By BILL SPARKS News-Review Sports Writer Dick Williams, who had his siz zling fast ball and his sharp-breaking curve nipping at the corners of the plate all night long, pitched a brilliant three-hitter to lead Lock wood Motors of Roseburg to a 4-1 victory over Billings, Mont., for the Financial Aid Needed For Finals Broadcasts Plans are being made by KQEN to broadcast the games in whir-h Rcseburg will participate in the national, finals. The costs involved are so large, however, that the station cannot meet them in the usual way and has, therefore, turned to Roseburg area baseball fans for help. Donations to aid In de fraying the expenses involved are being received at all three Roseburg banks. Northwest Regional championship Tuesday night at Legion Field. Williams kept an overflow rec ord crowd of 3,501 on the edges of their seats (or on their toes for those who weren't lucky enough to find seats) as he blanked the pow erful Billings squad for eight The President, at his news con ference Tuesday, .also rejected a charge of physicist Edward Tell er that the American series of atmospheric tests in 1961-62 was curtailed for political reasons by the administration. The President said Teller's charge, aired Tuesday before the three-committee group, was not "Valid." Substantial Expenses Brown said today that while "substantial but not overriding" reasons exist for conducting at mospheric nuclear tests, any vio lator would have to incur "very substantial expenses" to have even a chance of avoiding detection. Brown concluded: "The treaty ! before the Senate will, if fully ob- with a situation where both sides are not bound by a treaty to re frain from tests in the prohibited areas." The treaty would ban all but un derground explosions. On the controversial question of whether the treaty would deter development of an effective anti missile system, as contended by Teller, Brown said U.-S. anti-mis sile development efforts "arc com parable in magnitude and success with those of the Soviets. The research expert added that "with or without U. S. nuclear tests" American missile systems would be able to penetrate any existing missile killer network "with a large margin of safety in effect saying the Russians have not developed an effective system. Cooler Weather Due The five-day weather forecast ac cording to the Weather Bureau sta tion at the Roseburg airport calls for temperatures averaging a little : below normal with highs in the up- straight innings before yielding a lone run in the top of the ninth. With Jim Beamer and Bob Man ning providing the power (plus an assist from Mike Blomberg in the base running department) Williams struck out 14 Billings batters to give Roseburg its first regional championship since 1956. The next stop is Keene, N.H., Where the Lockwoods will meet the winner of the St. Paul, Minn.- Omaha, Neb. regional playoff at 7:30 p.m. Sunday (EDT). Coach Bill Harper said the team will leave Roseburg from the high school at 1 p.m. Thursday and board a jet for the Little World Series site at 7 a.m. Friday. The regional championship TueS' day night was a fitting tribute to Harper, who made bis final borne appearance in the third base coach's box for the Legion squad. Harper, whose 1956 team finished third in the national tournament, will leave Roseburg this fall to join the staff of Oregon Mate Universi ty. Williams came back from a top flight relief job Monday night in which he preserved a win over Lewiston, Idaho, and went the full nine innings to gain the win. He was rewarded not only by the vic tory for his team, but also by be ing named the "outstanding play er" in the tournament. Center fielder Bob Manning, who hit 11 for 23 in the tournament, won the "outstanding hitter" tro phy. "Outstanding sportsman" tro phy went to Billings shortstop Dale bcilley.

Israel-Syria Flareup Gets UN Attention JERUSALEM, Israel (UPI) United Nations truce observers to day rushed an investigation into the latest flare-up between Israel and Syria in anticipation of an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting on the tense situation. Gen. Hail Yahu, Israeli foreign !-!,,. );...,. ii i ir..j. '"".',,",, m" what' Ire' termed "Syrian" -aggression." Clashes occurred Tuesday on the ground and in the air. U.N. sources in New York pre dicted the Security Council would meet Thursday or Friday to hear the Israeli complaint. (In Damascus, Syria accused Israel of violating the truce.) Situation Deteriorating The always potentially danger ous situation in the Middle East began to deteriorate suddenly Monday when Israel charged that two 19-year-old Israelis were killed by Syrian gunfire while re turning from work in the fields. Yahil said the two youths were more than a half-mile inside Is raeli territory and "not in the de militarized zone" when 10 Syrians in uniform opened fire on them. He claimed Syrians have staged 70 incidents since the first of the year. Tuesday night the governmnt announced that French-made Is rael Mystere jets damaged at least one Russian-made Syrian MIG17 during a dog fight over Israel. A spokesman said the air battle followed two clashes be tween Israelis and Syrians in the area of the Sea of Galilee. (In Syria, Damascus Radio said one Israeli jet was shot down by Syrian planes when it crossed over Syrian territory and that all Syrian aircraft returned to tbeir bases safely. It accused Israel of violating the truce by opening fire first on the ground. Call Emergency Session (The Syrian army reported it knocked out one Israeli armored car and inflicted a "number of casualties." No Syrian losses were reported. (The Syrian National Revolu tionary Council convened in an emergency session in Damascus Tuesday and instructed its U.N. delegation to call the "serious ness of the situation" to the at tention of Secretary General Thant.) Accidental Shot Fatal To Youngster A 10-year-old Oakland boy was accidently shot to death at bis home early Tuesday evening, state police reported today. They said the boy, Craig LeRoy Kopp, was rushed to Douglas Com munity Hospital, where he was pro nounced dead on arrival.

