2 The Newi-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Wed., July 24, 1963 Witnesses Relate Sordid Story Of Goings-On At Ward Apartment LONDON (UPI) A bleached blonde street walker testified to day that Dr. Stephen Ward picked her up one night in his white sports car and told her he could introduce her to a better class o people. Eight minutes later she had ac ceptcd Ward's proposition, she said, and was installed in the bed room of his apartment. The testimony was offered at Ward's morals trial by Vicki Bar rett, 20, who said she used to be brunette but recently dyed her hair blonde. She has a police roc old as a convicted prostitute.

Wilson, district ranger. Presentation was made Friday at a staff conference and came as a complete surprise to the recipi ent and his fellow workers. Wright's idea had been submit ted almost two years ago and local ly the matter had been forgotten, Wilson said, until the check, to gether with a letter of commenda tion from Supervisor Vondis E. Miller of Roseburg arrived last week. The ranger explained that Wright's idea was stimulated by the necessity to revise by hand boundary poster signs to desig nate other than clcarcut sales. He proposed a new sign with a blue Permit Closures Due On Forests SALEM (UPI) Nine forest areas in Klamath and Lake coun ties will gn under permit closure beginning Friday.

In Prisoner's Dock Through it all. Ward sat in the prisoner's dock of Old Bailey court listening to the evidence that was piled up against him after the revelation that he was the man who introduced Miss Keeler to Profumo and to Soviet naval at tache Capt. Kugene Ivanov. The uproar that resulted from these introductions cost Profumo his job and nearly toppled the government of Prime Minister Harold Macnil Ian. Eylan, who came to the witness stand dressed in a dark business suit, testified that he met Chris line early in 1061. He said they were intimate and that he paid her money, usually $28 or $42. He said he also loaned her money which never was re paid. "How did she make the re quest?" the prosecutor asked. "She asked for money for her mother or some girls," he replied. Evlan said he also took Chris tine to restaurants and places of entertainment because lie found her to be an amusing and attrac tive companion. - Earlier after hearing Miss Iti cardo a testimony that she had lied to police, Justice sir Archie Marshall, in red robes and grey wig, told the jury to disregard the evidence she had given in the trial. background and appropriate letter ing for use on partial cuts and salvage sales.

R. BURNETTE Of Sonoma, California JULY 24-31 tech tvtnini at 7:30 r.M. No Service Set. Sunday 11:00 AM 7:00 M of The C & MA Ron Claion, Potior Miss Richardo took the stand Tuesday following the explosive testimony of Marilyn (Mandy) Rice-Davies, who told the court she had been intimate with Doug las Fairbanks Jr., the former ac tor who now is a London business man. (In New York, Fairbanks' pub lic relations counsel Tuesday night issued a denial of Miss Rice-Davies' accusation.) Ward, the society osteopath who introduced call girl Christine Keeler to War Minister John Pro fumo, starting Uie affair that nearly brought down Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan's cabinet, is charged with living off the earnings of prostitutes and trying to entice young girls into prosti tution. He has pleaded innocent. Profumo has since resigned from the cabinet. Callad All Thrt. The crown called all three girls as prosecution witnesses to sup port its charges that Ward ac cepted money they had earned as Drostitutes. nut miss Kicaroo, a lormcr I nightclub dancer who told the court she has at least one con viction for prosititution, said she had lied at a pre-trial hearing when she said Ward invited her to his apartment to meet men who paid her money for sexual relations. She said she gave false infor mation to police and at the hear ing because she was afraid po lice would take away her apart ment and baby. "A lot of people have asked me lo change my evidence," she I added. i Justice Sir Archie Marshall told her "very seriously. . .to consider your position overnight" before returning to the stand today. If Miss Ricardo did lie at the prc-lrial hearing, the prosecution case against ward would oc named, because it is based part ly on the girls' testimony that Ward profited from their affairs with men. More Shocks In Store Mandv. the teen-age blonde who shocked the pre-trial hearing with a charge that she slept with Lord Astor, millionaire property owner and newspaper proprietor, had more shocks in store Tuesday.

Ward's defense attorney, James Burge, charged that Miss Rice Davies mentioned Fairbanks only in order to command a higher price for her memoirs. "Why did you mention him?" Burge demanded.

