Headline Hurried
Distance Dialing
It won't be 1963, but 1966, when
direct distance dialing comes to
Hoscburg.
A headline in Friday's Nows-Ro-vlew
said the direct distance dial
ing was scheduled for Roscburg
In 1963. .
Quoted In th story was Cliff
Thomas, manager of the Roscburg
office of Pacific Northwest Bell.
He said DDD, by which a long
distance call can be made to an
other city by dialing instead of
through an operator, is tentatively
programmed here in 19C6. He said
the switchover might take place
sooner because of technical ad
vances, but it also depends, he
said, on investment money avail
able and resltuation of employes.

i J.L
Bank Asks To Be Relieved
As Trustee For Cemeteries
A civil suit is pending in Circuit
Court in which The Oregon Bank
seeks to be relieved as trustee fur
trust funds for the Roscburg Me
morial Gardens at Roscburg and
the Park Lawn Memorial Gardens,
Inc., located in Wasco County.
Roseburg Memorial Gardens, Inc.
and Laurel Lodge 13, A.F. and
A.M., are named as defendants in
one suit, and Park Lawn Memorial
Gardens, Inc., as defendant in the
other.
DA N.mtd
In both cases, Disl. Atty Avery
W. Thompson is also named as a
defendant, as having an interest in
the matter in the administration of
trusts. Laurel Lodge is a defend
ant because Roscburg Memorial
Gardens, Inc . is purchasing the
properties of the lodge which had
been operated here as the Masonic
Cemetery.
Some question has arisen as to
why the Park Lawn Memorial Gar
dens suit was filed in this county,
even if the principal managing
agent of both cemetery corpora
tions, Robert A. Dudley, lives in
Douglas County on Del Kio Road.
In asking to be relieved as trustee
for the cemeteries, The Oregon
Bank claims that the cemetery
corporations had failed to comply
with the terms of the trusts by
failing to file monthly statements

Under terms of the agreement
for trust, filed with the suits, the
cemeteries are to deposit 15 per
cent of the sales price of each
grave, with a minimum of $5; $5
for each niche and $15 for each
crypt, to provide an endowment
for perpetual care of the cemetery.
The plaintiff in both cases seeks
decrees accepting its resignation
and appointing a successor trustee.
It asks that it be empowered to
transfer, assign, convey and deliv
er the remaining assets of the trust

ed and after acceptance of the
trust by the successor trustee. The
bank also asks for acceptance of its

The Oregon Bank later took over
the trust. The U. S. National Bank

Prison Guard
Held Hostage
By Convicts
NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C.,
(UPI) A group of 10 to 20 con
victs armed with gasoline bombs
remained barricaded in a prison
auditorium today with a guard as
hostage.
Three hundred other Inmates of
the federal penitentiary here re
fused to return to their cells in
a sympathy demonstration with
the barricaded convicts.
Warden Tom Hall said the situ
ation was becoming "explosive."
He said the guards armed with
tear gas have herded the majority
of the prison's 300 inmates into
a hall housing the kitchen and
dining room but some of the in
mates are beginning to "act up."
A few ' windows have been
smashed. J
The maverick prisoners armed
with gasoline bombs seized the
guard during a bomb attack after
the evening recreation period Fri
day night. They took the hostage
to the new west wing auditorium.
Hall said three of the prisoners
had personal grievances against
the penitentiary administration.
He did not disclose what the
grievances were.
Prison officials said they could
not rescue the guard until the 300
other inmates are returned to
their cells.
Fifty Royal Canadian Mounted
policemen stood by armed witn
rifles and tear gas. City police
men also stood ready at the
scene.
One of the home-made bombs
was reported to have caught fire,
injuring a convict, but he is be
lieved to be suffering from only
superficial burns. A doctor was
requested but the request was
turned down. Prison officials sent
in a packet of medical supplies
instead.

Spanish Reds
Chief Executed
MADRID (UPI) Spanish Com
munist leader Julian Grimau
Garcia was executed by firing
squad at dawn today for crimes
against the state.
The execution of the 52-year-old
underground leader was carried
out despite appeals for clemency
from fellow Communists in many
parts of the world, including So
viet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev.
First word of the execution
came from Grimau's lawyer,
Amindino Rodriguez. A govern
ment announcement later said
the Communist leader went to his
death "at dawn."
Grimau was sentenced by a
scen-man military court after a
one-day trial Thursday on charges
of military rebellion and crimes
against, the state. ,
Newsmen in the area of the
prison reported a firing squad
had been ready for an execution
since Friday afternoon, presum
ably waiting for the outcome of
a cabinet meeting and confirma
tion that Gen. Francisco Franco
would not change the sentence.
The government's position was
that Grimau; who was found guil
ty of crimes during the 1936-39
Spanish civil war, had to pay
with his life for the alleged killing
and torturing of Nationalist fol
lowers of Franco 25 years ago
just as World War II criminals
paid the penalty for their of
fenses. Rock Talk Featured

Brews Over
CD Budget

was brewing here today over the
drastically reduced Civil Defense
budget approved Monday by the
Houses

funds, then indicated aid might
not be cut after all.

