small landslide fell into the arti
ficial lake two months ago, send
ing a small wave over the edge.
He added that tests made at
the time showed that a large
landslide like Wednesday night's
could cause a major disaster.
Petrin said a number of large
rocks fell into the lake Wednesday
afternoon.

Alabama Racial
Situation Moves
Toward Crises
BIRMINGHAM,' Ala. (UPD
Birmingham's troubled racial sit
uation moved toward the crisis
stage again today with the rejec
tion of Negro desegregation de
mands by city officials.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
and other Negro leaders had
given the city two weeks to hire
25 Negro policemen and begin
talks aimed at upgrading city
employment of Negroes or face a
resumption of racial demonstra
tions. .
Mayor Albert Boutwcll and the
City Council Wednesday night
turned down the ultimatum, pre
sented in a registered letter from
the Rev. Fred Shuttlcsworth.
Councilman John Golden said the
letter represented "a gun at our
heads and I resent It."-
Boutwell said "1 have never
dignified any of these frantic
messages and demands with a
reply or answer."
King and Shuttlcsworth said a
massive desegregation campaign
would begin in two weeks if the
demands were not met. They
said if the city showed signs be
fore the deadline that the de
mands would not be met, demon
strations would begin immedi
ately. King led a month-long drive
here last spring that brought
more than 2,300 arrests and saw
racial tension reach, the boiling
point. He said "bigger and more
determined" protests could fol
low, and threatened a huge civil
rights march.
Three white men with Kii Klux
Klan Sackgrounds were free on
appeal bonds here after convic
tion on misdemeanor charges of
illegal dynamite possession.
In a brief hearing Wednesday
R. E. Chambliss, 59, and John
Hall, 36, were fined $100 and sen
tenced to 180 days in jail for dy
namite possession the night a
Negro lawyer's home was
bombed. The previous day
Charles Cagle, 22, received a
similar sentence.
None of the defendants present
ed defense witnesses, or spoke In
their own behalf, and all were
freed on $300 appeal bonds.

Botulism Toll
Reaches Seven
KNOXVILLE, Tcnn. (UPI) -Doctors
sought, through the use
of a rare antitoxin, today to pre
vent the death toll from a sus
pected outbreak of botulism from
rising above seven.
Ten persons were being treated
in hospitals here and Nashville
for the deadly food poisoning, be
lieved contracted through pack
aged smoked whitcfish. Nine of
the patients were improved
enough to be listed in .satisfactory
or fair condition.
But doctors at Vanderbilt Hos
pital in Nashville said George
Breault, 54, was "showing increas
ing difficulties with his breath
ing." They said he probably
would be placed in a tank-type
respirator.
The toll from the suspected out
break rose to seven Wednesday
night with the announcement that
a man believed to have died of
cerebral . hemorrhage last Satur
day at Nashville actually suc
cumbed to botulism.
Supplies of the rare and expen
sive anti-toxin were flown here
from Canada and Denmark to
supplement the United States'
small supply. .
Medical authorities here said
"we believe we have enough
serum to take care of the cases
we have here and there (Nash
ville)" assuming there aren't
many new cases. They received
a partial shipment of the anti
toxin serum from Denmark
Wednesday the third load of the
scarce formula in two days.
The fish was tentatively linked
to the deaths of two persons here,
three in Nashville and two in Kal
amazoo, Mich., in the past 11
days.
Tests at the Upjohn Labiratory
in Kalamazoo and the Food and
Drug Administration facility in
Detroit indicated type "E" botul
ism was present in the deaths of
the Michigan couple, Mr. and
Mrs. Chester O. Mitchell.

