"I haven't been able to sleep since I found out about his re lease," Mrs. Gcarhart said. As in the case of Makinen, the i Priest's Freedom Climaxes Eight Years Of U.S. Effort WASHINGTON (UP!) The return from Russia of the Rev. Walter Ciszek, a 58-year-old Ro man Catholic priest from Shenan doah, Pa., today climaxed State Department efforts in his behalf that spanned two administrations and more than eight years. Father Ciszek and another American prisoner of the . Rus sians, Marvin Makinen, 24, a stu dent from Ashburnham, Mass., were exchanged for two ' accused Soviet spies Friday. Makinen had been imprisoned in the Soviet Un ion on spy charges since the sum mer of 1961, but the priest was believed to have been a prisoner of the Russians since about 1940.

Barry Goldwater, the front-runner, is to arrive in this college community near the Pacific Coast at 8 p.m. EDT. He speaks in the late evening to the same group. Rockefeller arrived Friday night to see an airport crowd es timated by police at 450, and seemed cheered by his reception. "Gee, I've got a lot of friends here," he told Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield, who greeted him on his arrival in a privately chartered Jet. " ' . When the smiling Rockefeller waved to the crowd from' the steps of the plane, there were no cheers. Later, however, when the governor stepped to an Improvised stand to speak, the crowd cheered lustily.

"His plans have not been ar ranged yet," Father McCawlcy said. At the reunion, both his father and stepmother, Mr. and Mrs, William J. Makinen, burst into tears. His father was so over come he had to sit down. Young Makinen, however, remained Helen C. Gcarhart of Washington, Father Ciszck's family had not seen or heard from him since the outbreak of World War II in 1939, except for a brief message in 1955. Father Ciszek was born in Shenandoah on Nov. 4, 1904. A member of the Jesuit order, he went to Rome in 1934 after attending the order's seminary at Woodstock, Md. He was ordained at the Vatican in 1937 and a year later was assigned to a Jesuit seminary in Poland, near the Russian frontier. Mrs. Gcarhart said that in 1940 the family was told by one of the Priests superiors that "the Bolsheviks" had taken him, ap parently when the Russians in vaded Poland during the period REV.

I am alive. If you write to this address, I'll roply." The envelope bore an ad dress in the Soviet Union. Since then, she said, the State Department "has worked very hard trying to get him out." Mrs. Gcarhart said that she had planned to visit her brother in August and that Soviet authori ties had agreed to let him travel to Mosrow to meet her. But suddenly early this month, she said, the Soviet embassy here cancelled her visa, probably because of the impending re lease, although she suspected nothing of this sort at the time. Scottsburg Author To Address Nurses Mrs. Gladys Workman, Scotts burg, noted authoress, will be guest speaker at the Tuesday dinner meeting of District 11 of ,tlie Ore gon Nurses Association.

KLAUDT INDIAN FAMILY m u ! 1 calm and somewhat placid in ap pearance throughout the reunion and a subsequent news confer ence. But when he met his 8-year-old stepsister, Kathy, outside at the family car, he broke down. Sob bing, he hugged and kissed her repeatedly. Shortly before, while still com posed, Makinen said the first thing he wanted to do was "get a good rest and a sauna (steam bath)." , During the news conference, he refused to discuss the aspects of his . arrests . and imprisonment which began in July, 1961. The family attorney, Oliver S. Allen, of Boston, who acted for the Makinens in their efforts to bring about their son's freedom, said, however, "much of the informa tion is already public. . .we can not reveal- anymore." '. Gets Frequent Letters Allen said Makinen had been confined in Vladimir, about 100 miles from Moscow, and that the familv had been able to write him regularly and "freely until re cently; when we were only al lowed to write one letter a month." Makincn's parents described their son's return "like a dream come true." His mother added, I always knew he'd come back sooner or later. The elder Makinen said he had "never lost faith and hope that my son would someday come back home." He said he and his wife's fight to bring about the re turn "has been long and hard tnd at times seemed hopeless." Father Ciszek was the first off the Londonto-New York plane. He was wearing a bright green, parka-like overcoat over his civil ian garb. Makinen wore a fur lined, hooded knee-length coat. First Lady Visits Island Of Delphi ITEA. Island of Delphi (UPI) Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy ar rived today at the island of Del phi, where legend says the an cient Greeks consulted the gods. The First Lady and her -party went ashore from the yacht Chris tina, which anchored in Ilea har bor alter a three-hour trip lrom the island of Ithaca. Mrs. Kennedy gave up her own cor so that United Press Inter national driver Vangelis Pnnago- poulos could take her on a tour of Delphi. She recognized Panagopoulos, 52, as her chauffeur on a previ ous Greek visit and asked wheth er lie would again drive for her. UPI put the driver and car at the First Lady's disposal. She in turn ordered her own car switched to UPI. Mrs. Kennedy, who had not been seen in public since Thurs day, wore a rose, linen dress and rose lipstick. She was accompanied by her sister, Princess Lee Radziwill, and Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, Jr. Columbia Students To Hear Mme. Nhu NEW YORK (UPI) Mme.

