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.

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

this one major element of decline

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.

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