Myrtle Creek Hears Report The Myrtle Creek City Council at a special meeting Tuesday night heard a report from Mayor Robert King on work projects needed for ! the city. King s report was based on a study made since the last regular council meeting, according to Lorraine Birenbaum, corre spondent. The report, which dealt with street, park, sewer and other la Major Religious Faiths Support JFK On 'Rights' WASHINGTON (UPI) Promi nent representative! of the nation three major religious faiths joined today in backing President Ken nedy's full civil rights program as a moral and practical necessity. They urged Congress to pass it immediately with a prayer that the racial struggle "will remain a social revolution and not degen erate Into civil chaos." The testimony was read before the House Judiciary subcommittee by Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, chief executive officer of the Presby terian Church, U. S. A., who re cently was arrested while taking part in an anti-segregation demon stration. He read a joint statement on behalf of himself; the Rev. John F. Cronin of the National Catholic Welfare Council, and Rab bi Irwin M. Blank of Englewood, N. J., chairman of the Social Ac tion Commission, Synagogue Coun cil of America. Blake said the "religious con science of America condemns racism as blasphemy against Go. It recognizes that the racial segregation and discrimination that flow from it are a denial of the worth which God has given to all persons." He said denial of the basic rights of the individual is immoral. A number of national religious organizations joined with the clergymen in supporting the pro gram and Blake said these groups and the Negro people also are aware of "the disabilities upon Spanish-speaking Americans, In dian Americans as well as upon people of Asian background in the United States. "There is growing dissatisfac tion with gradualism and promises of future progress," Blake testi fied. "There can bo no further de lay in keeping faith with the responsibility to put the principles we profess and the obligations that we acknowledge into ac tion," he said. The Presbyterian official said the President's civil rights mes sage "clearly sets forth the need for legislation." The statement defended each of the White House requests individ ually. It said the controversial re quest for a public accommoda tions law "is not a drastic step. . . nor is it an invasion of property rights as some have claimed." PTA Groups Seek Kindergarten Site Fullcrton School and Fir Grove School Parent-Teacher associations arc looking for a new home for their kindergarten this fall. The Westside Christian Church. which has been used in the past, is no longer available, as the church docs not feel justified In making repairs required by the fire mar shall to comply with kindergarten requirements. According to Mrs. William Stiles, kindergarten chairman, about 50 children have signed up, making the need for two class room areas to handle about 25 children each. A location is sought in the gen eral area of the two schools. Any one knowing of an available build ing is asked to call Mrs. Jack Smith (672-3668) or Mrs. Robert lnscorc (673-4314). Caleb Earl McDaniel Funeral services for Caleb Earl McDaniel, 22, of Yoncalla, the vic tim of an automobile accident ear ly Sunday morning, will be held Friday at 10 a.m. at the Yoncalla Church of Christ.

Cool Weather Forecast The five-day weather forecast according to the Weather Bureau station at the Roseburg airport calls for temperatures averaging below normal with highs mostlv 65 to 75 except 75 to 85 in the Southwestern Oregon interior. Lows will be 4 to 55. A f e w showers are expected about Fri day or Sunday. City Council On Work Plans cilities, was turned over to City Engineer Don Martin and City Supt. Darrell Bowman for addi tional study and scheduling of work according to priority. Considerable meeting time was devoted to discussion on mainten ance of the hill road to the spring from which the city obtains its water supply, some of said road being through private property. The new owner of the largest parcel of privately-owned land had requested clarification as to respon sibility of road maintenance, Mrs. Birenbaum reports. The city at present has a fran chise to partially maintain t h e road according to city usage. The five property owners concerned have indicated they will request paving by the county Road De partment and the city agreed to pay a proportionate share of the cost if this is done. The distance involved is about one mile. In other action, the council de nied a request by Darrell Bowman for permission to park a trailer house on a foundation within the city limits, as this is prohibited by residential zoning code. Also discussed was multiple use of water meters resulting from more than one user being on prop erty served by a single meter. Or dinances concerning this situation as in effect by other cities will be studied before action is taken, Mrs. Birenbaum said. Trouble Postpones Syncom II Launch CAPE CAVAVERAL (UPI) The scheduled launching today of the Syncom II communications satellite was postponed because of technical difficulties in the space craft's antenna, the National Aero nautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced. A NASA spokesman did not elab orate on the nature of the anten na difficulties which delayed the launching. The shot will be post poned for at least 24 hours. The first Syncom satellite was launched Feb. 14 and achieved a successful orbit, but radio contact was later lost. The trouble was believed to have stemmed from either an electrical or nitrogen tank failure. As a result, the Syncom II has been extensively modified. If suc cessful, it will be capable of two way telephone, teletype and fac simile transmissions. The Syncom shot had been set for mid-morning. Scientists plan to place Syncom II into a so-called synchronous or bit 22,300 miles above the earth. In synchronous orbit a satellite would appear to hang stationary over one spot on earth because it revolves at the same speed the earth rotates on its axis. Two Plead Guilty To Contributing Pleas of guilty to charges of con tributing to the delinquency of mi nors were entered by two men in Circuit Court before Judge Don H. Sanders Tuesday. The judge accepted the pleas and ordered pre-sentence investigations in both cases. The men were Duell Pippin, 24, Suthcrlin, and Orval Almo Baker, 39, Myrtle Creek. Pippcn had been charged in a Grand Jury indictment with statu tory rape of a 15-ycar-old girl, but he was allowed to plead to the less er charge and the rape charge has been dismissed. The offense as al leged took place May 25. Baker admitted inducing a 15- ycar-old Myrtle Creek girl to leave the home of her parents and drive with him from the city on April 5. He earlier had pleaded innocent, but chanted his plea. Baker and the girl were picked up in New Mexico In June. She was returned by her parents and he by the sheriff's department. In vestigation showed Baker had come to Mvrtlc Creek with the girl's family this spring. The girl left by school bus tor Myrtle Creek High School, then met Baker in town and they left together.