C. Riley, manager of tho Roseburg office of the Oregon State Employ ment Service. Local office activities compared favorably with those of last month as well as 0119 year ago, with a no table increase in the number of job placements made. Figure Low The insured unemployed, as com pared to the average covered em ployment stood at 1.9. below the state total of 2.1 and the Rose burg figure of 2.8 four weeks ago, 2.3 a year ago, 3.1 two years ago, and 3 1 three years ago.

EGOROV, 41, and his wife, Aleksandro, 39, orraigned in July as Russian spies, are driven to International Airport in New York for a flight to Moscow. In a peaceful move, they were released in return for an American priest and a student held by the Rus sians. (UPI Teleohoto) Kremlin Maintains Silence On Protests Over Blockade lin was silent today on strong U.S. protests against itussian mil itary blocking of American Army convoys on the Berlin Highway, but it was expected eventually to reject the charges. U. S. Ambassador Foy Kohler spent 30 minutes with Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valeri an Zorin in the skyscraper for eign ministry building here Fri day night, delivering a verbal protest against Soviet tactics. It was understood Kohler's pre sentation was made in "strong terms." The Soviet government and press early today had not told the Russian people about the dis pute between American military convoys and Soviet border guards. An indication of possible Soviet reaction was contained in a com ment late Friday night by the Communist East Germany's offi cial news agency ADN, which de nounced the refusal of U.S. to submit to a Soviet head count as "provocative." The dispatch suggested that if the American soldiers had dis mounted and submitted to a "rou tine" Russian head count, noth ing would have happened. No details of Kohler's protest to Zorin were released beyond a bare statement that the Ameri can ambassador called on the deputy foreign minister "and pro tested the detention of U.S. mili tary convoys at Autobahn check points at Babelsbcrg." Secretary of State Dean Rusk handed a similar protest "in strong terms" to Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei G r o in y k o in Washington. Dwarf Pear Tree Busts In Bloom What with the threats of rain and cold, snappy weather lately, one would think that winter is here, or at least fast approaching. But not everyone, or everything, is inclined to agree. Take the case of Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Morgan of Melrose. They have a pear tree, dwarf size, that apparently doesn't seem to know what season this is. Although it's lost its leaves like any normal little tree should be doing this time of the year, it's started to blossom again. According to Mrs. Morgan, the tree is brusting forth with blossoms like the first rays of spring were shining on it. It now has five or six clumps of blossoms, and more are on their way. The little pear tree already went through this stage once this year in the springtime. Maybe since its so small in size (only five feet tall) it wants to make up for it by blossoming more than its big brothers. building permits for a value of $163,659. National Employ the Handicap ped Week will again be observed the week beginning Oct. 6. This is the week set aside by the Presi dent to give recognition to the many individuals and firms, na-:. tionwide, who believe it is "abili ty" and not "disability" that counts ill job performances. Recent figures released by the Research and Statistics Depart ment show that for 1962 the annual average number of employed for Douglas County was 22.450 repre senting a payroll of S119.797.241. ' Lumber and wood products manu facturing represents 32.44 per cent of this labor force. Weather conditions will likely lie ! a determining factor in the level of the economy for the next 30 to 60 days. There are no indications : of a seasonal decline as yet.

