Northeast PORTLAND (UPI) - Two state representative from north eastern Oregon dpclared today they will oppose the Boardman Industrial Park legislation now awaiting action at Salem. Hep. Jack L. Smith, D-l'on-don, and Rep. Clinton P. Haight, D-liakcr, announced their deci sion in a statement at a press; conference. Haight, who had gone borne when the legislature recessed after the assassination! of President Kennedy, did not attend the conference. "We want to save Roardmani for Oregon's tomorrow, not gio: It away for the sake of political expediency today," the lawmak ers said. "These b 1 1 1 s ask us to give tne Hoeing Company carte, blanche in using to Its owni romplrto advantage our state's! upon matters of mutual interest." The Soviet official, here as Khrushchev's representative at the Kennedy funeral, was asked if the possibility of a Johnson Khrushchev summit meeting was dsscussed. Mikoyan replied: "We did not specifically discuss that subject but we are of the opinion that the policies of the United States and our country on matters such as this remain as they were." However, Johnson, moving quickly to lay the groundwork for his foreign policy, arranged to meet with two allied leaders in the near future. At the time of his assassina tion, the Late President John F. Kennedy had indicated no im mediate plans to meet with Khrushchev, although personal relations between the two seemed to be growing more cor dial. Pressed on the question of a summit conference, Mikoyan smilingly begged off with the comment: "1 have to leave it to the discretion of Chair man Khrushchev." The new President's first tan Bible step was to arrange to confer formally next year with French President Charles de Gaulle and British Prime Mm ister Sir Alec Douglas-Home. Cow Is Rescued From Swim Pool Something new has been add cd to the list of services usually performed , by a local towing company. According to a report this morning from Wall's low inK and Ambulance Service, they are now in the business of removing cows lrom swim ming pools. This latest service was per formed after an emergency call Sunday morning from Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hansen ot m. i, Box 350, on the North Umpqua Highway in which they report ed that one of their cows was standing all but submerged in the family swimming pool. According to the llansens, somo disturbance was heard around their place in the early hours Sunday, but a check in the backyard revealed nothing amiss. When the Hansen's arose about 8 a.m. and went into the backyard, one cow from their scattered flock was in the swim ming pool valiantly holding its head above water but apparent ly about ready to give up the effort. The pool is around seven feet deep in one area, the Han sen's report. A daylight check showed that tho nighttime disturbance was the cattle getting out of their usual fenced environment. The stranded cow apparently mis took the dark plastic winter cov er of the swimming pool for a safe walking surface. Rescue was accomplished by means ol a sung pin aruuiui wu animal and a crane to lift it out of the pool. Latest reports indicate that the animal, in poor condition at the time of the rescue, is now well on the road to recovery. Opal E. Willis Mrs. Opal E.

Gradually, Johnson be the presidential train. They came convinced he couldn't get shared Manhattan cocktails on1 the nomination. The fact that he the trip, Roosevelt talked and'was a Southerner was against Johnson listened. Back in Wash ington, Johnson began to re ceive invitations to breakfast at the White House and to get good committee assignments in the House of Representatives, Had Narrow Squeaks Thereafter Johnson had some narrow political squeaks, which would make Hollywood can- hangers seem Improbable, but he definitely was on his way up the Washington ladder. Year by year his influence increased un til his career reached its cul mination last week at the Dallas airport where he was sworn in as President of the United States. Roosevelt kept urging Johnson on Jo bigger and better things, specifically persuading him to run for the U.S. Senate seatiimpossiDie to resist. vacated by the death of Sen. Norris Sheppard Politics in Tex as is gaudy and the infighting is fierce. Johnson had 27 op ponents for the Senat; seat. The most formidable was Gov. Lee O'Danicl whose followers con stantly exhorted him to "pass the biscuits. Pappy." Pappy's technique for discussing the is sues was to hire a hillbilly band and employ a girl singer called Texas Rose. Johnson retaliated by employing a diva weighing 285 pounds and billing her as the Kate Smith of the South." As insurance, he also retained the services of some dancing girls and a black-face comedi-l an. It was in vain. Pappy de feated Johnson by 1,311 votes. Saw Active Duty Two days after Pearl Harbor, Johnson obtained leave from his seat in the House and, as a re serve officer, went on active duty with the Navy as a lieu tenant commander and saw service in the Southwest Paci fic. Roosevelt ordered him to return to his duties as a con gressman, and in 1948 Johnson made his second run for the Senate. His opponent was Gov. Coke Stevenson, who had never lost an election. Johnson changed tactics, substituting a helicopter for the diva and the dancing girls. He roared back and forth across Texas in the helicopter ani cotton field work ers frequently were astonished to hear a voice from the skies bellowing: "Hello down there. This is your candidate, Lyndon Johnson." In a run-off election between Johnson and Stevenson almost one million votes were cast. It was so incredibly close that the final count gave Johnson the victory by 87 votes, and when he took his Senate seat he had lo learn to keep smiling while people referred to him as "Landslide Lyndon. Kept Mouth Shut He spent three years in the Senate making friends and largely keeping his mouth shut. In 1951 he was chosen whip of the Senate Democrats and from there went on to become Dem ocratic leader. It is an office that requires tact, patience and hard work. Johnson had to be come a bridge between the Southern conservatives and the Northern liberals in the party. Sometimes he had to enforce party discipline with stern measures. Sen. William Prox- mire of Wisconsin complained; publicly that Johnson was run ning a one-man show that re duced his fellow Democrats to the role of yes men. Johnson undoubtedly would have taken the Democratic presidential nomination in 1956 if it had been offered to him which it wasn't. In 1960 he made a hard run for it. But he arrived at the Los Angeles Dem ocratic Convention to find that John F. Kennedy's travel and hard work at the political grass roots had made the Johnson cause all but hopeless. Exchanged Harsh Words Johnson fought on and before the balloting started he and Kennedy exchanged some harsh FLEGEL 414 NE Casper Roseburg AGENTS FOR BEKINS Local and Long Distance Moving Commercial Trucking Packing Crating Storage PHONE 673-4436 him, organized labor was skep tical about him, he seemed to be closely tied to the conserva tive oil interests in the South west. If those things made it im possible for him to get the pres idential nomination, they were precisely the reasons Kennedy wanted him for the vice presi dential nomination. The ap proach was made to Johnson, the differences were smoothed over, the harsh words were for gotten and forgiven. Kennedy shrewdly appealed to Johnson on the grounds of party unity and a potential Democratic vic tory. To a man like Johnson, for whom almost every waking n.oment is filled with political considerations, the appeal was Next: The tough early years and what the future holds. Man Is Charged After Striking Policeman Here Robert M. Collom, 38, a Rose burg native but listed by police as a transient, faces charges of vagrancy and resisting arrest, in Roseburg Municipal Court, and assault and battery, as charged in a District Court complaint.
