Hear Speaker
Members and guests of the
Roseburg Credit Women:
Breakfast Club heard a talk by
Dick Hancock, credit manager
of Montgomery Wards, at their
meeting held this morning at
The Broiler. Twenty-three mem
bers and guests were present,
Using the theme "Retail Cred
it Management," Hancock dis
cussed requirements for a good
credit manager and elaborated
on the duties entailed under
each of several categories.
"Tho retail credit manager, the
most important cog in this field
must be a combination of per
sonnel manager, public rela
tions manager, "sufficiency"
expert, advertising manager
and accountant," Hancock said
In developing the theme.
It was also brought out. the
'credit manager is somewhat of
an amateur lawyer and should
also be able to serve as a su
pervisor or organizer, be active
in stato and local organizations
and bo cognizant of political
developments and familiar with
economic forecasts. "Too much
knowledge never hurt anyone
but lack of knowledge can,"
Hancock suid.

bership was given to Edna Eb-
ner, not now actively working,

Carol herself rang the bell of
the house three doors from her

thick blood and disfigurement.
Also waiting to testify was the
doctor from across the street
who also could not recognize
her and had to be told "it's

Carol Thompson, 34, respect

tions exist.
The road at this location is
being used as a one-way area
oy many vehicles now because
of the danger to trucks and
cars. The slide area is on
corner, adding to the hazard.
High Cliff Discussed
May also discussed the high
cliff that impairs drivers' vi
sion at the intersection of Lit'
tie River Road and the North
Umpqua Highway. May indicat
ed the Road Department will
remove 25 or 30 feet of this
cliff and said the rock could
be used for fill in repairing the
section of road damaged by the
slide.
Because of the concern of the
logging industry, the County
Court stipulated that while ma
jor work is being done on the
slide area a detour will be con
structed. May indicated it
would take about a month to
complete work in the slide
area.
Regarding the cost of the cor
rection of the slide area, Coun
ty Judge V. T. Jackson said
it is imperative that the dan
gcr be eliminated and that cost
is secondary because of the un
safe condition of the road.
Jackson and Commissioners El
mer Metzger and Ray Doerncr
attended the meeting.
Uit Is Extensive
May said tho traffic count on
Little River Road shows usage
by about 1,000 vehicles dally.
James Faughl, representative
of the Douglas County Inde
pendent Log Truckers Associa
tion, said there are at least 60
or 70 log trucks traveling over
the slide area daily.
The County Court also pointed
out plans to improve Buckhorn
Road next summer. Members
of the Glide committee said the
narrow and winding condition
of this road has been a major
concern to residents of the
area. The Buckhorn project is
expected to be a summer-long
job. .
Members of the Glide PTA

special meeting with the County
Court were chairman, Carl

Morgan Says State
Might Lose Money
On Boardman Deal
SALEM (UPI) Oregon will
be "flat on its back for 77
years" if the lease with the
Boeing Company for the Board
man project goes through, ex-
Federal Power Commissioner
Howard Morgan warned Tues
day night.
In fact, Oregon may lose mon
ey, he said.
Morgan, former chairman of
the Democratic Party in Ore
gon, testified before the Joint
Ways and Means Committee,
His remarks were promptly
greeted by a charge from
Warne Nunn, administrative
aid to GOP Gov. Mark Hat
field, that Morgan was "a man
who aspires to be governor."
Nunn said Morgan was using
Boardman as a publicity
launching pad."
"Lopsided" Contract
Morgan called the $60,000 a
year Boeing lease for Boardman
a "lopsided, onesided" contract.
He said it "fits every need of
Boeing," but is "juvenile, ridi
culous and outrageous" for Ore
gon.
Morgan urged the legislature
Demo Convention

Juvenile Camp
Site Is Sought
With its new juvenile boys
came barely in operation, the
Douglas County Juvenile Advis
ory Council is already shopping
around for a new site.
One such site showing prom
ise came to light at Monday
night's meeting in the Court
house at Roseburg.
It was reported that the Big
Camas Ranger Station might
be ideal for a permanent camp.
Ken Miller, supervisor of the
present temporary camp at
Winchester, will examine the
site before the next meeting.
The reason the council is
shopping for n new and possibly
permanent site is that the Win
chester site is likely to be avail
able only until the new Inter
state 5 bridge is constructed
over tho North Umpqua. Win
chester Access Park in which
the camp is located is closed
during the construction period
The boys camp for juveniles
who have run afoul of the law
is the first in the state and is
currently in the experimental
stage. The Douglas County
Court will decide next year
whether or not it is a success
So far, the juvenile department
appraises it as highly success
ful.
The Big Camas sito is about
65 miles east of Roseburg. At
one time it served as the rang
er station for the Diamond Lake
District of tho Umpqua Nation
al Forest. Because of its inac
cessibility in the winter, how
ever, anothtr station was built
at a lower elevation at Tokctce.
The abandonment of Big Cam
as has been considered. The
camp has several houses and
buildings in good condition and
plenty of space.

to assign the project to an in
terim committee for investiga
tion, and to defer action on
emergency legislation proposed
by the governor to bail the
Boardman project out of new
difficulties.
Boeing already has signed the
lease to use the vast tract of
land on the Columbia River in
northeastern Oregon. The lease
becomes operative as soon as
the state acquires clear title to
the land.
Morgan said he had heard ru
mors that "Boeing wants out.'
But if the lease goes into ef
fect, he said, Oregon "will not
be master in its own house."
Morgan said the tax conces
sions to Boeing could cost the
state general fund money. The
lease makes the state respon
sible for taxes on the land, no
matter now high they go, he
saio.
Arrangement Dropped
A previous arrangement for
Boeing to pay the cost of re
moving Naval facilities has been.
dropped, Morgan said.
Morgan said the lease re
quires Boeing to divide with the
state any rentals from sub
tenant industries that might be
drawn to Boardman. But he said
there is "not one word requir
ing Boeing to negotiate in good
faith for sub-ccnants." Under
the lease, he said, Boeing
could sub-lease to its own as
sociates for $5 a year.
"The way is open to discrim
ination and monopoly on a very
large scale," Morgan said.
Morgan noted that Hatfield
has previously opposed give
aways to attract industry. But
he said the proposed lease put
Boeing in a more advantageous
position than if it had been
given the land outright.
"In no document that I have
ever seen is the government
hog-tied to this extent," Mor
gan said.
He said it would be virtually
impossible for the state to can
cel, but easy for Booing.
Drop-Out Rate
High At Academy
The U. S. Air Force Academy
is no bowl of cherries for its

the freshman (fourth class) sec

This was .the report Monday
noon at. a meeting 'at which
U. S. Air Force Reserve MaJ.

was, speaker. The meeting in
the Elks Temple was sponsor
ed by the Air Force for news

Each member of Congress can
