of the Charles V. Stanton Park, Douglas County's newest park. It was named after Stan

Stanton Park Dedicated
Sunday At (anyonville
Douglas County's newest park
was given its christening Sunday
at Canyonville. The park was offi
cially named in honor of Charles
V. Stanton, editor of the News-Review,
who was instrumental in the
establishment of a Douglas County
park system and on hand at the
dedication as special guest.
Stanton, through his editorials
and writing, helped set up what
is now the parks department. It
was established jn 1950 and now
has some 38 parks located through
out the county.
In the address of featured speak
er Glenn L. Jackson, chairman of
the Oregon Stale Highway Com
mission, he said Douglas County,
by virtue of its court action in
1950 of establishing the system and
providing guide lines, some 30
counties of the 36 in Oregon have
since adopted the county parks sys
tem. Douglas County was the first,
and has led the way, he said.
Looking to the future Jackson
said that tourism is fast becoming
the state's second largest industry.
It is now ranked third. At the
present time 12 million visitors
spend some $217,000,000 in Oregon.
This figure will rise by 1970 to a
predicted $375,000,000, he said.
Jackson said the western states
are growing by leaps and bounds
and will someday be a major pop
ulation center of the United States.
He cited that by 1975, a very large
percentage will live in the three
far western states. California will
Roseburg Police Probe
Break-In Try At Pool
An unsuccessful break-in at the
Roseburg Municipal Swimming
Pool was investigated by city po
lice Saturday. A 12-year-old boy
told officers he saw another youth
attempt to force a window with a
screwdriver, and marks were found
on the window sill.
Police were called to the Snappy
Service Cafe Saturday, and two
youths taken into custody for dis
orderly conduct. The boys, both
age 16, were ordered out of the
place several days earlier, and
when told to leave, caused a
commotion, police were told. The
boys were referred to juvenile
authorities.

be so over populated it will have
to turn to Oregon for its recrea
tional needs. Oregon must meet
this need, he said.
The day of scenic drives are no
longer the important rule for tour
ists. They must have activities,
Jackson said. By places such as
the Charles V. Stanton park, we
can meet this need, he said.
Tourism has a direct return, but
it also has an indirect return, he
said. Tournism goes hand in hand
with industrial development. If
heads of industries vacation in Ore
gon and see the opportunities that
lie here, Oregon will soon attract
more industry.
A large crowd of officials and
citizens were on hand at the dedi
cation. In addition to the members
of the present county court and the
parks department, several past
members were also in attendance.
Judge V. T. Jackson of the coun
ty court made the official dedica
ion. Introducing speaker Glenn
Jackson was John Amacher, chair
man of the county Park Board.

Trieste Set
To Seek Sub
ABOARD THE USS FORT
SNELL1NG AT SEA (UPD The
Navv bathvscanh Trieste was ex
pected to dive to the bottom of
the Atlantic Ocean today in
search of the sunken nuclear sub
marine Thresher.
Trieste, towed by the salvage
vessel USS Preserver, arrived
Sunday in the area 220 miles off
Cape Cod where the ill-fated sub
marine disappeared April 10 with
129 men aboard.
Naval experts hope the deep
diving Trieste can locate Thresh
er's hulk and photograph it to
provide additional evidence as to
what caused history's worst sub
marine disaster.
The Navy announced last week
that a court of inquiry which in
vestigated the disaster had con
cluded that a piping system fail
ure allowed sea water to flood
Thresher and plunge her to the
bottom.
As research vessels prepared
for Trieste's descent, a Russian
tanker cruised through the search
area Sunday and refused to an
swer visual signals sent to it by
this vessel.
The tanker, identified as the
Pokyeatan, passed within 700
yards of the research ship Rob
ert Conrad at 11:40 a.m. as the
Conrad trailed a camera along
the ocean floor 8,400 feet below.
At the time, Trieste was 20
miles to the west of (he area,
still under tow by the Preserver.
The Navy said unauthorized
passage of a ship through the
area while Trieste is submerged
could seriously endanger the
bathyscaph and her two - man
crew. Because of her rapid rate
of ascent after a dive, Trieste
could he mortally damaged if she
surfaced under another vessel.