Independent Salmon End Strike For Higher By United Press International Independent commercial salm on fishermen along the Washing ton and Oregon coasts ended their spontaneous "strike" for higher silver salmon prices today when most buyers agreed to pay 32 cents per pound. The packers also raised Chinook prices two cents to 37 cents for small, 47 cents for medium and 67 cents for large fish. Many fishermen at Coos Bay, Newport and Florence returned to the sea today and the rest were planning to go out Thursday morning. In the Astoria-Megler Ilwaco area, Louis Wright of Bumble Bee Sea Foods at Astoria said he understood most of the fisher men would remain in port until Thursday. The fishermen agreed to tie up their boats last week when the price for silvers hung at 25 cents a pound without rising when the fish became larger, as it had in past years. Estimates Varied Estimates of the number of boats laying in at the height of the tie-up varied widely, but Leon ard Hall, member of the Oregon Fish Commission, set the figure at about 90 per cent of the 3,000 licensed boats along the coast. Other estimates were as low as 600. Wright said the break came in fishermen's meetings at Westport, Wash., Monday and Tuesday when Bay Fish Co. of Seattle offered 32 cents per pound. He said representatives of the fishermen then approached Bum ble Bee's outlying stations at Newport, Florence and Ilwaco, Wash., with the Bay offer. Hallmark Met Offer Hallmark Fiseries at Charles ton also offered 32 cents after Weekend Show Set For Agate Hounds Rock hounds and agate fanciers from all over the Northwest will ex hibit their collections Saturday and Sunday at the 21st Annual Agate snow to be staged in the Delakc Grade School by the North Lincoln Agate Society.

Members of other agate and .min eral societies throughout the North west have been invited to bring displays. All the steps of polishing agates will be demonstrated con tinuously throughout the show and each visitor will receive a free beach agate as a souvenir. Show hours Saturday will be from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Delake Grade School is located on Highway 101 just north of D River in Delakc.

