Laughing Finns Break Lines Of Police To Get Look At Visiting Vice President HELSINKI, Finland (UPI) A shouting, laughing throng of Finns broke through police lines today to get a glimpse of Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson as he opened the annual "America Days" celebration here in Fin land's first ticker-tape parade. About 10,000 persons lined Alex ander Street to see the vice presi dent, his wife Lady Bird and daughter, Lynda Bird, drive through downtown Helsinki.' Then, as he began his speech at a street intersection, an esti mated 500 or so broke through police lines and almost engulfed the Johnson party. ' The mob scene climaxed a busy morning in which Johnson sang "Happy Birthday to You" to an aging fishmonger in the Helsinki market, met oldtime track star Paavo Nurmi and talked for an hour with President Urho Kekkonen. ' At the "America Days" cele bration, Johnson cut a ribbon to open the -fair, then set out in one of his patented hand - shaking, autograph-signing tours. Reporters, including old-timers here, had never seen anything like the welcome that the Finns gave Johnson today. It was a friendly mob, and Johnson re sponded to it, shaking hundreds of hands, smiling at children, and handing out autographed ' cards. It was with some difficulty that the police got him into his hotel at noon. "I've traveled in more than !i0 countries," Jphrisdn told report ers once he got back into his DALO Members Set Appearance At City Council Meeting Monday Gerald Hayes, vice president of DALO (Douglas Aircraft Leasing Organization), indicated Friday a delegation of members of that or ganization will be on hand for Monday night's Roseburg City Council meeting to voice their side of the story on a recommended denial of commercial status for DALO. The recommendation was made by the city Airport Commission Thursday on the grounds there is not enough business to support two commercial operations at the air port. Hayes also said he personally questions the city's right to au thorize an exclusive franchise. He said there are federal funds in volved in the airport, and that it's his understanding federal reg ulations will not allow exclusive franchises on an airport in which federal funds are involved. Good Mad Protest The issue was brought into fo cus when R. C. (Bud) Good, own er and operator of Roseburg Sky ways, Inc., protested that DALO was in competition with him in the leasing of aircraft to student pilots. Good is the only licensed commercial operator at the air port at this time. City Attorney Paul Gcddcs then studied Good's protest and re turned an opinion that DALO was, in fact, operating on a commer cial basis. In order to continue under this basis, DALO was or dered lo apply for commercial status. They made this application, which in turn resulted in the rec ommendation for denial by the Airport Commission. Final action on the application is up to the City Council. Organization Explained "In form, wo are commercial, but in practice we arc a non-commercial organization," Hayes said. He added that the group formed as a leasing organization to avoid the heavy taxation applied against a flying club. "We got along just fine with Good until about four months ago, when he hegan protesting that we were 'stealing' his student pilots," Hayes said. "To my knowledge, we have never stolen one of his stu dents and, In fact, all of our students are given their flight in structions by Roseburg Skyways.' "We also feel," ho said, "there are many people now flying be cause they arc able to do so under the reduced rates at which they can rent a -plane on an hourly Police Have Lawnmower ' Which Fell From Pickup A lawnmower which rolled from the back of a pickup truck and into the, street on W. Harvard Boulevard Friday evening has been turned over to Roseburg City Po lice. Police said that Tommy Thorn as, 324 W.

