Freeman Urges Rejection Of Canadian Lumber Curb WASHINGTON (UPI) Agri culture Secretary Orville Freeman has urged Congress to reject a bill that would chop Canada's sales of softwood lumber to the United States by more than 25 per cent, a Washington congressman disclosed Thursday, Freeman, in a letter to the House committee considering the bill said the proposed quotas could have "serious impact" on U.S.-Canadian relations. Rep. Jack Westland, H-Wash.. said in a House speech that the Freeman letter was another ex ample of "sympathy, but no ac tion" on the part of the Kennedy administration. The bill involved is a catch-all measure that would set quotas not only for lumber and other forestry products but. also for dairy products and "any other agricultural commodity or pro duct" If a U.S. government farm High Court Upholds Robbery Conviction Conviction of 'Bill Ernest Hunt er, 27, Sutherlin; on a charge of armed robbery has been affirmed by the Oregon Supreme Court, in a decision announced Wednesday. Hunter, along with William Mat thew Gray (Simmons) also of Suth erlin, was convicted on separate trial In Douglas County Circuit Court of the alleged armed rob bery of the Hillcrest Flying A Serv ice Station, located on Interstate Highway 5, south of the Douglas County Fairgrounds May 24, 1962. Both were sentenced to serve 15 years in the Oregon State Peniten tiary. Hunter had appealed his con viction. According to trial testimony, Gray allegedly entered the station with i stocking hood over his head, ordered the attendant to lie down, tied him with wire, then left with contents of the cash register. Hunt er supposedly remained in the car outside. The two men were observed to gether a short time afterwards by a State Policeman near Dillard and later taken into custody. The mon ey taken from the station was found hidden 300 feet north of Rapp'i Garage in Dillard. by some boys playing in the area. Hunter's conviction was strictly on circumstantial evidence, as. he was not seen by the station attend ant. Former Dep. Dist. Atty. Vcr den Hockett tried the case and also argued the case before the Su preme Court. Harrison Winston and Donald Dole argued Hunter's case before the high court. This is said to be the first case affirmed by the Supreme Court where evi dence was strictly circumstantial. Gray was tried in the summer of 1962, and Hunter went to trial la tcr in the fall.

The quota limit would be the average of 1955-60 imports. Bill On of Series The bill was one of a series of measures which would slash Ca nada's softwood lumber exports to the United States, estimated last year at $280 million and still growing. The toughest proposal in the package would impose a quota of 6 per cent of U.S. con sumption, reducing Canada's slice of the market by nearly two-thirds. Freeman, in his Aug. 27 letter to Rep. Wilbur D. Mills, chair man of t h e House Ways and Means Committee, said "T h e (agriculture) department docs not recommend passage of this legis lation." "The imposition of such quotas would have particularly serious impact on United States-Canadian trade and political relations, and would undoubtedly be strongly contested by Canada and other members of the general agree ment on tariffs and trade," Free man said. Cut 78 Per Cent He said the bill would cut U.S. softwood lumber imports from Canada to about 78 per cent of the 1962' level. It would cut ply wood imports to about 62 per cent of last year's level, he said. Westland called on the House to take early action to extend the life of a temporary measure passed last year which allowed U.S. lumber to be shipped to Puerto Rico in foreign vessels. He also said lumber shipped from the West Coast to the U.S. East Coast market also should be allowed to go via foreign ships. At present, such coastal ship ments have to be carried by U.S. vessels, which charge higher Opening Postponed For Riddle Schools Opening date of school for Rid dle has been postponed until Mon day, Sept. 16.

Lennart Turnquist, 44, of Read ing, who was found battered and barely conscious Thursday on railroad tracks in suburban Wake field, was in satisfactory condi tion at Massachusetts General Hospital. His name was not on the danger list. Officials said the arm, com pletely severed near the shoulder was rejoined, circulation was re stored and the three major nerves were reconnected during a 10-hour and '40-minute operation by a 13-member surgical team. They said it could not be- de termined immediately . whether the operation was a success. Hop To Repeat Surgeons hoped to repeat their success of last year when they performed a similar operation. In May, 1962, during an operation that now is a part of medical history, Massachusetts General Hospital surgeons rejoined the right arm of 12-year-old Everett Knowles of Somerville after the arm was severed when the boy fell from a train. The Knowles boy is slowly re-: gaining use of his arm with daily exercise and continued treatment. However, several other at tempts to rejoin severed limbs at Massachusetts General have not been successful. Wakefield police dragged Turn quist from the path of an ap proaching 'train Thursday after the crew of another train going in the opposite direction reported what looked like a dead man on the tracks. Sgt. John Mahoncy and Patrol man Arthur Bragg found Turn quist lying on the Boston & Maine Railroad tracks near Route 128 in Wakefield shortly after they received the report. Mahoney said Turnquist was lying on his back across the southbound tracks. His severed right arm was a short distance Willis Lee Benton Funeral services for Willis Lee Benton, 52, of 201 S.