City Will Ask Reconsideration Of Traffic Signals The city of Roseburg will ask the state Highway Department to reconsider the city's request for signalization at the W. Bellows and W. Harvard Ave. intersection just west of the Interstate Highway 5 underpass. Highway department officials have indicated they do not favor the traffic light. The Roseburg City Council this week instructed the administration to renew the request and to sub mit additional information design ed to help the highway officials see that the signal is "necessary and desirable. The citv will also indicate it is willing to pay its share of the installation cost. This local share estimated at $4,000 would be pro vided from street improvement funds which emanate from gas tax receipts. Views Expressed Points of view favoring the in stallation have been expressed by Police Chief John Tructt, Douglas Community Hospital and the Rose burg School District. City Manager Craig McMickcn reminded the council this week week that the city Planning Com mission had recommended a signal due to "factors which were not taken into account by the traffic engineers." One of these is the fact that the school district intends to route bus es into this intersection sometime during the first part of 1964. In addition, the medical staff at Doug las Community Hospital finds it important to move through this in tersection during emergencies." Re-routing of school buses is plan ned in connection with the school district's high school construction plans. It is tentatively planned to construct a road along the south side of the baseball field. This road would exit onto Bellows St. Current thought, according to school officials, is to make tins a one-way road so that all incoming BLM Names Dose Eugene Director PORTLAND (UPI) Joseph C. Dose, a member of the forestry staff at the Bureau of Land Man agement's Washington, D. C, of fice, has been appointed mana ger of the Eugene District. The appointment was announced Tuesday by BLM State Director Russell E. Getty. Dose succeeds Lester Dunn, who becomes chief of the division of range and forest management for the BLM in California. The new director was a forester in the Coos Bay district in 1952 and later headed the forestry unit in that district. Many Oregon Drivers Receive Suspensions SALEM (UPI)-The driver's li censes of 21,198 Oregonians were suspended in the first six months of 1903. the State Department of Motor Vehicles said Monday. Oregon courts reported more than 123,000 traffic violation con victions in the same period, a six per cent increase over a year ago. Mandatory provisions of the law resulted in 18,652 license suspen sions ranging from 30 days up to several years. Another 2.546 were suspended by the department un der its discretionary authority. Included in the mandatory sus pensions were 1,224 licenses of persons convicted of drunk driv ing. Failure to comply with the state's financial responsibility law was the chief reason for license suspensions during the period. Five Fires Reported In Forests Tuesday SALEM (UPI) Five small fires in Oregon forests were i quickly brought under control Tuesday, the State forestry De partment reported today. All were man-caused and the largest was confined to half an acre. Three were in the Southeast Oregon district, where one was caused by a smoker and another by a train. A careless smoker caused one Central Oregon district fire and the cause of one in the North west district has not been identi fied. Neither the U. S. Forest Serv ice nor the Bureau of Land Man- agement in Portland reported any major fires in the state this morning. Files For Bankruptcy Glen Robert Carrigan of 4166 I DcPriest St..

Cooperalive prices also were expected to climb to 32 cents. On Harvard traffic would enter from Harvard along the west side of the shop and language arts building. The buses would load at these points and from positions along the newly planned road. Over 200 cars and probably 30 to 35 buses would then be required to exit from the high school grounds onto Bellows, others would turn to the left in or der to reach the old part of Rose burg and gain access to the high way. Still others would go straight through to enter the highway and proceed south. Construction of the road, it was reported, would be made sometime before Christmas. Chief Tructt said the signal would create a break in the traffic flow giving motorists opportunity to get onto Harvard from side streets, shopping centers and serv ice stations. The state Highway Department indicated it did not favor the sig nal "in view of the low accident picture (at the intersection) and the increased delay to all traffic which will occur with signal in stallation." Resolution Asks Security Council To Free Africa UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI) African delegations today were preparing a resolution on Portu guese colonialism more moderate than Tuesday's Soviet demand in the Security Council that Portu gal get out of Africa this year. The council, in the third day of debate on Portugal's African colonics, awaited the reply of Portuguese Foreign Minister Al berto Franco Nogucira to charges of misrule raised by the 32 Afri can nations and the Soviet Union. But the African resolution, ex pected to be presented to the council today or Thursday, was much less drastic than the Soviet demand voiced Tuesday by Am bassador Nikolai T. Fcdcrcnko. He told the council that Portu gal's "colonial regime should he liquidated before the end of this year" and that economic and dip lomatic sanctions should be voted "unequivocally" against Portugal. The four African diplomats who presented the case against Por tugal on instructions of the recent African summit conference in Ad dis Ababa went no further than asking the council to set a time limit date unspecified for Portugal to free its colonies or face sanctions. Portuguese sources said Noguc ira was preparing a long rebuttal to the African indictment and planned to speak for an hour or more. Fedoienko went almost that long Tuesday in a sweeping in dictment of NATO assistance to Portugal in repression of natives in Angola, Mozambique and Por tuguese Guinea. Except for charging that the United States supplied military aid to Portugal to the extent of 5268 million dollars Fcdoren ko, perhaps reflecting the Mos cow mood of the nuclear test ban negotiations, was mild in his re marks about Washington.
