Railroads Set Date For Rules WASHINGTON (UPI) The nation's railroad! announced to day they will place new work rulei into efftct at one minute alter midnight July 11 despite union warnings that such a move would trigger a national rail strike. J. E. Wolfe, chairman of the railroads' negotiating committee, said union refusal to accept rec ommendations of a White House hoard has led to "a complete breakdown" in talks designed to end the dispute. President Kennedy on June 15 asked both sides to undertake in tensive efforts to settle the dis pute until July 10 without chang ing the rules or calling a walk out. The new rules would result in elimination of thousands of jobs and make sweeping changes in working conditions for 200,000 men who run about 95 per cent of the trains In this country. The railroads announcement came as Labor Secretary W. WH lard Wirtz called in Wolfe and heads of the five rail unions to make proposals looking toward a settlement. But Wirtz said no real prog ress had been made on Key is sues including whether firemen are needed in diescl locomotives in freight and yard service. Wolfe said negotiations so far nave Deen a jionuw ihi"" of bargaining. But he told a news conference thai tndnv's announcement "docs not preclude consideration of any constructive suggesuons uy President, the secretary of labor or any other Interested party. He said the railroads have ac cepted recommendations from presidential boards but charged that the five unions have "ada mantly refused to make any realistic concessions." "The refusal of the operating unions to accept any part of cither set of presidential board recom mendations In the railroad fcath erbedding dispute has caused a complete breakdown in . negotia tions," he said.' , ' Since ' every stop under the Railway Labor Act has been ex hausted, Wolfe said, the railroads notified the unions the new rules will be placed in effect at 12:01 a. m. Thursday, July 11. Kennedy has warned that the nation cannot tolerate a paralyzing rail shutdown and said that ho would seek legislation to prevent any such tlcup of basle transpor tation facilities.

The Food Mart WILL BE OPEN THURSDAY JULY 4fh City Submits Answer To Airline Petition On Flight Schedule The city of Roseburg has sub mitted to the Civil Aeronautics Board its answer to a West Coast Airlines petition for review of a CAB denied request to overfly Roseburg on two afternoon flights. The original application of the airline was foiauthority to overfly Koscburg on northbound flight 303 and southbound flight 322. West Coast contends it is losing money on its service here. After the denial by CAB, the air line firm submitted a petition for review. The answer filed by City Attor ney Paul Ceddes for Roseburg contends that the record of pas sengers emplaning from Roseburg is not a true test of the passenger generating ability of the city. The answer states that "schedules of West Coast Airlines have discour aged rather than encouraged" lo cal passenger business. The city's statement further points out that when West Coast Airlines service was first inaugur ated some 12 years ago, "the con cept and primary purpose . . . was that of serving the area as a 'feeder line' and to provide local service. The apparent purpose at that time was one to supplement the main trunk lines of larger air lines. "This concept. . .apparently has now changed to the point that West Coast primarily strives to com pete with the trunk lines, rather than to serve its original purpose in supplementing them and serving as a feeder line. "If this is true, that fact alone would constitute an explanation for at least a rather substantial portion of the decline of passengers emplaning from Roseburg in recent years by reason of the fact that the schedules and services to this community have been insufficient moot local requirements. "Of course, it is conceded that development of highway through fares also has been a substantial factor in passenger decline. . .. Nevertheless, any attempt on the part of West Coast to attribute Roseburg Chamber Names Directors ' Kenneth Glass, owner of Ken's Martmizing, and Jack Snodgrass, secretary - treasurer of Roseburg Lumber Co., have been elected to fill vacancies on the board of di rectors of the Roseburg (Area) Chamber of Commerce. They replace Frank Norton and Eldon Caloy, holh of whom resign ed because of the press of other coniniilmcnls. The board decided to purchase additional Welcome to Roseburg placards and these will be avail able for business places to disnlay. A hope was expressed that those having placards loft from last sum mer will display them prominent ly the balance of the tourist sea son.