(UPI) Res cue workers began anew today the grueling task of drilling through 33r feet of rock and earth to reach three miners buried for nine days in a cave in. A 12-inch drill ground to within 138 feet of two of the miners Tuesday but the hoped-for escape channel had to be abandoned when one of the trapped men, David Fellin, 58, reported by tele phone that pressure was causing cracks in the ceiling of the tiny chamber where ho is entombed with Henry Throne, 28. ' The third miner, Louis Bova, 42, is separated from Fellin and Throne by a wall of debris. Sixteen hours were consumed in sinking the probe. Its with drawal indefinitely prolonged the desperate effort to rescue Fellin, Throne and Louis Bova, 42. Suggests Removal Fellin, communicating through a six-inch-wide hole drilled ear lier, suggested that the probe be moved. Officials withdrew their equipment and planned a new probe 18 feet west of the present hole, to start as soon as the drill could be moved. Fellin and Throne have been in good condition throughout their ordeal. They joked and conversed with their wives over the phone Tuesday. But for 39 hours since 9 a.m., EDT, Monday Bova o remainca sneni ne wasi feared dead. i Three taps i -the "traditional sign of safety in the Pennsylvania mines disclosed late Tuesday that Bova still was alive. Fellin, who had shouted to his co-worker to tap, relayed the dramatic news to the surface. Rescue workers, officials, sepc- tators and newsmen shouted, Eva Bova, 32, froze, then sank gratefully into the arms of friends. She was driven to her home in nearby Pattersonville for some rest. Not Bleeding The Bova family doctor asked Fellin to determine if Bova was bleeding. By the tap system, the trapped miner indicated he was not, and that he was not covered by rock. Nevertheless, there was concern about his condition. A cave-in last Tuesday caught the three men deep in the mine shaft. As debris tumbled down the shaft of the mine, Fellin and Throne dove in one direction, Bova in another: the plummeting rock separated them by about 18 feet. ,m m i ... RESCUE WORKER presses his ear to the six-inch pipe through which communication ond supplies ere main tained with trapped miners in Pennsylvania coal mine, some 300 feet below the surface. Two of the trapped miners communicated with the third in onofher part of the shaft, by topping on the wall and told rescuers the third man was injured, but not covered with rock. (UPI Telephotn) An Editorial It's Been A Glorious Week What a proud, glorious week it has been for Roseburg sports fans. -Saturday night, the State all-stars spearheaded by two of Roseburg's greatest football players, won the 'Shrine All-Star game for the first time since 1956. But overshadowing even this show was the great per formance of the American Legion Junior baseball team. It won the Pacific Northwest Regional championship for the second, time in an exceptionally successful his tory. The last such championship was in 1956. The week will go down in the annals of Douglas Coun ty sports as one of the great ones, but there's still more coming in both football and baseball. Fans will be watching quarterback Paul Brothers and lineman Doug John, a couple of high school all-Ameri-cans who seem destined to reach high college pinnacles, for another four years as they play for Oregon State University. More immediately, Roseburg's tremendous Legion Junior team will make its bid for the biggest sports title ever bestowed on a Roseburg athletic 6rganization. It will try to better the record of the 1956 team which earned the ranking of third team in the nation at the national playoffs. Whatever it achieves at Keene, N. H., next week, it has earned much more this year, and particularly dur ing the last week. They have earned the respect of op ponents and fans alike. They displayed the greatest at tributes a fine sports group can display sportsman ship, modesty and fair play of the highest order. The Roseburg Legion was cited as one of the two fa vorites in the regional tournament, but it was soon evi dent the team members recognized their role as hosts. They played hard and they played to win. But a lot of little things reflected their efforts to conduct them selves on the highest level of sportsmanship. Many people will remember, for example, Jim Beamer's ac tion in offering the rosin bag to an opposing batsman. Officials and coaches attending the tournament were unanimous in their praise of the team, as well as the community. With the conduct of both fans and team, Roseburg can expect to be selected again for this out standing baseball tourney. Meanwhile, Rosebuvg and the rest oODqubIus Qpunty T "cuii swell with pride for' the 'kind of "young man it is" sending baclc to New Hampshire to represent them at the national championship playoff. The county and city also owe the team its continued support in the week ahead. But the season attendance figures of more than 50,000 paid leaves little doubt that support and good wishes of a lot of fans will go with the new champions. Joint City-County Zoning Study Under Consideration The Roseburg Planning Commis sion will recommend to the' City Council that it enter into a plan ning program in cooperation with the county for a complete study and revision of the zoning ordin ance. . The decision was made at a meeting of the commission this week. - 7y i ft j sr. ''1: Also under consideration is. the possibiity of temporarily