Canyonville Home Destroyed By Fire A fire early this morning de stroyed the Dale Cisco home in the Anderson Addition in Canyon ville. None of the contents of the one-story modern frame building was saved, according to Mrs. R. C Proctor, correspondent. Mickey Moore, chief of the Can yonville Fire Dept., said the alarm was turned in about 1:45 a.m., ob viously too late for control. By the time the equipment had reached the conflagration, the fire was far advanced. Firemen and equipment could only stand by to protect adjacent buildings as the house burned to the ground. Mrs. Proctor stated that no one was home at the time. Dale Cisco was with his father in Myrtle Creek, while Mrs. Cisco and three children were vacationing in Washington.

' Yoncalla Council To Meet With Pipeline Firm Officials The Yoncalla City Council will meet with oficials of El Paso Na tural Gas Co. and the R. H. Fulton Co. tonight to discuss methods for an immediate solution to the water pollution problem the city lias charged was brought about by con struction work on the El Paso gas pipeline. The meeting will also be held to discuss long-range planning for the Wilson Creek watershed and the expenses involved to both par ties. In the meantime, the City of Yoncalla has filed an amendment to its temporary restraining order vhich will allow El Paso and the Fulton Firm to continue work in all but a restricted area of the watershed. This amendment was filed after the two firms appear ed before the City Council earlier in the week and asked for a re vision which would allow them to continue work. The original temporary restrain ing order was signed by Douglas County Circuit Court Judge Charles Woodrich Monday. Judge Wood- ) were picked up by the Hazel- wood s other launch. Coast Guard helicopters contin ued to search for the missing man in the fog and intermittent rain. Chief Machinists Male Ralph L. Nelson, a veteran of 24 years in the Navy of Middletown, R.I., said the 26-foot launch "just turned over. We hung onto the boat . . he said. "We stayed in the water about two hours, drifting to shore. Most of the men held out pretty good. There was absolute' ly no panic. ' Hoy Witz, 22, Hicmield, Minn., one of the men who clung to the launch, said Coxswain John Get- shell of Portland, Ore., the pilot of the boat, swam to the Hazel wood for help. He had a lot of guts, espe- cially for a guy who just got married. Wirtz said. A helicopter spotted the men on the Port Jefferson Beach and picked up five at a time, making three trips. The pilot, Coast Guard Lt. John Wypick from Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn deposited the men at nearby Old field Point. Thev were taken to a firehousc at Setauket in ambulances and police vehicles.1 One sailor, was taken to Mather Memorial Hospi tal in Port Jefferson suffering from exposure. His condition was listed as good. The men boarded the launcn at 2:20 a.m. EDT after spending about eight hours ashore. The launch was equipped with "flota tion chambers" to prevent n from sinkine. When it capsized, it turned keel up, enabling most oi the men to cling to it. The launch was between 200 and 300 yards from the destroyer when it started "shipping -water," the Coast Guard said. The water was rough and the men were hampered by rain and fog when the tiny craft suddenly capsizea. The wind was 18 to 20 miles per nour, tossing up Ulree-iuui. waves. "I was washed off once," Nel son said, "but got back to the boat. Everybody was in gooo snirita " Nelson said the tidal current brought the launch to snore.

(UPI Telephoto) Johnson Nears End Of European Jaunt COPENHAGEN, D e n m a r k (UPI) Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, ncaring the end of a 15,000-mile tour of Northern Eu rope, today cancelled his last stop a brief visit to Greenland. A formal announcement issued shortly after his arrival from Norway for a three-day official. visit to uenmarK maae no men tion of reports that he was tired out by his strenuous Nordic tour and was curtailing his activities. Instead, the announcement said merely that "the press of bust ness in the United States made it impssible " to go on lo Green land. Johnson had been scheduled to go from here to Iceland and Greenland Monday before flying home. Instead, he now will go straight to Washington from Ice land. There also was some confusion here over whether Johnson would cancel previously scheduled ap pointments in Denmark. The U.S. Embassy said the vice president had dropped an inspection of Danish navy ships and a wreath-laying ceremony at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Me morial statue from his schedule. Both had been set for Saturday. But the government insisted both events still were on as sched uled. Johnson, his wife Lady Bird, and their daughter Lynda Bird, came by plane from Oslo this morning for a three-day visit to Denmark. They received their Roseburg Resident Being Considered For U. S. Marshal Carl J. Smith, former Douglas County undersheriff has been named one of three candidates for the position of U.S. marshal for Oregon. The announcement was made to day by Dr. Jason Boe of Reeds port, chairman of the county Dem ocratic Central Committee. The field of candidates was narrowed to three by the executive board of the slate Central Committee. The nominations have now been sent to the Oregon congressional delegation which will make the fi nal selection. The other two men are from Lane and Wasco counties. The Lane County candidate is state Rep. Eugene Hulett, a former state police sergeant. Boe says Hulett and Smith are considered the front-runners in the race. , The job of marshal for the state involves carrying out federal dusi ness in the state. He acts as fed eral paymaster, transports federal prisoners and serves ledcrai war rants. Smith was originally nominated in 1960, but because retirement was so near for the present mar shal, it was decided to wait until the retirement time had been reached. However, UPI reported today. Marshal Paul Kearney has just died. Boe said he expects the decision by the congressional dele gation to be forthcoming soon. Smith, 37, was undersheriff for three years. He was a deputy in the office eight years. Before that, he served on the Roseburg force.

