Newspaper Page Texto Rotstein Ouf As Director Of State Youth Work Camp EUGENE (AP) Benson Rot-' stein is out as director of the for tst work camp for youlh estab lished by the state legislature in Lane County. The Oregon State Forestry De-i partment announced Rotstein's resignation effective Thursday. There were strong indications that disapproval of Rotstein's methods of camp operation by state and county officials were behind the resignation. He will be replaced by Glenn lloff, a Eugene elementary school teacher, who has been one of two foremen under Rolstein at the camp. t Rotstein. also a Eugene teacher, had considered the camp an ex periment in management. He fol lowed a policy of having the 20 youths at the camp make their own decisions and run the camp on their own as much as possible. Rotstein plans to return to the University of Oregon this fall to work toward a Ph.D. degree in education psychology. State and county officials have privately expressed disapproval of the experimentation, saying that a public-supported camp was Accident Victim Aware Of Tragedy POCATELLO, Idaho (API "I think they're all gone," said the quiet, bandanged boy on the hos pital bed. "I think my mommy and daddy and everybody died." It was Clifford Thompson's only mention Friday of a tragic truth: He is the sole survivor of a fam ily of six. A dump truck careened off a parked car into the family sta tion wagon Thursday evening. Clifford's parents, Sir. and Mrs. James H. Thompson of Tacoma, Wash., were killed instantly. So was Cheryl Elizabeth, his sister who was 17 months old. Of his two brothers, Earl, S, died on the way to the hospital and John Frank, 2, died some 18 hours later. "I think he does know," a hos pital spokesman said of Clifford. "Nobody has told him this. But like a 3-year-old he's kind of aware of it even though he doesn't seem to be." Clifford himself survived with several cuts, scrapes and bruises, and what may be a shoulder frac ture. What's to become of him? An aunt, Mrs. Dodson Higgin botham of Nashville, Tenn., called the hospital Friday to say she u mted to care for the child. Clifford's father, 28, was a serviceman, stationed at Ft. Lew is, Wash., and the hospital spokes man said Army officials were looking into the question of the boy's fate. Early Saturday, a Ft. Lewis spokesman said Clifford will be flown to Columbus Air Force Base hospital at Columbus, Miss., eanly next week. He explained that this is the closest installa tion to Stewart, Miss., where Thompsons parent? live. not the place for it. Rotstein could not be reached for comment Fri day. The 1961 legislature established the camp on a trial basis as a juvenile delinquency preventa tive measure, through a bill spon sored by Sen. Robert Straub, D Eugene. The state put up $25,000 of the initial budget; Lane County provided ah additional $10,000. The youths at the camp are do ing forest improvement work in the area along Mosby Creek, about ten miles southeast of Cot tage Grove. Benn Hits End Of Legal Road LONDON (AP) Anthony Wedgwood Benn came to the end of the legal road today in his fight to slay in the House of Commons. A special election court barred the reluctant peer from taking his seat in Commons, and its decision is final. Benn can pin only the slimmest hopes on a bill proposed by his Labor Party colleagues. It would allow peers to renounce their ti tlesin the future. The bill might be made retroactive to cover his case, but it has little chance of passage at present. The conservative government, with its majority of 100, has shown little inclination toward the measure. Conservatives fear it would decrease the already de clining prestige of the House of Lords by allowing members to step out in favor of the House of Commons, where the real busi ness of British politics is trans acted. Benn, 36. inherited the title of Viscount Stansgate when his fa ther died last November. He rep resented the district of Bristol Southeast, but the Conservative majority in the House held that his elevation to the peerage au tomatically made his seat vacant They told him to go to the House of Lords and ordered an election for a new representative. Benn won that election, defeat ing the Conservative candidate, Malcolm St. Clair. The House still refused to let him take his seat. St. Clair sued in the election court. But the court ruled that Benn's title disqualified him from run ning as a candidate or sitting in the House of Commons. St. Clair was declared the winner of the election. Bonn is married to the former Caroline Middleton De Camp of Cincinnati, Ohio. 2'SJ 3. IM. & ....

Harvey remarked that Multno mah County will have a surplus food distribution program under way soon and that' this should help alleviate the food problem there. "As a legislator I don't think we have a right to operate the welfare program on the basis of surplus food," said Mrs. Peck from her chair among the visi tors. Legislative approval of the use of the slate funds for surplus food distribution, she said, was based on general assistance food standards of 85 per cent of the minimum U.S. Agriculture De partment standard for health and decency. The surplus food, she said, was not intended as a supplement of a diet at 65 per cent of that stand ard the present general assist ance allowance in Multnomah county, i '.'We are being dishonest if we depend on surplus food to make up the need," said Mrs. Peck. Chairman Harvey said the com mission clearly understood that it was illegal to use the federal surplus food in lieu of welfare aid. "I didn't happy She is a 'fashion model and aspiring actress.

"Which foot did you see Cooley stomp Ella Mae with?" the de fense attorney asked. "The left," said Melody. Lamhros then held up a pair of cowboy boots and said, "With these boots on? How many times did he slomp her?" "Once," the witness said. "Show us how he did it," Lam bros insisted. "You'ro just guess ing, aren't you?" "I was there,' and I saw it," the teen-ager replied.