Survey Due
Supt. Al Neet said that the California-Pacific
Gas Co., in answer
to a request by the board, will
make a survey of the heating sys
tems in the school buildings and
will report on the cost of convey
sion of oil to natural gas. The sur
vey will be made after the first
of the year and in time for the
budget study, Neet said. .
The board did not approve a re
quest by the Classroom Teachers
Association that teachers send
home with students the request
that parents vote "yes" on the Oct.
15 tax referendum bill. . Approval
was not given because the pros
and cons of the bill were not pre
sented according to Mrs.. Biren
baum. .
The company which carries the
fire insurance for the buildings in
the school' district advised that
coverage be extended since evalu
ation of school buildings has in
creased since 1960, from $1,581,207
to $1,878,000. The board approved
the extension.
Building Okayed
Howard Bingham, new high
school principal, requested that the
board rent the basement of a build
ing across the street from . the
high school in order that wrestling
practice may be held there. Heretofore,-
during basketball season,
school wrestlers had to be taken
to Tri-City for practice. This in
volved too much travel time, Bing
ham said. '
The board agreed to rent the
basement for $50 per month, with
minor repairs to be borne by the
school district. It was pointed out
that the building would be used
only for practice and that the reg
ular wrestling meets would be held
in the school gymnasium. The sec
tion of building which will be used
for practice is part, of the former
Goal Post restaurant which has
been closed for the past two years.

The Roseburg Junior Chamber of
Commerce at a meeting this week
voted as a - group to oppose the

A spokesman said the club's po
sition is that "passing the referen

ter proposal does not constitute a
'yes vote.
He added the club is hopeful that
defeat of the measure would "cause
the government to become more ef

Approval For Married
VATICAN CITY (UPI) Mis
sionary bishops from Africa, Asia
and Latin America today appealed
strongly to the Ecumenical Coun
cil for approval of a controver
sial proposal to ordain married
deacons in areas where there is
an acute shortage of priests.
"Even if you don't need deacons
in your diocese, we do in ours,"
Negro Archbishop Bernard Yago
of Abidjan, West Africa, told the
council fathers.
The council also heard similar
pleas for restoration of the an
cient New Testament order of
deacons from Archbishop Jose
Sutherlin Youths
Get Prison Terms
Irvin Melvin Essig, 21, of Wil
bur, and Buster Eugene Simmons,
18, Suthcrlin, each were meted
terms in the Oregon Correctional
Institution on appearance before
Circuit Judge Charles S. Woodrich
for burglary.
Essig was sentenced to two years
and Simmons 18 months, for burg
larizing the barn and garage of
August Hamel, Rt. 1, Box 256,
Sutherlin, on Sept. 10. Both waiv
ed services of an attorney and
grand jury action, went before the
judge on the district attorney's in
formation, and pleaded guilty to
the charges.
The loot recovered by investigat
ing sheriff's deputies, who traced
the two men by following foot
prints through a walnut grove to a
home I'j miles away, included fur
niture pieces, chain saws, tool box
and tools, and numerous other
items, which were stored on the
Hamel farm property. They admit
ted making several trips to the
farm, after first helping themselves
to corn in a cornfield.
In other Circuit Court actions
Tuesday, Judge Woodrich placed
Robert F. Whitney, 21, of Monroe,
on probation for three years with
imposition of sentence suspended
during that time, on a plea of
guilty to larceny by bailee.
He pleaded guilty to a charge of
pawning an accordion at a pawn
shop, which previously had been
purchased for a low down payment
at Rickett's Music Store. Condi
tions of probation are that he make
contract payments for the instru
ment. Mary Jennings, 24, also of Mon
roe, faces a similar charge of lar
ceny by bailee in connection with
the same case, but her case has
not yet come up for disposition.

half of 40 missionary bishops
from China, Viet Nam, Korea
and Japan; and from Archbishop
Anton van den Hurk of Mcdan,
Indonesia, speaking on behalf of
30 Indonesian bishops.
The parade of missionary bish
ops indicated strong support in
mission areas for the pending
proposal under which deacons
would be ordained to carry on
many of the functions now re
served for priests, with the ex
ception of hearing confession and
offering Mass.
The proposal had been snarply
attacked earlier in this session of
the council by Francis Cardinal
Spellman of New York, who
warned that an order of married
deacons might jeopardize the tra
dition of celibacy for the priest
hood. A Curia cardinal, Fernando
Cento, also spoke in favor of res
toration of the diaconate but said
deacons should be bound to celi
bacy like priests. He acknowl
edged this might diminish the
number of men available for-deacons
but said it would produce
better quality.
The bishops approved at to
day's session seven amendments
to the document on reform of the
liturgy which was debated at the
first session of the council last
fall.
All of the amendments dealt
with concelebration of the Mass
that is, joint recitation by several
priests. The amendments had the
