Georgia-Pacific Corp.. and the The Federal Mediation Service
two lumber unions signed an
agreement calling for an approxi

the next three years.
The agreement was termed a

Korean Defector
Trods U.S. Soil
NEW YORK (UPI) Lowell
D. Skinner, a former American
prisoner of war who chose to re
main in Communist China at the
end of the Korea War, stepped
onto U.S. soil today for 'the first
time in more than nine years.
A flight from Tokyo brought the
former Gl into New York Inter
national Airport early today. He
was greeted by neither relatives
nor friends when he stepped from
the airliner. Only a few newsmen
and an immigration official were
on hand when the turncoat de
barked.
Skinner, 32. was shaven and
neatly dressed. He said, "I def
initely have plans," but refused
to say what they were. He read
a telegram from his mother, Mrs.
Brady D. Skinner of Akron, Ohio,
and said it indicated a job was
waiting for him at home. He gave
no details.
Skinner, traveling alone, was
met at the airport by an official
of the Immigration and Naturali
zation Service. He was traveling
on a certificate of identity issued
him by U.S. officials in Hong
Kong in lieu of a passport.
Skinner confirmed he was re
maining in New York overnight,
but refused to reveal his plans,
other than to say he would go to
Akron "as soon as possible."
Two District
Boards Approve
School Merger
The Canyonvillc School Board
met in special session with the
Myrtle Creek board this week in
Canyonville and the joint boards
gave the green light to the much-
discussed topic of reorganization
which will alfect the two districts.
According to a report from Beth
Chappell, correspondent, this is the
first tangible step thus far towards
the consolidation of the two dis
tricts. Days Creek-Tiller had ear
lier in the year voted down a
three-way consolidation, and Rid
dle last year withdrew from a
four-district plan.
The way is now clear for in
stituting procedures necessary to
bring the plan to a vote of the
residents of the districts. This is
expected to take anywhere from
90 days to three or four months,
according to board members. In
itial steps according to law must
be carried out with the approval
of the State Department of Edu
cation and the county Rural School
Board.
In other action the Canyonville
board set Sept. 3 as the opening
date of school for its district,
with the provision that those stu
dents engaged in bean picking
would be excused from school for
the duration of the harvest. Some
50 students are expected to par
ticipate in the harvest, Miss Chap
pell said. Provisions will be made
for make-up work.
Bean growers Pete Ulam, Webb
Briggs and Hay den Laurance ap
peared at the meeting requesting
a delayed school opening.
The Canyonville board will meet
next in regular session on Aug. 12.
scheduled the meeting in attempt
to end the two-month old strike.
Georgia-Pacific President R. B.
Panplin said 5,000 men idled by
the G-P strike would return to
work early next week. Union
membership has yet to ratify the
agreement. A spokesman for the
Lumber and Sawmill Workers Un
ion said his union would vote be
fore Saturday night and the Re
gional Council would have the re
sults by Sunday.
Georgia-Pacific was struck in
mid-July by the two unions, about
5,000 men at 16 plants in Oregon,
Washington and California were
idled.
The contract agreed on Thurs
day provides 10 cents an hour in
crease across the board retroac
tive to June 1, 1963 ; 5 cents ef
fective December 1 of this year;
7 cents effective June 1, 1964, and
6 cents June 1, 1965 a total of
28 cents.
In addition, benefits include a
one-cent "bracket" increase to
certain skilled jobs and premium
of 6 cents for certain woods em
ployes who travel beyond desig
nated marshalling points. Both of
these are retroactive to June 1.
I Company officials said the 30'i
ceni ngure was arrivca at Dy
spreading out the premium pay.
the agreement made no men
tion of the variable work-week
formula which would eliminate
overtime pay on week-end days,
and which the unions have ob
jected to in Big Six and TOC
negotiations.
Georgia-Pacific spokesman said
about 65 per cent of its fir lum
ber and plywood production has
been affected by the strike.
Return of the approximately 5,
000 G-P employes and some 14.-
000 who started back to work this
week for Big Six companies who
ended their lockout would still
leave 10,000 to 11,000 men out of
work.
Still struck are St. Regis Paper
Co., and U.S. Plywood Co., both
members of the Big Six, and a
number of smaller firms who are
members of the Timber Operators
council.

Roseburg's American Legion
Juniors pushed across single runs
in the second, third and fourth in
nings to edge Sergeant's Construc
tion (Madison) of Portland, 3-2,
Thursday night and win an unpre
cedented third consecutive state
championship.
Ace lefty Ran Cool was credited
with the victory, coming on in re
lief of starter Rojelio Gutierrez
in the fifth inning with the champs
leading by a 3-1 score. (A starter
must pitch a full five innings to be
credited with a win.)
In gaining the victory, his 14th,
of the year, Cool avenged his lone
loss of the season which had been
handed him by Madison's Keith
Lampard. Lampard was on the
losing end of Thursday's clash.
Roseburg's Lockwood Motors
drew Billings, Mont, in the first
round of the American Legion Jun
ior Baseball Regional Tournament
which starts here next Thursday.