Earlier Johnson, sporting a red carnation in his lapel End having "a wonderful time," talked to Kekkonen for an hour. ' Before the meeting Johnson, on a five-nation tour of northern Eu rope, joined in singing "Happy Birthday", to a beaming fish monger in a Helsinki market place. The vice president and his fam ily arrived from Sweden Friday. He will visit Denmark Tuesday. This morning Johnson made the rounds of the streets of the Finnish capital as though he was running for mayor. He met Mrs. Aleksandra Jyrkinen, who has been selling fish for 45 years, and joined in singing greetings to her on the occasion of her 70th birth day. Both the vice president and the fishmonger appeared to be enjoy ing themselves immensely. John son also gave the old lady his card and a souvenir pen with his name on it. The subject of Johnson s talks with Kekkonen was unknown. Before he visited the presi dent's office; Johnson boarded the U.S. destroyer Barton, an chored in Helsinki harbor, and met Paavo Nurmi, the former Olympic track star who is one of Finland's most famous citi zens. Nurmi sent his greetings to basis by being a member of the club who would not otherwise be flying. We feel that this has in creased not only the number of fliers, but the amount of interest in flying throughout the communi ty." Issue Involves Students The bulk .of the disagreement comes from the use of DALO planes by student fliers, both those flying with an instructor and those flying solo. Good has told the Air port Commission he feels that as the lone licensed commercial op erator at the airport, his planes should be the only ones used for student llying. Hayes said the DALO group feels that "no one should he denied the right to be a member of the or ganization simply because they do not yet have a license." "We feel that student pilots arc necessary for the continuation of the organization, he said. Good has also said there are fliers who are not actual stock holders in the club, but who have purchased lease rights, who are flying DALO airplanes, thereby enabling DALO to provide unfair competition by giving these fliers a lower per hour rate than he can offer on a sound business basis to pay for his investment in Rose burg Skyways. Cab Firms Seeking Increase In Rates A public hearing on a request by two Roseburg laxicab com panies for rate increases is includ ed on the agenda for the Roseburg City Council Monday night. Roseburg Cab Co. and Ellis Cab Co. hvc applied for a change in taxicab rales. Fares and rates of taxienbs arc regulated by city ordinance. City Manager Craig McMicken said the firm has requested an approximate 9 per cent increase In cab fares. ' Three other public hearings arc scheduled. They arc in connection with the city's (1) Intent to im prove NE Fremont Avenue be tween NE Jackson and NE Nash streets; (2) Intent to construct san itary sewers in the Garden Homes area, and (3) Intent to construct sanitary sewers in the lower Ham ilton Street area. The council will also consider a recommendation from the city Air port Commission in regard to a Dalo, Inc. request to conduct com mercial operations at Roseburg Municipal Airport. The commis sion is recommending the applica tion be dorficd. GOLDEN AGERS TO MEET The Golden Age Club will re sume its evening social meetings Monday at the Veterans Memor ial Building on Garden Valley I Blvd The meeting is set for 7:30 p.m. Those attending should bring sack lunches. and Kekkonen to discuss because of the good relations between the two countries. When Johnson showed :p for their meeting wearing a carna tion in his jacket Kekkonen asked him, "where did you get that?" "A lady in the market place gave it to me," Johnson replied. "I have met a lot of people and shaken a lot of hands. I am hav ing a wonderful time." Finland seemed to be enjoying the visit too. Among the honors planned for Johnson's visit was the first ticker tape parade in the country's history. County Mental Health Group Receives Fund Two years ago a young man was killed in a traffic accident near Glide. At the request of the victim's family and others, a fund was started to promote mental health in rouglas County. The fund ac quired $55 and this money was held by Julian Hclleck, Douglas County juvenile director, pending formation of a mental health or ganization. On Aug. 8 the Mental Health Association of Douglas County be came' an official chapter of the Mental Health Association of Ore gon. With the organization formed, Hclleck turned the money over to association officers with the com ment: Check Presented "It is a pleasure to present this check ... to the (association) knowing that the association is working for ' a healthier and hap pier community." The mental health organization is a nation-wide, non-profit move ment of citizens who are interest ed in promoting mental health. One of its goals is to sec that people with troubles can find pro fessional help in their home com munity. Mental health problems arc evi denced in many ways in commun- . uy uie. association oinccrs pom , bor ,.,,,. bef midnight Kri. out. fror example, it is known that, ..,( emotional upsets can cause acci-1 dents. This is explained by Rose - burg Police Chief John Truett: "It is a known fact that 98 per cent of all accidents are caused by human behavior. A temper flare-up can very easily cause an accident or cause a driver to re ceive , a citation. A person who uses the vehicle as a toy to show off his driving ability or the horse power of his vehicle causes many of the accidents which occur on the highway." Community Project Association officers point out that the promotion of mental health is a community project. Persons in terested in taking part in the men tal health movement are invited to write lo the Mental Health As sociation of Douglas County, P. O. Box 1111, Roseburg, giving name, address and occupation.