evolutions. During the wall evolu
tion the firemen had to make and
break three hoses, climb the wall
twice and knock off two barrels.
In addition the drill teams com
peted in the bursted hose evolu
tion and the mask and rescue evo
lution. In each event the teams ;
were timed and the winning team

Suspect Held
In Slaying
Of M. Evers
JACKSON, Miss. (UPD A'
slender gun fancier, charged by
the state with murder in the
sniper slaying of Negro leader
Medgar Evers, faced a federal
hearing today on civil rights
charges growing out of the case.
Byron De La Beckwith, 42, was
arrested by FBI agents Saturday
night on the federal charges, and
the state slapped the murder
charge on him Sunday. 1
Beckwith was scheduled to ap
pear before U.S. Commissioner
John R. Countiss HI today in a
hearing to determine whether
there are grounds for charges he
and others conspired to deprive
Evers of his civil rights.
The murder charge, however,
will have priority over the lesser
federal charge.
Evers, slate field secretary for
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP), was shot to 'death out
side his house on June 12 when
he returned from a civil rights
rally.
Beckwilh, a fertilizer salesman,
was arrested at Greenwood, Miss,
after the FBI said a fingerprint
found on a rifle believed used to
kill Evers matched one of his
fingers.
The suspect was widely known
for his segregationist views in his
hometown of Greenwood and was
said to have printed handbills and
distributed them on Greenwood
streets protesting the Episcopal
Church's stand on integration.
Charles Evers, brother of the
slain NAACP field secretary, said
Sunday, "Tne NAACP and all Ne
groes in the stale as well as oth
er citizens interested in justice
and lair play will be watching
to sea u there is vigoroui prose'
B. De La BECKWITH
, , , charged with murder
cution by officials of the City of
Jackson."
Evers called Jackson "a city
which has been embarrassed
before the world aa a result of
this drastic deed." He said he
also hoped that "(hose persons
who may have aided in this con
spiracy will be ferreted out and
vigorously prosecuted."
In Washington Sunday, Atty.
Gen. Robert Kennedy said the
mayor of Jackson and Jackson
police "have made a major ef
fort" toward solving the Evers
case. He noted that Jackson police
uncovered the fingerprint on the
rifle.
The attorney general, who ap
peared on a national radio-television
program, also said federal
agents "have more evidence than
the fingerprints on the gun" in
the Evers case.
He said, however, he was not at
liberty to reveal it.
Kennedy said the government
would defer to the slate of Mis
sissippi on the matter of the
Beckwith trial. He said he had
talked with Jackson Mayor Allen
Thompson about this.

Garden Homes
Annexation
Ordinance Due
An ordinance calling for a public
hearing on the proposed annexa
tion of the Garden Homes area
adjacent to NW Calkins Road will
be read at the Roseburg City Coun
cil meeting tonight.
The council will also discuss
adoption of an ordinance regulat
ing "dust oiling" within the city
limits. Action on other ordinances
will include the third reading on
two ordinances wheh aro for re
newals for present franchises. They
are (I) granting U. S. Plywood
Corp. a franchise to opcrato and
use a railroad track; (2) granting
to the Oregon Broadcasting Co. a
franchiso to provide a community
television antenna system.
The council will discuss a plan

on tho proposal by the Bureau of
Municipal Research and Service to
assign a planning technician to the
Roseburg area.
Mayor Thomas Garrison is sched
uled to report on the status of a
West Coast Airlines petition to
change its schedule to Roseburg in
view of new limitations on the use
of F-27 aircraft at municipal air
port. West Coast has filed a proposal
with Federal Aviation Agency to
discontinue use of DC-3 aircraft on
all Western Oregon flights and use
instead the turboprop F-27. The
firm has indicated Roseburg can
not be served with F-27 since take
off and landing requiremcnls for
this plane have changed since the
time when F-27s were last operat
ed out of this city. According to
West Coast, use of F-27s into Rose
burg Is now completely impractic
al. The Implication of tin's finding
upon the schedule is that, were
West Coast to continue its two
trips per day, DC-is would have to
be used, a fact which tho firm con
tends would alter Its proposed con
version to the F-27 In Western Ore
