that "citizen action" is needed to
break the stalemate.
Jack Davis, city Park and Play
ground Commission member and
former city councilman, suggested
formation of a citizens committee
which would include in its member
ship a broad cross-section of citi
zen representation.
Formation of such a committee,
It was observed, would give resid
ents a chance to express their de
sires to the court and perhaps
demonstrate more clearly the com
munity's interest in getting the
project under way.
Participants in the l'A-hour aft
ernoon tour included city council
men, administrative personnel,
members of the Park and Play
ground, Airport and Planning com
missions and representatives of
press and television. The group
took a look at various improve
ment projects undertaken within
the city and inspected areas where
future improvement activities arc
proposed. Purpose of the get-together
was to bring the "official
family" closer together and to
demonstrate that the administra
tive units are working together as
a team.
Development Noted
City Manager Craig McMlcken
told the dinner gathering that one
important development of the year
was the initiation of a program to
set aside a portion of proceeds
from parking meter revenues to
develop off-street parking. He re
ported, however, that the plan for
acquiring suitable property for
such parking has been unsuccess
ful to date. He said the city has
now accumulated $8,500 from park
Ing meter revenues and is looking
at possible sites in a central busi
ness area.
Property in the blast area is un
I der consideration. One official sug
gested that consideration should be
given the possibility of establish
ing parking facilities at the south
end of the business district as well,
to serve b'isincss houses at that end
ond to provide a more equal dis
tribution of the parking facilities.
In a discussion of upcoming
projects, it was disclosed that a
residential street paving program
will be launched this fall for se
lected streets in the Cloakes Ferry
area. Public Works Director Ken
neth Mong said his department is
working on plans which involve a
total two miles of street improve
ment next year. He said prelimin
ary plans will be presented to the
Roseburg City Council in the near
future.
Work To Be Done
The work will be done in con
nection with the present adminis
tration's policy goal of upgrading
Roseburg's residential streets. In
the Cloakes Ferry proposal, the
Cily Council would Initiate the
project. But the normal legal pro
cedures would be observed, includ
ing property owner right to remon
strate. Another report to the city offi
cials indicated that Evergreen Bus
Co., which recently took over bus
service for Roseburg, is operating
satisfactorily. The firm was report
ed to be conducting a "sound and
efficient" operation.
It was also reported that negoti
ations are :.till under way on the
acquisition of properly for develop
ment of the Gateway (or River
side) Park. MeMickcn said "some
progress has been made."

US Unemployment
At Low For Year
WASHINGTON (UPI) Unem
ploymcnt in the United States de
clined by 341,000 in September to
a total of 3,516,000, the . lowest
thus far in 1963 but almost identi
cal with the September, 1962, fig
ure. At the same time, employment
in September dropped by 1,015,-
000, according to a Labor Depart
ment report released Thursday.
Both the drop in the jobless total
nd the decline in employment
were attributed to normal end of
summer seasonal change.
Unemployment also fell in July
and August. It usually reaches its
yearly low-point in October, ac
cording to the department.
The seasonally adjusted rate of
unemployment rose from 5.5 to
5.6 per cent of the labor force in
September, but a change that
small was not considered statis
tically significant.
I he department said nearly 2
million teen-age workers dropped
out of the labor force. Another
700,000 adult women found iobs
last month; about half of them
were teachers.
The reason that both uncmnlov-
me.iil and employment could drop
sknr.iiancously was that the labor
force declined by about 1.4 mil
lion workers, the department said.

Christine Seeks To Discredit
Story Of Prosecution Witness
LONDON (UPI) The defense
attempted today to discredit the
testimony of the key prosecution
witness that Christine Keelcr, the
call girl of the Profumo scandal,
was beaten up by n white ex
ennvict and not the' discarded
West Indian lover she accused of
the assault.

beauty and three co-defendants
are being given a hearing on
charges they framed Jamaican
jazz singer Aloysius (Lucky) Gor
don into a three-year jail term
for allegedly punching and kick
ing her.
His conviction later was
quashed and the ensuing police
investigation , led to Miss Heeler's
arrest on perjury and conspiracy
charges. The perjury charge
alone carries a maximum term
of seven years on conviction.
When the hearing opened
Wednesday, John Hamilton
Marshall, brother of one of the
co-defendants, Paula Hamilton-
Marshall, 23, testified that he
had a violent battle with Miss
Kecler in her apartment on the
night of April 17-18 because she
accused him of examining pri
vate papers.

