WPA carpenters threw together a rough replica of the Globe theater of the. Bard's own ume Students, housewives and young professional people were recruited in that Dre-television era to re hearse and rehearse so the Fourth of July celebration committee could advertise: "Tonight Shake soear.

Bowmer is still in charge, as croducing director, and tonight Rescuers Seek Missing Thai Crash Victims BANGKOK, Thiland (UPI) -Rescue workers renewed the search today for 17 bodies still missing In the crash of a United Arab Airlines jetliner which claimed the lives of all 26 per sons aboard, including three Americans.

(UPI) Dr. Billy Graham said Friday night that Americans have a harder time reaching heaven than other people of the world "because our wealth comes between us and God." The Baptist evangelist addressed standing-room crowd of better than 25,000.

Now a Gospel minister, Pastor Move was converted to Christianity at the age of 6 along with his headhunting parents. He was ordained 1 1 years ago and is now superintendent of a mission station in New Guinea, He is in the United States to attend the World Conference of the Seventh-day Ad ventist church and was a speaker Monday at the Rose burg chur,ch. 0 the Festival opens Its 22nd sea son some years were skipped during World War II in a $275, 000 open-air theater with the most modern but authentic Elizabethan stagecraft and a staff and cast of talented pros. It's one of America's most astonishing cultural success sto ries. Without the name of Strat ford as in Connecticut and On tario, without name stars, the Ashland Festival has quietly es tablished a reputation as center of the Shakespearean revival. Bowmer has been the guiding genius and around him has gath ered a dedicated corps of direc tors, actors and business and publicity staffers drawn from a cross the nation. College and uni versity drama professors consider Ashland a privileged pilgrimage each summer. Charles Laughton saw the com plete repertory last summer and told his old friend, Bowmer, it was the finest Shakespeare he had ever seen. Gov. Mark Hatfield heads the list of state officials and college Dresidents who will attend the ceremonial Feast of the Tribe of Will in picturesque Lithia Park to nighta giant barbecue prepared by the Junior Chamber of Com merce of Medford. The feast traditionally proceeds the festival's opening production. It begins at 6 p.m. pst. Highlight ing the affair will be "The Maske of the Wood" featuring' music and dances in the Elizabethan manner. Pipers will lead patrons up torch-lit paths and into the theater to begin the evening's play. Then the lights go up there is no curtain on Comedy of Errors, which opens a season jasting until Labor Day. Other plays, presented in rotation, are "Henry IV, Part Two," "As You Like It," and "Coriolanus." A music - dance production, "A Thieves Ballad," opens Aug. 6 fol lowing "Comedy of Errors" and will follow each "Comedy" per formance thereafter. No wrest ling anymore. Bowmers dream was an un likely and wistful imagining of with a weed-grown and dili- tated Chautauqua building, whose NEW CUSTOMER service manager for the Roseburg Montgomery Ward store, is Doyle Cook, 28, of Roseburg. With the firm in Roseburg for the past seven years, Cook formerly had charge of tele vision repair for the store. His promotion puts him in charge of the store's repair facilities for customers merchandise. Cook is married and has three daughters. (News-Review Pho to) - ' ... .

(UPI) - A white couple's fight to adopt a 6-year-old Negro orphan continued today amid assurances by the State Board of Child Welfare that racial prejudice would not be a factor in its decision.

Jockson Street Roseburg, Oregon Cabinet Post will name a U.S. Senator, Con gressmen, and state officials. It was felt that electing a mayor on that date would sir local interest and bring out more Democrats whose votes would help candidates in state races. The new date for Celebrezze to leave means the primary to choose candidates for mayor will be Oct. 2 with the mayor being elected Nov. 6. Celebrezze, originally scheduled to resign effective 10 a.m. Mon day, said a new date on which he will leave office was to be de cided later today at a meeting with Law Director Ralph S. Loch- cr and other cabinet members. Celebrezze decided on a brief postponement in order to save the city about $125,000 in the cost of a special election. The delay was sanctioned by President Kennedy. the decision was expected to have a major bearing on the chances of the Democratic state ticket in November, in which Gov. Michael V. DiSalle is in a tough race for re-election. If the mayoralty election coin cides with the general 'election, Democratic state candidates were expected to profit from a heavy Democratic vote in Cleveland, a mayors race would arouse. But if the election for mayor was held Oct. 30, as planned un der Celebrezze's original resigna tion plans, it was felt the Demo cratic organization here, long at odds with DiSalle anyway would ignore him and concentrate on an effort to capture City Hall.
