"general and complete disarma
ment" treaty and discuss relaxa
tion of international tension.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko, in a policy speech to the
General Assembly, also called for
a U.S.-Russian agreement not to
send nuclear weapons into space.
He proposed that the 18 coun
tries invited to participate in the
current Geneva arms talks
France dcplincd the invitation
convene a new conference next
year at a. convenient site to be
decided.
He said Russia would welcome
"the heads of governments or
state" of the conference members
in Moscow for such a conference.
In a speech reflecting the "Mos
cow spirit" which followed, last
month's signing of the partial nu
clear test ban treaty Gromyko

noted only to lash out at West
Germany.
He declared that Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer's Bonn govern
ment "inevitably" would throw a
monkey wrench into plans for re
laxation of international tension.
Gromyko called for "leading
statesmen of the highest level" to
participate in the new 18-national
disarmament conference during
the first quarter or first half of
next year.
"The Soviet government be
lieves that this conference should
discuss both the question of gen
eral and complete disarmament
and separate measures to achieve
the further alleviation of interna
tional tensions," Gromyko said.
' . . .such a conference could be
convened at any place convenient
for its participants.
Issues Invitation
"For its purpose, the Soviet
government would be prepared to
receive for the purpose of such a
conference the heads of govern
ment or stale of the members of
the committee in Moscow."
A Soviet delegation spokesman
amplified Gromyko's proposal,
saying:
"Of course, highest level means
Khrushchev and Kennedy and
other heads of state."
Gromyko also retreated ram
Russia's previous Insistence that
nuclear weapons and their ve
hicles of delivery be destroyed at
the end of the second stage of
gradual disarmament.
"The Soviet government stales
its readiness to agree that limited
contingents of intcrnconlincntal,
anti-missile and anti-aircraft mis
siles should remain at the dis
posal of the U.S.S.R. and the
United States in their own tcrri
toreis not only until the end of the
second stage, but also until the
end of the third stage until the
completion of the whole process of
general and complete disarma
ment," he said. ,
"With the U.S.S.R and the
United States retaining a limited
t.umber of rockets, the problem of
confidence in the process of dis
armament will turn out to be
solved even under the most mis
trustful approach on the part of
(iiniffi)

Canadian Leader Sp.iks
Earlier today Canadian Prime
Minister Lester B. Pearson called
for a strengthening of the United
Nations' political, military, and
economic roles in order to make
the most of the easing of the cold
war.
Pearson warned that "when the
United Nations fails, its member
governments fail. When it suc
ceeds, the people, the plain and
good people of all the world suc
ceed." President Kennedy will address
the assembly Friday.

Reedsport Jail
Vote Set Friday
Reedsport voters will go to the
polls Friday to decide the fate of
a bond election for $47,500 to con
struct a new jail which would be
attached to the city recorder's of
fice in the Community Building.
The building itself would cost
$35,000, not counting engineering
and architectural costs, said Fred
Krusc, Coos Bay architect who
drew up the plans. The remainder
of the bonds would be used to re
locate the police station in th ecity
recorder's office.
The main reason for the bond
issue was a report earlier in the

8 p.m. in the Community Building.

For Heroic Efforts In Home Fire
By BILL SPARKS
News-Review Staff Writer
A shy, likeable Roseburg sev
enth grader sat with his head bow
ed while praises about his heroism
were voiced by Oregon's No. 1
fire - fighting authority Tuesday
night.
Jimmy Burt finally broke into a
smile as his picture was being
taken with state Fire Marshal Walt
Stickney after he had been pre
sented a plaque for his heroic ac
tion in saving the lives of six oth
er youngsters 1 when his home
caught fire last June 26.
The plaque, presented by t b e
Douglas County Fireman's Associ
ation, was given to Jimmy by the
state fire marshal at an associa
tion meeting in Canyonville. It was
the first such award made by the
Douglas County association.,