Windows were blown from the Continental Grain Co. offices a block away by the blast, which Chicago police said apparently was a dynamite explosion. The Federal Bureau of Investigation was expected to enter the case. The freighter, owned by the Upper Lakes Shipping Co., Que bec, has been tied up here since last April because members of the International Longshoremen's Association (1LA) have refused to load it.

Rush, 31, a former American Army sergeant who spent a dozen years in Communist China following the Korean War, re turned to the West today and said he had made a mistake. Rush, formerly of Marietta, Ohio, ' showed up at the Hong Kong border shortly after noon accompanied by his Chinese wife, Helen, and their 14-month old daughter, Betty Jean. Rush, who was 18 when he re fused repatriation as a prisoner of war, said he , had made a "foolish decision," but now was "anxious as hell" to get back home to the United States. The turncoat told a news con ference at a Hong Kong hotel that he had become disillusioned with communism. He also said there was growing hatred for Russia within Red China. Asked why he chose to stay behind the Tax Collections Gain In Oreaon SALEM (UPI) -State tax col lections for the first two months of the current biennium totaled $21.5 million, the Legislative In terim Committee on Taxation was told today. Tax Commission economist George Pederson said the July August receipts were up 4.55 per cent over the same period last year, but were in line with esti mates given the 1963 Legislature. Pederson said that during fiscal 1962-63 seven Oregonians reported incomes of over $1 million. He said there were no million dollar personal returns in the previous year. Finance Director Freeman Holmcr told the committee that if the people turn down the legis lature's tax increase measure, the state will be about $58 million short of meeting its bills under the budget. A special referendum election will be held Oct. 15. He said if the tax measure is defeated, all budgets, including money given to local school dis tricts for property tax relief, would have to be cut from 11 to 14 per cent to keep the budget balanced. Hnlmnr calrl fho ctato nnrlnrl tha ; 1061"63 biennium with a $6 million SUrPIUS i- He stressed that there isn't anv parently believe. He said the tax bill passed by the 1963 Legislature would raise an additional $63.5 million, and that figure anticipates a growth in the state's economy. In discussing budget controls, Holmer said there is a $7 to $8 million cost for servicing state bonds which can't be reduced and that his department hasn't any control over expenditures of the state's courts and departments which are set up under the state constitution. He also said that defeat of the tax measure would cut the state's interest earnings on funds that are collected but not used until the bills come due. Pederson said that the effect of the recent lumber strike on state tax collections will apparently be "nominal." He said there could be a long range effect because of possible plant modernization to eliminate some jobs and close some of the less profitable mills. Sutherlin Man Enters Innocent Plea In Court Bruce Elliot May, 35, Sutherlin, gave oral notice of appeal in Douglas County District Court Friday after the court found him guilty of driving under the in fluence of intoxicating liquor. Judge Gerald R. Hayes fined May $150 and sentenced him to 60 days in the county jail. May appeared before the court for trial without jury Friday after pleading innocent to the charge on July 30. He is charged in a Roseburg state police complaint issued July Z9. The defendant gave oral notice i of appeal and the judge allowed , posting of appeal bond. 1 Walter Linstead, 27.

Asked if he had a message for her he said: "Just telp her that all three of us (his wife and child) will get home soon., Take good' care of yourself. A soon as we complete procedures, we'll get home. I'm anxious as hell." Rush had been expected here for several days. Rush Is the third American Army turncoat to leave China in re cent weeks. Lowell D. Skinner of Akron, Ohio, and Albert C. Bel homme, a Belgian, both arrived in Hong Kong last month.- Belhomme, who brought along a Chinese wife and three sons, is still in Hong Kong awaiting a ruling from Washington on wheth er he will be given Army back pay. He has said he needs the money to' return to Belgium. The return of Rush leaves five of 21 Army defectors still in Communist China, as far as is known. Skinner, who returned to the United States, and Belhomme have said that two others of the original 21 left China to live in Poland and Czechoslovakia.
