Mitchell, was found innocent Tues day of bribery and conspiracy charges. - His codefendant, Lawrence J, Dcmasi ' Jr., was rearrested on grand larceny charges in connec tion with a $20,000 bribe allegedly offered by two brothers seeking a zoning variance to build a hous ing project. . Dcmasi, confessed "bagman" for Mitchell,' was arrested for his confession that he had taken the $20,000, though he was acquitted along with the city manager on the bribery and conspiracy enarges. , Upon hearing of the verdict Mitchell said, "I feci wonderfully relieved." ' . The controversial city manager, whose get tough relief policies stirred nationwide discussion, had suspended himself from his $14,150 a year position. Ho maintained his indictment was duo to a political frame. The jury deliberated for more than 15 hours. tion, but each with his own story to tell. James Riggs, now 18, sold his story to the Oregon Farmer two years ago. A most unusual tale it tells what four boys did when faced wan a dangerous situation. and how they solved their dilem ma. The story involves a trip taken to Southeastern Oregon by four young students of natural science, who were interested especially in the herpetological (study of reptiles ana ampniDians) mo In the area In the process of their observa Hons, a rattlesnake crawled inside trie trouser leg of one of the boys. How the boys handled the situation without being bitten is the nucleus of the story. Jim plans to enter Oregon State university next fall to study zoolo gy and related sciences. Largely because of his intense interest in herpctology, the Elks Lodge award ed him a scholarship. Mrs. Riggs' story, appearing in Sports Afield, is entitled "We Ran the Rogue Uphill." She was a member of a flotilla consisting of seven boats, six of which made the voyage up the turbulent Rogue successfully. Her exciting tale tells how 18 men and one woman made the 120-mile trip upstream to Grants Pass a trip which only one man had done be fore. Mrs. Riggs easy-to-read story matches another which was of the greatest interest to Roseburg read ers that which told about the 1957 blast; The blast story appeared in the Saturday Evening Post a few months after the tragedy. She was paid $300 for her latest effort. Vtlv. X , I I 1 Hi. POINTS WILL BE WON this weekend bv horse-riding youths toward claiming this saddle ot the end of the year.

It Pays To Patronize Newt - Review Advertisers California Governor Raps Nixon On Cuban invaders PHOENIX (UPI) - Gov. Ed mund G. Brown of California Tuesday attacked Richard M. Nixon for a speech in which the former vice president suggested the United States unleash the Cu ban exiles. Brown, a Democrat who won his second four-year term by de feating Nixon last November, told newsmen at the Western Gover nors' Conference "I thought that speech was a disgrace. It was a masterpiece of double talk." Nixon, speaking to the Ameri can Society of Newspaper Editors Saturday, charged President Ken nedy "with pulling defeat out of victory" and called for backing the exiles. Nixon said in Los Angeles Tues day that comment on the speech was overwhelmingly in his favor and blamed bad advice from -the Defense Department for adminis tration actions on the Cuban situation. .But Brown, who spoke to news men shortly after he arrived at the conference in nearby Scotts- dale, charged angrily: ."It's not worthy if a man of his stature." Brown called Nixon s address the kind of double talk that re sulted in his defeat as govenoor" of California. Nixon lost to Brown by nearly 300,000 voles. Despite his attack on Nixon, Brown said he still felt Nixon would play a great roll in na tional Republican pontics during the next year. But the governor said Nixon could not be called a king maker. Asked by newsmen whether he felt New York Gov. Nelson Rock eller or Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona was the best "pigeon" for Kennedy in next year's pres idential election, Brown replied: "Well, I wouldn't want to call Senator Goldwater a pigeon but I think he would be easiest to beat. He represents the extreme right and I think he represents the war party. If we followed his advice we d go to war. However, Brown said Rocke feller is "slipping a little" parti cularly in the western states. Fart of the reason, he said, was the New York governor's financial troubles, with is state budget and the scandal in the state's liquor authority.
