. Only a few buildings
were loll slanding.
Only known casualties were M.
and Mrs. (ieorge Kipp, both in
their AOs, who were burned to
death in their car on a mountain
road as they fled Ahwahnee.
forestry officials said most of
the uncounted evacuees were tak
en in by residents of nearby
communities.
State Division of Forestry dis
patcher John Gookin said the new
blazes in the boulder-strewn
Jamestown area were quickly con
tained, nut predicted fire fighters
wilt have a hard job in extinguish
ing them.
He said a pyromaniac has
plagued the area for several
years.

Storm May Provide
Fast Test For New
Hurricane Hunter
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
A weather disturbance in the
Atlantic could provide a quick
test for the new camera-carrying
Tiros III hurricane-hunter satel
lite.
The 285-pound satellite rocketed
into orbit Wednesday to photo
graph and perhaps discover the
cause of tropical storms. Within
hours, the Miami Weather Bu
reau reported a disturbance
southeast of Puerto Rico, 400-600
miles east of the Lesser Antilles
Above-normal shower activity,
clouds and moderate winds were
reported from the area. Weather
officials said over-all conditions
were not favorable for hurricane
development, but Navy hurricane
patrol planes were to make a
thorough aerial investigation.
A Tiros project officer said
Tiros III probably would pass
over the disturbance zone today
and there was a possibility its
two television cameras would ob
tain pictures of the potential
storm.
A Thor-Della rocket boosted the
meteorological satellite into an
orbit ranging from 460.74 to 506.52
miles above the earth. It circles
the globe once every 100 minutes
On its first pass, Tiros III
transmitted 35 pictures showing
cloud cover formation over New
foundland, the Gulf of St. Law
rence and the St. Lawrence Val
ley region.
Officials of the National Aero
nautics and Space Administration
described the photos as ' excel
lent."
If project officials suspect the
disturbance in the Atlantic could
develop into a hurricane, they
can command the two cameras
to take pictures when the satellite
is over the weather system. The
photos will be stored on magnetic
tape and played to ground sta
tions at Wallops Island, Va., or
San Nicolas, Calif., wncn Tiros
HI passes overhead. .

Episcopal Minister Claims

Hoffa's Fraud
Case Dismissed
TAMPA, Fla. (AP)-A federal
judge dismissed today the govern
ment's mail-fraud case against
Teamsters union President James
R. Hoffa and two other men.
Judge Joseph P. Licb threw out
the case against Hoffa, Henry
Lower and Robert E. McCarthy
Jr. on the ground (hat the grand
jury that returned the indictment
against the three last year at Or
lando was improperly selected.
This was the main argument uf
defense attorneys.
In Washington, Atty. Gen. Rob
ert F. Kennedy noted in a state
ment that Licb's decision did not
involve the merits of the charges.
He said the Justice Department
could either appeal from the de
cision or submit the charges to a
new grand jury.
Lieb said in a 13-page decision
that state lists, which excluded
women and people not registered
to vote, were used to make up ine
jury box.
Lieb said " apparently tne jury
commissioner (Alan Bixby) and
the deputy commissioner (Mildred
Durrance) were either unaware ot
the change in the law or forgot
about it, for they deliberately ana
exclusively limited their selection
of names for the jury box to those
persons who were then registered
to vote and in the case ol women,
to those who had also volunteered
for jury service in the stale
courts."
The judge said dismissal of the
indictment did not necessarily ter
minate the prosecution. He added
that the government could present
its case again to the grand jury if
the jury were properly selected.
Hoffa, Lower and McCarthy had
all been charged in a 12-cmint
indictment with using the mail,
interstate telegraph and telephone
facilities in a scheme to defraud
the government.
The indictment said thry mis
used more than $500,000 in union
funds "for personal profit" in op
eration of Sun Valley Inc., which
bought 2,475 acres south of Cape
Canaveral six years ago.