Douglas County STATE Roseburg Oakland iliuXMTrvIt 1 1 J Council Continues Debate On Bishops VATICAN CITY (UPI) Pope Paul VI has decided that freedom of debate is more important than strict adherence to the timetable at the Ecumenical Council. As a result, the council will continue debate next week on a subject that many delegates are heartily tired of: the authority of bishops. The question is whether bishops as a body share responsibil ity with the Pope for the govern ment and teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. To a layman, this may not sound like a terribly important is sue certainly not one that would require two weeks of de bate by 2,300 cardinals, archbis hops and bishops from all parts of the world. Pope Paul considers it the most basic issue before the council at its present session, because it ould reverse the centuries-old order of centralization of Catho lic authority and open the door to a greater partnership between the Pope and the bishops in the oper ations of the church. There is very little doubt that the council eventually will ap prove the idea of decentralization by an overwhelming majority. Debate since the second council session opened Sept. 29 has made clear that the only real issue is exactly how the doctrine will be worded. Many bishops had hoped that the four cardinals who serve as the council's moderators (chair men) would act to cut off debate on the issue, but the moderators, after conferring privately with the Pope, announced that the debate will continue into next week. Myrtle Creek Man Dies In Car Crash A 23-year-old former resident of Myrtle Creek who had just recent ly moved to California was killed in a one-car accident near Red ding, Calif. Friday.

It rolled over and crashed into an embank ment. A passenger, Ronald Burk hart, 19, of Dcnair, Calif., was hospitalized with cuts and bruises. News-Review correspondent Lor raine Bircnhaum said Battles had moved to California during the past few days. A mill worker, he and his family had lived in Myrtle Creek since last May. His wife and children had already moved to California and were staying with her parents while he was in the process o; completing the move. BANK Sutherlin V x: 2 The News-Review, Roseburg, High School Students Hear Racing Driver Indianapolis 500 driver Johnny Boyd spoke to Roseburg High School boys during an assembly Friday morning on highway safety. Boyd, who has raced in the 500 nine times, told the youths the basics of safety on the nation's highways are practiced in the rac es. He stressed three points as be ing the most important in high way safety courtesy, mental alertness and condition of equip ment. Another important fact is driving for the conditions of the highway, regardless of the speed limit. If drivers would drive de fensively on the highway with the thought in mind the other driver is going to make a mistake, there would be a lot less accidents. 'Hot Roddlng' Discussed Naturally, speaking to young people, the subject of "hot rod ding" came into the talk. He said racing drivers ridicule the hot rod driver. "If there was a way to stop or pull the license of these drivers, we would endorse it. They're a menace on the highway. Such things as squealing tires, racing and showing off in general behind the wheel of an automo bile are just plain juvenile, re gardless of age. We call them frustrated drivers," he said. Boyd ended up as a spectator in the last Indianapolis race when a mechanical failure of the car he was driving forced him to quit. However, in the past he has laced in the top ten in four races. In 195S he placed third and had Man Pleads Innocent Of AssualtOnWife Clyde James Fachrell, 42, Myrtle Creek, pleaded innocent to assault and battery on his wife, Esther May, on Oct. 8.

Fire-Fighting Plan Urged By Forester "First aid" is needed in fighting fires at home, according to County Extension Forester Bob Bradley. In conjunction with Fire Preven tion Week, he urged home owners. in JI.I.JJIIIVU u, nviu a inc ill check until the fire department equipment arrives. , First, he said, members of the lamuy snouiu noi iaKe unnecessary chances in attempting to deal with a fire. "Lives are irreplaceable; property is not." But il l good sense, he says, to De equippea wun lirst am fire fighting tools and for everyone to know how to use them. One im portant tool, he said, is a fire ex tinguisher of adequate size and proper type for the kind of fire expected. Extinguishers should be placed strategically in all fire dan ger areas in home, kitchens, barns, machine sheds and near storage tanks of gasoline and kero sene. The manufacturer's instructions should be followed and all mem- iar with those instructions. Another good fire fighting tool is a garden hose sprayer, he says. Filled water buckets are useful in and around buildings, too. Particularly for home safety, liddcrs to reach the highest roof tops and windows should be quick ly available. To complete the first aid fire fighting equipment, those on farms should have pump tanks or sprayers, fire swatters, brooms and burlap bags to be prepared for field and brush fires.
