Laughter rocked the crowded courtroom. .Mandy testified Friday that she had sex relations with wealthy and influential Lord Astor. "Miss X" Appears Today's proceedings were fur ther enlivened by the appearance of a "Miss X," who was allowed by Magistrate Leo Gradwcll to omit making her name public. "Miss X" related a meeting with Ward in which she allegedly viewed a "see-through" mirror at Birch Chapter Demands Apology From Governor i Roseburg's Chapter 582 of the John Birch Society drafted a reso lution this week demanding that Gov. Mark 0. Hatfield either name names or "make a public apology" for a statement he allegedly made about the society recently. In the resolution, Hatfield was quoted as saying at the recent Western Governor's Conference in Arizona that, "I'm not saying the John Birch Society is a fascist or ganization, but it has some individ uals equally dangerous." The resolution demands that Hatfield "name those dangerous individuals or make a public apol ogy to the John Birch Society for his irresponsible, unfounded charg es. " JJrVcording to the resolution. Les lie Fleming, society coordinator for the state, has demanded the same action. It says Fleming insists it is Hatfield's "public duty, not only to the people of Oregon but to the Satriotic members of the John irch Society." The resolution also says that members of the society have tried privately to find out from Hatfield who the individuals are "in order to protect the society if it has been infiltrated." It says the gov ernor has refused to cooperate. Changes Noted In Guard Command Posts Two Roseburg members of Co. B, 162nd Infantry, Oregon National Guard, have been named to com manding posts. 1st.

Miss X is listed as the "young lady of utmost respectability" whom Ward allegedly tried to lure into prostitution. Mandy testified that she had tried to commit suicide in No vember over the question of mon ey. This occurred after the death of Peter Archman. a wealthy friend of Ward who died recently. Mandy appeared unflustered on the stand, as she had Fridav when she and Christine Keeler, 21, testified that they had lived for months with Ward. Ward is accused of eight vice counts, including arranging abor tions and living off the proceeds of prostitution. Mandy and Christine, formerly roommates, stunned the court room Friday with lurid testimony about their affairs with i war minister, a Soviet diplomat and the influential Lord Astor. For mer War Minister John Profumo resigned in the scandal. Denies Publicity S eking Mandy denied that she was seeking publicity in brineine ud Astor's name. She said she met Dotn Lord and Lady Astor early in 1961. . ' i . Mandy Insisted that she twice Had met American actor Douglas Fairbanks Jr., who is a favorite at Buckingham Palace. She did not elaborate. Miss X related the events of a party which she, Christine and Mandy allegedly attended in Ward's flat. She said she was shown the "see-through" mirror by Ward. "He could sit there and watch people," she said, "I should im agine making love in the bed room and he sort of made a little joke about it." Miss X testified that she told Ward she would not be interested in watching. Under prodding by the magistrate she quoted Ward's reply as, "My darling, I don't want you to watch. I want you to perform." Mandy had testified earlier that she destroyed a similar mirror in Archman's apartment after she had lived with him for six months. Dancer May Testify Mandy and Miss Keeler were the only two prosecution witnesses at the opening session of the hearing Thursday.

He was the featured speaker at the annual meeting of the chapter in the Elks Temple. The meet ing was given double meaning be cause the American Red Cross movement is celebrating its cen tennial. Padrow told the approximately 60 people present that Americans appear to be assuming "this free society is a free and easy society." He said the self renewing faculty depends on a process of renewal and rebirth "one of new discov eries." In order to avoid stultification, he said, the chapter must learn to avoid the things which work against rebirth. He cited them as lack of flexibility and "an underbrush of procedures and customs." If these had not been avoided, he said, Clara Barton would never have launched the Red Cross movement. He said the factors leading to self renewal are youth, vigor, enthu siasm and a willingness to learn. The meeting wa's also highlighted by the introduction of a new chap ter chairman, Norman Thurnhofer. He succeeds Eldon Caley who held the post three years. Caley received a special citation for his years of service. Other officers are Hazel Saxon, vice chairman; Marie Treber, re elected secretary; and Ivan Pick ens, re-elected treasurer. Chairman Thurnhofer presented Mrs. Robert Franks with a corsage for her work as blood recruitment chairman during the year.

The unscheduled visit to the grave came after another day of triumph in Ireland, where the President wound up a three-day visit with the strains of "come back to Erin" ringing in his ears and a promise to return some day in the future. With the President in the heli copter from Waddington were his two sisters. Mrs. Jean Smith and Mrs. Eunice Shriver. Also along was Mrs. K. L. Billings, friend of the President from New York.

He said Republicans have an "excellent chance" to defeat r resident Kennedy next year. Public opion polls would not in fluence his decision to seek the GOP nomination, he said. "If I decide to run for Presi dent, I'll take the Democrats on regardless of popularity pons," he said. i Newsmen asked Goldwater whether he thought there was an other conservative of sufficient stature to beat Kennedy in 1964. After thinking a minute, lie men tioned Sen. Thruston Morion, R Kv., and Rep. Gerald Ford, R M'ich.

He was Donald E. Lukens, 32, Washington D. C, left, having his arm raised by the man he defeated, Charles McDevitt, 31, Boise, Idaho. Lukens won on the second ballot. McDevitt fell only two votes short of a majority on the first.

Donald E. (Buzz) Lukens, 32, Washington, D.C, Friday edged another conservative, Charles McDevitt. 31. Boise. Idaho, after a wild three-hour convention bat tle that ended with a 318-305 vote for the winner on the second bal lot. SIcDcvitt lacked only two bal lots of winning a majority on the first ballot, but the tide turned when Robert Gaston of Los An geles, the head of the California delegation, withdrew as a candi date himself and tossed his votes to Lukens.

Although Lukens said after his election that he would back any GOP presidential nominee in 1964, he is definitely committed to Goldwater and thus becomes the first year chairman in recent history to name a preference be fore tho nominating convention. It was his "100 per cent" en dorsement of the Arizona senator to the California delegation early Wednesday that was seen by ob servers as tho reason for the California delegation's support tor him Friday. McDevitt. an Idaho state legis lator who drew most of his sup port from the hig Industrial states, maintained the traditional neutralism as to his choice of candidates. Call For Unity Following the wild election bat tle, speakers on all sides called for various factions to unify in the fight against the Democrats. McDevitt said that the fight School Board should accept that bid. He further recommended that because one of the alternates bid by .Mathis was over 50 per cent off the next lowest bid, and in ob vious error, separate negotiations should be carried on for that al ternate with Mathis. The alternate in question was the addition of curbs and gutters, which will come to under $2,000, and can be negotiated for without recalling for bids. The Board accepted the attor ney's recommendation to sign a contract for the base bid of $43, 443 plus alternates for (1) I sup ervised fire alarm system at $763; (2) an intercommunication system at $704; and (3) change to vinyl asbestos tile at $417, for a total contract of $45,327.
