Reedsport Myrtle Creek
Set Dates For Festivals
Plans have just begun for one
community celebration, and are
well under way for two others in
Douglas County this week.
The dates have just been set by
the Myrtle Creek Chamber of Com
merce for its annual Mvrtle Creek
si Festival. The festival is sched
uled Aug. 9 and 10.
A major planning meeting for
Big 6 Officials
End Spring Meet
CARMEL, Calif. (UPI) ' Big
Six officials concluded their spring
meeting today without making any
historic decisions, but with a sur
prising showing of unity.
Just about everyting was
"unanimous" when it came to
voting and there was no friction
'on anything.
The leaders even agreed that
they would support the United
States Track and Field Federa
tion 100 per cent in its battle
for control of amateur athletes
with the national A.A.U.
"We are behind all the federa
tions strongly," said retiring
President Dr. Bradford Booth.
The other federations tangling
with the august Amateur Athletic
Union are in baseball, basketball
and gymnastics.
The council even agreed that
Oregon and Oregon State are
"making progress" in bringing
their educational standards up to
the level of those at Big Six
schools and thus some day may
be eligible for admittance, if they
want it.
At the closing session Friday,
Dr. Rixford Snyder of Stanford
was named the council president,
Stan Bates, Washington State ath
letic director, was named secre
tary. And Pete Newell, California
athletic director, was re-elected
to a two-year term as treasurer.
Among the items approved dur
ing the four days of sessions, was
a petition to the NCAA asking it
to use a regional blackout when
a college football game is being
televised nationally.
The Big Six also wants all its
schools to enter a team in every
conference sport. Most of them
do. However, Washington and
Washington State don't have wa
ter polo teams. And Southern Cal
ifornia, does not have a wrestling
team.
Five of the six clubs have crew
as a sport. But nobody suggested
building a lake for the inland city
of Pullman, Wash., so that the
Cougars could join the crew fun.

Cuban Says Red
Troops In Move
Against Rebels
SAN JOSE, Costa. Rica (UPI)
A Cuban refugee spokesman
said nere Friday night Russian
troops are moving into action
against anti-Castro insurgents in
Cuba.
Luis M. Martinez, spokesman
for the Cuban Refugee Commit
tee, quoted what he said were
radio renorts from Cuba saying
- mere nas o e e n an intense
movement of Russian troons and
militia units under orders of Rus
sian officers toward the west
central section of (Cuba's) south
ern coast."
Martinci said at least 3.000 an
ti-Castro guerrillas had landed at
various points along Cuba's south
coast during the past three weeks
to link up with anti-government
forces already operating there.
Refugees in the United States
have said they will demand U.S.
aid if Russian troops attack reb
els in Cuba.
(In Washington, the State De
partment said "small bands" of
refugees may have infiltrated
Cuba in recent weeks, but added
it has no evidence of major
military landings on the Island,
(Department spokesman Rich
ard T. Phillips said a "very
careful check" had convinced the
U.S. government that the number
of possible infiltrators is small
probably fewer than 50.)
Martinez described the report
ed landings as "part of a devel
oping movement which will
draw reinforcements from all
refugee groups in a determined
effort to overthrow Premier Fi
del Castro. .
The refugee spokesman said
the infiltrators staged their land
ings from "Caribbean bases" and
"points on the mainland" pre
sumably meaning Mexico or Cen
tral America,
He said the operation had no
U.S. backing.
Landings will continue until the
infiltration has built up into a
full-scale insurrection, Martinez
said.

The Ixioking.'ilass store has been
in operation continuously, with the
exception of the lew months from
the first of this year, since the
1850's when opened by two Jewish
men, the Ziniski Bros. According
to information obtainable, the suc
cession of owners through the
years included:
Billy Cochran bought the busi
ness from the Ziniski's. Jim Good
man, the next owner, was followed

to Will Arnold, tlio uncle ot Mrs.

Foster and Arnold conducted the
business for some time and then
sold to Wylio Miller, who operated