Boundary Reduced
By Realtor Board
The Douglas County Board of
Realtors voted at a meeting Wed
nesday noon in the Umpqua Hotel
to limit its boundaries and adopt
the name of Central Douglas Coun
ty Realty Board.
The membership approval was
given to permit the directors to
negotiate with the national associ-
RICHARD STEVENSON
. . . heads Realty Board
alion to make this possible. The
move will make it possible for re
altors in remote parts of the coun
ty to form their own groups or to
join boards nearer them.
The Hccdsport area realtors had
petitioned the county board for per
mission to withdraw, because of
the difficulty in attending t h e
twice-monthly meetings due to
travel distance. Previously the
Drain area was excluded so mem
bers there could join a Cottage
Grove board.
Proposed for boundaries will be
the area from the north Oakland
city limits south to the south Can
yonville city limits, and include the
areas to the cast and west. This
will exclude the Glendalc, Reeds
port and Drain-Yoncalla areas.
New president of the Board of
Realtors is Richard Stevenson, for
merly vice president, who was ele
vated to the position with the resig
nation of Gus Reynolds, due to
press of business.

mmmmmtitimt'm. LJ
Protection Association, Boston,
Mass., Honoring ine yuuns huk
burg boy for bis action.
Jimmy, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Byron Burt, spoke with several
firemen during the dinner prior
to the presentation, but when he
spoke it was not about fire fight
ing, but rather about his hopes of
becoming an artist when he grows
up and about his pride in the Jo
seph Lane Junior High School sev
enth grade football team. J i m is
a first string halfback on the sev
enth grade team, which seems at
the present to be his No. 1 point
of pride.
On one occasion he shyly reach
ed for his billfold and showed a
fireman one possession of which
he has full cause to be proud, a
letter of commendation from Gov.
Mark Hatfield. Jimmy says he
plans to frame that letter and put
it on his wall, along with the
plaque presented by the county
firemen.
In that letter, the governor told
Jimmy, "Your actions are certain
ly a credit to yourself and your
parents and your school, and I
i know all your friends in the Rose
burg community are proud of you.
It is wonderful to know that there
are young people who can respond
ss bravely to responsibility and
danger. I certainly wish to com
pliment you, not- only on your
courage, but also on your thought
fulness for the other children in
your home. I know you will be a
stalwart citizen and leader of
your community in the future."
Fire broke out in the Burt
home during the early morning
hours of June 26 while all mem
bers of the family were asleep.
Jimmy was awakened and heard
his uncle calling from the' down
stairs part of the two-story frame
house. The door to the hallway
was closed, and when he opened
it, he was confronted with a ball
of fire.
He closed this door and swiftly
rounded up the other children
(six) and forced them to lie down
on a floor in one of the back bed
rooms and remain calm. By this
time, his father had gotten a lad
der and put it up to the bedroom
window and the boy guided four
of the children down.

Umpqua Forest
Slash Burning
In Full Swing
Weather conditions were report
ed excellent as slash burning oper-:
ations got into full swing Wednes
day on ranger districts of the Ump
qua National Forest.
Umpqua fire official Homer Oft
said rainfall at higher elevations
throughout the forest provided the
desired burning conditions for
those areas.
"We fired one 70-acre block Wed
nesday and it burned beautifully,"
the oficial reported.
Burning activity was scheduled
to continue today, but subsequent
burns will depend on the weather.
Burning permits are required, Oft
stated.
Slash fires on National Forest
timber sale cuts die handled co
operatively by crews of the Forest
Service and timber operator. In a
controlled slash burn, fire lines
are prepared and the men are -in
position to patrol before the slash
is ignited. At all times, a close
watch is kept on the weather.
The Roseburg headquarters of
fice of the Douglas Forest Pro
tective Association also reported '
slash burning activity Wednesday
and today. Permits were issued
fcr burning on lands west of Yon
calla and in the Rock Wreck and
Canton Creek areas. Private tim
berland was involved.
Although campers may feel that
camplires no longer need lo be ex
tinguished, Oft emphasized that
forests can become dry again in
a very short time and unattended '
fires still could cause a conflagra
tion. He urged continued public'
cooperation to prevent further man :
caused fires.
