strength swiftly in support of

Vance said he would not try

I have stated what the pur

He was asked what the State
Department meant when it said
this week that America plans no
troop reductions in Germany

must consult and study with
our Allies the possibilities for

County Planners
Okay Zoning Bid
The Douglas County Planning
Commission Thursday night
recommended approval of
petition from Dr. Harvey Kring;
and Camillo Domcmco for
zone change from single resi
dences to agricultural land des
ignation for a portion of the
lower Keasy Road area.
The recommendation came
following a public hearing on
the petition. There were no pro
tests, and the recommendation
will be forwarded to the Doug
las County Court.
The commission formally ded
icated a road involving county-!
owned property adjacent to Bar-
view Heights south of Winches
ter Bay. Barview Heights is
being developed by John Ziol-
kowski. The road will provide
access to the subdivision as well
as to county property which
previously had no vehicle ac
cess. ,
Action on a petition for vaca
tion of a dedicated street which
has never been developed in
the lower Garden Valley area
near Cleveland Rapids Road
was tabled pending investiga
tion.
The Planning Commission
heard a report by County Sani
Uarian Jack Osborne on the
sewage-problems in the Keasey-
Calkins area and recommended
that the results, of Osborne's
study be directed to the County
Court. Osborne has recommend
ed installation of a sanitary
system in the year, and has
said annexation to the City of
Roseburg would provide the
most feasible means of financ
ing such a project.

U.S. Plans
Draft Tests
At Age 18
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
Defense Department is consid
ering a plan under which all
youths would be given physical
and mental tests for the draft
at the age of 18, it was learned
today.
At present, the physical and
mental tests are given at the
time of induction, which aver
ages 23 years.
Defense officials said the pur
pose of the change would be to
increase voluntary enlistments
in the armed services.
They said they believed that
more youths would enlist if
they knew they were physical
ly and mentally qualified and
probably would be drafted five
years later anyway.
More than half of the poten
tial draftees now are rejected
by physical and mental tests
but it is believed the rate of
rejections would be far smaller
if they were given to all
youths.
Enlistments already provide
by far the greater porportion
of the recruits for the Army,
Navy, Air Force and Marines.
Only the -Army is using draft
ees. In 1962 there were 324,000
enlistments against 81,000 draft
inductions.
. Conceivably, officials said,
enlistments could rise with fur
ther encouragement to a point
where inductions would be rare
or unnecessary.

County jail, without probation.
The jury was unanimous in its
verdict, returned after only 38
minutes of deliberation.
The state brought out in testi
mony that Mrs. Moore, mother
of seven children, was receiv-1
ing in excess of $240 monthly
in welfare funds during the pe
riod in question covering about
a year, while at the same time
her husband was receiving
about $280,: in Industrial . acci
dent payments'. Her two sons, of
high school age and for whom
she was receiving a special al
Iotment, allegedly were working!
at Roseburg Lumber Co., mak
ing in excess of $300 monthly
each.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Philip
Washburn produced witnesses
during the day long trial to
bear out that more than $1,100
was coming into the family, In
cluding the welfare payments
during this period.
The defense contended, how
ever, that Mrs. Moore was re
ceiving her welfare money le
gally. Attorney James McGinty
attempted to prove that Mrs
Moore had been deserted by
her husband, and while it was
admitted he was receiving in
dustrial accident payments, he
contended Mrs. Moore was not
being in any way benefited
from his money.
It was also claimed that one
of the sons had been laid up

The state's case was based on1
cirsumstantial evidence, with
the assumption that Mrs. Moore
was receiving money for sup
port from some of the sources
mentioned, in addition to her
welfare support payments.
The state produced evidence
that Mrs. Moore had . signed

Mme. Nhu Raps
Aid Withdrawal
AUSTIN. Tex. (UPI) Mme,
Ngo Dinh Nhu said Thursday
night the United States had ex

Yugoslavia than had been given
to her Southeast Asia coun
try, which was fighting com
munism.
We have paid back with
14,000 casualties a year. . .with
our blood," she said, while
Yugoslavia "has paid back
nothing."
The First Lady of South Viet
Nam said her country wanted
to become more independent
but did not want to lose all U.
S. aid. Some aid to her coun
try recently was withheld, ,
"We are not beggars," Mme
Nhu said, "your gift is not just
a one-way gift. We paid back
with blood."
She said aid to her country
was closely controlled while
Communist Yugoslavia received
help without limitation.
Daylight Time
Comes To End
Sunday Morn
By United Press International
Daylight saving time, not long
ago a touchy topic in Oregon,
comes to a peaceful end for the
year Sunday.
This was the first year
in three years that Oregon had
uniform time throughout the
late spring, summer and early
fall.
A 1961 legislative act permit
ted five counties to adopt fast
time. They did. So did some
others, although they weren't
supposed to.
This resulted in confusion in
1961 and 1962.
So voters last year approved
daylight time for the entire
state. They had it ending in the
last week of September. The
1963 legislature took care of the
rest extending it until the last
last week of October to
conform with other states that
moved up the clock.
Sometime Saturday night rest
dents are supposed to move the
clock back an hour.
Woman Hits
U.N. Envoy
With Sign
DALLAS (UPI) Adlai Ste-
venson, U.S. ambassador to the
United Nations, gave an opti
ministic view of the U.N.'s rec
ord of preserving peace Thurs
day night, then had to fight his
way . through a militant mob
that cursed, booed, beat and
spat on him.
Outnumbered police tried to
escort him to a waiting limou
sine. But a woman rushed up
and rapped Stevenson on the
head with an anti-U.N. placard.
Two young men spat in his
face.
Police arrested a 22-year-old
North Texas State University
student. They said he would be
charged with inciting to riot
and aggravated assault on Ste
venson, j .
About 70 demonstrators
shoved and jostled Stevenson,
who spoke to commemorate the
U.N. Day in Texas.
"It was a concerted action by
members of (former Maj.
Gen.) Edwin Walker's follow
ing and the John Birchers,"
Jack Goren, president ot the
sponsoring Dallas U.N. Associ
ation, said.
"All they've done is disgrace
Dallas and the good manners of
Texans and Americans."
Stevenson said he did not un
derstand why persons of differ
ent points of view showed such
"bad manners." -
Frank B. McGehee, leader
of a conservative movement
known as the National Indigna
tion Convention, rose from the
second row of Dallas Memorial
Auditorium as Stevenson pre
pared to start speaking. ,
"Mr. Ambassador,'' McGehee
said, "I have a question.",
-"I -will'1 be ' glad ' to "''give
you equal time when I am
through," Stevenson said.
Again McGehee rose and
started to address Stevenson.
"Throw him out," cried per
sons throughout the crowd of
5,000.
I don't have to come from
Illinois to teach Texans man
ners, do I?" Stevenson asked.
Escorted From Hall
Police escorted McGehee out
of the hall.
Members of conservative or
ganizations sat in scattered
parts of the auditorium, many
waved American flags and
some Confederate banners. Ste
venson had to stop speaking
several times because of hiss
ing, booing and cat-calls.
Stevenson said differences be
tween Communist China and
Russia are deep and serious
and because of them "the cold
war will never be the same
again. We 'are moving into a
new era."
He said the atmosphere in
the U.N. was the best since
1946 because all nations were
talking the language of diplo
macy. He termed the world or
ganization a solid investment,
costing about $100 million a
year.