splitting the present commercial zone into two commercial classifications. one of which would affect com mercial development in residential type areas. Essentially, this zone would per mit only those commercial enter prises which are compatible with residential areas and would in volve, according to the proposal. restrictions as to the manner in which these commercial enterpris es could develop. Zoning would place controls on these develop ments in regard to such things as noise barriers and landscaping. The commission, which consider ed the proposal at its meeting this week, plans to review zoning set ups of other cities prior to the commission's next meeting with an eye to making a possible change at that time. In other matters this week, the commission reviewed a proposed surplusing of three unused parcels of city-owned property referred from the City Council. The com mission recommended the proper tics be surplused, finding no need to retain the property from a planning standpoint. Robert Stultz, representing Wal ter Ulrich, presented a nronosed property development for Ulrich propertylying in the Nw Kline and Lynwood area and north of NW Calkins. The commission made suggestions but no action was tak en. Gardiner Pipeline Dredging To Start Undersea dredgin? operations for installation of Inteirational Paper Co.'s pulp and paper plant efflu ent pipeline at Gardiner will begin late tl.is week or early next week, general manager Tom l'ayne said. The Salvage Chief, a specially constructed 204-foot tug boat, own ed and operated by Portland sal vage diver Fred Devine, will drop anchor in the surf off the Umpqua north beach. With two anchors ashore, it will begin the back and forth operations which will jet out a trench 3.000 feet Into the ocean. A specially-constructed propellor will do the jetting for laying the 44-inch pipe, which consists of four inches of concrete. Crisis Hits Diem'frRule SAIGON. South Viet Nam (UPI) President Ngo Dinh Diem de clared martial law inrougnouc South Viet Nam today and sent his heavily-armed troops storming through pagoda headquarters of Buddhist opposition. - At least 100 Buddhist monks were arrested in raids carried out under a state of siege decreed by Diem amid reports that a coup d'etat was Imminent. In a massive crackdown on anti-government elements,, the president appointed a new mili tary governor of Saigon and .: a new chief of staff. He also im posed press censorship. The long-smouldering religious political crisis in this Southeast Asian country exploded suddenly early today when thousands of soldiers and policemen swept into the main Xa Loi pagoda and rounded up more than 100 monks! The government forces fired pistol shots and used tear gas bombs and hand grenades as they swarmed into the center of Bud dhist opposition to Diem's author itarian regime. Raid Other Pagodas Soldiers also raided at least three other pagodas in the mos( serious flare-up of violence in the la-week dispute between the gov ernment and the Buddhist major ity over alleged religious discrim ination. Thousands more troops were deployed at vital points in and around Saigon at the airfield, the national xadlu building, the presi dential palace, telephone and power stations and road intersec tions. ' It could not be determined im mediately whether there were any casualties in the raids. The sudden crackdown on anti government elements took placo just a day before the new U. S. ambassador to Saigon, Henry Ca bot Lodge, was due here to re place Frederick Nolting. Lodge arrived in Tokyo today en route to Saigon, but refused to com ment on the Vietnamese situation. A presidential decree broadcast by the national radio declared "a state of siege throughout the ter ritory Of Viet Nam, beginning from the day of the publication of the decree and continuing until further notice." Warned Of Coup The decree was broadcast just a day after Diem's brother and chief adviser, Ngo Dinh Nliu, was reported to have warned the country's military chiefs that a coup, was brewing and ordering them to be on guard. The Buddhists, who comprise about 70 per cent of the popula tion, charge they are being per secuted by Diem and his top aides, who are Roman Catholic. The government counter-charge that the Buddhist protests, which have included at least five sui cides by priests, are politically inspired. The national radio said that under the presidential decree the armed forces are entrusted with the responsibility of preserving public order and security. It said the military was empowered for. the duration of the state of siege to: Search houses and arrest all persons whose activities are con sidered harmful to public secur ity. Forbid public gatherings like ly to endanger public order and security. Restrict press freedom and control radio broadcasts, films and theatrical plays. Prohibit the holding and cir culation of all printed materials harmful to public order and se curity. U.S. Plywood Crews Return R. J. Moore, manager of the U. S. Plywood Corp. plant in Rose burg, said the majority of the plant's full crew was back on the job Wednesday. The plant reopened earlier in the week after being closed down about two and a half months when the IWA went out on strike against all U. S. Plywood planta in the North west as part of a move against the Big 8. Agreement between the unions and the Big 6 was reached last week and ratified bys the union members Sunday. i