Zupan, sports editor of the Billings
Gazette, indicates Billings has a
veteran team, with many of its
players returning from the squad
that won the regional tournament
at Alius, Okla., last year and
claimed one win in the national
tournament before being defeated
two straight.
Billings has been in the Little
World Series four of the last five
years.
Leading the Billings club this
year are right-hander John Hilts,
11-0, and lefty Les Rohr, 11-2. Rohr
has chalked up 203 strikeouts in 96
innings, Zupan said.
The Billings team's leading hit
ler is Roger Brautigan, who is
currently averaging .373.

day that he and other members
of the IWA have been called to

Senate Leaders
Hope To Pass
Big Space Bill
WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen
ate leaders hoped to push a S5.5
billion space authorization to pas
sage today.
Action on the big authorization
for the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA)
was scheduled for the second
successive day. Senate Democra
tic Leader Mike Mansfield,
Mont., promised a Saturday ses
sion if it cannot be acted upon
today.
Scheduled for debate and
vote was an amendment growing
out of the new communications
satellite dispute. It would require
the controversial satellite corpor
ation, or any other non-government
user, to agree to reimburse
the government for a proportion
ate share of NASA research and
development which benefits their
activities.
Other congressional news:
Research Center: Senate Dem
ocratic Leader Hubert Humphrey
today gave his backing to a $50
million space research center for
Boston. Humphrey indicated,
however, that he did not think
one center was enough. The Min
nesota lawmaker said perhaps
"two or more" would help the
space effort.
Debt: Administration forces an
ticipated little trouble today in a
drive to persuade the Senate to
accept a House-passed bill to
keep the legal ceiling on the na
tional debt from falling below
the actual size of the debt. Un
less the bill is passed, the limit
on the debt will drop on Sept. 1
from $309 billion to $285 billion.
This would block federal govern
ment activities because the
Treasury Department would be
barred from selling new bonds.
TOKYO (UPI) Communist
Chinese leader Mao Tze Tung
Thursday called the American
Negroes' civil rights campaign a
"sharpening of the class sniggle"
and promised them Peking's sup
port. Mao, in a statement issued by
the New China News Agency,
charged that President Ken
nedy's civil rights program was
nothing but "two-faced tactics. ..
an attempt to lull the fighting
will of the Negro people and de
ceive the masses throughout the
country."
He denied charges made by
Moscow that China's own policies
were racist. The Soviets have ac
cused the Chinese of trying to
capture leadership of nationalist
movements in Africa, Latin Amer
ica, and Asia by turning the peo
ple there against the "white, hos
tile," Soviet citizens.
"Our unity is not one of race;
it is the unity of comrades and
friends, Mao said.
His statement on the U.S. race
question was prompted by an
American Negro, Robert Wil
liams, who is "now taking refuge
in Cuba," Mao said.
(Williams fled to Cuba from
North Carolina in 1961 after the
alleged kidnaping of a white
couple during Negro protest dem
onstrations in Union County, N.
C. He had been suspended from
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
before the incident after advocat
ing violent action to meet vio
lence from whites.)
Mao, chairman of the Chinese
Communist party, said Williams
"has twice this year asked me
for a statement in support of the
American Negroes' struggle
acainst racial discrimination.
"I wish to take this opportuni
ty on behalf of the Chinese peo
ple to express our resolute sup
port of the American Negroes in
their struggle against racial dis
crimination and for freedom and
equal rights," he said.
He said the "speedy develop
ment of the struggle of the
American Negroes" was a "man
ifestation of the sharpening of
the class struggle and national
struggle within the United
States."
"I call upon all the workers,
ueasants. revolutionary intellectu
als, enlightened elements of the
bourgeoisie, and other enlight
ened personages of all colors in
the world, white, macK, yeiiow,
brown, etc., to unite against the
racial discrimination practiced
by U.S. imperialism and to sup
port the American Negroes in
their struggle against racial dis
crimination," Mao said.

County Forest Fire
Danger Worsening
The vacation from forest fire
danger is over for the Umpqua
National Forest.
The forest enjoyed a damp
spring and moist summer, but
that's all in the past. Weather con
ditions have reached a stage where
a normal fire season is anticipat
ed for the balance of the summer,
reports Homer Oft, a fire official
for the Umpqua.
Forest recreation users were
urged to be additionally careful
with camp fires and to make "ab
solutely certain they are out."
Smokers were urged to use ash
trays when snuffing out cigarcts.
The advent of fire season condi
tions will require increased vigil
ance by logging operators who are
affected by the 30 per cent hu
midity shutdown law. (The law ap
plies to forests in the western
areas of Oregon and Washington.)
Under this regulation, logging
nrierators are reauired to halt oper
ations when the humidity drops to
the 30 per cent mark. Oft said Cin
namon Butte lookout reported a
humidity reading of 8 per cent
Thiircrlav morning.
Oft warned that the finer fuels of
the forest are drying out very fast
and will ignite easily. Blowdown
and slash areas were described as
"explosive.

President Kennedy consoled his
grief-stricken wife Jacqueline to
day over the loss of their two-day-old
son and then went to ' his
Squaw Island summer home to
visit his other two children.
' The anguished Chief Executive,
his eyes red and swollen, left the
base hospital after a 2 hour

President and Mrs. Kennedy
were alone during most of his
visit. Kennedy had flown here
earlier by helicopter from Bos
ton, where his prematurely born
son had died in a hospital at
4:04 a.m.
The reddened, tear - swollen
eyes tell the story of the grief of
a father, not of a president.
And the tight lips testify to the
strain that any husband feels
when ho sets out to do something
that no one else on earth can do
for him to tell his wife that their
infant son is dead.
The saddest day in the private
life of the President of the United
States begins at 2:10 a.m. with
the ringing of a telephone in his
room at the Children's Hospital
Medical Center in Boston.
The urgent telephone message-
informing President Kennedy that
his infant son, Patrick, has taken
a turn for the worse shatters a
virtually sleepless night for the
President.
Kennedy arrives at the hospital
to be near his ailing son at 8:30
p.m. and it wasn't until shortly
before midnight that the White
House announces the President
had retired after deciding to
spend the night at the hospital.

The telephone call sends Ken

to the decompression chamber

Strain Too Much
Salinger told newsmen the child

The pressuro chamber was a
final effort by pediatricians to

The official cause of death giv
