Political chatter:
The quiet assumption among
most Republicans attending the
party's national committee meet
ing in Seattle this week appears
to be that Governor Nelson itocke
feller of New York will be t h e
party's 1964 presidential nominee.
The talk goes thus:
Contributors will probably be re
luctant to put their money on the
line to finance pre-convenlion ac
tivities for any Republican hope
ful in view of the prevailing opin
ion that President Kennedy is prac
tically certain to get a second
term. Rockefeller doesn't have to
go outside his purse to finance such
a campaign.
The concensus:
"There is only one COP candi
date at this time and that's
Rock."
Which Is to say:
The 1964 campaign is shaping up
as one in which only rich men
need apply.
What of Nixon?
This is the conclusion:
If he loses in California this fall,
he's a goner anyway. If he wins
in California, he is in honor bound
to serve out his term which
eliminates him in 1964.
More from Seattle:
In the talk among the members
, of the party's national committee
who are assembled there, there is
solid support for the idea that Sen
ator Barry Coldwater deserves at
least second place on the 1964 tick
et as a spokesman for the party's
conservatives.
Hmmmmmn.
Suppose as seems reasonable
now that Governor Rockefeller
Is the GOP nominee in 1964. He
Is an avowed and apparently sin
cere member of the party's liberal
wing. Senator Goldwutor is an
avowed and wholly sincere conser
vative and is the accepted lead
er of the Republican party's con
servative wing.
Question:
is it the concensus at Seattle
that the GOP should again go be
fore the voters carrying water on
both Bhouldcrs?
It doesn't sound like very good
atrategy.
Nudity With Taste
Promised At Fair
SEATTLE (AP) More nudity
but "with good taste" was prom
ised Monday for persons attending
"Backstage U.S.A." at the Seattle
World's Kair.
Harold Shaw, fair performing
arts director, said he would wel
come more nudity if presented in
good taste and the managers of
"Backstage U.S.A." have signed
exotic dancer Carl Vaughn from
San Francisco to fill I ho bill.
The dancer will feature a new
format based on "old fashioned
showmanship" and less clothes,
according to Ralph Matlack,
house manager. Matlaek is broth
er of the show's producer, Jack
Matlack.
Both said they and other show
street managers concurred with
Shaw that the entertainment
street could use more schmaltz
Ralph Matlack said originally
the show had planned for more
"semi nudity" but the show's
backers got off the path.
Visitors now tee girls covered
ill the time, Matlack said,
adding:
"We are not going to present
constant nudity, but frequent
peeps. All, wo hope, with the con
tor's blesbing."

SAY A PRAYER FOR JIM!
By Charles V. Stanton
Roseburg baseball fans are intensely devoted to Amer

That's one reason why the accident to Jim Wassom, one

Wassom was hit on the head with a pitched ball in a
recent game. At the time he appeared to have suffered no

Opinions
Reader Against Federal
Park Idea For The Dunes
To The Editor:
Thanks for the clear explanation
and statement of facts contained in
your excellent editorial on the Neu-bcrger-Duncan
Oregon Dunes park
compromise proposal June 9. The
editorial very plainly showed me
concerted effort of the Neuberger
and National Park Service factions
in trying to drive a Dunes Park
down our throats.
One would think after two sena
torial hearings, a subcommittee
hearing in Oregon, all three over
whelmingly opposed to the Dunes
Park idea and the pirating of our
recreational areas and assets, that
the lady senator would drop her
ridiculous and frivolous park idea
and lend her great intelligence to
the important and dangerous
problems that threaten the very
life of the Nation. In my opinion,
she is simply wasting her time and
the salary paid her by the taxpay
ers.
Dr. Edwin Durno is the only Or
egon representative to desire earn
estly the true facts. He spent some
two weeks in the area thoroughly
investigating all facets of the park
idea. He came up with the convic
tion that it was ridiculous and a
waste of tax money.
Carl risher, who won the Re
publican nomination to succeed Dr.
Durno, has voiced the opinion that
the idea has been wrung dry of its
political worth as a vote-getting
gimmick.
The question was asked in your
editorial why Oregon land should
he deleted forcibly and become a
federal benefit? The answer is so
clear and vivid that we cannot see
it. But I did think you knew it.
The National Park Service and
the Bureau of Land Management
are both agencies of the Depart
ment of the Interior. This depart
ment is endeavoring to annihilate
the II. S. Forest Service. The For
est Service is a branch of the De
partment of Agriculture. Hence the
hue and cry for large buffer areas
to National Parks, thereby raiding
Forest Service, state, county and
private lands, some already de
veloped for recreational use. The
idea is to deliver these lands into
zealous bureaucratic control.
The National Park Service is, in
fact, just a holding company for
the Department of Interior and is
operating under a guise of tour
ism. This, I believe, is your an
swer. I can find no statistics that