Benton was killed early Wednes day when his motor scooter collid ed with an automobile a mile north of Wilbur on Highway 99. He was on his way home from work at the Veterans Administra tion Hospital when the accident oc curred. Benton was born Dec. 4, 1910, in Rollingstark, Miss. He had liv ed in Sutherlin for the past six years. He served in the army in World War II and was taken pris oner by the Japanese. He spent three years in a prison camp in the Philippines and one year in a prison camp in Japan. He was a survivor of the Bataan Death March. He was a member of the Suth erlin Seventh-day Adventist Church He was married to his wife, Jane, in Sutherlin on July 7, 1957. Survivors include his wife; two sons, David L.

Fri,, Sept. 6, 1963 away on the outside of the tracks. Turnquist also suffered a deep cut on his head. One of his shoes was hurled several feet down the track. Bragg and Mahoney placed Turnquist on a stretcher and car ried him off the tracks just as a Boston-bound train came into view. Mahoney also placed the severed arm in a piece of news paper. A waiting ambulance took both Turnquist and the arm to the Melrose Wakefield Hospital. There, Dr. Harry Schwartz of Wakefield removed the torn sleeve from the detached arm and packed the limb in a bucket of ice. Turnquist then was transferred to the Boston hospital. Physicians said Turnquist had lost little blood and his pulse was strong. They also said the ampu tation was "rather clean." Police said they had not deter mined how Turnquist was injured. Tenmile Fire Crew Gets Car Fire Call The recently-organized Tenmile Volunteer Fire Department had another workout around 8 p.m. Thursday when called to the home of Mrs. Linda Sparlin on the old Tenmile Valley Road to put out a ear fire, correspondent M r s. Walter Coats reports. The fire started when the two teenage sons of Mrs. Sparlin were working on a car in the Sparlin garage. The gas line of the car reportedly pulled apart, spilling gasoline which was ignited. What set off the blaze was not immedi ately determined. The resulting flames reportedly shot as high as the roof of the garage. However. the boys had the fire under con trol by the time the fire depart ment crew arrived, reportedly in a matter of minutes. Damage was minor. According to Mrs. Coats, the prompt action of the volunteer Ten- mile crew is a source of consider able comfort to area residents as all fire calls turned in thus far have received speedy and area wide response. Volunteers respond from the Olalla, Tenmile, Reston Road and Porter Creek areas, Mrs. Coats said. Ada F. Moore Ada Fitzpatrick Moore, 78, life long resident of Myrtle Creek, died early today at a Canyonville hos pital following a prolonged illness.

School Coach Optimistic On Team Prospects Roseburg High School football coach Roy Thompson is very op timistic over prospects for his team this year, and said the players will be going into competition with state championship hopes in mind. Thompson spoke before the Hose burg Lions Club Thursday night and gave a rundown on players and the outlook for the season. He was accompanied by Al Hoffman, athle tic director. The coach stated that players like Paul Brothers and Doug John from last year's team who turned in outstanding performances in the Shrine All-Star game, are irre placeable. However, he emphasized that the players out for football here rep resent one of the best groups lie had ever coached. Defensively, the line will be plenty tough. Offen sively there still are some weak points, but the team is shaping up well, he stated. Hoffman reviewed the athletic program briefly for the coming year, and commented that during the past five years Roscburg High School athletes had been awarded 596,000 worth of scholarships. This figure is about equal to the cost of the athletic program itself. A. G. (Mike) McLain, chairman of the committee, announced plans for the Roscburg Lions 35th anni versary observance were shaping up very well. It is scheduled at the Elks Temple Sept. 20. Curtiss D.

The shows that have kept pa trons panting and laughing night ly came to a grinding halt at the President Follies after 22 years, and ended with a bump. The President's owner, : Cathy Carver, sold the historic bur lesque house to a Franciscan or der for $218,000 after running it for three years since the death of her husband, the late Eddie Sko lak. Now, she says, she will go back to her first love, singing western music. "Burlesque is a dying business and I'm glad to be getting out," Miss Carver said. Hundreds of others, however, were dying to get in. But their desire was thwarted by police. As' a standing-room-only crowd of 1,100 spectators shouted their delight at the bumps and grinds, hundreds of other patrons jammed the street outside the theater hoping for admission. But when the last show began, the doors were locked. The crowd began pounding the doors and six police cruisers were needed before the crowd was dis persed. There is little burlesque left in the United States. Most of the houses have become strip joints or have just quietly folded. Nevertheless, the President has been drawing about 4,000 custom ers a week from those who ap preciate G-strings, bare bosoms and comics with baggy pants. Thursday night's performance, starring Laurie Eden as "Miss Hollywood" and Higgy King as ; comic, reminded old-timers of the i first show put on in the President in 1941. Certainly the ingredients were the same girls, girls, girls and humor that is mostly broad. The girls were certainly not the same ones that helped open the theater but some of the jokes may have been. WILLIAM D. H0LST, M.D. announces the association cf Gerald G.

Most of the performers said Thursday night as they packed their G-strings, tassels and pan ties that they did not know what their immediate plans were. Brunette Cindy Lu said she would quit the business. But Edie Rich, a 13-year vet eran of burlesque, will continue. A short rest, she said, and then back to the old grind.
