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."

City Council
On Work Plans
cilities, was turned over to City
Engineer Don Martin and City
Supt. Darrell Bowman for addi

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.

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

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.

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.