Oil Executive Dies
Of Gunshot Wound
NEW YORK (AP) Taylor S.
Gay, $90,000 a year oil company
executive, died Tuesday of a gun
shot wound inflicted while he was
on a date with his office secre
tary. The woman's brother has
been accused of the shooting.
The brother, angered at atten
tons shown his sister by Gay,
stalked the executive for several
weeks and finally maneuvered a
showdown with him Monday night
in a railroad terminal.
Doctors worked vainly for more
than 20 hours to save the life of
Gay, a vice president of the rhil-

This is the second of two articles
dealing witb Oregon mining claims.
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Two federal agencies which con
trol vast, areas of Oregon's poten
tial mining country and the direc
tor of the state Department of
Geology and Mineral Industries
arc in sharp disagreement on what
makes a valid mining claim.
This has brought conflict over
efforts of the Bureau of Land
Management and the Forest Serv
ice to remove houses from 150 to
200 claims, concentrated mostly
in Josephine and Jackson coun
ties. A few are up the Santiam
River in the Quartzville area. And
some are in scattered parts of the
state.
BLM and the Forest Service are
engaged in a program of ending
what they call trespass. This tres
pass principally consists of build
ing houses on claims which are not
valid.
Whether they actually-are valid
is a matter of sharp dispute.
Trespass Eyed
Hollis M. Dole, director of the
state Department of Geology and
Mineral Industries, says the agen
cies "are inserting the test of
marketability." He calls t hi s
counter to court decisions and all
past history.
Russell Getty, head of the Port
land BLM office, says that a claim
"must be feasible for a prudent
man" to be valid. He agrees this
opens the door to argument. -
An uranium mine, for example,
would have been a great find for
any man a few years ago. But
would a prudent man do any work
on one now when uranium can't
be sold?
There is the argument.
Handicap Noted
Dole says it is obvious that a
miner's cabin in the forest may
be a handicap to BLM and the
Read
ers
a camp is not a matter of where
it is located, but one of need. My
understanding of the site of the
school camp is land offered by a
citizen in the Myrtle Creek area.
The Myrtle Creek people may
rightly be proud of having such a
farsighted citizen in their midst.
Projects are as successful as the
vision of the people who back
them.
Since the ills of society are
caused by the individuals one rubs
shoulders with, we all have a con
tributing part, so why pass the
buck?
Before you strike back at that
statement, digest it, because your
words and actions will belie the
very emotional difficulty that you
condemn in these children who
strike back at their environment
in various devious ways or retire
fro.n it.
The greatest vote of confidence
this project will ever get is if in
dividuals will first, reckon with
themselves instead of others; sec
ond, readjust their values of life;
third, put their hack to the wheel
whichever way they are able and
help carry the load; fourth, de
velop themselves and their reas
soiling abilities to the fullest and
when their time comes maybe they
too may have left something worth
while for posterity.
The ability of the county court
to carry out its obligations to so
ciety in a more effective way is
through the vision of this school
camp.

William Walsh, president of the
State Board of Higher Education
said Dr. Rice will take over Aug.

Roy Licuallen, new chancellor of
the tate System of Higher Edu
cation. The faculty screening commit
tee at OCE examined more than
100, candidates before selecting
several names for submission to
the state board. A number of Ore

The board was unanimous in
choosing Dr. Rice, Walsh said.
"We feel we are most fortunate
in adding his name to the dis
tinguished list of presidents of
state system unversities and col
leges in Oregon," Walsh said.
Before going to Rhode Island,
Rice was on the faculty of the
Department of English at Brig

to 1960. He became dean of the
College of Humanities and Social
Sciences in 1957 and prior to that
he had served as chairman of the

In 1959-60 he worked on post doc

that particular piece of land.
Last year, the agencies report,
no cabin was actually removed.
Four were allowed limited contin
uation, under permit.
Bill Pending
A bill in Congress would give
occupancy rights to some of those
now considered trespassers, Get
ty says, and while it is pending
the occupants are not interested
in dickering for a settlement.
None of this applies to patented
claims because the patent gives
the holder ownership. But great
numbers of claims are not patent
ed, for a variety of reasons. Last
year in Oregon, says Stanley Les
ter, acting head of the Land Of
fice, only about 10 patents were
issued and IS to 20 new applica
tions went on file.
Meanwhile, there are perhaps
as many as 200 Oregon forest area
homes and cabins whose future is
in doubt. The state's mining chief
sees this as part of an attack on
the ailing industry. The federal
agencies ca'l it holding the land