$50,000 CD budget for a three-per
son agency attached to the gov
ernor's office. .Hatfield had re
quested $195,000 to finance a 20
man agency.
The civil defense budget has not
yet been assigned to a Senate
committee. The assignment may
hinge oh what action federal offi
cials plan.
Hatfield Friday Issued a press
release stating "Rails has flatly
stated in writing that the proposed
three-person budget would mean
the end of the (federal matching
fund) help for Oregon."

Idaho Youth
Still Missing
MURPHY. Idaho (UPI) A 70-
man search party, bolstered by
airmen from Mountain Home
AFB, followed a slim trail today
in search for a missing 19-year-old
Idaho youth.
Bloodhounds, belonging to Glenn
Hoffman. Nyssa. Ore., . were

wife.
Cold ground hampered search
ers and bloodhounds late Friday.
The dogs were taken this morning
back to the Owyhee Mountains
where the youth had wrecked a
snow-cat vehicle near Silver City.
Meantime, officers said they lo
cated some new tracks near the
border which might be those of the
missing youth.

Living Away From VA Hospital
Often Beneficial For Patient
(This is another in a series of
articlas dtscribing tha significant
work under way at tha U.S. Vet
erans Administration Hospital in
the rehabilitation of rwuro-psychia
trie patients).
The "home care" program an
arrangement whereby VA Hospital
patients are placed in community
settings to further their rehabilita
tion has been significantly suc
cessful. Last year 41 veterans were es
tablished in these supervised set
tings, such as foster homes, nurs
ing homes or "trial visit status"
situations. Eight men were placed
in foster homes and 16 in nursing
homes.
When the year (1962 ended, 26
men remained in special place
ment in the nursing or foster
homes. Of the original 41 men, 15
were either discharged, returned
to this facility or died.
Progress Good
"Many times we are asked how
these men do away from the hos
pital," comments James Gwaltney,
social service worker at the hospi
tal. "Actually,.' in most instances, the
veterans do much better than they
would in the hospital. The hospital
can only proceed so far in the
treatment of any illness, and then
the rest is up to the patient. Prior
to leaving, each man is evaluated
on the basis: Is there any more
that the hospital can do for him?
"When the answer is 'no,' then
planning away from the facility is
certainly indicated."
When a patient leaves the hospi
tal, the very fact of his leaving
gives the patient a notion of his
improvement and therefore his ex
pectations about himself are dif
ferent, Gwaltney pointed out.
Furthermore, the opportunity to
reside in a different location is
generally beneficial. Particularly
is this true in a family home set
ting, the social worker noted.
"Many men who have begun
their first transition in a nursing
home have progressed to a point
where they are able to move on
to family homes. Without excep
tion, they are considered a part
of the family with whom they are
living.

In most community placement
cases, the veterans do not have
any family to which they may re
turn. Without an opportunity to
live in a community situation, they
would probably remain in the hos
pital forever, he said.
The cost of maintaining a pa
tient in the hospital has been placed
at $14 per day. That means that
the 26 men living away from the
hospital at the end of the year
were providing a savings to the
hospital .f $364 a day or ap
proximately $11,000 per month.
Each man pays for his care from
his own funds while away from
the hospital.

Of the eight veterans placed in
family home care during 1962, five
were over 60 years of age and
three between the ages 40 and 59.
No men under 40 were placed in
private home care. Two of these
men had been hospitalized for
more than 10 years and the others
also had been hospitalized for pe
riods ranging from less than one
and up to nine years.
The men selected for the nursing
homes were established in such
facilities because they required
more supervision than could be
provided in a family home situa
tion, Gwaltney explained.
None of the men placed in nurs
ing home care were under 60, and
the oldest was over 80. Their prior
hospitalization ranged from two to
37 years. Collectively, these 16 vet
erans had been hospitalized 238
years or an average of 15 and Vt
years.
Supervision Given
Patents residing away from the
hospital arc under supervision of
a private physician. A nursing
home must be licensed. Private
family home patients reside in
homes which have been thoroughly
reviewed by a home care social
worker and also by the fire mar
shal or county health department
to determine if the home meets
fire requirements. Sanitary and
other facilities of the home must
also he adequate.
Each veteran, after placement
in cither a private home or nurs
ing home, is seen at least once
a month by the social worker from
the hospital, who assists in the
ongoing supervision, financial plan
ning and medical follow-up for the
veteran while he is in residence
at one of these settings. Another
resource called on heavily by so
cial service is the volunteer who
assists the social worker in prelim
inary studies of foster home appli
cants, visits veterans after place
ment to provide transportation,
shopping tours, familiarization
with the cominunily, and generally
being a friend to the patient who
is usually in a community with
which he is not acquainted. Last
year, volunteers contributed 414
hours to this community placement
program and "did an outstanding
job in working with veterans who
are again living in a community,
and not in homes of relatives or
family," Gwaltney said.
It is interesting to note that na
tionally, since the inception of the
community placement program
about 12 years ago, the total num
ber of veterans returned to the
community has meant a total sav
ings to the Veterans Administra
tion equal to the construction cost
of another VA hospital.