The city's statement points up the importance of air service to the VA Hospital, Hanna Nickel Smelting Co., wood products firms and other industries of the area. Comment is also made to the airline firm's amendment to the petition which asks a schedule change in Roseburg in view of new limitations upon use of F-27 air craft at the local airport. The firm indicated it plans to change over to F-27 aircraft in its Western Ore gon operations. "The city. . .believes that the (contention) that these restrictions make F-27 operations into Rose burg impractical is wholly errone ous and that the petitioner's judg ment that the performance factor of F-27's into Roseburg would per haps be 25 per cent is likewise erroneous," the answer points out. The city requested additional time to study the amendment. The city summed up by asking for a hearing on the petition matter if the CAB decides to con sider it. Toketee Rd. Urged For Lake Visitors Area residents planning outings at Diamond Lake or Lcmolo Lake over the Fourth of July were ad vised to travel the lower road through Toketee due to construc tion work under way on the Big Camas route. This lower road through Toketee and Clearwater Camp (via the old Copco road) can be used between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. At other hours, motorists must use the Big Camas route, according to Dick Piatt, Diamond Lake assist ant ranger. The nighttime closure (from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following day) for the lower road will be in ef fect tonight and Thursday and Friday nights. Forest officials noted that the Big Camas road is under construc tion and logging traffic can be expected on this route today and Friday. Logging trucks were not expected to be operating on the July 4 holiday, however, or next Sunday. The Big Camas route is report ed to be passable and not too mud dy. The roadway is narrow, how ever, and in a section near Big Camas motorists will find it diffi cult to find turnouts to pass other cars. The route will be particularly bad for vehicles pulling house or boat trailers. These conditions weren't slop ping vacationers today, however. Plait said the Diamond Lake Campground was receiving a heavy influx of recreation seekers this morning and all camping units were expected to be filled early. The "overflow" of campers will have to find othr places to camp, he noted.

Stipheni OR 3-8166 Dr. Ward Must Stand Trial, Judge Decides LONDON (UPI) A judge who heard lurid testimony from play girls and their male companions today ordered society osteopath Dr. Stephen Ward to stand trial on charges of living on immoral earnings in Britain's sex-and-securitv scandal. The 50-year-old Ward pleaded innocent to the charges against him. His lawyer said Ward would reserve his defense for presenta tion in court later. The judge's ruling came on the third dav of a pre-trial hearing for Ward, who was charged with eight vice counts, including aiding abortion, luring teen-age girls into prostituion and living off earn ings of prostitutes. Ward, the man wlo introduced playgirl Christine Kcelcr to for mer War Minister John Profumo and touched off a scandal that has ro"ked Britain, was granted bail of 55,600. The bail was cov ered by two sureties of $2,800 each one of them put up by Ward's literary agent, Pelham Pound. The court ruling came after a middle-aged mystery man testi fied he had sexual relations with Miss Kecler in Ward's apartment and found her to be "an amusing companion." Owner Needed For $1,241 District Attorney Avery W. Thompson has $1,241 he doesn't know what to do with. It s not mat he doesn't want the money, but it doesn't belong to him or his office. He's not sure just who is the right ful owner, so has filed suit in Cir cuit Court to have ownership de cided legally. The money belongs cither to George Thad Thompson, priprietor of the Drain Drug and Variety Store, or to Jiaynard Fred Ed wards or Mena Kim of Los An geles. The money was found in the car of Edwards and Miss Kim on May 12, 1E62, when they were stopped by state police near Grants Pass, after George Thompson reported like sum of money was missing from his store. He told officers the money was counted and sacked ready for banking. ! Subsequently, Edwards and Miss Mill were ancMeu iui larceny oi the money and indicted by the Douglas County Grand Jury. A "not guilty" verdict was returned on trial of Miss Kim in Circuit Court here. However. Edwards has not boon made available for trial, because he currently is serving time in a California prison, and authorities there will not release him for trial. Exoneration of Miss Kim does not exonerate Edwards nor release Ih money, so the case pends. Meanwhile, the money ln ques tion remains in the hands of the district atlo'ney, where it was placed after being offered as an I exhibit in the trial of Miss Kim. ! The district attorney, in his suit asks a decree of Ine court per mitting the plaintiff to interplead and requiring the defendants to come forth and specify their claims. The money is tendered into court, for the determination of who is entitled to it. George Tnompson and his wife already have a civil suit pending asking" recovery of the money.
