Duncan Ask
Federal Jobs
For Oregon
The Roseburg Chamber of
Commerce has received a let
ter from U. S. Hep Robert B
Duncan informing it he is at
tempting to set up a series of
conferences between local busi
nessmen and representatives of
the major federal agencies in a
campaign to bring more federal
contracts to the district.
"What I have envisioned is a
series of half-day meetings for
local business interests with
speakers outlining the opportu
nities available and procedures
necessary for securing govern
ment contracts in fields not now
represented in our area," Dun
can says.
lie says his campaign will
apply to businessmen in the en
tire 4th Congressional District,
lie said such meetings might
be held at centrally-located cit
ies, such as Eugene, Roseburg,
Medford and Coos Bay.
Duncan said he would supply
speakers, who would be repre
sentatives of various federal
agencies if the Chambers would
arrange the conferences.
Duncan said he is interested
in seeing industries in the 4th
District compete for the oppor
tunity to supply various federal
agencies with goods and serv
ices.
Roseburg Chamber of Com
merce Manager Harold Reaume
said he's certain the Chamber
board of directors will cooper
ate in the project. The matter
will be discussed at a board
meeting tonight in Roseburg.
Fir Grove Youngsters
Get Bicycle Licenses
The Roseburg Police Depart
ment issued 105 bicycle licenses
to boys and girls at Fir Grove
School Saturday morning.
Chief of Police John T. Tructt
said he and his assistants were
kept busy during the three-hour
period.
Dates will bo arranged for li
cense issuing at the other
schools within the city very
shortly. Rose School is next in
line. The city has secured 2,
000 licenses to be issued by
June 30 of next year. The li
cense costs SO cents and is good
for the life of the bike.
The principal purpose of li
censing is control and detection
in case of theft. It is very diffi
cult to trace an unlicensed bi
cycle that has been stolen, said
Tructt.
Currently the city has six
bicycles rocovorcd within the
city waiting to be claimed by
their owners. They are unlicens
ed and have no other way to
be traced to their owners, ex
cept by the owners presenting
their claim.
Ho asks that any party miss
ing a bicycle cull at the police
station to offer identification.
Those not claimed within a rea
sonable period will be offered
at an annual city auction.

George Gets National
American
Jack George, commander of
the Umpqua American Legion
Post of Roseburg, is one of the
men named to a list of national
committee jobs now the crux of
controversy at the leadership
level of the state Legion.
He was named to the Resolu
tions Assignment Committee of
the national Legion organization
by Karl Wagner, national ex
ecutive committeeman of Port
land. Now a resolution asking
Wagner to resign has been
adopted by the Department of
Oregon Executive Committee.
The state Legion's official
house magazine, the Legion
naire, says the controversy is
over the manner in which rec
ommendations were made to na
tonal Legion headquarters for
selection of Oregon Legion
members for national appoint
ments.
Lists Presented
It says that shortly before the
state Executive Committee
made its resolution, Department
Cmdr. William R. Stevens and
Wagner had each presented tu
the national Legion's Commit
tee on Committees at Indian
apolis, Ind., lists of recommen
dations for appointments to na
tional committees.
Cmdr. Stevens said Wagner
had disregarded the rccommen
dations he (Stevens) had made.
The Legionnaire reports that as
a result the major appointments
made by the national command
er are generally those from
Wagner's list wherever there
was conflict between the names
proposed by Stevens and those
proposed by Wagner.
Stevens emphasizes he has no
quarrel with individuals select
ed, but he does question the
methods used in making the se
lections. Wagner retorts that the
method of department com
mander and department execu-

Is Better Than Kennedy
DALLAS (UPI)-Gov. George
Wallace of Alabama, puffing on
a cigar and greeting everybody
in sight, arrived in Dallas Sun
day night and said he might
run for the Democratic nomina

"I'm not thinking of running
to help Barry Goldwater," Wal

help the Kennedys either."
"Anybody would be better
than Kennedy," Wallace said.
Wallace said he was thinking
about running in the northern
primaries because of "the ex
cellent reception" he had on his
recent speaking trip.
'They weren t just apprecia
tive they were enthusiastic,"
Wallace said.
Wallace is scheduled to hold
a press conference today and
make a speech at a public af
fairs club lunch.
"I think the Kennedys are the
worst thing that has happened
to the nation, he said, and if
I run, I intend to show the peo
ple the truth."
"We don't want anybody com
ing in from the outside to tell
us how to run our affairs."

Wallace scoffed at foreign
press criticism of racial inci
dents in Alabama and Missis
sippi, saying, "we shouldn't
care what they think, they
should care what we think.
"If India gets rid of her un
touchables," Wallace said,
"then maybe they can begin
criticizing segregation. We can't
just change our system of in
dividual freedom for the sake
of the Hottentots in Africa.
Wallace said a Dallas County
(Selma, Ala.) grand jury inves
tigating the use of a Justice
Department car by the Rev
Martin Luther King Jr. to
transport him from Birming
ham to Selma "should expose
the Justice Department for
what it is."
"They will show the world
how the federal government is
interfering in our local affairs,
he said.
He said he did not think any
charges would arise out of the
hearing unless "a Justice De

grand jury."