The Rev. Grant Muse, white
pastor of the Church of the Good
Shepherd in Berkeley, told news
men that he and other riders were
abused and ridiculed by their
jailors.
He said in Parchman peniten
tiary, where he spent half his
time after his arrest in Jackson
jailers used a type of handcuff
called a wristbreaker and goaded
rider prisoners with rods charged
wilh electricity.
Muse said he and another pris
oner shared a cell, 6 by 9 feet,
with a basin, toilet and 'two cots.
"For the first two days food
was adequate. But after that we
existed on corn bread, green
beans and chunks of pork fat with
two- or three-inch bristles on it."
Riders were fed large doses ol
a mixture called Black Annie,
milk of magnesia in blackstrap
molasses. Muse said.
He was one of six San Francisco
Bay area riders arrested June 20
after they had entered a Negro
waiting room in Jackson.
He was sentenced to four
months but was released when the
Congress of Racial Equality paid
his $500 fine.
When they were transferred
from Jackson to Parchman prison,
he and the others were loaded into
trucks like cattle, Muse said.
As they approached small
towns, the drivers would turn on
sirens and flashing red lights.
"Then they would stop and let
the natives look in at us and
jeer," he related.

Becky Undergoes
Foot Operation
SEASIDE (AP) Becky Roe
ver underwent surgery this morn

last week when she fell down an
oceanside cliff.
The 12-year-old girl lay injured
in a rocky cove for three days
before she was found Monday by
a fisherman. She has been under
going treatment in a hospital for
exposure and dehydration.
Today she was sufficiently re
covered to undergo a general an
aesthetic for surgery for a bad
gash on her right foot. The gash
exposed the tendons.
Her mother, Mrs. William Roe

skin graft operation may be
necessary later, Mrs. Roever said.
The Roevers, who live at Belaire,
Texas, a suburb of Houston, plan
to return home as soon as Becky
is recovered. .
Father Gives Own Life
To Save That Of Son's
LEHL Utah (AP) A father
gave his own life for his son's
Wednesday. He leaped into a sewer
trench and, with his body, shield
ed the boy from the full force of a
cave-in.
The collapsing dirt pushed 36
vear-old contractor Darrel Adams
face into the opposite wall of the
trench, and a chunk of asphalt
pinned his head in that position.
Rescue workers, digging franti
cally, were too late to save Adams.
But beneath the dirt, cradled be
tween his dead father's knees and
arms, they found 14-year-old Rich
ard Adams still alive.
The boy was hospitalized over
night for observation.

and Harry Hill and Carrol Sensa
baugh, three years.
Progress of the present building
program also took a big slice of
the long evening.
Roof Structure Questioned
Clerk of the Works Ed Clark
made a report. One result was a
decision by the board to ask archi
tect Ken Morin of Eugene to send
the board a letter attesting to the
adequacy and structural stability
of roofing elements at the new
Fir Grove School. The purpose is
to determine responsibility if the
roofing is unsound.
Another snag in the building pro
gram was the report by Business
Manager Smith that roofing on the
new addition to Joseph Lane Jun
ior High School had begun slip
ping. Representatives of the roof
ing manufacturer were scheduled
in Roseburg today to determine
what should be done about it. The
roofing is sandwiched paper and
tar with gravel sprinkled on top.
Another subject which took con
siderable time in the four-hour
meeting was a discussion of a pro
posed questionnaire for determin
ing qualifications for appointing an
agent of record for the district's
insurance programs.
Expert Writes Letter
Board Member Joe Dent intro
duced a letter from an expert on
the subject which was reproduced
for study by the board. They will
meet in a special noon session Fri

Lightning Kills
9 Farm Workers
CLINTON, N.C. (AP) The
farm workers were in the field
harvesting tobacco when a typical
summer shower started.
The workers, all nine of Ihem,
sought refuge in a nearby barn,
as they had done before, leaving
the cut leaf under a shelter, plan
ning to return to their tasks after
the shower ended.
For eight of them, there was
no return.
A bolt of lightning smashed
down the barn door, seared
across the damp ground and cut
them down in an instant, leaving
no mark on their bodies. ;
Several other people in the' barn
were unhurt. '
Among the victims was the
sharecropper couple operating the
simple farmstead, Oscar and An
nette Cottle. Another was a 70-year-old
Negro woman. The rest
were teen-agers.
The lone survivor from among
the nine was Eugene Daughtry,
16, who was hospitalized for
shock. "I guess I was mighty
lucky," said the strapping Negro
youlh.
"I had my head against one
curer." he went on, "and I saw
the lightning when it came in.
Something seemed to hit the back
of my head. Then I heard the
thunder, and that's all I rcmem- -ber."
The door was knocked off its
hinges by the lightning bolt, but
the barn was otherwise hardly
damaged.
Killed in addition to the Cottles
were William Keel, 13; Mary
Morrisey, 70; Joyce Ann Mathis,
13; Ludie Mathis. 18; Earl Bell,
15; and Samuel Newkirk, 16. All -but
Keel and the Cottles couple
were Negroes.