On Airline Service

nnnlinnind CPI-vif-P to - ROSCburg.
Mayor Thomas Garrison has sent
a letter to tne Civil Aeronautics
Board asking what the future has
to offer.
The letter was addressed to Har
old R. Sanderson, secretary of the
CAB in Washington, D.C.
Garrison said the grant of change
in service pattern given by the
CAB to WCA and the changes in
WCA scheduling which resulted in
.MttiniT Hnurn tho cprvicp fn Rose
burg "has had a harsh effect upon
passenger boardings, Me nsis juiy
hoardings as 246. August board-
iiios inftrr ihp ph.mee in sched
ule) as 50 and September board
ings as 88.
Shift Planned
He points out that under new
Federal Aviation Agency require
ments. WCA has taken the posi
tion that secheduling F27 aircraft
at the Rosenurg airport is not eco
nomical. (The airline is presently
using DC3s.) Garrison noles that
by the spring of 1864, West Coast
is planning to shift its entire op
erations to F27 prop-jets.
Garrison reports that rAA offi
cials have been working with the
city to determine the kind of im
provements necessary to permit
unrestricted "or more economi
cal" F27 operations in Roseburg.
He indicates this is prompted by
the fear that if F27s are not eco
nomical to operate into the Rose
burg airport, WCA will find reason
enough to dicontinue even its one
round trip to the city daily.
One of the major improvements
being considered is lengthening of
the airport runway.
Factors Listed
"However, even if we can and
do make improvements which will
permit a regular schedule of .F27
operation," Garrison continues,
"there appears to be two addition
al factors which bear upon the
continuation of airline service and
which are out of our control." He
lists these as (1; the "use it or
lose it" formula and (2) "the atti
tude of West Coast to provide an
adequate schedule."
He says Roseburg can generate
sufficient passenger traffic as far
as the "use it or lose it policy is
concerned (no less than five board
ings a day) "if given two round
trips daily with suitable sched
ules." He says the eight boardings
a day in July demonstrate this fact.
The mayor's most pointed ques
tion lo the CAB involved its sub
sidy program. He says the Aug. 1
reduction in service was prompt
ed in part by an estimated oper
ating savings of $17,000 for WCA,
"coupled with an annual increase
of $38,055 under the class rate sub
sidy structure." He insists that the
net effect of this strange subsidy
arrangement "is to make it more
attractive to West Coast to reduce
service than to keep it. lie con
tends that this leaves little inccn-

The mayor then asks if West
Coast will be allowed to discontin
ue service to Rosi.burg when it
converts to F27s. "If we are able
to make airport improvements
which will permit unrestricted or
more economical F27 operations in
Roseburg, what is the likelihood of
increasing service to two round
trips daily?" he continues.
Garrison says it -seems that
"sometimes the CAB subsidy pro
gram has the effect of working
contrary to stated national policy"
of assisting small town airports.
"What can the air future for Rose
burg be under these conditions?"
he concludes.
Judge Reverses
Jurv's Verdict
A judgment notwithstanding the
verdict has been returned by Cir
cuit Court Judge Charles S. Wood
lich in the recent trial of the case
of Nancy Hamlin vs. Levi White.
The trial jury awarded the plain
tiff general damages of $2,500 and
special damages of $590.30. She
had asked for $15,000 general dam
ages for injuries suffered Jan. 9,
1961, when the school bus she was
driving rammed into the rear of
White's car.
She alleged that White had stop
ped abruptly in front of her, when
he sought to make a right turn off
W. Harvard Blvd., onto W. Shen
andoah St., causing her to drive
her bus into the car.
The judge's action nullifies the
verdict of the jury, returned at
the conclusion of the trial Sept. 17
and 18. Tlie judgment notwithstand
ing the verdict favors the defend
ant, who not only does not have
to pay the damages but is granted
the right to recover his trial costs.
The judgment order was made
on motion of the defendant, who
had moved for a directed verdict
during the trial. The judge stated
he was of the opinion then that
the directed verdict should be al
lowed, but preferred to give the
case to the jury for its determina
tion at that time.