Negroes May Test SW Oregon Cities MEDFORD fUPI) The Port. land chapter of the National As sociation for Advancement of Col ored People next month will re quest assurances from Medford, Ashland and Grants Pass city councils that Negroes would be welcome in those areas. Announcement of the impending action was confirmed in Portland today by Mayficld K. Webb. Presi dent of the Portland branch. Webb said councils of the three cities will be urged to adopt state ments that Negroes would be wel come to use such facilities as motels and restaurants, or to be come permanent residents of the communities. The president said that if any of the councils declines to pass such a resolution, the NAACP chapter might send somo people to "test" motels and restaurants Brazilian Military Demands Stiff Punishment For Rebs BRASILIA (UPI)-Military au thorities today demanded "vigor ous punishment" of the 600 en listed Marines, soldiers and air men who took part , in Thurs day's abortive revolt. Air Minister Amsio Botelho promised a thorough investigation of the part his men played in the short-lived uprising. He said the air force was "completely calm" today. There was no report of dis orders in Brasilia or Rio de Ja neiro, and a presidential spokes man said "absolute calm reigns throughout the nation." War Minister Jair Dantas Ri- beiro, whose troops crushed the revolt, ended the army-wide alert he ordered Thursday, but left five tanks in position outside the War Ministry in Rio as a "security measure. Maj. Gen. Nicolau Fico, the military commander in Brasilia, issued a statement saying many minors were caught carrying arms during the unsuccessful re bellion," and it appeared some of them might have taken part in the revolt. President Joao Goulart con Cuban Visit Probe Draws Hecklers WASHINGTON (UPI)-Six stu. dent demonstrators were ejected from a House committee hearing today in a renewed flare-up of violence over an investigation in to illegal student travel to Com munist Cuba. Two of the six, kicking and struggling, were bodily hustled from the room. The other four went without much of a struggle as Chairman Edwin E. Willis, n. La., of the Committee on Un American Activities stood and shouted to police: "Throw them out!" Three of the students ejected were teen-agers. They identified themselves as Tad Lauer, 16, Bloomington, Ind., a special stu dent at Indiana University; Mark Brody, 17, New York, a City Col lege student, and Clifford Metz ler, 21, Long Island City, N.Y., a Hunter College student. All Three Carried Out All three were bodily carried out of the building and deposited on the sidewalk. They said they had applauded a statement of the witness, Phil lip A. Luce, 26, of New York City, one of more than 50 stu dents who defied a State Depart ment ban and visited Cuba dur ing the summer. The new outbreak, which fol lowed a pattern set at Thurs day's opening session, came as Willis objected to applause when Luce said he considered it his 'duty" to break the travel ban. "There are certain rules and regulations that must be broken," luce declared. He said Emerson and Thoreau advocated civil dis obedience against what they con- 1 siderea intolerable situations. Compares Trip Luce also compared his trio to Cuba with the civil disobedience used by Negroes and others in the South in civil rights matters. At tins, a group of students started clapping and demonstrat ing and Willis gave the order for the removal of their leaders. As the police moved in and grabbed the first two, Luce turned around in the witness chair and loudly deplored their removal for what he declared was "just clapping." "This is something you can get away with in Louisiana or Vir ginia, but I can't stand it here," he shouted over the din. The names of the other ejected spectators were not immediately available. Atmosphere Was Tens. The atmosphere had been tense but restrained both inside and outside the hearing room until William Massie, 28, a dishwasher of New York began loudly object ing to being blocked from enter ing the bearing. Eight policemen subsequently carried him out of the building as he continued to shout epithets. Massie yelled that there was more freedom in Cuba than in Washington. Luce was the first-witness to day and even before giving his name and address launched Into an attack on the committee, de ploring Us "despicable conduct" in barring sympathizers of the illegal junketcers from the bear ing. But Willis cut him short and told him to answer questions and stop making a speech. Answer Most Questions Luce, formerly of Springfield, Ohio, now of New York City, an swered almost all of the questions put to him by Willis and commit tee counsel Alfred P. Nittle. He (Continued On Pag. 2) ferred with top officials today about the reasons for and means of dealing with the abortive re volt. Goulart flew In Thursday night from the southern provincial cap ital of Porto Alegre, tight-lipped and apparently intent on dealing firmly with the rebels. I will not tolerate indiscipline or insubordination from any quar ter, by any person or under any pretext," he told newsmen at the airport. "Only in a climate of security, normality and democracy can the Brazilian people carry out the re forms to which we aspire ... the government will be inflexible in the maintenance of order." The revolt, by enlisted marines, soldiers and airmen Inflamed by the refusal of civilian authorities to recognize the election of any army sergeant to a state legisla-. tore, was quickly suppressed by loyal army units. There was little .'ighting, and casualties were minor one rebel marine killed and two wounded and a civilian killed when he ig nored orders to bait at a rebel roadblock. ij
